a picture of barack obama there.with the mitt romney one. mitt romney just has clip art and a stock photo eagle. yeah, it's nudge, nudge, wink, wink, we'll launder the money to barack obama and mitt romney, but at least they are nudging and winking. the rick perry people aren't even nudging and winking. here is a picture, and another picture. want to give the money to elect somebody different than barack obama as president? rick perry, rick perry, rick perry. this is perhaps the larger role of rick perry in our national politics today, to make stuff obvious. and maybe that is a metaphor for his broader role in the campaign. but is rick perry's being this blatant about this any different legally than anybody else going around and nudging and winking about their money laundering? mike isikoff is now joining us. thank you for joining us. >> thank you, rachel. >> you probably do not see this as money laundering. but in what ways is it not money laundering? >> one person's money laundering is another's free speech. and it

obama with romney 47, obobama 44.erry 46, question, did these polls show the electriccability of the republican candidate is less important than the ousting of president obama? >> i think you're close to the truth, john. president obama is in serious trouble as a president and a candidate, partly because of a lot of news on the economic front looks like it's even getting worse, but what these polls show us is that as charlie cook said, this race is becoming the republican party's to lose in 2012. the polls also show that the entire republican field it looks like including the controversial ones like michele bachmann may be acceptable to the american people, more importantly acceptable to the independents. everything, though, depends on the -- depends on what happens in the economy, john, because obama is still well liked by the amamican people and they still want him to succeed. >> i don't know how you -- his extraordinary weaknesses demonstrated in the polls. >> the american people have not given up on him. but in ta

mitt romney goes after president obama.er under fire for criticizing her students' bad behavior on the net. did you see that? moments away. >> bill: back of book sellingment. did you see that. mitt romney has been laying low this summer. but now is he beginning to open up on the president. >> change has come to america, america, america. ♪ ♪ >> yes, we can. thank you. >> if i don't have this did you know don in three years, then there is going to be a one-term proposition. >> bill: all right. here now to analyze fox news correspondent juliet huddy. 48%. >> up from 7% to 10%. yeah. >> bill: the employment rate -- the unemployment went up 48%? >> in the last three years since obama gave his speech there at grant park. >> bill: if you look at it objectively, not a party one way or the other, pretty effective ad. >> it's a beautiful ad, very slick ad. takes obama's words and uses them against him and his passion, as you see there, that victory party in grant park there and uses it against him because this is essentially based,

i'm talking about obama. current day. >> i'm talking about double standards. >> laura: substantive thing he talked about oonels and the need for these car manufacturers not just to try to dine out on suv and truck sales and our brain room in new york found out a couple of statistics, 63.75% of all vehicles sold in the united states year to date have been trucks. g.m., second quarter 92% earnings, strong earnings increased because of the global sales and because of the huge production of high margin pickup trucks sold in the united states. this is big money for detroit. and, yet, the president comes in and lecturing detroit about you need to build smaller cars. either of you can chime in here. how does that help america start working again when the chevy volt sold 120-volts in the month of july. 120. >> doing away with trucks. need to buy trucks. talking about fuel efficiency and what is going to sale and what sales on the global market. people want smaller more fuel efficient cars. not dictating it. not takin

what raises have come from obama? and nothing. >> audacity of hope. >> that is before he became president. since he has become president, he has been so consumed with tremendous problems that he has inherited and coming up with in his way reasonable policy solutions, almost as if he cannot do that and reached out to the broad public with those memorable phrases that i think are part of the job. >> which you have to have. bob, let me go back to you and talk of about the lbj comparison that in some ways is so terrible. start with the difference between the way president johnson got things done and the way that this president is or is not getting things done. >> how did lyndon johnson get things done? there were quo ate from a signature use said president kennedy was a wonderful communicator. when he needed a vote, he would have the signature down to the white house and he would give him all the reason to like him. if the center said, if i give you this it will kill me with my constituency, kennedy would say "i understan

barack obama is a type. he has been trained by his parents and his grandparents, as i was trained by my parents and grandparents, not to get to agree with white folks. right? that has the opposite effect of what we want to do. we want to be participants in american life. if i were angry and bitter and walked around frowning all day, i would not have many friends in life, or business partners. we are trained in a largely professional white world to behave a certain way. i learned that from my mother. he learned that from his mother and his grandparents. we can get angry. my wife can attest to that. but in our public persona, we are trained. our behavior is to be upright but not uptight. the real, not phony. but also listen and try to convey we are not going to jump you. i say let's hug them, not mug them. [applause] i am 1000% a supporter of the president. i was four years ago, and i am now. he can learn. they all learn on the job. ender johnson couldn't even read. he had to be taught how to read by his wife.

