Obama a Sellout? Part 2

jimrcnn — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 01:28:43 +0000

We got into a great discussion after the show on our blog with Matt Taibbi, a contributing editor at Rolling Stone about a piece he wrote "Obama's Big Sellout." Taibbi accuses the president of packing his economic team with wall street insiders. Here's part of that online conversation. Part two if you will. Watch and then tell me your reaction.

Pres. Obama a sellout?

jimrcnn — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 23:56:36 +0000

Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stones magazine says the president doesn't get it. In fact, his article is called "Obama's Big Sellout." Taibbi is getting a lot of heat for what he's written about Pres. Obama and the bankers. Amazing stuff you gotta see! Watch it and tell me what you think. And don't forget to join me weekdays, 3-4pm ET on CNN and 4pm-415pm ET on cnn.com/live

Officer jailed for taking papers. Is an apology overdue?

A Maricopa County sheriff's detention officer is released from jail on appeal. He had refused a judge's order to publicly apologize to an attorney. The officer was seen in a courtroom video taking a document from the attorney's files. Incredible right? Well, you've got to see the verbal match between the officer's attorney and a former prosecutor. They were on my show recently and the conversation was anything but mild.

To Pakistan: Move against the Taliban, or step aside

The White House's message to Pakistan's military couldn't be simpler: Get more aggressive against the Taliban, or the United States military will do it for you.

Rick's guest in this clip says ramping up demands of Pakistan might not be the answer. Andrew Bacevich is a professor of International Relations and History at Boston University. He's also a retired U.S. Army officer and Vietnam veteran.

Fascinating conversation.

Osama bin Laden. He got away.

I'm going to state the obvious: The United States has so far failed to capture or kill Osama bin Laden. That's after more than eight years of war triggered by the events of September 11th, 2001.

I want to know why. I want to know where he is. I want to know where his lieutenant Ayman Zawahiri is. I want to know where Mullah Omar is. Nobody I talk to seems to have a satisfying answer, so I keep asking.

In this clip, I interview Gary Berntsen. He was the CIA team leader in Afghanistan in December 2001. His mission was simply to capture or kill Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda. But he didn't do either.

Watch as I ask him why.

Freebies and trips and MONEY for your politicians!

Dave Johnson — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 20:16:42 +0000

Why do we tolerate the excesses taken by our elected officials?

You know what junkets are, right? They're those all-expenses-paid trips and freebies that lawmakers occasionally receive from companies and influential people. The expectation is that those lawmakers will remember that generosity when it's time to vote.

Junkets. Freebies. Politics. Backs have been scratched like this for a long, long time.

In this clip, Rick talks to a New York Times reporter who helped uncover more than a THOUSAND trips taken by lawmakers. "Questionable" trips.

Watch.

Global warming: Fiction or Fact?

jimrcnn — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:30:05 +0000

Did you catch my show the other day? We dove into the debate on climate change. Some say the planet's getting warmer. Others say NOT! Watch this video and tell me what you think.

She risked it all to look good.

Solange Magnano once was on top of the world. She was beautiful and famous (she represented Argentina in the Miss Universe pageant) and she enjoyed success as a runway model.

But she still wasn't happy.

Obsessed with her physical appearance, Magnano went in for a non-surgical procedure designed to improve the look of her backside. Three days later she was dead.

In this clip, Rick talks to Rafael Romo about the stir this needless death has caused in the Latin American media and with Elizabeth Cohen from CNN's medical unit.

Boycott the census? Latinos urged to not take part.

Dave Johnson — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:18:06 +0000

A Latino religious leader is calling for Hispanics living in the United States to boycott next year's census.

Why would he do that?

Here's both sides of this argument, including input from a Latino community leader who says a boycott would be a big mistake.
