Obama's Presser; The Economy; 9/11 and a Florida Pastor

Bob and Tony were both unimpressed with Obama's press conference, but for very different reasons, while Arianna found a ray of hope in the hint that Elizabeth Warren would soon be named head of the Consumer Protection Agency. While Tony questions her impact on the banks, Matt responds that the banks betrayed consumers. Bob feels the Democrats need a populist response in substance, not just in rhetoric, and Arianna calls out the hypocrisy of the deficit hawks. Also, on the ninth anniversary of 9/11, all four decry the media attention given to a previously unknown pastor's threats to burn Korans.
