April 26th, 2004, perry, georgia. officer chris sutcliffe is in his patrol car overlooking the interstate when he notices a pickup truck making a sharp turn off the exit, going way too fast. seconds later, he sees another police car going after it, sirens blaring. officer sutcliffe doesnt think twice. he makes a quick but fateful decision to follow the speeding police car and join the pursuit. >> i initially just told my dispatcher, im going to be here for backup in case he needs it. >> the chas...

Warranted? i had a different take. i thought the speech was fine. i didnt like it as much as the one he gave in kansas last year that was more of a barn-burner, like very energetic, but he laid out the historical perspective of whats happened the last decade and sought to tie mitt romney and his proposal os to the failed policies of the past. i think he did it in a compelling and effective way. if we are still taking 50 minutes to describe economic policy and talking about the historical perspec...

>> probably. because everybody squawks when they dont get their way, right? but the fact of the matter this is prosecutorial discretion. it is well within the right of the executive to take this action. and so, you know, from that perspective, i think hes on firm footing. and from the political perspective, i think susan makes the right point. if it does come down to swing states, if it is a very close election as many people expect it to, this really could be important. mitt romney was forced t...

That hasnt happened in a long time. >> kimberly: that is why obama should be concerned about this. if you think about the tens of millions of dollars put in invested to defeat walker, it was a resounding victory an affirmation for what walker was trying to do. we see other cities and state trying to follow suit. which is significant and a problem with the job numbers for obama in november. >> greg: the fact is walker was elected. he did what he was supposed to do. he got rid of the high-speed tr...

Week. >> eric: quick shout out to a 12-year-old the biggest "the five" fan on the planet? watching right now from the beach. perry loves the show. even loves bob, believe it or not. hello. >> andrea: i mentioned before i didnt really do road trips because i was always working in the restaurant every summer. so that was my summer. between my house and the -- >> bob: the bus boys. >> andrea: bob. >> bob: the kitchen. >> andrea: what about you? >> greg: i had a great job before i went to college. i...

Overwhelmingly been won by president obama. but even so, youre seeing mitt romney make an appeal to those voters. he gave a speech at a college in ohio last month. he is definitely trying to make the case to those voters when it comes to the economy and their future and the fact that half of those young people who are graduating college right now are not able to find a job, those are areas where president obama has failed. i think thats definitely a case that he is doing well and making. but, ag...

Different interpretation of the election. eharmony versus monster.com. >> thats an interest analogy. perry, new ad put out today by the obama campaign, running in florida. take a quick look. >> to you and your loved ones, medicare is personal. and to a president raised by his grandparents, its personal, too. and starts with protecting your medicare from health care scam artist who is prey on seniors. >> you look at an ad like that and you have to think youre going to see it over and over again i...

You can react to the ad and what you just heard. do you think that is going to have a tremendous impact on this election in may? >> you can see republicans want to make the conversation about now. what do you feel your economic conditions are now, do you feel theyre going to improve? there are numbers that indicate this is a significant issue and one that doesnt necessarily break positively for the president. one other quick point. one of mitt romneys top advisers tells his campaign staff in bos...

Obamas birth certificate is being raised again. ken bennett has sparked controversy by asking the state of hawaii to confirm the presidents birth certificate exists. hes not gotten proof and says that he might keep the president off the arizona ballot. well, heres what arizona senator john mccain and governor jan brewer had to say about it. >> ive had the opportunity to speak with the prior governor. and she indicated to me with all due process and trustworthiness that she had seen the birth cer...

Because this is another aspect of the gop base that he is being pressured by democrats to come out and repudiate. hes kept his distance so far from this. as we saw with the reverend wright prospective ad that was going to be coming out this week, that was something that he eventually felt he needed to put his foot down. this is something hes still keeping at arms length. but it does not put the gop in a good light when looking at things nationally. >> this is interesting, perry, that newt gingri...