if obama had lost, hillary won, saying, gee if he only had obama. >> exactly. exactly. opportunity for hope and change in history, and -- >> and there's not all that much difference. that's not like reagan and rockefeller or something like that. they're not that far apart. obama and hillary. >> here's a question. why -- >> they work so well together. >> the heart of progressives who watch this program. it seems to me that the clintons were able to do things like ball, the budget over eight year. worked with -- newt gingrich and did it. voted for welfare reform. got rid of welfare as a right, basically. they did nafta, which drives labor crazy. they were forgiven on every point, gene. this president gets health care through. the greatest social evolvement since the '60s, and he gets nothing but grief. >> well, you know, were the clintons entirely forgiven? i'm not sure they were entirely forgiven. well, you know -- but imagine a hillary clinton administration, imagine bill clinton in the white house. imagine bill clinton in the white house. >> that's good. >> but imagine

the vote for obama was not a vote for obama. it was a vote against bush. that's what elected obama.resident doesn't make law. that's done by the congress. the president doesn't set a budget, that's supposedly done by the congress, although we have been operating for almost three years without a budget because the senate can't pass one as a cons sequence, it's not whether the president has it, it's what we do in congress that's going to make a difference. >> leadership factor here as ronald reagan demonstrated. the stronger you are as a leader, the more you can can a july congress con joel congress to do the right thing. >> the word pojule that mist phis me. what is this guy going to do and what can he influence? he certainly can't make the law and he can't make the budget. yes, he can get on television and speak. and he does that quite often. and apparently it's not working. there is something more fundamental going on here. and that is maybe containsian economics doesn't work. >> bill: it doesn't work. obviously. not in this country and no other countries. >> why are people like fr

ron paul 45%, obama 47%. bachmann very close. obama 48%. bachmann 44%. what about this g.e. deal? i mean, is it me? is it me, mr. rove? you can tell me. is it me? >> look, american companies have the right to partner with whomever they want. i'm worried about two things on this. we know the practice of chinese companies is to require as a price of doing business with them, of being their partner. that you surrender, that you turn over valuable technology. that you, in essence, help their economy along by giving them your intellectual property rights. second of all, g.e. is talking about partnering with a company that does a lot of work with the chinese military. so, g.e.'s sophisticated avionics is going to be put into the hands of a company in essence supplies the chinese military including air force and navy with vital aviation equipment. >> bill: even beyond that jeffrey immelt, the ceo is in charge of the president's council on jobs and competitiveness. this takes jobs overseas to china. and it makes china more competitive against boeing. >> yeah, yeah. >> bill: wait. >> i got

i think for a lot of people who like obama and always will like obama. we love him as a person, you know, he's such a breath of fresh air as a president, a hip, smart law professor. you know, but -- there's just something missing there, as far as the way he fights back. unless he's just more conservative than we thought. whatever it is, i have to tell you, the magic is gone. after the bush tax cuts, he rolled over on that and a number of other things. and this latest one, he has no credibility with me. i heard him the other day, getting right back on the podium saying, now we need tax increases, we need to get some revenues and those corporate jet owners and the oil companies, it's like, wait a second, i just heard this for three months and you gave up on all of it, and didn't get any of it. why would you get it now? why would the bully now give you what you want? >> well, let's talk a bit more about obama when we come back from a break. bill, stay right where you are. we'll have more with bill maher next. >>> tonight the president is celebrating his bir

obama won them by an overwhelming margin. that's an interesting class divide, not so much a race divide. >> that's pretty traditional, the white working class feels threatened by change. what do you say when you hear republicans like reck perry say, we're going to take our country back, not the white house back, what does that mean if it doesn't have a racial ting to it? >> i think it absolutely has a racial ting. that's not the same thing as calling, saying that they're racist. but they are using what activists call, political activists call something, sending a signal to their base to say, we understand the grievances that you have. and there is an interesting, not just a class divide but an interesting psychological divide, too, among black voters that separates black and latino voters from white voters. many white voters are persuaded that the future is not going to be any better. it's going to be gloomier for their children than it was for them. blacks and latinos were hammered more by the recession but they believe the

