anything can go to british rule and had an effect but united states doesn't follow that great anymore. british style of the united states barack obama himself i think is ambivalent about being involved in yet another middle east war. he takes a walk on them. south lawn of the white house's chief of staff denis mcdonough one night. you circle round around forty minutes talking it through. and as we comes up with the idea that i'm going to the congress and ask them to vote on this. will congress and in the country can sanction these things what are the sunshine there's something about the progression. because anything that doesn't fit into the framework of the un security council it is enough to progress to accept self defense. so delish. four days later barack obama met with vladimir putin serious staunchest ally. despite the smiles the atmosphere at the scene petersburg g twenty summit was tense. the syrian war in the asylum granted to former nsa contractor edward snowdon were just some of the sensitive issues. but against all aunts a resolution to the crisis began to emerge. record cold the obama side on the sidelines of the g twen

that makes it more complicated for democrats, i think, is that you are president of the united states in barack obama who in principle and has in practice been in favor of entitlements. >> i know. he is reasonable, fortunately. >> at different times of the course of his administration, he has been on record for proposing relatively large cuts to medicare. he is in principle for trying to reform social security. and frankly, for the long run fiscal health of the country, those things probably need to happen. the question is how they get done. and that's where the real argument that democrats should want to have is. the republicans just want to say cut everything. >> john, i'm with you. i think in the end you have to compromise. but when you go into an election with a posture, alex sink in florida, this week, the big test election, she went in there with an idea of compromise, let's work across the aisle. we saw her commercials. we showed them. she also said obamacare isn't perfect. it's got to be fixed. i'm not going to hold the line and say everything is great. but that point of view, which was so da

barack obama's priorities. that's the reason. barack obama -- >> the united states' priority. >> but from barack obama's perspective, this is a guy who talks about income inequality all the time, redistribution of wealth, that is his priority. when he got elected, that was his goal, to make things more equal, to take from one person and give to another. those other things you're suggesting, great ideas, not his priority and he's speaking for himself. >> income inequality is what pope francis has been talking about for the last year. >> he took the name francis because francis of assisi took care of the poor. >> that's right. >> something that the republicans ought to learn how to do. >> president reagan at the time saw a very popular pope, and he said you know what, let's work together on something we find is a common ground issue that we need to help and need to fix, communism. president obama says don't get involved in politics, pope francis, i've got this. you take care of the other stuff. >> seized the issue because there was commonality. >> pope john paul ii ca

united states and around the world. momentarily, the president of the united states, president barack obama will walk into the briefing roome major new sanctions being imposed on top russian officials and others whom the united states believes were complicit in what the u.s. regards as this illegal referendum that taook place yesterday in crimea, a referendum that turned out that 97% said crimea should be a part of russia. the white house released a formal statement of 11 top russian officials that are being sanctioned by the united states. >> there were sanctions issued in the past few weeks. it identified people that were viewed as contributing to the destablization of ukraine. four individuals were identified under that but not really identified fully until now. now, this new executive order, basically, expands the sanctions. the frool which they will draw now and in the future will include russian government officials, arms dealers and people seen as contributing to those individuals. the people named specifically in this new executive order, there are seven in number. a total of 11 people between the two executive ord

united states in nato, saying this should be a time for caution and wise, diplomatic moves. but we have yet to hear, until now, from the president of the united states on this situation. president barack obama in the white house briefing room. >> over the last several days, the united states has been responding to events as they unfold in ukraine. throughout this crisis, we have been very clear about one fundamental principle, the ukrainian people deserve the opportunity to determine their own future. together with our european allies, we have urged an end to the violence and encouraged ukrainians to pursue a course in which they stabilize their country, forge a broadbased government, and move to elections this spring. i also spoke several days ago with president putin, and my administration has been in daily communication with russian officials. we've made clear that they can be part of an international communities effort to support the stability and success of a united ukraine going forward. which is not only in the interest of the people of ukraine and the international community, but also in russia's interests. however, we are now deeply concerned by reports of military movements taken

united states. of the very much on top agenda for president barack obama. and that g-7 meeting no longer a g8 meeting with russian not part of it for now. national security adviser susan rice is on the trip and she has spoken about the priorities for the united states. she said this, speaking to reporters before the trip -- the international community will be broadly rethinking its relationship with russia and the united states, she says, will be aiming to show strong alliances with its partners in europe, asia, and the middle east. also, sanctions, of course, will be discussed. the strongest sanctions so far will be imposed by the united states. this is a country that wants to talk seriously with its allies -- the likes of united kingdom, france, and germany, entries seen more reluctant to put in place stricter sanctions. these are countries that the united states wants to convince. this is a trip that will be largely about ukraine, not only during the first stop but also in brussels when president barack obama will be meeting the u.s.of nato and then the

