let's dispel with this fiction that barack obama doesn't know what he's doing. he knows exactly what he's doing. here's the bottom line, this notion that barack obama doesn't know what he's do being is just not -- >> there it is. >> anyone who believes that barack obama isn't doing what he's doing on purpose doesn't understand what we're dealing with here. >> driving home the message or stuck on talking points? rubio defends his debate performance as rival chris christie goes for the kill. it's 5:30 on the east coast, 2:30 out west, this is "way too early." >>> good morning. it's monday, february 8th, i'm chris janzing live from manchester, new hampshire. now just a day before the first in the nation primary. we'll get to the super bowl in a second. and a tale of two quarterbacks. cam newton withers under denver's defense. and have we seen peyton manning's last snap under center? but first a quick rundown of some of the latest polls in the new hampshire republican primary tomorrow. cnn/wmur has donald trump with a 17-point lead. 33% to marco rubio's 16%. ted cru

that whole journey of barack obama started nine years ago today. and as president, president obama went back to springfield today to springfield, illinois, to mark the occasion. >> nine years to the day that i first announced for this office, i still believe in that politics of hope. and for all the challenges of a rapidly changing world, and for all the imperfections of our democracy, the capacity to reach across our differences and choose that kind of politics, not a cynical politics, not a politics of fear, but that kind of politics, sustained over the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime, that's something that remains entirely up to us. thank you, illinois. god bless you. god bless america. it's good to see all of you. i miss you guys. >> i miss you guys. president obama speaking to the illinois legislature today. a place where he used to work. among his former colleagues. and when you look at the symbolism and the occasion that president obama marked today, it's fascinating because nine years ago today, from that illinois statehouse, he

meeks: better than barack obama? no, shwould build on what obama has done.g about race relations -- he would be better than barack obama with race, better than hillary clinton with women, better than take kennedy with human rights -- ted kennedy with human rights. mark: what is the difference between better than an building on? representative meeks: the fact of the matter was, if senator sanders was out there to help us elect democrats -- for the fact of the matter, he was an independent. when you help elect democrats as hillary clinton has done, that is how you it things done. she has been out electing democrats so we can give the a partnership that he or she could not have. so we can build upon what president obama has done to get even greater gains. that's not putting something out there that is not real. that is how you really get something done in washington, d.c. when you elect a president without help, without working with the senate, without working with the house, you can't get it done. and barack obama for six years has had an opposition from the r

john: what do you know about barack obama's relationship with bernie sanders? ittle. i know very little about president obama's relationship with bernie sanders. mark: bernie sanders as a candidate -- is he getting better? was the debates as good as it's going to get? he has improved, but is it better? margaret: it was not a great night for him. he seemed to have plateaued, but he may have been waiting to see how to respond to her, anticipating she was looking for a new strategy. his message really is consistently the same. he seems to be a little bit more comfortable on the debate stage, but the question will be his ability to retool when the audience in the states changes, as it is about to do. john: all right, the great margaret talev, thank you for doing this. mark: in politics as in life, you have to feed the beast and in this case the beast is south carolina and the food is the trough of political tv ads. the nominating contest turns south and with so much money being spent on behalf of the candidates, we turn to ken goldstein to put it in perspective. ken

the notion that barack obama doesn't know what he i i doing. he knows exactlyhat he is doing. >> there it is. the memorized, 25 second speech. there it is. >> both rubio and trump took >> we wanted to replay your best lines from the debate saturday night. want to give you the opportunity. rather than repeating that about president obama why not discuss the charge lodged against you thbt you are eloquent but don't have the experience to be president. >> my experience is understood all. all over the website. i was the speaker of the florida house. imminent domain abuse stopped in florida because of me. despite the fact the democrats controlled the senate, i have accomplished things inhe senate, restrictions on hezbollah, the effort for the bailout, the va accountability. but the core out campaign is that statement. i am going to continue to say it. barack obama is deliberately carrying out a strategy to change america. he wants to redefine the country. one of the main reasons i am running. one of the reasonize feello good about our debate perform

