[Brooke Baldwin, Cnn Anchor:] Hour two. I'm Brooke Baldwin. President Obama lashing out at a surprise news conference this morning. Also, the future of Apple after Steve Jobs. And it is now cheaper to buy a home than ever before. Time to play "Reporter Roulette" on this Thursday. And, Dan Lothian, let's begin with you there at the White House. Dan, we listened to the president this morning answering many questions and not only did he take on Republicans, right? He's taking on, again, millionaires.
[Dan Lothian, Cnn White House Correspondent:] That's right. And what we are talking about here is that surtax to pay for the president's jobs bill, which Senate Democrats are pushing and it's 5.6 percent on those making over a million dollars. We did not see or hear a full-throated endorsement of this from the president. In fact, though, what he said was that he was comfortable and that he thought that this approach from Senate Democrats was fine. The president supporting this as a means of paying for this jobs bill, which, of course, that's been the big issue, how to pay for all of this.
[Baldwin:] President Obama, though-
[Barack Obama, President Of The United States:] Will Congress do something? If Congress does something, then I can't run against a do-nothing Congress. If Congress does nothing, then it's not a matter of me running against them. I think the American people will run them out of town.
[Lothian:] Of course, that was the president talking about how he wants Congress to make some movement on his jobs bill and he wants to see this passed in one piece. But he's also I guess realizing that that's it is possible that that may not happen and so the president says that he will continue to hammer away at Congress until all of those other elements do get addressed, Brooke.
[Baldwin:] Yes, that's what I was going ask, if he needs the whole thing or perhaps in part. Dan Lothian, thank you very much at the White House. Next our "Reporter Roulette" we want to talk a little bit about the death of apple founder Steve Jobs. Casey Wian in Pasadena, California, for us this afternoon. And, Casey, Apple customers they are very much so known for their loyalty. But why is that? What makes them so loyal to a man many of us certainly never knew?
[Casey Wian, Cnn Correspondent:] Well, you know, in the words of one customer we spoke with this morning, it is because the products work. He put it as simple as that. It is very unusual when you see the CEO of a company pass away that you will see that customers that company's customers pour out in tributes as if it was a member of the family or a member of the community has passed away. Over here you can see since Steve Jobs' death last night, people have been leaving flowers, little notes in Apple stickers. Thanks for all the magic. We will miss you, Steve. RIP. Even a quote from Dr. Seuss. Don't be sad because it is over. Smile because it happened. Someone even left a card here for Steve Jobs. Let me read it to you. It is real brief, but it's very, very telling. "Dear Steve, we will all miss you very much. My dad bought me my first Apple II in 1977 when I was 12 years old. Your vision and commitment to the extraordinary is both inspiring and magnificent. God bless you. Love, John S." from an Apple customer. Pretty much says it all, Brooke.
[Baldwin:] It does. It's amazing how much he and his innovations touched so many people. Casey, thank you so much in Pasadena. Still ahead, a pretty stunning report from the group that advised against mammograms for women. Do you remember that news? Pretty controversial at the time. Find out now what the same group is saying about men and what you should not be doing. Plus
[Unidentified Female:] This is my son
[Baldwin:] A mother begs for change after her teenage son suddenly dies. We will tell you what she is demanding. Also, just in to us here at CNN, we are getting word on a major development involving the raid that killed Osama bin Laden what Pakistan is now doing to the doctor who helped lead the CIA to the world's most wanted terrorist next.