>> yes, i think the united states, the congress didn't want barack obama fire the missiles at syria and have the strength to do it unilaterally on his own and take the heat from the domestic and international groups. there are questions now where they say the united states is so war-weary, they will not act, but let me just say -- >> president putin is counting on it. whenever you fight a war as a historian, i know this. you look for the weakness of your opponent, he is not going to be able to reason. >> that is the art of war. >> wait, wait, wait, you can react to what i say, but i want mary katherine to react first, germany, i'm not so sure. merkel is in a very tight spot. but the weakness of russia, their economy, the weakness is the ruble, and the united states can lay a heavy, heavy low, mary katherine, and that is where i go, and go quickly. >> yeah, i think that is true, there are many options between the boots on the ground, and barack obama framing it as a false choice. frankly if you took your talking points you could plug it in for cohesive existence. there is skepticism to b

expected to announce sanctions and president barack obama told vladimir puntin on the phone that the crimea vote would never be recognized by the united states. they said they that he creates national law. >>> mahmoud abbas will talk a with president barack obama about middle east piece talks. they -- peace talks. they have made it clear that he objects to some of the provisions including recognizes israel as a dash extend. >>> they are trying to figure out if some of this is widespread and two much the hardest hit and wind and rain also and in the meantime they had to come to the rescue of some campers after the flooding caused flooding. rain caused the area to flood quickly like in that scene there however all of them made it 0. and sacramento county sheriff's deputies say a man was shot to death while loading items into his car when somebody speeding through the parking lot opened fire and now it is still and so far no arrests have been made. >>> city of sap fran and the mayor is double willing the amount of money and it is up to and they are worth as much as $700,000 and the money does not have to be paid back until the homeowner sells t

it describes visually the changes in the demography of the united states that led to barack obama's election. the picture of obama is actually one that was taken on election night of 2008. >> host: professor one of the first things you say in this book is this is a book about discomfort. what do you mean? >> guest: i think the changes that are taking place in the united states create a certain level of discomfort among some americans. we certainly see with the tea party. they are uncomfortable at the demographic changes that are taking place in the united states. they are uncomfortable with the changes in family relationships. they are uncomfortable about homosexuahomosexua ls and relationships and marriage and so for that i think americans have understood that these changes that have taken place in the country are here to stay but for some americans that creates this discomfort because there is a sense of loss, a loss of what america used to be, a loss of that 1950s america, a loss of a time when rules to put it lightly were clear about you know marriage and family and work. just even on th

. >> here we have the last three presidents of the united states, bill clinton, george bush and barack obama almost 2 million deported so far, obama has deported more people than live in the state of nebraska. a star goes to obama. >> there are more illegal immigrants in the united states than there were in the past, how fair a criticism is it? >> we're seeing that the obama administration is the one that has deported more people in the history of the united states. unfortunately the administration is driving the deportation and enforcement system that is out of control and it's totally true. so that's why you a seeing now the pressure mounting. the white house is feeling the pressure of organizations and democrats that are saying this need to stop because these are the people that can benefit from the legislation in the future. >> what do you think he can realistically do through executive orders? isn't he following the law and if congress canned figure out what do, do you want him to move an act unilaterally? he has gotten in trouble with that in the past. >> there is no doubt he has the r

correspondent to look rather brooke obama arrives in europe and with a very different set of priorities for the united states. ukraine now very much top of the agenda for president barack obama and the g seven meeting new gone to the g eight meeting with russia. not all told it for now national security adviser susan rice is on this trip and she has spoken about the priorities for the united states she said this that speaking to reporters before the trip international community will be broadly rethinking its relationship with russia and the united states he says will be aiming to show strong alliances with its partners in europe and asia and the middle east also the sanctions of course will be discussed the strongest section so far have been enthused by the united states and this is a country that wants to talk seriously with its allies the likes of united kingdom prawns and gemini countries that are seen as more reluctant to putting in a new place. stricter sanctions these are countries that the united states wants to convince that this is a trip that will be launching about ukraine not only during the bus stop but also in brussels when presenter aka baba will be meet