do want to continue barack obama's policies or like to go into a more liberal direction than barack obama'sicies? and take a look what we are seeing today. among those who say we should continue obama the policies, 72% are for hillary clinton. 25% are for bernie sanders. take a look among those voters who wanteral than barack obama. bernie sanders. not only do we see hillary clinton wrapping herself in barack obama, but we see the clinton campaign trying to drive a wedge between barack obama and bernie sanders. that he was thinking, perhaps, of maybe primarying him or encourages others to do so, that he called the president weak. the whole litany of stuff that the clinton campaign has been pushing about bernie sanders distancing himself in some way from barack obama being the liber liberal critic of barack obama. this shows why. remaining larger than the universe of voters who want a more liberal direction. we'll see when final numbers come in. that's what they're trying to drive up. >> interesting considering the fact barack obama and hillary clinton were adversaries eight years ago and ta

this is the same argument made against barack obama in 2008. i will assemble a topnotch foreign policy team. and we will provide excellent and strong foreign policy for the people of the united states. we have got to learn the lessons of iraq. that its that the united states of america cannot do it alone. that we have to work in coalition, we have to work in coalition with major countries and with muslim countries whose troops will be on the ground. my main concern, terms of the mideast, is to make certain that the united states does not get involved in perpetual warfare in the quagmire of iraq and syria. in afghanistan. >> you have talked a lot about donations hillary clinton receives from service sector. in debate she called that an artful smear. what is your response to that? >> it is a fact. when in the last reporting period, her superpac received $25 million. $15 million from wall street. what is the smear. that is the fact. >> she says you can't point to a an opinion that she changed, can you? >> nobody who has a superpac, gets money, rep

barack obama.'m not sure where you are going, i want to make that clear. the reason i did it because i had applied -- i was a member of the white house press corps. i had a standing white house pass, went to the briefings every day. i got out of that for my own program, because i could ask questions. i thought i could expand that opportunity by getting a presidential unit -- press credential of the u.s. capitol. i applied, and i was told i had to appear before the full senate reporters accreditation because there were questions about whether or not i qualified. i was told because i gave my opinion -- actually first, i was turned down because i gave my opinion on my show. i may talk show host, of course i give my opinion. i pointed out there were others on the press corps already who i thought should be disqualified. so they gave me a hearing in front of the full accreditation committee. me.vote was 12-1 against al jazeera voted against me. fox news voted against me. c-span, i'mte, from proud to say

carolina democratic primary today tell us they want more liberal policies in the next president than barack obamaess liberal policies. t)wpá that was like compared to iowa and new hampshire. it was about 55% wanted to continue obama's policies in iowa, 40% in new hampshire, 50% in nevada. so again, we are dealing with an electorate here that is much more interested than we've seen in the previous three states in continuing barack obama's policies. now take a look at the ideological makeup of south carolina. this is really interesting, too. 51% of voters in the south carolina democratic primary today call themselves liberal. 49% call themselves moderate or conservative. this also compares interestingly to the previous three states. this is a much more moderate/conservative electorate than we saw in iowa, new hampshire or nevada. >> which is the kind of electorate you're going to see going through the whole south, which is why hillary clinton is looking forward to super tuesday because there are a lot of southern states even though there are also some state náz midwest and the north that bernie san

>> well that's what she said about barack obama in 2008. i'm impressed by the quality of his foreign policy. furthermore, on the most important foreign policy issue, in modern history, the war in iraq, i voted against the war. i led the opposition against the war. and if you go to my website, berniesanders.com, you will see that much of what i feared would happen, in fact, did happen. on the other hand. secretary clinton voted for the war. so, i think it is not just experience, obviously, she has four years. bit is judgment as well. but it is judgment as well. i am confident i can put together a strong team to provide great foreign policy for the people of the united states. >> when you're president and there is a crisis you need to instill confidence in the country. in looking at the debates it is clear you're confident talking economic issues, income inequality. when it comes to foreign policy, you are less confident. how would you, how would you show confidence as a president on the issues? >> john, i think that is a media narrative that

