The nations conscience. As you can see on your screen a new York City Police officer is sucker punched by a man protesting the eric garner grand jury decision. Here now, president obama on Black Entertainment Television earlier this week, calling for more demonstrations. A countrys conscience sometimes has to be triggered by some inconvenience, because i think a lot of people who saw the eric garner video are troubled. Even if they havent had that same experience themselves. The value of peaceful protests, activism, organizing, is it reminds the society this is not yet done. Lou president obama, however, offering a much different view when addressing the largely Latino Univision audience last night. I think the criminal Justice System is improved. I think that if you talk to younger people, your daughter, my daughters, their attitudes absolutely are better when it comes to race. You know, the folks who say theres not a lot of improvement, i dont think were living in the 50s. Lou the Am

Simpsons exwife and her friend. This morning the evidence the jury never heard, and three key players from that trial speak out exclusively. Ron goldmans father and sister, and simpson house guest kato kaelin. And betting on controversy . The message behind this giant jesus hot air balloon tied to the world cup. Its drawing criticism around the world today, wednesday, june 11th, 2014. From nbc news, this is today, with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning. Welcome to today on a wednesday morning. A busy news day. Weve got a lot to get to. But boy, that anniversary, 20th anniversary tomorrow of the killing of Nicole Brown Simpson and ron goldman. A lot of people are going to stop and think where they were when they heard that news. We have three people in our green room who will never forget that moment. Weve got kato kaelin, kim and fred goldman, the sister and father of victim ron goldman. Well look back with them, including, as y
Town, also a metaphor. Its called northampton, massachusetts. Its as wellkept as springfield is framed. Northampton doesnt have manufacturing. They have Something Better than that. They have a college called smith. Smith is an allfemale liberal arts student. Used to be impressive. Its not now. Thats not the point. The point is that smith is rich.

President obama gets whacked in the midterm and comes out pretending people love policys but they forgot to vote and thats why he will continue to hear the nonvoters whisper Sweet Nothings his his ear. And then the republicans standing up. The republicans promised to end the constitution power grab and bring adult leadership and provide the check and balance function. But what have the republicans done instead . Cobbled together a 1 trillion spending bill that makes the National Christmas tree look like Charlie Brown christmas. And pushed on the members desk before they could have read the 1600 page spenda palosa. It was a bill that liberals and conservatives hated. Elizabeth warren and nancy pelosi didnt like it because it didnt crush the banks. That would not create jobs. And conservatives hated it because it was packed with more spendingical rows than the triple Bacon Cheeseburger from hardys. We were told that it was the best we could hope for. Maybe it was. Why di
