they think obama didn't study. they think obama didn't care enough. they think obama whatever.s long as romney shows up as he shows up last night, they don't have a chance. >> what do you think, juan? >> you know what? obama definitely has to be more energetic. he's got to take -- present fire and fight and bring the argument to mr. romney. >> he needs to be the old obama from that 2007 speech. >> yeah. >> put some lies out there. >> bill maher and chris rock said they want the old obama back. >> you said that earlier, i believe. the georgetown university professor, michael eric bison said that was the whole problem, that barak obama didn't want to come off as angry. and those videos and he blamed it on fox news and sean hannity for airing it, ruined the mojo for the president. >> we might have found out why president obama was having such a hard time last night. can you roll the video of the last one we have lined up? >> keeping me indoors all the time. it's a drag. [ laughter ] they're making me do my home homework. >> waaa. making me do my homework. i don't know. look, if yo

barack obama. consistent with all of the various reactions from the left and right so far, a very good night for mitt romney, not very good for the president of the united states. >> those poll numbers are telling. >> in polarized america, for any candidate to get above 50% are huge. 45%, 43%, solid republican. >> are those undecided voters? >> registered voters who watched the debate. a lot of president's supporters say he got spanked tonight. >> it tightens -- what this means, it's likely as we saw in 2004, when john kerry won the first debate, that the polls will tighten a bit, and -- but it also means to me that the obama campaign can't press the delete button fast enough on this debate and they will go out there and they will erase it. and they will go on the attack and they are very good at doing that, and the president can be good at doing that. it may get him back on his game. >> may not change the numbers very quickly. but it does prompt a lot of people to do, i need to take a second look.

are you moving towards obama? >> obama?more on his game about showing the nonspecific nature of romney, he's not giving anything. >> you want obama to attack? >> absolutely. >> you want obama to attack? >> i want him to give the truth there. is a lot of truth being misrepresented by both sides not showing how anything can be done. >> you're the youngest person here, you moved towards rom fee tonight what. advice do you have for barack obama? >> he needs to change his demeanor, romney looking at obama and people. and looked like obama was sitting there being scolded and had his head down, wasn't looking and looking around trying to look aimlessly. he wasn't looking at the opponent or hardly ever looked at the people. he was looking down. >> and he was meek. and instead of looking out and appearing strong, confident he backed away. >> when you have a chance to talk about this as the election goes ahaechld you dwiz are great. i want to charge the university one of the best folk use groups i've had. who won the debate? >> romne

barack obama would win based upon the superior effort of the obama campaign at this point and in turning out early voters. >> evan ? >> obama, but we still have a way to go. >> nina? >> i hate doing this, but obama because of the crown them. >> colby? >> national tracking polls has of them close, but the key battleground states, obama still holds a lead. >> what is the ground game, mark? >> the organized effort over months to identify and not only support -- identified not only supporters, but leaners, and persuade them on how one by one retail basis. weeks before election day, you know who your voters are. you want to be sure you get the vote. >> in many of the battle ground states, obama has more field offices. >> it is down to micromanaging, micro-issuing these of votes. interestingly, the republicans had a better ground game in 2004, and a lot of people think that is why and they won that close election. it sort of fell into disrepair today are building it back up now, but i don't think they are anywhere near where obama is yet. >> there is another question. which candidate has the m

cricket from obama side. but i thought obama was trying to be mitt romney.cuts are better. he wasn't the hope and change kind of guy. he really was trying to imitate mitt mz. the piece on the chinese investment that was my second favorite. besides the hypocrisy aspect, when obama doesn't even look at it. he doesn't even look at his pension. if he isn't worried about his own money he isn't going to be worried about ours. >> i thought the exchange on the pension i don't look at my companies my mutual fund is investing in either. >> you and puppy mills. >> yes, in china. >> but dana, you would never say yours is bigger than mine. >> do you read about that thing, lack of interruption. romney has to do with more with less. democrats have spoken significantly longer than republican candidates. so he -- when you allow him to speak it is pretty good. >> when romney said all have those things, a republican candidate for mayor says those things. >> if they were running against obama, yes. >> it seemed to me that romney has a photographic memory. >> from the this show

