talk show host bill maher here's a part of what's to come when you. want to use long given that it's legalization appears are going to radical. obama said the other day that no one is more dangerous than alcohol but he quickly stressed that he does talk he says a bad habit. you know it's a problem it's got that it's never medically. well of course for medical use i mean to talk to anybody who's used it for medical reasons and they will tell you that very often provides a solace that nothing else they tried says coming everywhere but there's what we have to use that excuse anymore it doesn't have to we don't have to have the fig leaf of oh i'm using it because i have this whatever it is i told them i had how about just because we want to because of all the drugs of all the mood altering agents you could get your hands on this is the one that's that's least harmful and also again a freedom issue how about that for the republicans where's the tea party and this does start to be that people love freedom so much what could be more cause for freedom that we

that was bill maher reacting to the ground offensive in gaza. when it comes to the political debate over foreign policy at home he made a few more predictions. >> could i save everyone time and tell you how it will go down for the next month? our politics are as predictable as the tides. first john mccain will go on every sunday talk show and call for war. then republicans in general are going to say obama isn't leading or warmongering enough and doing it to distract us from benghazi. then you're going to get a chain e-mail forwarded from your crazy republican uncle who says obama is in on it. then obama will come out and say this is unacceptable and do nothing which turns out to be the right thing to do because the only two people in the world who want war with russia are john mccain and his [ bleep ] lindsey graham. >> might be onto something. coming up, chris matthews spoke with the need for prison reform with piper kerman. the incarceration problem in the country is now so endemic children show sesame street has a new character with a father

even if you don't yeah yeah the angry black man is ok when the left goes out says about it like bill maher does but all of a sudden you know because drugs said something the new york post said something oh come on oh please an affective president would pick off vulnerable republicans both in the house and the senate harry reid needs half a dozen senate republicans and effective president would sit down and say that these are my priorities that's how he demanded racial reform passed through the senate wasn't that's how he that that was a senate generated bill in fact that's been a number of the thing is he has been contracting out a lot of the policies that have been happening even his health care bill was a congressional creation and where the constitution is the say that is the job why doesn't i just tell you that just what are the change in the subject where you're saying that the president's a good legislator president would pick off legislators and he would go with go to them and address some of the unrelated issues so he were all of uses republican he's russian is somewhat is because
