is obama care. so on that very relevant issue -- romney care in massachusetts they passed a law that included individual mandates as well as subsidies for people to get insurance, and other -- >> what's the problem? individual mandate? >> individual mandate. and today the fact that it was a prototype for obama's national bill. and i think romney says that state by state, and this happened -- customized for massachusetts. >> it's way too huge. but the problem is you had four years ago john mccain in the same position that romney walks with all these things on immigration, on taxes, campaign finance reform. no republican could nominate him because he was too much of a rino, and he got it. >> republican in name only. >> way too cute, you've got governor perry supporting a very progressive and caressed position on immigration, where he paid -- allows the children of illegals to pay in state tuition. so he's got some liabilities in the private area. but romney is nomination, he could win. and at some poi

>> i'm sure they will get back at aiming at obama eventually. i would actually dis agragree w both of you on this. the fight between hillary clinton and barack obama was tough. they didn't throw insults at one another the way you're seeing this. it's easy to say perry care, obama care, romney care. the debates have been intense. right about this time in the cycle in 2007 you had the july youtube debate. that's when things elevated. barack obama was asked if he'd sit todown and negotiate with leaders in iran. hillary clinton stepped that up. there was a question of whether they could come together. she's the secretary of state now. the democrats should not get excited about this. one of the other things that happened in 2008 was the whole nation was captivated by that democratic primary fight, particularly because it lasted so long but also because it was so interesting in dynamic and had a lot of fireworks. the more the nation is engaged in getting to know these republican candidates, that's not necessarily that great for barack obama when he's

president obama was a student at harvard. first lady michelle obama was your research assistant? >> guest: yes, she was. >> host: you were invited to the wedding, unfortunately you didn't make it. talk about the special relationship and wrestling with this kind of book. >> guest: well, first of all i wouldn't say that i have a real special -- i knew of barack obama when he was a student. the reason i knew of him as a student and saw him and, you know, i think we talked a couple times when he was a student. the reason why i knew of him is because he was a quite outstanding student. he was president of harvard law review, the first black president of the harvard law review. you know, several of my colleagues talked about this remarkable student they had, barack obama. and, you know, that is a very unusual thing. there are a lot of smart students at harvard law school. very smart, very outstanding. he really did stand apart. so i knew of him in that way. the first lady, michelle obama, i knew it. she went to princeton, i went to princeton. so when she came to harvard law school, we

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 american 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

if he wins, what does this mean for obama? >> it is the equivalent of scott brown's victory in 2009. in early 2010 in massachusetts. that sent a message to the democrats that any republican can beat any democrat in any state. if a republican could win in massachusetts. this sends the same message for the house. but a more specific thing. it is going to cause house democrats to jump ship on obama. one out of every five democratic congressman in the house was elected in the special election where there is no primary they waltz in, 2/3 of the districts are not competitive. they don't worry about republicans. they hardly know there is a republican party. one of those districts was chuck schumer's and anthony weiner. now if a republican wins it is going to terrify those safe democrats. they worry about prime pearce but they don't sweat november. now they have to start sweating it. >> >> sean: to what extent is this a referendum on the president? obama has a 31% approval rating in the district. 56% disapproval in this heavily democr

obama, many believe.ish voter in the turner district, traditionally democratic overwhelmingly disapprove of fellow democrat brohm. they particularly are offended by what they see as bad policies and antiisrael rhetoric and get this. former new york city mayor ed koch, a die -- a dyed in the wool democrat crossed party lines and supported republican turner. >> president obama is a nice guy and i helped elect him and all those things. he threw us under the bus. >>> koch sees the win as proof positive of president obama's mishandling of the united states -- israel relationship. >> question is ed koch right? has president obama thrown israel under the bus? >> pat buchanan and no he hasn't. he has been critical of netanyahu. netanyahu does not like obama and he moves very close to the republicans. but in this district, not only ed koch an orthodox jewish community there and new york daily post and news endorsed turner. this is really in a way an antiobama vote, i think. really sending him a message out there a

