i think christine hit on some important points. what you can fault the white house for perhaps is fail to understand that international olympic committee politics and putting the prestige of the presidency on the line for something that wouldn't have been that great a payoff. >> well, he might have been darned if he did and darned if he didn't. if he hadn't gone and we lost, you say, why didn't you go? if he does go, he gets criticism for that. in the long run, do you think this is seen as a poke in the eye to the president himself? or as we were talking about with christine, to the united states? >> i think that christine points are important. for the president himself, a lot will depend on what happens going forward. if the president gets a health care bill this fall, in the economy starts to turn around, if he can build an international coalition to take on iran's nuclear program, none of this will matter. nothing that happened today will matter. things go badly in the nothing that happened today will matter. things go badly in

what do you say to christine? again there are a ton of comments like that. drew go-ahead, drew. >> what i say again our jails are filled with people that are sick and even right now getting elderly. you know that's one of the crises in this country we've given out such lengthy sentences particularly in federal drug cases, we are paying for elderly inmates. that crisis goes beyond him and to what do we do with these elderly inmates. they require much more costly medical care than this one case requires. >> okay. let's get a call in holly from oklahoma. your thoughts here? >> caller: hi mike. how are you? >> good. >> caller: good to talk to you just love you. listen, this is ridridiculous. the man shot two people okay. then you attempted to shoot himself. now, come on. you know okay just off the top i could use some botox, i don't know what it to tell you about this is ridiculous. my hard-earned money is going to go to pay for him to fix his face. >> there you go. a lot of people agree with you, holly. you know, we

christine lagard hinted that to me. she's clearly worried about this. how big of a problem is this going to be for a european recovery? everybody wants to export their way out of this recession. and you've got a high currency, it ain't going to be you. >> well, she's not going to get a lot of sleep going forward they're not going to get out of this problem until they start creating more reflation policies. they're going to get what they want and deserve which is a deflationary story with significant unemployment problems that's going to force them to shake up policy or take the pain. but one or the other's going to happen in these next 12 months and the first thing that's going to happen is unemployment is going up in europe and growth is going to be extremely flat to low with deflation rising in the core european countries. >> philip, guy, leaving it there for a moment. plenty more to come from the ism meeting. you can catch it at cnbc.com. >>> saudi prince is urging the u.s. government to sell its 34% stake in citigroup as soon as this year to boost i

and ironically christine roemer, chairman of the economic advisors sat where you sat and testified that job gains would be highest in manufacturing and construction. and in your testimony, as it has been for several months, actually the greater job losses have occurred in manufacturing and construction, the very two areas the stimulus was proclaimed would have a jolt to america's economy. what i think is happening in real life is that you have one stimulus that is so small compared to the rest of the economy. if the u.s. economy is the size of the football field, the stimulus spending is about that of the 1 yard line and it's hard to claim that's stimulating the economy and the second problem we've got is that i meet each monday with a number of our businesses in the houston region to try to determine what they're experiencing and what they're forecasting. and week in and week out, even though there are different groups, they come to the same conclusion, which is their customers and clients are delaying business investment decisions, waiting to see what washington will do. they're afrai

and christine is calling from north carolina. all right, christine, we have one on one side, one on the other. you're the tiebreaker. what do you think? >> caller: i think there has to be room for discretion when it comes to zero tolerance in our elementary schools. zero tolerance is becoming more like zero intelligence when it comes to though who shouldn't have the authority to govern what it is truly intended for. i as a parent of a 6-year-old little boy who received a phone call from his elementary school because he was pretending to use his fingers like a gun, hence, his fingers, they had threatened to as well suspend him if it happened again. i think to punish a 6-year-old so severely that doesn't quite understand what, you know, he's being punished for is ridiculous. >> were you able to work that out before your child got suspended? >> caller: yes, yes. we did. >> thank you for your phone call and sharing your personal experience. we appreciate it. got opinions on both sides and we asked your opinion and thanks for your e-m

first on the phone is christine. >> caller: i think a relationship can survive infidelity and both parties must be willing to work things out. the cheating party has to work hard at regaining the other party's trust. all ties must be completely broken with the outside person involved in the relationship, and it can never be repeated again. >> do you think the trust level is gone forever? >> caller: it may not be gone forever, but it could be. >> how long would it take? months? years? >> caller: it's hard to say. >> good call. let's go to dallas and ahi to michael. >> caller: first i was thinking no, it doesn't survive. now i'm thinking, you know, maybe it will survive, but it's not going to thrive. the trust is hoetly gone. that person is putting you at risk physically. there's a lot of stuff out there. there's hiv. there's all kinds of stuff you can't get rid of. some of it will kill you. if you were in a relationship and your wife put a gun to your head, would you stay there? i wouldn't stay there. i don't know. it's a tough question. >> you're thinking through it. thank you. good call.