obama has to plan on the obama campaign and improving. the problem solving, the fixer, the guy who is excited with ideas is a very attractive candidate. if they can make the spotlight of the campaign on that with this new interest they're going to generate, they're going to do pretty well. the obama guys will try to use paid advertising and other things to move the campaign into other stuff. but i think we now have a different more competitive race and we'll see what happens. >> rose: katty. >> before i freeze out here today, i'm blaming the cold. the obama campaign has spent millions of dollars successfully making mitt romney unacceptable as a choice to the american public. tonight mitt romney made himself acceptable in the course of a 9 0-minute debate. >> rose: thank you, you're cold. >> it gets better and better. i think we saw people in each party say well obviously our candidate barely has a tongue, we don't know if they'll be able to. but it was skewed and what the obama team had an opportunity to do with a good debate was sort of

. >> an amore assertive president obama. >> obama clearly had a good night. >> it was an act of terror he did call it an act of terror. >> on the question of libya both the president and romney were wrong. >> i'm still trying to get the hang of this thing debating. >> time for him to put together a vision of what he did in the final four years. >> i'll keep improving as time goes on. i have one left. >> we have this show. >> cenk: i hear you on that. although you didn't love what you heard last night. the script began as it did in the first debate as it did between mitt romney and abraham. mitt romney came out strong. here's what happened in the first question. >> romney: i know what it takes to create good jobs again. i know what it takes to make sure that you have the kind of opportunity that you deserve and kids across this country are going to recognize we're bringing back an economy. it's not going to be like the last four years. the middle class has been crushed over the last four years, and jobs have been too square. when do you graduate? 2014 when you come out in 2014 i presume

at one me to do obama? -- want me to do obama? he gets the most widely respected and almost neutral economic orbiter, the highest approval rating, 69% who is taken and associated with this period of peace. he can talk owls down from the trees. the best spokesman in the history of the world. and to make his case for working-class and middle-class voters. they found it hard reach as a candidate in 2008 and as president. he gets a huge boost toward his reelection. he gets a big boost in what will be a very tight race. tavis: what does it say about our politics that the first african american president, even after one term, still leave the white guy to get him elected to a second term? >> i think bill clinton will set the default is barack obama's. you hear all these things about president clinton, about how he doesn't take care of his daughters and dozen jews enough on capitol hill. he thinks that president obama has failed to go out and sell the policies of the country. to make a clear and convincing educational argument for the obv

much more fun than obama. but he is still a surrogate and there's only so much that the surrogates can do. the candidate himself still has to -- chris: i agree. >> let's just look at this miracle. chris, you've gone back in politics a long way. this was a bitter rivalry and they put it past them, all of them. they had the emotional maturity, this duo -- this trio, to decide country first. i have to say, i've been a longtime clinton skeptic and not particularly liker. i think the maturity of those three people the last four years has been remarkable. chris: the key is the solididity of the party. >> welcome back. john, tell me something i don't know. >> clinton is doing a lot of stuff for president obama, raising a lot of money. he's in a lot of the ads. look, you've still not done a joint campaign event so far. there's time reserved in the homestretch. you're going to see bill clinton and barack obama together a lot. chris: like the old motorcades with ike and dixon, the canons of new york. i love it. tell me

face so the chairman of the joint chiefs was obama, the secretary of state was obama. it sort of captured -- obama has this fantasy, he didn't kill bin laden. the u.s. navy s.e.a.l.s did. he didn't find bin laden. an enormous intelligence effort over a long period did. if you read the remarkable recent book "the finish" by mark bowden who earlier had done "blackhawk down" you get a sense of the effort that went into tracking down and killing bin laden. i don't take anything away from the president for making the decision to do it but i think it would be pretty hard for a president not to have decided to go after bin laden once they found him. >> yes, but let's be honest. if it was the other way round and mitt romney was the incumbent president and he had taken out bin laden, he would be talking about nothing else. it's all politics, isn't it, at the end of the day. let's get down to nitty-gritty here. let's move on to ohio. because it's getting increasingly clear it's going to be a very, very tight race. may all come down to ohio. how important is this whole issue of t

