fired up over america s economic troubles had no one to blame but themselves. here s what he told the wall street journal . don t blame wall street. don t blame the big banks. if you don t have a job and you re not rich, blame yourself. then this past weekend, cain fired another shot at the protesters on cbs face the nation. watch. my parents never said that we hope that the rich people lose something so we can get something. no. my dad s idea was, i want to work hard enough so i can buy a cadillac, not take somebody else s. but, listen. now cain is tweaking his message and saying the protesters should be blaming someone. the white house. here s what he said last night during the bloomberg/ washington post gop debate. that response was directed at the people that are protesting on wall street. not that 14 million people who are out of work for no reason of their own, other than the economy s not growing. not the millions of people that are underemployed. they h
from the u.s. embassy in saudi arabia. the embassy says it received information about a terror plot to kidnap westerners in the saudi capital of riyadh. the warning urges u.s. citizens to mix up their normal routines and to keep aware of their security at all times. however, the state department says there is no reason for u.s. citizens to leave saudi arabia. this afternoon, secretary of state hillary clinton indicated the united states will soon formally declare pakistan s haqqani network a terrorist organization. the group is considered a major threat to u.s. and nato troops in afghanistan. we re going to continue to struggle against terrorism and in particular against those who have taken up safe havens inside pakistan. also today, in an interview that will air on cnn, the chairman of the u.s. joint chiefs of staff repeated his accusation that pakistan s intelligence agency, the isi, supports the haqqani network. it s been there for a long time. and unless the pakist
it s proportional representation he needs to split up the quote, tea party vote and needs bachmann in the race. bob, can we take a listen to michele bachmann, how she handled the hpv issue and frankly, i think that bought her a little more time. take a listen to this. the governor s former chief of staff was the chief lobbyist for this drug company, the drug company gave thousands of dollars in political donations to the governor and this is just flat out wrong. the company was merck, and it was a $5,000 contributions that i had received from them. i raise about 30 million dollars and if you re saying that i can be bought for 5,000, i m offended. well, i m offended for all the little girls and the parents that didn t have a choice pt that s what i m offended from. and all the women, did you hear that was predominantly female the next round of applause, counter punch. i agree with you, greg, it s a

have to run other people down when you run for president. i think what he found pretty quickly was that was the only way he could get attention, and now the only way anyone is noticing him is through his negative comments about the other candidates. everyone knew john mccain when he ran for president in 2000, he didn t have to introduce himself. huntsman has this trap where first of all, people don t have a good sense where he is. now they are learning about him and see him sniping at other republican candidates, so, you know, i think it is a little bit of desperation. has he disqualified himself, there are moderate voters in the republican party, and, you know, there are scenarios where the very conservative candidates splinter the conservative vote, the tea party vote, and a moderate could rise to the top by default. you know, maybe in new hampshire where that primary is open and you can have independent voters 1 going to be all religious conservatives and tea party is going to make
