obama did nothing.enator hagen did cocktails. >> we're back with dan and kim on the wall street george editorial board and matt also joins the panel. matt, for the first time since 2004 the national security hawk issue is back playing in the campaign. is that how you see it? >> absolutely. you saw it with scott brown in new hampshire who was the first republican to start running ads about president obama's policies in syria and closed the gap with the democratic incumbent. i think this growing anxiety and pictures of isis rolling through iraq, just bad news adds to the anxiety and problems for the democrats this cycle. >> kim, let me ask you about ebola, too. is that playing into this now that we have another ebola case this time in new york city? how is that playing into the security debate? >> what you see happening out there in race after race is a growing number of senators who came out initially and said they agreed with the president for instance on his policy of not instituting a travel ban. now

nick rayhall voted with barack obama for all of it. now obama says -- >> i'm not on the ballot at this point, but make no mistakes these policies are on the ballot. >> a vote for nick rayhall is a vote for the obama agenda. >> that's a west virginia congressman. do you think that's an effective ad? >> yes. i think it's very effective. because obama heretofore has always been higher. but that's been falling of late. now they're not too far apart. for him to talk about his policies this way, i think it has democratic strategists cringing. >> his approval nationally is at 40%. usually when it's around 45%, a party gets really nervous. in a lot of these reds, he's well below 40%. sometimes well below 35% in places like arkansas. so i think the democrats are extremely nervous. their base is depressed. they're back on their heels. and unless they can produce turnout, they simply have no chance. >> you know, this reminds me of what happened to republicans in 2006 with george w. bush. they just, they couldn't win. and they had no choice but to

, obama, obama. i understand, i think you do. but i think certainly the way that we pick topics here, it's generally anti-obama, anti-obama. it's bigger than that, obama's going to be gone in two years. >> i agree with you, and whoever the president he or she is, at that point, if the policy is the say. high taxization, redpribting of wealth. you'll get the same thing. >> we're not going to stop talking or analyzing ow things could be done in a better way. >> i got to go. >> where are you going? >> i'm not leaving. >> we ha >>. >>> up next, president obama's former press secretary, says americans need to get ready for a really long war against radical islam. how long? we'll have the answer when we come back. >>> in its latest beheading tape, isis has threatened to murder a former u.s. army ranger. >> the driving force in our family has always been to serve others. our son was living his life according to that same humanitarian call when he was taken captives. we implore his captives to use their powe

but in obama's case it is just relentless. it's not even interesting anymore. >> of the gentleman before we spoke the truth about what's going on in our nation regarding our religious leaders. this is the problem taxing income is stealing. but johnson the johnson amendment in the 5043 c. region and the irs tax code has our pastors to the point that they are almost. how do we break the bonds of the pastors may be able to begin like the black robe regiment of the revolutionary period can speak truth to power so folks will understand what we are facing today >> i'm familiar with that law so i would say read the law and the case history. they use it to intimidate people because they are not aware of the consequences of it. no one, no preacher has ever been prosecuted under the law although they may be tried in houston. yes ma'am. >> my name is barbara stockton and i just want to say i saw on television today houston was trying to get the ministers to give them their sermons and i know this is off of the point where you started i j

obama, here is what happened. we had a video released by someone and he is sort of a shady character who made an extremely offensive video aimed at muhammed and is long. these people by the way applied for the book of mormon and it is a double standard. normally letterman would look shocked and he said making fun of the profit mohammad? [laughter] and obama shakes his head in dismay. yes making fun of the profit muhammed that is the first question he took but then one week later blames it on the video on the david letterman show. o caper code number to. transparency and the rule of law will pave the touchstone of this presidency. this is what obama is said to the staff on the first full day in office and this has been reported more. [laughter] it was precisely a the violation of this promise that got others so upset with the notion of transparency and the rule of law. number one promise violated i do solemnly swear i will safely execute the oath of office to do the best of my ability to preserve them protect the c

