hell no. >> does the biting rachel maddow, the change of promise? >> does the idea of the war that bush and cheney haven't been able to wrap up until less than a year, that's true. >> but a lot of people on the left have been critical about the wars in particular and. >> sure. >> other things that have not been accomplished. >> i've been among the most critical but i would not expect it to be done by now. >> the reason it's funny is because it's true. the honeymoon is over. they have tremendous expectations. that's the hang over of any campaign promise and now domestic policy with economy, health care, afghanistan and everywhere else, the wheel is turning. >> the government is hard. a lot of what they are doing, they can promise to close guantanamo but it's actually hard to close t they can promise to employ sanctions on iran but the second push and cheney term policy. >> where we do that week after week to any president of the united states and the fact is they are going to get a let care bill. what they are missing is an economic situation and i t

>> it was tongue in cheek, rachel, but i will tell you this, the republicans have no plan. i would love to see a choice between two or three or five plans from the democrats in america. there's no plan because the republicans simply won't offer one. they are not helping americans 47 million of them who have no coverage at all. they got nothing. >> when you said today that you wouldn't apologize to republicans, you said you did apologize to the 45,000 people who are said to die every year, because they don't have health insurance, but i want to ask you about your choice of words because i just criticized it. you said i apologize to the dead and their families because we haven't ended this holocaust in america. were you making a third reich reference? >> i was saying how disappointed i am that we can't get congress to work together in congress, we're talking about 44,000 people dying every year for lack of health insurance. what are we in congress for if we're not here to talk about that problem. we need to stop the bickering and move ahead. >> policy issues are absolutely th

. >> rachel and her boyfriend were trying to outrun the monsterous waves, and with unbelievable speed and wer, the water ruined everything in its path, including her car. and trapping her inside with terrifying moments that she thought would be her last. >> it was filled with water and i don't know how long, and no air, just black water. and i said a prayer, and the next thing i know, there is a daylight and the car is back up. and i scattered out the broken glass windows and how i got my cuts and infection. >> these are retched times for the people, this will leave deep scars on the battered villages. and supporting other foreigns who came here to help. >> we gave aid to villages that needed help. >> this day is an important part of the healing process, when the community came together to reflect on a week that this corner of the south pacific will never forget. >> and it doesn't end there, five days after two earthquakes and officials have called all the search for survivors in the remote west. they say there is little chance to find more alive, thousands have died and thousand more

rachel, he was also arrested for domestic abuse. i want to make that clear.though is pending. chris brown copped a plea deal. what do you think? is oprah being hypocritical. >> absolutely. i disagree with pat. we are seeing a crack in the oprah armor. she dedicated an entire show to the rihannas out there. where does that leave debra? >> how do you see this as different, pat? >> here's the deal. first of all, he hasn't been convicted unless i'm mistaken. perhaps oprah truly believes that he is not guilty in this case. if we are going to be advocates for doing something about domestic abuse, we have to make sure all the ducks necessary a row and there has been a crime commit and we do the best we can for the victim. we don't know the facts in this case. he hasn't been convicted yet. she may not believe the story and has every right to be fair. >> that's the point. the hearing is pending. why not wait until you know for sure? >> it's her show. this is not government control. there is no fairness doctrine here. it's her show and she can make that choice. >> righ

the tat for tat aspect of apologizing, kind of all digging in on this one. >> i guess kelly, too, rachel, because he did say, i mean, the foot-dragging, knuckle-dragging, neanderthals, always colorful language on the hill but said that the current health care crisis is a holocaust. and whether he regretted using that word, "hollow cost" but it kind is an over-the-top charge and certainly should be sensitive about using that term, and he has not back aid way from those comes. i mean, there's some democratic members up there who are sort of rolling their eyes, want to move on, think maybe he went too far? >> i think there are plenty of people and certainly happened in the joe wilson episode as well, where privately, people of one's own party, where it was republicans then, democrats now who were uncomfortable about this think it draws attention that is unnecessary and unwanted and at the same time, the more they talk about, the more the story continues. so, there's some tactics in how they respond, but sour right, that the words he chose, some of them very evocative, very loaded. remember,
