president obama says president putin does not play by 21st century rules and putin says that obama does not abide by the rules either. who is right and who is wrong? pat buchanan. >> i think president putin and an effective speech, up to 80% approval say you condemn us for holding a referendum in crimea and reclaiming crimea with a single casualty and one death when you americans basically bombed serya for 78 days to rip away the an province of cost aco. the soviet union took the army out of eastern europe and dissolved the pact and we moved nato to central and eastern europe to the former soviet republics and tried toably in ukraine and georgia, he is saying get out of our face and space and that's why the whole kremlin got up and cheered and applaud and wept. >> he is at 85% approval because he shut down any voices of opposition in the media. they call themselves a democracy but it is not. it is a rubber stamp legislature. if that is the kind of country you aspire to, pat, we can set rules at the top and have no opposition. this is a selective reading of history but i am not unsympath

but alex singh, the democrat supported obama care but wanted to fix obama care. when she was asked what she would do to fix the obama care, she only had two ideas. help the government purchase prescription drugs for medicare and repole the medical equipment tax. that doesn't attack the bigger problems of higher premiums and narrow choices of doctors and prescription drugs. democrats have to address the issue if they are going to argue that they are going to fix obama care. >> we'll see how the white house is addressing the issue. we'll take it live with jay carney. thank you for your perspective, bill? >> and meanwhile, with a stroke of a pen, president obama is set to sign an excutive order to force american businesses to give moreover time pay to millions of american workers. meiss france isz, what is the change and all of this about? >> you may have wondered why you get paid over time for some jobs and not others. the federal law is if you earn less than $455 a week, you everyone over time. the president wants to double it and this would mean 5 million more pe

>> well, i think it is clear that both president obama and michelle obama seem to be on the same page with that. remember as soon as hillary clinton was finished with secretary of state her first interview was side by side with president obama almost as if he was passing the baton and giving the okay on not only on how he felt she did at state and looking forward to what she might do after. i know in reporting on some of the things that mark halperin is reporting on, one thing is how to build a black tire wall. remember that was really why barack obama in 2008 was able to beat hillary clinton. he was able to get those african-american voters to get on board with his candidacy. one thing they have done is focus on african-american women. they have gone to hair shows in atlanta, georgia. they have been down in south carolina where the cost is $20.16. they have had events here in washington. they had an eevent last week called her voice, her values, our improvement. they are trying to wrap her into this legacy. >> what do you get for $20? >> you get entree to an event and rub shoulders.

all president obama think you are invincible why are you not buying obama care? and no one is liftings up. >> and ashley if you could give her advice. >> don't be a knucklehead. is that what michelle obama would say? if you want to be independent and that is what she wanted and the she didn't loc the rules in the house or whatever it might have been for her, true independent mean that her parents no longer pays for her. she is a teen zila and i got to so my parents and my parents were like we are happy with how we raised you because you are grateful and you would not have acted that way and her to move back home. and the lawsuit was not dropped when she moved back home. she is taking advantage of the parents. >> if i told my parents i was going to sue them they would be looking for me like jimmy hoffa. is the message don't ask what your country can do for you but what you need to do with the country. >> in case you are wondering, this is the other piece not showing up in the story. millennials are breaking in half. we are seeing it in the data and you are getting

obama gotten what he wants and putin has gotten what he wants here. >> so you believe that barack obamar of america? >> well, billy you say every night i hear you almost saying he is too smart. he must have a play. he doesn't have a play, billy. he doesn't have a play, man. this isn't jujitsu thing. this is the way he sees the thing. our only hope in the future is russia and china both go after the same pieces of meat like crimea. wipe each other out and maybe we come into the number one position. at this point like i said i think he wanted to get off -- and it's time for him to stand in front of a banner saying mission accomplished. eye just thankful he keeps biden out of it if he plugs that kinsey over there we could all get vaporized. putin be on dancing with the stars. at this point putin is in obama's head. like that dennis weaver film called -- keeps looking over. putin truck is behind him. banging him in the back. scaring the living hell out of him. he isn't going to do anything. we are just going to run a little faster. just the way it is. >> now, do you like merkel and germany?

