>> andrea: no. obama.1996, why did he say another staffer filled out the form and he's not in favor. he has been all over the map. here is the issue with president obama. he overpromised in 2008. all of our wildest dreams would come true. that hasn't happened because he set expectations so high, so many people are still -- >> bob: join the debt. he is going to hand mitt romney his head. not shave it like he did to the kid. >> kimberly: i want to getter rick in here. talk about something positive. rich people. eric, does the u.s. benefit having a class of rich people? we have a poll out on that. 53% says it benefits. 34% say no. no then it be there. this is a gallup poll. bob? >> bob: it makes sense. rich class is good because it creates jobs. >> greg: wow! i don't think you said that before. >> bob: it doesn't mean they pay their fair share. >> kimberly: but they are. >> bob: how do you assume? >> kimberly: what is the per sean tage that pay taxes? >> eric: 53% pay taxes. 47% pay no taxes. >> greg: the big

andrea: it could have been you. >> eric: my gosh.ou're the father of the 10-year-old watching a 21 -- >> greg: the father should have told the kid to pipe down this is a public place. >> andrea: i behave more like the children in movie theaters, so when some kid is loud, i go rat on them. i go to the usher. excuse me in row seven there a s a kid being very, very loud. >> kimberly: right. >> bob: let's start with what it look like in movie line. all the guys, it doesn't matter what color they, are they have their pants down around their knees. they got baseball hats that are on crooked and they leave them on in the movies. as far as i'm concerned, i'd take tasers if it were up to me. movie theriots are impossible. teenagers are impossible to listen to. their girlfriends are ugly. >> kimberly: my gosh! >> bob: all they do is cause trouble. they shouldn't there in the first power. tasers. >> andrea: bob for ushers as amc theater. >> eric: i know you're kidding about the tasers. >> bob: i'm not. >> eric: say a 21-year-old guy shouldn't s

andrea, bob? >> andrea: memorial day is my favorite holiday. not because it's the kickoff to summer, it's important but to honor troops. all the patriotic holidays. veterans day, another day off and it is but there is more than that. thank a veteran. >> eric: greg said last week if you see a veteran or in uniform, buy them a beer, buy them lunch. >> greg: make sure he is really in the army. not going to a weird party. >> andrea: army fatigue. i have seen greg walk around the city pretending to be a seasonal. freddie that is only during the parade. >> andrea: i bought you too many words and found out you weren't in the navy. >> greg: i know the words to it. >> bob: the liberal here is the only one wearing red, white and blue. greg is wearingpick. >> greg: there this is salmon. >> andrea: bob. red on the nail. white. kimberly is in blue. >> kimberly: there you go. >> eric: i was a kid, memorial day closed down. we all went to the parade. now they use memorial day to sell a lot of stuff. particularly car dealerships. anybody who buys a car on memo

>> andrea: you don't? being safe? >> bob: you take it all out and down to discretionary spending of 13%. all the rest goes to things you love. there you go. >> dana: go to politicalmath.com. it follow his charts and he can explain things go zo well. go to the website and check out number numbers from his perspective. he has a debt and deficit road trip that explains to you in a way i can understand. what has happened. plus in the political analysis -- i don't know why the white house led with this. this is ling with his chin. he doesn't take the hit for the original tarp payment but gets benefit from the repayment of that the banks made. the "washington post" says the fact check beginning analysis was bad, end numbers are bad. everything in between didn't add up. >> bob: he paid off the tarp but it was started by president bush. >> eric: the first part. >> dana: why do you get the benefit? >> andrea: you can't have both ways. >> eric: stimulus didn't count toward spending in >> bob: it does. >> eric: but the jobs that

