boxing superstar manny pacquiao loose to timothy bradley but no one of the three judges seems to know why. >> i have never been ashamed much to be associated with the sport of boxing as i am tonight. these people don't know how to score. >> sports fans screaming for justice. is there any truth to accusations of game tampering? and gaffes aplenty. obama, ramny, we're asking this morning what tees the shelf life of a gaffe? newsroom begins right now. good morning to you. i'm carol costello. good morning. a key member of possible's economic team is facing felony hit and run-charges this morning, and the details make this story even more odd. witnesses say commerce secretary john bryson hit a parked car, struck it again as he pulled away, app then hit a second car minutes later a few miles down the road. he was found passed out behind the wheel, but police say alcohol or drugs do not appear to be to blame. brianna keilar is at the white house. any comment? >> reporter: well, the white house is not commenting. they're directing us toward the comes more department which just is saying simply, carol, that secretary bryson was involved in traffic accident over the weekend in los angeles, he was taken to the hospital for examination, and has been released. he sustained no injuries and the investigation is ongoing. but this is john bryson. he is the commerce secretary, but as far as president obama's cabinet goes, he's a pretty low profile member of it. it's possible you never heard his name or didn't know who the commerce secretary was but the circumstances involving the series of accidents pretty bizarre. it happened saturday around 5:00 p.m. in the lamt area. the first accident in san ga gabrielgab gabri gabriel. he was in car, a lexus, and he hit a car that was stopped waiting for a train to pass. he hit a buick that had three men inside of it and actually got out, spoke to the men, but then he got back in his car, left, hitting the car again, according to the sheriff's department and driving off. those men got on the phone with san gabrielriel police, they followed bryson and this time the police, the sheriff's department, encountered bryson was in rosmy, california, the city next to san gabriel and he was unconscious and his car had apparently hit another car, a honda accord with a couple in it. no major injuries here. some of the folks were treated for minor injuries but it appears overall everyone is okay. but the circumstances are certainly very questionable and right now all we're hearing from the sheriff's department is that no drugs or chicago appear to be related preliminarily, but we're still awaiting the results of a blood alcohol test, carol. >> he's been taken to the hospital. has he been discharged? >> he was taken to the hospital. he has been leased. >> prea naki lore. i'm sure you'll stay on this story throughout the day. brianna keilar, live from the white house this morning. >> the former president of egypt hosni mubarak is in a full coma in a prison in cairo. just last week he was sentenced to life in prison for the illing can of pro-democracy demonstrators during last year's arab spring uprising. mubarak is 84 years old. his wife and sons were given permission to be at his bedside ja hundreds of coloradans are waiting in shelters praying that a runaway wildfire spares their homes. the fire has burned 20,000 acres west of ft. collins since saturday. the biggest challenge for firefighters, the fire is moving in more than one direction. the biggest fear for homeowners, what will be left. >> i can't imagine that my house is there right now, to be honest with you. i can't imagine that it is for how close the fire was and now i'm not going to have a home and i have no place to go. >> how erratic has this wildfire been? dozens had to evacuate one shelter when heavy smoke moved in. why is this fire going in all directions? >> let me lay the groundwork. we're talk 20g inches of rain right on the gulf coast. it's the an ticktithesis that's laying it. we're in an extreme drought, especially in northern colorado where we've seen this. the ground is parched, it is dry. atmospherically it's all come together. temperatures have been incredibly warm and, of course, the winds have been so high, gusting 40 miles an hour. actually yesterday they're trying to kill this fire by aircraft as well and they had to ground the planes because of the strong gusts. so it's been very windy. the good news weather-wising we're going to see a change in that. we're going to watch. the cold front has dropped south. that's good news. out of the 90s. into the 70s. also the strong winds we've seen in this area of colorado has come down as well and the dew points that have been very high, they're going to come down and will be in the teens. what we're going to see weather-wise kind of the perfect scenario for these fires. what we've also seen, this fire go from 2 to 20,000 acres since saturday alone. the gusts have been high. those are coming down. again, temperatures are coming down as well. and it's also, carro carol, a p populated area. it's not like this is in the middle of nowhere. weather-wise it will certainly get better in the next couple of days. >> alexandra steele. >> this morning robin roberts says she has a rare blood disorder as a result of her battle with breast cancer five years ago. >> as many of you know, five years ago i beat breast cancer