two benefiting president obama. new hampshire went from tossup to lean obama. mexico went from lean obama to obama. one change in status benefiting romney. went from lean obama to tossup. romney gained in colorado, ohio, virginia, and wisconsin, all battleground states. but no change in the status in those. missouri and nevada became stronger for obama. no change in status for those. >> bret: of that, joe. what do you see as important? >> all the states move to romney even though they haven't changed status matter. but ohio is the real interesting thing, because when you look at it, both karl and i threw out a marist poll that happened some time ago with eight-point lead for obama. we threw that out. moving as a tossup today. that would be very significant. when you look at a trend line of ohio, though, throughout the whole campaign, romney has never actually crossed in the lead there in the average of real clear politics average of the trend line. is that moving? because right now the line if you look at them are starting to go closer together again like after

obama did not do his best. we will see what happens in the next couple of debate, but he did not do his best by any standard of a definition. i was falling would ever be as saying on twitter. chris rock doing so bad that he was waiting before the debate was over for obama to bend down and pull up osama bin laden's skull. that was his trump card, if you will. i raise that because you mentioned osama bin laden. there was a time in this country's past when, if the sitting president had held up osama bin laden's skull, he probably could have gone away with anything. does president obama at this point get any credit for killing enemy number one? >> i would say that he gets responsibility and accountability. the joke was funny, but the reality is that what amounted what was a cold-blooded assassination when there was no resistance from the principal target, when there was no effort to fight back, according to the soldiers carrying out the mission, to assassinate him on the spot, dispose of the body at sea is not some

-- ahead of barack obama. tightening? yes, but hardly -- >> romney was dead in the water before that first debate. he had a surge. i tended to think that the searches over -- surge is over. but that is what made him a contender. >> what is it about that debate that changed the tide? is this's arrogance single biggest problem. it showed him a sleepy, sort of why am i here? even in the last debate, which he won, but he was a bit too much of a put down artist, and that especially with women voters is a problem. >> it wasn't just that obama did poorly. it is that romney did well and became, as mark said, moderate mitt. that is where people in the republican party traditionally .ove after the primary da he had been savaged by obama in an avalanche of ads, and he redeemed himself in that debate. >> we have this fiscal problems of living on january 2 report by the national association of manufacturers saying that the fiscal cliff is already hurting the economy. more than 80 ceo's are coming to put heat on congress. where is this

it was do-over obama today. it was kind of like the guy who has all his come-backs five minutes too late, and he had all his come-backs on the campaign trail today, calling mitt romney a whole new person, different kind of candidate, and you saw a very much more aggressive president obama, and i think that's what you will see two weeks from now when he shows up at the next debate with romney in new york. >> jim, on the campaign trail, governor romney today more energized? >> absolutely, anderson. we were with him on his campaign plane during the day and as he got on the plane, he was smiling, he was laughing with his campaign staff. there was a spring in his step. there was an air of confidence in this campaign that i haven't seen in several weeks and in talking to senior romney advisor eric fehrnstrom, he said to me if this was a prize fight, they would have stopped the fight. that's how well they think mitt romney did. they're not going to be taking their foot off the gas pedal, i can tell you that the romney

real has it 2% to obama. there is a reason why both campaigns are moving back to wisconsin spending a lot of money. it's closer. >> dana: do you think it what to do with paul ryan as choice of the v.p.? >> greg: probably. i'm more upset that obama supported the detroit tigers in the world series. could it be that detroit is in a swing state? perhaps. >> kimberly: giants! >> greg: i told tina the giants won and she was terrified. it explained they're not real giants, dana. it brought up something -- it's a team. not big giant people over 5'6". "new york times" reporter tweeted about the race saying it was like watching the 2008 race in reverse. that would be for thepedia. because they're watching their guy who was ascending decrepitting. however it's not in -- ascending, descending. but however it's not in reverse. except for mitt is hope and change. the momentum you saw four years ago. >> kimberly: romentum. >> bob: romney picked up some, say, three to four points since the first debate. obama hasn't descende

president obama in iowa today. mr. romney was in nevada and colorado yesterday and will be and i what today. there are nine states considered battlegrounds. we kick off our coverage of them all. we will begin a florida later on on "washington journal." talking to people on both sides of the aisle. we will begin with those late the ciders. how did you make up your mind? or if you think you are going to make up your mind and the last 13 days, we want to assure you as well. if you are supporting governor 1.mney called calle202-585-388 if you are supporting obama call 202-585-3880 0. if you are supporting another candidate call 202-585-3882. go to twitter.com campaign 2012. how did you make up your mind and when? since the first presidential debate how and when did you make up your mind? late decider is only. or if you think you were going to make up your mind during the next 13 days. here is the wall street journal. candidates a bottle to lock up key states. mitt romney will spend much of the final two weeks of the campai

