conservative movement, as you are. way off on the conservative movement. what are you kidding me? whoever makes a case against obama and that is all they've been doing. >> eric: no, they haven't. >> bob: they haven't? >> eric: they have been systemically taken apart by the left. michele bachmann, then rick perry and herman cain. they are defending themselves. every day you hear stuff from the left. put them on the defensive so all they can do is defend their record instead of taking shots at obama where they should be. >> greg: the candidate whoever believes obama is the problem. he narrowed it down to 86 million people. >> eric: correct. >> greg: even carrot top could occupy the white house. >> andrea: he's right. so many candidates taken the bait, the media's bait to go after each other. inside the tent. the one who hasn't has been newt gingrich. he has been the one who resisted every debate. i would say, too, mitt romney is running a general election campaign. he has been focused on obama

the most. obama's team is focused on romney the most. >> kimberly: you are right. you can tell where the worry is, the frustration is. they think that is the guy to beat. i agree. romney and newton, 100%. newt showed statesman like quality throughout the debate. that is part of the reason he's been elevated. he has been focused on message and focusing on obama and focusing on the democrats saying run amok. this is what happens when you allow liberals to take the reins. >> bob: you are all on medical marijuana. >> kimberly: we are not. >> bob:ed 90% of the attacks of the republicans are directed at obama. a little bitf each other but for the most part -- romney -- >> eric: you are upset because medical marijuana, you're on something stronger than that. >> bob: i've always been on something stronger. >> eric: it's themselves, the left taking shots. >> andrea: we have discussed this every day at the table. who has gone on the air and done an ad to attack obama. romney.

>> bob: perry. >> andrea: not many. >> eric: a controversial ad when it came out this morning, around today or so. take a look at what mitt romney's ad looks like taking a shot at obama.

mccain. you can't be more honest than that -- >> greg: i can't believe you're upset over a dirty trick. >> bob: i want you to suggest when you suggest to say that the republicans are not dumping on barack obama, that is all they've done. they do in a deceitful, vicious way. >> eric: the guy talking about making the phone calls to voters. >> bob: i was younger then. >> kimberly: phone call, buying elections. >> bob: i was younger. >> andrea: i know you went to the doctor today. they diagnosed you with -- >> bob: excuse me. what they diagnosed me with is close to insanity putting up with you people. >> eric: that bad. the romney campaign came back and said this was obama mocking mccain. they were, the campaign was doing the same thing -- >> bob: oh, i see. that's what they say? good, mitty. that's good. >> andrea: you know it's tough to get an ad pulled off of tv. this ad is not going anywhere. >> bob: no. it's all because it shows

something, it shows something about mitt romney, which is the guy cannot say anything straight. he has been conning republicans. 25% might as well give 75% credit for figuring out who the guy is. the fact is he is -- we're going to talk about the poll. >> eric: not yet. >> andrea: i want to talk about this poll. >> kimberly: you are talking about steamrolling tracks dover romney. i don't think so. the latest poll shows obama 45%, romney 44% with a mar jib of error 1.9%. >> eric: we'll get to that. greg, i want to talk -- let me ask andrea. if we arif you are running the y campaign. play the 2009 interchange with obama. this is what i would have on my ad. i just loop this over and over and over. take a look. >> i will held accountable. i've got four years. >> you know how quickly people feel about what is happening. >> that's right. a year from now, i think people are going to see that we're starting to make some progress. but there is still going be some pain out there. if i don't have this done in three years then there will be

a one-term proposition. >> andrea: words to come back to haunt you. >> bob: can we talk about polls or something else? >> andrea: that was in response to the ad that mitt romney cut. he was trying to do the same thing. by saying that john mccain said we don't want to talk about the economy. obama administration doesn't want to talk about the economy or stimulus or obamacare or anything. >> bob: mitt romney doesn't want to say anything that is true. how can you sit here and -- wait a second. the guy puts out an ad that is a lie. plagiarism. >> kimberly: you're right, it's misleading because it's referencing reading what john mccain said. the rest of it is quite compelling. >> bob: you want this guy to be president of the united states? there you go. >> eric: before we move on. >> greg: the poll is from quinnipiac. the more obscure the college the more polls they put out. what is the other one? suffolk?