what did barack obama say? barack obama said well, representative willson disagrees with me, he ought not have shouted out, but he has apologized. let's move on. in other words, barack obama did not want to get mired in a racial discussion. he wanted to distance himself from the racial discussion, and he did. that's the obama way of dealing with race. >> host: in the few minutes we have left i could talk to you forever. i want to move on into shirley shot quickly. that was not handled well at all. >> guest: know that was not handled well and of course v. obama administration said that they did not handle this well as you know again as you will recall this was a black -- >> host: high ranking u.s. official in georgia -- >> guest: who was accused of essentially racially discriminating against a farmer who sought her aid. she was speaking to the naacp and people sort of took out certain snippets of what she said to make it seem as though she was discriminating against a white farmer who needed her aid. as it turne

i think the obama campaign from the time it was the campaign, certainly the obama presidency has been aware of the potential pitfalls and him being perceived as someone who was catering to minority interests or black interests and i think they have tried very hard, perhaps too hard to avoid the mere perception of that. you recall the highly publicized professor case from harvard being arrested and stepped out of his own home in cambridge. and obama apparently decided this was a teachable moment and when asked the question about the behavior of the police who arrested him, the policeman acted stupidly. there was a firestorm reaction to that. it went down along racial lines with overwhelming majority of whites who responded to bolster his disapproving of the president's responds. the overwhelming majority of african-americans approving of his response. the white house learned a lesson from that. they learned that if in any way obama was remotely considered to indicate that he was more sympathetic to blacks than whites it would be used against him. so they have tried very hard to avoid t

it's the same thing obama did. he required individuals to buy health insurance basically on government fiat. >> yeah, what i'm saying is we are interested in electability, but we don't necessarily believe that mitt romney is the electable one. because, again, we believe that good policy is good politics, and actually taking a stand on some of these big economic issues, even when it's difficult, even when it's uncomfortable, this is something that's going to resonate with independent voters that don't vote on a partisan basis. they vote based on whether or not they think you're an authentic guy that believes something and will do something. >> that's what i think, by the way. let's go to rick perry right now. he took a shot at mitt romney last night. let's listen to that shot. maybe it's along the lines you're talking here. >> we don't need to nominate obama-light we don't need to nominate someone who's going to blur the lines between president obama and our nominee. when you take a look at what mitt did from the st

michele robinson obama at his side. in various ways he spoke to black people and allied what anxiety some blacks had. at the same time, he spoke to whites in a very particular way. he convinced them that he was on non-angry black man. he harbored no racial resentments. he was not seeking any saw -- sort reparations or anything like that. he emphasized various points that he had been raised by a white mother, that he knew white people very intimately. so he went to various constituencies and adelaide of various racial anxieties and he did that very successfully. successfully enough to capture the white house. tavis: you said a lot there and there are two things i want to go back and get. one, when you suggested earlier it was not until and i am paraphrasing, you suggested earlier it was not until he had shown that he could run the race. there was a chance he could get the nomination. it was not until then that black folks started to use your term. blacks did not start to break for barack obama, you said this. the truth i

. >> he's like palin. >> spurning obama for palin. for one thing, it's what you mentioned, the pluralistic idea that america is not a christian nation. but also keep in mind, a very important issue for a lot of folks in the jewish community, especially women -- >> let me tell you what i think about that. i think that, to me, is another one of those dog whistles that says if the christian right can set abortion policy, it's running the show. if i was a jewish voter, i would say, more evidence of this attempt to dominate, to seize dominion over this government and this country. john heilemann, don't you think that's part of the signal? >> chris, i think it's very simple. i think that the jewish vote, the broad jewish vote, put aside the donor class, the broad jewish vote is overwhelmingly liberal and overwhelmingly secular. and rick perry or sarah palin will scare a lot of that vote right back into barack obama's arms. the greater concern is that someone like mitt romney, who could do well with the jewish donor base, that mitt romney ge

barak obama understands his economic plan has not worked.e he knows most americans are unhappy with the state of the union and are open to voting him out. so the president must do two things: he must retain his base and get them jazzed once again to vote for him. and he must demonize his opposition. so mr. obama's directly appealing to that base comprised of minority voters, union workers, and devoted liberals. the president is spending a lot of time courting them. >> so i don't know about you cbc, but the future rewards, those who press on with patience and official determination, i'm going to press on for jobs. i'm going to press on for equality. i'm going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now! i promise you i would work tirelessly to fix our broken immigration system and make the dream act a reality. we're fighting for good jobs with good wages. our economy is stronger when we've got broad base growth and broad based prosperity. that's what unions have always been about, shared prosperity. >> bill: if