this is president obama speaking to audiences back home. you heard in that clip, he said that their economy was not as affected by this and they do not have russian troops on their border. americans may think that they are not directly threatened by this, but they cannot ignore what russia has done. >> of course, americans wonder -- is europe prepared to make the tough sacrifices that sanctions against russia -- particularly energy sanctions -- would require? >> coming to europe this week, it has an interesting because you have to have some sympathy for this continent. the average unemployment rate in the eurozone is 12%, almost double the unemployment rate in america. this is a very fragile economy. people are still in the grips of recession, and doing anything that could topple european economies is a very heavy price to ask. americans are saying, "hold on a second -- you miss handled this by being so tough on ukraine when those protest started in december. you should pay the price." europeans are saying, "help us out. help us with natura

how did president obama spend his day? imposing symbolic sanctions that will prevent russian thugs and oligarchs from vacationing at disney world. he could get rid of the symbolic liberalism and boost defense spending. that might start to convince put than the u.s. is serious. >> look, newt, the president has been taking serious steps all day, but no step seems to be enough to stop his republican critics. in the "crossfire" dpmt senator ben cardin and republican senator lindsey graham. senator graham, to hear republican rhetoric -- good evening. you would think that president obama's just been sitting around twiddling his thumbs. he's imposed visa restrictions, proposed sanctions proposed an ai aid package and sent planes. so would it be time to stop criticizing the president? >> in the last 24 hour he's done a very good job. my problem is the way the president engages not just putin but the world. i think the big problem with president obama, i don't think he has a vision of foreign policy. i think he's uncomfortable with

julianna goldman talks obama's budget. and paul ryan's plan. >> we start the program with governor rick perry of texas. thank you for joining us. you have a commode to us reception when you spoke your this morning. you have said that you're going to hold off on whether you will run again for president until the end of 2014. the conventional wisdom has been another texan, ted cruz, has stolen your thunder. >> i hope ted and i are working towards the same goal, which is to make washington less consequential in people's lives evolve the power back to the state. i believe with all my heart that the state is the laboratory of innovation. >> you think being a governor puts you in a better position for senator cruz? >> i think that is a question better for other people to answer. being the governor of texas, you have to do with issues. you don't have the opportunity to push them off or have a cr or what have you. we have a balance budget but a minute. i think that is a good thing. i was the u.s. had that restriction. >> he has no

once barack obama became president, bill kristol said he knew who barack obama was going to pick as his first nominee for the supreme court. he said he had it on good authority. >> if he has made up his mind, and i think it's going to be jennifer granholm, the governor of michigan. >> less than a week later, president obama did nominate his first supreme court nominee. it was not jennifer granholm, governor of michigan. when president obama was running for re-election in 2012, bill kristol announced to the world his exclusive news that rudy giuliani, once again, was running for president. rudy is running, i'm told by reliable sources rudy giuliani intends to run for the gop nomination for president in 2012. rudy giuliani was just about to declare he was in the running for 2012. rudy giuliani did not run for president in 2012. bill kristol is amazing. bill kristol once went on the "larry king show" which used to be on cnn and he told larry king that what america was going through right in that moment was the high water mark of the gay rights movement. that there would never be further ac

lou: president obama is . >>> president obama's threats being ignored by vladimir putin as he continues to selectively enforce laws at home, he's -- well, he's worried a little bit about enforcing international law. we're joined now to tell us what this president is thinking and vladimir putin as well, leading psycho therapist robi ludwig. the president in a poll released today found to be a weaker leader in the views of many than president putin, what do you make of this? >> well, he seems to be weaker. he seems to be an avoid ant kind of president. putin isn't afraid. there's no connection between president obama and putin. you can almost imagine the conversation. i don't think putin has any respect for obama. he certainly has no respect for the united states. >> you know what, he seemed to be the president -- president obama seemed to be almost -- when he was talking to medvedev, we'll be more flexible after the election in 2012, a as if he wanted to give far more than anyone could imagine. >> well, putin is breaking international law and obama just seems to have a very passive way o

i believe it because president obama r. president obama said 20 years ago the cold war ended. he said to medvedev tell val valentine's vladimir putin when i'm elected i will be more flexible. we are paying a very very heavy price for it. >> what do you think president putin is thinking tonight and what do you think that president obama is thinking tonight? >> i think that vladimir is thinking i got what i wanted crimea. by the way russia signed a treaty in 1994 guaranteeing crimea's territorial integrity as part of ukraine. but he is feeling good. he now is deciding how much of eastern ukraine he is going to cause problems in that really is something that we can't be really sure of. >> is he going forward than crimea? >> i think it's very possible that he would go further and cause, quote, demonstrations amongst the russian speaking people in the ukraine who by the way don't want to be part of russia. that's. -- unless we understand that vladimir putin is part of the old kgb that wants to restore the russian empire, he said, not me, putin said the greatest catastrophe of the 2

