now. mohamed morsi says egypt will not be hostile to the u.s. but not as accommodating as hose hosni mubarak was. what does the president need to say in terms of, you know he s speaking to a global audience at the u.n. general assembly. what does he need to say to your mind? you know, i think a little bit of honesty here. i think that to admit that there have been some difficulties, i mean, i agree with that statement, peace is hard and i think that the president should acknowledge that process has been difficult and that s why you ve seen some of the some of these things kind of emerge in the last few weeks with respect to libya and so forth. you can only kill osama bin laden so many times. and you saw this morning, david axelrod sort of pivoting back to that point well, got osama bin laden. okay. we got that. but now there s a broader question that sam touched on about what does stability in the middle east look like in this region when you look at all these bad actors which mi
arab spring last year, president obama addressed the united nations general assembly with a message of optimism. but this time around violence in the middle east is fueling a different feeling in the global community. how will the president handle it? we will look at the libya question and other concerns coming up next. i describe myself as a mother, a writer and a performer. i m also a survivor of ovarian and uterine cancers. i even wrote a play about that. my symptoms were a pain in my abdomen and periods that were heavier and longer than usual for me. if you have symptoms that last two weeks or longer, be brave, go to the doctor. ovarian and uterine cancers are gynecologic cancers. symptoms are not the same for everyone. i got sick.and then i got better.
questions. you re asking question number one have i been able to get every plan that would work, through a republican congress. right. that said it s number one priority was beating me as opposed to helping the american people. while the president didn t exactly have an answer to that question, both accepting responsibility and shifting blame to republicans, mitt romney did some dodging of his own on tax policy. when asked to name which tax deductions his tax proposal eliminates the governor punted. that s something congress and i will have to work out together. you re asking the american people to hire you as president of the united states. they d like to hear some specifics. well i can tell them specifically what my policy looks like. and the devil s in the details, though. what are we talking about? the mortgage deduction, the charitable deduction? the devil s in the details. the angel is in the policy which is creating more jobs. what? what does i listened to
notorious tax avens. we know why he s not releasing his tax returns. he will lose if he does. the american people will see he s laundering his money to avoid paying taxes on it. basic question, the swiss bank account he revealed for the first time on his 2010 tax returns the year after his swiss bank ubs was busted for evading tax evasion and the clients of that bank were offered a one-time amnesty deal if they came forward. so did he have that account in 2009? easy to tell if he gives us the 2009 account and he won t do that. this is the problem. it s almost like we ve gone to a presumption of guilt in some respects. i m not saying we re accusing him yet but we are. that s his problem because he has created this climate where there s so much secrecy surrounding it, that it would almost it almost seems silly he wouldn t be transparent about it. the 20-year summary is just enough to keep people frothing at the mouth for more
