>> 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

and barack obama denied it, said he had no idea he said those things. you don't believe that. obama -- >> no, no, i don't believe that obama -- okay, hold on. i don't believe that obama really -- really never heard reverend wright make his outrageous things about race in america. but, sean, what we are talking about here is reverend wright now saying, you know what, i'm the one who stands on principle. i'm the truth teller. >> sean: forget about that -- >> i thought that's what you were arguing? he said something very different to the american people. it is -- you know what, honesty to me -- look, i know you are honest. honesty matters. principles matter. >> sure. >> sean: to sell out your principles for ambition is not a very appealing quality. that's where i would say that -- >> first of all, let's be straight. all politicians are going to do what is in their political best interest. if that's your point that, ed klein's book, that the tape with reverend wright make its out that barack obama pulled back on some of the attitudes and thoughts that he emb

. >> what are barack obama's chanceces of keeping his job? >> no better than 50/50. >> what's bugging the voters? >> the ecomy. >> ad game gets nasty. >> everybody plays hardball. >> ground game -- who has the most enthusiastic supporters? money game -- will the candidate with t the fattest sewer pack when? and the charm offensive -- which candidate is more ectable? -- likle? >> i like hanging out wi women. captioned byby the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- >> as we celebratehis memorial day holiday, we are almost six monthsaway from the 2012 presidential election. we will stay away from breaking news on this one and focus on the political road ahead. our guide for the journey pollster peter hart, who produces t nbc news-"w wall street journal" poll to which we so often refer. he thinks the election is no more than a 50/50 shot for the president. 2/3 of the american people think we are on the wrong track. lousy number, butt ahead of where we were last year, 19%. votersre very glum about what is ahead for t them and their chil

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 republicans 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

, muchos demostraron su descontento por la actual política interna de presidente barack obama . la comunidad latina que pasa por circunstancias así . >> el tema más importante para el presidente barack obama es el de la economía, también para mitt romney, ambos están en empate técnico, de acuerdo a las encuestas. >> en florida mitt romney lleva ventaja comparado con el presidente barack obama . >> volviendo acá, el evento está totalmente vendido, costaba 7500 dólares entr. >> el presidente barack obama llegó a un evento privado dónde la entrada costo 35 mil dólares por persona . >> un evento en palo alto fue cancelado para mañana . >> quedamos pendiente, una persona con un caso activo de tuberculosis visito el área del hospital de california, los padres de los bebés nacidos pidieron que fueran examinados . >> al regresar... . >> le diremos porque el gobernador de california podría recortar el año escolar. >> al regresar... . >> por más que use la internet en el teléfono celular, si no tiene computadora en casa, es posible que viva desconectado. >> jefferson junior pretende mejor

she's shown in this yearbook photo with another man and not barack obama. mas party in the months after obama graduated from columbia and was living in new york. the couple eventually lived together for a short time in this brooklyn brown stone. and throughout their nearly 18-month romance, cooke kept a journal. how is he so old already at the age of 22, she wrote early on in their relationship. there is one theme, though, that continues to come up in her writings about obama, distance. she writes, but i feel that you carefully filter everything in your mind and heart, legitimate, admirable, really a strength, a necessity in terms of some kind of interestingtism but there's something there in smooth ver near, guardedness, but i'm left with a bit of a wall, a veil. joey cantor says that period of obama's life was a search for identity. >> during the new york years, not a lot actually happened. there's not a lot of drama. there aren't a lot of big scenes. a lot of what's happening with barack obama in this period is taking place inside his own head. >> obama a

how worried are you about barack obama's ability to carry a statement he did win. >> i am called the signated warrior. i worry about everything in politics, but i think that president obama has shown a fair amount of strength in virginia and consistently. it's gone up and down, but he actually has shown the underlying strength. he will carry virginia again and if you look at the trend lines on polls, it's going to tighten up. and he surprising strength in virginia that impresses me. >> explain this as someone who has been involved in politics. barack obama carries the state in 2008. he 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

barack obama said, i'm totally against all super pacs.se, 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 punts over t

is barack obama at the front of the parade or too far ahead? has he fortified himself as a champion of change? the front page story that mitt romney led the hazing of a presumed gay student in high school. could romney have forgotten holding a fellow student down and cutting off his hair? is this a story with staying power? and nixon on gays, greeks and romans. the former president's infamous oval office show, unplugged on the matter of gays and civilization. with us today, andrew sullivan from "the daily beast," gloria borger from cnn, howard fineman with "the huffington post" and nia-malika henderson with "the washington post" and president obama explaining why he came out against gay marriage. >> for a lot of people, the word "marriage" was something that evokes very powerful traditions, religious beliefs and so forth but it's also the golden rule, treat others the way you'd want to be treated. you havedrew, advocated for this for many years, you married your partner, aaron, there he is with you. you've written a cover story on this for "new

and it's impossible for me to believe that ben really thinks barack obama is not a smart man. ave similar academic credentials. they went to the same college, columbia. ben went to yale law school, barack went to harvard law school. that's a coin toss. most of the legal world is a bit more impressed with harvard law school. the supreme court has five harvard law graduates. and barack was not just a member of the harvard law review, he was the president of the harvard law review. ben, i'm afraid, didn't make the law review cut at yale. so barack obama's academic distinction is not just higher than ben stein's, it is higher than every president who has been elected in my lifetime. president nixon who ben thinks was a genius went to whittier college in duke law school and was considered by many who worked with him to be in o'reilly's phrase, a smart man. in some ways. but richard nixon is the president who got elected on his lie about having a secret plan to end the war in vietnam and then continued that war for four more years costing another 20,000 american military deaths and a

