and don't tell me it's obama care. because obama's gift to senior citizens right now is to steal from them $500 billion out of medicare. that's not going to wash in the united states of america. [applause] i am the very first member of congress who went down the very first morning after the passage of obama care. i stayed with up my staff until after midnight the night that obama care passed. because i said to my staff, we will not allow socialized medicine to stand in this country. tell the american people, all is not lost, we will repeal obama care. and the next morning i marched to the floor of the house of representatives and i was the first member of congress to file an appeal bill. and i want you to know this, as president of the united states, i will not rest until we appeal obama care. you can take that to the bank. you can cash that check. we will repeal obama care in the us of america. it will happen. have hope, have real hope. we will. i wonder if they are listening in the white house now, you will in 2012.

[cheering] of the moneygal obama. i come home to find the -- that we lost along the way. >> president barack first lady this week attended a g-8 summit in europe. the first stop was dublin. irish prime minister kenny greeted the president and the first lady. president obama and his entourage then traveled by motorcade the 87 miles to moneygall, to visit a distant relative of five generations ago, his great, great, great- grandfather. his name was -- kearny. in moneygall, obama tried his own hand at rhythms, coupled are three words of authentic gaelic. >> remember that whatever hardships the winter may bring, springtime is always just around the corner. if they they keep arguing with you, just respond with the simple creed -- yes, we can! >> question, will were there compelling reasons for the state visit to the irish people? or was this mostly a campaign event, pat? >> look, i think it was terrific. the irish are one of few people on this earth that really like americans. he goes over there, he's got ancestors there,

turn to for indeed we've heard different dates when we had candidate obama and then president obama and now if i go back to garrett one of the things i find interesting as well is it going to defense gates also said that the u.s. is involved in. negotiations with the taliban what does that mean is i declare is that it mission of defeat of how to get out now and not dictating what kind of security arrangement be in afghanistan when quote unquote american troops leave. well not really i think the negotiating ploy of the united states at this point is to in a way have it both ways on one hand you know they're suggesting to the american people that we're really in the process of getting a political settlement here and we've succeeded and in getting talks started of course that's not really true they've had preliminary contacts in which the taliban have made it clear that they're not going to sit down with karzai regime particularly when the united states is not offering a timetable for withdrawal and so on the other hand what's going on is the united states is trying to put pressure on the

and thin there's obama the pragmatic american president.that's the barack obama who's looking after america's national security, interest, economic interest. have you the soaring rhetoric and the barack obama who's standing there in front of a stadium full of people saying, you know, or saying, for instance, protesters in the middle east, you can get this done. then you have the barack obama who has got to think about oil prices -- chris: israel. >> and all of that. and they are two different things but you have to learn how to balance both. chris: he has made since the election, as helene pointed out. a couple changes. he did go on to tax cuts to the rich. he did say to the governors this spring or late winter, he said you know gorks ahead. if you don't like the individual man who covers part of this thing in the health care bill, come up with something better. he's opening the door from his change. >> absolutely. if you remember his interview with jon stewart from last year, hey, when we said we promised the american people change you can

i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you know sometimes you see a story.

president barack obama, a democrat. kucinich and nine other house members are suing the president for violating the war powers act. the 1973 war powers act calls on the president to notify congress when u.s. troops are in combat situations and to withdraw them within 60 days of the notification unless both houses of congress declare war or otherwise approve the use of the troops. the 10 lawmakers argue that the president violated this war powers act by not receiving congressional approval for u.s. military actions against libyan leader moammar gaddafi. president obama's 60 days safe harbor period ended without any authorization from congress. north carolina republican congressman walter jones says the president not only violated the the war powers act, but als the u.s. constitution. >> where and when does the constitution say to a president, you may bypass congress and send millions of dollars of bombs and equipment over to invade a country that is not a threat to you? >> on wednesday, president obama submitted a 30-pag

