we do hope to see you again next time. remember, the spin stops here because we're definitely looking out for you. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- >> it's time to move beyond the politics of yesterday because we are the party of tomorrow. we're going forward. but i can promise you this. i will always tell you what i think. i will always tell you where i stand. i will be honest with you about the challenges we face as a nation. we will win this general election, and then you and i together can change the country and change the world. starting today we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin the work of remaking america.

>> if this is the change we all can believe in, america's best days are behind her. >> you voted for change, but they're not getting any change today. >> i do order guantanamo will be closed. >> it was my idea to withdraw. i withdrew. >> when i realized the mistake, i paid the tax in full. >> tom made the decision. i take responsibility for this mistake. >> these were careless mistakes. they were avoidable mistakes. >> our economic crisis could become a national catastrophe. >> if we do everything right, there's still a 30% chance we're going to get it wrong. >> how many of you people want to pay for your neighbors' mort that has an extra bathroom and can't pay their bills?

raise their hand. how about we all -- president obama, are you listening? >> look at this bill. this bill has got to be done by tonight. >> well, this is not a stimulus bill, this is a spending bill. what do you think a stimulus is? >> what happened to the promise that we're going to let the american people see what's in this bill for 48 hours? but nope. we don't have time to do that. >> so i shamelessly say no, i want him to fail if his agenda is a far left collectivism. >> we have always been, and i believe continue to be, a nation of cowards. >> the united states government will stand behind your warranty. there have been times when america has shown arrogance and been dismissive. even derisive. >> we do not consider ourselves a christian nation. >> usa!

usa! >> i've not made the guacamole yet, but if somebody can get me a relatively sharp knife. >> we are going to pass health care reform. >> here we are with a bill that is going to top over $1 trillion with no way of paying for it. >> those three things in 2002 gave me inaccurate and incomplete information. >> i would advise the administration to think very carefully about the course ahead. >> the court of appeals is where policy is made, and i know this is on top, and i shouldn't say this, because we don't make law. >> it's not productive given the history of u.s.-iranian relations to be seen as meddling. >> i respectfully disagree with the position that the administration has taken. >> our first stimulus bill was sort of like taking like half a tablet of viagra.

>> now, if anybody thinks that all of this bureaucracy is needed to fix our health care system i would politely disagree. >> you're telling me we've got to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt? here's the answer i'm telling you. sean: and there you have it, six months of hope and change, a soaring deficit, a failed stimulus, and a foreign policy ashamed of everything this country stands for and, folks, he's just getting warmed up. and joining me is dick morris. for his latest columns and videos sign up for free at dickmorris.com. let's start in the broader view. six months of barack obama. your assessment. "catastrophe." >> i wonder where that guy was, the one we heard in the video of hope and change and all of that stuff. never a word about idealogy and radicalism and government takeover and socialism.

obama's administration was doomed to fail the first week when he gave away the money in that stimulus package. as we point out in catastrophe, this was not a means to end the recession. the recession was an excuse to get the spending. and socialism is not an epithet, it's a statistic. the percentage of the economy controlled by the government. when obama took office it was 33. when he passed his stimulus package it got to be 40. and if he gets health care 45. germany is 47. france is 49. and he really has laid out this program to make america socialist. and the problem is that he's borrowing the money which means he's elbowing out everybody else who wants to create jobs with the money because the federal government has to get there first. sean: the treasury department's watchdog group literally thinks all the obama bailouts can add up to $23 trillion at the end of the day.

one other statistic. his spending shatters the record during world war ii. he's out there purposely hiding back economic news because they have to reforecast based upon their assumptions have beening wrong. >> when he took office spending was $3 trillion, now it's $4 trillion. when he took off it was $13 trillion, now it's $14 trillion. do the math. you're on me a lot that i worked for bill clinton and it's not the most popular thing i've ever done. but bill clinton's solution to the economic crisis was to balance the budget and eliminate the deficit because he knew the crucial thing was not government spending, but interest rates. and he knew the key thing was to bring them down. obama has doubled them since he took office. and the only reason they're not up anymore is that the fed keeps printing money fueling inflation ahead. sean: i guess the question that we've got to ask ourselves with all of this spending and as reckless as it is unemployment tops 10% in 15 states, home

foreclosures now set a new record. they promised us unemployment if we passed the stimulus wouldn't go above 8%. it's a disaster for state revenues on top of federal revenues going down. there's a question here. if now that his poll numbers are coming down, has that been the reason for the big push for health care, to get it out of the way because there's no chance later? >> yeah. i wrote a book that i think he read. this first chapter was called "the new prince," and the first chapter was a need for a daily majority. and it said when the president of the united states drops below the 50's, he's functionally out of office. it's as if he's a prime minister in britain who just lost a vote of confidence. he's at 51 now according to rasmussen, 59 in this "washington post," 56 in gallup, and everybody agrees he's dropped 10 to 15 in the last months. when those numbers go into the 40's, he won't be able to pass

anything, so he's desperate to get cap and trade and health care reform as fast as he can until he becomes too politically impotent to do it. sean: he's pretty much got everything he's wanted. he's pushing now for health care. it's interesting. now we've got democratic senators, democratic governors, blue dog democrats in the house, now they're the ones standing up to him. why is that happening? >> because he's not in the 60's anymore, he's in the low 50's, and they say he's going down, and they have to run without him, and they have to survive the day after, and i believe he's meeting his waterloo. one was when he lost the check off provision. he had to give that up. now, it looks like he's backing off that august deadline for health care reform. sean: he just backed off.

>> the second thing he's lost on. and i think that -- you know, winston churchill said between the battle of midway, before then, we never won a battle, after that we never lost a battle. i think that may be true of obama. until now he's never lost a battle. after this he may never win one. sean: here going forward. so do you think politically now -- how bad are things going to get before the 2010 elections? >> horrible. you'll have unemployment continuing to go up. when it begins to come down, inflation is going to go completely crazy, and i think this republicans will win the 10 election, whether they get power or a lot. sean: bill clinton did go along with the republicans to end welfare, the era of big government did end. it seems like he's so stuck into his idealogy. the question becomes does he see

what's happening, do we see that it's so obvious to us? >> he does. absolutely. he's not delusional, but he doesn't care. his attitude is i want to complete a socialist takeover of the united states before my popularity runs out. and if i'm a one-term president i don't care. and we are stuck. when he talks about lowering the cost of health care, he's talking about denying health care to the elderly. his bill repeals medicare. the concept of a guaranteed access to health care to the elderly ends. sean: guaranteed rationing. that means cut it for the elderly. sean: sounds like a catastrophe. >> it is. sean: thank you, dick. coming up we'll tell you how one farmer in iowa recently sent a message to president obama thanks to his class warfare.

and bobby jindal will be here. he says the democrats and their plans to tax and spend our way out of this recession is destined for failure.