president obama has found a way.s in asia last summer and the president earlier laster said that he was going to have a to asia and they want the u.s. involved in asia as they worry about china's the jansenism and bullying. we don't have enough of resident said that he was right to do this. nothing. >> let's look at his options you want i'm sorry, i have to interrupt you. we just received word that the pentagon had suspended all thoughts with russia. >> we're now seeing what the range of options on it. and i think it is a moment in the president is doing everything that he can do. to do what fred said. >> i find it utterly stupefied. and when we hear this, they are going to do this or do that. and when the world was it not the responsibility of the president of the united states, not to call them names, not td d to the things to get out. this is not the language of an american president. >> that's right, we have surprised him was something they don't want to do. >> so why didn't he listen to mitt romney? this is not

didn't need obama care. what this represents is a view of government that has more government in our lives. more government in our businesses, it cripples the economy, it hurts employment. there's an individual mandate that people cannot embrace as a view of government that they think is right for the future of our country. yes, it was an issue, the voters made it an issue. at the end of the day, obama care represents something put forward by the president that people reject. >> nancy pelosi came out and said, the democrats knew this would be an uphill battle. for those who say this spelled trouble for the democrats, she's saying, no it doesn't. >> i think my new colleague may be engaging in some spin control this evening. i will tell you this. megyn i can tell you this, we can't draw a mandate from this race. it was a close race. what is important is that a republican in a district that president obama had won twice, a first time candidate going up against a handpicked candidate from out of town, picked by

obama dropped the theme of inequality? the writer jon favreau tells us, anytime the democrat mentions inequality, suddenly they are they reaching populist. well, is being eight populist such of bad thing these days? many raging populist are taking hard. michael to masking in the new york review of books notes there's an optimism among liberals of the democratic party, after years of moving to the right, it's finally stopped chewing its way leftward, away from economic centrism and populism that the party as ahold has not embraced for years or even decades. >>> one people in particular to thank fothe survival, thus she said senator elizabeth warren, the professor harvard law school. after congress approved the troubled asset relief program, warren was selected by senate majority leader harry reid to supervise how the $700 billion bank bailout was to be administered. talk did most to get the country out of the 2008 financial crisis. warren also helped design the consumer financial protection bureau which helps consumers stee

he enjoys thumping at obama. putin is the big bad russian wolf. and obama is a bunny rabbit. let's face the facts here. putin, without firing a shot, managed to seize crimea, he is never going to give it back there is nothing we will do to make him give it back. what will we do about that? virtually nothing. all this nonsense about sanctions and all that stuff. it's not going to happen in a meaningful way because europeans won't stick with it. they don't have the money for freedom. >> i'd like to make one point. there is one thing we could do that would get putin's attention. and the white house won't do it, that is to renounce the terrifically one sided star treaty that obama cut with putin, where we gave away serious weapons when needed and putin gave away rusty junk. that would get his attention. obama won't do it because that's his legacy, i found myself agreeing with everything donald rumsfeld said. >> missile defense system the poll and the czech republic, i go back there k.t. i turn to you, you had an excellent column. they're imhe tent, they cannot join with us. that'

( applause ) because right now the president of the united states is getting outplayed. look at what he wore saturday during a tense 90-minute phone call with vladimir putin. no tie. jeans with a jeans shirt. what is this casual doomsday? meanwhile on the other end you know putin shirtless stroking a tiger looking into his infinity mirror.

"prefer." them's fighting words. reminds me of reagan at t

obama care architect

and that president obama is committed not to use force and president obama, in the end, gives him more leverage than another president might? >> well, i don't think so. you know, i think if you roll the clock back and let's say the president had used force in syria and had done some other things or the defense budget wasn't being cut, i don't think that that would have changed the calculus that putin has under these circumstances. i think that, you know, there are no realistic military options for the west in ukraine and certainly in crimea any more than there were when putin invaded georgia in august of 2008. let's just be realistic about that. george bush was president of the united states in august of 2008. nobody ever accused him of an unwillingness to use force or of not being tough enough, but that did not deter putin from invading georgia. so i don't think it would have mattered with respect to president obama either. >> charlie: someone watching this conversation would say perhaps the following thing -- bob gates believes that in the short term vladimir putin will get what he w

. >> it president obama barack obama the deporter in chief or an ally in the latino struggle for immigration reform. how you answer that could have huge implications fo. this is the "inside story." >> hello, i'm ray suarez. in 2008 and again in 2012 president obama campaigned on a promise to reform america's current immigration system and laws. he won a solid majority of latino voters in his first race and three out of four in his run for second term. while supporting change and efforts of allies in house and senate the president has also run an administration that has deported a record number of people who have come to the united states to live and work illegally. the president was an attempting a straddle, tough enforcement to reassure reluctant republicans who accused the president of being soft on illegal immigration while trying to get a new law passed. in segments of the far flung community of activists working to change the laws patience appears to be in declining supply as the tensions and expulsions continue with no realistic chance for comprehensive reform. >> if we get immigration

