Senator tom coburn has harsh parting words for his congressional colleagues. I see him make decisions every day that benefit their career rather than the country. And thats what is so sickening about washington. Stahl coburn has been called the godfather of the tea party, doesnt believe in Global Warming, and is a stanch conservative on government spending. So what does he think about president obama . I just love him as a man. I think hes a neat man. Im proud of our country that we elected barack obama. I remember a few years ago, i was asked to do an interview for 60 minutes, i was too scared. Rose you said no. I didnt know what to say. And now when i was approached, i thought now, yeah, this makes sense. I have something to say now. Oh my god. What have i done . Rose she says it through her new film wild. She plays a broken woman seeking to reclaim her life by hiking a punishing 1,100 miles alone on the Pacific Crest trail. Hey, where am i . Kroft im steve kroft. Stahl im lesley sta
Record. But not to be today. Murray bottled up again. Preston brown on the tackle. And itll take us down to the 2minute warning. 2617, the Oakland Raiders in their final home game of the regular season this year. They have the lead. Youre watching the nfl on cbs. You know, if you play football for a long time like i did, youre gonna learn to deal with alot of pain. But it is nothing like the pain that shingles causes. Man when i got shingles it was something awful. It was like being blindsided by some linebacker. You dont see it coming. Boom it was this painful rash of little blisters. Red, ugly stuff. Lots of em. Not a good deal. If youve had chicken pox, uhhuh, we all remember chicken pox. Well that shingles virus is already inside of you. It aint pretty when it comes out. Now im not telling you this so that youll feel sorry for me. Im just here to tell you that one out of three people are gonna end up getting shingles. I was one of em. Take it from a guy whos had his fair share of p
Argue is to get spending in washington under control so that we are are not up their borrowing more and more money all the time and war of our countrys assets and resources can be deployed towards things that would yield a return that will put more people to work that will grow the economy and expand their standard of living in the quality of life for the people across this country. Time is short. The clock is running. Time is wasting. We need to get this done. In the near term except the nine bills that are sitting here in the senate that have been passed by the house that would put a lot of these services and programs that impact people that have been expressed so many times by my colleagues on the other side of the aisle they would put funding back in place for those and secondly lets get together, the president s democrats and republicans here in washington d. C. To talk about not only raising the debt limit but what we are going to do to address the underlying debt. You senators t
It is full of intrigue and turmoil and lots of fingerpointing. Who wrote this mustread . None other than former treasury secretary tim geithner. Really, he did. In his new book appropriately titled stress test, geithner recounts the financial crisis and the white houses response to it. Geithner also writes about the anxiety caused over one Major Administration decision. Whether or not president obama should appoint Elizabeth Warren to head the Consumer Protection finance bureau. Though the bureau was her brainchild, everyone in the room knew she had no chance of being confirmed. So president obama ultimately chose to do this in 2010 secretary geithner and i both agree that elizabeth is the best person to stand this agency up. She was the architect behind the idea for a consumer watchdog. So it only makes sense that she should be the architect working with secretary of the treasury geithner in standing up the agency. Did you hear what the president said . Instead of nominating the agenc
