zimmermans brother tells cnn that the arrest was bittersweet. >> we are relieved that hes safe. that is, you know -- its the most bittersweet news to hear in your life that your brother is being charged with a murder and to see him being taken into jail on live tv and to somehow have to think, well, at least theres something good in all of that, that he cant be attacked in all this, or he most likely cant be hurt, killed, injured in the way he has been on the run and underground in the...

The -- >> you know what? mitt romney disagrees with you. mitt romney came out today. what did he say? he said these numbers are proof that the obama economic policies are failing the american people. ben stein, what do you dues? >> i dont think thats true at all. i think mr. romney has to say that. i dont see a single thing besides taking that sneer of big business off his face that mr. obama could do differently. already running at a very high degree of stimulus, fiscal, high degree of stimulus...