obama's re-election campaign. if they're hoping the president's political skills bus a loser republican opponent will get him through next november, don't count on it. i worked for president carter against reagan and vote letters not accept the argument had you no choice but to stick with the incumbent. it's a losing strategy. plus, how exactly did the tea party, a minority in one-half of one-third of the government, the house of representative, manage to shape the direction of the country to its will. facts, history, evidence, do not matter to them. all that matters is a commitment to ideology, and willing to risk among other things bringing down the economy if they don't get their way. senator pat moynihan of new york said you're entitled to your on opinion, not your own facts. the tea party disagrees. up in the air, 200 construction projects halted, why? 70,000 construction workers out of work, why? because of another quibble in congress. an effort by republicans to make it harder for airline employees to union

obama.ll the polls show that americans are furious the government could not settle an obvious problem without a chaotic exposition. people are getting hurt as the stock market plummets. the dow down more than 500 points today. 1300 points in the last two weeks. everyone is nervous as retirement and education funds get pounded. the president came off as weak in the debt debate and the bad economy speaks for itself. how can any american be optimistic when the national debt is growing by more than $4 billion every single day. the only thing the debt compromise did was keep america's bonds from being downgraded and allow the feds to continue paying their bills. the deal did nothing, nothing to improve the very shaky economy as the stock market is now telling us. analysis by politico.com today says that president obama is in serious trouble for re-election. but, again, talking points has told you that for months. mr. obama knows he is in trouble. he also knows that republicans will not cooperate

if you are a left wing intellectual, which is what obama is. you believe in a series of principles that don't work. he's been trying for 2 1/2 years now. i saw one reference that a democratic senator said the problem with thex(ipv stimulus package was it should be four times bigger, should be three trillion. i thought there is somebody who has no ability to deal with reality. and no understanding of the real world. that's the base of the modern left wing of the democratic party. it lives a fantasy life. now the fantasies have come crashing to ground. i think they don't toe what to do. i predict if he does -- does come up with some plan in early september it will be dramatically too small. they ought to repeal the dodd-frank bill killing the banking industry now. i met with people in the thai community, korean, chinese community, in every community jobs was the number one concern. in two of the three communities they thought the dodd-frank bill was killing local banks, small business, crippling the housing industry it would be easy to repeal it

they went after barack obama. one -- when newt is saying "i want more substance on why we agree barack obama should be gone, the president shouldn't go on vacation. all of these things during a time of crisis. is there something barack obama could learn from this? >> yeah. i mean it would all attacks being felt they're going to go school on this now and start, and push back hard. but look. the fieldx8ñitself, this was a much better debate. they're getting stronger, these debates are good for them. >> i agree. >> and the only one going after the weaker debate is -- i think everybody else. >> sean: rick santorun got more time at the end. rick santorun. let's talk about herman cane, ron paul who had and had a lot of moments there. and america's got to learn to take a joke. >> that is a great line. >> good line. i like that a lot. >> and more she does that, less political he seems and more real and business-like heÑ seems. did he get enough of a chance to talk in terms of business. >> he should focus more on experienc

obama care has created controversy from the get go.ou know that and a report this week said the cost of the program has been underestimated by 50 billion dollars. i have to point out right now that one of the authors of the paper said he's getting heat for simply reporting what he considered the facts. it would not be the fact so he would get heat from me. this is all speculation about how much obama care would cost if you factored in spouses, children and on and on and on. this is all part of an attack coming from the right that still doesn't like the idea that there is affordable health care in america. >> it is not just the right. 55 percent of the american people want a repeal. >> you know what, 65 percent. by the way, let's be honest with each other. so many on the left president obama should have been aggressive. >> juan, talk to the hand, talk to you hand. this is something that the united states cannot afford. it is a new entitlement and we are facing an epic debt crisis. >> is that what you are hearing about medicare and medic

