the other thing i want to add, steve, president obama's been criticized for not making a deal with malakigroup in iraq and we're reading now that fallujah and ramadi, if i'm pronouncing that right, are under siege. we may have lost them. the local al qaedas are coming back. it breaks my heart because we put so much sacrifice into both afghanistan and iraq. whether or not it's barack obama's own problem or mistake, i'm not sure, but things look like they're going the wrong direction, steve. i don't like that. >> well, the president frankly put the foreign policy issues at a lower level of priority than the stuff he's really interested in which is the domestic policy. presidents have to make risk-based decisions but in this case, by accepting risk and getting out real fast before the iraqis were ready and looking like we're going to do the same thing in afghanistan, when you accept risk, sometimes you lose. in this case, in iraq, it looks like we've lost that bet and if it keeps going the way it's going in afghanistan, i think we'll lose control there as well. >> wes clark, another point th

obama should be talking about families, families produce social mobility that steve moore referred to. families reduce poverty. it's not soaking the rich. he himself could be an example, right? i am pro-obama, he is a family man. there's no reason to believe, you know, he sets a good example with his daughters. why doesn't he do that instead of trying to tax the rich? >> i don't think -- bill clinton did that. he talked about that in the 1990s as the family as a vehicle for social mobility. obama, it's not in his playbook, it's not part of his rhetoric. i don't think he has a whole lot of interest. >> bill clinton -- >> it was a generic idea. >> i'll say this. look it, if obama wants a growth agenda like let's say corporate tax reform, let's say what i'm going to call reasonable and efficient immigration reform, particularly with the brainiacs, college students and kids born here, you know, republicans will play ball with him. it won't have to be partisan gridlock. they'll play ball with him. but if he goes to this sandanista agenda, the gop won't play ball with him. >> that would be

the president thinks apparently during an interview with the new yorker president obama weighed in on hot topics. stevet any is live with what the president said including why he compared al qaeda to a jv basketball team. >> good morning. that's right. the president gave an unusually wide ranging interview with david rennic with new yorker. he made a sports comparison about the al qaeda faction which ceased fallujah in iraq. he rights this quoting obama. the analogy we use around here sometimes and i think is accurate is if a jv team puts on lakers uniforms that doesn't make him kobe bryant resorting to a uncharacteristically flip analogy. also in an interview published around martin luther king day which is food officially the president said of race, there is no doubt that there is some folks who just really didn't like me because they don't like the idea of a black president. the flip side of that is there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt because i am a black president. >> culture wars he commented on marijuana, too. i smoked pot

obama, 33%. a lot of people, steve, have thoughts about this. the question from senator chambliss, talking about terrorist attacks, the second sound bite here, is why did this come to a protest and a video, and how? and they can't get that answered. take a listen to senator chambliss. >> i think very clearly they knew by the time that meeting took place that this was a terrorist attack. and they had to discuss the ramifications of what a terrorist attack meant in light of the fact that the president had been out there talking about al qaeda had been decimated. did they know al qaeda was directly involved at that point in time? probably so. but again, i don't know what was discussed there. and i can't really answer that. >> and he's suggested they have been stonewalled by the state department and the white house. >> even democrats acknowledge the white house was not cooperative initially and still there are many things the committee would like to see that they haven't yet seen. i think there's an answer to the question, the video question. there

sadly, steve jobs predicted four years ago as he spoke to president obama, you are killing then our future as a technology industry with this strategy because that immigration overall reform so difficult. we'd love to see a stand-alone bill, but we have to go with what the president wants, he's the president. frankly, it's not the president who's holding things up, it's the speaker of the house of representatives. until or unless he makes a decision for that to go forward, we're just marking time. we're very disappointed that something didn't happen under a democratic congress. >> so you guys wouldn't have a problem if the skillsby act or a similar bill were the one to move through the house and, you know, obviously, there's a lot of questions on what would happen then with a conference report or what the senate or the president would do, but just from your perspective, that would be a fine approach, to focus on that specifically and leave everything else to a later time? >> guest: oddly happy with any way of getting that legislation true. of it's a shame that we're holding our innovation