at one level it's like barack obama knows what he's doing. who's the strong man that you are arguing he doesn't know what he's doing. >> the context is marco rubio has been compared to barack obama. on the republican side that's been viewed as a liability. his opponents have used that as a slight. not as a source of any praise. what he does on the stump is try to say, barack obama has been successful at pushing a liberal agenda. he's been successful at changing this country to his view. we need a conservative in the white house like myself, essentially, who will achieve what barack obama has. >> if he were saying that, i would not have said what i have said. he's saying barack obama is undermining the institution. that's an impeachable offense. you don't say that about a sitting president. >> in this establishment lane you have voters i talked to since iowa who are trying to figure out, i'm not a cruz voter. i think donald trump's crazy. where am i suppose to go? no question they were with rubio before this debate. they may still be with rubi

terrys to you, in her speech today, hillary clinton definitely showed she has barack obama's back. is. >> the republicans say they'll reject anyone president obama nominates. no matter how qualified. some are even saying he doesn't have the right to nominate anyone. as if somehow he's not the real president. >> so does hillary clinton get it? does she understand what's important to black voters? >> i think she gets it now. eight years ago, remember, she ran against him stating that who would you want to answer the telephone at 3:00 in the morning? so she gets it now. and that is the part of the process, i think, that we are having to face, but let me say this, too, bernie sanders helped write the affordable health care act. he's not going to dismantle that act. does it need adjusting? i think the president, himself, said there needs to be changing in there and i think that's what bernie sanders is attempting to do. not only that, when you're talking about dreaming and big ideas, who would have thought we'd have a black president eight years ago? barack obama, himself, dreamed big id

his point is barack obama wasn't too inexperienced for the job, barack obama has done everything he's done that's controversial intentionally. that's how he's trying to rebut the argument that a first-term senator is not the right one. >> nobody buys it, sorry, good try. nobody buys it. >> that's a dichbt fferent -- >> no, nobody buys it. nobody buys that that's responsive and he got caught doing exactly what i was saying he's been doing for the whole campaign. >> which reveals what us to us? >> he has no depth and no substance. that's what. he repeats canned lines over and over and over again. he does it all the time. in his town hall meetings. he does it in tv interviews. >> do you ever do that? >> listen, do i say some things the same time? you go to my town hall meetings, i almost never open the same way, almost never close the same way, my answers are different. absolutely. >> how about the people who say it's message discipline? >> how about the people who say it's rorobotic? i don't know. listen, if you like marco rubio anyone you like that. i tell you this, it's not way it wor

then senator barack obama won by 28 points. that was considered a landslide.he will have a much bigger landslide tonight in south carolina over bernie sanders. she just delivered her remarks. and there was a not so veiled reference to donald trump. she said despite what you hear, we don't need to make america great again. america has never stopped being great. but we do need to make america whole again. jake tapper, not so subtle in terms of a reference to donald trump. and she also at the very end she cited first corinthians. not one corinthians. >> right. donald trump having once said two corinthians instead of second corinthians. this is the first time i've heard her talk about corporate responsibility. it's a way of talking about the business world that is different than bernie sanders. it's a way of offering a general election pitch, really. i mean, she is talking about holding businesses accountable. but it's not an antibusiness message. i suspect in the days and weeks to come, we're going to hear more of hillary clinton the general election candidate as

set off a heated debate over if president barack obama should nominate a new justice with less than a year left in his term. mitch mcconnell has been very outspoken, saying the next president should appoint the man or woman who could sit on the bench for administrations to come. since the president's nominee has to be approved by the senate, there are swirling concerns republican senators could stall a confirmation for president barack obama's choice. even senator nelson is concerned that they could delay things. >> i think that's very sad. anything done is when the democrats and the republicans work together. >>reporter: senator nelson says the country can't afford to have a vacancy on the bench for more than a year. >> i want the process to work and to work now, because there's a lot at stake, in the u.s. supreme court. >>reporter: the democrat from florida has voted to confirm nominees from president barack obama and bush, he expects the verbal sparring between the parties to get nasty over this issue, even citing saturday night's republican debate as an example of just how ugly po

