SANCHEZ: All right. Welcome back. Big economic news today is about Japan. That's right, Japan. Did you know that Japan is the second largest economy in the world? We, of course, are number one. Here's the good news. The Japanese are out of recession. They are now officially in recovery mode, with their economy growing 0.9 percent in the second quarter, all that according to economic experts and forecasters and the Japanese wire services. Like us and the rest of the world, their economy was as bad as it's been since the 1940s. They may have been one of the worst cases. Now, because they used government stimulus money to boost their recovery, is this now something that President Obama can and should perhaps point to as a sign that his strategy will eventually work? That's a question. Speaking of something that works -- not -- the president's push for a public option. Seriously, is this thing off the table, or is it on the table? Does anyone know? Does the White House know? We are going to try and keep score on this one as well for you when we come back. Stay right there.