was never a big churchgoer, that this was about political ambition for him and now feels that barack obama abandoned everything. he is not liberal enough, not left enough for jeremiah wright. >> interesting that in his state senator day, chicago state senator days where obama talks about attending church every week, week in and week out and jeremiah wright videos came out and he said, with young kids, it's hard to get to church every week. most illustrative about reverend jeremiah wright is that obam told us, he had never heard the videos we have heard, the incendiary messages of reverend jeremiah wright, but said he had never heard jeremiah wright say anything controversial. this is not a guy who suddenly turns it on and off -- obam's coming, be on your best behavior. >> sean: he said, he is like family to me. >> he married them. >> sean: he appears to praise malcolm-x's autobiography, well known for the term blue-eyed pebbles. >> only malcolm-x autobiography seemed to offer something different, the repeated acts of self creation spoke to me. the blunt poetry, his unadorned insistence on

today that a super pac ad was in the works, focusing on reverend wright and his relationship with barack obamat of bed, the obama campaign and david axelrod were on twitter, calling on mitt romney to repudiate the blitsz. that's exactly what romney did. but was it the right call? joining me is the co-host "the five," eric bolling and kimberly guilfoyle. i heard the interview with guy benson, town hall. i am thinking, this is what mccain did. this is the president that said, they bring a knife, we bring a gun. you know, i want romney to treat obama the way he did gingrich and the way he attacked santorum. i mean, frankly, i thought it got a little too mean. but now all of these things are off limes? >> listen, i think that's what he is going to do. i don't think it's the right thing to do. i think he should try to get after it. too much is at steak. if you are passionate about the country and care about the direction we are going in and i believe that he is -- you have to fight for her. for the rest of us, for the american people. show us that no matter who our enemies might be, no matter who c

is it somebody who is in the barack obama campaign? not saying it is, but i think the post owes us a little more than its given us. where did the story come from? and they give their critics ammunition. one day, one day after barack obama says he's in favor of gay -- same-sex marriage we get this story in the post and "the new york times." megyn: they say they didn't put it in the print version that day because they didn't want to have that juxtapositioned. they waited until today to put it here, this is the story on the front page. >> right, but the point is that critics will say, why did you do this? was in the middle of a controversial situation involving gay rights, so now you're going to put mitt romney in the middle of a controversial situation involving gay rights? again, i'm not saying that's what happened, but i'm saying they give their critics ammunition when they do something like this. and if the story winds up cracking and falling apart it's going to be even worse for "the washington post." megyn: pwaoerpbee. thanthank you

jeremiah said he was never a big church-goer, this was about political ambition for him and now feels barack obamabandoned everything. he's not liberal enough, he's not left enough for jeremiah wright. >> now he tells us. there are interviews back in his state senator days, chicago state senator days obama talks about attending church every week, week in and week out and then the jeremiah wright videos came out you know how it is with young kids, it's hard to get to church every week, i missed a bunch. and probably the most i will straytive is obama tolduous a straight face he never her the videos we have seen about the god damn messages of jeremiah wright but also said he never heard him say anything controversy. this isn't a guy that turns it on and off, obama is coming, everybody on their best behaver. >> he said he's like family to me. and he appears to praise malcolm xs autobiography in this clip. listen to this. >> only malcolm x autobiography seemed to offer something different. his self criation spoke to me. blunt poetry of his words. us unadorned insistence on respect in a new order. and

many people do not think it was authentic. >> bill: donald trump continuing to say barack obama's birth certificate may be bogus. how should mitt romney handle that since he met with mr. trump this week? dick morris has some thoughts. also tonight, dennis miller on president obama's chill list and jesse watters talks to some pakistanis about their anti-u.s. posture. >> he deserves to be in jail? >> yes. >> caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. >> bill: i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. planned parenthood and the presidential election, that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. today planned parenthood endorsed president obama. less than 24 hours after the factor broadcast a shocking story showing a planned parenthood counselor in texas, advising a woman on how to abort her fetus if it turned out to be a girl. >> i see that you say you want to terminate if it's a girl or you just wanted to continue the pregnancy in the meantime? >> yeah. i think that would be the plan so then i would want to schedule -- try to sche

if you look at the democratic side, barack obama is getting about 90% of the vote. that is very strong we're in a state, even democrats are a bit more conservative. getting nearly 100% of the minority vote. that says something nationally. barack obama is running very strong in the latinos, which could be pivotal in many of the swing states. >> the divisions we have seen within the republican party, the conservatives against a more broad stream thinking of newt gingrich. is that the problem? >> there are divisions. there is a race for the united states senate in texas replacing one of the moderate republicans. it looks like we may have a runoff between the person who is considered more moderate, the lieutenant governor of texas, and someone with tea party support. you do see some of those divisions still evident within the republican party, even if they are uniting behind being against barack obama. >> ron paul, what of him? >> this is the end of his delegates gathering. he is gone to focus on several small states that have state convention. he will go to the convent