. >> here, we have the last three presidents of the united states, bill clinton, george bush and barack obamamost 2 million deported so far, barack obama has supported more people that live in the entire state of nebraska. no one has deported more people. a star first place goes to barack obama. >> christina, there are more illegal i am grants -- immigrants than there were in the past. how far is it. >> we are seeing the obama administration is the one that has deported the most number of people in the history of the united states. unfortunately, the administration is driving a deportation and enforcement system that is out of control and it's totally true. so that's why you are seeing now the pressure mounting. the white house is feeling the pressure of organization and democrats that are coming out and saying, this needs to stop because these are the same people that could benefit from potential legislation in the future what would you like the president to do? because what can he realistically do through executive orders? isn't he just following the law? and if congress can't figure out wh

united states russia no, sir no territorial ambitions. three weeks later a giant celebrating it. he played barack obama for a sucker and the president of the united states has done very little in return. >> it's interesting. let me look back though. we discussed this thing about the internet and now we discussed the situation with a very harsh question from a reporter overseas and everything that's going on with afghanistan and russia. if you go back to 2008 to candidate barack obama. he said when visiting berlin we made our share of mistakes and our actions or around the world have not lived up to our best intention. should that have not been a foreign policy. global get along type foreign policy which certainly obviously we see what happened in crimea last week and the month ago. but, you know, didn't we know? >> yeah. look, that was a warning. as was his subsequent speech in june of 2009 in cairo. you know, sort of the blame america first, america hasn't lived up to our great ideals. america needs to withdraw from the world stage. i mean, the president has been very explicit about this. it's just th

president barack obama has detained more immigrants in jail, prisons, and detention facilities than any other president of the united states of america. that's five for five. and it goes to deporter in chief, barack obama. but because obama derangement syndrome is so fact resistant i'm not optimistic i have convinced anybody this morning. but tell that to the more than 5,000 american citizen children who they sit in foster care because their moms or dads have been deported. mr. speaker, let's be clear. the immigrant community is organized and will continue to pressure republicans and the president until this unpress didn'ted way of deportation ends. republicans can either be participants in how this country advances more sensible immigration policies, or they can sit on the sideline while the president does it with his phone and pen. secondly, if we pass immigration reform in this body today, most of the new reforms won't take place for two years. obama won't even be president of the united states of america. in fact, if republicans continue to insist on making immigration reform a football in their game against the curren

military heroes who were forgotten because of racial discrimination in the united states have finally, been honored. president barack obamarded medals to 24 men. only three are still alive because of their heroics happened so long ago. patty colhane has this story. >> melton morris has hung the flag outside of his florida home, a way of telling passersby of his patriotism. his hat tells he has earned it? >> distinguished cross, bronze star, purple heart. >> 44 years ago, he won the second highest medal award. he went back to treetrieve the body of a fellow soldier and was shot 3 times. the reason he was denied the highest award, president barack obama called him personally to tell him, it was racism. >> he said, i want to apologize to you. you should have received the medal of honor 44 years ago. and i am presenting you with the congressional medal of honor. and i dropped down on my knees. i was overwhelmed >> reporter: over the last 20 years, the u.s. military has been looking back to right previous wrongs, medalses denies because of race or religion. researchers behind the studies are quick to point out it was the u.s.

