check out the "trouble" that is brewing between the redistributor and arianna huffington, liberal blogger president, you, first. >> tonight i would be remiss if i didn't congratulate the huffington post on the pulitzer prize. you deserve it, arianna huffington, no one else out there linking to the kind of hard hitting journalism that they are limping to every single day. >>eric: and now not taking that down, she fired back. >> i don't think they should be mad. it is one thing to celebrate the fact they did such a great job. it is one thing to have an nbc special from the situation room which we are going to have this week. in the situation room. unprecedented. all that. and attempting to use that in a campaign ad? despicable. >>eric: despicable, a liberal calling the president despicable. >>kimberly: that is a troubled home. she will not take anything sitting down, she will not like a barb like that and she will be defensive on behalf of her great, you know, site, and the president was funny, a very good line that got a lot of applause and people cracked up and it is, also, true. >>bob: w

arianna huffington's comment despicable is the right word.usama bin laden was killed and went down to ground zero to express their joy. i didn't feel that. today as we have every day since he died we still have brave men and women out there in afghanistan and around the world fighting against the war on terror and too many them are dying. you don't celebrate your brilliance because we have brave young americans out there putting their lives on the line. i think it is wrong. i think it should stop and i think the president should apologize for having done this. martha: a lot of these reactions lead folks to think that nobody is taking the high road in this situation. and, you know, what you, the point you just made is completely absent from this conversation. i mean one might expect that the president would say great day. great job on behalf of those navy seals of course but we have so many men and women out there fighting this fight today. >> i was appalled. at the time when president obama called out the fact that it was "seal team 6" that e

when people like arianna huffington and john meacham and dana milbank are coming out and saying this is really uncomfortable to watch, i think you have to question whether this was a good strategy. >> you have to remember also in 2003 at this exact same time basically may 1st president bush showed up on that aircraft carrier with the banner that said "mission accomplished" behind him. he was re-elected. the mission was not accomplished. some would argue this mission is still not accomplished until day we saw osama bin laden dead. now we have the one-year anniversary of that. doug, the obama campaign has made the president's decision a year ago roughly about this executive leadership. as a.b. brought up the fact that the president's foreign policy and being basically a hawk about military actions has proven to be great risk, great reward for him right now. even the vice president has said they were not 100% sure that this was the right decision to make at that time. again, i get back to this. was this in reflection great risk/great reward and the president is just cashing in? >> well,

next you will have arianna huffington sitting next to you.ost: and happy viewer, ashland, ohio, democratic viewer. caller: good morning. i think the best thing to do with these politicians is just outsourced them and get rid of them once and for all and have a whole new party. nothing will get done. things will get worse. americans need to get -- need to wake up. host: next up is a call from corona, mich., a democrat, good morning. caller: good morning, i don't think this is a democratic or republican issue. i think you can see this all through washington lot. i think the democrats and republicans and independents keep blaming each other. let's focus on the major issue. , the american people and that's what we need to focus on. if these politicians keep doing this kind of stuff like john edwards did, i don't care what party they are, they should not be in the political realm anymore. thank you. host: from twitter - next up is wilmington, delaware, an independent -- caller: i would like to make a comment -- the main reason people don't trust p

something arianna huffington called despicable, one of the most despicable things you can do, she said>> well, i don't think it's -- i think it's despicable to say that anyone would exactly do this or that if they did not say that exact quote. however, i don't think, i think all's fair, unfortunately, or it's become all has become fair in a presidential election year. i don't think it's despicable for the president to point out what he has done that is favorable to the world and to the american people and has been to the betterment of this country and the world with regards to foreign policy with a man that he is going to be running against, mitt romney, his camp, the gop, my buddies like lars on the right who attack his foreign policy. and he is in a fight. this is going to be a fight for this seat. this is going to be a nail-biter, and the mud slinging has begun. and it will not end, and mr. romney will sling some president obama's way, i'm sure. megyn: all right. leslie, lars, we'll have you back to debate that when it happens. like tomorrow. [laughter] thank you. >> thank you very

