now from capitol hill, itself, response on what is being said there, we want to turn to msnbc's luke russertup late last night talking about this and the news has been observed all morning long and what are you hearing at the hill? >> wellwell, it is quite interesting, thomas. rarely an event for universal praise for president obama up on capitol hill, and that is what you have seen here. although, there is one distinction between the democratic and republican releases. the republican releases also commend president bush for starting the war on terror and commending him with the process that ultimately led to the capture of osama bin laden. a lot of praise for president obama, and a lot of congratulations to president bush as well. but there are tons of hearings up on capitol hill of how well the intelligence community was work ing working in the middle east, whether or not they should continue to put money forward there, and lot of the questions are silenced up on capitol hill, and a lot of support for not only the u.s. intelligence community and the funds for it. we will hear around 1:00 p

it's time for tonight's tool time award and it goes to the young luke russert over and d.c. former sports radio host turned all star political correspondent for m.s.n. we see that when news of the osama bin laden story broke luke was tweeting up a storm and he was still tweeting about the story yesterday what accounts about what had been inside this compound housing bin laden began to get a little bit murky if here is beloved who has been calling for these attacks living in this million dollar plus living. in an area that is far removed from the front hiding behind women who are put in front of them as a shield i think it really just speaks to just tell false his narrative has been over the years. now when brennan said there are some of bin laden used his wife as a shield that sent twitter into a tizzy luke russert tweeted the following he said it is been a lot in using his wife as a human shield really surprising let's not forget how poorly women are treated and much of the arab world. right luke all arabs are so awful their wives and hate women so much that they regularly u

of osama bin laden, we -- [ applause ] >> and now we are bringing in capitol hill correspondent luke russertd we see that the president was getting a standing ovation to that statement, and house speaker boehner was applauding when that crowd, and so was chairman ryan and a host of other top republicans. it is a good solid moment of unification, but that bipartisan goodwill is not going the last too long especially with what is coming up concerning the debt ceiling. >> no, it is not, thomas. if you look at the comments this morning from the majority leader eric cantor, he was quick to praise obama for being able to apprehend osama bin laden and eventually killing him, but he was quick to be critical of the democratic policies when it comes to natural oil production here in the united states. what we will see is a pivot here on capitol hill from what i am hearing from the republicans is because barack obama was able to pull off this killing of bin laden that has eluded america for ten years, it is difficult to attack him as being an inadequate leader which is the argument that you heard about

luke russert joins us. >> it feels good to be here. >> more than just in the box on the television. >> with this beautiful hd set. >> isn't it lovely? >> we have moisturizer and water if you need some. >> that's all we've got for you. how -- were you surprised by this bipartisan support and a brief moment friendship that occurred? >> it was really amazing. the politics in the united states has been quite polarized especially since president obama was elected. there has not been a lot of bipartisanship and there's been a lot of heated rhetoric, but this week after the killing of osama bin laden it was amazing to see on capitol hill, rep reps all of them being supportive of the mission and george w. bush had a lot to do with the capture and mission of osama bin laden by putting the policies in place, but to see that type of unity, i haven't seen that around capitol hill and we're in washington since 9/11. it was an ashmazing thing to se. all of the attacks of the past week were kept on the issues which will be on the budget and that's where we're headed to next week. >> how nasty will t
