the obama side.we have a first lady in michelle obama who is best friends with valerie jarrett and who is a behind the scenes adviser to her husband in a way that's quite different because in many respects, michelle behaves toward her husband as though she knows better. he has said in public that she's the boss. he often sounds like a henpecked guy, i must say. i know that's very radical to say that, but i think there's a lot of truth to that. these women, both michelle and valerie, have enormous influence over his policy decisions. another concrete example, when bill daley was the chief of staff of the obama white house, he said after he resigned that he and obama would come to an agreement and then valerie jarrett would go upstairs to the residence that night, spend the evening up there talking to barack and michelle and the next morning, the president would come down and contravene and throw out the agreement that daley had. and daley resigned because he couldn't function with that kind of white h

it's with the obama administration.he question then becomes, is the president even paying attention? surely he keeps kathleen sebelius and shinseki in their positions far too long. and the american people have not been given clear answers to the benghazi and the irs scandal. there's an erosion of confidence in the federal government. the president and congress are getting low markets from folks. the american people believe competecom competency of the federal government is sinking. >> i don't think obama is stepping up in these various crises coming up. the obamacare website, inexcusable. the fact they had information about this given to their transition team in 2008 and mrs. obama and mrs. biden made veterans their sort of signature issue. it seems like something that would have gotten the attention of the president who also, i think, has said, or talked the talk, on how important veterans are to him. >> he's helped me help the veterans. i think he's genuinely interested. is it your opinion the president is not paying

you know, obama would be forced to sign their bill. this was how they were going to undo all of the damage that romney had done on the issue of immigration in the primaries. only problem? deporter in chief didn't want to play along. instead, president obama did something. he headed them off. he used a preemptive measure. he took executive action. in june of 2012, president obama announced his own miniature dream act. this affected more than 800,000 people. instead of deporting those dreamers the president directed his administration to offer them a legal means to stay in this country. republicans had blocked legislative attempts to do that so president obama used his executive authority to defer hundreds of thousands of deportations. essentially on his say so. people lined up for applications throughout the u.s. this was a big deal. this was in the middle of the presidential campaign. and with that executive action by president obama, mitt romney's grand strategy for winning back some of the latino vote he had lost, that grand strategy

well president obama has been willing to fall into the control under the control pretty much of the neo conservatives and some of their liberal interventionists friends he has instead of asserting more of a real break from the george w. bush policies he has he has adopted them he has avoided perhaps some of the more extreme problems but in many ways he has not challenge them in any fundamental way so why is that why well it's a good question and he he i think he basically is trying to avoid the kind of hard political battle that would be required to if he were to challenge this what's become a very powerful force in washington the neoconservatives have been building strength in d.c. since the one nine hundred eighty s. they've they not only have been important players in the reagan and bush administrations but they've also had keep positions in powerful think tanks they control some of the major op ed pages of american newspapers like the washington post and they've they've established themselves as a force to be reckoned with that should really prevent a president from from challenging

obama's argument was the opposite.san warfare that had come to define politics, he said, was the product of the people who knew no politics other than partisan warfare. change would come only through creating a new politics. recall the famous yes, we can, speech on the night obama lost the new hampshire democratic primary. >> our new american ma majority can end the outrage of unaffordable, unavailable health care in our time. we can bring -- we can bring doctors and patients, workers and businesses, democrats and republicans together, and we can tell the drug and insurance industry that while they get a seat at the table, they don't get to buy every chair. not this time, not now. >> the two sides of obama's promise are both right there. obama would do what so many past presidents had failed to do. he would pass health reform, finally, and he would do it by ending the partisan divisions and the power of the moneyed interests that had broken american politics. about that, he was half right. obama changed more than reall

and barack obama called that a synonym for horse manure. hillary clinton came out much more in support of israel. she is staking her claim basically for the democratic interventionists neo conservative democrat in the upcoming race. i think strategically, she is making a bad mistake because in the democratic party, the come home america no more wars focus on our own country, that thought, that sentiment, is really almost dominant inside the democratic party and she is inviting opposition in the primaries. >> i think this is the same fault line that emerges between hillary clinton and barack obama in the 08 primaries. she has always been more of an interventionist than he has been. and of course, you know, don't do stupid stuff, david axlerod, obama's key adviser tweeted don't do stupid stuff as in invading iraq. by the way, hillary clinton supported that. so there is some tension i think between the two camps, but she has to separate herself from the president. i think he understands that. but it is a little early for a general election cam

brennan was a very early convert to the obama campaign.e was a close adviser during the 2008 campaign on intelligence matters. and he ran the -- well, i guess, he was a co-chair of the transition team for intelligence matters in 2008. and because of that work, he was considered to be possibly nominated for cia director. when he withdrew from that potential position, mr. obama installed him as his top counterterrorism adviser and he and the president grew very, very close. he is a very trusted adviser of the president. continues to be. and that's not something that the president's probably going to walk away from very quickly. >> so the context for all of this is there is this torture report that all of washington's been talking about that's apparently going to be released next week. a torture report the senate has been working on, very exhaustive, what exactly the cia was doing, they call it enhanced interrogation. president obama himself today at his press conference called this torture. that made headlines. after he made that statement,

but i may barack obama fan also. it isn't as though i think thinu what is right and barack obama is wrong. president obama is doing a great job i think, and i just think hillary has a different perspective on our engagement in the activities of other countries, and so, good for hillary, and if she runs i vote for her. my concern about hillary running is her health. i just hope she can withstand the constant obstructionist republicans, and it's going to be very interesting to me if hillary runs whether the republican party and the tea party will continue with their obstructionist attitude towards hillary as they have with president obama. >> host: okay. that was built in mobile, alabama, democratic party. from jeffrey goldberg's interview with hillary clinton indialantic, published on sunday, and he quotes her saying this -- >> host: philip, kirkwood overcome independent color. go ahead. >> caller: yes, good morning to you. >> host: good morning. >> caller: the reason i'm calling is hillary clinton has always known th

in 2008 when i did focus groups with obama and john mccain all throw sessions had obama winning and foxll devoted six, seven, eight minutes to those focus groups. they have nothing to fear. i appreciate that. >> half a point before break. how much of the dramatic difficult klein in trust in news organization do you think is self-inflicted? >> we expected most. we have too high expectations. we are only human. there are one or on like you who hold the media accountable. but there is not enough accountability or willingness to admit when you get it wrong. in the end there is not enough focus on covering the entire story, not just one set or another. i give it significant responsibility. in the end, it is our fault, too. >> admitting when you get it wrong and we all make important points. in a moment, why they are blowing out predictions on campaigns. >> john oliver accuses the media of practicing deception.

for the fact that people think that obama is a muslim and not fitting it was. i think the president in his the way he has dealt with persecuted christians. the absence thereof. only gives credence to those that say that i mean i think it's amazing that if i were the president and i were trying to combat this these these these folks that are saying that i'm muslim or sympathetic to muslims i would make sure that i was at least being balanced and fair if not going overboard to protect christians and defend christianity but he's absent unbelievable it should be obvious to this point that the only reason anybody thinks obama is a muslim is because the bigoted racists apparently tony perkins didn't get the message has to be busy spreading conspiracy theories of his own to care and the very very ugly sexist lawmakers they are senator kirsten gillibrand has some a shocking stories to tell in her new memoir about some of her congressional colleagues charolais some of her fellow lawmakers all male of course and frequently teased and harassed her about her weight they sa
