or not. we re going to bring in our political panel right now to weigh in on this as we await president obama to take that podium. let s bring in tammy bruce now radio talk show host and fox news contributor. and mary ann marsh, former senior advisor to former senator john kerry and democratic strategist. before we talk about hillary clinton and how hillary clinton might respond and how she s going to align herself or not with the president on this tammy, let me get your thoughts about this historic meeting between raul castro and president obama. look, it s extraordinary. he s snug ling up to another tie ranting. you speak to the cowboyuban community and they realize this is a regime that executed most of the intellectual class in order to maintain control. they took possession of all property, any element anyone owned on that nation. nobody owns anything now. the people that fled that nation for this one lost everything.
investigators are trying to figure out a cause in philadelphia and they now say it was a gas leak to blame for a house explosion that injured eight people including a baby yesterday. the city officials are saying it happened when a contractor was working on a water heater in the basement of that house and he remains in the hospital with critical injuries. bill: to the president taking another swing today at what he calls income inequality in america which he says is morally wrong and he will argue government has a responsibility to fix that. this growing inequality, not just of results, inequality of opportunity. this growing inequality, it is not just morally wrong, it is bad economics. bill: all right, mary ann marsh, former advisor to john kerry and mary catherine ham, editor-at-large, hot air dot-com. ladies good morning to you. i want to debate the morally wrong. brit hume, his take on how you create wealth in america. republicans tend to worry about the health of the goose.
service and mary ann marsh, former advisor to senator john kerry. welcome to you both. that is phrase i never thought i would hear? it is perfect right now, the romney campaign wouldn t be attacking big bird and romnesia if they weren t worried about it. it represents exactly what the men need to work for the white house, women voters and trust. women voting for you more people trusting you more likely you are to win. women got the idea that mitt romney is happy to cut subsidies to big bird but not big oil making record profits. romnesia is the way to talk about the fact that mitt romney changed his position and will change anything to win this office. hard to trust someone like that. i think at this time e it makes a lot of sense. martha: so one of the problems though, tony, the other side says, is that what it shows, is that the president is not talking about his own vision. he is reacting. he is reactive. he is talking about things that mitt romney changed his mind about. talk
reality of islamic extremism. why is it always the west s fault? why is it always somebody in america s fault? why is he always apologizing for islamic extremists? you have a president of the united states who is commander-in-chief, will not be honest with himself about the problem of radical islam, will not be honest with the world about it. martha: very heavy charge from newt gingrich. let s bring in former south carolina mark sanford, fox news contributor, mary ann marsh, former advisor to john kerry. powerful stuff, mary ann. what is your reaction to that? newt gingrich is wrong. the fact is 48 hours after the attack in benghazi president obama called this an attack of terror in the white house, in the rose garden on september 12th and september 13th in colorado said the exact same thing. mitt romney however never called this an attack of terror until september 25th.
that situation were reverse add short time later and they did run the tape. joining us from boston, democratic strategist mary ann marsh and from los angeles, fox news analyst, lesley. freedman from the new york times on this program yesterday and i asked this question. it s a simple question cause as you know, lesley, i am a simple man. yes. mr. freed, what country can you point that that practices income redistribution on a large scale, that is powerful and successful in the world today? he didn t have one. is that my question? yeah, because you re smarter than freedman. so i m asking you the same question. mr. freedman didn t have one. do you? i do actually. 2005 countries. i would say that i know that you re going to argue with me about this, i would say the united kingdom and france and germany would be a better example. germany, number one, doesn t practice income redistribution, neither does switzerland.
