but peter baker, for instance, who was a great white house reporter, used to be. how you guys let him get away, he went to "the new york times." >> before i got there. >> and peter baker was filing three or four times a day. a guy who likes to write longer form. and i watched the tv guys on the cable news guys. they were popping up every 25 minutes and going outside. and they were on their blackberries sending e-mails. i said what are you doing? they said, we're doing interviews. they are afraid to do it in a crowded room on the phone because everyone can hear you. and they don't have time to do that anymore. so they are doing these quick feeds. and increasingly, the content of what we report is affected by the technology. not just at the white house. think about campaign coverage. it used to be 25 years ago that you had file time. and the campaign -- first of all, you flew on a campaign plane, which now reporters have to fend for themselves. but there were typewriters set up and they would file their stories, usually on the phone, and 15 years ago you saw them fi

joining us is "new york times" white house correspondent peter baker, who was formerly based in moscow covered vladimir putin extensively. great to see you, albeit remote. thanks for joining us. so are we making too much of a big deal? there are a lot of photos we have showing an incredibly awkward sit-down between the president and president putin. what do you make of that relationship and specifically, could you contrast it to the relationship the president, president obama had with medvedev? >> right. good question. look, partly we focus on body language because the actual statements that were released after the meeting were so benign. they didn't reveal very much about what was said in the meeting. we take a look at how they sit, how they interact with each other, and yes, this is a very chilly looking pair there, and the ambassador is right. this is how putin is but that's sort of the point. medvedev and obama seemed to share rapport when they got together, younger men, both lawyers. president putin, of course, a former kgb officer, not all that happy with the united states right

the "new york times" peter baker, thank you for your time, sir. >>> after the break, is marco rubio'sam over? what president obama's new immigration policy means for the gop's immigration policy. people with a machine. what ? customers didn't like it. so why do banks do it ? hello ? hello ?! if your bank doesn't let you talk to a real person 24/7, you need an ally. hello ? ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense. totell congress we can't wait.eo firecongress refuses to act.s, chances are, you're not made of money, so don't overpay for motorcycle insurance. geico, see how much you could save. >>> some of these kids are valedictorians of their high school and we're going to deport them. that doesn't make sense either. i'm trying to figure out an approach to that that's balanced, that doesn't encourage illegal immigration in the future but recognizes the humanitarian position these kids are in. my biggest concern is that by doing this this way, the president is undermined and set back the hopes of getting a long-term solution done on this issue. but listen, i hope i'm wrong because thi

peter baker put it this way, david. even the world's last superpower has only so much control over events beyond its border and its own course can be dramatically affected. what happens today for the president's re-election potentially? >> everything beyond the borders is a potential bomb for the obama campaign. i mean, most people believe that even though it was a conservative party that, you know, seems to have prevailed in greece in the elections that's good for obama because they're more or less in sync with the ongoing plan for the bailout and keep greece within the euro zone. if it hadn't gone that way it would have been more instability and affect the markets in europe and affect yoour markets here. both the obama and romney campaign struggle every day to get their message, narrative out and i think they have seen in the last few weeks with this world of twitter and international financial ties that they can be blown off course very easily by something small like a story about a dog on a roof of a car or somethin
