i think the carnival barker won the whole thing. >> you call it scary, how scary our political systemother reminder, in your opinion, about how scary things are and what do you mean by scary when you talk about our political system? >> well, everybody was talking about donald trump as a clown or as his campaign being a ride, like a carnival barker. and i call it the house of horrors. because it showed all you need is name recognition and the potential to spend a lot of money. nothing else in your ability to actually govern and work in the government doesn't mean a thing. we in the media knew the first time he appeared it was almost certainly a publicity stunt but there is always that one in a,000 chance and i thousand chance he exploited it and i don't see how we stopped this from happening. >> you say he played us like a fidel and don't see how we stop it. how much should the ee lk for rate reward it? we reward him with air time but does the electorate reward those folks, these carnival barkers, folks with name recognition and money, do they reward them as well with victory on electi

today, unfortunately, carnival barkers are now upset. some of them said they were offended., there goes the all-important bearded lady vote. a guy who runs a large carnival business said he was very upset by the president's remark. he said, i think what obama said is the same type of stereotype that has been placed on african-americans. and now, if you excuse me, i have to go spit fire at a monkey wearing a top hat. meanwhile, donald trump -- when obama released the birth certificate yesterday, everybody wanted to rub it in donald's face. but he's not the kind of guy who knows the meaning of shame. >> are you at all maybe a little embarrassed for stoking what many in the country see as a foolish debate? >> i think i did a really great job in getting him -- i haven't seen it -- i'll look at it later. i don't need to look at your copy. >> jimmy: two days ago, he had people in hawaii -- now he doesn't want to see it. trump said he's glad the focus is off the birth certificate now, and he's now demanding to see president lincoln's death certificate. [ laughter ] it was eliminati

but he was able to lance that boil and turn trump into the carnival barker without naming him as such. chris: at this point do i have to show my college grades now? >> donald trump is a master salesman. he knows the crowd they're selling to. chris: who are they? >> the populist, angry, tea partyish and other obama hating republican base, who are interested in budget cuts and abortion but more than that as clarence said, they have an anger that they almost can't always explain for powerful people, and to get somebody like donald trump, rich and from new york, it somehow seems like one of them, despite his limousine and his hair and everything. he's one of them. that'sst what those people want to here. -- hear. >> he's like hugh dean yeah -- houdini. lands in his own helicopter, trump all over it. but i'm really one of you because i earned my money is hard way. and how did barack obama? chris: every african-american i know has come up to me in the last couple of weeks and said something about this guy trump. >> i got stopped at a train station the other way. chris: there were suspicions

we're not going to be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by side-shows and carnival barkers. >> president obama used the controversy as his go-to choice at the annual white house correspondent summit. they joined the president and first lady. glee star matthew morrison was there along with other famous fox payments. "saturday night live" myers served as host. they took jabs at those thinking about a presidential run. >> there is a vicious rumor that i think could hurt mitt romney. i heard he passed universal health care when he was governor of massachusetts. someone should get to the bottom of that. and i know just the guy to do it -- donald trump. >> don trump is saying he will run for the president as a republican which is surprising because i assumed he was running as a joke. >> donald not smiling there. the correspondent's dinner was held in the northwest. >>> high gas prices are bringing in record profits at the oil companies. we'll tell you what the president wants to do about it when we come back.  >>> gas prices on the rise once again. the national avera

seemed like a low moment when he releases the birth certificate pinned against the wall by a carnival barker. many said why did he have to do that, why now? why this guy making him do that? then the humor he attacks it with at the white house correspondence dinner sort of brings him back. and the strength and intelligence and courage that he shows in the attack of bin laden not carpet bomb but do a precision attack. and then the dignity he showed to the arab world and bin laden in particular by not releasing some gory grotesque photograph which would be spiking the football. many of us calling, including me, we want to see this picture. we want to see this guy dead. that's not what we do, not how i play the game. even though many of you want it, that's not how i'm going to do it. we've seen so much of obama's character this week. and i'm proud he's my president right now. >> you are saying, ari, the president does particularly well when the news is good. when there's a way for him to ride, he's one of the best to ride it. in this case he may have created this very wave himself by the decisio

serious candidates have right now is they have trouble getting oxygen when you have's got carnival barkersing around sucking it all up. >> right. but they drive the conversation, which is why some people actually get into the race. they don't expect they're going to win but they do drive the conversation which i think we've seen donald trump do it, i think michelle bachmann is another example of people who expect to move the party conversation somewhere. you mentioned mitt romney. i want to read something the "wall street journal" wrote. he gave a big speech this week about why romney care in massachusetts is different from obama care for the nation. and right before he gave it, here's what the "wall street journal" wrote -- the debate over bombcare and the larger entitlement state may be the central question of the 2012 election. on that question, mr. romney is compromised and not credible. if he does not change his message, he might as well try to knock off joe biden and get on the obama ticket." >> tough. >> yeah.
