>> barack obama? >> ask us a hard one. >> cares about average people. >> of course obama is going to win on that. >> consistent? >> probably obama, because of the press -- [laughter] wait, i've got one word to say. obama on the same-sex marriage, right? in favor when he ran for the state senate, opposed when he ran statewide -- >> he evolved. >> that is called a flip flop if you are a republican. >> exactly right. >> straight forward? >> i give that to romney. obviously, fox has failed again. the power of the liberal press. >> the thing about john f. kennedy is that people knew he was privilege, but people like him anyway because he was a real person. >> what does that mean? >> you know what that means. he looked like a real person, not a ken doll. >> give me a break. [laughter] this kind of hagiography -- "he looks like a real person"? >> romney has been playing before conscripted american population, as opposed to the kennedys did look at the people standing in front of barack obama, at the kennedy

this is barack obama's million-dollar guy. far as this bullying, you know, this made me think of the michael jackson situation because, you know, he was accused of being a child molester -- we will never know because he's gone. but even his worst accuser said he never did anything like have sex with him. he was grabby, grabby under the covers, which is terribly wrong. however, when i was 12 years old, i was beat oant playground, like the mitt romney thing, i was held down and somebody punched me in the face while other kids watched. if i could go back to 1968 that experience to being gently masturbated by a pop star... i would do it in a second! >> well, bill -- [bleep]... [laughter] >> the almond brothers. y could go back in time. marvin gay. >> sean: i don't think that's funny. but it does explain a lot about him. that's why he bullies the kids of sarah palin and rick santorum. that's weird. your reaction? >> first of all, you know, he's supposed to be a comedian. so i don't take anything he says seriously and i would hope n

barack obama making promises. barack obama in 2008. barack obama today. we showed a little bit of it in our first seth of the program tonight and that is that he changes his mind frequently and often and the case today was about gay marriage. is that the way to go at barack obama? let him eat his own words, in other words. >> and exactly what obama is doing to mitt romney as well. sean, there are three aspects to an effective ad. number one, is it credible and when you see the video of the candidate that is as effective as it gets. number two, does it deal with an issue that people care about. you can bet that taxpayers are ticked off and they use money much stronger than that to describe how they feel when their money goes overseas. and sean the campaigns that focus on credibility, authenticity, impact and this differencial those are the ads that work and those are the ads that will actually move voters. >> we will be following these ads and more to come in the days and weeks ahead. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> sean: we reveal three key rea

. >> member barack obama's in activation? remember -- barack obama's inauguration? whereas all that nbc has and gone? >> -- where has all that enthusiasm gone? >> to it the recession, or least the slow recovery. there is no doubt that repuicans care about getting rid of barack obama that democrats do about keeping him. democrats, for reasons that escape me, have been passively optimistic. they just think he will get reelected. there are lots of reasons he won't. >> we will continue to see an ugly campaign ads. >> so many people just say, "i don't want to vote for anyone, because everybody is bad." >> there you go, everybody is bad. >> historical, and negative campaigns depress voter turnout. if you are trying to depress voter turnout rate convincing people that mitt romney ran in the pirate, and daddy were box ran -- bain capital like a pirate, daddy warbucks, you are trying to depress turnout. if john mccain in the swing states, according to peter hart's own numbers, about the same number of votes in 2008 that george w. bush did in 2004, when george bush carried th

that is not the barack -- and that's know the barack i knew. that's not the barack i knew across the years, before he got political asspirations. >> sean: again, that's not the same barack. but more importantly, what does this reveal about the president's views on race? what was he trying to communicate there? you were there with him? >> it was pretty clear to me that the president was saying that if he allied himself with the reverend wright, who was perceived as this angry black man, that the white electorate would be afraid to turn over to him the position of commander in chief in charge of nuclear weapons. >> sean: all right. coming up, more of my interview with ed klein, fascinating stuff coming up. i am going to ask him why he -- meaning klein, referred to me as a right-wing crazy. after john bubits made headlines with his tirade. and now in a shocking twist, he's receiving calls of support from his hollywood friends. he's here to explain why. did mitt romney make the wrong decision saying that wright careful, pringles are bursti with mor

barack obama carries the state in 2008.e wins the state overwhelmingly and republicans take back the state legislative majorities. why sthnt be? >> frankly it masks how competitive the races were. a change of a few hundred votes and they would have maintained it. there is no mandate. democrats remain competitive and large parts of the state we dominate. >> i cannot let you go and i find this fascinating. a democratic congressman who ran for governor and lost the primary. is being rumored to consider switching parties and running against jerry conme in the future. are you worried? >> i welcome this development. it would seem to indicate and i would welcome that. the fact that they feel that they need to recruit the congress's democrat from alabama who doesn't yet live to represent them in 2014 is say welcome development and i look forward to debating to win the republican nomination. >> thanks for being a good sport and thank you for joining us. >> after a volatile few days, the market run down is next. even more fallout fro

barack obama said, i'm totally against all super pacs. and of course, now east all in favor of them because he realizes he has to have them against mitt romney. so there's some hypocrisy there. >> i think there's no doubt about that. but it is worth noting going forward in this campaign that one candidate, barack obama, tried to introduce legislation to stop super pacs from going forward and the republicans have blocked that. that hopefully is a conversation that will take place around kitchen tables because the ads are going to make everybody sick. >> you were with newt gingrich and you were on the receiving end and dished out a lot of negativity with mitt romney. you saw him with his halo on saying i really am i palled by the negativity. you must have chuckled. >> i feel relieved. it's why americans love the debates. they are the insiders. people love them because you didn't have to write a check to have access to the candidates. you can hear them on your tv. so i'm happy to hear that, but it's also unrealistic. i think what it does is

so believe me barack knows what it means when a family struggles.ows what it means when someone doesn't have the chance to fulfill their potential. what you need to know, america, those are the experiences that have made him the man and the president he is today. [ cheers and applause ] >> but i have said this before, and i will say it again and again, barack cannot do it alone. and fortunately he never has. we have always moved this country forward together. today more than ever before, barack needs your help. he needs your help. he needs your help. he needs every single one of you, every single one of you to give just a little part of your life each week to this campaign. he needs to register those voters, right? so all of the college students out there, all of you, if you're going to be moving over the summer, remember to register at your new address in the fall. you got that? get that done. barack needs you to join one of our neighborhood teams and start organizing in your community. just let me say, if there have ever been any doubt about the d