under obama 77.9% increase. they have to be ecstatic with obama. but they're not.e, more, more. and obama has the nerve to once slightly criticize them. this is what he said. >> did i not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on wall street. >> cenk: oh, my god how can he call them fat cats! you are fat cats! even if you think you're doing the right thing you're enormously wealthy. that's what a fat cat is. boo-hoo their feelings were hurt. the business who gave president obama $14.5 million in the last election cycle all of a sudden redirecting that money to mitt romney. romney has $18.3 million that he's raising from wall street, and president obama is down to $5.5 million, which is still a ton of money, but still $9 million less than he raised last time from wall street. in order to talk about this, etc. bring in an exert. bill cohen. he has best selling book "money and power: how goldman sachs came to rule the world" great to have you again. >> always great to be here. >> cenk: is it that stupid fat cat--i don't mean stupid by president ob

obama. what did she tell you about what it's like for her out there on the campaign trail? >> reporter: you know, i asked her about ann romney's claim when ann romney pressed back about her own husband's critics and ann romney said campaigning is hard. i said does she share that sentiment. here was mrs. obama's response. >> ann romney recently said about the critics of her husband -- to her husband's critics that running for president is hard. do you sympathize with that? >> you know, the campaign experience is unique for everyone. everyone comes to this and experiences it differently. for me i really enjoy campaigning. i think barack and i we both get energy from it because when you live in washington, sometimes you get isolated from the rest of the country. and this is a time when we get out and we can remember just how decent people are. i come across people i don't care what political party they come from, they are hopeful. they're happy to see you. they're willing to listen. and it's go

obama can still lose this. you're not going to hear dave plouffe say that but the polls and the swing states, there's a percentage that has not yet broken, not saying where they're going to vote. and history tells us that at the end of elections in which you have headwinds against an incumbent, most of the last-minute break goes against the incumbent. you can say two-thirds go against the incumbent. in states where obama's maybe even in the lead but only got 47%, 46% of the vote he could lose that state if he doesn't have enough early votes in the bank and unexpected voters in the bank. i do think in is clear that right now, as we stand, you know, romney would rather be obama than romney. but again, that doesn't mean -- >> that may be true existentially. >> trying to become obama with the policy position. >> glenn, you know, to that romney narrative, that this sort of we are insurgents, this is happening for us, that is as much to drive home the narrative republicans want to believe and we'll maybe get voters o

care and i have become fond of this term, obama care. >>> as you heard, president obama is embracinga care. it was just a glimpse at president obama and mitt romney's battle over health care last night but it got a lot deeper than that. obama care and medicare and medicaid and private insurance and preexisting conditions and lions and tigers and bears all of it fair game on the debate floor. >> no change for current retirees and retirees to medicare and the president supports taking 716 billion out of that program. >> it wouldn't keep up with health care inflation. it was estimated it would cost the average consumer 600,000 a year. >> it would cost more than than traditional insurance. >> everybody has shown it has lowered than private insurance does. >> it makes your head spin especially since it came late in the debate. sifting through all of that is a mixed bag of truths and i hate to say it, big lies. our senior medical correspondent is here to break down the fact from the fiction, elizabeth cohen. lep me sort through the biggest claim i kept hearing. 716 billion. he is going to

a third had president obama up by four points. it is a vital state and the candidates are going to have to fight for it hard. president obama held his 17th ohio campaign rally this evening. today is the last day of voter registration in the buckeye state and the president pushed that message. >> ohio, i'm asking you for your vote. if you're willing to stand with me and work with me, knock on some doors and make some phone calls for me, we'll win franklin county again. we'll win ohio again. we'll win this election again. we'll finish what we started and we'll remind the world why the united states of america is the greatest nation on earth. >> mitt romney knows his chances of winning the presidency are slim without ohio, regardless of what the national polls say. romney scheduled multiple events in the state of ohio over the next several days as well as events in other swing states. he was in iowa today making the hard sell for voters to abandon president obama. >> i want to ask you for a commitment. that's for you to find one pers