i have never seen obama sad. i have never seen obama be anything but obama. if he can't be one thing, he can't be another. >> that is a good point. remember many years ago on "red eye" they did that thing about mccain being captain kirk? he is spoke. he has no emotion. you can't tell if he is depressed or not. >> concocted story. >> i miss those stories. >> he was more of a trible, though, right? >> you know what would cheer him up? think about the boat load of money he will make. he is going to be the first billionaire president. >> think about the books. we can argue about whether or not he has written, and think about all of that that lies ahead. and all of those years of watching his wife go to j crew. >> all of the work that bill will have ahead of him. >> the great thing about obama is he is 50. he could play himself in the movies about him. isn't that awesome? >> it would be an excuse to buy some just for men. it is happening. >> from feeling stale to tattle tails. can they beat the right with a cry baby site? the team is confronting what they call lie

>> no, obama can turn on a dime.st be an election year because it's astonishing frankly that he can give that speech and as a person who preferred his previous positions on things, it's such pandering and blatant for him to turn and now just completely-- >> and cal, new york magazine came out this week with this cover, the first jewish president. why did they do that? >> well, look, we're still dealing with the aftermath of that anthony weiner lost seat in new york, and the polls showing a lessening of the jewish support for the president and i think that was behind a lot of the speech. let me tell you i think one of the one of the best journalists on this, besides myself, one of the points she made with the media have treated israeli and palestinian cause as moral e-- morally equivalent and their histories as morally equivalent as well. and we take the sayings of abbas, mahmoud abbas, the president of the palestinian authority at face value about their supposed rights and the rest and the media write it up as if it'

where is barack obama? den you think if he had moral courage he would stand up to his own party. >> again, to deck you, as i always do. this is -- to correct you as i calls do. this is our president -- >> sean: your president barack obama, where is he? >> problem is the right continues to take words from speeches >> sean: words, son of a bitch. excuse me, we can go straight to health, son of a bitch, racist, terrorists, barbarians at the gate. >> jimmy hoffa did not say all of that. his issue was people to vote. all of the jobs are leaving the united states. not one apple product is made in the united states. not your son's ipod, none of that. >> sean: bill king ham, great american. i -- bill cunningham, great american, i see you laughing, help me out here. >> this is delicious hypocrisy. 16 years ago when mcveigh blew up the federal building in oklahoma city, clinton went after rush limbaugh. now hurricane irene has been blamed on republicans because not enough infrastructure spending. we had in cincinnati

president barack obama has presented his much anticipated jobs act of congress earmarks more than four hundred billion dollars for putting people back to work but critics say it's too little too late obviously and i just can't explain. president obama addressed the lawmakers he put forward measures to create jobs and stimulate the sluggish economy and the u.s. is seen several years of massive job loss unemployment remains over nine percent we're talking about millions of people living jobless in this country congress might cut off unemployment benefits starting next year and the jobless in america will find themselves in an even more dire situation president obama in his address called for the congress to extend benefits for the unemployed he also suggested tax incentives for small businesses another measure he could forward is giving money we're talking about one hundred forty billion dollars to states and local governments so that they can keep you know the teachers and firefighters employed also hire infrastructure workers so that those workers can go out and spend money and keep th

chris: president obama's decision to go into iraq made barack obama president. one of the unintended consequences, 9/11 probably led to the probability of iraq happening, being able to be sold to the country any under circumstances. unpopularty led to what i believe as barack obama's unexpected, out of nowhere, selection by the democratic voter over hillary clinton. >> right. it's hard to say what would have happened if that were had not happened. as we know, obama was the only one and touted it during his campaign, i voted no against that war. it was a wrong war. it was a dumb war. chris: senator clinton voted for it and he used that against her. >> that was one of her biggest handicaps. it it is also hard to say what could have happened. maybe if the attention had been on afghanistan from the beginning and not dropped to the iraq war, whether we would have solvedcation or whether we would be out of nenn right now. we don't know any of these things. we don't know what the field would be like in terms of candidates. maybe osama bin laden would have been captured

president obama has a plan. he asked congress to pass a $447 million bill called the american jobs act which includes a payroll tax cut, 8 to the states, and for those who have been out of work and long time. congressman michele bachmann asked what is new. apparently nothing. >> there should be nothing controversial about this piece of legislation. everything in here is the kind of proposal that has been supported by both democrats and republicans. including many who sit here tonight. and everything in this bill will be paid for. everything. >> what is the problem, charles? full speed ahead, right? >> there is nothing in this bill that wasn't proposed and enacted two years ago and then failed. what strikes me is the fact that it seems to me and abuse of the majesty of the venue. a joint session of congress is a place where fdr asked the country the day after pearl harbor for a declaration of war on japan. well lbj stood and asked for a revolution in civil rights. obama used it as a way to kick off his campaign.