obama care. we told him how this would affect our business. i wish senator pryor had listened to us when we told him how it would affect our business. i wish he would've voted against it. >> welcome to debate week. we are in the performance all at the university of central arkansas. at this hour the race for a seat in the united states senate. the contestants u.s. representative tom cotton, the republican nominee. mr. nathan lefrance, the green candidate. mr. pryor, the democratic nominee, and mr. swaney, the independent candidate. each candidate will have two minutes for an opening statement. each will have 1:50 to respond to a question, while rebutals are limited to one minute. at the conclusion, each will have an opportunity for a closing statement. opening and closing statements were determined prior to tonight by a drawing in which the candidates for their representatives participated. our timekeeper is elizabeth lewis. our first opening statement begins with mr. swaney. >> well, thank you f

president obama works well. it's all in the name, and why some military bats may feel like a political football this >>> the issues in 2014, how involved somehow the government be in your health care. >> reporter: do you like obama care? >>> is the government doing enough to take care of u.s. veterans. >> this is not an american issuish u, democratic or republican. >>> with midterms a month away, which party will control congress our social report. america votes 2014. >>> hi, i'm john seigenthaler, voters have a lot to think about between now and november 4th. every tuesday we'll look at what happens to most americans. >> the big issue is health care. david shuster looks at the bitter debate over the affordable care act. >> we are done. signed into law four years ago, the official name is the patient protection and affordable care a act. >> aka obama care. from the beginning there was controversy. >> i wanted public options. >> men democrats said the president's plans did not go far enough. obama care drew on id

obama's candidate for senate in kansas. greg orman is a vote for the obama agenda.oa tough stuff and a growing number of polls says, yes -- according to gallup 32 percent of voters are going to choose a candidate (?) at the voting booth. that sends a message of opposition to the obama agenda compared to only 20 percent who will vote for a candidate that supports the obama agenda. the margin is similar to 2010, when democrats lost control of the house. how much trouble is mr. obama in here? the obama is doing so poorly that even saturday live is taking shouts at him. >> mr. president, thank you for joining me. obama: it's great to be here, steve. >> is it? obama: not particular no. >> now, mr. president much has been made about the coalition you've assembled, but it sounds like america is bearing the brunt of this campaign. >> steve, that's how we roll, we roll slow and deliberately. almost like we have no idea where we're rolling to. lou: it's far too early for a celebration, but the time seems right for at least a modest hope for a lot of change. a slight g.o.p. gr

president obama well aware. the al qaeda leader amman al-zawahiri is still at large and some nation is harboring him, but some countries do not fear the united states. what did we do to bin laden all those years? nothing. and when they helped to bring bin laden down, president obama again did nothing. the doctor still languishes him in prison to this day. so mr. obama's resumÉ on terrorism is about as weak as you can can get, or am i wrong? reaction in new york city, i think we have laid out a pretty persuasive case that president obama is, what they call in denial about worldwide terror. am i wrong? >> yeah, i think you're wrong. i don't think the case you just made shows that he's in denial. i also don't think the two clips you showed really backed up what you said. because you're suggesting ma somehow people were ringing alarm bells over isis. that is not what the clips showed. it showed they posed a threat but didn't show them overthrowing a country. if you look at what the president said, james clapper said

we need to repeal obama care. youred to let you keep money in your pocket, rather than send it to washington dc and hope you get scraps back. >> i am not sure i have heard a definition from either one of you of what the middle classes. >> i said up to $200,000. there are different definitions, but that is my working definition. i talk about the american-made jobs package. first part of that is to repeal that inexcusable provision in the tax code were corporations get a tax deduction for shipping jobs overseas. i want to repeal that. it is the first section of the bill. congressman cotton has taken a pledge with these mega-donors to not do that. i disagree. be hangingpryor must around with billionaires of the things $200,000 is the middle class. a typical household makes $40,000 a year. that is down by oma's 5% over the last six years because of the obama economy. they raise taxes on businesses and individuals. that is what is driving jobs overseas. that is what is making it harder for arkansans to get good jobs on

