this is dick armey's official class picture. when mother jones broke the story yesterday about his contentious break-up with the fake grassroots kotchman brothers group freedom works, they demanded that armey be paid until his contract ended on december 31st. that they remove his name, image, or signature from all its letters, print media, fundraising material and social media and that he demanded, that freedom works deliver the copy of his official congressional portrait to his home in texas. someone at freedom works, is there somebody who is bummed? i don't want to part with my official portrait of dick armey. it looks so great in the office! is this even the portrait in question? or is there a fancier portrait that he is demanded freedom works send to his home following their big acrimonious break-up? now we know that it turns out, freedom works will be sending hole to texas more than just dick armey's congressional portrait. the associated press reporting today that they acquired a confidential contract that shows that dick

thank for coming inside "the war room." >> my pleasure. >> dick morris con man.s. tell us what you mean by that? >> i think there was a question mark. the question is is he essentially pulling a con on his supporters. i haven't been able to find any ads that they aired, but they told people who donated them that they would be helping to elect mitt romney. he raise about $3 million, and about $1.7 million of that went to a news organization to can be marketed to for political things, and if you are a news max reader or reader of other things like human events you'll get a lot of comes on for get-rich quick themes and miracle cures, that kind of stuff comes in a deluge to those people. morris set up a system where you would help elect his super pact and then he would pay news max, and they run dick morris's own email list. so obviously he must be getting a cut or maybe a majority but some part of that money so it's this end less cycle of funds none of which is going to the os tensive purpose, it all seems to be going back and forth between dick morris and news max.

dick cheney is absolutely right. the world is far more dangerous today. there is a great lack of u.s. leadership under president obama this is the administration i think that has significantly led from behind. it's outsourced its own u.s. leadership on the world stage countries like france and turkey. this is not an administration that is interested in powerfully projecting american leadership internationally. we now see, of course, the middle east going up in flames. and there is absolutely no leadership whatsoever coming from washington at this time. i describe the obama president's foreign policy as an absolute disaster. one that has significantly undercut key u.s. allies, including of course israel and great britain while appeasing america's enemies on the world stage. from iran, for example through to sudan to north korea and now, of course, we see the situation in egypt significantly deteriorating. and barely a word of condemnation coming from the obama administration with regard to morsi's dictatorship in cairo. >> obviously retreating on freedoms
