today could not be more timely to have mr. john hofmeister be a mentor on issues pertaining to that region and this region. indeed, we often say it is a region with two kinds of oil -- today he will be focusing largely on the other kind of oil. it is not unrelated to the first kind. in the sense of what has been happening in recent months and the issues that people have as to what links there are too rising gasoline prices here or the impact on policies, positions, attitudes, and actions on this vital commodity and resources. john hofmeister has come to this position focusing as few presidents of major oil companies on human resources. if there is one aspect he has focused on, even though he deals with all of those involved in construction and design and infrastructure and efficiency, policy, education, and also the more pressing issues confronted by government about energy policies, security issues and usage. he comes with a background with a bachelor's and master's from kansas state university. he has served with three compa

on monday, less than 12 hours after president obama announced the death of osama bin laden, mr. obama's former ambassador to china john huntsman very quietly filed paperwork to create a political action committee for himself. that's so he'll be able to travel and raise money in the lead-up to formally announcing his own run for president. he took that step right after the bin laden news was announced. knowing full well that bin laden would eclipse all other news coverage of anything else for days. why would you want to run for president without anyone noticing you were running for president? i do not know. mr. huntsman is not alone. former pennsylvania republican senator rick santorum also waited until the bin laden news dropped to announce his fec filing for his presidential race. thus guaranteeing about exactly this much coverage of him officially being in the running. for a long shot no-name recognition candidates like huntsman and santorum, what the bin laden news gave them this week was an opportunity for a soft launch of their presidential campaigns without too much pressu

it is mr. president, how many spending cuts are you willing to accept? we'll give you the same as you'll give us in spending cuts. so, if you only want $500 billion over the next five years in spending cuts, fine, here's a $500 billion increase in the debt ceiling. and by the way, you'll be back by the end of the year for another debt ceiling, but i think the president also has to be held to accountability for flexibility. if the debt ceiling counts that much, what is he willing to be flexible on? take one item that congressman ryan has proposed and most governors agree with. if you were to block medicaid, that one step is $700 billion to the federal government, about $200 billion to the state government, so that's a trillion dollars less in debt over the next decade. i would not agree to just an automatic blank check debt ceiling. you know, if yours kids came in and had run up their credit cards and said bail me out, you wouldn't say to them, you don't have to change your behavior, here, have some more money. you'd say let's have a conversation about yo

taxpayers, mr. boehner has been a surrenderist , if that as a word, who waved the white flag before the first shots were fired, before the battle was even join. and instead of that $100 billion in cuts, he started his bidding at $35 billion. and obtained just $20 billion, a spit in the ocean, folks. worth about five days were the u.s. borrowing. it seems that house speaker john maynard boehner and his rino republicans in names only seemed to love to spend money like his fellow democrats. we fought furiously against obamacare, but once in power, boehner's republican majority after a hollow, purely subjective repeal vote refuse to use their genuine power to fix medicare, medicaid, or any of the out of control entitlements which threaten to bankrupt our nation and destroy our currency. not even a question. washington is borrowing 40 cents per dollar of federal spending, to bury our children between this -- under this national debt. the wimpy house rino's refused to hide obama as mastercard. paul ryan,

recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership and so ultimately you didn't blame little john or meat loaf, you fired gary busse and these are the kind of decisions that will keep me up at night. well, handled, sir. well, handled. say what you will about mr. trump. he certainly would bring some change to the white house. see what we got up there. so, yes, this has been quite a year in politics. but also in the movies. many people for instance were inspired by the king's speech. wonderful film. well, some of you may not know this but there is now a sequel in the works that touches close to home and because this is a hollywood crowd, tonight i can offer a sneak peek. so can we show the trailer, please? >> the following preview was begrudgingly approved by all audiences by the president of the united states. the film advertises and rated view unwatchable. the year is 2011 and opposition rises. >> congressional republicans could force the federal government to shut down. >> and the president must face. >> republicans are serious will an amendment that would eliminate funding for t

mr. john walsh's the comptroller of the currency of the office of comptroller of the currency. i thank you all for being here. secretary, you may begin your testimony. >> thank you. jarman johnson, a ranking member shall be, members of the committee, i appreciate the opportunity to update you on the treasury department implementation of the dodd-frank act. although our economy and financial markets have made progress towards recovery, we cannot forget what the congress passed and the president signed the dodd-frank act last year. in the fall of 2008 we witnessed a financial crisis of a scale and severity not seen in decades. the crisis exposed from the entel failures in the financial system. our system favored short-term games over stability and growth. the system was weak and susceptible to crisis and the system left taxpayers to save it in times of trouble. we had no choice but to build a better, stronger system enacting dodd-frank was the beginning of that process, and as we move forward with implementation from our efforts are guided by a broad principles. we are moving qui

network that obviously helped mr. bin laden hide in in abbottabad. we note that the tax pakistani government launched an investigation of its own. we think that's a good thing. we'll work to find out as much as we can about how that happened. i'll further state our relationship with pakistan while complicated is very important. and it is very important precisely because of our need to continue the fight against al qaeda. to continue the fight against terrorists. the fight is not done. and we look forward to cooperating with pakistan in the future. as others have said, more terrorists have been killed on pakistani soil than probably any other country. and the cooperation we received from pakistan has been very useful in that regard. >> for the muslims, my question is in order to bring muslim communities [inaudible] they are saying they are being targeted. congressman [inaudible] the president speak broadly to the muslim people -- >> i don't have announcements for other speeches. i'll let the president's statement sunda