but it describes i think visually the changes in the democracy of the united states that led to barack obama's election. .. and sho forth. and i think americans understand the changes taking place in the country are here to stay. but for some americans can creates discomfort because there is a sense of loss. a loss of a 1950's america. a loss of a time when rules were clear about marriage, family and work. just even on that work side of it. the loss of control americans have. and what i mean by that is in the 50's and 60's you work for a company for 25 years and got the gold watch when you reer retire. and now we have americans going from one job to another and the changes create discomfort. >> host: what about on liberal side? where is the discomfort there? >> guest: there is not a discomfort when you come to gay marriage and stuff. although, when the book was done in 2008-2009, he wasn't a supporter of gay marriage and avoided the subject up until 2012. that is receding. there is unease about the nature of the family in the united states with kids being brought up by single moms and dads and

united states. so they feel the americans are disengaging from the region. this is why barack obama is going there, to try to reassure them. >> nevertheless, the saudis are looking around for other people, other countries with whom to build strong reliances particularly because of iran. because they're part of the american position? >> yes. now, the relationship between the saudi arabia and u.s. over about seven decades was based on the u.s. providing the security of saudi arabia and the gulf and the saudi arabia pumping oil. now, with the tension and the lack of trust that has built up recently, saudi arabia has started to look outside with pakistan is, of course, a nuclear power. and saudi arabia is looking at that direct to try and do it on their own with preparing themselves for a total u.s. disengagement. >> mohammed, thank you very much, indeed, for that update on the challenges facing president obama in saudi arabia. within the last few minutes just before he left italy, he apparently made clear to cbs television that russia must pull back its troops from the ukrainian border

. >>> the latest polls show that more americans think the united states is weaker than it was before barack obama you agree with that? the governor's answer, his top three presidential contenders, and whether he regrets hugging president obama after hurricane sandy. more on the kelly file, tune in or set your dvr. >>> as a candidate barack obama promised he would be a transf m transformative figure who would move the country forward. consider this, the president has proposed reducing our army to the lowest level since before world war ii, after pioneering man's space flight, american astronauts cannot venture into space or return home without paying putin's russia. here on our own soil, the president's critics fear that we have not seized our own initiative inherent

this comes down to the power of vulnerable democrats in the united states senate who are telling harry reid and barack obama make this go away or they're going to make such a stink, because the last thing harry reid wants is a bill on the floor that could make democrats take bad votes and endanger this law. >> unbelievable. chris, thank you, sir. >> you bet. >>> still ahead, the nra taking new aim at the president's pick for surgeon general. i'll speak with the head of the gun rights group about their unprecedented effort to get this guy out of there. >>> breaking news tonight on the washington state mudslide. the death toll is rising now, as hopes are fading for survivors. a live report coming up. >>> speaking of the u.s. supreme court and obama care rulings. a major religious freedom case heard by the supreme court today that could have a groundbreaking effect across the country. wait until you see this report next. >> we want to continue to live out the way we do business. the choices the government has forced on us is not fair and not in keeping with the history of our great nation founded on our great

barack obama. and it is a stain upon the honor of the united states and that stain must be outed.avis: the argument for why the documents are never released is an age-old argument and you know it, national security interests. tell me how these should be released if they will argue national security is at stake. >> what is at stake is not national security. we know what went on. what is at stake is national embarrassment. you can publish the executive summary of this document and the only thing that is going to happen is the people who have blood on their hands are going to have to show their hands to the world. tavis: how hard should the media -- it is their responsibility to hold the cia responsible and it is our responsibility to hold all of them accountable. how hard should the media push on this and are we seeing an aggressive enough push to uncover this? >> i am not. this is not a one-day story. this is a story about how we run our affairs as a nation under the rule of law. and what our standards are. torture is a stain on our national honor. we must account for this. we must

eve of election, barack obama said we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the united statesof america. no one in his right mind even thinks like that. unless they are progressives. they believe they are on the side of history. of the moral arc universe is bent on justice. that phrase is woven into a carpet that obama has installed in the oval office it is his inspiration. missionary paradise is called social justice. the pursuit of social justice is why the democratic harty sent out radically to transform and fix the economy and regulate the health care, 300 million americans without the support -- coo co --n itself, cuckoo. single the support of a republican. ae democrats party has become dangerous party. it is driven by the missionary left. politics as war conducted. that is why democrats say and believe that republican's are conducted wars against women and minorities and the poor while repugnant refer to them as liberals and patiently explain why their policies will not work. explain why their policies will not work, they would be out of business. socialism does not work