arianna huffington man. no. did he ever tell but the edward was in california? huffman, no. martha: the defense will get up there today and we're likely to hear i would imagine, jonathan, something along the lines it was clearly to sort of protect the family and cover it up from the family, right? >> reporter: exactly. they're also trying to prove, the defense is, that edwards may not have been aware of all the financial wheeling and dealings that his aide, andrew young was up to. and that, as you pointed out, that the money was intended to protect edwards' family, not the campaign. that is what the defense has been trying to underscore throughout this trial. so it's not so much the money trail that's in question, martha but the intent behind the money is what jurors must ultimately decide. listen. martha: yee. >> they see this affair being covered up as part of edwards' presidential aspirations? or is it simply a person who wants to preserve his family and his marriage and is lying about that? >> reporter: professor friedland says there is another way to look at it. basical

that led arianna huffington who runs the liberal "huffington post" say this is one of the most despicable things she's seen in terms how the ad portrayed that but yesterday the president insisted otherwise. >> i hardly think you've seen any excessive celebration taking place here. i think that people, the american people rightly remember what we as a country accomplished in bringing to justice somebody who killed over 3,000 of our citizens. >> reporter: part of the reason why the president is getting some heat now shortly after bin laden's killing he told cbs news it was not a time to spike the ball in the end zone. now if he is not doing that he at least maybe dancing the inened sown a little bit, jon. jon: i guess mitt romney weighed in yesterday as well? not do pleased by all this. >> reporter: he fired back basically saying he would have ordered the go signal in terms of this raid of the bin laden compound and had a shot of his own saying in his words, even jimmy carter would have moved forward with that mission. a lot of democrats not too pleased with that, taking kind of a what demo

do you think it is despicable as arianna huffington has said? >> no, of course not. no.oliticizing it? mitt romney last time he ran for president said we shouldn't go into sovereign country. hesitant to do that we wouldn't put all the resources getting behind one guy. now he has done a typical romney flip-flop saying i would have done that. don't forget president obama had number of advisors said i'm not sure this is good idea. not like everybody was in concert with this before they went in a year ago to get bin laden. there was much dissension among the ranks in the white house. this was not an easy decision. he is always credited the troops with this. martha: so much of this, when i look at it, compare this mission accomplished discussion, right, is what happens from here in afghanistan? you know, where do we go from here? and will the president achieve his goal? he says this is quote for him, the goal i set to defeat al qaeda, to deny it a chance to rebuild and that is within reach. so, tucker, whether or not that's accomplished is something that he will be measured b

i share with arianna huffington, i don't get why anyone would think the president is wrong or using it to say a year ago today, we made the decision, we made the decision to go after osama bin laden. >> it's fine to wallow around in it? >> look at the history of politics. look what the republican party has done to the democrats. they hung that around every democrat running for office in the land. look what they have done with national security. look what they did to john kerry in '04. do you think they would not be accusing barack obama of being soft on everything had this decision not been carried out successfully? >> i think you put it all in proper context. what say you, jon meacham? >> it's totally politicizing it. it's calling something a cult, a religion with what you don't agree. if you are politicizing something, it means the other guy is beating your brains in. you can't respond. i thought the ad was fascinating on 100 different levels. one is bill clinton as witness to the prosecution is historically fascinating. yeah. it's political. guess what? it's going to be a close re-e

. >> even arianna huffington who does the huffington post says using this in a campaign ad, spiking the paraphrasing, of course, inappropriate for the white house. >> even president huffington would have made that call, that's what you were getting at. >> that's right. they're trying to make politics out of it. do people care about it? there was a "washington post" poll out in january of this year where 51% said the economy was the number one issue. how many people said war on terror, security and stuff like that? 2%. people are more concerned with g.d.p. than o.b.l. >> coming up next on the rundown, he's gone from being a top gun fighter pilot to a banker on wall street and he says corporate america needs a new mission, entire military make-over. he'll explain coming up next. >> then, we've been following this story for you. army vet trying to get a refund from spirit airlines because he's too sick to fly. there's a new update. you're not going to be happy. that's not the spirit. i am you and you are me if you want it, you just got to believe. weight watchers i believe strength [ jenni