obama care. what are you doing?m crushing democrat campaigns. >> but if that feels like republicans are just going through the motions there with that ad, well, they pretty much are because here's one of the secrets of the 2014 campaign, for all their bluster a year ago republicans really haven't been saying much about obama care for months now. bloomberg news reported this summer that republican anti-obama care ads were drying up in key battleground states. in fact, i think we actually have a slide show for this. dim the lights for dramatic effect. all right, here we go. first slide. please. there it is. the top five issue ads in north carolina as of six months ago, april 2014, the ones against obama care accounted for 54%, more than half of the ads airing in north carolina. now, let's look at the next slide. by july, the anti-obama care ads were down to 27%. they had fallen in half. and during that time, moving to the next slide, we got these numbers showing the percentage of people going without health insurance

the only obama we have seen in the state is michelle obama, not president obama. >> all right. what do you think is the most important issue? what do people in iowa really care about as the people who still aren't decided? what matters? >> it's interesting. a lot of talk about a variety of issues on the trail. you know, including social issues like abortion, but we had some polling out from the a.p. this week which really shows what people are really focused on is the economy and healthcare. those kind of pocketbook issues i think are really the top concerns for voters in this race. we are all watching it. all eyes on iowa on tuesday. catherine, thank you. >> thank you. >> and now to kentucky the blue grass state. it's also a nail biter. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell is fighting to keep his seat. >> there is nobody running in america this year, the liberals want to be more than the guy you are looking at. i'm proud of my enemies. >> it makes a big difference who wins this election. and alisyn lundergan grimes should win it and will with your help. >> it's the economy,

which is why president obama and the liberals work together so well. they have no choice but to embrace obama because if they don't, they're met with criticism by their academic professors and also they feel compelled to do it because celebrities make it cool to do that. but we can knock millenials for the shallow impulse to belong. but we need to devolt our energies to something better to articulate a vision they would like. the left is really, really good at selling bad ideas, but the right is lousy at selling good ideas ach s and the right needs able to learn from the left or they will keep losing and losing and losing. >> 11.5% if you're 20 to 24. >> this is argue free day. >> i want don't an argue free day, bob. >> he lives for strife. >> honestly, bob, fasten your seat belt. >> the mill less than yals are the largest generation, they have the most number of volunteer work hours they do according to the pugh research. they are the most digitally connected, so they have learned to communicate in a way. >> but if you think about during this campaign

and then, you know, you're trying to get into obama's head or panetta's understanding of obama's headn't have an answer. and if you look at it in terms of what's happening in the middle east, there are two things that come out. it's not just indecisiveness and how tentative obama is, but it's also how political he is. remember when gates, bob gates wrote his book, he talked about how the decision-making about the surge in afghanistan and then leaving in afghanistan was essentially dictated by the political types in the white house. and you get the same thing in the panetta book about iraq. he knew we had to leave troops in iraq. it is one of the worst decisions ever made by this president. and you called it a blunder, which of course it is. and the answer of how it came about is that it was the political types in the white house who wanted to go into 2012 with no troops left in iraq, so obama could say, i ended the war in iraq. of course, he didn't end the war in iraq, petraeus ended the war in iraq, but it was the political nature of that that is the biggist indictment of obama. when

mark begich, marky mark, so phony baloney full of his i stood up to barack obama, no he voted with obamaf the time. the gift that we were given yesterday, in gop establishment you better not blow it. you better take this gift of gold and capitalize on it. yesterday barack obama was out there saying hey, these dudes voting with me in the senate, the ones who are running, especially in a red state, got to get them back in there because they're going to keep voting with me. well, mark begich, mary landrieu, others of their ilk, that's who he's talking about. that's who we have to make sure we don't send back to the senate. >> governor, thank you. may see you on the campaign trail. appreciate it. >>> coming up next on "hannity" -- >> the inability to pass reasonable gun safety loss after the newtown massacre is for me something that i take personally as a failure. >> now, that should not be the only thing on eric holder's mind as he prepares to step down as america's top cop. what about fast and furious? does he have any regrets about that botched gun running operation? dana lash is here to