obama said that is not going to happen.the infrastructure of libya is not that of somalia it is capable of producing a million and a half barrels of oil a day. and there's something in the neighborhood of 50 billion dollars worth of libyan assets that are in the control of nato, the united states and other countries that froze those assets. libya has potential. the problem is, what does in mean for people like assad? in syria he's got an exit. gadhafi has nowhere to run. syria has -- [ talking over each other ] >> sean: probably does. chavez comes to mind first. >> you can't get there from here. his problem is, no planes, now the airport is -- steve harrigan just reported the airport is in the hands of the rebels, there's no way out for in guy. he's not going to get to zimbabwe, south africa, certainly venezuela. >> sean: if gadhafi goes does that mean obama agrees with the bush doctrine on preemption now? >> you make a good point. in there's been ambivalence, uncertainy, certain no coherence to american policy. it was lead

this has been the obama era, i shouldn't even call it the obama era in democratic politics, this is in republican politics, flap flabbergasted republicans. they support pay as you go rules in congress, so does obama, so now they are against that. they support cap and trade, including sarah palin on tape, remember? >> john mccain proposed legislation calling for mandatory cap from global warming gases or co2 emissions, do you agree on that? >> i agree with that, absolutely, he's got a good cap and trade and details are being hashed out right now, but in principle, absolutely i support all that we can do to reduce emissions and clean up this planet. >> republicans support cap and trade. it is a republican idea. obama supports it too, and so now republicans are against it. the individual mandate in health reform as a means of getting everybody covered, not only is that mitt romney's implemented idea from his time as governor in massachusetts, it is a republican idea dating back to the 1990s when people first came up with the idea, so this republican idea, obama is also for that, and so no

obama campaign advisor david axelrod told politico the obama campaign is watching romney's awkward encounterswhen he makes jokes about being unemployed or a waitress pinching him on the butt, it does snap your head back and you say what's he talking about? the obama campaign also plans to use romney's record as a job eliminator against him by makie ing romney "the very picture of greed in the great recession." politico again quotes, "his is very much the profile we've seen, about making money. that's fine, but often times he made it at the expense of jobs in communities." an anonymous source gave politico its juiciest quote. "unless things change and obama can run on accomplishments, he will have to kill romney." that statement is attributed to "a prominent democratic strategist aligned with the white house." which narrows it down to a few hundred people. that juicy bit got this response from the romney campaign. "it is disgraceful that president obama's campaign has launched his reelection with the stated goal to kill his opponent with an onslaught with negative and personal attacks." joinin

if we see obama? another battery plant, i think everybody is ready to give up on wind, solar and hydro. the idea that that will pull us out of the ditch we remain in. i was talking with emanuel cleaver earlier this week, and we were saying, look, there's bound to be disappointment, but at the end of the day, people don't understand what these green jobs are. if that's the only plan he has, i think the white house is in serious trouble. >> what stops them, jon, from proposing -- why don't they have a well-advertised program to put 2 or 3 million people to work on public works projects. put out a list of bridges below code nationwide, all the subway systems, put out the lest, on numbs, on tv, show it, use the advertising ability, and say we want these jobs done. it's the republicans who are stopping it. let's talk about it in the next election. at least they put out in public what they would like to do. i don't know what the president would like to do. >> i think that's a great idea, you know, they reje

they want to know is president obama smart?reaction the editor of the daily caller, tucker carlson. democratic strategist, steve mcmahon. let's take a run down memory lane. if he's such a genius he would have not lost 2 1/2 million jobs, he would have cut the deficit in half like he promised. let's look at some of obama's gaffes that a lot of people didn't pay attention to. >> i've been in 57 states. on this memorial day, as our nation honors its broken line of fallen heroes, i see many in the audience here today. i don't know what the term is in treeian. wheeling and dealing. navy corpsman brushard. he responded to the men and women like corpsman brushard. >> sean: what is a navy corpsman? [ laughing ] >> i don't know sean. >> sean: he read it three times. he didn't know what a corpsman is. >> the conversation we should be having -- >> sean: listen, i want to have my conversation. i want to know what president obama doesn't know what a navy corpsman is, i want to know! that's my conversation. i ask the questions, you answer th