well i wouldn't quite put it that obama is trying to satisfy public opinion in a sense opinion in the united states on afghanistan is way ahead of president obama in terms of the desire to withdraw troops in the latest pew poll shows fifty six percent. to thirty eight percent want to withdraw our troops as soon as possible only thirty eight percent are interested in keeping troops there until the situation is stabilized called unquote so i mean that's really you know it's not that obama is satisfied in public opinion what he's doing is primarily satisfying the interests of the pentagon in the military they have gotten most of i would say eighty percent of what they wanted whereas the faction in his administration was really concerned about the cost of the war got very little of what they wanted electricity interview in london what is obama's priorities then because a lot of people see this is this kind of smoke and mirrors that it's not really a real drawback at least at this point because a spoiled withdrawing the number of troops is still there still really very few deadlines out th

house of representatives has voted down a measure giving barack obama be authority to continue american military action in libya but it's seen as a merely symbolic falling out between congress and the president as the house later rejected a bill to cut funding for the campaign. declassified documents reveal the u.k. was happy to hand over terrorist suspects to the u.s. with little regard for what would be waiting for them in secret prisons one side of washington's jurisdiction hundreds ended up being tortured and abused without a trial. mourning the euro the fate of the common currency is in serious doubt as europe agrees on another bailouts and that played in greece but there is the country to get behind savage spending cuts over some experts argue it's too late as the euro already has both feet in the great. plus the former prime minister of ukraine goes on trial for peace a power that's alleged to have cost the country millions of dollars he did some ashamed of faces up to ten years behind bars if convicted in kenya i'll be back with more news for you in less than thirty minutes from

administration has dismissed this report so what have the obama one say this is a legitimate debate the next year republicans have no trust in obama on national security take a look at the defense authorization act and they want to tie his hands when it comes to the start treaty so tonight will determine how bad this bill could be for a nuclear free world and is it just me or does the media have wiener fever i know i'm not just talking about anyway here i'm talking about the crotch shot the made it onto representative anthony weiner's twitter page so why is this stupid story headline is built of and that all those issues and how some fun are happy our segment up first tonight's top story. jobs numbers for the month of may are coming out tomorrow and everything is pointing to a disappointing report you can add that to the home price index that was released which was found that home prices have fallen to a new low and it's looking more and more like we're headed for a double dip that's not something of a fourteen million unemployed americans want to hear when gas and food prices are r

obama will tour later this week. he gave then senator barack obama, a tour of the prison in 2006, shared his impression of mandela today. >> the outstanding qualities are, of course, his foresight and courage and care and compassion for all people. >> reporter: mrs. obama also spent time touring the offices of the nelson mandela foundation with mandela's wife, including a museum dedicated to preserving his personal records from the apartheid era. and outside the city of johannesberg was abuzz. this local radio station was flooded with calls. >> i've got alex on the line. you've seen the obama convoy, have you, alex? >> yes, david. >> reporter: mrs. obama ended the day playing with kids at a daycare center and reading an american favorite. >> "the cat in the hat" i used to read this book to malia and sash all the time when they were little. >> reporter: spending time with those that inherited freedom that nelson mandela fought so hard to win. now, tomorrow mrs. obama will deliver the keynote speech of this trip to 75

the best example is obama care.'s wrong with that, ali, is the fact that under obama care, even the congressional budget office says we will lose 800,000 jobs. that's something we can't afford in this economy. that's why i subscribe to a supply and demand view of the free markets. i want to see job growth. we'll create hundreds of thousands of jobs under the free market as opposed to the command and control view of president obama. that's the message i look forward to taking across the united states. >> congresswoman bachmann, i enjoy having this conversation with you, because i know you know taxes better than possibly anyone standing on that stage. it's a constant republican mantra that lowering taxes will create jobs and that america has some of the highest corporate tax rates in the world. you know full well that really american corporations don't pay those taxes, so on balance, american corporations are not taxed more than others. how do we deal with that? >> well, the taxes are paid as you know by the consumers