when you ask about isis, he talks about obama. the farm bill, he talks about obama. do you see a pattern? yes, he is clearly running against one man, but i am running for 3 million arkansans. i am sure side. when i listen to you, when i come home and travel the egg, that is why i go to work. congressman cotton loves to throw out phony statistics about how much i agree with president obama. you know me, you know i don't agree with him on a variety of things. take the keystone pipeline. take his carbon regulations. i disagree with his cuts on social security and i disagreed with him last year on gun control. so much so that when i voted no on his legislation, mayor bloomberg of new york city ran ads in arkansas criticizing me for standing up for your second amendment rights. i disagree plenty with obama and yes, i have been disappointed in talkbut i am going to about my philosophy. my philosophy is that if you look at the rankings of people who look at the senate and how we vote, not the rhetoric and the spin and look at how we vote, every year i have been in the senat

in defense of obama. the lefty former critic of president obam anobel prize winning economist paul krugman writes a defense in "rolling stone" about how good the obama presidency has been. obama faces trash talk, left, right and center and does not deserve it. he's emerged as one of the most consequential and successful presidents in american history. this is what a successful presidency looks like. when all is said and done, he says, president obama has achieved a lot. rolling stone bolsters it with this long litany of statistics. the obama hope and change index. six years of progress by the numbers. 55 figures that prove president obama has accomplished more than you may realize. more than you may realize because the only place anything like this is being published is rolling stone magazine. that's where this sort of thing has to come from because democrats have decided they'd rather be against this president because they believe that will be to their own gain. they'd rather be against this president to

obama doesn't have that kind of skill. obama really is rather standoffish. he is shy.i say he doesn't like people i may be doing him somewhat of a disk -- disservice. he may be so shy and so hesitant to interfere, so to speak, where bill clinton feels that his obligation to interfere. >> do you feel there's any chance democrats are not headed for a pretty good repudiation? >> no, the u.s. senate on november 5, will be in the hands of democrats. >> you are the most bullish on the democrats chance of any single person in the united states. if they end up retaking the house, you will be seen as nostradamus our election day. >> mark, willie brown went on to say there was a chance that democrats could even retake the house. he may be living in the bubble of the san francisco delusion. the most rocking thing with his comments about barack obama. we talked about that and a lot of other points. it really is expressing something we have heard from a lot of people. love barack obama but he is frustrated with his lack of political skill and efficacy as a governor. the great inter

obama's party benches him.bout how democratic senators in colorado speaking of invesco field, 80,000 people in the stadium, obama! north carolina, virginia, states pivotal to his success. and the winning coalition of the young minority, female voters, do not want him. they're saying stay out. we're going to lose if you come campaign for us here. >> that's because of the first poll you cited. people think this is a failed presidency. they have a sense of things falling apart. you look around and just the basic competence, just the delivery of health care and the v.a., just the secret service, the one agency people would idolize in the past. and then you look abroad of how america is no longer really respected. our enemies have contempt for us. isis will proudly and gloriously behead two americans and distribute it to the world on a video as a way to show how much it discounts, how much it disdains america. in that sense of america dimini diminished, america in decline, it weighs very heavily on the presidency. a