obama has much to say in his defense.e inherited the economic carnage of a recent republican president, a catastrophic loss of jobs, a collapse in the u.s. stock market, the death rattle of the auto industry. he, barack obama, then brought a financial and economic collapse back from the brink, changed the course of the economy from job destruction to job creation, doubled the american stock market, saved the auto industry. he did it all with a dramatic change of policy, a stimulus program that varied 180 degrees from the austerity measures that have humbled europe. an intervention into the auto industry that reinvigorated an industry that means pride to americans. obama needs to make this defense, he needs to underline the fact that his opponent and his party fought him every inch of the way. on the stimulus, on the auto industry, on health care, on equal pay for women, and that it disagrees on fundamental ways on the future course of american economic policy. on health care, on medicare, on social security, on equal pay

and obama made two decisions. going in alliance with other countries around the world and literally saved the fortunes of a lot of these people. but he made a second decision. there were progressives who thought we should have asked more questions about how did we get into this mess in the first place and president obama didn't go there because his advisers were worried if you push the system too hard, it might collapse. and so here are folks whose fortunes were saved in significant part by the president's policies and they are complaining because he doesn't say thank you to them. it's very strange. >> these guys got exactly what they wanted and just won't admit it. let's play more sound from sam zell. >> we need leadership, not criticism. until that scenario changes, i think the united states is, quote, unquote, and i hate to use this word, in a malaise. >> what the hell is he talking about? he's being criticized and president obama hasn't provided leadership. your thoughts on this. >> in that piece, she notes th

caller: i voted for obama. i voted for president obama. but, you know, we keep saying we are undecided. i think most of us have already made up our mind. we are looking for a reason to justify voting for either president obama or mitt romney me. -- mitt romney. host: you haven't found a justification? caller: people keep saying we are looking at these records. we understand what president obama has done. and the obscene what mitt romney has done -- and we have seen what mitt romney has done. we as people who say we are undecided -- we already know who we are going to vote for. do you know from the debate last night, i am going to let president obama finish what he started. i really think that it is born to turn around. you have to give things a chance as brigade with president bush. we continued to let him start a war that did not even a factor into the 911. iraq had nothing to do with afghanistan. that is where the problem started. i think we need to give president obama a chance. and you know for yourself -- you know for yourself that wh

obama called out and president obama pushed back on.ch. >> the president began what i call an apology tour, going to the various nations in the middle east and criticizing america. >> nothing governor romney said is true. starting with this notion of me apologizing. this has been probably the biggest whopper that has been told during the course of this campaign. >> mr. president, the reason i call it an "apology tour" is because you went to the middle east and you flew to egypt, and to saudi arabia, and to turkey and iraq. you skipped israel, by the way, our closest friend in the region. you went to the other nations. they noticed you skipped israel. >> eric: they noticed. israel noticed and so did all of our enemies. >> bob: he was in israel doing a fundraiser, the fact he did stop and talked to one u.s. troop in afghanistan -- >> dana: there is only one candidate who has taken foreign money in this campaign. >> bob: excuse me. >> dana: not romney. >> bob: romney had a fundraiser in jerusalem. >> eric: stay on president obama. >> bob:

in town with obama the whether obama should have dealt with him. it was one of the mono and obama fell short. >> the result is historical unique. in the 50 years of presidential debates, and nothing there has ever been a debate where there was such a decisive win in an absence of gaff. if you have something like four with eastern europe, or others along the way, it is decisive. it is usually a muddled outcome, or just one bad moment, like i knew jack kennedy. there was not a sound bite in this. one other point, the moderator. i know jim lehrer has taken a lot of abuse because he lost control of the debate. we want the moderate enough to be in control. why should be in control of the debate? the debate ought to be about the participants. if the moderator ever in the future says, we have got to stop this and move on, i would like to hear one candidate say, why? besides we have to have six segments instead of five. >> the criticism of jim lehrer is -- from time to time, obama would look at him saying, help me, jim. mitt is not playing fair. >> in that

what do you expect out of obama?ain said romney should make it clear he is not interested in fighting every fight and he has a policy of strength, peace through strength. as far as the president's concerned, let me just finish, as far as the president is concerned he said he thinks that president obama has been less than transparent with the american people. i bumped in to senator graham. he was vehement how important the debate was defining the foreign policiful he feels that obama's group is trying to redesign romney in a way he doesn't need to be defined on his own. a lot on the foreign policy debatech >> bob: i have two questions. how many pictures did you have taken down there? did you run in to any democrats by chance? >> eric: i did. glad you asked. so far i have been tweeting pictures. candy crowley -- >> dana: how did that go? >> eric: i did. i bumped in to generaler the sak frish if obama campaign. what do you think president obama will say to define his person sol? she said he's already done that. with ira

