questioning the president's christianity. so santorum clarified remarks. >> i was talking about the radical environmentalists. that's why i was talking about energy. the idea that man is not, is here to serve the earth. as opposed to husband that resources and be good steward of the earth. i think that is a phony ideal. i don't believe that is what we're here to do. >> kimberly: did he cross the line? did he need to clarify it? >> dana: he thought he needed to clarify it. he did a fine job. it's much ado about nothing. there has been this, there has been not enough news apparently for into look at. you don't think so? >> greg: you're right. if it wasn't for santorum we'd be sitting here quietly looking at each other. >> kimberly: it would be awkward. >> dana: at least he gave us material. if you are looking for a slight in any comment from a politician on live television, speaking passionately,

clarification was fine. i think that everyone should take a chill pill. >> kimberly: take a chill pill. >> eric: you know what? global warmers are like a religion. i believe everything he said. i don't know if he needed to clarify it. it became -- where are we where every single word we have to clarify the meaning of every word that comes out of our mouth? >> bob: when you say a president theology is based on a phony ideology, philosophy, not based on the bible is somewhat newsworthy. >> eric: i'm not sure -- >> dana: he didn't say not based on the bible. >> bob: well, that is what he said. not based on the bible. >> eric: it's a discussion. >> bob: when he clarified it. but the thing about politicians you is to be careful talking about faith and the bible. santorum is somebody who has the known and is a devout catholic. knows the bible well. he raised questions about

obama governmenting philosophy and whether it was true to the biblical philosophy. that's where santorum stepped into it. he better be careful. politicians and religion like that, backdrop of the contraceptive issue has a short run gain and long-term dangerous for him. >> greg: here is the thing. santorum i have to say is right in the sense that obama puts polywogg before people. he shut down the pipeline that did more favor to the earth than people. we're not sure that is true. i find interesting the pushback from media. when the president's religiosity comes to play, the media pushes back on that. normally, doesn't the media find religion silly and quaint? when religion is connected to anybody that is republican it's a joke. irrelevant. you are old fashioned. if you are president obama and religion comes up, then the media is like how dare you. >> eric: do you think rick

santorum was going after president obama's christianity? >> i don't think so. they are spinning it to something they think they can -- >> dana: it's coming from the media that avoided talking about the jeremiah wright church that president obama attended for however many years. i think -- not talking about it, i guess, i dent know what else they would have talked about. he wasn't talking about christianity. anybody that covered environmentalism throughout the 1960s, and since the silent spring from the early '60s and '70s -- >> greg: rachel carson. >> dana: rachel carson. anybody that knows anything about the green movement know that some people worship trees. maybe he was talking about -- >> greg: i know people that hug trees. i'm not kidding. i worked in an environmentally friendly -- >> bob: i -- >> kimberly: you don't buy he was going after environmentalist radicallists?

>> bob: he clarified himself and said he wasn't questioning obama christianity. when you say that something is not -- this is an exact quote from santorum -- "based on the bible," we are not in the business of basing -- i happen to be a christian and i feel very strongly about this. we don't base our political philosophy on the bible. when he says that, it's open for interpretation and he deserves to get heat for it. he backed it up with the environmental thing but he realizes he's in trouble. >> kimberly: i want to get to robert gibbs on the abc show. hear how he handles it and we'll see if he did a good job. >> i can't help but think those remarks are over the line. it's wrong, destructive. it makes it impossible to solve the problems we all face together as americans. is it time to get rid of it. >> kimberly: greg, we start with you. >> greg: he belonged to an

administration that was sewing the seeds of class division for the last year or so, telling us we have to face the problems together as americans. being a bit hypocritical. >> dana: plus an opportunity, my style could have been i'll let the republican fight this out. it's unattractive to any woman when somebody takes a slight at everything. if you are looking to be offended all the time. it's -- you don't want to be around people like that. there is an opportunity to say i'm going to let the republicans fight it out. let me tell you why president obama deserves a second term. you the free room to take the conversation in a different place. >> eric: if gibbs can go on a national television show and try to highlight that they think he crossed a line, and interpret what he said at meaning, questioning obama's christianity, they are going to play it up as much as they can. no surprise. >> bob: i think -- >> kimberly: is it overreaction? >> bob: dana is right, he could have used the answers a better way, but he did cross the line. the problem is all of a sudden the republicans find

