thousands of people who survived kentucky's worst tornadoes in 24 years. >> the death toll now stands at 39 from those storms that barreled across the midwest and the south on friday and saturday. 21 people were killed in kentucky, 13 more in indiana, including a little girl who was found alive after a tornado killed her family. rescue workers continue to search for more possible victims. the national weather service says it issued nearly 300 tornado warnings on friday and saturday. a local resident took this video of one tornado that destroyed much of the town of west liberty kentucky. that is where anna westerner is this morning. good morning. >> good morning, erica. the snow has really fallen here overnight. a week ago this might have been a pretty sight here in this town. at worst, a minor inconvenience. now, this could be down right dangerous as it covers obstructions, like twisted and stray nails. a town is trying to put itself back together. >> we are going back to work. so we're together with this. we want you all to spread that word. >> in west liberty, officials promise the town will get back on its feet. crews are cleaning up. some banks are reopening. and a few residents have made it into town to survey the damage to their homes. >> i mean, i seen the tree go down, from there to here. >> the story echoed all across the midwest and south where tornadoes claimed lives in five states. in alabama sunday, governor robert bentley toured another tornado stricken town, eagle creek, where one man died friday. in dallas, a baptist men's organization loaded up an 18-wheeler with supplies to distribute to hard hit regions in the south. when two violent twisters struck henryville, indiana, friday, entire neighborhoods were wiped out. now, volunteers have arrived by the hundreds. and crews are working to restore power. on sunday, members of a local catholic church gathered under their patched up roof to support each other. but another life was lost sunday when a toddler who had been found alive in an indiana field died of her injuries. angel babcock fell victim to the tornado that also killed her father, mother and two siblings. even for survivors, the psychological impact of seeing a tornado close up may take a long time to fade. back in west liberty, teresa eldridge can't forget hiding in a bathroom with her two young children. >> i don't know. it felt like the house was going to come down or the roof was going to come off. and i just thought we were all going to die. >> here in west liberty, they are expecting a lot of volunteers to be flooding in to help with the cleanup amidst the snow here today. meanwhile, the american red cross says they have a couple of very specific needs here. they need nursery water to make formula for babies and they also need food. they say they're running through this way too quickly now. >> anna, thank you. at the white house this morning, president obama meets israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. their discussion at a time when israel refuses to rule out an attack on iran's nuclear facilities. could help determine if there will be a new middle east war in the coming months. >> on sunday, the president focused on that in a speech to an important pro-israel group. chive white house correspondent norah o'donnell has that story. >> good morning. president obama is fiercely backing up -- making clear that the u.s. shares israel's desire to prevent a nuclear armed iran. but the president also seems intent on pointing out that he wants more time for diplomacy, saying in this speech that he has a "deeply held preference for peace over war." >> i have israel's back. >> in a speech to the powerful pro-israel lobbying group aipac, the president promised to act militarily if necessary to defend israel. >> iran's leaders should have no doubt about the united states. when it comes to preventing iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, i will take no options off the table and i mean what i say. >> but he also made clear he prefers diplomacy and that tough economic sanctions are working. >> already there is too much loose talk of war. over the last few weeks, such talk has only benefited the iranian government by driving up the price of oil, which they depend on to fund their nuclear program. >> it's the same message the president will deliver today to prime minister netanyahu who made clear israel does not need u.s. permission to attack iran. >> perhaps most important of all, i appreciated the fact that he said that israel must be able to defend itself by itself against any threat. >> the israeli prime minister said last week he would not set down red lines for israeli or u.s. action. he has said he will go further than the u.s. and demand iran end all of its uranium enrichment. >> the demand on iran should be clear. dismantle the underground facility, stop enrichment inside iran and get all the enriched material out of iran. >> and that is the very crux of this discussion between the israeli prime minister and president obama. mr. netanyahu want to make sure that iran never even gets close to developing the capability to have a nuclear weapon. the personal dynamics of this meeting will also be pretty interesting. it is their ninth meeting together. but their last get together in the oval office was pretty tense and when president obama was recently asked to describe their relationship, he called it functional. charlie and erica? >> norah, thanks. with us arizona senator john mccain. senator, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> should the president's speech reassure the israelis? >> speeches are excellent policies, not so good. from the beginning, when the president insisted on a settlement freeze as a pre-condition for talks between israel is and the pal stin cannians, relations vab worse than they've ever. charlie, suppose there was a country in our hemisphere dedicating to wiping us off the map, developing a nuclear weapon and at some point we didn't have the capability to remove that threat but had to rely on another ally to do that for us. that's basically the situation that the israelis may find themselves in and i would add that we were surprised when pakistan acquired nuclear weapons, we were surprised when north korea acquired nuclear weapons. so what the president is asking the prime minister of israel to do is to rely on his judgment as to when the force may be necessary. by the way, the sanctions which the president praised, which i praise as well, in view of all of us have not deterred the iranians from the path that they're on and that is acquiring a nuclear weapon. >> do you think the israelis should take action now, senator? >> i think that's a judgment to be made by the israelis, but the israelis see, even though the sanctions have been harmful to the iranian economy, the israelis see the iranians on a steady path to being a nuclear weapon and they have pledged to "wipe israel off the map," they have committed acts of terror throughout the world, including here, attempting in washington, d.c. to assassinate the saudi ambassador. we should have no doubt about the nature of the regime in iran. >> the president seemed to go some distance in this speech to say "why is that despite me never failing to support israel in every problem, there's still questions about that?" he even said "we have israel's back." is there some distinction that you know that separates where the president is and where prime minister is today at this moment? >> well, the evidence is that just a week or two ago, both the president's national security adviser