our guests donna brazil and kevin madden are still with us. guys, reaction. mean, you have kids, kevin. this must be something you think about as a parent all the time. >> i think it's most important to look at a tragedy like this, not through the lens of partisanship, but of course through the lens, like donna said earlier, i have to look at it as a father, you have to look at it as an expectant mother. i think what's most important is children need to know they can come to their parents to talk to them when they face problems or pressuresivities that's something as a father i would focus on. i think oftentimes many children don't have that outlet or may not feel comfortable that they have that outlet, a guidance counselor or teacher or parent. that's something i think is important to address, you know, encouraging kids to express when they and not stigmatizing. that's something i took away that was a really important point that one of the guests made about stigmatizing mental health. >>> we shouldn't criminalize it. so many people who are seeking treatment

and with a tip of the hat to john madden, like this. >> i really wanted to have a way to show them howngs travel. >> reporter: she's a teacher in indian lake. in the foet po she's holding a note that says i'm talking toin a photo can be seen by lots of people. if you are reading this, please click like. thanks!" within hours, thousands had liked and shared the photo on facebook. then it really took off. a worldwide audience in just a few days after it was reposted on various websites. views skyrocketed. >> it was definitely a little overwhelming. i didn't expect that. that's kind of the lesson is to teach the kids that anyone can see it. >> reporter: a lesson for julie as well. she changed her facebook privacy settings after discovering personal photos were publish viewable. and then there are the manipulations of julie's original photo. the internet had a field day with it. >> this teacher's experiment was fun. and it was relatively harmless. but it can have serious consequences from personal information to sense tiitive photography that you don't want people seeing, private details a

joining me around the table, kevin madden, cory dade, contributing editor at theroot.com and donna brazilu all for joining us. this caught my eye, it was from a column or sort of a how to from kathleen sebelius which appeared yesterday and among her hints to how to deal with this website now was to shop healthcare.gov during off-peak hours. like mornings, nights and weekends. which says to me there still might be some problems. >> well, if you want to, you know, see a website that's loading the pages faster, you're able to get most of your information and she's absolutely right. i got on at 3:00 a.m. this morning, i thought it was a good time to get on the web, and it worked perfectly. but i also got on this morning at 7:00. >> what happened at 7:00? >> it worked fast. some of the bugs are out of it. but the health care law is not just a website. you can a ply in perspply in pe the telephone. there are churches reaching out to the uninsured to get them to apply. to the website, i don't know if it's 100% fixed but at least you have better experience when you get on. >> i think we can be re

for those of us on the single-payer left, the entire spectacle is particular maddening since many ofhe drawbacks, complexities and rube goldbergian nature of the entire romney care mandate and subsidies model. those of us who worried that without a public option, insurance companies would use law to manipulate and panic consumers. those of us who worried about that but ultimately embraced and celebrated and rejoiced at the ata as a massive step forward on the long march for justice. i'm also angry at a mainstream media that due to a combination of gullibility, privilege and sloppiness, has managed to elevate the stories of a very small sliver of the health insurance market into a national panic, while largely allowing the names and faces and fates of the millions of poor people who will be denied health care by republican governors to remain anonymous and untold. but most of all, i am quite simply appalled as i watch a republican party and conservative movement not even pretend to hide their glee and schadenfreude over problems with the law they have done everything in their power to

cnn political contributor and republican strategist, kevin madd madden.host of cnn's "crossfire" van jones and associate editor for "the hill," a.b. stoddard. van, i want to start with you here. if hillary runs, how many times can we start a sentence with those words, if hillary runs, how complicated is her relationship with the president? does she need to run with him in the primary but against him in a general election? >> well, basically, you got to look at her as a very strange woman. she has two husbands. one's name is bill, the other's name is barack. she can't divorce either one of them. she's going to have to hug them, warts and all, and run with them. if she turns against this president at any point before she has this thing wrapped up, the base is not going to have it. this president has come back from the dead 57 times. he will be back. but she cannot get away from him any more than she can from bill clinton. >> complicated. a.b., i'm not going to follow up on the two husband metaphor. that was van jones, cnn, ladies and gentlemen. that's all h

democratic strategist, maria cardona, cnn political commentator and republican strategist, kevin maddennn political commentator and washington correspondent for "the new yorker" ryan lizza. i just have to share, i checked with her, an e-mail that candy crowley sent which said it all. i'm confused, talking about the president. he signs up for the health insurance he doesn't need but he can't do it because he has to do it in person, and he's not in person, and then they send an unknown staffer there to verify it because it's not really him. the white house thought this was a good idea? maria, sorry. you're on the hot seat since you're the democrat here. >> i figured. >> they didn't need to do that. obviously it was symbolic. but the fact that you just read that e-mail i think signifies that the story's not what they would have wanted. >> you think? >> they just shouldn't have done that. they should have focused on there is some good news today about obamacare. they had over a million visits to the website just over the weekend. and they had more than 200,000 calls to the call centers. the
