obama is a radical. we played that game four years ago it didn't get republicans elected. we played the game trying to tie president obama to bill ayers, reverend wright and saul alinsky. it didn't work last time. >> now with president obama being so devoted to big government, so devoted to income redistribution, income equality, then, see back then we didn't know what we were getting with the president. it was harder to make the case he was a radical or admired radicals. now it's easier to make that case. >> i disagree he is married to this idea. i believe the republicans have misstated that he wants equal outcomes. the president, the stimulus package you went through the numbers before, 40% of that were tax cuts. part of the reason the deficit has gone up that much 40% of the package republicans say they want. tax credits and tax cuts. this isn't big government. this is actually giving tax money back. that's 40% of what the president did in the stimulus package. >> bill: even president obama would admi

we have five trillion dollars of obama debt, new deficit debt, new debt from obama, more debt recession. >> three years and didn't fix it. >> sean: he called george bush unpatriotic and unpatriotic for accumulating $4 trillion in eight years. bill cunningham sewed this program mr. springer that barack obama who got you in trouble was unpatriotic and irresponsible, you would say? >> he is a great president and god bless him. i'm looking forward to the next four years when he is president again. having said that, obviously we are in a recession. obviously, we're in difficult economic times. ideally, it would be great if every american could have a job in the private secretary for, that would be perfect. in a capitalist system which we all three love and benefited very much from, in a capitalist system, every business tries to employ as few people as possible lowest benefits as possible. knowing that the government has to step in when people are unemployed. >> sean: bill, if we took the $5 trillion and he distributed it to the bottom 50% of how holds in america, tens of thousands of dollar

military more lean and mean critics charge this new mission is no different from the one obama inherited from the bush era the u.s. will remain the world's policeman. and. to cross-talk washington's new military strategy i'm joined by matthew rothschild in madison he is the editor of the progressive magazine in los angeles we have christian whiten he is a principal with d.c. international advisory and a former state department senior adviser and in london we crossed to frank jackson he is vice president of uniting for peace all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want but first let's see what mr obama has in mind for the pentagon. in light of budgetary mandates passed by congress last year requiring reduction in overall defense spending president barack obama has announced a new strategic initiative for the american military in contrast to his predecessors the president's plans no longer call for the u.s. to be able to fight two conventional wars simultaneously in different parts of the world and his vision for a smaller more nimble military a

so the idea that the idea president obama or the election of president obama would rid the country of these ills that have been in place for a very long time was at best i would say naÏve. >> i want to read a little bit from your book, get you to expand on. candidate obama, a woman complained to obama in iowa about how inner-city kids don't know how to dress for a job. below is obama's response as reported in the "washington post." pull up your pants, obama interjected come as the crowd laugh. poll of europeans. >> universal that's the other part of the obama affect, which is i don't doubt at all that he has great concern for all the young people in this country, especially young black. however, he has tended at times to be, i wouldn't say demeaning, but to fall into line much like bill cosby, to say that young black people have that kind of played by the rules that would allow them to succeed. in this case, he is suggesting that effect because they wear the pants low or sycophants, that makes it a kind of cultural attributes that would suggest that's the reason why in fact they are

obama in november. in a statement, newt gingrich said the speech was more evidence that the president suffers a, quote, food stamp economy to a paycheck economy. he favors food stamp economy to a paycheck economy. mitt romney also zeroed in on an economic argument in an interview with nbc's brian williams. >> unfortunately what he says and what he has done are so dramatically different that you have to be surprised. the biggest difference, of course, he seems to think america is on the right track and things are going well. here in florida as i go around and talk to people, yesterday with eight people out of work or who have lost their homes, 9.9% unemployment here, home values down, foreclosures up, people are very, very concerned. and the idea that we're on the right track is something that is foreign to the people here. >> candidates will be back on the trail in florida today where newt gingrich is drawing large crowds following his win in south carolina. the former house speaker says his campaign ha

in the end it is going to be a referendum on barack obama. did he fulfill the promises that he made to the american people? did he live uh up to the standards that barack obama set for himself on employment, jobs, the debt, the deficit? the answer to all of those questions is, no it has been a miserable failure and that is going to be what this election is about, and i think that as a referendum on this president and where we are in this country he loses every day of the week and twice on sunday. >> you saw sarah palin's facebook posting where she says this is not gingrich versus romney, it is the republican establishment versus the tea party. is that how you see it? >> i don't -- i don't see it that way, but i do think that she taps into a good point, which is that people are angry. they are angry with washington, they are angry in many ways with both parties, and that we know we have to get serious about our debt and our deficits in this country, and, you know, when paul ryan and the republicans come out with an entitlement reform package t