>> andrea: they did find one. >> eric: did they? >> andrea: this is like the dog incident.ry time democrats and the left wing media tries to go after mitt romney like they did putting his dog on the roof. we found out obama ate the dog. now "washington post" going after romney for bullying a supposed homosexual. we found out that obama bullied a girl named claretta. they pulled up the story. to me this is hearsay journalism. abc news i guess contacted the person who wasn't at the even event. this is the mccain story the "new york times" did. drive-by journalism. sources backed them up. >> bob: what do you mean? they had people there. >> andrea: he came out today and said i wasn't there. i have a friend of a friend who told my friend. >> bob: if romney did then what he is doing today it would be felony. bullying a gay person is a hate crime. he should be ashamed. >> eric: nobody knew this guy is or was gay. he has passed now. according to mitt romney no one knew he was gay at the time in high school. >> greg: do you blame romney for his death, bob? >> bob: no, i don't. >> da

>> andrea: yes.ourage will smith to live in paris, france, as i did so i can make fun of frenchies because i speak french. that was funny when he realized the number 75. he could haven't be will smith in france. there are french celebrities but the crpees are great. but the taxes are not great there. the job market not great in france. healthcare in france, not great. he could not have gone from the fresh prince of bel air to where he is now. >> greg: he admits that. i don't think the government owes the gratitude. >> i am very confused. i know i'm sitting in for bob. i look outside and see new york around me. are we in france? are we suggesting we have 75% tax? no. we are in the united states. >> andrea: pretty close. >> i live in los angeles. california is tough. he is talking about 30%. 30% in the united states. not 75%ment talking about how great the nation is. we're not proposing what france is proposing. >> what are they proposing? >> eric: they are trying to propose 30%. trying to raise the ca

>> andrea: no. the answer is no. >> brian: what if he was a fast runner. >> andrea: no.ng to your event either. this is disturbing. i agree with you. i can understand, eric, why the dad said okay, you can go. it's so different. i didn't see a picture of her. first thing i said, i bet she is hot. look at her. she is attractive. she is 41 years old. here is the weirdest part, folks. she has a child who is on the track team. uncomfortable for her kid to know her mom is on the track team -- >> brian: the team is very successful. >> andrea: she is at the end of the finish line going go, boys, go. >> bob: she is older than my parameters. >> bob: what is your story? >> brian: how do you relate to it? >> bob: when i was in college, a friend of my family called and said the daughter couldn't get a date to the prom so i took her to the prom. we wore purple. >> brian: how did it go? >> bob: i really don't want to get into that with you. >> dana: we could raffle off for charity a chance for someone to go to prom with you. in your disco suit! >> eric: you'd get in trouble. apologize

andrea: yeah.er employment is a problem. people with college and master degrees mowing lawns and serving up pizza. that is a big issue. with the millenials, what greg is touching on, generation fed if college you get out an you get a corner office and everybody gets a trophy generation that needs tons of praise. they're realizing the reality. and that is you can go and protest, but there really aren't the jobs you study for. you're in the going to be a ceo when you get out of office. it wrote a column a year-and-a-half on this. millenials maybe getting humble pie isn't a bad thing. serving sandwiches at quiznos may not be bad. we did it for summers. pew the kids have a spoiled mentality. hannity is talking to one of them and there is a lot more. >> eric: hold on. you sent this out. this is a fantastic op-ed. bret stevens in the "wall street journal" today on the kids graduating. pretty telling, the job market from 2012. >> dana: the numbers for people just graduating or graduating in the last three

a slanderous statement. >> andrea: no, it's not. >> bob: it is. >> andrea: if you dig deeper you cand -- >> eric: i don't want the taxpayer money funding the organization that are dealing in the gender selection. or things that are questionable that are against my beliefs. >> kimberly: we have to go. this is a hotly contested issue. now we see the impact and what is happening in terms of with women, the higher favorability rate something far for romney. but president obama has taken several victory laps for killing bin laden. why isn't he standing up for pakistani doctor who helped us hunt him down? shakil afridi will be locked up in pakistani prison for 33 years. does he deserve more from the administration? that's next on "the five." stay with us. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> eric: welcome back, everybody. as you probably know, this pakistani doctor shakil afridi who helped track down and kill bin laden is sitting in jail for the next several decades. president obama has not said a word on his behalf. but i also assure you remember the narcissist in chief hasn't missed a single opportunity to take p