-- opponents and president obama. i do know that nothing gets us more excited here in washington than a presidential campaign. today at the national press club we are welcomed -- pleased to welcome one of the candidates for the gop presidential nomination. buddy roemer served four terms in the u.s. house of representatives, so he is no stranger to washington. before being elected governor of louisiana, as both a democrat and republican. he served as the chief executive officer of business first bank, a community bank in baton rouge, louisiana. the wreck his career, buddy roemer has been known as a reformer not afraid to cross party lines. a longtime proponent of campaign finance reform, governor romer has made fighting the special interest money in washington a platform of his campaign. last month, governor romer promised to reveal and challenge the control of the special interests over our nation's capital and demonstrate what he calls the freedom to lead that can only come from reducing their money. putting his mone

i mean with the obama did it the obama's are not now nor were they before they were in the white house middle class average people they have always been the last fall they've worked hard why would they go to myrtle beach you know which from what i know is strip clubs and trailer parks you know maybe three nice beach areas. you know why would they go there when they had things like that would be a harder area as well to secure with all the you know security detail they have to bring down well but but you're only as you go back a couple of years in the obama's were not in fact wealthy they were in fact middle class they were upper middle class but when they were in you know living in chicago presumably they occasionally went to you know maybe perhaps back in america or at back an islet or places that were a little closer the problem with this particular little cation martha's vineyard is it is known as just the hot bed of the wealthiest people the biggest am celebrities and you can say i'm jealous because i didn't get invited to go this hour but still it isn't a. good symbolism when you'

obama.at this point it's gobble to say which man has the most going for him even though governor perry leads in the polls he is untested in debate and americans don't know him very much. governor romney has big name recognition but many are suspicious of him not popular in republican primaries. the perry romney battle is a toss-up and could go either way depending on how the candidates perform in the upcoming debates. as they like to say in texas. there will be a high noon between these two men. a verbal shootout that will leave just one standing. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. let's bring in the aforementioned carl cameron fox news political correspondent joining us now from washington. what about this feud? is there anything to it? >> a little bit. spot on analysis though, bill, you got it pretty much right. you can almost sum it up by saying look, rick perry has perfect pitch for a texas republican. and when governor mitt romney was leading massachusetts he was very p

no vetting of obama. never seen anybody in the political arena get away as much as this guy with as little scrutiny. >> right. just a footnote, bull connor was of course a democrat, as were all the southern segregationists. but the silver lining to all this is, when we do elect a president because the media will investigate back to our ancestors in 1861 for our candidates and investigate the relatives not only of the candidates. look at how karl rove was investigated and ripped apart. even advisers to republicans will be investigated. the bright side is, we don't end up with a republican president who is suddenly having an affair with an intern. or a republican president who votes prince for his entire term as the economy falls into the toilet. democrats are always surprised when these scandals develop. maybe if the media did five minutes of vetting of their candidates the same level they will do to a ran presidential adviser, it wouldn't be such a big surprise to them. >> sean: you have been all christie

protrude peace for years after two years in office many see if it runs between barack obama and george w. bush at least in terms of foreign policy. neither will leitch has ended and the united states is now involved in the military action in libya it would appear that the parents who won movement to the first gun a role that is for across the arts. all right i usually like to reward the first met had to get up early years for this program but we have two people from los angeles today but i'm going to go to angela anyway i read antiwar dot com every single day many times a day and you do a wonderful service but you know antiwar dot com that was something the really brought people together when bush was going to war i mean legal war that he was pushing and mainstream followed along and now and i think you're a wonderful success but where is the anti-war movement today we have a lot more war if you read and more dot com the united states is complex contemplating military action even more places right now beyond libya so actually what happened. well and i and i know that i owe a lot of the

obama's own submitted budget and deficit projections. and then when speaking of the effort to reduce the deficit, the president has the human being riss to tell conservative -- hubris to tell conservative republicans to take a balanced approach and to eat our peas. if there's anything more catastrophically out of balance than our federal budget it is the arrogance to competency ratio of this white house. we have watched as president obama ran up a trillion-dollar deficit for the first time in history and then break that record the very next year. and then say that we would have, according to his own projections, a trillion-dollar-plus deficit for, quote, years to come. we have watched as the obama administration promised that if we would just allow them to spend $800 million on their stimulus package the economy would rebound. and unemployment would never reach 8%. well, of course that didn't happen. and then we watched this administration bring us obamacare or the health care takeover by government. and, mr. speaker, let me just suggest