obama gave us radical obama care that was based on romney care. obama's a liberal on social issues. romney once bragged he's even more liberal than ted kennedy on social issues. why would we ever vote for someone who's just like obama when we unite around rick santorum and beat obama. >> i'm rick santorum and i approved this message. >> e.j., i can't think of anything easier than writing anti-romney ads for conservative audiences. but romney is still standing and growing. how is this happening? >> i with wish i could imitate that voice in the ad. it's awesome. you know, i think the problem is, they all had to do all of this a lot earlier. and what you had in iowa was a kind of spontaneous unity among conservatives where they were watching this campaign, that relatively small number of people who vote in the caucuses pay a lot of attention to politics and around the middle of december, they decided that all these other conservatives had been discredited for one reason or another and started rallying to santorum. i think he is the logical guy, the only guy who can probably beat romney

obama makes recess points when congress isn't in recess. what would senator obama think about that? welcome to the journal, editorial report. i'm paul gigo it: one candidate lighter after michele bachmann's departure. the g.o.p. pac blanketed the state. and rick santorum hoping to capitalize on his iowa motor tumult and newt gingrich hoping for a comeback and mitt romney, the double digit lead in the polls there. joining the panel. this week, diary editor, jason riley, assistant editorial page editor, james freeman and dorothy rabinowitz and washington columnist, kim strassel. so, james, is rick santorum the most serious threat so far to mitt romney or not? >> he's a major threat. i think that santorum could win this thing and it hits romney's vulnerabilities. obviously we saw in iowa speaking to the values voters that santorum has the edge there and quickly pivoted to the economy and what you find is a better spending reform plan and better tax cutting plan than mr. romney and as we go to republican primaries and caucuses, that usually does well. >> kim, what about san form's weakn

between bush's policies and obama's. push bush's policy was to kill people. whatever. put them one time. for them information. to kill. kill him all over the world. one another is the targeting drone killing of anwar joachim an american born cleric u.s. drone strikes during obama's first two years in office exceeded the total carried out during bush's tenure president obama described a walky as the leader of external operations for al qaeda in the arabian peninsula human rights groups which voiced international opposition against the bush counterterrorism policies quickly condemned a walkie killing journalist jeremy scahill says obama's policies have drifted far from his political roots a president mccain doing the exact same thing that president obama is doing would have been done now. by a lot of liberals and so we're at one of those dangerous moments in u.s. history and we saw it a bit with clinton in the ninety's where a democrat who campaigned on a pledge to change the you know the country in the world has actually pushed a right wing agenda further forward than a

obama white house, you heard the book about mrs. obama. >> bill: tell me about who ousted daley? >> i think obama's team led by valerie jarret and said you are not visionary. we need the ship to run. >> bill: are you possible po he was ousted? >> reporter: he wanted to go back to chicago. he didn't like it because he was being undercut at every turn. they were thinking about making him chairman of the campaign. >> bill: so on the record, that daley was ousted but we don't know who is going to take his place. >> jack lew. he a budget guy. he a mechanic. you'll never hear his name. >> bill: i never heard daley's name. i knew he was there. he was announced coming on, did he ever do anything? no. jack lew, whoever that is. >> reporter: this is the time when they are reorienting toward the campaign. it was perfect to get hillary clinton in. they worry it's going to look like desperation. you know this is no drama obama, they don't want that. he is the most popular politician in america. i'm not joking. she is more popular among women than oprah winfrey. >> bill: 65% but how do you see

without michelle obama. the pattern i've always seen in my reporting is that she can-- to other people. and charlie, don't you think we're really going to see that in the 2012 campaign. >> rose: we continue this evening with wade davis, his book is called not silence. the great war, mall ory and the conquest of everests. >> the war became this template of their lives. and it was-- it was in the fiber of their being. and they carry odd i physically to the mountains. >> we conclude this evening with todd buchholz's book is called rush y you need and love the rat race. >> this journey that we're all in as noisy tas s as dangerous, as frustrating is a journey that has extended human life. a hundred years ago you wouldn't have seen there is a rat race a hundred years ago it was simpler. half the population lived on the farm, right. there was-- your cell phone wouldn't interrupt you during dinner, you wouldn't get stuck in traffic. but life expectancy, charlie was 48 years of age. 48 years of age in that simpler n