and i've always been a fighter and you, your love, your support, your prayers helped me win that fight and that's something i will never, ever forget. now, sometimes treatment for cancer can lead to other serious medical issues, and that's what i'm facing right now. it is something that is called mds, myeloplastic syndrome, if you're going what? i'm doing the same thing. it is rare blood disorder that affects the bone marrow. and dr. richard besser has been holding my hand and he'll have a lot more information about mds on my website. the reason i'm sharing this with everybody now is because later today i begin what's known as pretreatment. i'm going to have -- it's a pic line in my arm and i didn't want you to be concerned if you saw a bandage tomorrow. it's going to be there to draw blood that has to be monitored regularly and also to administer drugs later today and for the week and for a period of time, and it's all to prepare me for a bone marrow transplant. >> roberts says as she begins pretreatment today she'll continue to host ""good morning america."" our best to her. a well known pastor of a sprawling megachurch said police got it wrong. hoe did not punch or choke his teenaged daughter. kreflo did not punch his daughter. he said the argument with his 15-year-old was not physical. >> the truth is she was not choked. she was not punched. there were not any scratches on her neck. but the only thing oven her neck was a prior skin abrasion from eczema. anything else is an exaggeration and sensationalism. >> george is with us now. police have a very different version. >> well, carol, let's talk about that police report. the investigate eor that day to statements from three people, the young victim, her older sister and from pastor dollar who in the report states his daughter became aggressive and he tried to restrain her. both teenagers described a very aggressive attack. but as you hear here, pastor dollar said all is not as it appears to be. his congregation stands by him for the most part. take a listen. >> he's the best pastor in the world. he teaches with great simplicity and understanding. he's great father and husband. >> he's great man, him and my husband. >> i have a 15-year-old daughter myself. if she needs discipline, that's what she gets. thank you. >> please and no. come on in and join us. >> it talks about the pastor allegedly choking the young girl, and also using his shoe to hit her. but, again, you hear from many members who say was this discipline taken too far? perhaps. a reason to demonize the pastor, many of these members say no. >> i was asking you while we were listening to that. the daughter, the 15-year-old, called the police, right? >> that's the thing. this investigator came to the home, took those statements directly from the two teenaged girls. so at this point, we're comparing what the police report says to what pastor dollar says. >> so the investigation continues. what might happen to him if -- police have already charged him, right? what happens now? >> obviously this process will continues go through the court system. the pastor obviously standing up for what he says happened they. keep in mind, this pastor, he's known for his prosperity theology, saying the better the christian you are, the more wealth you should get, the more wealth you should have. pastor dollar himself, he's been criticized for his wealth, assets, millions of dollars in assets. a lot of people watching what happens to him in this case, his membership supporting him. >> thank you so much. some people forget to pay a bar tab when they leave a restaurant. that's not uncommon. but acourting to the daily mail, british prime minister has forgotten his 8-year-old daughter. it's onto monday. let's bring in zain verjee. she's in london. what's up with this? >> just imagine if president and michelle obama left sasha and malia down at the local restaurant over the weekend? that's pretty much what happened with daeshd and samantha cameron. they left 8-year-old nancy down at the pub. they were eating earlier in the day actually with another family and there was a big mix-up, carol, on which car she was going go back in. so when they were halfway hope, oops, they realized we don't have nancy. it turns out that nancy had gone to the bathroom and everyone had taken off. now downing stream issued a whole statement over this. here's what they said, carol. they said the prime minister and samantha were distraught when they realized nancy wasn't with them. thankfully when they phoned the pub she was there safe and well. the prime minister went down to get her straight away. now, that happened a couple of months ago, but you know what? a lot of critics are jumping on this and saying the british prime minister likes to cl chil too much and this is happens when he's addressing on family problems. >> the story is politically motivated, although he did really leave his 8-year-old daughter in the bar oop. >> the timing is really interesting. the commission is looking into the phone-hacking scandal but they're focusing between the press and the politicians in this country. david cameron is supported to testify in front of the leverson commission later this week. it was the son that actually disclosed the story. one analyst said it could be a shot across the bow, be careful what you say. a question for you. would you pay $90,000 for a pair of sneakers?

