cornell west, for letting someone like van jones be heard for focusing on the poor, which seems to haveeen forgotten in this equation of the middle class struggling. yeah, but too many poor people. but isn't that what -- isn't that exactly what's going on in this country? isn't our president trying to say, ok, i know what i can't do, tell me very specifically what you won't let me do, and then i will try to do as much good as i can. i see it all as the same thing, i really do. and in some ways, it's made me like much more politically present and involved. and maybe because i relate to it personally right now. i have a personal connection with this struggle. look at these millions and millions of people who are being told, no, you can't. no, you can't get a job. no, you can't eat. no, you can't read. no, you can't go to the doctor. i felt like that personally as a young woman. and it's -- i mean, it's not the same. i know that. and one is very profound and one is the job of entertainment. but there is a kind of parallel, like a visceral reaction i have to all of this because it's what i

van jones, a communist, getting into the white house. would definitely say that america is in decline. host: from russell, on our twitter page -- host: let me go back to the words of robert keeton. he concludes with this point. host: again, from "the new republic," which is where we're basing our question from this morning. do you think the united states is in decline? victor, good morning. caller: we are not in decline yet. we have one last chance to save ourselves. we must vote obama out of office. we must vote for every liberal who voted for obama care out of office. if this is not successful, the left will be successful and then we will see a decline of the united states. for me, the biggest sign of decline will be when the left is successful at taking rush limbaugh out -- off the airwaves. i do not hear him on the radio anymore, that is when i know this country is doomed. host: thank you for the call. nancy, in oklahoma. is america in decline? caller: partially in decline. there is too much funding going to different ethnic groups t

, held in the world can we have the president's they can hire communists in his cabinet, such as van jonesing offink we're the rails there. talk to us about what he talked about in the beginning, regarding hollywood money, i guess, for the liberals versus let's say big business money for republicans and conservatives. no one really has the upper hand on this as far as super pac's, is that correct? guest: it depends on how you look at it. there does not seem to be much question that right now business in general, business interests benefit and the democrats know this. generally that countervailing influence has been unions, and now there is a super pac that supports president obama that is largely union. they have not raised nearly as much but they do not need to because we're going to the gop primary. but the single biggest contribution we have seen so far is to the obama-supporting super pac, from jeffrey katzenberg, $2 million, the ceo of a dream works. that is a lot of money. you have bob perry, $2.5 million, he has given that to american crossroads, the republican uber super pac, which