obama should be. with her reenforcing his instincts for the overall of health care and immigration laws casting herself as a foil to aide sz more intent on preserving seats and poll numbers numbers. should obama be more aggressive, more historically transformational president or do what is more practical, protect his power and get done what he can, why wouldn't they have these discussions? >> exactly. >> seems to be the most normal thing in the world. >> the most normal thing in the world, and i'm reading the book now, i haven't finished it, my feeling is i'm so glad she is there, she has his back, and honestly, i think she has our back. she is representing the higher ideals and the transformational goals and values that this president has, that can sometimes get lost in the day-to-day shuffle of politics. she is also a woman who had her own career who is now being kind of shuffled around and told to do this and that, stand there, that is disconcerting there. >> i only want her here, please sit here.

as the republicans tell it, it is about barack obama. he didn't get to the white house last week, they will tell you, he has been there three years and he has made things worse. the nastiness of this republican primary season is but a preview of what is to come. our system has its flaws, we don't find out much about issues but we do find out a lot about the candidates, their backgrounds, character and how they respond to pressure, good things to know about those seeking the most powerful office in the world, but the best part is, we get to make our choice for whatever reason we choose. whether they ever heard what he said or even know who he was i get the feeling a lot of people will be thinking the way kevin white thought, comparing the candidates, not to the almighty but to the alternative. kevin white was 82. back in a minute. i am mark sanchez with a message for women. this is the actual sound of my heartbeat. >> schieffer: and that's all the time we have today. thanks for watching this special one hour edition of face the nation, an

obama. the next one is -- it's anthony weiner, 227 goes to herman cain. >> bill: compilation of obama is a democrat and then they added up all the republicans and it was three to one. surely you know, linda. >> 600 people running for president. there is a lot of people to poke fun at. >> bill: someone watching television 18 hours a day as you are forced to do by "the new york post." compare george w. bush and the treatment he received from the comedians to barack obama. there is not even the same ballpark. >> wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. when there is so many republicans running. >> bill: no, just bush against obama. >> okay, bush against obama. no, i disagree. bush was a target. obama is a target. anyone is a target who is in the cat bird seat. >> bill: you think this year, 2012, all right, that barack obama is going to get mocked at the same level that whoever runs against him -- >> -- absolutely. i promise. >> bill: do you want to bet me on that? >> dinner. it will happen.

you will. >> i'm voting for democrats. >> democrats. >> obama, all the way. >> obama. >> obama. i'm afraid this would happen. it's breaking my heart. >> obama. >> don't go breaking my heart. >> obama. >> obama. >> see, this is what i -- anybody here voting republican this year? we got one. we got a live one here. who you voting for? >> mitt romney. >> why? what's your reasons? >> i like his policies. >> how would you describe yourself? right of center, right wing, far right, somewhere near the middle, moderate? >> moderate. >> is mitt romney a moderate? >> tends to be, somewhat. >> is he willing to admit it? >> maybe, i hope. >> how come the other day when i asked if he could say, let them eat cake, i said, can you say that in french, governor, he said, yes, but i won't. why do you think he's afraid to speak french in understand. >> probably because he knows we won't understand what he's saying. >> why won't mitt romney speak french? >> because he doesn't want to speak too french. >> but if he doesn't speak french, does that means he's eli elitist? >> he thinks so. >> so he's sp

it's not at all certain that that is going to be for obama. generally, this is what they call the angry white male vote to split off and went with reagan. >> eric: didn't you say the union vote is not certain it will go to obama? >> bob: not by the large overwhelming percentage. >> andrea: you think it depends on nominee, though? right? aren't they anticipating, democrats mitt romney won't get the reagan democrats? that if it were someone different, would he change -- >> bob: i'm not sure about that. i'm saying before you jump on me here, this day i would like to talk about the fact there were fewer people asking for unemployment insurance, biggest drop in six years. 1.6 million jobs created last year. 55,000 in the manufacturerring which is more than happened in other years, including the bush years in one year. i think a lot of good economic news. >> eric: 1.7 million jobs to go to get back to break-even. >> bob: that is right. 1.7 million after the first three months after he came in office. >> dana: i think it was a bad decision from a nat

