last time i went to the supermarket, there was an entire produce section. people don t grow all of their own vegetables, even though it would be cheaper to do so. people don t brew their own alcohol or cease going to bars because alcohol is more expensive in those outlets. they do it for the convenience, they do it to be law had been abiding citizens, and that same principle would apply to legal marijuana. i appreciate you both making time to have this conversation today. it s one we ll obviously see a bit more between now and november. time for now for the dig list. president obama going to propose measures to give some jobless home owners a three-month break on their home payments. the move follow as $75 billion effort to modify mortgages and reduce foreclosures. put it in the context of the $23 trillion that the government uses to support the large banks, it is the start, but it s a drop in the bucket compared to what you as a taxpayer have provided to financial institutions t
allawi, either, it gives him a shot at forming a coalition government. ha does it mean? more than you might think. we re fortunate to have our chief foreign correspondent, richard engel, in the building. ha does it mean? reporter: it potentially means a tidal shift in politics in iraq. this is the most significant development in iraq perhaps in several years. what we re seeing now is if it holds, allawi i emerging as the most powerful political figure in iraq, potentially the next prime minister. he is secular, pro-american, so that would be a change in direction for iraq. for the last several years you ve seen a government in iraq that is iranian-leaning and religious. so having a government that s iranian-leaning and has a religious bent to it, moving to a secular, pro-american state that is a major difference and will have a major impact, not only on american foreign policy, but also the entire middle east. to what do you attribute this? people were tired of the poor
his job? and the answer is no at the very least you d have parents banging down door of this expect, expecting answers. and yet, for some reason it seems that the catholic church is bending over backwards to protect the pope. if he wants to save this church, which is losing member ship, which has been losing tithing and donations, then he needs to fall on his sword like a real leader does and resign. there s absolutely no other choice at this point. the whole story they ve been selling us for the last ten years, that we simply didn t know the extent of it, has been proven false. chris, do you agree with that? well i m not catholic, it s not my business what the pope does. if it turns out that the pope did know there were hundreds of child molestations happening under his watch, or if the leader of any organization, religious or not, finds out that his or her employees are molesting children on his or her watch and he s advancing them, do you think that that warrants direct engage
criminal charges, penetrating beyond the veil of the vatican, is a good point of inquiry. it s a good point of start. and i think in the united states, when we went through the horrible scourging, that we experienced through the priests, pedophile priests and the molestations that went on here for generations, i don t think law enforcement probably did what they needed to do and i think they treated clergy differently than they would have other people. as for the question whether the pope should resign, that s up to the catholics, it s up to the pope. it s not a company, it s not a ceo. should they face criminal charges? i think that s a fruitful line of inquiry. i think we can all agree to mr. hitchens point, if a supervisor is molesting children and the supervisor knows it, that seems like the basis for a legal case. i don t care what you say. kelly, thank you so much. the three of us in agreement on that check out kelly s post on the huffington post. police throwing cold water
undeterred by none strabl facts. the hypocrisy and hart redd. and offer us a calm, responsible, grown-up agenda based on your values and your vision for america. do you think that the gop doing that right now? i think the gop did do that. absolutely. throughout this process. remember, this was a year-long process and we introduced bill after bill i m talking about everything, not just health care. to turn an analogy on its head, if the republican introduces a bill and the mainstream media doesn t pay attention to it, it doesn t mean it wasn t introduced. 60% of the voters want us to keep fighting. they re not saying start fighting, we re going it do that. if only you would fight against the special interests, instead of trying to reduce health care coverage. absolutely, we were. i have facts, the best plan you had covered 83%, you didn t reach the standard set by the president. the republicans couldn t get that doug. we ll talk to you soon, coming
