here's more on how aural of this came about today with jay carney giving a readout following the session that took place at the noon hour the a the white house. >> talk about the atmospherics of today's meeting. and also, did speaker boehner's comments yesterday about the debt ceiling change the tone or the meeting? >> well, the president had lunch with the leaders alone. i was not in there, no staff was in there. i spoke with the president afterwards. my sense is that the tone was congenial, the discussion was productive, the sandwiches were delicious and that while the topic was raised and discussed, there was no other issue associated with -- or no problem associated with speaker boehner's ares yesterday. >> what portion of the meeting was taken up by that. >> i think my readout of the meeting and the percentage of sometime spent on the various topics is a fair representation of the percentages of the meeting and how they broke down. >> but the president did call the meeting to talk about his to-do list. >> they spent some time talking about that and the fact that -- and i think this

jay carney. >> let me be clear. vice president said what the said about the protection of rights with citizens is consistent with the president's position on this issue. the president has spoken about this. the president is the right person to describe his own personal views. he, as you know said his views on this were evolving. >> jon: ah. [ laughter ] so with regards to gay marriage the vice president's new position is consistent with the president's position which has not changed and is also changing. [ laughter ] that's not a social policy that's a zen cone. mr. carney -- >> it is as it was, yes. [ laughter ] >> jon: it is as it was. [ laughter ] and what master is the sound of one man sweating? and why are they sweating physical so hard. >> so sensitive to biden doing this because number one gay money in this election has replaced wall street money. >> jon: you know the only difference between gay money and wall street money is when you put gay money in one of them tacky develop crow wallets, it rolls its eyes.

jay carney says president obama is aware of the video released over the weekend. carney says obama is greatly concerned over weinstein's safety but it is not u.s. policy to negotiate with terrorists. >> our hearts go out to him and his tamly. we condemn his kidnapping in the strongest terms and call for his immediate release. the u.s. government will continue making every effort to see mr. weinstein release safely to his family but we cannot and will not negotiate with al-qaeda. >> the 70-year-old was kidnapped nine months ago in pakistan. al-qaeda says he will be freed for the u.s. stops its attacks in pakistan, afghanistan, yemen and somalia and if it also releases all al-qaeda and taliban prisoners around the world. >>> the late now from the campaign trail. primaries are being held in west virginia, north carolina and indiana today and presumptive gop nominee mitt romney has picked up another endorsement. it is from former rival rick santorum. an e-mail sent to supports late last night, santorum wrote that president obama, quote, must be defeated adding it will

carney said the president thinks states should decide in favor of marriage rights.hough he would not say whether the president supports or opposes the cause. with voters going to the polls in north carolina tuesday, on a constitutional amendment, carney was pressed on whether the president is holding back to avoid a backlash in key battlegrounds. >> the president has been extremely aggressive in supporting lgbt rights. >> senior campaign advisor david axelrod tried to deflect attention attacking the presumptive republican nominee, romney. >> there couldn't a starker contrast on this issue than with governor romney who funded efforts to roll back marriage laws in california and other places. >> the contrast could be stark if the president came out in favor of same-sex marriage. instead, recently as saturday, he tantalized supports with hints what he may do after november. >> that is what we're fighting for, ohio. a bold america. a forward-looking america, where everybody has a chance to make of their life what they will. >> that frustrated a former biden intern now a

because jay carney is right., he's -- he looks wishy washy. >> the gay community should back off of the president on this. they shouldn't make it a campaign issue. it hurts us when he does that. >> i have talked to pollsters and they said if the president comes at this -- using his christian values from an honest place, which he is likely to he could win this. he could say as a christian, i have considered this. and totally take the teeth out of this issue. >> it's a fascinating issue in this election. this president has been moan to make risky speeches on risky topics as well. but they also came without a campaign ad focused on the economy. take a listen. >> if we're not there yet. it's still too hard for too many but we're coming back because america's greatness comes from a strong middle class, because you don't quit deieierer doess ?? >>>>ooou tnk t tt's the right message? >> absolutely. the republicans have no comeback to that message. >> well except for you are not better off than you were four years ago. >