major in clipboarding holding? >> bob: quinnipiac is one of the oldest, most reliable polls in the country. to show romney is one point of obama. i could have bolling in one point. >> kimberly: carrot top. >> andrea: you think that is positive? >> bob: but the fact obama is not behind by ten points now is amazing. shows how weak the republicans are. >> eric: he is in new hampshire. let me show you -- >> bob: can we talk about polls now? >> greg: we just did. polls are boring. >> andrea: i like them. >> bob: part of politics. >> andrea: we love polls. >> bob: get to it. sure. >> eric: greg, set this up. >> greg: jimmy fallon show, michele bachmann was on as a guest. a lot of time the house band, the roots, will play a song that has something to do with the guest. in this case, the song they used, i can't say the name of it because it's by a great name fish bone but rhymes with

brass witch. they played it as she comes on the set. do we have the tape? here we go. she has no clue. ♪ ♪ >> greg: here is the deal. okay, she has no clue that is going on. i think that is crass in the sense they don't have the guts, they don't have the gults to talk to her. they're in the green room. the band can go to the green room and say i don't like you. instead they say do this instead because they're cowards, wass and they hate conservative women. >> kimberly: i agree with you. thank you for standing up. it's right. disrespectful to her. she was kind now have go on the show. >> bob: kind enough? we spent one minute and 33 seconds on michele bachmann. which is a big waste of time. can we talk about -- >> eric: this is important. >> andrea: bob, enough with the polls. >> bob: we're talking politics. we're talking -- this woman is

gone. >> andrea: i'm not sure in a campaign when you are aware of where michele bachmann is in the polls why would you go on a show and risk being turned into the show. no. >> bob: i have a hard time getting on a local weather channel in suffolk. who is this woman? >> kimberly: what are you talking about? >> greg: that is not the point. the point is how people, entertainers treat conservative women. they never would have done this to nancy pelosi. they never would have done it to michelle obama. it's so sleazy. i don't think they look to apologize. i don't care. >> it's fallen, nbc. >> greg: if you don't like her, tell her you don't like her. >> bob: you are right. i think it is hurtful. bad for conservative women. it shouldn't happen, pick on conservative women. can we get back to the polls?

both sides have a lot of strong feelings about this. as we saw, eric, this weekend, we caught another terrorist plotting an attack. and so should they have not used profiling to catch the guy? >> eric: the whole thing, cair, the organization has been telling the members and various people associated with cair not to cooperate with police. meanwhile, we're constantly catching these people. this guy, the guy they caught on sunday night, i believe, sunday afternoon, was an hour away from planning the bomb that was going to go after a cop, returning military service person. think about what is going on. we had a guy in times square ready to blow up explosives. >> andrea: most muslims are peaceful. it's a radical arm. is the nypd not supposed to

profile that? >> kimberly: that is a very vocal and dangerous minority like the cair group. that is counterproductive to keep the rest of us safe. i guess they don't want it's irresponsible. it's not a dirty word. it's effective use to identify people who pose a risk and credible threat. in this case, the nypd had a tip, they followed it. it's all by the book. the guy confessed to the whole thing, by the way, said it was his words that said he is an hour away from doing this. they waited until he had it completed. they jumped in. excellent police work. cair's comment are dangerous and counterproductive and they put the rest of us in new york in danger. they don't want the nypd to do their job. >> greg: i have to side with cair on this one. i think they should be perpetrated on the amish or scientologists. i don't trust the john

[ laughter ] >> bob: you tease me for being greek. that igreek >> andrea: that is a greek woman you like and know better than you know me. >> bob: there are other two women friends of mine. >> kimberly: changing the subject. >> andrea: awkward. >> bob: what's that? >> kimberly: this is so funny. >> greg: platonic. >> andrea: do you have greek in you? >> bob: when i was drunk. but now i'm sober. >> kimberly: both of them made a little cottage industry out of taking on obama the last couple of years. frankly, the idea of replacing hillary clinton with barack obama is a ridiculous idea, it's not going to happen. we will have barack obama and barack obama will beat the republican so badly that you will be sitting here.

>> eric: i have a lot of problems with obama, too. and this're pease. >> kimberly: you love polls and it shows you have a higher favorability rating than obama. how about that? oh, no, we won't go. the polls. >> bob: we're not getting polls? who is taking this out of here? >> kimberly: i am. >> bob: go ahead. >> kimberly: we're just going back. we have update to the michele bachmann rude story. that's next. we're updating it. that's why. stay with us. ♪ ♪

she was last night. nbc should apologize." >> kimberly: i love this. this is great she showed leadership. obviously, it's the right thing to do. for once, sticking up for conservative woman. if it was anybody else, like you say, pelosi would be outraged. >> andrea: this rarely happens but the congresswoman deserves credit. see if any other female members of congress or -- >> kimberly: how about now? >> andrea: anyone else comes out. >> eric: this one, jimmy fallon was tweeting after the show and said quest love is grounded. >> greg: they said in a statement to hollywood reporter a tongue and cheek, spur of the moment to play the song. you have to rehearse the song. you don't tongue and cheek spur of the moment rehearse. he said the intention was not to hurt her feelings. >> kimberly: it wasn't the show's fault. >> bob: i think you ought to call him out. i'd like to see that. >> eric: clear the air with huffington before we go? >> bob: andrea is in big