president obama take it away. >> obama: governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military's changed. we have these things called aircraft carriers where planes land on them. we have the ships that go underwater nuclear submarines. >> cenk: oh! mitt, welcome to the middle of the ring. oh no! look what's happening! god, i love that line. that was my favorite line. actually, i think it was one of the best lines i've seen in a debate in a long time. romney makes the mistake of challenging president obama on israel. saying he hasn't gone there enough. here's his response. >> obama: when i went to israel as a candidate. i didn't take donors, i didn't teafned fund-raisers. i went to the holocaust museum there to remind myself the nature of evil and why our bond with israel will be unbreakable. that's how i have used my travels. >> cenk: oh! there's mitt romney in the middle of the ring. oh, no! here comes! now, another thing that i've been saying throughout this campaign in fact we just did if i were obama about it. bush and cheney, they have the same advis

obama is very beatable this year, but the key is to make obama the issue. make this an election of obama versus obama. lou: this thought. the opportunity to speak with you. always great to see you, but i think it is instructive as well that governor romney dominated the evening and seize the moment as well as the lead when he stood on the stage alone with president obama without support, without people helping and crossed the finish line. i thought maybe there is a great lesson in that for the governor and for his campaign. good to see you. >> a pleasure. lou: up next, as if the liberal slant of the presidential debate moderator is or not enough, new reports reveal one moderator in particular knows the president pretty well. president obama claims he was being too polite in last week's debate. amazing how it took so long for that to occur. the "washington post" as a somewhat different take on his posted declines. we will share those with you. coming up tomorrow, president obama dropping in the polls facing serious questions about a cover-up and libya. forme

obama is not a good debater. it is not that obama was off his game. that is his game. he does not have a prompter, he is not good. you see this in press conferences, where he does not have a prompter. he had never been good at press conferences. he rambles, the press is always unimpressed with him. this was a situation where yet more control of the debate, because he picks the questionnaire, and he can decide how long he wants to take for the answer. his only advantage in the next debate will be this. it will be in a town hall. he has got more ability to connect with an audience than romney. he will have an advantage in the second debate that he did not have been the first. >> would you rather be good or lucky? 7.8% unemployment rate. that is pretty good news. >> unless you look at the actual numbers. if you look at those with new jobs, about 114,000. you have to have 150,000 to stay at the same rate. what has been happening is you have people leaving the work force, retiring, or read a wait a minute, nina -- or when you become chronically unemployed, over the one year

with the obama campaign.n terms of them labeling mitt romney as more of a right wing person. more in line with house republicans. but so now you have him coming out and shifting some position on, as you said, healthcare, seeming to hug the president all last night on foreign policy and then on immigration, even softening his stance there. talking about abortion in a different way. emphasizing different things. much to the dismay of some conservatives. i think last night you saw conservatives get kicked under the bus. but i think at this point republicans are sensing that mitt romney is the only one that has some momentum. if you look at certain national polls at least. and they feel like they can look away from what had been his shifting more moderate stances. now the democrats' challenges are to say no, no, no. this isn't the real mitt romney. the moderate mitt romney as bill clinton has said. where you been, boy? the real mitt romney is the one who had expressed much more conservative -- severely conservati

where was obama tonight? he should watch -- well not just "hardball", rachel, he should watch you, the reverend al, lawrence, there's a hot debate going on in this country, here on this network is where we're having the debate. we have our knives out we go after the people and the facts. what was he doing tonight? he went in there disarmed. he was wait an hour and a half, i think i can get through this thing. where as romney. i loved the split screen, staring at obama, addressing him. he did it just right. i'm coming at an incumbent. i've got to beat him. and i don't care what this guy moderator whatever he think he ises because i'm going to ignore him. what was romney doing? he was winning. >> he was winning tonight. that's my thought. >> you give him five more of these nights, forget it. >> it puts the pressure on the president. >> obama should wash msnbc. he will learn something every night. this stuff we're watching, this is like first grade to most of us. we know all of this stuff. >> i was in front of a
