together. doing so is not an option but an obligation. i welcome debate among my team, but i won t tolerate division. all of us have personal interests. all of us have opinions. our politics often fuels conflict, but we have to renew our sense of common purpose and meet our responsibilities to one another and to our troops who are in harm s way and to our country. like a public school teacher in a tough neighborhood. yeah. now is the time to work together. they have been in office a year and a half now. i just want to run through. mcchrystal was taking shots, his people were calling him a clown, jim jones, the national security adviser who wasn t there today, taking shots at eikenberry, the ambassador to afghanistan, the state department representative, taking shots at joe biden, chuckling behind him behind his back and even chuckling about the president not being prepared for their initial meeting. who is he talking to here? one thing he should be
taking away its sovereignty. civil war talk there. four of these attorneys general are running for governor, by the way. i should add. some politics here. we re going to look at the gop morning-after strategy. plus, losing ugly. with the use of the n word and gay or anti-gay epitaphs and the cry of baby killer by randy, it s become more and more difficult to digs ting wish republican office holders from their extreme tea party supporters. what is it about health care reform that causes opponents to reach for the nastiest charges? and on the heels of his health care victory, president obama meets today with israeli prime minister benjamin netenyahu. in fact, the meeting s tonight. can he mend the diplomatic rift with israel and get the peace process back on track? and finally some thoughts about the brother who wasn t there today, senator edward kennedy. we start with this historic day, itself. with senator sheldon whitehouse, a democrat of rhode island.
jeffrey no. jeffrey, let me ask you, were you surprised to hear something like this had happened? sure. you don t expect something like this to happen. tilikum is a great animal and dawn is a great trainer. i m sad it did happen, shocked. yet, tilikum has a history. so, were you aware of this history? um, yes, i was aware of the history. and do you think it s surprising then that tilikum would attack again? two other instances where people died. do you think this animal should still have access to humans? only the most experienced trainers get to work with tilikum. i m not sure of the exact incident in vancouver and the guy in 1999 apparently jumped over the fence at night and got into the pool with tilikum. it s hard to say whether that was an act of play or aggression, and i wasn t there today, so, i can t really tell you what happened today.