are you better off than you were when president obama took office? me know at facebook.com/brettbaier. send us something good, we may use it later with the panel. >>> one of the races i did not mention in that what if map scenario for control of the u.s. senate was new hampshire, obviously republicans in the granite state have hopes that former senator scott brown can pull off an upset there. jeanne shaheen -- brown missed all six hearings on border security when he was a senator from ma. brown has criticized shaheen for her positions on immigration. when asked for comments about his missed hearings, his aid said that shaheen missed several hearings regarding isis. >>> they were likely to disenfranchise black voters, this would have eliminated same day registrations of voters and volts cast outside of voters assigned districts will not apply in the midterm elections. we will talk all about the hot midterm races to watch and what's happening there on the map during our online show beginning at 7:00 eastern. log on at fox news.com/sronline a little bit

obama doesn't, i don't think, take it as seriously. african countries are or britain and france. i think bill what i said on the show is, look, this is -- liberalism believes now that the american government is essentially a charity that exists to make the rest of the world a better place that we have to atone for our past sins. we have been an aggressor and dominant power. we were arrogant and dismissive even derisive, remember the president's policy tour. whether we have to use the military or have to it allow people to come here and be treated from other countries or not stop travel from these countries, that's just what we have to deal with because, frankly. >> seeing. this i said that president obama is going to have to stop those flights and i expect that he will. particularly if it there is another case or two that pop up and now they are looking at something in utah and whatever. >> bill, he should never have been here though. this man should never have been allowed to fly to the united states. >> you and i are are forward thin

obama care. chris brewery reports from arkansas, in our coverage much "america votes 2014." >>> and good evening, thanks for joining us. i'm when. we begin the hour with an investigation into an all-american grain of intellectual property. the stuff movies are made of. international spies, secrets and of all things, seeds. all this played out in iowa's field of agricultural dreams. "america tonight"s michael oku investigates what chinese spies were doing in the corn rows, and brings us a look at the man that they say was the ring leader of this heist. . >> when chinese president xi jinping, then the vice president, arrived in iowa, the federal bureau of investigation was tailing another man, tracking his movements from demoyne to the iowa capital. where the governor held a state dipper for xi jinping. whom he toasted his american host, the fbi says the man they were watching was there, seated at table 44 and using an alias. his real name is mo hi lun and he is facing federal charges, along with m

the media likes to talk about president obama and president obama likes to talk about obama and the setup you said is the economy and i still think it is about the policy and foreign policy. that stuff is setting the background radiation for everything of how the election will play out and i don't know the media is doing the democrats or obama any favors by making this all about obama because a lot of people are tireed with obama. >> democrats are blaming the president in advance for the loss of the senate and he is being called president pariah. >> reality is, in every midterm, it is the president's favourability and approval ratings that have the biggest impact, the one measure you can count on that tells you which party wins or loses and his numbers are low and the rest of the election, the rest of the candidates is how far and i get away great him or how do we tie him to them. >> it is easy for the media to point out studies which show how often anyone voted with or against the president. that is a very easy line for the president campaigns to use against whatever the percent is again

i voted for president obama twice.you might be surprised to hear that i'm also voting for mitch mcconnell, and i think you should too. i'm dr. noel hunter from moorehead, kentucky. as an african american, i know from american experience that mitch fights for our community and cares about us. in 2011, mike's husband kidnapped our daughter and took her to a dangerous part of africa. mitch knocked down barriers for our family and with his help, my baby came home safely. >> ron, what do you make of this? this is, to me, when you cut somebody, when you just say, well, i'm not saying who i voted for, it may offend people who are emotionally connected to this particular president. that's what i think. your thoughts? >> well, her answer was a very weak one. we can agree with her on principle, by the way, that we have the right to privacy at the ballot box. i'll give her that much, but really, i think we all know, the answer was, of course i voted for president obama. he's the standard bearer of my party. don't be ridiculous, o

that is barack obama's way. my ways to trust local communities. >> common core is an important issue. i hear from teachers and parents about this. it started with the governors. it has largely been a state issue. it has passed the arkansas state legislature. i don't support a federal curriculum. i am a big supporter of public education. i went from first grade to law school in public schools and i'm proud of that. i think we need a first-rate education system in the country. children today in jonesboro and russelville, they are competing with children in china, and mexico. we need to have that superior education to train our workforce, to get people ready to compete in the global economy. >> the fact of the matter is mark pryor does support a federal curriculum. it is called the common core as implemented by the department of federal education. barack obama and posted on the state. you do not get the money if you do not use common core. mark pryor went along with it and we have teachers who are frustrated that t