themselveses in a family values fight circa 1990s. one they lost then. why they want to get involved in this when they have big fruit to pick against obama on the economy. yet, they now are immersed because of santorum, mostly. immersed in all serious of values issue. don't win. >> dana: every interview santorum said i believe what i believe and let me tell you how i'll bring jobs back to this country. in some ways it's -- maybe we'll find when the history books are written this was a strategy to get the republicans -- >> greg: the problem with santorum is he mistaking the part for the whole. the birth control pill story was part of a larger story about government overreach. people will buy into that. if you focus on the, you know, on the trunk of elephant and not the elephant you lose. >> bob: why don't you focus on what he said about prenatal testing leads to lots of abortions. well, certainly some prenatal testing leads to abortion, tu

implication is you shouldn't have prenatal testing. who is he kidding? >> eric: i will give you this, he started playing around in the social conservatism, got a little bit of a bump from it, or a big bump from it. maybe taking too many bites at that apple. give you that. >> kimberly: with this issue? contraception? catholic church? >> eric: it became this issue and maybe he was delving in theology. i don't know where he was. the issue goes back -- >> bob: let republicans fight values all they want. i think democrats game all along, don't say anything about it. >> eric: get back to the economy the better. >> kimberly: talk about that for a moment, the juxtaposition how it's been handled. paul ryan was on this weekend. listen to what representative paul had to say. >> we are seeing this new government activism, a paternalistic arrogant, political philosophy that puts new government rights in the way of the constitutional rights. >> that is his criticism how obama went after catholics;

specifically, religious issue that some say was to the benefit of santorum. how do you see it? >> eric: it's time to start focusing, refocusing back on the economy. on jobs. the more, the longer you play in deep end of the pull, as bob might point out, the risk is you fall in the deep end of the pool and you can't swim out of it. santorum, i'm not sure he is swimming there. >> greg: as a republican, if the economy gets better you lose that. you to focus on the different ideologies to predict the next four years. not just the economy. that could get better. talk about the class warfare, deficit. >> kimberly: do you do it now or in general election? >> bob: no other expert but ron paul said after the weekend was over republicans ought to get off the issues. >> bob: if you read -- >> dana: i read the transcript today. when you read that, a lot of it makes sense. he is talk about returning those decisions to the states. >> bob: yeah. >> dana: really, for like

well -- >> kimberly: a little agreement. the two of you concur. on that positive and happy note, take a break. coming up, gas prices are the highest on record for this time of the year. some people wonder if the media is giving president obama a pass on this issue. we'll compare it to how the media treated president bush and then you can decide. don't forget to e-mail us at thefive@foxnews.com. stay with us. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> eric: listen to today's headlines. iran cuts oil shipment to u.k. and france. iranian warship dock at syrian port. those led to these headline. oil hit nine-month high and gas prices highest ever for february. election year, that spells trouble for the incumbent. prices are up across the country. 23 states now over $3.50-gallon. when an important swing state say like ohio, sees gas prices 17 cents in a week, there is

simply no way to spend out of that. sadly some americans have to make this call. fill up or feed my family? fill up or go without something? if americans have to decide between this and this, you know you got a snowball's chance in hell to being re-elected. bob, that is what some people are under. >> dana: with global warming you don't have any snowball. >> bob: now that you made the point, get it off the table. now i'll ask you a question. correct you on a few things. britain is not importing iranian oil for six months and french have less than 4% of the oil that comes from the iranians. syria is in the middle of a civil war. and iran docking warship, israel getting close to making a decision on bombing the nuclear facility in iran. add it together and you have the most destabilizing series of news stories coming out of the middle east. having nothing to do with barack obama.

the fact of the matter is these things are all, when you say it's the highest in february, that is true. you never had convergence of events like this. >> eric: one second. bob, natural gas. right? we drill our own natural gas. natural gas saw headline iranians not selling oil. natural gas prices haven't gone up. they are on five-year lows right now. your theory about that not having anything to do with barack obama off the bat -- >> bob: how many cars are run on natural gas? >> eric: not enough. >> bob: equate to apples and oranges. >> eric: they're not. they're both fuels. >> bob: but one we use in cars and the other -- >> greg: we can't put apples and oranges in the cars. >> bob: yes, you can. >> greg: you say obama has nothing to do with it. he is the nothing to do with it president. if you look at gas prices, gitmo, drones, patriot act, cronyism, unicorn abuse, everything that happened under bush, he got yelled at.