president barack obama talked to puttin saying they will never be recognized by the united states and the international community. puttin appears to be winning at a high paced game of chess. >> he set the table. clearly that has happened. >> reporter: thousands of ukranians stayed home calling it a circus at gunpoint by russia. thousands more put in their vote. cbs news, new york. >>> russian president puttin continues to say it complying with international law. >>> meantime in an eastern city in ukraine protesters smashed their way into public building and burned ukranian-languaged books. they broke windows and doors. they say they want out of ukraine. >>> a u.s. army general once considered a rising star has agreed to a plea deal that includes the dropping of sexual assault charges against him. sources tell cbs news as part of the deal, sinclair will plead guilty to lesser charges, he will not have to register as a sex offender itch the mystery surrounding the malaysian jet only deepens with every bit of new information. even aviation expeters are scratching their heads. >> reporter

barack obama is president of the united states. it's a slightly different matter, number one. number two, in the case of john mccain, he has the winston churchill maxim totally backwards. winston churchill always said "to jaw-jaw is better than war." i don't know how much credibility he has on this kind of thing. as for the president and his advisers, i talked to a number of them this afternoon. he said that john kerry, the secretary of state, and the president himself are making it clear that our interests in the region are for the freedom of the ukrainian people. their right to self-determination. for the rights of russians, by the way, and russian speakers in the region dealt with peacefully. and for respect for international law. those are things that they plan to pursue. i also think that they know that the right thing to do here is that probably not get into a swearing match or proto military confrontation with vladimir putin. you don't corner the animal. and that's sort of the situation we're in here right now. and they're trying to be cool and to ratchet down the rheto

must have a bunch of people in the republican party who just simply don't like barack obama being president of the united statesdon't like him being there. they don't like him being president. they want the congress to get him under control, stop letting this man run the country. and they are trying to activate that base. because most people i talk to care about things like jobs and health care and trying to get the kids through school without having a mountain of debt and get their kids educated and technology. and nobody in the republican caucus seems to care about those issues or have a plan for dealing with them. >> congresswoman jan schakowsky and jamal simmons, thank you for being here tonight. >>> the koch brothers can't operator in secret anymore. >>> plus, a jaw-dropping twist in the search for that missing plane. developing news about the shutdown of the communications system. that's next. discover card. i missed a payment. aw, shoot. shoot! this is bad. no! we're good! this is your first time missing a payment. and you've got the it card, so we won't hike up your apr for paying late. that's great! it

united states won't be boosting the financial base of the imf. u.s. senators are discussing a bill submitted by president barack obama that's aimed at assisting ukraine. the legislation includes a billion dollar loan guarantee, and also a freeze of russian assets. some lawmakers wanted the bill to include a provision that would increase the amount of money that the u.s. gives to the imf. but strong opposition from republicans made them give up that idea. imf managing director christine lagarde says that she's deeply disappointed. >>> people have been taking a closer look at virtual currencies, after a tokyo-based bitcoin exchange went bust. officials at the u.s. internal revenue service now say online currencies will be taxed in the same way as stocks and other forms of property. people use virtual currencies to settle transactions just as they would conventional forms of money. but, irs officials say online currencies like bitcoin should not be treated like cash. the irs officials say profits made when investors trade virtual currencies are taxable, just like profits from stock trading. and they say wages paid in vi

united states. the strong talk but it doesn't give the strong wark. when you think but the united states was leading effectively from behind on libya and syria barack obama on foreign policy is showing that it's not his strongest suit so the west really should try to have a more coordinated approach. rather than just rely on rhetoric and should some of that i think it's already been stated or there's no way it's hard there's no way that the west is going to go to war over ukraine so really we're looking at other mechanisms to solve the crisis should the west go take the blame for what's happened in ukraine. no i think think in the at the end of the day it's the ukraine that's got to take the responsibility for what's happened in ukraine i think all sides should should ensure that they don't escalate the crisis but at the end of the day the fact that ukraine is more or less a basket case is its own fault and what the international community should aim to do is to resolve its issues to help solve its issues back and i think americans should or shouldn't western politicians there is an entity survives and doesn't let me just i should let the e.u. and us pol