they want the media to say no, jay carney is wrong or, yes, jay carney is right. there are all sorts of things now like fact checking things from newspapers, like the washington post and others, who try to arrive at a -- >> are you a columnist, and you can say whatever you want. if you are a strit reporter or editing reporter as you are now, is that the role of the press is that this guy is lying. >> i think that the white house is asking for was to not listen to the other side's point of view, which is never going to happen, and i think both sides in this happens increasingly in a very partisan city. both sides discount the other side's point of view as being in any way credible, and so they're demanding you only listen to them. that's obviously not going to happen. i think any story will have the perspective of both sides, but i think even regular reporters are under some responsibility to try and figure out what the basic truth is. it may not be as easy when it comes to things like -- >> i agree with that totally, and you can't play he-said-she-said. our role i

do you think that was a bright spot in jay carney's career? i would put in my home videos and show my kids. jay on occasion was wonder a littlait will -- what happenedee bit. they are ducking away from occupy wall street. i'll make the point. i support occupy wall street. they're exactly right. rich people make it and poor people don't. democrat is incorrect again. erroneous i'm going to dana perino. >> dana: my lowlight reel from the white house would be extensive and something you could make fun of for days. sometimes you get a question where you are like, when you are answering it you think like what is the three days from now what are they going to ask me? i think three months ago when occupy wall street was all that and they were living in the rei tents, that was longer ago i guess. maybe in the fall. but now it look like they're tarnish and they back away and sometimes you don't have a good answer. >> bob: time for greg to talk about defecating. >> greg: okay. anytime? here is the thing, i am beginning to sympathize with the democrats at

all carney would say is that the president is against a proposal on the north carolina ballot tomorrow which would make gay marriage and civil unions unconstitutional in that state. >> help me out, he opposed bans on gay marriage, but he doesn't support gay marriage? >> the record is clear that the president has long opposed divisive and diskrm nnatory efforts to deny rights and benefits to same-sex couples. that is a position he's taken that precedes his taking a position in north carolina. it's a position he's taken in other states where this has been an issue. >> you know, we should point out, brian, that the country is, if you will, evolving on this issue to borrow a phrase from the president. in 2009 when we polled on this issue on same-sex marriage, nearly 50% said they were opposed to it, only 41% supported it. just a couple months ago in march, we asked again. 49% said they supported gay marriage. just 40% opposed. you see that shift in public opinion, brian. >> chuck todd from the white house north lawn tonight. chuck, thanks. >>> overseas tonight in france and in greece, vote

jay carney also saying wall street lobbiests are trying to gut those projections. the stock on jpmorgan is down by another almost 2% on the trading session down better than 13% for the week. here's mary thompson. >> well, as expected some high profile departures following the bank's disclosure of a $2 billion trading loss that could reach over $3 billion. sunday on nbc's "meet the press," jamie dimon calling the loss a mistake. >> we did lose $2 billion in trading. in hindsight we took far too much risk. the strategy we had was badly vetted, badly monitored, it should never have happened. >> on the losing side of the trade, ina drew, one of the most powerful women on wall street, she's retiring stepping down from her role as chief investment officer. she ran the unit responsible for the loss. also leaving, two high ranking london based executives who worked for drew. unknown is the future of the whale, iksil, known for his big trade. the shake up also giving two of dimon's heir apparents added responsibilities. replacing ina drew is matt zames and remains head of c

so i posed a question to jay carney.y it for you and david and then tell you what happened. >> the recall election in wisconsin, tom barrett, the democratic candidate. governor scott walker. has the president endorsed tom barrett? does he plan to? >> you might ask the campaign. i'm not allowed to take the question. not that i'm aware of. >> bill: jay carney says not that i'm aware of. elizabeth, i was surprised at that. i got home and i had an e-mail from jay carney who said in fact, the president had endorsed tom barrett, that jay carney just didn't know about it. did you know about it elizabeth? >> no. the obama and the democrats in some ways had been pretty m.i.a. in wisconsin especially when you look at -- into all of the money and research that the republican party has poured into wisconsin. but i think that happens for two reasons. >> bill: i still want to probe this a little bit. did you know that president obama -- do people in wisconsin know that president obama has endorsed tom barrett? >> i think many people g