obama how she liked living in the white house. mrs. obama reportedly replied, "don't ask. it's hell. i can't stand it." both mrs. obama and mrs. bruni deny the first lady ever made the comment. mrs. obama does not like the depiction. >> i guess it's more interesting to imagine this conflicted situation here, a strong woman and -- you know, but that's been an image that people have tried to paint of me since the day barack announced, that i'm some angry black woman. who can write about how i feel? who? what third person can tell me how i feel? >> question, is it normal, or abnormal, for there to be friction between the president's west wing staff and the first lady and her east wing staff? michelle. >> i have absolutely no idea, but what i will tell you, personal opinion, this first couple clearly this is a woman who loves her husband, she's fiercely protective of the presidency of her husband, of their children of her image. i would suspect there would be some friction between the east wing and the west wing, if people are not doing their jobs. >> look, mrs. reagan, quite

and barack obama says no. well, if that person, human life is not a person, then i find it almost remarkable for a black man to say no, we're going to decide who are people and who are not people. >> reporter: santorum received significant attention when he gave a quote to the associated press in 2003 about the supreme court and homosexuality. if the supreme court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, to incest, you have the right to adultery, you have the right to anything. does that undermine the fabric of our society? i would argue yes, it does. and he continued, in every society the definition of marriage had never to my knowledge included homosexuality. it's not to pick on homosexuality. it's not man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. santorum said he wasn't equating homosexuality with all the other activities. but was trying to make a larger point about morality. >> i think basically christian teaching on the subject, that one

but barack obama. >> sean: let me ask this. speaking of barack obama. the campaign has been aggressive. an argument can be made maybe it's making some people uncomfortable. end up being a good process because it will be billion dollars that will be waged against you. it will be a billion dollars against the republicans. you want dirty air and dirty water and kids and autism and elderly defending themselves. that is what they said already. i guess, if you get the nomination are you willing to go against president obama. bill ayers fair game. is it just the economy or foreign policy or some of his background that was ignored in 2008 is that legitimate? >> i think anything that is truthful about a is legitimate to discuss in a campaign. there is no question, president obama has a lot of explaining to do. he has failed the american people. he didn't turn the economy around. he didn't get us more safe from iran. he has failed. i will point that out day in and day out. i'm afraid president obama will do what he's been doing is dissenting from the truth and i

but you see here is what obama did on the actual day that he signed it after backing off of the veto threat then he went forward and decided to insert into the signing a signing statement a promise a promise that isn't ministration won't allow this to apply to american citizens without trial first so what happened out there in the media world well people just started rejoicing obama defenders started blogging tweeting saying see obama does said that it doesn't apply to american citizens so it's all ok now i don't even know where to start in terms of what a foolish response that is all around but let's just make a few things very clear here no matter what obama does or doesn't do the indefinite military military detention including of american citizens well that part is already enshrined into law he signed the damn bill so even if his administration chooses not to interpret it in that way well then guess what that doesn't stop any future presidents from using it in the exact language that was written it so thanks a lot obama you might promise to be the good guy in this scenario but yo

relentlessly attack president obama. the "washington post" reports republican operatives have compiled a video library of everything the president has said. they plan to use his own words against him, with particular emphasis on the quote from in february 2009 where president obama talks about fixing the economy. >> if i don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition. >> today in des moines, iowa, well, it appeared mitt romney has already gotten onboard with the republican playbook. >> i've looked at some of the tapes on youtube of president obama, then-candidate obama going across iowa campaigning. and i've listened to some of the promises and i've looked at the performance. and there's a pretty big gap between what he promised and what he performed. this president's failed. he went on the "today" show shortly after being inaugurated and he said, if i can't get this economy turned around in three years, i'll be looking at a one-term proposition. i'm here to collect. >> if romney wan

obama won it last night. florida which votes fourth on the republican side, viewed as one of the states. most republicans think they'll get indiana back. virginia and north carolina, two states obama carried that were long republican states, they'll be in tossup territory this year. so will colorado. nevada has the highest unemployment in the country. let's put that in that category. that leaves president obama at 247. republicans would argue pennsylvania is a tossup, too. maybe wisconsin, possibly michigan. let's just play it conservative here. this leaves obama short of what he needs to win re-election. what if the republicans take colorado. suppose the republicans take florida. let's give for the sake of argument the republicans ohio, tough, tough. let's see what happens. let's say new hampshire goes republican. that's possible, if mitt romney's the nominee. what do you get here? let's flip a coin. i'll give obama virginia and the republicans north carolina. what do we have now? 260 to 266. look at that. h

into in bush's policies and obama's. push bush's policy was to kidnap people. whatever. put them one time. or some other. for some information. to kill. killing them all over the world. another is the targeting drone killing of anwar locky an american born cleric u.s. drone strikes during obama's first two years in office exceeded the total carried out during bush's tenure president obama described the walking as the leader of external operations for al qaeda in the arabian peninsula human rights groups which voiced international opposition against bush counterterrorism policies quickly condemned the killing journalist jeremy scahill says obama's policies have drifted far from his political roots a president mccain doing the exact same thing that president obama is doing would have been denounced by a lot of liberals and so we're at one of those dangerous moments in u.s. history and we saw it a bit with clinton in the ninety's where a democrat who campaigned on a pledge to change you know the country in the world has actually pushed a right wing agenda further forward th