barack obama and after barack obama. >> there's also this issue, mark, though, about -- people have been asking me this question. the united statesy it's for democracy and all these countries, but only when they like the person in power or like the person being taken out of power. what if crimea would democratically vote to be a part of russia, wouldn't the u.s. have to support that to be consistent with its morals? >> well, i think what john mccain is saying and what lindsey graham and others are saying is what you're hearing in private around the world. that there is a pullback of american leadership, and you're seeing that. it's creating a vacuum and a void. right now, the united states ran its foreign policy on syria, regrettably, through russia. right now we're dependent upon russia related to iran. but at the same time, we're lecturing some of our allies in the region and telling them how to do their business with israel, saudi arabia, and others. and i think what we have to do is engage in a smart policy. whether it's democracy promotion for americans or republican, or democrat, we support democracy. but at the same time,

united states. this is our opportunity to publicly express our gratitude to vice president joe biden and to president barack obama for believing in our community health centers and for moving forward with the promise of accessible and affordable health care to millions of americans. as you know the vice president's just back from a mission to europe where he met with leaders from poland anti-balkans -- and the balkans about the crisis we are having in the ukraine. from a personal perspective we want to make sure that he knows how much that we appreciate his eing here. [applause] >> community health centers love joe biden. [applause] >> throughout his public life, including 36 years in the united states senate, he has truly been a man of the people. a fierce fighter whose work has advanced the ideals and principles upon which this great nation was founded. he is a leader who has stood shoulder to shoulder with us in the fight to expand health care access and sustain a strong safety net in our nation. oe biden knows health centers. he knows what they mean to our communities and the people that we serve. and from a

short while ago, the presidents of russian and the united states had a phone conversation on the crisis in ukraine. vladimir putin called barack obama on friday. the white house says mr. putin agreed to work for a diplomatic solution to the crisis. the kremlin says that is not what happened. it says mr. putin expressed concern for ethnic russians in ukraine and moldova. our white house correspondent michelle kosinski joins us live now from the white house. what do we know about the call from putin to obama? >> reporter: we know something entirely different depending on which sides summary you read. we don't know that there was actually any movement. any positive movement on the diplomatic front. what the u.s. said after the call which happened yesterday evening here in saudi arabia, was president putin reached out to president obama by phone and wanted to talk about a proposal about the diplomatic solution in ukraine. president obama, according to the white house, told putin the diplomatic way forward would require pulling back of russian troops. they did not specify if that meant the tens of thousands of troops amassed at the ukrai

longer than ten minutes and it takes barack obama longer than ten minutes just to complain about fox news every press conference he has. >> the president of united states is treating our constitution worse than a placemat at denny's. >> jon: uh, yep that's what he is doing all right. he is spilling food all over the country. [ laughter ] there's ketchup on the preamble. a cuffy mug ring on the first -- a coffee mug ring, yep. >> the point is you guys are killing it. this crowd is so hot there's no way you can bomb. >> last fall jay leno said so the holidays are coming up, thanksgiving, you know the first thanksgiving the pilgrims said to the indians if you like your land, you can keep it. [laughter] >> jon: it's a joke. the pilgrims and obama and the health care set up through the affordable health care act. [ laughter ] it's -- [laughter] listen, cruz, don't quit your day job. let me rephrase. that quit your day job. other leaders. [laughter] other leaders sought to unify the crowd pulling at the heartstrings. >> this reminds me of a story heard from he eloise anderson. she met a young boy from a poor family. every day at school he got a free lunch if

barack obama. they are in the united states in washington. a.c.l.u. a human rights defense organization has just made a complaint against the government. according to them the drone strikes go against the us constitution and the international law. it can be a work crime and but because basically what's what's required under international law is anytime the united states or any country uses lethal force it has to be proportionate to the harm that they're trying to the risk that they're trying to. combat and what we've seen now in with some of these attacks has been as been that there have been significant numbers as the casualties and then lots of the attacks it seems like the united states has no knowledge of who is who. in their desire to fight against terrorism and protect americans. the a bomb or administration seems to have overstepped its authority. in the international community will bush remain in history as the president of georgia. what image will barack obama leave behind. this was the young head of state full of promise who in two
