It doesnt mean health care -- >> on the road does not indicate -- >> as im saying, the near-term perceptions are very difficult, particularly among whites. in many ways the bill has backfired. for 25 years democrats have pursued health care reform on the hope they could influence the white middle class. on the other hand, as im saying, there is an economic constituency for this law being built in a way thats going to make it harder and harder to repeal. the republicans face the risk by 2016 with...

Day. and its pretty remarkable to me how these historical perceptions of the presidency, how it changes as time passes. the way we talk about lbj, and george h.w. bush today, was not the way they were talked about when they were sitting in that office. looking 25 or 50 years from today, will we be talking about president obama in a totally different light? >> past is prologue, and we certainly will be. if you look at all presidents in the polling era, they all do better, sort of out of sight, ou...

People react to crime and as well as his subjective paranoias and fears will factor into whether or not this judge decides it was premeditated murder or something to a lesser degree. >> you mentioned that surrounding context of crime in this community and in this country, south africa does have a tremendous rate of violent crime, really big struggle in this particular neighborhood where he even lived. how big a part of this story is the surrounding context of growing up in such a violent country...

Public is hanging on these job numbers. i think the american public hangs on things like the results of dancing with the stars or the final four. as much as i would love if they did because it would be great for people like annie and myself and you, i think that they dont hang on every jot and tittle of political and economic news that comes out. i think what typically happens theres a perception. things are getting better, things are staying the same, things are getting worse. three or four str...

Yesterday in the mass shooting at ft. hood in texas, today, of course, those sentiments take on stronger resonance. joining us now, senior correspondent for the "washington post." thanks very much for being here. its nice to have hyou here. >> its good to be back with you. >> youve done a survey with kaiser and the "washington post" with iraq and afghanistan veterans and its come out in what we didnt know was going to be an incredibly important moment in terms of americas perceptions of veterans...

Hobokens sandy aid unless she supported a private development project are not only unsubstantiated, they are demonstrably false in material respects. mayor zimmers subjective perceptions do not match the objective reality reflected in the hard evidence that we uncovered during our investigation. in fact, they are contradicted by contemporaneous documents, witness accounts, and her own prior statements. >> dawn zimmer fired back after that saying, "randy mastro could have written his report the d...

The rollout and that debacle of the system now working? >> richard, i think it is a good start for the obamacare. whether it turns around perceptions, im not sure yet. theres a long way go. we dont know the final numbers, obviously. today is the deadline. those are on the cue after the administration said theyll let them keep going. well see how many young people are signed up. theres a number of big questions coming. and how the program actually works as people visit their doctors and have the ...

Move there. >> it seems to me that narrative we heard in the fall about the website working, is this just one of those classic examples of good news not getting as much attention? >> it was a lot more exciting and up expected that the website really could not sign up people in october and now that its working i hear all the time just talking to friends and people who arent following obamacare on a daily basis it doesnt work. >> but it seems like things like "between two ferns" have chipped away ...

Look at the text here. "yawning during the middle of commissioner constables statements and then smiling during the end of his statements is hardly the demeanor one would expect of someone who is actually being threatened." this million-dollar report paid for by you, the taxpayers of new jersey, at the request of your governor, thus concludes on the basis of the damning smiling photo that everything that mayor said that might cast dispersions on chris christie or his administration is proven to ...

Of any wrongdoing in allegations that he used hobokens sandy aid as a bargaining chip for a development project. >> we find that mayor zimmers allegations, that members of the christie administration, delivered a message from the governor to her threatening hobokens sandy aid unless she supported a private development project. r not only unsubstantiated they are demonstrably false in material respects. mayor zimmers subjective perceptions do not match the objective reality reflected in the hard ...
