against the pilot alleged to have gone on a rampage and screamed about a bomb on boar. captain clayton osborn is accused of interfering with the flight crew. listen to this outburst captured bypass jers. oh, my god, imso distraught. we ve got israel. we ve got iraq. lizzie has been pouring over this new affidavit. a lot of details are eyebrow raising. it walks us through what happened in the cockpit and the cabin. what you realize is that pretty quickly, the first officer had a sense something wasn t quite right. i want to read to you a couple parts of the affidavit after cruising cruisi cruising altitude. he yelled over the radio to air traffic control and instructed them to be quiet, turned off the radios and started dimming the mon stores and admonished the first officer for trying to talk. he became worried whether osbon said we need to take a leap of faith. he talks about sins in las vegas. at some point, osbon told the first officer, we are not going to las vegas.
right. and therefore it is positive. it is a positive assessment of the president. and additionally, as you pointed out in this sort of comment about the health care, when i heard that the first time, oh, he understood the problem with waiting, i thought they were going to be talking about the clinton health care plan and how it s bad for the whole country. instead, they went to that personal narrative, the experience of his mother and her battle with cancer and that kind of connection where american voters say, oh, that s right. this isn t some scary bureaucrat. this is personal. this is about my life and about how the president can see what my life is like. dana, the reason why i said to melissa, it seems like they go to these talking points rather than ever addressing the issue. if you re going to address the documentary, why doesn t he say
another says, their messaging is a head-scratcher and yet another says, joe six pack doesn t give a damn about delegate counts. joining me is a political reporter from the washington post who has been covering the republican presidential race. let me ask you, does romney have a convincing answer to why he wants to be president? you know, i don t think he does yet. conservatives certainly don t think he does and some top republicans, a conservative columnist, the gop should essentially give up on mitt romney or whoever the gop nominee would be and focus instead on congress, on swallowing in the house and lead them to victory in november. one of the issues, of course, is he has this nominating fight that has gone on much longer
respond responders. you would think the president, we know he is putting the message out here, why doesn t i take it and really fight for it. the assumption is it s just another piece of legislation that he is putting out there to show he is fighting for the middle class, if that message is resonating like it seems to be, why not make more of a fight around it? the reason that they are talking about it now is because they are going to. listen, everything in this town is done for politics. so you know, when people get ruffled feathers saying it politics everything is about that. what the white house wants to do is put republicans in the difficult position i think throughout this year on capitol hill on having to vote against measures that would be popular to specific segments whether it s hispanics or younger people or veterans.
that is the reason we ought to not have the capital gains tax. they don t get away with paying less andrea: why doesn t president obama reform the tax code? if romney made $1 million last year and andrea: bob: can we get back to the point? the point is he has not released his taxes. he has to release his taxes. the point is wait a minute. we need patrick cox of tax masters to come here. greg: let s be honest. half of america is not filing tax returns so they don t know what a tax return is. we should explain what it is. a thing you fill out. it s like working out a tip with the restaurant meal but the restaurant really sucked.
