Court. not in president obamas court. president obama hasnt stopped any of this stuff, but you have. and i question your leadership at a very crucial time, and your timing for this is horrible. heres a time in a country -- in this country where liberals are frustrated. liberals didnt get enough, and here you are saying, well, you know, president obama, i mean, hes a peacemaker. i wish hed just be more confrontational. wish hed be more forceful. were saying that about you, harry. we wish you woul...

A new clean energy policy, and hes called them out on trying to privatize medicare and partially privatize social security, so the president is very clearly laying out the choices american voters are going to be making in this next election, and making it very clear that if you vote for the republicans, youre going to get the same old economic agenda that got us into this mess, so i would say that the president is clearly painting the lines, the battle lines in this campaign going forward and ma...

Who is standing in the way. they need to do a lot more by way of filibuster to -- to make it clear to the american people that the republicans are blocking progress on all these important issues, to jobs and the economy. >> congressman, good to have you with us tonight. >> good to be with you. >> appreciate your time. lets go to radio talk show host bill press, former democratic party chairman in california. all right, bill. lets have at it. harry reid has the power to change the rules in the se...

You have the obstructionists in the party of no actually planting the seed of doubt in the minds of a lot of americans, and with one move in the senate you could bring so much change to this country because there are a majority of democrats that want to do jobs, that want to do immigration reform, that might even want to go back and get the public option, that want to do a lot of other things, so is harry just doing the old duck and cover with his base there in nevada saying, hey, you know, ive ...

If residents encounter one of these situations, well, they will just have to report it online. for more let me bring in hubert williams, the president of the police foundation. mr. williams, good to have you with us tonight. its all about the money. colorado springs is a conservative community. oakland is a liberal community, for the most part. youve got a $32.5 million shortfall in the city of oakland. its all about the money, but the people are going to suffer here. whats the remedy for this, ...

plus, democrats are set to pass financial reform later this week after wing over three republican senators that. gives them 60 votes. would this prevent really another financial crisis like we had at the end of 2008? its one thing for republicans to protect the house taker in november. its another thing when its the white house press secretary who says it could happen. our strategists will break down how each party could use robert gibbs remarks to his advantage. plus the naacp versu...

Political show that rachel maddow does. now, look, msnbc and nbc were great to me. they offered me fill-in time on the "today show." they offered me an hour on msnbc during the day. and ultimately, they let me do this, which is great. >> but when you say that, you know, look, shes doing a great job, clearly shes a great talent. >> yeah. >> when you say the direction msnbcs going, were talking about going in a liberal direction. since then ed schultz, now lawrence odonnell. yours was not an ideol...

democrats is there any way this helps president obama? plus rachel maddow is in afghanistan. my question to her, do we have a good chance of building an afghanistan that will repel al qaeda also, is president obama acting like a one-term president in order to do what he thinks is best for the country long-term? if so, will that strategy cost him the white house? 2012? plus, a candidate for governor says you cant expect people to take his state seriously when its legislature is passing ...

And i somewhat disagree with the outlook of governor kaine of what hes saying and the state of the country. i think people are furious right now, and i dont think that they feel good about the economy. now whether the job -- whether the job numbers are what they are, i mean. the gut instinct is, you know, people are saying whats happening here? now, how do you turn that around? >> well, what you cant do, ed, you is cant buy into the deficit hawks. weve got to pull back on everything. we cant -- ...

Seems like many members of congress, the republicans you just talked about, are more concerned about their next election than their constituents next week, how they will get through the next week. and so i think its a shame, and its -- you know, when youve got some 14.6 million people unemployed and half of them, ed, have been unemployed for approximately nine months and this is the highest level of jobless opportunity that we have, this is the first time, ed, that weve ever been in this kind of...