and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff traveled to israel trying to get israel to pledge not to attack iran and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff stated that iran was "a nuclear -- a rational nation." that's an interesting view of a rational nation. and also said that the iranians had not decided whether to assemble a -- whether to have a nuclear weapon or not. and while they are assembling all the components and sticking them into underneath a mountain so they wouldn't be destroyed. so there's very little doubt in my mind anyway, about what iran's intentions are. >> the reference i made to the quote was in the atlantic magazine not in the speech. may i tourn politics for a second. we have super tuesday coming up. >> sure. >> if romney wins in ohio and wins in tennessee, does that pretty much make it over as far as you see? >> i think it does. but with the super pacs and the candidates' ability to continue to be funding -- by the way, it's the most outrageous supreme court decision in my view. it's just disgraceful that i think they will still be able to continue. but i hope that at that point most of us would declare or believe it's over and start focusing on the real adversary. that, of course, is winning the november election. >> one question about rush limbaugh, who is obviously a prominent radio personality. does he have some power within the republican party? >> sure. absolutely. he has influence because he has a strong conservative base. i know that. but those statements were unacceptable in every way and should be condemned by everyone, no matter what their political leanings are. >> are you satisfied that those republican officials have gone far enough in condemning these statements? >> oh, i leave that up to pundits like you, charlie. but it is totally unacceptable. >> senator mccain, there's also a movie that's this week. you're not going to look at it. why are you not going to see a movie about your campaign? >> because it's based on a book that is full of unattributed quotes, things that absolutely never happened and if it's based on that book, which i was briefed on o, then, of course, it can't be accurate. >> senator, it's always good to have you on the program. thank you so much. >> thanks, charlie. we'll have more on rush limbaugh. he apologized over weekend for the language he used describing a law student who wants insurance for birth control coverage. the republican presidential candidates are being drawn into the controversy. political correspondent jan crawford is in dayton, ohio where the important super tuesday primary is, of course, tomorrow. jan, good morning. >> good morning, erica. that's right. super tuesday is just hours away. the candidates are out making their final push for voters and hope to be focusing on the issues like the economy and energy prices. instead, they found themselves answering questions about rush limbaugh. he's a media powerhouse known for rallying the right. but for some conservatives rush limbaugh's latest comments are too much. rick santorum and mitt romney tried to distance themselves from the controversy. >> he's being absurd. an entertainer can be absurd. >> that's not the language i would have used. >> the controversy began after georgetown university law student sandra fluke testified in support of mandatory contraceptive coverage under her school's healthcare plan saying birth control would cost $3,000. >> it means you're slut, right? she wants to be paid to have sex. it's fluke. the rest of you, here's the deal. if we are going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it. i'll tell you what it is. we want you to post the videos online so we can all watch. >> insisting he did not mean to personally attack fluke, limbaugh issued an apology saying my choice of words was not the best. in an attempt to be humorous, i created a national stir. but saturday's apology became sunday talk show fodder. >> i'm astonished at the desperation of the elite media. suddenly to decide that rush limbaugh is the great national crisis of this week. >> it played into this troop that the republicans have a war on women. no, they don't. but he made it look that way. >> calling his language crude, ron paul questioned limbaugh's apology. >> i don't think he's very apologetic. he's doing it because some people were taking their advertisements off his program. it was his bottom line that was concerned about. >> seven companies have pulled commercials from limbaugh's nationally syndicated show. online data company carbonite said it crossed the line and issued this statement. "we hope that our action will ultimately contribute to a more civilized public discourse." media expert e eric dezenhall h more. >> makes his living crossing the line. for every person who loudly protests, there are also people who silently agree with him. >> limbaugh had some defenders, but they were drowned out by the protests on o the left and critics on the right. for some republicans, there was also this concern. that the focus on the limbaugh controversy was distracting from the important issues and playing right into democrats' hands as both sides fight for that critical female vote. charlie and erica? jan, thank you. there is big news out of the nfl this morning. where the league is investigating bounty programs where players are paid for knocking opponents out of games. the league is meeting with greg williams today. williams admits he ran such a program. as the new orleans saint top defensive coach. for saints players reportedly paid each other thousands of dollars for knocking out players like kurt warner. other teams also had bounty programs. it is time to show you some the headlines from around the globe. editorial in britain's telegraph newspaper says russian voters support vladimir putin because of the politics of fear. after he was elected by a landslide. the candidate finished second. the owner of the nba's new jersey nets was second. fort worth star telegram has a story of booming gun sales in texas. some say it may be out of fear that president obama will be re-elected and crackdown on private gun ownership. a story in the washington post said food and drug administration is changing the way it inspects food. >> usa today reports on rory mcilroy taking over the number one ranking in golf after winning the honda classic on sunday. tiger woods finished two strokes back after shooting a 62. his best score ever in the final round of a tournament. in alaska, this year's iditarod sled dog race is under way. the daily news reports that 66 mushers and their dogs got started yesterday. they will travel a thousand miles from southern alaska to nome. this national weather report sponsored by the complete balanced nutrition of ensure. ensure, nutrition in charge. an allstar cast put on a real life drama over the weekend. george clooney and brad pitt appeared in a play about california's legal battle over same sex marriage. we'll check out the show this morning. speaking of the a-list, britain's prince harry doing a little island hopping in the caribbean. we'll tell you why he's there and why people are going crazy for him. you're watching "cbs this morning." this portion of "cbs this morning" upon sword by a convenient a. discover the power of active naturals. improve the health of your skin with aveeno daily moisturizing lotion. the natural oatmeal formula goes beyond 24-hour moisture. it's clinically proven to improve your skin's health in one day, with significant improvement in 2 weeks. for healththat lasts.l skin i found a moisturizer for life.