david mccullough, a wellesley high school english teacher may go down as the only authority speaker who may speak honestly to kids. it's a reality check. kids, you're not special. >> yes, you've been commented upon, doted, bubble wrapped, but do not get the idea you're special because you're not. >> mccullough said if everyone is special, no one is. if everyone gets trophies, trophies are meaningless. we love the accoladed more than the achievement. >> no longer is it how you play the game or whether you win or lose or learn or grow or enjoy yourself doing it. now it's so what does this get me. >> although mccullough has his critics, many people, even the schiel students are applauding him. on wellesley school websites there are comments like, quote, i love this expenditurspeech, i. what's wrong with that? i graduated in 1976. this was a fantastic message and in 20 years they'll understand it. mccullough's speech hit a nerve. nearly half a million hits on youtube. the school's website had to cut off comments to prevent it from crashing. maybe it's the perfect message to send kids goichlk out in the harsh world. hey, not only are you not special, they may not even hire you. but mccullough said his speech wasn't meant to be a downer. the sweetest joy in life is recognizing that you're not special because everyone is. the talkback today, why does the "you're not special" speech resonate. >> i'll read your comments later this hour. jc penney's effort to get hippy shoppers. ♪ ♪ lord, you got no reason ♪ you got no right ♪ ♪ i find myself at the wrong place ♪ [ male announcer ] the ram 1500 express. ♪ it says a lot about you. ♪ in a deep, hemi-rumble sort of way. guts. glory. ram. frumpy and proud. that's what some jc penney loyalists are saying about the store's attempt to grab a hippy younger shopper. don't forget about your core, they say. we like those mom jeans. >> are you looking for the perfect gift for mom this mother's day? introducing mom jeans exclusively at jc penney. >> okay. i love that skit. okay. so maybe "saturday night live" is skpamg rating a bit but a conservative look is what jc penney diehards say they're after. not a hipper kind of thing that jc penney is going for. alison kosik is at the stock exchange. still laughing. >> jc penney get as bad rap, doesn't it? >> it sunk a lot of money selling itself as a younger hipper brand but it's not really working for its core customers. >> but keep in mind, carol, that this sort of turnaround strategy is still in works. what jc penney has done is brought in a new ceo, ron johnson. this is the guy who basically made the apple store what it looked like, and, sure, the turnaround right now, it ain't perfect, but they're working on it. as you know with everything there are a lot of kinks. yes, they're bringing in all of these young clothes for a hipper crowd and then you see these other folks coming in saying, hey, wait a minute, we're okay with the frurmpy look and ron johnson is saying, okay, we're going to mix it and they're going to do away with the special pricing. keep in mind it hasn't been a smooth transition. johnson has only been in place since january. you look at how sales have done the first three months of this year compared to the first three months of last year. they're down 19%. what's happened is tried and true shoppers are confusing about the pricing. wall street and jc penney are watching to see if this works in tend. >> i notice you're down on the floor. i know the opening bell just rake a few minutes ago. how are the markets fairing today? >> markets are higher. the nasdaq is up 14. look. the markets are coming off its best day, friday, actually, best day of the year. china came in with better than expected day tachl spain got a bailout for its banking smg so the stocks are rallying on all that good news. we'll see if it lasts throughout the day. carol? >> alison kosik live from the floor of the new york stock exchange. they've whipped up a web ad. >> the private sector is doing fine. the private sector's doing fine. >> in case you don't remember the mccain moment came when john mccain ran for president in 2008 and he declared -- >> you know that there's been tremendous turmoil in our financial markets and wall street, and it is -- it's -- people are frightened by these events. our economy, i think, still, the fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are very, very difficult times. >> it was all downhill from there, but gaffes happen to everyone who talks a lot. the question we're asking this morning, does any of it matter? what's the shelf life of gaffe anyway? to discuss that, cnn's will cain and lz grammar. good morning. is this obama's mccain moment? will? >> i think one of the biggest things was if you played that clip of john mccain, in the upper right-hand corner it said september 15th. it was a month and half before the election. that's key. i think the shelf life is small. i don't think it's that small. that being said, president obama made gaffe and he made it for the number one voters. that is on the economy. i do think it will last longer than mitt romney's etch a sketch moment. this one is expected to have a little bit longer shelf life because it's on the number one issue to voters. >> lz, i want to pose this to you. he told politico this. quote, as direct ore f the economic policy of the campaign, i took great pains to make sure the president was not predicting or worse advocating doom for the u.s. economy. when running for president, one should act like someone who should be president. should president obama use