about jobs and also trying to raise a little money. jobs were the emphasis last night at a speech to the congressional black caucus. some in the congressional black caucus have been critical of the president saying he hasn t focused enough on african-american issues including african-american unemployment which right now is at 16.7%. listen to the president telling the crowd he expects them to be with him. i m going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. i don t have time to feel sorry for myself. i don t have time to complain. i m going to press on. i expect all of you to march with me and press on. let me bring in athena jones this morning from washington. good morning to you. the president last night, some in that room had been critical of him. did he tell them what they wanted to hear last night and what was the reaction afterwards? well, you know, it was a fiery speech and he really riled up the crowd all the way through. he wa
hard-earned money. some simple thingsckpñ you can our financial experts will fill us in on how to live on less. but first, let s turn to washington, shall we, where this time next week we could see some government agencies shutting down because they will be out of money. lawmakers are still arguing over a new spending plan to keep everything up and running. they re off this weekend after days and days of bickering, the biggest sticking point here is over money for disaster relief. republicans in the house say any monies for fema must be offset by alternative energy programs. democrats say, huh-uh. that s the danger to this country is the $14 trillion deficit and the $ 1.6 trillion we add to it every year. wake up! wake up! you can t kill these programs. this is the solution you are killing. the senate majority leader harry reid sans intends to push for a vote monday on the compromised package. deputy political director paul steinhauser explains why republicans are in
pacific. now my take. the european crisis you have been reading about in the newspapers is worth watching carefully. it has now morphed into something much bigger than a european crisis. it could batter the entire global economy which is pretty fragile anyway. you read a lot about greece. the real problem is italy. you see, greece is a nano state and makes up 2% of the european union s gross domestic problem. italy is one of the seven or eight largest economies in the world. its debts are greater than those of spain, portugal, ireland, and greece combined. it has long been governed in an almost cartoonishly bad manner. italy is too big to fail but may be too big to bail. even germany may not be able to bail it out along with all the other troubled countries. so what can be done? i don t think the leading proposals will work. creating ueuro bonds or gives brussels broader powers to tax and spend. those things won t happen. people oppose it in europe, governments oppose it in

good evening. is michele bachmann s latest misstep the beginning of the end of her campaign? by most accounts bachmann did well in the republican debate taking rick perry to task on his order to girls to get the hpv vaccine suggesting he was catering to pharmaceutical manufacturer, merck. i ll tell you this, i had a mother last thiet come up to me here in tampa, florida, after the debate. she told me that her little daughter took that vaccine, that injection and she suffered from mental retardation thereafter. it can have very dangerous side effects. the mother was crying when she came up to me last night. i didn t know who she was before the debate. this is the very real concern. people have to draw their own conclusions. that was bachmann on the today show accounting what some stranger said to her. no reason to doubt someone says this to mrs. bachmann but it s incredibly irresponsible for her to repeat this as part of her argument against the hpv vaccine and then thro
