The idea that we would say this is terrible, this is a tragedy, never again, and we dont have the sustained attention span to be able to get this done over the next several months doesnt make sense. i have more confidence in the american people than that. i have more confidence in the parents, the mothers and fathers that ive been meeting over the last several days all across the country, from all political persuasions, including a lot of gun owners who say, you know what, this time weve got to ...

Its time for some change, some self-reflection and all that is happening over there. when i go there, theres no head hanging of oh, my gosh weve slipped back. its a land of opportunity. its like okay, what do we need to do now. so to come in at that moment when everyone is thinking that way is really cool. >> thats perfect for you. ive got to think, though, when you talk about it being an iconic brand, so is your father, albeit for another network with cbs. but your father must be so proud of yo...

Both sides of the aisle. it hasnt always manifested itself in the kind of agreements that it would like to see. i dont exempt myself from need to go do some self-reflection and see if i can improve our working relationship. there will be some sharp differences. there will be times when there are fights and i think those are fights that need to be had. what the american people dont want to see is a focus on the next election instead of a focus on them. michelle and i were talking about what an in...

Thumbs, and karl is almost all thumb. >> as the republican party undergoes a period of self-reflection to better understand its defeat at the presidential polls last week, one man appears to be taking the most heat. not mitt romney and not paul ryan, but karl rove. mr. rove took mornd $300 million from conservative donors on a promise that he would deliver mitt romney to the white house. sadly for mr. rove and painfully for his donors, it didnt quite work out. joining us now is rick tyler, who i...

Strings and he still isnt able to do it. give moder mitt romney a chanceo do it. >> eric: ill hold yours for last. what grade do you give him? >> dana: i dont play this. im so tired of this. i remember every reporter, the laziest, easiest question, what grade would you give yourself? in life, you dont get a chance to grade yourself. maybe a little self-reflection is good but you get graded on your performance by other people. in 2009, president obama answered that question by saying i give mysel...

Shocked there is gambling in a casino. when you have a guy in press -- why are you laughing at me? >> greg: i dont know. >> dana: i saw, you are laughing uncontrol establishment >> greg: you worried that maybe viewers thought it was real. >> dana: i dont want to people to think president obama was holding up -- i blame the producers. seriously, not a joke. when you have reporters, do self-reflection and looking back, do you take it seriously? >> greg: you said, "may have given a pass." it wasnt ...

Smarter than you and explain it. i think its a very fair self-reflection actually. >> well i -- i can tell you, though, i can -- i think we can all look at what weve done over the past 24 hours and think of some pretty big mistakes. think of some substantial mistakes. in this case, you have barack obama who decided to go after [ inaudible ] health care reform, while millions and millions of americans were out of work and the economy wasnt turning around. i think thats a pretty -- i think -- i wo...

americas longest running war after a trip to afghanistan by president obama. the unannounced visit to kabul was full of secrecy and symbolism, be but not very many specifics. a tough reminder that theres a long way to go in that country. suicide car bomber and taliban militants disguised attacked a housing compound. nick paton walsh is live with us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it appears the suicide bomber drove a car full of explosives into whats known as the green villag...

Joke about a one-legged veteran or is there something im missing here? >> no. you would think after the period of self-reflection that woultd come at the end of a presidency he might to able to take things differently. he always had an inappropriate sense of humor. we heard paul ryan call the president pech lantulant. the seriousness of occasion escaped him not necessarily when he was doing his visits to hospitals, of course, but to make light of something like the war in iraq and its terrible l...

Joke about a one-legged veteran. or was there something im missing here? >> no, you would think that after the period of self-reflection that would come at the end of a presidency, he might be able to take things differently. but thats who he is. he was always this cut up, he always had an inappropriate sense of humor, and it was, you know, we heard paul ryan call the president petulant, the current president petulant, but there was always a childlike sense of humor about president bush. and the...
