he has been focused on obama the most. obama's team is focused on romney the most. >> kimberly: you are right. you can tell where the worry is, the frustration is. they think that is the guy to beat. i agree. romney and newton, 100%. newt showed statesman like quality throughout the debate. that is part of the reason he's been elevated. he has been focused on message and focusing on obama and focusing on the democrats saying run amok. this is what happens when you allow liberals to take the reins. >> bob: you are all on medical marijuana. >> kimberly: we are not. >> bob:ed 90% of the attacks of the republicans are directed at obama. a little bitf each other but for the most part -- romney -- >> eric: you are upset because medical marijuana, you're on something stronger than that. >> bob: i've always been on something stronger. >> eric: it's themselves, the left taking shots. >> andrea: we have discussed this every day at the table. who has gone on the air and done an ad to attack obama. romney. >> bob: perry. >> andrea: no

romney is going to be a formidable candidate against obama and obama fields -- feels that already which is why he's declared class warfare and it's absolutely true and it may be his only option because if you look at the polls, the intensity polls that show the enthusiasm of the voters heading into 2012, republicans are off the map compared to democrats so all obama can do to get his base animate side to declare war on the privileged. chris: the republicans can't wait to get rid of obama, right? >> that's right, they cannot wait. democrats are so disappointed, and at this point, they're a little reluctant to get behind him but that's why he's saying, now, he's taking a big chance. >> but it can't be frontal class warfare. chris: it is, though. >> it's got to to be the growthe want is the growth we can all share because barack obama himself is not the embodiment of the populist, you know. he's thoughtful, he's kind of -- he's just not. chris: he's a little better than that, maybe. what's happening with the jobs thing? he's on the road every day, you turn on the tube, obama's out some tal

according to politico, president obama's worst critic is actually obama himself. wow. how refreshing. so counting obama, that's exactly one critic of the president in the mainstream media. the website points out that obama's self-critiques began early in his term, a notable departure from his predecessor, george w. bush. so true. bush had no had interest in himself, but for obama thinking about obama is a full-time job. then adds, obama supporters see the public self doubt as proof of the president's honesty. even when the president admits he's imperfect, that makes him more perfect. it's like when you're asked to name your biggest fault in a job interview and you say sometimes i care too much or people say i'm a perfectionist, or i can only squat thrust 400 pounds. i said that when i interviewed at jam jamba juice. still didn't get the job. obama says shovel ready was not as shovel ready as we expected. you can tell how obama is torturing himself with introspection as he eyes the putts on the 18th green. bob, you have to admit, that was a big, slobbery kiss for obama,

romney versus obama? >> when what i think right now running in new hampshire in the middle of the campaign against other republicans is very smart. structurally it says, look, i'm not doing a positive ad, a perry ad, here i am. here is what i believe. he doesn't need to do that you know me, i have been around the block. and, also, he is not doing an ad about anybody in the field running against him right now. i'm presidential. i'm on top. i deal only with the president himself with obama toe to toe. it shows disdain for the others who have been nipping at his leg one at a time in sequence. in the end it's been stewardship. it's about competence. it's about running the economy. that's his strong suit. that's what he is going to run on. we as youd in obama care because he knows on the ideological front that's the one area where obama is extremely weak. you cannot even imagine obama ever mentioning this was his -- which is his signature legislative achievement. he would never even dare to mention it in an ad

it is not obama. is obama the icon? the night before manassas he was the moses the what part the see of government. that is the expectation that has never been at. he just seceded all of that power to harry reid, the congress, and he is perceived consistently is being overly passive, to a consensus seeking. in fact, leaders this decision making. >> that is a great point, and he is the man. i am france. he is the guy at that moment. again, it is a kind of political capital. you know, i had lunch today with bob kavner, a gap here, and he sang, the only a virginity in 80 years. this is more than generational opportunity to alter the basic imbalance or structures in american life. what is interesting is that i think obama, and he talks about i want to be a more dynamic leader at the end of the book, but what he does not take into account which is, i think more right to your points to divvied you're not going to come up with a clear, brilliant, pristine, integrated solution sitting in the policy shop and an unveiling and con

is there a way president obama can reenergize his base? >> he can, but only if the republicans give him the chance to do so. these people have lost faith in him. they like him. i have been watching a bunch of focus groups, reading transcripts and looking at the analyses of the focus groups. these people like him but they are terribly disappointed in what he has done. he has been terrible in office and his economic policies have hurt more than they have helped. they don't like the affordable care act. they think he's governed from the left when he promised to govern from the center. they are not inclined to vote for him. the question is can the republicans reassure them they are up to the job and give them comfort? it smells and feels like 1979, with people saying jimmy carter is just not up to the job, he's just not qualified to have it. my question is is the republican nominee up to it and can they give me confidence that they will get the job done? >> i'm going to ask you that question in just a second but you have gone out of order. let

they can't defend barack obama. barack obama can't defend his record. they can only go on the attack. and you are seeing it. we talk about it every week and they are showing us every single week. now it's not just barack obama calling the american people lazy, it's the insults from the media. you are out of touch, you are irresponsible, you are not just not at enlightened as barack obama is. you are not as wise. what are you doing on the same stage as this man? that's what they want you to think about. they don't want you to think about the $15 trillion or 9 .1 unemployed or a disastrous economy. they don't want you to go there. they want you to think about how bad the republicans are and you will hear is every single week. >> we've had no many anti-semantic remarks at this occupy wallstreet, anti-americanism, filth, rape, you name it, it's unbelievable. i want you to analyze this next cut talking about burning new york city down and molotov cocktails in macy's with how the media covered the tea party. i want you to analyze this through that prism. >> o

