in yesterday s news conference mr. obama also appeared to blame the police, saying their actions raise very troubling questions. even pointed a finger at congress at stalling of his economic agenda and his proposed legal changes for non-violent drug offenses basically saying that republicans are the ones fueling these problems in the urban areas. here is reaction from karl rove, former advisor to president bush. the president has not asked for massive investments in urban communities. he has been there for six years. the first two years he had cart blanche. he had 60 in the senate, 248 or 249 in the house. if he want ad massive invest in the central cities he could have done it. but, look at his budget since then? no big massive investment. yesterday in his moment of national tragedy he reaches out for an unnecessary cheap little partisan slap at republicans in congress. i want to go to you on this, harris. yesterday i mentioned there was some blame pointing in president s remarks.
come out quite clearly and said that these two attacks that rocked the moscow metro system in the early hours of the morning local time here in moscow were carried out by suicide bombers, female suicide bombers, said to be from the north region. the finger of blame pointing pretty squarely at that region and the casualty figures are now 35 people confirmed dead and about 40 injured. some of them very seriously indeed, john. mathu as we saw in the london bombings back in 2005, there were several plots that were triggered to sort of take place over a period of time. are they concerned there could be other bombers out there still at large this morning? reporter: yeah, that s certainly a concern. just because there s been two suicide bombers detonate their explosives today this morning, it doesn t mean there aren t going to be more suicide bombers this evening in the rush hour