and obama who left four to it do i in benghazi. he is not respected and not feared by putin and so when putin had an excuse to protect his interest and storm in crimea no one stopped him. if shivered it is only because he went shirrless onna a cold. >> and putin has his bot bot their next. and they might like the idea of ukranian freedom and not as much as the home and fouled by russian oil and gas. and had america turned on their own spic on thes of energy. we have's president who doesn't loc owl or gas or coal or nuclear energy. he oops for green energy which is great but no one knows how to make it profitable. and fear for america to stand down. we wore ours out in afghanistan and cutting back on what is left of it. we'll have the smallest military since preworld war ii. no nation trusts us or respectses or fores us. we are the shakiest gun in the west and president obama is pleaing the role of don knots or that of deputy barney fiffe. one bullet in the shirt pocket, but one bullet barney had one bullet. and putin doesn't have a

obama's team tried to draw a line in the sand on marshall. it was one of the rare occasions when a personnel fight ended up at obama's door. this was a, quote, test case, and a, quote, watershe would moment over hillary's power to pick her team, according to one of the vetters. marshall had a secret weapon in another cousin of valerie jarrett who had worked as special assistant to the president in the clinton white house. encouraging jarrett to prod the president. i'llly went to bat for -- hillary went to bat for marshall too. the white house team didn't appreciate the role and what went into it, she thought. it wasn't just some glorified advance staffer or donor with little experience in washington. she's got the experience from the social office, she's got a great touch and feel for helping organize people, she'll be fabulous. hillary had also gone the rounds with the president's aides. no, i'm telling you this is the best person, she had said. you will know that i'm right after you've worked with her for a month. and hillary knew she held

put missile defense shields which obama decided not to do. those missile defense shields in poland and czechoslovakia i can't aimed at iran but nevertheless close to russia. can you take actions like that i don't think it should stop not going to the g 8 with you. >> pivotal time. >> it is. sounds like what the administration is talking about is at most economic sanctions. that from everything i am reading and hearing will have very little impact on russia because they will continue to have a relationship with europe. europe, because of their economic problems, is in no position to cut off its trade. >> and allies, britain already saying we are a no go. >> and i imagine, it doesn't look like we are trying to sort of must ira lot of support. >>. no and we have just been sending signal after signal to putin that do whatever you want, because we are scaling back our military. we're trying to lower our footprint on the world stage. have at it. we are in a position we are in now as your previous guests have said because of his actions over his ten

is in the freeze. >> obama had a 90 minute phone call. let's look at the photograph of the president in jeans talking for an hour with vladimir putin. what went on in that phone call? . the president used language that was extraordinarily tough. what does that mean? was he yelling or cursing or saying tear down this wall and get out now? what went on in that call for 90 minutes? >> if you look at the white house read out which i encourage everybody to read and look through, obama said russia was violating international law. that's just about the morse serious thing in the world to barack obama and probably on a long list of priorities for putin and pretty close to the bottom. i think putin thinks he can make the reality what he wants and diplomatic terms. he can get what he wants from ukraine and confronts the west with that reality. the europeans will crumble and the united states will follow the europeans. that's the obama foreign policy at work. >> do you think that the west can do going have putin withdraw and talking about the declar

in the "crossfire" tonight obama supporter lawrence korb and obama critic danielle pletka who worked for the senate foreign relations committee. as we sit here right now cnn is reporting that obama is putting together a crippling package of sanctions against russia. isn't this exactly what republicans have been demanding and aren'ting going to criticize obama anyway? >> first of all, i don't think we should characterize any of this. these are serious matters. the people of ukraine have more thins on their mind than american petty politics. i'd love to see sanctions put in place by the treasury department but at the end of the day what we're going to really need is critical american leadership. unfortunately for the president, it's that word "credible" where he has a real deficit. he let putin bring him down the garden path on syria, a country that was supposed to have given up all its kemic am weapons by february but has only given up 11% of them. what accountability have we heard demanded by the president. whether it's ukraine, china, syria, where wherever we see him, he just doesn'

and obama understood that. obama wrote once it was an appeal for order. he noted he had seen the military basis in hawaii and he thought it was an essential part of reagan's appeal. he is quite right. what happened now, when i was a teenager there was a book called the "real majority" and it was the young, poor and black. and i grew up thinking that is the real majority to the united states. that is the electorate that elects president. that real majority today is the real minority. white middle income, middle class is a real minority in the politics as the demographic changes have taken place. so the old rules about politics and how you elect presidents and what you need to do to win elections and who is going to be part of the new majority has been upended now by obama's election and the shift in democracy in the country point to that. that old book "the old majority" had a saying tomography is destiny and i think it is true then and true today. >> host: what do you see now politically? >> guest: the big ones deal with race. whites will be a minority in