and then i looked at barack obama's plan. barack obama's plan, which john kerry later described as unbelievably small. >> and concluded that that attack would not only not help the situation. it would make it actually wowrs. it would allow assad to stand up to the united states of america, survive a strike, stay in power, and actually strengthen his dprip. so it was a difficult decision to make and one we only had a few days to look at and make a decision on and i voted against barack obama's plan to use force and it was the right decision. i want to ask you a question-- dr. carson, you said you have had more 2:00 a.m. phone calls than anybody up on this stage. but when those 2:00 a.m. phone calls came, you operated on a foundation of all of that amazing medical work that you did, all of that learning. so if you were to be president, you wouldn't have the political foundation that hones those instincts when the 2:00 a.m. phone call comes. so isn't that a liability? >> no, it isn't. first of all, let me go back to your first q

candidate is selling out barack obama.k: right now, bernie sanders has money, message, and momentum. but the question, can mojo, the fourth one, go away if he stumbles marco rubio-style? could it? john: i think with all the success that sanders has had, and he came out of new hampshire on a huge high, i think there is greater pressure on him than on her. he has gotten to be a much better debater, but there are still questions. she is usually better when her back is against the wall. she is more natural than he is. he has to keep this momentum going, stay on offense. he is not naturally a candidate that is great on offense against her, because he does not -- he's got to do well. mark: i think they will ask some new topics. knowing them, i think it will bring up stuff that has not come up. hillary clinton, her experience is going to help her. it will be interesting to see if i'm right. tonight, he may get questions he will not have practiced for. it is interesting to see how he does. my fingertip senses that now, if he said

barack obama is really preaching the gospel of civility.d trump won new hampshire. there's a contrast of styles between trump and the president there. i thought it was a historical moment for the president. a journey down memory lane going back to springfield, illinois in the general assembly there. he had valerie jarrett and david axelrod on his side. and it made me realize, every month now, the last february he's president, last march, last april sxwirks think he's deeply disappointed he's not been able to help make the public discourse less poisonous as he put it. he thinks that's the most failed part of his presidency. >> part of that was his mission nine years ago today when he announced he was going to run for president. today he gave that speech. does it feel like an early farewell speech to you? >> it did. i thought it was almost like a farewell address. but i think this president's going to do a few farewell addresses. i promise it won't be a big speech about why we need to be kinder and continue with our immigration policy. we're

what do you know about barack obama's relationship with bernie sanders? >> very little. know very little about president obama's relationship with bernie sanders. >> all right, we'll have to look into it. lastly, on the issue of sanders as a candidate, is he getting better, or is this as good as it going to get? he has improved, but will he get better. >> yeah, i mean, last night was not a great night for him. he seemed to have plateaued, but he may have been waiting for her to respond and she was looking for a new sort of strategy, pitching forward. his message is consistently the same, seems a little more comfortable on the debate stage, but the question is going to be his ability to kind of retool when the audience in these states changes, as it is about to do. >> margaret, thank you for doing this. have a great weekend. when we come back, ken goldstein tells us what's going on, about those campaign ads. after this. ♪ the nissan rogue. with the power and performance of our intuitive all-wheel drive. now get a $189 per month lease on the 2016 nissan rogue. urgent diarr

i mean, barack obama had 239,000 people turn out in 2008. g like, they believe, this is their analysis, what obama had to beat hillary clinton this time around. >> but a much lower turnout overall. >> right. they believe that. >> but to bill's point earlier, the fact that if you have all these younger voter, if they're voting by their college, that's not a good thing. if they're caucuses by their college, that's not a great thing for bernie sanders. he has to get them to go to their home districts. >> spread it out. >> the right number of people in the right caucuses to really get the delegates that you need. and to win these caucuses. and in the course of the campaign, tad devine and jeff weaver are real pros. they know this. and the clinton people know it too. and enthusiasm, as you said, gloria, is great. and bernie's got it. but that's not enough. >> you have to show up. >> you're a clinton supporter, the clinton campaign says they have learned the lessons of 2008. they have taken iowa a lot more seriously. they have a lot of small meetin

barack obama wants to change america.arack obama wants america to be more like the rest of the world. we don't want to be like the rest of the world. we want to be the united states of america. that is why hillary clinton cannot win this election. hillary clinton this week said barack obama would make a great supreme court justice. the guy who systematically violates the constitution on the supreme court? i don't think so. if i'm the nominee, i will unite this party and we'll defeat hillary clinton and turn this country around after serve years of the disaster that is barack obama.

