his foreign policy. alisyn: alan, what about that in terms whether or not voters have a short attention span? is what is happening with israel and afghanistan and iran in the forefront of voters mind right now than the fact that the president did take out bin laden and other al qaeda leaders. and in libya qaddafi. other top al qaeda leaders he set a tremendous record getting rid of top al qaeda leaders. most americans focus on economy and pocketbook and how much they re spending on gas and things like that. is more credible area what we experience day-to-day in terms of how people feel when they go into a voting booth. there is, talk about american exceptionalism in a moment. of course. this is powerful concept. you shake your head and roll your ice. this is another old kinard. you didn t let me finish, i excuse me i didn t even make the point yet before you said it was a kinard. american exceptional system not a kinard. there is nothing untruthful
did he watch the video and how easily gets out of the car? reporter: public and family demands that george zimmerman be arrested and charged with murder will get even larger and louder this weekend. the naacp, accompanied by reverends jesse jackson and al sharpton, are planning a big march and rally tomorrow up in sanford, florida. it will end at the police department and reverend al sharpton now saying, that if zimmerman is not he is arrested and arrested soon, he is going to vocalize calls for a massive civil disobedience, maybe even economic sanctions defense the against the city of sanford if zimmerman is not arrested. that decision rests with the special prosecutor, state attorney angela cory in jacksonville. no word whether or not when that decision whether or not to charge zimmerman will come. alisyn: this issue is not going away. phil keating, thank you. the uproar over pink slime
president obama. alisyn: sure. alan, you heard mike. some people think his vulnerabilities on foreign policy are israel and iran and the ongoing trouble in afghanistan. well, mitt romney said he will give foreign policy speech in a month or two as soon as he figures out what he thinks. he has gone after the president in an op-ed piece recently where he said the very same things obama is doing. talked about missile defense. talked about stricter sanctions, the very policies obama is doing. i don t know what mitt romney brings to the table. you have the former head of the mossad who has said that romney is causing problems by this warmongering. he says we can t give iran much longer. that is causing instability. if you re iran you will start fast, more quickly developing weapons. so, you know, i don t know what romney is doing. he is causing instability in the middle east. that causes higher gas prices. i don t know what poll he has got is different than what president obama would do.
seconds they would have received a very important message. alisyn, there is lot of anger regarding these reverse 911 calls as you can imagine. some folks are hoping they can at least get into the burn area so they can do a quick estimate of their home. they have to be escorted by the sheriff s department and then they have to leave again. alisyn: we can understand the anger. that is more than a glitch. alicia acuna, thanks so much. well the economy of course has been front and center in the race for the white house but a new reports suggests that the gop frontrunner, mitt romney is about to challenge president obama on foreign policy. some republicans expressed serious concerns about the president s handling of israel and iran as well as the war in afghanistan. so let s debate all this. alan colmes, the host of the alan colmes show. mike gallagher a syndicated radio show host and fox news contributor. gentlemen, thanks for being here. how are you?
that shows whether or not how much strain they re putting on average household. great deal of strain, 37%. moderate strain, 40%. not very much, 12%. add the first two numbers up, 77% of the families feeling the heat right now. they are feeling the pinch i think. these polls, i was curious, are people answering this looking how much more they re spending per month on gasoline or again just a perception they see this as all over the news, in the headlines, 20 straight days, gas prices going up. so i don t think we talked a moment off air. i don t know if people are spending less. i really don t think they are but what we re going to see in my mind and this continues, suddenly 4.50 in the gas this summer then it hits us. that could take a major hit to the economy struggling a bit to get out of its own way. alisyn: in terms of what we re talking about, part is behavioral. are people changing what they re doing as a result of gas prices? here is another piece of the poll. high gas prices