that's a hard thing for president obama to do. but that said, i think he's much more pushing the counterterrorism. chris: this is a political question to both of you. mike, first. this question of going down the middle of the road, somewhere between the military who say, stick it out as long as it takes and his own promise to get us out eventually by 2014. there's no love for that middle. >> no. he's a victim of his own success. americans thought we were in afghanistan to get osama bin laden. he's dead now. barack obama had a huge hand, maybe the decisive hand in making that happen. now americans in the polls make it very clear that they're done. for obama the problem is, as i think david was trying to say, like all presidents, the longer they live with the war, whether it was lyndon johnson or george w. bush in iraq, they've become involved in the details and they see the light at the tunnel. they see they can get to the ends of their policy. it's not clear that he will. chris: you have so much on your plate now, norah. you're go

this is the obama deficit. obama debt. due to obama spending. and president obama is overspending by $1.5 trillion this year. we can't do that. people know that the spending is what's causing the trouble in this country. >> schieffer: congresswoman, i have to take issue with what you say that they would be able to pay their... the government would be able to pay its financial obligations. experts inside and outside the government say that if we don't raise the debt ceiling, we face the united states having to default on its financial obligations. are you saying these are scare tactics? are you saying that's not true? how can you say that? >> it is scare tactics because, bob, the interest on the debt isn't any more than 10% of what we're taking in. in fact it's less than that. so the treasury secretary can very simply pay the interest on the debt first, and then we're not in default. what it means is is we have to seriously prioritize. now it would be very tough love, but i have been here long enough in washington d.c. that i seen smoke and mirro

barack obama is my candidate. i am very enthusiastic about barack obama.eople do not realize, the stuff that he put through. we would be better off but the party of "no" kill that. host: who do you like today? caller: rick perry. i am a christian voters. he is going to stand up for what is right. i cannot vote for barack obama because of his stand on abortion. abortion is premeditated murder. people voting for him are voting for premeditated murder. rick perry, he stands up for god. american can do the same thing if we stand up for god and turn away from abortion and gay marriage. this nation will turn around. god owns you me and everybody. he owns us. he can turn this nation around. i appreciate you taking my call. host: from the hill, obama reelection campaign takes over twitter and facebook. it will be run by staff by his reelection campaign. they announced friday that the president will post regularly. "why make the change? as the president said, he is focused on doing the job we elected him to do. he is counting on all of us to leave this organization

president obama can't tell that story.ling grade on it. >> the reason we're seeing this second dip is because of nrmg prices and this president has put a stop sign against oil drilling. against any kind of exploration offshore or alaska and that's depressing. >> and obama campaign surrogate, robert gibbs, former white house spokesman, what did you think? obviously your former boss took a lot of hits. >> as expected in a big republican crowd. >> you're the only one wearing a blue tie here by the way. >> that's good. i'll say this. i think if you wanted to hear republicans talk about the policies that were espoused in 2007 and 2008, that got us into the economic mess that we're trying to get ourselves out of tonight, that's the economic platform that was introduced by these candidates tonight. if you think we're a tax cut for a millionaire or billionaire way from creating more jobs, that's exactly what these candidates espouse tonight. >> what we heard over and over again was 9.1% unemployment and president obama doesn't rea

welcome the cross talk on people about exit strategy obama's long awaited plan to start drawing down troops levels in afghanistan is in play but is it a real drawdown or just a reduction of the so-called surge of eighteen months ago did obama capitulate to public opinion over military needs and will american and nato troops ever completely leave afghanistan the afghans. can. still. get cross-talk u.s. afghan strategy i'm joined by gareth porter in washington he's an investigative historian and journalist also in washington we have sam side by he is senior director of iran programs at nonviolence international and in london we crossed the alexis crow she's a research fellow in the international security program at chapman house all right folks this is cross talk and that means cross talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want gareth i'd like to go to you first in washington these tales of obama's pullback from afghanistan or are we becoming more and more clear are you satisfied that it's legitimate or is it just all about domestic politics the united states obama