barack obama was in a state like new hampshire, barack obama was winning the college-educated voters. he was winning the upper-income voters. he was losing with the noncollege voters and losing with the lower income voters. the significance when you move outside new hampshire, you think back to 2008. there were a lot of states as this race stretched through april and may and june, a lot of states where hillary clinton was blowing out barack obama. states that had high lower income blue collar white voter populations. pennsylvania, west virginia, kentucky, parts of ohio, appalachia, these were states where barack obama got blown out in many cases. these numbers are suggesting bernie sanders while he still has to make inroads, while he has challenges in a state like south carolina where he's going to need african-american support, this also suggests there are a lot of supports that were not in play for barack obama in 2008 that could be in play for bernie sanders. so we could be seeing a very different kind of coalition here being put together by bernie sanders. >> all right, thank you

donald trump takes aim at president barack obama. >>> jeb bush post a picture on social media. >>> palm mccartney is denied access to a grammys after party. >>> the forecast coming up. >>> yesterday was one of those days that was going nonstop. morning about potential for strong to severe storms and we cut into national cbs this morning to give you a heads up about the tornadoes or possible tornadoes that later were confirmed. now everyone is picking up the pieces. thankfully the weather is cooperating as we continue to assess the damage and destruction left behind. i'm happy to share with you that this morning we are enjoying a nice quiet start. yesterday was one of those days we had the f-1 tornado in broward and palm beach -- pompano beach counties. that was from 710 to 7 like 16 -- 7:10-7:16. and 7:51-7:59 was the second one. weather and also across the gulf coast into the panhandle. you might wonder what's going on. why are we seeing these twisters during the winter? we can blame it on the strong el nio. we have the warm ocean water in the pacific that leads to the subtropical jet

barack obama, i actually respect that barack obama's committed to his ideas. i think his ideas are profoundly harmful to this country. have done enormous damage. he's committed. barack obama will crawl over broken glass with a knife between his teeth and the reason we keep getting our lunch eaten is republican leadership walks in, surrenders before they say good morning. and that doesn't work. >> they did that on health care, executive amnesty. >> yep. >> and i think that's -- that goes back to the original point. i think that's why we are where we are today and seems it's a battle of insurgents. you're making the case you're the insurgent that can get the job done as a conservative. and i guess you would say that donald trump is probably more of a populist? >> i would say it a little differently. donald trump is adopting the rhetoric of a populist. donald trump, like hillary clinton, is a rich new york liberal. >> that's about the worst thing you can say to a republican primary candidate. >> sean, thankfully you're a rich new york conservative who's soon goin

this was the big win for barack obama in 2008. nobody thought it was going to be this lopsided. he won by 38 points. the green counties were the obama counties in 2008. he won most of the state. a couple things to focus on that we're looking at tonight. this was hillary clinton's only win in 2008. the purple was john edwards, he grew up in that area, in south carolina. but, the interesting thing to keep an eye on here is sort of, this section of the state, roughly speaking, there's heavy black populations in here. jim clyburn, the only democrat, the only african-american in south carolina's congressional district, represents a lot of this. these were barack obama's best counties. there are five counties roughly in this area where barack obama got more than 70% of the vote against hillary clinton in 2008. they were hillary clinton's worst counties and barack obama's best counties. what we're looking at tonight with the clinton campaign focusing so much on the black vote, this could be her best area of the state tonight. basically, where she lost it in 2008 could be where she wins

barack obama has no coat tails.nt to think about that before she ties herself to closely to him. >> i think you are right. what she is doing now is designed to get minority voters to put her into the nomination and that's going to work. all right, number one so if she gets the nomination, then barack obama, when he is useful to her. in certain places. >> yes. >> will be brought up. but she will start to distinguish herself from him had on foreign policy, has to do that. has to. >> i agree. >> on the border. and maybe on a few other things. >> i agree completely. when he is useful, she will attach herself to him and hang out black vote. when he is not, you know,. >> who? >>9 who? >> and we're not pointing out mrs. clinton with any scorn, all politicians do this kind of stuff. i mean, that's just the name of it. >> but when it comes to race, all politicians pander, but when it comes to race, democrats are in a class all by themselves. >> all right. bernie goldberg, everybody. when we come right back, bernie and rivera