. >> andrea: right. cureosly, the three people that watch martin beshaer's show a month before got to see him go on a rant about mormonmism. saying he could either keep lying and win the white house and bring eterm damnation or tell the truth. he is holding up the book of mormon. >> greg: keep doing that. i found that arousing. >> andrea: we'll get fan mail from england saying i have a terrible accent. imagine if someone held up the quran. he is saying that romney is lying. we can't say the word liar or say that barack obama is lying. a huge double standard. romney kate out yesterday and he said i don't want to make reverend wright an issue. by still by saying what they were saying do they want to make an issue of x, y, z? they are already talking about it. >> dana: a big question of why he should. some people on the right says mccain was crazy to take it off the table. last night, our own charles krauthammer talked about what his opinion is. take a listen. >> to be completely legitimat legitimate, but r

andrea has breaking news. >> andrea: jessica simpson had her baby. calm down.s a little girl. >> bob: i was waiting for news. >> it's maxwell drew johnson. >> bob: how sweet. >> andrea: i know. it's a girl. >> dana: maxwell drew johnson is three boys names in a row. >> andrea: it's interesting. but bob has been up all night long. >> bob: i've been so worried about it. you know you are better off than you were four years ago? the ronald reagan quote? it's barack obama's economy, no question about it. vote up or down about it. four years ago, this year, four years ago, in 2009 we lost 4.1 million jobs. in the last month months, 2011, under barack obama we made $2 million. in the 2008 we lost which was the last year of the bush administration. we had foreclosures. # 861,000. you are better off, absolutely you're better off. >> eric: there is no time to refute that stuff. did you know most air liens have discount for military serving and exmilitary has 5%. jet blue five free checked bags. air alaska, frontier air, special rates. spirit airlines is coming under a lo

i would say i like the outif its. >> greg: andrea, i bet you wrote a column on this. >> andrea: i didob: always writes a column. >> andrea: i love this women's stuff. i love when they go out the women's vote. sarah jessica parker says if you're a single woman, you should vote for john kerry. look how that turned out. went don't like to be told what to do. don't like to be played for a fool or watch other women judge them. a lot of women stop and say let us make your own decisions about that. let us do research on romney. i think right now, as dana mention, number one tissue women, second, third, fourth, nowhere is it gay marriage. nowhere does it talk about insulting or judging other women on motherhood. i think it's going to backfire. that is why more women stop going wait a minute. they're not representative of us. >> greg: it seems like there is a strategy to paint romney as ward cleaver. that he is out of touch, old fashioned quaint and irrelevant. is this mockery a miscalculation? >> eric: i think it is a miscalculation. america is ready for that. >> the celebrity and stuff that

you're saying you want -- >> andrea: okay, forget -- [ overtalk ] >> andrea: there have been dozens ofests with occupy wall street. attack got worse. someone would say i want a free pack of cigarettes. now we have bombing and police officers stabbed. what is frustrating in 2009, janet napolitano put out a memo, national homeland security memo warning of right wing extremists calling them domestic terrorists. we heard nothing from her, from the department homeland security. we heard the opposite from the president. he supports them. i tell you what, as i asked bill, what do you think he should say. a bigger downside for him to stay silent. he risks isolated the middle independent voters. actually d >> juan: do you believe police arrested three people attacking campaign headquarters and rahm emanuel's house? those guys are being -- >> dana: but that's why president obama is in a perfect position now to criticize them. not because they're -- i mean now, why not take the opportunity? they got their stuff done. nobody has town halls anymore. occupy wall street is ineffective and the media h

