g.o.p. presidential candidates are all looking for his blessing i'll dive into why everybody wants to kiss a ralph reed's ring in just a moment and then former secretary of state connelly's rice came to d.c. today to talk about global development of events sponsored by a big oil company does that sound a little fishy to you archie is christine for the reports when we come back. into it and we're. going to go to pretty much just to sort out what. i have every right to know what my government should do if you want to know why i. would characterize obama as the charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here's some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard. the big picture. says. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right leg i think rock easy to be funny well. whenever the governor says here keep you safe get ready because freedom. for fuck's. sake for the. well it's been a long time coming but looks like congress

g.o.p. presidential candidates on and he asked her this question it's not getting a lot of flak. you will see like. well i think that would be insulting to say something like that because i'm a serious person could do you recognize that now that you're in the spotlight in a way that you were before that you have to be careful to not say what some regard as. i asked her about her history of controversial comments some would say gaffes and i found myself saying at the end are you which is a comment that some people make about her. she seemed to be a little perturbed about but. you know the really frustrating thing about is you want to say god chris wallace is just such a jerk and would do that to anybody else you know that whatever you can call me that i call herman cain a flake and it's still a bad statement but the head regarding michele bachmann's gaffes let's just show you one last little clip of what she said today where i'm from you know it was like john wayne was from waterloo iowa was just kind of spears and i have to it's really . really john wayne gacy a serial killer fro

g.o.p. presidential contenders a face off in a c.n.n. debate in new hampshire it was less of a faceoff and more of a love fest centered around the one ugle in this world president obama and his policies obama and the gays in the muslims that is but the majority of the debate did center on the economy and the need to create jobs which for republicans means continuing to lower taxes and getting the government out of the picture you can reach one as far as calling it that oppression and simple and he said that obama has a defeatist and decline is an attitude about our exceptionalism and the prospects for a competitive economic growth but if you're playing a drinking game of the word obama last night something tells me that you got so hammered you just couldn't show up to work this morning let's get into what really stood out and what was completely left out and more importantly what this country would look like if any of the seven it did become the president of the united states joining me to discuss it all is politicos it gave a cat needs