where is president obama? i think he's what you said, he's on the road to 2012, about to raise a billion dollars, not going to turn his back on the very small elite that is supporting him. but what about the majority of the people in this country? >> cornell? >> look, a closed mouth doesn't get fed, so the left is doing what they should be doing, rallying for their cause and putting pressure on the white house. but i think the president is going to have a good story to tell. when you look at us drawing down from iraq and in a year or so, we'll be drawing down from afghanistan. wall street, we're going to hold banks accountable. consumer reform -- >> does he have a choice there? >> i think he does have a choice. when you look at the consumer protection, when you look at for the first time, don't ask, don't tell, he's got a good story to tell progressives. >> let's listen to one more ex-change. the president said he opposed same-sex marriage. but there was a mixup when some aide filled out a brochure. listen to

obama -- mr. obama's announcement outlined the exit of the forces he sent.he reductions are larger and faster than military commanders have advised. while president obama said u.s. forces were fulfilling their goals in the afghanistan, it led to this announcement today. >> we will be able to remove 10,000 of our troops from afghanistan by the end of this year. we will bring home a total of 33,000 troops by next summer, fully recovering the surge by analyst at west point. after this initial reduction, our troops will continue coming home at a steady pace as afghan security forces moved into the lead. our mission will change from combat to support. by 2014, this process of transition will be complete and the afghan people will be responsible for their own security. >> he added that, by working together with their allies, the afghan forces are ready to meet the challenge . >> in afghanistan, we have inflicted serious losses on the taliban and taken a number of its strongholds. along with their surge, our allies also increased their commitments which helped stab

nor really has there been much discussion of war powers act defending his position obama has slipped into double speak saying he was put suspicion has entailed a non-kinetic support only and that nato was ultimately in charge of the mission all elements that did not make up for the fact that the so to speak made a lead mission will have cost the u.s. seven hundred fifty million dollars by the end of september many white house officials say u.s. involvement in libya is to. small scale to test the last threshold were even if obama were to go to congress so the most likely have a little trouble securing of that point were this wild land he would never mother wore on his watch and expose his foreign policy and by partisan wrangling. for cost our. ok i'd like to go to david first in denver before we talk about the policy implications all this with look at the legality of it and that's one of the reasons why we've asked you to come on the program so i'll ask you is president barack obama in violation of the law in violation of the war powers act sure he's an obvious violation of the war po

obama simply has to make the point.ut the consequence of those observations is that he suggest we need to address this problem of inequality. my hope is that if he is elected to a second term and if he is elected with a sufficiently friendly congress, that this rethinking of the tax code will move in that direction of a more equitable distribution of wealth. but, i was inspired by his account of that in the audacity of hope. i have been less convinced by his relative inattention to that question since he was elected. speeds of the definition of the level of polarization really is key. if you take it as rhetorical it is one thing. if you take it as economic class, it is another. if you take it as religious, you have a different number. there you have 35% of the american people saying they have had a direct personal experience with the divine. that is a lot more than 18. and if you could harness that as george w. bush did, you have a very formidable poet akel force. religion, i guess the last thing i want to ask you about

obama's change we can believe in has become obama's business as usual. to defeat barack obama, we must talk about his record. thankfully, with the help of the conservative movement. america understands what he meant when he wanted to change america. when he said that in 2008. president obama is trying to institute a european socialist style government upon americans. chris matthews said msnbc believes what i said is a slur. i am not sure why because it is the truth. obama himself has said, "in america there is a failure to appreciate europe's leading role in the world." america fought two world wars to save europe from tyranny. president obama is flat wrong. i say it is europe who has failed to see the leading role of the united states. [applause] i believe that america is an exceptional nation. president obama does not. we do not have to copy the failed socialist policies that have come out of these many european capitals to know that. the fact is, america is a center right nation and it will take an american pro negative free market policies to get our

obama was deeply moved by the open arms.olo trip to africa as first lady, she brought her daughters, sasha and malia, and mother, mrs. robinson, three generations looking to inspire the young people of south africa. mrs. obama spoke of eliminating hunger, and hiv and empowering young women. we were with her at cape town university, where she told disadvantaged high school students, the first generation to grow up after apartheid that there is still history to be made here. >> you are looking at those young faces saying i see the same promise that i see in all of you that i see in my own girls. >> i know how fortunate my girs have been, because it's not the material things that they have. but they have unconditional love. they have people every day who are telling them in ways big and small how special they are. i know that there's so many children who don't have that at all. >> reporter: patience, she told the student, pointing to nelson mandela who is now 92. mrs. obama and the girls were invited to meet him. >> nelson mand

