And will be infectual at solving the problems. i dont think any amount of strong arming now is going to get this thing passed. obamas main problem is he surrounded himself with yes people from chicago just like jimmy carter did with the georgia crowd. in alaska writes, is there too much chicago in the white house? is the sky blue? that style of government doesnt belong in d.c. it doesnt even really belong in chicago. its 2010 after all. personally, im getting real leery and very weary of the hug...

I mean, during the campaign, the republicans did accuse him of that a number of times, of being the messiah and the one and believing in his own publicity. i dont know if thats -- im starting to believe it could be true, because if he thinks at this late date that he can get them in a room, its going to change, were going to put it on c-span, maybe some of that will change something, but, you know, its the job of party b to block the agenda of party a. what he has to do, i think, is do what roos...

Obama to shoulder the republicans into the corner the way he did in baltimore to say im the reasonable person. theyre children. if they dont look unreasonable, they me veil because he is the one who needs something to happen, something to change. and nothing happened, nothing changed. >> dana milbank, do journalists really know what to do with a lengthy seven-hour discussion? it seems to me could you blame the cable news networks for increasingly cutting away as this thing droned off? >> by my c...

This past week. they stand out. there are other problems with other cars certainly. but for some reason the problems with the toyota sudden acceleration exceed all others. for that reason we focused on them. theres no reason we wont focus on others. >> not enough has been done. until toyota actually says weve fixed the problem or well buy your cars back, this is going to continue. >> you dont see this story going away any time soon? >> not after this past week. >> fred francis, brian ross in new...

"new york times" did drop a bombshell this past week, completely unrelated story that ill describe in a second. it prompted patterson to say hes not going to stand form election as governor this fall. lets take a look at what he said. >> i have never abused my office, not now, not ever. i will admit that i was very disturbed that for three weeks unsubstantiated rumors, all of them dispelled in the end lined the front pages of a lot of newspapers and demanded a lot of coverage. >> hes right. but ...

Her. i still like her a lot. it just wasnt the right job for me. >> your genetic makeup is one of a journalist. jonathan allen, thank you for stopping by. coming up in the second half of "reliable sources" candy crowley joins us to break down the sound of sunday. toyota takes his story to capitol hill and larry king. are journalists careening out of control. abszs brian ross talks about his investigation. sneak preview. a history channel mini series on the kennedys wont air for another yea...

Done these dock queue dramas. >> i came from the commercial world, i made over 50 television and mini series. im intimately familiar with this form. i have never in my career seen anything like this where its character assassination, pretending to be a mini series. it has 12 to 20 sex scenes. if kennedy had time to do nothing else it seems. most importantly, howard, i dont care what your politics are. this is a below-the-belt trashing of a president of the united states, not on policy, but chara...

You can make parliamentary challenges to every part of the bill that youre trying to go to. these are just the changes that need to be made so that the house can go along with the senate bill. its those changes that will be subject to it. as far as i understand it, anything that can be challenged by the parliamentarian -- to the parliamentarian. hes the one who decides, i think the republicans can tie this up for another four years just in the challenges. now you have a democrat saying i know ho...

Perception, not reality. thats not a ringing vote of confidence. >> politico hiring me back was a ringing vote of confidence. i think what john is saying, you go beyond that quote, i think what he was saying is there might be a perception among some that i might have some bias. the reality is that hes known me as a good reporter and he believes ill be a good reporter in the future. >> could you overcompensate by being tougher on the democrats to show that youre not aligned with that party? >> it...
