brian: this is one topic i promise not to bring up with laura ingraham should we have her live. erstand his secret tanning formula is also clearly possibly stolen. dave: i'm coming after lindsay lohan. laura: you're the george hamilton at "fox & friends." dave: laura, i get this at the beach. let's talk to someone who's out fishing. sarah palin finally starting to talk about the resignation, and it's still hart to figure out what exactly she's doing. we do have a poll that says republicans are still in strong support of her, 70% say they would vote for her if she ran in 2012. is that really what she's after here, laura? >> i think it's pretty amazing because we have a lot of people trying to speculate why did she do this, is she going to come back, is she going to stay in politics? i'm kind of taking her at her word now, but i think in general she wants to move on to something else, she doesn't think she can be effective in alaska, and she's going to try to make some money for her family and then she's going to see what happens. she says i can't predict, and i don't think any of

joining us from washington, fox news analyst laura ingraham.o am i brilliant or a pinhead on this? >> somewhere in between pinhead and brilliant. look, bill, we love the watches in switzerland, we love the swiss people, we love the cheese, but not necessarily their approach to health care reform, ok? the idea that we have to cover everyone in the united states, everyone, every single person in the united states has to be covered. my answer to that is why? if we have a 22-year-old recent college grad who doesn't want to spend $8,000 a year on health insurance, doesn't want to and the company he is working for doesn't provide it, then why force him to take on coverage? bill: do you want me to answer that question? >> ok. i thought i was going to be able to get -- you are asking a question, i'm going to answer it. bill: it costs the nation so much to treat these people who are uninsured in the emergency room. the law requires that, that it's bankrupting our system. it costs the nation -- because people have no health care, they have terrible habit

i'm laura ingraham, reporting tonight for bill o'reilly. thanks so much for watching. the democrats and race is the subject of tonight's "talking points" memo. the president was elected last november in part on the promise to heel the -- heal the racial divide. we were told it was a watershed moment for race relations in the united states. recently his party and he have in different ways demonstrated in different ways they're not above using race to advance their left-wing agenda. last night president obama spoke to the names and channeled his best germiah wright accent >> if john lewis could brave billy clubs across the bridge, i'm sure our young people can lift up their ability. i know we can be better fathers and better brothers and mothers and sisters in our own families. laura: why is the first african-american president feeling the need to affect an accent he clearly does not possess? or is that the way people speak in honolulu? it's a cheap attempt to pander to people who already support him. and don't forget senator barbara "don't call her ma'am" boxer. at a he

and it's time now for our sunday group, radio talk show host laura ingraham, mara liasson of national public radio, bill kristol of "the weekly standard," and juan williams, also from national public radio. so we lead out in the last segment the growing frustration with the president's stimulus plan. what seems to be a drop in his poll numbers. bill, how much trouble is mr. obama in? >> he's in pretty real trouble. the stimulus was his first big piece of legislation. he got it through as presidents usually get their first piece of legislation through. they promised they'd be created jobs by the summer. they said unemployment could go up to 9%. we'll keep it below 8%. it's now up to 9.5%. it's hurt his credibility. would you trust this team to understand the cap and trade proposal if they got the stimulus so wrong? >> it's a lot of wishful thinking. this man's approval rating is in range of every other president during this period. what bill and other republicans want is for obama to be in trouble. you look at ohio. there are more people saying we're concerned about job loss. you look