the same sorts of line? >> no, i don't think he should. i don't think he needs to. will is right. this won't last long. it is a number one topic, but i think there are so many gaffes made by both of these gentlemen that it would be replaced by something else they would have said or done. in the same week he made his gaffe, mitt romney said we don't need more teachers, cops, or firefighters. so i'm sure somebody is putting together an ad that says that as well. we're in a 24-hour news cycle. twitter, facebook, social media. there will be more gaffes to replace what president obama said last week. >> no doubt. i wish we could continue this conversation. but we have breaking news from the white house. brianna keilar has a little more information about why the accident may have happened. brianna, take it away. >> reporter: well, carol, we're being told by a spokesman for the commerce department that commerce secretary bryson had a seizure. that's why he ran into a car and actually spoke to the folks inside of the car that he'd run into and then after talking to them, got back in his car and took off, hitting that car again, then, according to the sheriff's department, apparently getting in another accident just a few minutes later. the sheriff's department, the l.a. shft's department found secretary bryson in his vehicle alone and unconscious. now, according to the commerce department, a spokeswoman, jennifer friedman, he suffered a seizure. he was held in the hospital overnig overnight. he was released from the hospital. wh what's new is he's now back in washington and the department says the investigation is ongoing. we're told the secretary was on personal time and he did not have security detail. still some details certainly to work out. but it appears that this went according to the commerce department that the secretary did suv ear seedure and that's what they're pointing to a is cause of these series of car accidents. >> it's a little confusing because he suffers the seizure. he was in what, three traffic accidents when you add them all up. he was briefly in the hospital. now he's back in washington at work? does anyone know what caused the seizure? >> caller >> reporter: no. and weapon don't know his history. although he's back in washington, we're told he doesn't have any public events on his schedule. so we don't know necessarily whether he's back at work, but he was treated for this and according to a commerce department official he received medication for the seizure, but at this point that's really all we know and we just got this in a few minutes ago and we're of course going to see if there's any more details on this. >> we're going to have top stories after a quick break. you see us bank on busier highways. on once empty fields. everyday you see all the ways all of us at us bank are helping grow our economy. lending more so companies and communities can expand, grow stronger and get back to work. everyday you see all of us serving you, around the country, around the corner. us bank.

carol costello. just ahead in the "newsroom," breaking news on a developing story we've been following. a key member of president obama's team caused three accidents while driving this weekend. now we know what may have caused those crashes. thousands of acres burned, thousands forced out of their home. wreaking havoc on parts of the state and the problems could get worse today. a stunning blow. manny pacquiao loses to timothy bad bradley? no one except the three judges seems to know why. >> i have never been ashamed so often as to be associated with the sport of boxing as i am tonight. these people don't know how to score. >> sports fans are screaming for justice. we begin with sad news to pass along about a colleague of ours in the broadcast industry. earlier this morning, robin roberts of "good morning america" reveals she have a rare blood disorder, a result of her battle with breast carnes five years ago. >> as many of you know, five years ago, i beat breast cancer, and i've always been a fighter. and you, your love, your support, your prayers helped me win that fight, and that's something i will never, ever forget. now, sometimes treatment for cancer can lead to other serious medical issues, and that's what i'm facing right now. it is something that is called mds, myloplastic syndrome. if you're looking up doing, what jie was doing the same thing. it is a rare blood disorder that affects the bone marrow and, the doctor has been holding my hand through this and we'll have a lot more information about mds on our website. and the reason i am sharing this with everybody now is because later today i begin what's known at pre-treatment. i'm going to have -- it's a pic line in my arm, and i didn't want you to be concerned if you saw a bandage tomorrow, and it's going to be there to draw blood that has to be monitored regularly and also to administer drugs later today and for the week and for a period of time, and it's all to prepare me for a bone marrow transplant. >> and joins us by phone, the deputy chief medical omp at the american cancer society. thanks for joining us. >> good morning. >> i know you can't speak specifically about robin roberts condition, but tell us about this blood disorder. is it sort of like pre-leukemia? >> it used to be called pre-leukemia, and it's not common. it is rare. and there are many different forms. there are some -- many old -- not many, but older folks can get this which happens as a function of age for reasons we don't really understand, but in ms. roberts' situation, a very special person