president obama is seething, he's angry, frustrated over ebola. >> no drama obama is so mad. no. it gets out there because the white house realized too late they had to show the president was mad about this. mad as hell so mad what he told his staff was guys this is not tight. i've never heard something so angry in my entire life. >> unmaimed white house aides gave you that story would you have gone on the air? >> i would use that information how they are pushing back on the idea that he's been adrift and not paid attention and that's important. but i mock it a little because i just think it's sort of the media buying a story line that all of a sudden the president is mad as hell and won't take it any more. what took him so long. it was after days and days coverage of this when they finally said we have to change course. they told us for days in the briefing that the idea of an ebola czar is silly and now on friday here's an ebola czar. >> as the media narrative moved calling for cdc's tom frieden to being fired to calling for an ebola czar. >> yeah. look i think there are two th

when young people, 18 to 29 say at 57%, we don't want obama, we don't want obama -- >> get your numbers straight. >> bob -- >> will you take that into account, likely voters. likely voters. >> i'm only talking about the gop ones, 57%. >> likely voters. >> bob, if it were the opposite, you would be shouting it from the skies. young people disapprove of obama care, when have you ever heard that? >> do yourself a favor, folks, go to the harvard study online. >> i would like to give you a little lecture on voter turnout. democrats is usually pretty good. republicans, they have tried this time around, we'll see how that works out. but there's something that the republicans have done differently this year, i wonder if you can give us a view of voter turnout. >> they have been way behind the democrats in doing this, but they finally are recognizing that that part of the campaign process is an important part. the democrats have always put a bigger percentage of hispanic votes. the republicans are ready to peel some of that and put it into turn out the vote. and they should. and also to suppress

obama, carter, roosevelt. >> obama, carter, roosevelt, wilson. >> okay.oing to look at the notes here. teddy roosevelt, woodrow wilson, jimmy carter and barack obama. >> wow. >> there you go. what a scholar. >> all democrats. >> very, very good. >> not a republican. >> roosevelt. >> roosevelt. >> and obama didn't deserve it. >> okay. >> don't say that. >> we'll be back in just a couple minutes. kid: hey dad, who was that man? dad: he's our broker. he helps looks after all our money. kid: do you pay him? dad: of course. kid: how much? dad: i don't know exactly. kid: what if you're not happy? does he have to pay you back? dad: nope. kid: why not? dad: it doesn't work that way. kid: why not? vo: are you asking enough questions about the way your wealth is managed? wealth management at charles schwab means keeping seven billion ctransactions flowing.g, and when weather hits, it's data mayhem. but airlines running hp end-to-end solutions are always calm during a storm. so if your business deals with the unexpected, hp big data and cloud solutions make sure you

we need to repeal obama care. youred to let you keep money in your pocket, rather than send it to washington dc and hope you get scraps back. >> i am not sure i have heard a definition from either one of you of what the middle classes. >> i said up to $200,000. there are different definitions, but that is my working definition. i talk about the american-made jobs package. first part of that is to repeal that inexcusable provision in the tax code were corporations get a tax deduction for shipping jobs overseas. i want to repeal that. it is the first section of the bill. congressman cotton has taken a pledge with these mega-donors to not do that. i disagree. be hangingpryor must around with billionaires of the things $200,000 is the middle class. a typical household makes $40,000 a year. that is down by oma's 5% over the last six years because of the obama economy. they raise taxes on businesses and individuals. that is what is driving jobs overseas. that is what is making it harder for arkansans to get good jobs on

