katty, you first, the game plan right now then for the president? >> the game plan for the president is to make this a choice between obama, and whatever the republican nominee is, and to remind americans that it was republican economic policies that got us into the financial crisis, and that if a republican is elected to the white house, they will implement those same policies that got us -- >> i talk to advisers in the white house who say they want to win on who's got the vision for the future for the economy. they can persuade americans republicans will take the country back. >> they want to prolong this republican nomination. the last thing they want is mitt romney to win this quickly. they're going to do what they can to help rick perry attack mitt romney, in any way they can, but don't be surprised if you start seeing some stuff that doesn't make a lot of sense for the democratic campaign to be saying but it's a way of trying to goose perry to say, hey, look, attack romney this way in the primaries because they want to prolong the race. >> sun

katty, they have been around for a couple weeks. the tea party is part of the history and they're beating them 2-1 in public support. >> it took americans so long to come out and protest given how dire the state of the economy is and how the gross inequality has been so great over the last couple of years. it's interesting that they have tapped in clearly to a general dissatisfaction with the direction that america is taking in terms of the economy. the people are seeing the top 1% of the country that mitt romney referred to, taking a larger and larger slice of the g.d.p. that resonates with how they're feeling at home. so long as the protests stay nonviolent, i think which is critical, then there seems to be more support for it. >> newt likes to exude disdain every time he opens his mouth. he does have a point. in terms of substance, the american people and a lot of the tea party people are with the anti-wall street protesters. in terms of style, if this starts getting weird and maybe violent, then -- >> i have seen the dynamic of

chris: katty, do you agree with that? >> it carries risks in this environment. it's different times than the 1960's. you can see it being picked up by republicans as president obama saying i screwed it up. >> chris: how does he is a i have learned? >> i mean, i think one thing he could do is have more of his people out there defending him. >> for the millionth time. >> one big obama supporter in 2008 who is having wobbles when i spoke to him recently, he didn't come in like clinton did with a whole back bench of people who were going to ram rod through his aenda. >> but he can't come out and say,s hard and, gee, i screwed up. that's not much of a message. what he has got to do is look -- and this is the thing i think people and it's in your kennedy book, people really like, even if they somewhat disagree, a president acting and using presidential power to fix problems. you need to get somebody going in there slamming the fist down and say, let's everyday work on using this power to fix problems. chris: starting to do that with executive orders. before we break,

charles, katty. that loses presidential elections.the long run. >> charles is right, though. they are scared of offending anybody. remember, rick perry was asked point blank by a reporter, do you think the president loves america? well, you would have to ask him. everyone is afraid to come out and say what they think. i think rick perry believes that president obama loves america somewhere diem deep in his heart. he is afraid to say it because he feels like he will be viewed by people on the right as being in bed with president obama or supporting his policies by saying that the president of the you states loves his country. >> that's the thing that chris christie had. it wasn't just standing up to unions. you ask chris christie. does the president love america? of course, the president loves america but he was strong enough to carry that off. just tell the truth. he didn't worry about what somebody was going to say, richard oz. of course, the president was. he selected a muslim as a judge in the year of the ground zero muslim communi