>> andrea: this is astounding. this is the first time we heard from edwards, it will be a year this summer. 2008 is when the affair broke. it's been a lot of time. we have heard from elizabeth edwards, we heard from hunter in a magazine. we haven't heard from him. this was his apology to the nation. but he at the crux of it, he did a very, very bad thing, but it wasn't an illegal thing. apology to the nation. i think it struck the right tone. he is done in politics, i'm not sure it can repair or decenter people. >> brian: get a talk show. >> bob: because he is a good lawyer is the reason he thought he'd beat this. he knew the laws were impossible the way they're written to prosecute somebody. that's why he was confident throughout the trial. >> eric: quick observation. when o.j. simpson was acquited he came out saying i'm going to spend the rest of my life looking for nicole's killer and it went on the side. john edwards comes to podium and says i'm going to work for kids going forward. do you think he is going to

. >>> good day, i'm andrea mitchell live in washington. in our daily fix today, the election will be decided in a dozen battleground states. that's clear. new nbc marist polls show the president has a narrow lead in three of them. florida, ohio, and virginia. has he hit his ceiling? nbc news chief white house correspondent and political reporter chuck todd is host of the daily rundown and our resident poll maven. well, here he keeps sort of cruising at 48, edging up to 48. is that a ceiling? >> that's the knife's edge. 48. that's a good question. the remack bl consistemarkable . he's at 47% in the ballot test. where is he in florida? virginia, 48%, ohio, 48%. you're can't fall forward and get to 50% with it. 48% if that's where he's sitting the whole time that means it's a turnout election and that's what he has to do. if the number is going to drift down, that would be a troublesome sign for him. 48, those are re-electable numbers, winnable numbers. it's work to. another thing i noticed, romney obviously got better in all of these polls f

government. >> reporter: that's true, andrea. the raid in a lot of ways, people have called it a turning point in the relationship, but certainly all of last year, 2011, were a tumultuous decline in the relation and people on both sides, officials on the american and pakistani side, tell us that that relationship is at an all-time low. pakistan's parliament issued a null new rule of engagement for the u.s., calling for a complete cessation on drone strikes and conditioning those sorts of things on reopening of the nato supply line through here. clearly a lot of daylight on the two sides portfolio as the u.s. went ahead and launched another drone strike days ago. >> what is the reaction, if any, to the fact that the president permitted, ordered, in fact, john brennan, yesterday, to confirm the existence of what had been a covert policy of the drone strikes? >> reporter: you know, the drone issue here has been one of great sensitivity and a lot of interest over last few years, particularly as their use has increased in recent years

andrea? >> thank you very much.. >> the obama campaign and its super pac both attacking mitt romney. joining me now is romney adviser kevin madden. the bain capital attacks, bill burton from the super pac priorities compared what bain did with one steel company in missouri to what john dillinger had done. when i pressed him on it, he said he's not alleging anything that either broke rules or laws. but this attack is certainly zeroing in. >> they are extremely scornful of business at a time where we need businesses to strive and they are extremely scornful of the private industry and private capital industry when we need capital to flow. so i think what you're seeing right now is we're seeing it as an opportunity to talk on the issue arena of the economy which is central to what i think voters are going to use to decide whether or not they want to rehire president obama given the poor performance of the economy and lacking the job creation to put the economy back on track and have better employment numbers, i think i

i'm andrea mitchell live in washington. in our daily fix, the president placed a call to mitt romney at 11:30 this morning congratulating him on securing the republican nomination. texas did put romney over the top. at this hour, he now has 1191 dels in his column. and we can call him the projected republican nominee. it's official. but from the moment romney stepped off the plane in las vegas with donald trump's giant plane in the background, romney was overshadowed by the donald. chris cillizza is managing editor of post politics.com. donald trump has just tweeted again, again racing the birth issue and wanting to see how the president listed his birth country on his college records or his college applications. why won't he give this up? >> well, he won't give it up, andrea, because remember trump is not a politician. he's an entertainer/celebrity. you know, i tweeted earlier this morning yesterday was a great day for donald trump, not as good for mitt romney. why was it a great day for trump? because he was all over the