candidate refusing to say whether or not she voted for president obama. good night from washington, d.c. >>> the o'reilly factor is on. tonight. >> it's a very clear-cut coverup. even more so than benghazi. >> there's no indication that any member of the white house advance team engaged in any improper conduct or behavior. >> was the obama administration lying? we'll tell you. >> he's a poor blackman, coming from a deep accent. i did believe he deserved the care that everybody else got. >> he claims he got shoddy treatment because he was black. geraldo rivera will be here to analyze. >> there's a movement in white supremacy groups. >> and the outrageous allegation that christians are just as bad as radical muslims when it comes to terror. we'll tell you about it tonight. the caution. you're about to enter the no-spin zone. the factor begins right now. >>> hi, i'm in for bill o'rei y o'reilly. a stunning report by the washington post alleges a white house aide was involved in the secret services scandal in columbia. the administration found out and covered

mark prior note and loyally supported the obama agenda.oading with barack obama 93% of the time, casting a decisive vote for obamacare, avoiding -- voting every single penny of new deficit spending. barack obama doesn't offer a lot to rural america, a state like arkansas. i agree. i don't understand why he would vote for him 93% of the time. barack obama said his policies are on the ballot, every single one of them. i agree with that too. in arkansas those policies are called mark prior. as you listen i hope you agree there's a better way. let's get our economy moving. let's repeal obamakaren start over with health care reform, balance the budget, rebuild our military and stop terrorists before they attacked us here again. if you are ready for change i am ready to serve. >> moderator: our first question goes to mark pryor. >> lot of our conscience are turned off by negative attack ads in this campaign especially those from outside groups. a lot of what these briefs are having. citizens united ruling was key. what do you think? pryor: i'm t

before obama ever came around, coal was doing good.d it. >> though many we spoke to acknowledged there were other factors that contributed to the collapse of coal, the feelings of bitterness are palpable. >> oh. people around here, if you mention obama, it's tough. it is -- a lot of people goes to cussing, which i try to stay away from that. but it's all people gets furious. >> i wish he'd step off the face of the earth. wouldn't hurt my feelings none. >> indeed, many in the community feel under siege from this administration. it was president barack obama, they say, whose green policies led to the epa restrictions on coal-fired power plant emissions that shut down the mines. >> if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant they can. it's just that it will bankrupt them. >> he has no idea, no idea what he's done to this little part of the country. whether he cares or not, i don't know. he's killed us. he's killed this part right here. and i'm telling you, it's gone. it's gone. >> we talked to one of the few miners still working in ha

, and obama care. prior will avoid saying obama care, but is starting to cautiously be willing to talk about some of the laws. >> reporter: in a new tv add prior features his father david, a respected governor and senator. he talks about his battle with cancer. >> no one should fight an insurance company while fighting for your life. that's why i helped pass a law to prevent insurance companies from cancelling your policy if you get sick. >> absent is mention of the obama care. supporters held it as an act of courtroom, with prior taking ownership for his vote for obama care. others saw it as a damage. luke, 33, is an engineer for a telecommunications company in little rock. a republican, he plans to vote for cotton. when you see senator prior trying to explain his support in the commercials, what is your thought about that? >> it's the 800 pound guerilla in the room that you are not addressing. >> he shares the conflicted feelings about obama care, supporting some provisions, such as expanding health

and barack obama's policies. his favorability ratings are somewhere around 29%. i mean, he is very much disliked. people don't like him personally. people don't like his policies. and mcconnell has been trying to convince voters that grimes if elected will simply do the president's bidding, will vote r the agenda and policies, which senator mcconnell argues are bad for kentucky. grimes made news because this was about the third time she's been asked this question. and she was asked the question whether or not she would vote for mcconnell and she wouldn't -- i'm sorry -- whether she would vote for obama and she would not answer the question. she said i was a hillary clinton delegate in 2008. she said, i believe in the sanctity of the ballot box. but was asked four times specifically whether she voted for president obama and she wouldn't say, which she's been, gosh, she's been getting hammered ever since then from the right, from the left, from the middle. i mean, daily cause, the liberal website, has hammered her