obama-care.applause] >> again, again, the american people understand this. obama-care is costing jobs. how would any employer in his right mind decide to hire more people when he does not even know what his obligations and costs for health care are going to be for his employees? you see employers who are getting people to work more overtime, the you do not see them hiring new people, and this is another big impediment that this government-run health care system, that will force them to buy health insurance at lord knows what costs -- we do know one thing about the costs, the congressional budget office says the cost of health care under obama-care is going to go up. health insurance premiums are going to go up. that was not the idea most of us had one we started talking about health-care reform. we thought we would do something to help control the cost of health care. instead, we get a government-run health care system crammed down our throats that, again, hurts the economy. we are going to have

congress which seems to have been neglecting its responsibilities along with obama's defiance of the law senator john mccain has even gone so far as to dismiss the law altogether saying the president has recognized the constitutionality of the war powers act and nor do i and there doesn't seem to be any great movement towards acting but some lawmakers have attempted to have sway on the issue like republican richard lugar a member of the senate foreign relations committee called an obama to respect the act. and present it nicely decorated war began with. nor really has there been much discussion of the war powers act defending his position obama has slipped into double speak saying u.s. participation has entailed a non-kinetic support only and that nato was ultimately in charge of the mission a woman's the do not make up for the fact that the so to speak of nato led mission will have cost the u.s. seven hundred fifty million dollars by the end of september many white house officials say u.s. involvement in libya is to. small scale two plus the last threshold but even if obama were to

obama felt -- you're writing in a general way, too, but obama felt disrespected and trapped and at different times he felt that the military was maneuvering around him. did they think they could take a young president? >> some of them might have thought that. so the president, who is supposed to be the decider, who is supposed to have choice, and you've got these blocks of granite out there saying, oh, no, you really don't have a choice, this is the way to do it. and he was not happy. >> reporter: do you think there has been a transformation of sorts with the president since that time? >> he's grown in the sense that, you know, the more you make these decisions, the more you deal with military commanders, the more you feel the weight of the oval office. you grow. as a result, he feels comfortable and confident that he's making the right decisions. >> reporter: while tonight's decision about troops may have been easier, the timing of it couldn't be more critical for obama. the full drawdown of 33,000 surge troops is expected to be completed by september of 2012, just in time for the president

third, obama care takes $500 billion from medicare and funds obama care. we, of course, didn't do that. and finally, ours was a state plan, a state solution. if people don't like it in our state they can change it. that's why states are the right place for this type of responsibility. that's why i introduced the plan to repeal obama care and replace it with the state-center program. >> governor, you heard the governor rebutt your characterization, obamany care, why? >> let me say to sylvia, she has put her finger on one of the most 30r7b9 issues facing the country. president obama stood before the nation and said he promised to do health care reform focused on cost containment along with republicans and he'd do it on a bipartisan -- >> the question was why, obamany care. >> i'll get to that. >> you have 30 seconds. >> this is another example of him breaking his promise and he has to be accountable. in order to prosecute the case you have to show you have a better plan and a different plan. we took a different approach in minnesota. we didn't use top-down g

do you hold me to you to hold mr campbell was the thought of seeing this letter scorning this the obama already. good response aboard well that may be how some feel but will any of those men really be responsible for the civilian deaths in libya. and a man who's been against the war all along has just won another political contest so why is ron paul still seen as a fringe candidate especially since nearly three quarters of likely u.s. voters seem to agree with him. and our t.v. words are asking the questions from the rise of the missouri river to a no fly zone they have every reason to be suspicious about four council nuclear power stations so what's really going on here. it's monday june twentieth four pm in washington d.c. i'm christine for is out here watching our team her top story today u.s. involvement in foreign wars and the fact that while these decisions continue to be made from the top and overwhelming majority of americans are unhappy about it all conducted last week by the polls opinion research found that seventy two percent of voters believe the united states is involved i
