net gain for pittsburgh? >> absolutely. protesters up to now did damage to retail stores but relatively contained. for pittsburgh, a city that most people in the international community still think of as the steel city, a smog city, they don't understand the story of how the city has incredibly transformed itself with life sciences, it and green jobs. this convention center is the only lead certified in the country. pittsburgh has 40 buildings that are certified. it's on the cutting edge of the green economy. people don't understand that about pittsburgh. they don't even understand this great skyline. >> how do you make the calculation between we're going to get a lot of good press on the economic transformation of the city but we're going to have the protester video in how do you know -- >> there's always an element of risk. i look back at seattle. seattle was the worst american experience with the g-8 at that time. seattle didn't have any permanent damage. i think the risk was worth taking. it's expensive. i'd like to say

let me share with you guys something medvev said to pittsburgh students yesterday. he said i am very comfortable with communications with the president of the united states for several reasons. we are of the same generation and we have the same kind of education. when i'm communicating with the u.s. president, i get the feeling he is listening. he doesn't preach to you as a mentor. he has managed to do other things that others have failed to do. in that case, he was talking about switching on the defense. this is pretty interesting stuff, pat. >> also backhand george w. bush, for sure. i always felt the rusha and united states are naturally allies and russia, ultimately, is part of the west, once you get rid of communism. i think the president helped himself immensely by taking down or not going up with this missile defense and poland and the czech republic against a nonuranium threat. that really set the table for a good relationship. on this thing that happened today, andrea. there is really a key question. ahmadinejad and his people were saying they were only goi

that's in pittsburgh. they will demand that tehran open the covert facility to inspections by the international atomic energy agency. he does have two world leaders by his side. that does help. but how would you characterize this as a moment in terms of the president -- well, the perception of this country's view of the president's approach to foreign policy. >> well, if this had been the previous administration, probably there would have been a lot more skepticism about these results. but given the fact that the obama administration has been so open, and this president as a candidate has been so open about being willing to change policy and engage even with adversaries and enemies, i think it will have a lot more credibility. this has very big implications also for american intelligence, which got the wmd wrong on iraq. so that, of course, is a test. there will be questions asked about that. but it could shore up a very battered intelligence community. and it certainly strengthens israel's hand in warning

he's with me in pittsburgh. he's on capitol hill and elizabeth, a washington correspondent who covers defense and foreign policy. first up is iran. elizabeth, tell me how significant you think this is and what is the prospect of the united states? >> very big questions there. what this does now, for the united states, is make its case for sanctions against iran stronger. there's hope the russians and chinese will come along and support a new round of sanctions. now, it gives the united states a good, perhaps last chance, to try this before being confronted with a more difficult choice about military action way down the road or letting israel do it. >> well, elizabeth, speaking of that, what is the prospect that sanctions could change their behavior? so many people are skeptical that slaps on the wrist aren't gouk to going to do much. >> there have been three rounds that haven't done much at all. the united states is hoping a new round of sanctions, a tougher round would wake up iran. no one knows if that will wo

pittsburgh was a perfect venue for this work. this city has known its share of hard times as the steel industry could no longer sustain growth but pittsburgh picked itself up, dusted itself off and is making the transition from bio technology to clean energy. it serves as the model for turning the page to a 21st century economy and reminding us that our future prosperity lies not in new york or los angeles or washington, but in places like pittsburgh. today we took bold and concerted action to secure that prosperity and forge a new framework for strong sustainable and balanced growth. first, we agreed to sustain our recovery plans until growth is restored, and a new framework for prosperity is in place. our coordinated stimulus plan played an indispensable role in diverting catastrophe. now we must make sure that when growth urns, jobs do, too. that's why we will continue our stimulus efforts until people are back to work and phase them out when our recovery is strong. we can't stop there. going forward, we cannot tolerate the sa