to all of us, so we all feel like we know her, know her well and are in the battle together, in her situation, it is most likely the result -- she said, of the chemotherapy received five years ago. this will be used for what we call breast cancer that is preventive therapy, primary treatment of breast cancer to prevent the breast cancer from coming back. that treatment attacks the bone marrow. attacks the blood cells of the bone marrow and sometimes there is scarring or long-term effects that happen, and we end up with mds, the syndrome, and in the situation where we are today with ms. roberts. >> robin said that she is fit. she's young, and this may help her beat this thing. what are her chances? >> well, i think it's -- i don't want to put a number on her chances. the reality is that she is young. she is in otherwise good health. she is very fortunate to have a sibling a sister, i believe, who's a match donor. that puts her in a much better situation. but we -- we cannot dismiss the fact that bone marrow transplant is a serious process. it has side effects. and it will impact her life, and our hope is that she comes through it with all the health and vigor and positivity we all see in her every day. >> well, the thing is, she's going to be -- this will all play out on television, so to speak. she mention pd you might see a band-aid on her arm. what do you hope people will take away from her fight with blood disorder? >> well i think number one that all of us, our prayers go out to her and her family at this time. the message for everyone is that we have made substantial progress in treating breast cancer. ms. roberts is an example of that. on the other hand, she's also an example of the serious side effects that come along with that treatment. about 1% of the women who get therapy for breast cancer come down with this condition, and the treatment, the only treatment is a bone marrow transplant. she is going to go through, as i mentioned, going to go through serious treatments over the next several months. it will take time, and with good medical care and prayers and support, she will come through this. the other message i think is critically important, she mentioned this herself. she is african-american. she's fortunate that she has a matched sibling a donor, who has the exact cell type schahe has,d that's a good thing, and she herself mentioned and it's important to reinforce, in the african-american community, it's sometimes difficult to find boners, and all of us would hope that people who are listening take her wish seriously that members of the community consider registering to become bone marrow -- donors for transplant purposes. it's a serious issue we have in this country. as i said, she's fortunate but reached out with that message and i think that's an important message for us to reinforce during these conversations. >> doctor, thank you for being with us and helping us to understand. we appreciate it. from the american cancer society. >> thank you. robin roberts also released a statement on abc.com. i received my mds diagnosis on the very day that "good morning america" finally beat the "today" show for the first time in 16 years. talks about your highs and lows. end quote. also learning more about a bizarre story unfolding in southern california. a key member of president obama's economic team is facing felony hit-and-run charges this morning. we've learned commerce secretary john bryson had a seizure while driving in los angeles on saturday. witnesses say he hit a parked car, and then struck it again as he pulled away. then he hit a second car minutes later a few mimes down the road, was found passed out behind the we'll. brianna keilar live at the white house with more information. hi, brianna. >> reporter: hi there, carol. i should say, we don't necessarily know that this seizure happened while secretary bryson was driving, because the statement from the director of public affairs, jennifer friedman for the commerce department says that he was involved in a traffic accident in los angeles over the weekend, and it says he suffered a seizure. he was taken to the hospital for examination and remained overnight for observation. so it seems like maybe you could infer that he was driving while that seizure happened. actually, we're inquiring to figure out exactly the times of the seizure vis-a-vis the accident. secretary bryson was cited while in the hospital for felony hit-and-run charges. three bizarre accidents involving two cars besides his. in the l.a. area in san gabriel. according to the l.a. sheriff's department press release early this morning, he hit a car stopped at a railroad crossing waiting for a train to pass. got out, talked to the three guys inside of the car, and after talking to them, left. again hitting their car as he left, and then minutes later, according to the sheriff's department they found him after what appeared to be another accident involving a second car and found him alone and unconscious in his vehicle. but, again, the commerce department saying he did suffer a seizure and we're trying to piece all of these pieces together, carol, but we understand that the white house was notified last night. according to an administration official. >> brianna keilar reporting live from the white house. hundreds of people in northern colorado are waiting in shelters this morning praying that a runaway fire spares their home. so far 20,000 oacres west of fot carson burned this saturday. 