obama should have given yesterday. now it is -- >> bill: the reason i'm asking you the question is because clinton was fairly successful in managing the economy. he did sign,s -- as you know the welfare reform act which i i don't think president obama would have signed it? >> he came out against it in 1996. president obama did sign an agreement. >> bill: i see barack obama much further to the left than bill clinton was. why doesn't obama learn from clinton who did manage the economy effectively? >> i think they are pretty much in synch. one of the things that may have happened is the center in the republican party has moved to the right. even to the right of where newt gingrich was in 1997. >> bill: that doesn't have anything to do with obama. look, you know these guys, to me, just based on public policy and what happened, it looks like obama is is way to the left. now, we're going to have more. i'm going to hold over george because i want to analyze the tom brokaw sound bite. this is amazing. he said some very provocative things, brokaw does about gun control, comparing to civil rights. later, colin powell once again echoing president obama's opinion this

s. the republicans who are still hell bent on crashing the economy and blaming a democratic president for it won't let president obama do the same thing to fix this current problem so why is that joining me now is david silly conservative commentator pro-business advocate david seeley welcome back great to see you thanks for having me tom it's always a pleasure so why you know just just a straightforward question reagan increased employment public public sector workers in order to fill in the gaps one of the things that we do know about economics is that while cutting taxes will stimulate the economy while increasing spending will stimulate the economy neither one of them is as effective as hiring people whether it's private sector public sector it pretty much doesn't matter you get put put workers but money in their pockets they go out and spend it the economy it's the most effective stimulus of all why. why is it that the republicans have cut almost a million jobs out over the last four years and why are they continuing to say we need to cut even more million to tom this really speaks to this administration's failu

obama first took office, closing today just a few hundred points off its all-time high. the s&p closed above 1500 for the first time ever. now the markets are not the best measure of the economy, we know that. but the right wing has whined as loud as possible when the markets were lower, blaming it all on president obama's policies. you don't hear them anymore, because they are political hacks and liars. president obama worst socialist ever. >>> let me tell you in advance, i plan to talk about the big picture tonight, and i plan to say some things that may challenge your assumptions. >> governor bobby jindal promises a burn burner. >> no, the republican party does not need to change our principles. >> but must have forgotten the matches. karen finney and gene robinson on the gop's rebrand failure. >>> republican senator saxby chambliss calls it quits. we'll give him a special goodbye. >>> wall street got the bailout. homeowners and taxpayers got shafted. mike papantonio of the national trial lawyers association tells us how the department of justice has failed on assignment. t whenp in the middle of the night it can be frustrating. it's hard to turn off and go back to sleep.
