8:11 am
talking about the fact he wants to raise taxes on the middle class. since they're focusing on him does it mean they think he'll be the republican nominee? >> they won't say it as clearly and categorically as that but yes, they believe he's the most formidable candidate and formidable opponent, that is why they're directing all their ammunition at him and we'll have david axelrod talking about that. and you'll hear him very clearly single out what they consider the ways they're going to run against mitt romney and all they consider are his weaknesses. have to add also, talking about campaign finances, president obama has pulled in basically double the combined funding and finances that the other republican candidates have pulled in so far, that makes him a very formidable opponent as well. >> that's right. it seems like a very interesting show this morning. christiane, have to leave it there. thank you so much. be sure to join her on "this week" when her guests will include president obama's chief strategist david axelrod. >> let me do this --

8:19 am
design of the memorial. >> the first emotion i had when the first saw the monument, i began -- i had to fight back tears, tears of joy. >> reporter: there is also controversy. first over the selection of a chinese sculptor, some thought the sculptor should have been african american or at least american. now there is growing criticism over one of the quotations on the monument. the excerpt reads -- >> i was the drum major for justice, peace and righteousness. that's powerful. >> reporter: in his actual speech king condemned people who act like they are a drum major, the leader. he actually said, "if you want to say i was a drum major, say that i was a drum major for justice." maya angelou among others said the truncated quote lacking the word "if" makes king appear arrogant. but many that came here are not bothered over the clash of the inscription, they're here to pay homage to the man. and the national park service
8:20 am
and memorial foundation's executive director say they'll look into changing that drum major inscription. i would imagine that is changed some time in the future. i was listening to some inscriptions, the recordings, and you can get them online and so powerful to hear dr. king's voice as he says these things. amazing. >> family, president, so many famous faces and good weather this time. >> and good music. >> looking forward to that. coming up on "good morning america," risky rescue, the sick american woman stranded for weeks at the south pole could hold home. how she's surviving the extreme antarctic conditions and how the dangerous the mission to get her out is. new clues, police search an abandoned house near missing baby lisa's home. we'll tell you what they found and talk to dan abrams who is in kansas city to talk to lisa's parents. and running of the bulls, american style. where it's happening and how it's different than the world famous spectacle in spain.

8:41 am
national guard is becoming involved and as a result leading to more questions. >> we also heard that the police searched an abandoned house not too far away from the family home. what did they find? anything of significance there? >> reporter: it's interesting, it's a local resident that thought the search should have been searched, went in himself and found what appeared to be soiled diapers and baby wipes, eventually authorities came and checked it out. they are indicating that they don't think it's of particular significance because they think it's too old but it is just another mysterious issue in connection with this case. speaking of mystery, ron, i'm here at the house and remember, one of the great mysteries is that window. that's the window where they did a reenactment to see whether someone could have come into the house, how much noise would have been made, et cetera, and remember, the irwins have said that window was disturbed and that becomes one of the real

crucial questions here is could an intruder have come in that way. >> very quickly, almost two weeks since baby lisa disappeared. what can investigators do other than calling out the national guard and searching the area? >> reporter: time is their enemy at this point. every day that passes makes it that much more difficult, so it's the most important thing for them is to get as much information as they possibly can in these next few days. >> okay. dan abrams in kansas city, thank you, we look forward to your interview of the parents. you can see that tomorrow morning here on "gma." coming up, if you want to be chased by a 1500-pound bull, you don't have to leave the u.s. that story coming up next. ext. my whole body hurt. it was an ongoing, deep pain. i didn't understand it. i found out that connected to our muscles are nerves that send messages through the body. my doctor diagnosed it as fibromyalgia --