president obama goes to ohio tomorrow.e the full list tomorrow of all 94 bridges, we'll show you the names of the bridges that are structurally deficient in boehner's own district. he's got to remember the old rule, all politics is local. he's not just speaker of the house, he's a local congressman and has to look out for those bridges. well, we're talking facts here. >>> up next this weekend, september 11th memorial services saw america's leaders come together, regardless of political party. president obama stood side by side with president bush at ground zero and bill clinton teamed up with john boehner to finish the memorial in shanksville, pennsylvania, for flight 93. i was there, boy, it was great to see the team spirit of the american people there and the strong feelings of pennsylvanians. this is "hardball" only on msnbc. somewhere in america, there's a doctor who can peer into the future. there's a nurse who can access in an instant every patient's past. and because the whole hospital's working together, there's a

obama beat john mccain, not only did mr. obama win, he won hugely. he won by nearly an eight-point margin. he won by about nearly 10 million votes. his margin of victory over john mccain was three times the margin of victory that george w. bush had over john kerry in the previous election. and the map from the '08 election makes that clear. the republican nominees for president and vice president won their home states, of course. alaska and arizona. they got deep red mostly low population states and that was it. that's all they got. they got the south. minus florida, minus north carolina, minus virginia. even though john mccain did win his home state of arizona he wasn't able to translate that into victory in nevada or new mexico or colorado. barack obama in 2008 won so big, so big that even this happened. >> hey, brian, one more thing, by the way, i'm having fun watching. nebraska, you know -- >> it's your favorite congressional -- >> they split their electoral votes. there's a way to follow it very easily. omaha right here. it's two counties make u

wall street journal not a fan of president obama, and headline obama a bid to spur growth.nk what they would like to have written. don't be fooled again or snake oil. but they can't do that . they are assuming he a point when he announces the plan. >> they are just reporting the facts and factual reporting and generally speaking to the issue that bought the republican line on this issue and they bought the whole austerity . stimulate the economy when it is a long-term problem and trying to stimulate and get jobs is a short-term problem. they have bought hook, line ander in the republican on this issue . they have completely ignored what so many economist are saying. deficit long term . you can't explain economics in a sound bite. i was struck by how kind everybody was about the speech. i thought it was less impressive and david brooks and paul of the new york times said great speech and pretty good plan. what is the plan i am not sure. snu>> it was a great speech and details of the plan are available for anybody to look at. >> and yeah, i mean the president laid out. it goe

that florida poll, going one on one, perry against obama, romney against obama, bears that out.y significant difference there. are voters going to start making their decision here based on electability, or when in the republican primary do voters start turning in the direction of electability? >> i think that as long as you see two things, polls that have rick perry ahead of mitt romney and polls that have mitt romney ahead of barack obama, you're going to see the romney campaign making a really big issue out of electability, saying that we're the stronger candidate in the race, that mitt romney's the republican who can beat barack obama. and i think when you look at the florida primary, which is a big, important primary. it was four years ago, it will be very important in the general election, the single most important influence on that is the outcome of the new hampshire primary and the south carolina primary. and you saw polls today in new hampshire that show mitt romney gaining in his lead. and you show rick perry falling there. so i think the numbers in florida, lawrence, a

obama's popularity. the new york congressional race is a very good example of that. >> bill: very liberal anthony weiner. >> jews are abandoning obama in droves. >> bill: in that district. >> country wide. he broke even in forest hills, for goodness sake. liberal reform judiciary. he lost the orthodox, of course, he also lost the reform jews, ohio, and florida, walking out the door. >> bill: so your theory is that there is a tremendous groundswell of opposition to the president? >> absolutely. and among his base a lack of enthusiasm and lack of willingness to turn out. i was so struck, bill, the atomic bomb for presidents is a joint session of congress prime time televised speech should jump your ratings a points to 10 points. >> just on the exposure alone. >> 34 million americans watched his speech. everybody was watching. he went up 1 point. >> one point from 42. something to 43. something. that means not that he was a bad speech, very good speech. stopped listening to bush when he talked about iraq an