when it happens with obama, he gets more passes than jerry rice. >> dana: even on the healthcare reform bill, they don't have anything to do with it until 2014. >> eric: we'll get there in a second. >> kimberly: listen, people have to make these decisions with the higher gas prices whether or not to use disposable income. whether to fill up the tank and tape the trips. we are a consumer driven country. right? in terms of our economy. we decide what we are going to do in terms of how much money we'll spend. people are worried about that, that will have an impact on our ability to cover. >> eric: xl pipeline. there is an opportunity where the oil prices could have come down. >> greg: canada is more dangerous than the ayatollahs. >> bob: if they accept the pipeline it would double the problem. obama will pay a price for this. i was going to say something you'd like. >> eric: put these in and then you move on. what do you mean xl pipeline would haven't any effect on gas? >> bob: on this today i said. >> eric: honestly, bob, i love you, you are a brilliant guy, but you are such a spin

doctor. >> bob: it's tough to spin a pipeline that is not built yet to impact gas prices today. >> eric: oil prices are going up. they impact gas prices. >> bob: listen, i was about to say if the gas prices stay up, it will hurt obama at the polls. it always does. despite the fact that is the result of convergence of international events no one could have foreseen. directly responsible. that and let me say the financial times one of your -- it says the reason it's gone up a lot among other thing is hedge funds and speculators like you used to be, spending, buying long-term position. >> eric: what are they speculating on? >> bob: i assume war in the middle east. >> eric: do they speculate on natural gas where we have plenty here? no. you can't speculate on that. >> greg: are you asking bob to speculate on speculating? >> eric: yes. >> greg: i want to speculate on that. >> eric: this is important. under george bush when gas prices were headed higher, look at how the main stream media spun it.

listen. >> people are blaming oil companies for the prices but what could be ominous sign for republicans, number of people we spoke to blame president bush. >> the bush administration under pressure to curb rising gas prices. >> political pressure is rising about as fast as the price of gas. so the president gives a major energy speech today. >> spiking gas prices from coast to coast to create a new political pain for administration already falling in the polls. >> dana: it was relentless and it was every day. the reasonable answer that bob just gave about international convergence and supply and demand issues, basically, no democrat in 2007 and 2008 was saying that. it was all this is bush's fault. these are his friends in the oil industry. i dealt with that every day. they went after what is he going to do about it? what is he going to do? institute a wind pal profits tax, as if that would help is he going to call opec? what is he going to do? it was frantic. now all of a sudden everybody is so reasonable. >> eric: you know what he did? he lifted moratorium on

offshore drilling. >> kimberly: here is the problem now. i agree with bob on this. you have uncertainty in the middle east and problem with domestic energy policies and new environmental advertisement business regulations, crippling businesses to make it difficult for the refineries to operate in the u.s. this creates a perfect storm to make it difficult for obama whether he wants to take responsibility or not to get re-elected. >> bob: what you saw with george bush, they are three or four days from those stories. obama will take the heat. it's pound to happen. he is the president. if prices go up, he will take the heat. my belief is -- >> eric: abc -- >> bob: yes, i do. i think gas prices will be down by election day. >> greg: i haven't seen any way that obama will stop the press. banning free cocktails at media event. he's getting a free ride. >> dana: he doesn't take the question anymore. it was one press conference a month and less and less.

he does the interviews to ask questions, if you were a tree what kind of tree would you be? what keeps you up at night? how great are you? >> bob: i now can put a gallon of gas in the car. because i got this. >> eric: ready? major outbreak of influenza after a big win if the knicks over the world champion dallas mavericks last night. but how is jeremy lin handling the pressure off the court? we take a look at the controversy. next. ♪ ♪

it. i can't believe you can't know. here is the way i look at it on sunday. if i was working at "red eye" and i did a show and it came up as a lower third and i didn't know about it and the next day there was all this mail, i would drag that guy out here and beat the crap out of him. he took everybody's job at risk by doing that. by making that joke. maybe he was trying to make a point that colloquialism should maintain a certain importance over racism. i don't know what point he was making but if it was my show, i would have gone crazy. >> kimberly: i don't think he did it on perp. >> greg: c'mon! >> dana: i didn't buy the defense he didn't do it on purpose, it's one thing when you say something on live television and it just comes out. it's another thing to write it down. >> greg: we say stupid things here all the time and apologize for it. that got through. he wrote that down. that is designed to -- it was designed for some kind of attention. he got it. but he hurts everybody else.