. >> the comments of jay carney earlier today. the headline from the washington times, sparks fly at a white house meeting. joining us live on the phone is susan crabtree who posted the story a short while ago. thank you for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> we have the he said she said statements from the speaker of the house, john boehner, reaction from nancy pelosi saying the speaker's characterization of the meeting wasn't quite right. as you indicated and others indicated some rather tense words, if you want to say tense, between the president and the speaker on the debt limit vote. what have you been able to glean from the session? because nobody spoke on the record after the session. >> it seemed like the white house portrayed it in a friendly light when jay carney came out for comments saying it was a friendly meeting and he was emphasizing his to do lists and goals he was trying to get accomplished or passed by the end of the year. but during the briefing you got a read out from boehner's office and it was saying

hours later jay carney faced repeated questions on the president's position. mr. carney maintaining that the president's views are, quote, evolving. >> there are very few people who think that the president is not going to after november, whether he's re-elected or not, come out in favor of same-sex marriage. why not just come out and say it and let voters decide? it seems cynical to hide this until after the election. >> jake, i think the president's position is well known. he's spoken to this. it's gotten a great deal of coverage. i don't have an update to provide you on the president's position. it is what it was. >> pretty rare when somebody runs for office that they're saying i'm getting ready to change my mind. you have really savaged mitt romney for changing his mind and i'm wondering if you don't run some risk of looking kind of too clever. >> i don't have an update for you on the president's personal views. that's the answer he has and i don't have a new answer for you. >> no movement yet. >>> meanwhile, late last night mitt romney received the official e

megyn: listen i think jay carney had a brain freeze as i said.ure if he had to redo it again he probably would have said something different. i will say this. look you can't blame the occupy movement any more than you can blame the tea party movement over hurling racist insults. megyn: do they stab police officers? >> you can't -- megyn: sexual assaults at several of these things, use ago machete, threatening a machete against another person. >> i'm saying it's inexcusable. the same way that dick armey was the founder of the tea party movement did he go out there and condemn racist comments? >> there were no racist comments. megyn: i'm not going to get back in that debate again. >> i went to these tea party part taoefplts i eyewitnessed firsthand people going out -- megyn: you're pointing out bad behavior by pointing out other bad behavior. >> i'm not justifying it at all. in the same way you had a few bad actors. the wack os going out and saying barack obama is adolf hitler. megyn: i've got to go, i've got to go. thank you ladies as always. taki

here he is, the white house press secretary jay carney trying to explain this.edly was asked about the issue of same-sex marriage today. he said the president said in the past his views were evolving. carney insisted that remained true. so this is a tough job for a presidential press secretary. let's watch carney in action. >> there are very few people who think that the president is not going to, after november, whether he's re-elected or not, come out in favor of same-sex marriage. why not just come out and say it and let voters decide? it seems -- it seems cynical to hide this until after the election. >> jay, i think the president's position is well known. he's spoken to this. it's gotten a great deal of coverage. i don't have an update to provide you on the president's position. it is what it was. >> pretty rare when somebody runs for office saying in effect i'm getting ready to change my mind. i'm wondering, if -- if you don't run some risk of looking kind of too clever by half here? >> look, i don't have an update for you on the president's personal views

. >> moments ago, jay carney refused to comment on any change in the personal views on marriage equality but said this about the vice presidents. >> i have no update on the president's personal views. what the vice president said yesterday was to make the same point that the president has made previously. the committed and loving same sex couples deserve the same rights and protections enjoyed by all americans. >> nbc news correspondent kristen welker joins me live from the white house. they're definitely walking a fine dance around this one. what the vice president came out and i believe authentically said over the week, at least his feelings about what he views for marriage equality. now the white house seems to be doing its best job at trying to keep itself in the conversation but respectfully so when it comes to its politics. >> reporter: absolutely. the white house taking the tactic that, look, there is not a lot of daylight between what the vice president said and the president has said in the past. interestingly, thomas, what the obama campaign is trying to do is to sort of shift

jay carney was asked whether this would become a little bit awkward at lunch. take a listen. >> there are, certainly, political differences as there were between president george w. bush and former president clinton when president clinton and his family came for the unveiling of his, and first lady hillary clinton's portraits. there were differences, i'm sure, in the past. it's a small collection of people who know what it's like to sit at the desk in the oval office and have to make the kinds of decisions that a president makes. and, again, the commonality there transcends politics. >> reporter: now, you see we now have a live picture inside the east room where this portrait in just a few moments of former president george w. bush will be unveiled. both parties have come together before. in fact, george w. bush helped unveil the official portrait that hangs in the residence of the white house behind me of former president bill clinton. and so this tradition goes back and forth, and it's interesting as well because i asked jay carney whether or not at lunch pre
