for david axelrod. the history channel is not here. i guess they were embarrassed about the whole obama is a devil thing. of course, that never kept fox news from showing up. they actually thought the comparison was not fair to satan. but the problem is that the media landscape is changing so rapidly. you can't keep up with it. may i remember when buzz feed was just something i did in college around 2:00 a.m. it's true. recently, though, i found a new favorite source for political news. these guys are great. i think everybody here should check it out. they tell it like it is. it's called white house.gov. i cannot get enough of it. fact is, i really do respect the press. i recognize that the press and i have different jobs to do. my job is to be president. your job is to keep me humble. frankly, i think i'm doing my jobber. job better. punishment part obut part of ts everybody is so cynical. feeding conspiracies, suspicion. remember a few months ago my administration put out a paragraph of me going skeet

axelrod, nbc senior political analyst. great to have you here. >> all right, so, you have been reporting on this race, betsy. i want to play how mark sanford responded to the obvious question that one would be asked under these conditions at a debate when asked about his affair. >> how do you reconcile redemption with the mistrust in your personal decision, which could or may have compromised the state and the party? >> what i would say is the events of 2009 absolutely represent a failure on my part for which there were and always will be at some level, consequences, but that does not mean because you've had a failure in your personal life, that you can not step back into life again. people kept calling, kept calling and they said, mark, you need to do this. because here's a chance for you to learn not only from your experience in congress and governorship, but more significantly, from what you learned on the way up and on the way down and apply it to what is arguably one of the great problems of our society. that's what i

. >> david axelrod says mr. obama may have avoided using the word terror monday, because the fact that it was tax day suggest that a homegrown attack. arizona republican senator john mccain feels the president is generally too reluctant to use the word terrorism. >> i always thought it was just utter foolishness not to use the word terrorist when we are talking about attacks that killed innocent civilians. >> by not immediately calling it terror, mr. obama recalled the two week long dispute after the deadly attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi whether it grew out protest of anti-islam film or planned as terrorist attack from the start. and his reference to terrorism less than a day after the boston attack may suggest a lesson learned like benghazi some of the president's aid referred to the boston attack as terrorism before he did. a senior administration official privately called it an act of terror shortly --er mr. obama smoke on spoke on monday. chuck hagel had no doubts. >> any event with multiple explos

speakers include david axelrod, chris christie, paul ryan and l.a. mayor antonio villaraigosa. when a handshake something more? a minor international incident? apparently when you're bill gates. let me know what you think about this. it's up on our facebook page. b- and four-star ratings... before local farmers and employees became secret ingredients... before rock star chefs were playing to packed houses every night... two restaurateurs sat down with our banker and transformed some chicago neighborhoods into culinary meccas. that's the power of connecting a vision into a recipe for success. that's bank of america. still doesn't feel real. our time together was... so short. well, since you had progressive's total loss coverage, we were able to replace your totaled bike with a brand-new one. the tank, the exhaust... well, she looks just like roxy! you know, i'll bet she's in a better place now. i'm sure she is. [ ethereal music plays ] [ motorcycle revving ] getting you back on a brand-new bike. >>> this question in politico sums it up. does anyone want to run for senate in 2014

here is david axelrod this weekend on "meet the press." >> i understand their paranoia, a terribly difficult issue for him, wasn'ts this accomplishment, a legacy item for him no doubt in mind he wants to pass comprehensive immigration reform. >> i would say no april fool's jokes and try and tell me there's no soundbite. victoria, what do you think about that? is this truly based on the idea of paranoia but also the hard fact reality that we are leaving 11 million people in this country hanging in the wind? >> well, there's a practical issue of all of these people who are living in the shadows, but i also think that this is a legacy issue as we have said. marco rubio is being thouflt and coy. he wants people to keep attention, immigration spotlight on him. yes, marco rubio is important to the negotiations of immigration reform but i think immigration reform is more important to marco rubio because he knows he wasn't was to a shot at going forward in 2016, he is going to have to be able to point to something big. >> great to see both sides of the aisle are willing to take up this conversation

david axelrod saying the president was focused on tax day. surely you have to find equal problem with that as well. >> well, i couldn't know if i find equal problem with it. i will say, i can't take any credit or blame for what david wrote or what michael moore said. i think david's bottom line is also my bottom line. the reason your mind might go there is because if it is a white american, whites are not pro filed the way other groups are. we have one of our many privileges is we are just individuals. those are crazy nuts over there. we don't have it answer for them. when it is not a white person, if it were an african-american or latino or in this case they are muslim. so some people decide that's not white. then you do crazy thanks. then you have people saying, we shouldn't allow muslims to immigrate here at all. then there is profiling and prejudice -- >> but with the paranoia and prejudice is also on the left by folks like david sirota. >> i don't see it that way. maybe it would be a different conversation if this person was a white righ

joining me right now, david axelrod, former obama senior adviser. msnb political analyst and republican strategist john feehery. somehow i have a different attitude towards the republicans and the democrats who voted on this thing. i don't know why it is because i'm not always partisan. but i really do have a problem with mitch mcconnell. i would like to see him get stung hard on this one. why do i think like that? because he tends to be an s.o.b. generally? does anybody like that guy? >> you don't like mr. mcconnell but i like him. >> you like mr. mcconnell. >> i don't think this is going to hurt him. >> you're in the minority. >> nobody likes him. >> he's the least popular incumbent running for re-election right now. >> yeah. >> i will say this, chris. his concern right now is not about a general election. it's about a primary. until the primary -- we'll see what happens after. but until primary filing is done, he's looking over his right shoulder. and he doesn't really care about these ads. now, i applaud what they're doing because i think until

yet to the great delight of david axelrod, yours truly and bulls fans everywhere, here he is in practice before yesterday's game against the detroit pistons. rose says he won't return until he's fully ready, but judging by this video, that might be very, very soon. the second awesomist thing on the internet today, an amazingly detailed map. the creator smashed together the transit systems of north american cities into one big crazy interconnected map, linking them geographically impossible ways. boston's red line turns into new york's one train into a fictitious puerto rican submarine to san juan. this is either your hell on earth or straight up infrastructure porn on the latter category. and the third awesomest thing on the internet today, a hash tag that led many fans of human supernova share to suffer a few moments of confusion and panic. the creators of a satirical website called is thatcher dead yet have been anticipating her death for some time. to mark her passing earlier today, they started the #nowthatchersdead. that prompted some twitter users to enter a confused state because
