than two dozen planes headed for london in the hope they d be able to land there. that effort may pay off with british airspace now set to reopen. but we haven t seen the last of that massive ash cloud spewing from a volcano in iceland. we want to go to our meteorologist, chad myers, at the cnn weather center in atlanta. chad, so things could get worse before they get better, or are they getting better? well, they re getting better than the first eruption that went up 40,000 feet. now, all of these eruptions are only about 18,000 feet. what s the difference? well, if you get it up to 45,000 feet, then you re in the jet area where the jets actually fly. if you get it in the, let s say, the 15,000 feet area, you can fly over that ash cloud. so, we ll have to keep watching. where s the ash now? well, it s in the right side zone. it s even all the way to maine. maine you should wake up tomorrow and see an amazing sunrise. that s what it s going to do for basically the u.s. and a lot of e
choices, and that there will about, in fact, maybe a pick by early may, that the president wants to reach out to republicans. but we have these new cnn opinion research polls that show 6 in 10 americans think obama will pick a liberal but only 25% think he should pick a liberal. who and what is he going to pick, paul? he s going to pick a liberal. come on. at least certainly a democrat, somebody in the mainstream of the progressive part of government. that s as it should be. elections have consequences. 53% of it, we the people, voted for barack obama to make him our president. i think the model frankly is when ed rollins is working for reagan or george w. bush, these presidents were conservative. they nominated the most qualified and most conservative people they could find. so you have scalia, you have chief justice roberts, people with impeccable credentials who i think are way outside the mainstream because they re conservative. that s what barack obama has to do, that s what he
of business because of the cost of providing care to the women who bear five or six children as quickly as they can. it is horrendous. illegals have taken advantage of america, and it must stop now. very emotional issue. if you want to read more about it, you can go to my blog, cnn.com/caffertyfile miss crowley? i think you proved my theory, everybody s theory, probably, that people say things in an e-mail that they probably wouldn t say to you sitting on tv. well, you know, i don t know. they they talk to me in what i d like to think are pretty honest tones on both sides on most of the issues, but this particular issue has a lot of people fed up, for won t of a better phrase. the government won t address it and there are communities that have been destroyed economically and socially by the influx of people who are shouldn t be here. now they are mad at me for talking to you, jack, so i have to go. if you ll have me.
fear of getting pulled over by the police. imagine both groups are driving on the same roads. that system would inevitably cause serious collisions and drivers following the rules of the game would inevitably get hit by drivers who weren t. a system like that makes no sense. we would never allow it on the roads, so why do we allow it in our economy? our financial system allowed risks to move towards areas where regulations were most lenient. and as you would expect, when there s a lot of money to be made by avoiding regulations, there s going to be a lot of activity and risk moving to where the constraints are weak. let s bring in cnn chief business correspondent, ali velshi, i mean, that s quite the metaphor. i m not sure i know whether lehman is an example of someone we should have bailed out and that s the lesson or whether it s an example of why we should have reform. and there are two other tricky things there. one is tim geithner is not
about the kind of candidates that he should consider. our new cnn opinion research corporation poll shows 25% of those surveyed want the president to nominate a liberal justice. 37% favor a moderate, 36%, you see there, they want him to pick a conservative. i don t think that s going to happen as far as picking a conservative. i think we should take odds on that. we d probably both bet the same thing. it wouldn t be a worthy bet. the question is whether a moderate or a liberal. in there there s a little wiggle room. i ll go on the liberal side of moderate, but we ll see. president obama is set to meet with republican leaders to discuss the upcoming supreme court vacancy. will he take their advice? or has he already made up his mind? and you likely get a lot of it in the food you eat. it s salt. what do you think?