18 structures damaged or destroyed so far. that number is excruciate are for evacuees. >> i can't imagine. first a fire, and not we're not going to have a home, and i have no place to go. >> ah. alexandra steel following the fire. the strange thing about the fire, it's jumping in every direction. >> just lay the groundwork. talking about what's happening in the southeast with 20 inches of rain. the antithesis of that scenario in the inner mountain west, parched, dry. incredible drought. d-3, one level of the highest. it is extreme. the ground is dry, it is parched. temperatures have been well above average, and, of course what we're seeing now, though, with temperatures coming down from this move through, you can see on the graphic, cold fronts move through, temperatures are down, but instead of the 90s we're in the 80s. what we've seen, carol mentioned the erratic nature. we've seen it grow 20,000 to 30,000 acres from saturday alone and the wind gusts exacerbating the flames not allowing the flights carrying water to quell this fire. they are being grounded. so that's been a big problem. again, weatherwise, things are improving, because the cold front has passed, the temperature is dropping. humidity is up ever so slightly but the strong winds that really have been -- you can see, carol, why this looks so orange. this cloud of dust is breaking up and moving into the atmosphere and kind of moving over the sun, creating this orange-like cast. and even the smell of smoke. now, this fire's 15 miles west of fort collins. the smell of smoke is making its way into denver and even nebraska. permeating the west coast and really no fire we've seen like this in quite some time. weatherwise no rain, a few isolated storm, but temperatures are coming down. >> at least that's a bit of bright news. alexandra, thank you. in florida, as alexandra mentioned, rain. that's the problem there, with the weekend scenarios of the florida panhandle and coastal alabama, as much as 22 inches of rain. one florida county is expecting damages to go beyond $20 million. fight fans, they just can't believe it thinking manny pacquiao was robbed. talk about that controversial split decision after a break. instead i got

devd mccullagh, a high school teacher may go down as the only figure authority to speak honestly to the students today. kids, you're not exceptional. not even special. >> yes, you've been pampered, koss itted, doted upon, helmeted, bubble wrapped, but do not get the idea you're anything special. because you're not. >> he said if everyone is special no one is. if everyone gets trophies, trophies are meaneringless. we love accolades more than achievement. >> no longer is it how you play the game, no longer is it even whether you win or lose or learn or grow or enjoy yourself doing it, now it's, so what does this get me? >> although mccullagh has critics, high school students applaud him. on the student website comments like "i love this speech having just graduated myself, it's coming from a genuine place. whapts wrong with that"? or this one, i graduated in 1976. this was a fantastic message. in 20 years they will understand it. mccullough's speech clearly hit a nerve. half a million hits on youtube. maybe it's the perfect message to send kids going out into a harsh world. hey, not only are you not special, they may not even hire you, but mccullough says his speech wasn't meant to be a buzz kill. the sweetest joy of life is recognizing you're not special, because everyone is. so the "talk back" question today, why does the "you are not special" speech resonate? facebook.com/carolcnn. i'll read your comments later this hour. opening statements for penn state's former football coach jerry sandusky under way. sandusky faces 52 counts of sexual misconduct involving young boys. until today the young victims only identified by a number. it's a matter of time until they're identified by name. as a general rule, cnn will not identify alleged victims of sexual assault. bring in susan candiotti live outside the courthouse. susan, you just came back from inside the courtroom. what did you hear? >> reporter: hi, carol. well what we heard was after the judge initially gave about 20 minutes of instructions to the jury, swore them in and told them at one point "you are the conscience of the community" because they were all picked from centre county. where jerry sandusky lives. it was then the moment everyone had been waiting for. the opening statements, beginning about 45 minutes ago, with the prosecutor, one of the lead prosecutors in this case. he spoke and is still speaking at this time. unfortunately, the sound system is not adequate. very difficult to hear him, unless you might be sitting in the front row. certainly the jurors can hear him. but here is what we did hear him say. the prosecutor at one point calling jerry sandusky a "serial predator" and he told the jurors that they would be hearing evidence during the course of the trial of alleged abuse that took place not only in some cases days, weeks, months, he said, but in some cases even years. and he also said that in this case, second mile, he said, is not on trial. that's the charity that jerry sandusky founded and from which some of these victims came. instead he said jerry sandusky is the one on trial here, and then a very compelling moment. you talked about names. for the first time, we heard the first names of eight of the ten victims in this case, and prosecutors showed a photograph of each of them when they were little boys. again, he identified them by first name only. we will not share those names with you, because of our policy of not identifying alleged sexual abuse victims. carol?

