Pipeline project. last week the state department issued its report, the latest report which did not take a pogonia proval. the latest fox news poll indicates 70% of respondents favor building the pipeline. just 23% as you see disagree. not everyone is convinced president obama has the nations best interest at heart. mitt romney says he thinks the president is still playing politics. the defeated presidential nominee talked with fox news sunday chris wallace. we have a part of the interview you h...

They had the election in their back pocket and thats what they were thinking. the campaign was allowed to get the argument. so thats why they came up with the sequester. boehner wanted a way out without raising taxes. republicans fuelled by the tea party and the gains in mid-terms demanded that they would raise the limit only accompanied by equal spending cuts. after agreeing to the cuts, the obama white house cant agree on how to reduce the deficit to raise the debt limit by that much. thats wh...

Long. the president himself acknowledged that that is true and that he only has about a year to enact what he has, an ambitious agenda, pushing things like tax reform, budget cuts and gun control. >> id like to get as much stuff done as quickly as possible. even though im just starting my second term, i know that, you know, once we get through this year, then people start looking at the mid-terms and after that, they start thinking about presidential elections. >> the president also made his fir...

Correction, i screwed up and im sorry. earlier in the show i said the special election that scott brown won to become senator in massachusetts occurred in 2011 after the 2010 mid terms. duh, wrong, im sorry. scott brown was elected in january 2010, not january 2011, which was right at the end of the health reform fight thing, but before the midterms that year that was just me totally screwing up for absolutely no reason with no excuse. im very sorry. and scott brown, if i upset you personally wi...

Willingness to come somewhere where you can start and move out from the consensus there. >> we talked to him and said we will find common ground. it appears it will largely be driven by electoral realities. is there common ground on gun control? it doesnt seem like it. am i missing something and do republicans need to move forward as a party heading into the mid-terms? >> rhetorically you can hear a lot of the same sentences coming out of their mouths. doesnt mean they support the same policies....

Work and theyre trying to attack back. for the president, the white house and democrats, in general, that offers up a whole range of opportunities that didnt exist before. when the policy was no defectors, no splitting of any votes. no sense of giving the president any sense of bipartisanship. this is healthy for republicans and politics in general. the question is can they resolve it, whether or not it is karl rove or any other group? can they resolve it in the next two years, if they lose in t...

Maybe thats a good thing. weve had a lot of soaring rhetoric from this president in the last four years. not all of it has been followed through. politte t polito-fact said only half has been enacted during this is first term and this is a speech where he said, this is what i want to do and know from the results of the last election, i have the constituency. thats what shifted since the last one democrats feel, maybe not in the mid-terms, they have the constituency on their side. theyre feeling ...

Share in private economies. but supporters say it saved the economy from really tanking and called the bailout a huge success. >> clearing the bailing out of general motors ranks very high. it helped him in ohio and michigan on the campaign trail. >> tim geithner, the key to t.a.r.p., has made the case for tougher regulations on wall street, leading to the todd-frank bill, the president signed into law. >> there will be no more tax-funded bailouts. period. >> years of spending added up and the d...

The mid-terms becomes harder. boehner did a good job. they think he screwed up but id like them to navigate the water. >> andrea: come to the table -- i have give you credit. you have come to the table with real offerings up. the democrats dont have the political appetite to touch the entitlement. the president concedeed nothing? >> up to $400,000. >> bob: can he sell the entitlement cuts to the ku cuss? he couldnt. the boehner had $600,000 and entitlement reform, yes, he could. >> this does not...

Hes been a key sort of leader on that. but, yeah, for the republican party theres a void right now. then again, were four years out. so we cant take too much or the republican party cant look at these numbers as too dire at this point. >> even though we are four years out, i want you all to take a listen to what joe scarborough had to say this morning about the republican party. >> i notice a lot of the people on the far right, not the far, far right, really its almost like they get the memo. yo...