just to make a point. >> dana: or if nobody else got it or caught it, too much of a punishment? >> bob: i do think it was too much. this is coming from a guy who himself has been on this line a little bit myself. but i will tell you this, the guy in his defense, assume he did know what he was doing. he has written that headline hundreds of times. >> greg: but the picture, the picture -- >> eric: okay. >> bob: i want to give lin credit. he has been magnificent with this. he said, he forgave him, forgive him as a tenet of his christian faith. it's very strong. federico said he was a christian and it would upset him because he didn't want to leave the impression he was trying to hurt lin. lin showed class, but espn overreacted. they should have suspended him for a couple of weeks maybe. >> dana: the anchor max bretos was suspended for 30 days because he had sort of, i guess slip when he asked the same thing. if there is a chink in the

armor, where can he improve his game? i don't watch a lot of sports. is "chink in the armor" common? >> greg: it's not that common. it's not that common. take a picture of asian person. that is not a coincidence. >> kimberly: it's unfortunate. whether he intended it or not. i don't know what is in his head or his heart. it's highly suspicious but they did treat the anchor different from the editor. they both apologized. lin was a class act and said i don't think they meant anything by it. >> dana: his quote was he had, it was amazing win on saturday night. he said, gave up pollgize for my end and said i don't care anymore. you have to learn to forgive. i don't think it was intentional. admire that. >> eric: here is the question. if the headline writer and the anchor came out and said look, i made a mistake, i'm sorry, i should haven't done it. looking for attention. as lin says i get it, i'm a

christian. forgiven. should espn maybe retract or cut back some of the -- >> greg: if i'm a coworker on the espn web site and my buddy thinks it's funny, a stupid joke. dude, you are risking my reputation making a dumb joke. we make dumb jokes all the time. >> bob: who does? >> greg: well, not me. become a stand-up comedian. go on stage and make the jok jokes. you will pay the price. >> bob: you saw the headline and somebody along the line -- >> dana: it ran at 3:00 in the morning. >> bob: somebody else should have seen it. >> dana: nothing good happens after 2:00 a.m. i'm telling you. >> bob: yes, it does. a lot of things. >> dana: jeremy lin said he would let it go. if you look to be offended all the time, you can be offended.

declaration of independence. how do you get better than that? >> bob: you can't. i'll do this and i know you won't agree with me. one might. i'll pick two. not for the presidency, but for single events in the presidency, i think have been overlooked and are important. everybody agrees that israel is the important ally in the middle eas they went to two wars. won 73, and almost lost it because of the united arab attack on all side. camp david accord took egypt and jord done out of this and jimmy carter is one. the second one i will give credit to is george w. bush. because he did more and put more resources in africa and when history records this, probably responsible for saving millions and millions of lives. he never gets any credit for it. let him get credit for it. that is me. congratulations both president carter and -- >> kimberly: i think i may love you for that. >> bob: one more thing coming up next, folks.

>> kimberly: it's time now for one more thing. greg used his up so we have to i go head and start with me, something happy. over the weekend i had exciting plans which included watching new york 1 twice because i watch the elevation of the archbishop to cardinal. i thought it was really a proud wonderful moment. he is the head of the church here, 2.6 million catholics in new york city. had the opportunity to meet him and have great conversation. and there is many who feel he could be american pope. why not? we love it. eric? >> eric: presidents' day, happened to be on fox and friends this morning and this happened. look. >> three, two, one. ohhh! go! >> the best four presidents, one fell. james madison fell. george washington gave the

atomic elbow after that. >> kimberly: dangerous. >> dana: i was also on fox and friends but as a guest. so i was talking about politics, blah, blah blah,, gas prices. i went down the hallway and jack hannah was there with a baby kang room. and i got to hold a 6-month-old baby kangaroo, a baby girl. and i do think -- jack hannan was awesome to meet. joe donovan as well and a new book "zoo milacy" to help people figure out how to train animals the way they used to do on the ranch, back in the day. and i think that that kangaroo did something in his diaper while i was holding it. >> kimberly: it tried to do something -- >> bob: i saw it first. it was good. >> greg: i was also on fox and friends and discussion my addiction to window cleaner. it wasn't a good segment.
