on those critics that call him weak and said he does believe in american exceptionalism showing leadership around the world but insisted again and again in this speech that s not just about military might that you can use sanctions and drones and targeted attacks to go after terrorists around the world although the insisted he s bringing more reform to the process of drones to make sure they re not targeting civilians. listen. i also believe we must be more transparent about both the basis of our counter terrorism actions and the manner in which they are carried out. we have to be able to explain them publicly whether it is drone strikes or training partners. so the bottom line is that the president facing a lot of pressure from his critics, the washington post had a blistering editorial today suggesting the only thing that s been consistent in the president s foreign policy is consistently bad results, trouble in iraq post war by not leaving any american troops
fundamental climate change issue. all it does is alienate canada which is one of our two most important training partners. and you re right. this is an opportunity for the united states to embrace a serious energy policy that reflect this fact we actually have the energy sufficiency. this is actually a moment of taking a tough decision which we could accomplish a lot for ourselves in places like ukraine but also iran. we re entering the final part of our stages there. we didn t get to the jeb story. but what s going on? it s an article in the new york times about his financial background. some investments he made that didn t go so well. and other kind of connections that he had that might make him a little bit of a target during the presidential campaign if he were to run. but we ll get to that a little later. i think people have been beginning to look at him
there are clear skies over sochi tonight. though that was not the case for much of the day. last week, it was warm temperatures. early today, fog played a factor in olympic winter games and forced organize force postpone men s border cross and biathlon. nothing could dampen the day for some americans. here are the latest results from today s events there s your warning and spoiler alert. in case you missed it, the u.s. earned its first-ever gold in ice dance. nice! yay! meryl davis and charlie white beat their canadian training partners, the defending gold duo of ressa virtue and scott moir by five points. russia said bronze davis and white who have skated together for 16 years were nearly flawless during their free skate which airs again in primetime tonight. yay. for the first time in 61 years, the u.s. men have immediatallied in medaled in the two-man bobsled. they slid to bronze just .09 second behind the russians who took home the gold.
medalist herself, joins me live now from sochi. nancy, good to see you. thanks, so glad to be here. let me just first of all get your reaction to last night s performance. well, meryl and charlie skated so beautifully last night. i mean, i was sitting in the audience and they were just so fluid. there was just smooth, right from the start. they really looked like it s not work for them. they look like they are out there and enjoying it. i mean, even tessa and scott who are in second place right now, training partners, they have the same coach, and the reigning olympic champions, you know, they just look to me like they are working a little harder. i mean, they are both beautiful teams, but meryl and charlie just look fluid. it was gorgeous. and, you know, it looked like, to me at least, looked like they were dancing across a dance floor, not skating on a sheet of ice. as someone who knows what it s like on the ice, how difficult was that type of routine?
i m looking forward to seeing him do the butterfly one more time, low and lean. there will be a lot of people watching that one. tomorrow, we ve got track and field. it started yesterday. tomorrow we ll have the men s 100 meter final which is one of the events i m most looking forward to because of this great ravalry that developed between two jamaicans, bolt of course lit the world on fire with his world record performances in the 100 and 200 and johan blake stepped up and may be better than bolt right now. he beat them at the jamaican olympic trials. it s going to be interesting to see the gamesmanship between the two of them. they are the only two who have a serious chance at winning the race. they are buddies and training partners. the man they call the blade runner and all sorts of other great names about him. i love that story.
