Armstrong Team Members Banned; Standing Could Add Years To Life
BLITZER: Some of Lance Armstrong's former team members are targeted. Lisa Sylvester is monitoring that and some other top stories in THE SITUATION ROOM right now. What's going on, Lisa?</s>LISA SYLVESTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hi, Wolf. Well, the U.S. Anti- Doping Agency is issuing lifetime bans to two doctors and a team trainer. The agency says it was part of what they called a sophisticated far-reaching doping conspiracy. Armstrong is accused of using performance enhancing drugs. Yesterday, a federal court judge dismissed his lawsuit against the agency. Stocks closed sharply lower today in anticipation of disappointing corporate earnings report. Analysts are expecting earnings to drop off compared to the first quarter. Results from JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo are due later this week. And for this next story, maybe you better stand up. Researchers say Americans might live up to two years longer if they sat less. The report in the British Medical Journal says we need to reduce sitting to less than three hours a day. Limiting the time in front of the television to two hours a day could also extend our lives. And I know, Wolf, you're standing right now. There you are. So here's to a long life, Wolf.</s>BLITZER: I hope. All of our viewers as well. Thank you, Lisa. Jack Cafferty's here with "The Cafferty File." Jack, I hope for a long life for you as well.</s>JACK CAFFERTY, CNN ANCHOR: Yes, but I mean, what's it worth if you have to spend all those extra years standing on your feet.</s>BLITZER: It could be worse.</s>CAFFERTY: I guess, that's true. The question this hour is what kind of change did President Obama deliver? Todd writes from Arizona, "More illegal immigrants rights, more racial tension, more debt to China, more taxes for his health care fiasco. Shall I continue or were you looking for positive points? None come to mind." Dave in Seattle writes, "The biggest change will not be seen in his lifetime. It's the inspiration he gives young African-Americans to achieve and become great leaders." John writes, "Zero. He promised a new brand of politics based around the people and he delivered politics as usual. Instead of doing what he said he would do in reaching out to experts outside the normal political circles. He reached out to the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Barney Flank and pulled out the same old tired liberal Democrats playbook to try and solve our problems. President Obama has proven himself to be a typical politician, promising everything, delivering nothing." Gerry in Indiana writes, "The change Obama delivered has been a huge increase in our national debt, a huge tax increase and the guise of Obama care and the worst economy in my memory." Larry in Texas writes, "He ended our wasted efforts in Iraq, he got Bin Laden, he kept the tax cuts, he passed the health care law. All things considered over the last two years with the Republicans main goal to destroy everything in order to defeat him, I give him an A plus." And S writes, "Loose change. Most people all over the world are now counting their pennies." If you want to read more on the subject, go to the blog cnn.com/caffertyfile or through our post on THE SITUATION ROOM's Facebook page. That concludes the segment. I'm sitting down.</s>BLITZER: Sit down, please. You are sitting right now.</s>CAFFERTY: I am.</s>BLITZER: Appreciate it. You're going to stick around. I want you to see this next report though. Her identity is unknown, but many believe her recent appearance besides the new leader of North Korea is rather significant. We have new information. And the miles are piling up. It's a marathon diplomatic mission for the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Is she feeling the strain?
