Anything involving the ellis act please continue your conversation. You will notice there are a number of supporters here, as well as opponents. The opponents are wearing stickers that say dont evict the sunlight from the park. We believe the opposition is really about unrelated eviction issues and we ask that you focus, please, on the issue before the commission today, which is a negligible shading impact on the park. This project is about creating housing, including Affordable Housing. The project sponsor should not be penalized because of his unpopularity. To the extent that some of the people that we were instructed to negotiate with, actually showed up and held a protest and evictionrelated protest in the project sponsors shoe store. We are excited about this project and were disappointed there is opposition completely unrelated to the issue here. Were confident and hope that the commission will take that into account. Thank you very much for your consideration. Thank you. Paul an
The certain themes that emerged . Guest no i covered obama for the Washington Post for quite a while. I was living in chicago and working for the Washington Post am i recognized Michelle Obama has led a remarkable life a trajectory which is fascinating and i felt that it was worth telling a story where she is at the center of her own narrative not just the. When i embarked on the project i very much wanted to figure out where she was coming from. This thing she was doing in the white house and what were the origins of that and that meant getting into her Family History and chicago history and the history that she had lived. Host chicagoans up being a major player in her story. Going back there and looking at the life of her father whom she called her northstar even after he had died. What was it about her parents her father in particular that gave her that outlook enter values .

You are watching live coverage of the white house Correspondents Dinner. As we continue to show you a little bit behind the scenes of what is happening at the dinner. We talked to margaret carlson. He said he was time. Is now with bloomberg view. Both critique the white house Correspondents Dinner. The dinner has grown beyond its original purpose, to put journalists together with officials and politicians to get to know each other in an informal setting. The cast of duck dynasty, have nothing to do with politics mind you, i would be devastated if i couldnt go to the dinner. The best thing they could do is to get rid of the excess, where we spent more on Valet Parking then scholarships for aspiring journalists. My big take away its not against parties that dont invite me to events or celebrities, to me, the critique is washington in general. I do not mind if the dinner exists. What i mind is that it is our super bowl. Whose fault is that . They bear some responsibility for it. They have

She can disappoint the liberal base on a certain number of things and still be the nominee. She has to decide where to take those shots. Reporter this is a factor in the president ial race, but also the senate race. You see people like mr. Portman and mr. Toomey is voting for the bill, they are both of her reelection on 2015 and this could come back to hurt them. Sen. Brown the only republican who voted against it was from north carolina. He is in a state that has been hit very hard, textiles, furniture. Nafta is not a very popular issue in you