. >> comparisons with obama. you know, i covered him for about a year before we got to the iowa caucus. those big speeches that's when people say who is this guy, rehearsing a stump speech and doing it badly is no way to introduce yourself to a whole new bunch of voters who are tuning. in -- -- why they wanted to quote verses written by someone else, i don't understand what he was trying to express there. for someone who has said economy, economy, economy, i'm the guy who can fix the economy, to go in on a -- run on sanctions, never mind there have been sanctions against iran, but -- >> you know, speaking about the economy, i think the real winner here was obama because the economic numbers are actually ticking up. i think romney is going to be the nominee. i think when the squareoff begins between obama and romney, it will be about jobs numbers and those are ticking up and that's going to work in obama's favor. >> and what the vision for the country is. and the reason why iowa is important is for two reasons. on

obama. we're actually waiting to hear from him and what he's calling a prebuttal to the president's state of the union address. and rick santorum campaigning in stuart, florida, this hour. florida primary just seven days away. >>> republican candidates are facing off for more -- one more debate rather ahead of tuesday's florida primary. the latest matchup in tampa last night, mitt romney hammered, hammered away at newt gingrich, and his record of leadership. gingrich shot back, accusing romney of lying. here's a taste. >> in the 15 years after he left the speakership, the speaker has been working as an influence peddler in washington and during those 15 years, i helped turn around the olympics, helped begin a very successful turn around in the state of massachusetts. >> he just said four things that are false. i don't want to waste the time on them. i think the american public deserve a discussion about how to beat barack obama, the american public deserves a discussion about what we would d

i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so silly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.

friends of obama, g.m. workers, we give you 17 percent of the company. >> if i could try to not get anyone angry, i am not sure the auto industry would not have been able to save itself. they were under tremendous pressure, with amazing competition all around the world and they tried things that did not work and they were under debt for the pension thing so there is a question, should we have done it or not? it doesn't matter because it was done, what do you do going forward? when you do it again? remember, i remember before when they first bailed out g.m. they blamed that on the public administration and now they take credit for it. so, back to another point, and if romney's experience is not politic average, and, it is not good enough, what was president obama's experience on the economy leading up to his president? >> wait a second. you are right. we did know they are there now because of what obama did. in the polls, as i understand it, obama is now trailing romney; that right? >> by five or since point

she's author of "the obamas" which is about the obamas. we do have a big show for you tonight. you're probably wondering why i'm wearing a bejeweled crown. long story short. i came into a little bit of money. ( apause ) on thursday.... >> colbert has just announced he will explore running for president. and stewart will oversee his political action committee. ( cheers and applause ) >> jon: it's not about the money, money, money. except it really is. i'm now running colbert's super pac and the vast fortune that that entails but here's the problem. i don't know what to do with the money, and stephen colbert by law cannot coordinate with me. >> i can't tell americans for a better tomorrow tomorrow what to do. it's not my super pac, george. it's the super pac of-- i hope i'm pronouncing this correctly-- jon stew-air. i believe it's a soft-t. >> jon: funny jokement it's sully sew-air. both ts are silent. because of the strict separation of super pac and candidate and the fact that i don't speak to stephen colbert except by phone or in person, i'm just out here like a cartoon hobo w

is different from obama. obama is failing. this isn't a win for obama. this is a big loss for obama. a win is if it's over. >> bob: wait a minute. look, if by the outside chance i'm right and mitt romney may get the nomination, it is true that there is a base of the republican party who do not like the guy or admire him. but they don't like barack obama in a big way. the question is, is that enough enthusiasm against somebody to overtake what will be the lack of enthusiasm over the candidate? i think there is two or three margin difference in that and that hurts and got help obama. >> andrea: i think the enthusiasm is with the republicans. i think they despise obama so much and that the economy is not going to improve where it needs to be. get where it needs to be that the swing voters and the independents that voted for him for hope and change are going to be so disgusted. >> bob: one indicator we have about the enthusiasm base of the republican party they turned out 3,000 fewer votes in 2012 than in 2008. iowa caucuses. people were predicting "a," a lo