ultimately, though, it is the obama white house, president obama, the person in charge of all of thisit is the obama administration that makes these decisions. >> greta: so the secretary of energy, ultimately responsible, he should since -- he should be -- he should submit maybe his resignation and move on, because this is a huge blunder. anyway, rick, thank you. >> thanks, greta. >> greta: coming up, how much do you think president obama wants to pay with your tax money to create each new job? here's the catch -- why does the obama administration think this is a bargain? plus, president obama may be getting a wake-up call. not the 3:00 a.m. one, but it's from two generals, and it may shake up a lot of people finally. that's coming up. eggland's best eggs. the best in nutrition... just got better. now with even more of the vitamins your body needs. like vitamin d. plus omega 3's. there's one important ingredient that hasn't changed: better taste.

why do you think obama won? an anti-bush vote. now we are seeing the anti-obama vote. there is no chance obama will will be reelected, no chance at all. >> it does depend on -- >> sean: look at the polls. polls show he is at the lowest number. president bush in his first term didn't go below 46%. in the economy, 30s. you sold 400 million books. i know you care about your readers. >> of course. >> sean: now people are struggling to go on a family vacation to buy books. >> which i think is shocking, because we have a resident whose wife has spent more money on vacation taking her friends here there and everywhere while people are on the bread line to me that is shocking. i think that vote reflects what the people want. >> sean: i agree. if you are going to martha's vineyard and hang out with the rich and famous you think the husband and wife can cord mate their flight times in and out. -- coordinate their flight times in and out? >> no, absolutely not. i want to hear what leslie has to say about that. >> come on guys you are splitting hairs. did george w. bush and laura

obama called for quick passage of his jobs bill in his weekly media address. a cbs news/"new york times" poll puts his approval rating at 43%, his lowest yet and as whit johnson tells us, his jobs plan is proving to be a tough sell even to some democrats. >> reporter: to sell america on his plan for the economy, president obama will need support from democrats like joshua scannell. >> he hasn't done much since he has been in office. >> reporter: a former obama '08 campaign activist, scannell has little faith in the president's new jobs bill. >> i think that it's a bad bill. i think that it's a bill that doesn't actually produce the kind of jobs that we need. >> reporter: in a recent cbs news/"new york times" poll, 47% of americans say they are not confident that the american jobs act will put people back to work still, president obama is crisscrossing the country. >> hello, everybody. >> reporter: arguing his combination of tax cuts and investments is the best way forward. >> everything in the american jobs act is the kind of idea that has been supported by de

the scheduling kerfuffle took up pr obama moves on jobs, and obama blks on jobs speech.were many more where that came from. still, though, no primetime competition between the president and the 2012 gop-ers. he has another to face off with. summing it up, obama's speech up against packers. that's right. the president's speech will now air directly before the opening game of the nfl season. that's between the green bay packers and new orleans saints. so instead of sharing the stage with eight republican candidates, president obama will be competing for attention with the last two super bowl winners. next up, that's not the only scheduling nightmare that erupted yesterday.ç the sarah palin-christine o'donnell tilt is tougher to follow. so pay attention. a few weeks ago sarah palin was scheduled to make an appearance at a tea party rally that will take place in iowa this weekend. days later, failed 2010 senate candidate christine o'donnell of delaware also invited. so far so good. then the tea partiers got angry and sent letters protesting o'donnell's appearance. she was u

it's not great for barack obama.he end of the earth yet. >> he's got a year plus to go before an election. thanks very much, gloria. jack cafferty's joining us. >> americans are afraid where our economies going and it shows. a new study on financial security shows 40% of consumers have cut their spending in the last two months. the bankrate.com survey shows supplies to americans in all income groups from the rich down to the poor. consumer spending makes up two-thirds of the u.s. economy. so if the cutback in spending continues, we could be headed into another recession. the study shows people across all educational levels say their net worth is lower today than it was last year. job security's a big worry. 23% of those under 30 say they feel more secure in their jobs now than they did a year ago. that's a little more than one in five. that number drops to 10% for people between the ages of 50 and 64. it's easy to understand why people are concerned when unemployment remains stubbornly above 9% and forecast to remain
