margie, i'll start with you.e intention was not necessarily to ask political questions but obviously it was interesting that so much of what women are talking about, what they care about, do connect to policy issues that we are talking about, particularly financial worries. >> right. we asked it several different ways. we'd been studying walmart moms, along with a republican pollster, for years. they are proven swing voter. they voted for obama, then they voted republican. then they voted for obama again. in this latest survey with "parade" and walmart, in partnership, we found financial issues were a top concern. they are the top worries they have at night. they are the top dreams an concerns they have for their kids' future. and their biggest regret. we asked a series of things what would you do differently, number one is, i should have learned more about financial literacy, learned more about managing my finances. it is something that really came up a lot. but they're still optimistic. still a majority still s

dionne and margie o'mara. thank you for being here. e.j., how important is it for the president to address this issue of false equivalence? the idea that both sides are somehow equally to blame for the dysfunction in washington? >> i think this was a huge deal what happened here. in a couple of respects. one is, this is a real challenge straight up to the media. and he's echoing what soar people have said, tom mann in his book, it's even worse than it looks argued that look, the republican party now is different from the past. you can't just say democrats have moved left and republicans have moved right. no, republicans have moved farther right. i think he's laying down a gauntlet that will start a debate within the media. and the other thing that's important is in many ways, this may be the real kickoff speech for 20914 campaign. yats over the years have been frustrated when he just called out congress in general. well, this is not congress in general. he's being very specific about the republican party. >> yeah. very specific. and, y

joining me now, margie omara and krystal ball.saturday night, what did you think of the president's performance? >> he's so good at this. i mean he's a hard act to follow because his kmeeding timing is so strong. there was a joke he delivered and the punch line was supposed to be a picture that was supposed to come up on the screen. he's so comfortable he's able to make a joke even out of that mishap and roll with it. but there were some pretty hard punches thrown at the republicans. he had a line about how maybe the affordable care act could give mitch mcconnell a pulse. which is a tough jab. it does show a real frustration he's feeling with them at this point and the fact that he doesn't really have any expectation that things are going to change a whole lot or that they're going to be willing to work with him anyway. >> no. and you know, margie, the fact that the president had a great one-liner about what will happen once he leaves the oval office, watch this. >> let's face it, fox. you'll miss me when i'm gone. it will be hard

on the other side, five states have formally abolished the death penalty in the last five years, margiebe a state issue rather than a policy by the federal government? >> well, it is something that we should discuss nationally, because it reflects who we are as a country, and what the national values are, and right now, you are seeing it happening and a lot of the states on the move, and moving along with the public opinion, and texas and oklahoma are behind the trend in terms of the public opinion. you will see states taking action, and you will continue to see a national debate about this, and the important thing about this case is that the it is a reminder in oklahoma that it is not a one-off, medical e one-off, but a sign that the world is moving gainsts using the death penalty, and that is what made this case so important, and why we need to keep talking about it. >> margie omera and joe watkins, thank you for continuing the conversation. >> thank you. >> thank you. >>> and a pilot lost his life when his plane crashed at an air show in travis air force base, and he is 77-year-old e

there is a margi a margin of er. are they able to hold down a job? are they able to communicate? >> the ultimate thing we can do in this country to hold them responsible, accountable for what they did is to give them the death penalty. we should not be putting people to death in an arbitrary fashion. >> reporter: we also spoke to a prosecuting attorney who said his office takes other factors in consideration, but the brighter that red line is the easiestier ieasier it is for pro apply the law equally. >> he's not a victim. he didn't end up on death row for being a victim. he ended up on death row because he's a vicious murderer-- with a low idea. >> they'll have to reevaluate terms of what institute mental disability. we reached out to the attorney general and she has declined to comment so far. >> natasha, live in miami, thank you. >>> in today's power politics presidential client hillary clinton, david in this teams >> live is planning to run for president in 2016. the book is called "hard choices." it comes out next week. but they released an author's note as well as a video c

and democratic strategist margie omara. for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> how did you help get 8 million people signed up for health care despite creepy uncle sam and $400 until negative ads? >> well, reverend, i think it really comes back to this. when it comes to the issue of health care for their families, americans are not interested in politics and the misinformation that's coming along with those sorts of ads. they're interested in the facts. and the really powerful thing, and i think that tells a lot about dmur of the affordable care act, the more people have the facts, the more interested they are. and what we saw is at the end of the day, in this first enrollment period, over 12.8 million americans gained access to coverage through the marketplace, floug medicaid and through chip. and that number is rising day by day. so at the end of the day, ads like that, they aren't working because americans are taking steps to enroll. >> is creepy uncle sam a symbol of the gop's failure to stop this? and come with pr

. >> margie, speaking of the polling, this is a statistical dead heat, and this is a contest that everybody is watching. it is critical to take control of the senate, and what are you looking for now that mitch mcconnell won so handily last night? >> well, he is hailed as a hero today, because he beat this challenger -- >> ell wshwell, maybe a little exaggerated. >> well, in the georgia race, the two candidates have not said i will support mitch mcconnell for the senate majority leader, because he is vulnerable. he is the ultimate washington insider. >> he is turning it to the positive, i'm the person with the experience and the power, and you want to turn that for a neophyte? >> well, the least most popular institution in the country is washington. nobody embodies that more than mitch mcconnell. he has been a proponent of the campaign finance reform, and finance law, and he is very, very far outside of where majority of the people are. and not only that, but the tea party, you have the republicans talking about the tea party, and the tea party is not only unpopular, unfavorable for years,

margie margolis is chelsea clinton's mother-in-law. she's fighting to win back the pennsylvania house seat she lost in 1994, mostly due to her support for bill clinton's budget, and the former president made some news of his own wednesday. he was firing back at republican strategist karl rove, who suggested hillary clinton might be suffering from a brain injury after a 2012 incident. >> first they said she faked her concussion, and now they say she's auditioning for a part on "the walking dead." now they say she's really got brain damage. >> you think they're just trying to -- >> if she does, then i must be in really tough shape because she's still quicker than i am. >> that response has many speculating the clinton machine is now in full swing, gearing up for 2006. >> you know, karl rove has done two things successfully here. he's, one, injected the issue of age and health into this. i mean, people are talking about it. but two, he's made it sound ridiculous. so, he may have brought it up as an issue but blunted it as an issue at the