monthsing a obama launched this. and all over the i didn't the 1%ers who represent some of the worst aspects of american culture, they are making fools of themselves but the media, because they are general hi in allegiance with the views of the 1%. but there's no bridge or nexus in anything they are doing with the change. the people who change america work for a living and do not commit crime. these individuals largely do not work for a living and they are committing crimes, including threatening to fire bomb miss -- macy's in new york city. >> molotov cocktail. this seems like the class war rhetoric. >> class and race. you have to combine the two because all this is about is the politics of distraction, keeping everyone in thr place. he's past govern fence. you need a boogeyman for the left. think of the tactics, you have to have an enemy so it has to be 1% or successful americans. but the president finally spoke out. he spoke out through jay carney who said the constitutional rights of the protestors had to be comp

are they most scared of obama? >> can you imagine 22-year-old kid, african-american or white, whatever, a regular 22-year-old, you are telling the kid he's not always going to vote. you have to get out and vote against mitt romney. does that work? >> i don't think it works for that 22-year-old. >> up next, herman cain on libya and bachmann and rick perry's oops. it's the campaign low lights. here they come again. you are watching "hardball" on mnsz.

hispanics voteded 66, 67% obama. having not been a big supporter, in the primaries, they were hillary clinton supporters. will they remain as loyal given they have felt the brunt of this economy? briefly on demographics. hispanics are 0% of the population. we project by 2050 they will be 29%. that was our projection as of 2008. that's a big, big number. that we're going to redo our population projections next year. i'm guessing our projections will tick down because in the last four years you wouldn't know it from the political debate that's going on, there's been a major decline in hispanic immigration. at the peak recently in 2006, there were about 1 million mexican-americans. and when you're talking about the hispanic population, about 63% are mexican americans. but it is far and away, there are more mexican immigrants -- the united states has more immigrants from mexico than all other countries have for all other countries in the world. it was at about 1 million a year in 2006. it is down by 60%. it is 400,000 a

obama and his record. but democrats during the economy won't look that good next fall say no it's a choice between mr. obama and someone else. >> bret: in world headlines, jordan king abdullah has become the first arab leader to call for syrian president bashar assad to step down. this is amateur video purporting to show the city being shelled today. the european union says it will oppose sanks on more syrians over the government crackdown on dissent. >>> member of former egyptian president hosni mubarak ruling party will be allowed to run in parliamentary elections this month. a court today overturned a ruling barring members of the now dissolved national democratic party running in one province. >> we can show you pictures of japan nuclear power plant crippled in the earthquake and tsunami in march. media were allowed to visit the facility saturday. the destruction caused by the disaster remains severe. >>> over the weekend, republican presidential candidates accused president obama of being too soft on

>> what is president obama's goal. i have been to a lot of g-20 summits and not a lot happens there and a lot of the communicatication and talking about the next summit. but as far as big deals they don't come together in two days. what do you think of their expectation . >> he wants to avoid getting sucked into this. it was an entering exchange with french sarkozy saying we need barack obama's leadership and president obama, i mean in so many words, you guys can handle this. we you know what you are doing. it was a interesting diplomatic dance from the president trying to avoid getting further pulled in. on one hand if it collapses and if you see immediate economic consequences in europe that will be bad for the united states and bad for our economy and political prospects of the president. but on the other hand, he can't come back here and sell help to europe at this point. >> chuck, does this suggest that u.s. influence around the world has been shrinking and is shrinking? >> i don't think so. the european situation

obama care. that's the government takeover health care. governor romney instituted that program in massachusetts, and i think it's highly unlikely to think that he will be the one who will be able to fully repeal obama care as president of the united states. i brought 40,000 americans to washington, d.c. to fight against the implementation of obama care. i have the commitment. and i also wrote the law, the legislation, to repeal obama care. so i have that core of conviction. and i'll see this through. so that we can get back to patient-centered care. and really the real issue is to bring costs down in health care. unfortunately, that's not what obama care brought. >> as you know, the president's senior adviser david plouffe said on this program about mitt romney, he has, quote, no core. do you agree with that? >> well, there's certainly a sharp contrast between myself and governor romney. he has been pro-choice. i am pro-life. he has been for marriage between people of the same sex. i am for marr

the student, barack obama the law professor, barack obama the senator, barack obama the president and barack obama the husband and father. rush knows the truth about barack obama, but he can't make money on that truth. rush is all about the money. rush knows he didn't become the richest man in the history of political media by being reasonable and honest. rush knows what fuels his private jet, his $60 million gulfstream 5 is pure hatred. >> hate, hate, hate, hate. [ oswald ] there's a lot of discussion going on about the development of natural gas, whether it can be done safely and responsibly. at exxonmobil we know the answer is yes. when we design any well, the groundwater's protected by multiple layers of steel and cement. most wells are over a mile and a half deep so there's a tremendous amount of protective rock between the fracking operation and the groundwater. natural gas is critical to our future. at exxonmobil we recognize the challenges and how important it is to do this right. is best absorbed in small continuous amounts. only one calcium supplement does that in one daily

even before obama occupy the white house were people were making analogies between obama and fdr. i think one of the reasons was because both assumed the presidency in the midst of financial crisis. so, the great recession. people say this was the biggest downturn in the american economy since the great depression. when you think of great depression you think of franklin delano roosevelt. >> host: and the new deal. >> guest: and the new deal so what about obama? so i tried to use analogies. i try to compare and contrast. with fdr i came across an interesting thing. here's the president, 1930s, 1940s. i point out for much of franklin delano roosevelt's presidency, for much of his presidency he was never questioned by a black journalist. because for most of the times of franklin delano roosevelt was president, there was a rule that allowed only journalists from daily newspapers to question him. now, the white house made exceptions for certain journalists but not for black journalist. i talk about in the book how it was that black journalist finally got to question the president. wha