and it's not just barack obama's fault.re living in a cowardly world where villains know they can commit atrocities, violate international law and general did i do whatever they want without lawful nations confronting them. the fact that turkey is allowing isis to murder civilians on their border says it all. the turks should be ashamed. add to that, the lack of american leadership. that is where president obama takes a big hit. it is up to him to rally the world against evil. we are the super power. we are the nation that stands for freedom and justice. but from the very beginning, president obama did not want that responsibility. he wanted america to be one of many nations. he wanted to see consensus about how to deal with difficult problems. while the be a vocation of leadership is not working. our world is becoming more chaotic by the day. for my money, leon panetta is doing theright and. >>> putting msnbc aside, the other national liberal media, kind of silent on the panetta interview. and i think that they don't know

obama killed it. americans are worried about what the future hold. >> even in louisiana's bustling oil patch. >> one of the best jobs i have had. workers fear that washington is aiming to shut them down. >> you take away the oil industry it's going to have people in the horse and buggy days. >> concern about middle class jobs it's the issue that may decide this november's election. >> i'm not on the ballot this fall. right now, fox news reporting, "american payd payday: the big squeeze." >>> the election is almost upon us. and with the house of representatives firmly in republican hands and the white house of course off the table, everyone's focus is on this side of the u.s. capitol, the u.s. senate. the republican's magic number is a gain of six seats. anything less and democrats remain in control. so both sides are fighting it out in state after state realizing the national implications of those local results. and if there's one issue that's got everyone's attention, it's the economy. president obam

a record day for president obama. the "gallup" daily tracking poll measuring the president's disapproval rating at 56%. tying his all-time high. his approval rating has fallen to one point from record low. the president considered so toxic on the campaign trail that democratic candidates are calling on the first lady for help in stump speeches. mrs. obama campaigning for democratic candidates in michigan and iowa today and only one candidate, the unpopular connecticut governor dan malloy has called upon the president for help. the president relegated to democratic national committee fund-raisers behind closed doors with little or no media access. just this week, president obama attending six fund-raisers, 16 since the beginning of september. now many believe mr. obama to be the all-time leader in presidential fund-raisers, but that's not the case. he's in second place. president clinton, the record holder, attending 638 fund-raisers in his two terms in office. the president, president obama, is in a comfortable second

not just president obama's mess. and -- >> which country, ours or -- >> yeah, yeah, everywhere, the whole world. you know, this -- obama's clearly gone through a wake-up call. he's got come up with something to do here that's going to work. he said it's going to take years. he said he's going to destroy people. a mighty ambitious goal. i think the big question is, can he -- you know, the war power is a shared power between it is executive and the congress and can the president and the congress get together and say, okay, this is how we're going to do it, this is going to be the strategy? if that can't be done, we're in for a calamity. >> then there is the battle in syria, which is centered around the town of kobani on the border between syria and turkey. there have been a number of air strikes by the u.s. but the turkish army refuses to intervene and even our allies among syrian rebels are turning against our refusal to go against the assad regime. carly, we're seeing in syria what happens when you don't have any gro

it is not just obama care. when we start in health care reform, we can take a program like medicare and let the states make decisions for all their populations. mark pryor said he wants fixes on obama care but he never proposed any. and mark pryor always puts barack obama first, not arkansas. >> mr. swaney. >> the affordable care act is better than nothing. i have friends of mine, family members, that have been unable to visit a doctor for serious illness for years who have now been able to go to the doctor. so i don't want to say that i think the affordable care act is a bad thing. it's a step, but only a step in the right direction. for those who have very low incomes, it is affordable and possible then for the first time to see a doctor. this is a good thing. but there are many people that have a moderate income and are far from wealthy and can't afford the premiums for the affordable care act. not only that, the affordable care act does nothing about the cost of medicine. without some price discipline, you