>> great today. first question, it's still all the buzz. republicans call it obama's mccain moment, and they've whipped up a web ad. >> the appreciate sector is doing fine. where we're seeing weaknesses in our economy have to do with state and local government. >> hmm, there you have it. in case you don't remember when mccain ran for president in 2008, he declared, "the fundamentals of our economy are strong," and was kind of all downhill from there. so question, is this obama's mccain moment? will? >> well, i think it could be. i think mccain's moment came within the context of a month and a half of election making it possible to be mccain's moment. this one's five months out. still, the number one issue voters are concerned about, the economy. and bothers me from add ytological standpoint, seems barack obama thinks you can divide how the private secretary sir doing from the economy. they are one in the same. if the private secretary sir doing well the economy will do well. the private sector not doll well, the economy will not do well. so i think he needs to understand the private sector is the engine of jobs and growth. >> i got that, i think. maria,? >> no, not mccain's moment, carol, and will pointed out one reason why. not a month out from the election. it's early june. not a lot of people are paying attention. more importantly, it's because as unartfully as he said it, he was not saying that the economy was doing fine, which is what mccain was saying. i think anybody who tries to pin that on him is going to have a hard time because it doesn't have credibility. the president has always been the first to say we need to do a lot more for job creation. we need to do a lot more to make sure that our jobs are growing and our growth is expansive. so -- most people think that he's the one who gets what middle-class workers are going through, anyway. >> question number two. not to it be outdone, the obama camp fired back with its own web ad intimating mr. romney doesn't value teachers and firefighters. >> he says we need more firemen and policemen more teachers. did he not get the message in wisconsin? the american people did. it's time for us to cut back on government and help the american people! >> so did mr. romney make a boo-boo? i couldn't find a more clever way to say it. maria? >> well, it certainly wasn't a good statement for him to make, but, again, will it stick? it's five months out. i think what it does do is underscore what the narrative of what a lot of people already believe about mitt romney. that he doesn't care about middle class. guess what? firefighters, cuts. teachers, the people who protect our communities who keep us safe, who invest in the education of our children are important pieces of the economy. and for mitt romney to basically say that they're not -- they don't matter, he doesn't care about them is not something that is very presidential for somebody to say. >> will? >> yeah. i don't think that's what he said. i think that what he's fighting back against is two things. firemen, police and teachers are the middle class. being one in the same. has is what you're talking about when you're talking about firemen, policemen and teachers. are you talking about the middle class? maybe a segment of them. do you solve the economy hiring more of those people we have an emotional connection to? it's a political football when we mention it. romney is saying, barack obama seemed to agree on, barack obama thinks by hiring more public servants we pick up the economy. mitt romney is suggesting that's not the solution to our economic woes. >> on to our buzzer-beater. 20 seconds each. the obama girl. ♪ >> oh. who could forget? well, she's not so hot on any anymore, or not saying. this is what she said "at this point i'm keeping that to myself. if i'm not making videos i'm not sure it's anyone's business on who i'm voting for this time around." so -- i got that part. the question, why do we care, maria? >> carol, this is going to it be probably the shortest answer that you'll hear from me on any of these questions. it's very simple. we don't. >> i care! i care. >> nobody cares. >> i'm going to tell you why. i would love to hear maria's answer to this. here's what i'm curious about when i see this statement. where is obama girl's criticism or disappointment from barack obama coming from? from a left perspective, far liberal perspective? does she feel he didn't live up to the billing she'd hoped he fulfill or from a independent centrist position? doesn't like the way he ended up governing? in all honesty, no partisanship, you wonder, where does the disappointment lie? on both ends of that spectrum? >> hmm. wish we had time to go on. >> i'm going to stay with we don't care. >> will and maria, thanks. bieber fever. the hottest ticket in town. even when you're in mexico. fans are camping -- i mean camped out for a free concert from the biebs. yoo-hoo. hello. it's water from the drinking fountain at the mall.
