that the woman yesterday was a liar, reporters are liars, everybody on the record are liars. that s a lot to ask. maybe they re trying to help their party. republican strategist ed rollins told reuters this week that the new allegation was, quote, the final nail in the coffin. here is, by the way, somebody who is on the religious right, the christian conservative movement, michele bachmann today an conservative radio show. and by the way, i do trust her on these issues. i think she knows what she believes, and she believes what s right and wrong, from her perspective. let s listen. when it came out yesterday, everyone said, this is it. he s done. and so people just don t see that there s an ability for him to be able to come back after that. and i think that now the field is narrowing considerably. wow. and here s mike huckabee on fox news. by the way, he s a protestant minister, mike huckabee. let s listen to him last night. let s watch. it s a serious charge, the allegation i
issue many people thought would settle. i m wolf blitzer. you re in the the situation room. president obama is going around congress for his latest plan. he is out west focusing in on the ongoing housing crisis that continues to drag down the u.s. economy. he wants it make it easier for a homeowners who are under water to refinance and he is unveiling his plan in one of hardest hit housing markets in the country. we are talking about las vegas nevada. jessica is joining us now with details. jessica, what is the president doing? he is rolling out a new plan to help homeowners drowning in massive mortgage payments who can t take advantage of the historically low interest rates because the value of their home has plummeted. that s the policy but there s politics here too. nevada, a must-win for the president in 2012. statewide home values have fallen 53% since the height of the crisis, 59% in las vegas. so that s where the president is unveiling his latest housing plan. so
dispute between trustees over a couple million dollars in islamic cultural center and mosque. i get where the koran rules inside the mosque. it has to do with bigger things involving the mosque and people at large. that goes out the window. it does go out the window but what s going on out the window in this country and it s across the board and we ve seen it recently with the sharia and the application of sharia is some people actually trying to apply sharia in criminal context like in the state of new jersey that we talked about. it s a disrespect for the constitution. it s a disrespect for the fact that the government should not be deciding how a protestant minister runs his congregation. how a catholic priest runs his parish. how an imam runs the mosque that he runs and so this judge is
at his dove outreach center. before that, he ran a church in coal lone, germany, until he got the boot. phil black looks at the controversy. reporter: the leaders of terry jones old church in germany believe that jones will go through with his plans because, they say, that s the sort of person he is, stubborn, strong-willed, someone who once he set his mind to something always follows through with it, but the key to emphasize is that this church no longer has any association with terry jones. they had a bitter separation back in 2008, we re told, over his style of leadership, the strength of his personality, the direction he was taking the church, but we have also talked to a protestant minister here who says he counselled dozens of his former church in this city, people whose lives have been forever damaged by their relationship with terry jones. he says jones was not just a
involvement in the operation of the state is absolutely antithetical to the objectives and vision of our country. to say that people of faith have no role in the public square? you bet that makes you throw up. wow. in september of 1960, many of us remember john kennedy traveled to houston to speak to the greater houston ministerial association. he argued that the catholic church would not dictate his presidency. let s watch a bit of that historic speech. it is apparently necessary for me to state once again. not what kind of church i believe in, for that should be important only to me, but what kind of america i believe in. i believe in an america where the separation of church and state is absolute. where no catholic could tell the president should he be catholic how to act and no protestant minister would tell his people how to vote.
