before. that's not what michelle obama said at the time. look, it's interesting because hear is sarah palin trying to make inroads in california. i think you were talking about a rally she's going to have in anaheim on sunday. you don't see a lot of republicans going out to support her. >> you were just saying, norah that fiorina and whitman, neither will appear with sarah palin. >> no, they will not appear with her. this is a blue state, california. palin is a divisive figure. she's popular in certain parts of california. and so they're in very close races, they do not want to appear with her, certainly with just two weeks left now to the election. >> matt lewis, what's your take on the influence of sarah palin on thighs midterm elections? where is she helpful and where can she potentially be harmful to republicans. >> i think this is the case with all these surrogates. president obama isn't going to go to arkansas and campaign for blanche lincoln. sarah palin is out in california. she's going to rally the base
beyond tasty. tender, delicious. >> do you marinate it? >> i do, i do. >> what do you do with the horns? >> mount them on the wall next to my big foot and him lay yeah. >> that's good stuff. i'm supposed to get to the news here. should we screw it and keep talking? all right. sorry. president obama is continuing -- [ laughter ] >> a bad day to stop sniffing glue. president obama is continuing his push to energize the youth vote. yesterday the president held a live town hall that aired on mtv, bmt in which he stepped up his attack on republicans for allegedly using foreign money in campaign ads. >> if you're in a battleground state right now you're being bombarded with negative ads every single day and nobody knows who is paying for these
greeted by a mob of photographers. most of the other miners are just nine. one twwas treated for pneumonia and three others for dental problems. the president said anyone deemed responsible would face justice. >> we said the other day they're remarkably healthy for guys trapped underground that long. >> a little too healthy perhaps. >> what are you suggesting? >> you want them to be worse off. >> come out for dental work. one got liposuction. >> they all got ipads. >> steve jobs. >> all you do is spend 66 days under ground and you can get a brand new iphone. >> if they continue to be surrounded by the mob of media, lit be interesting to see which will first asks to go back down. >> it will be interesting for
>> his father worked not only for her, for his family, for her going to princeton. i think she understands and her family understands what it is to be mayor canned how much she knows that the president's story could happen only in america. governor palin knows that. sarah palin's story can only happen -- >> carl stokes was elected the first black mayor of a major city in cleveland, he finally said i finally understand the meaning of the words god bless america. i don't think it's unusual to grow up and find out things about your country and wonder about where it is and how it can be like that and rediscover this is the land of opportunity and only in a country like this can anyone really achieve many of the things we have where you rediscover your belief, your faith, your hope in this country for yourself and your kids. i'm not freaked out by that comment. >> i heard it said just this
seen where those dollars have gone are just atrocious. now we even have the president finally admitting, oh, there's kind of no such thing as a shovel-ready project. yeah, yeah. well now we know what it was that they were shoveling and it wasn't asphalt. >> she even appeared to make a dig at michelle obama, the first lady of the united states, alluding to comments the first lady made in 2008 where she said, quote, for the first time in my adult life i'm proud of my country. watch what palin said last night. >> you know when i hear people or it was said during the campaign they had never been proud of america until that time, i thought hadn't they met anybody in uniform yet? >> john, what do you think about that, to attack the first lady of the united states? >> i think it's a poor choice to go after the first lady. also, she completely misrepresented what she said. i think sarah palin just said, i've never been proud of america
morning that he was happy he was an american. >> what a country. >> what's wrong with rediscovering it as opposed to even challenging some of these things. >> because she didn't say she rediscovered it. she said she discovered it. >> she talks about her adult life. when i'm kid, i don't question anything. i don't question anything. you grow up and start questioning things. how did my parents go through those things? then you get older and go, that was the past and i am proud of my country and glad to be in this country. i think it's a matter of perspective. i don't think sarah palin necessarily has that perspective of rediscovering. >> matt lewis, before we let you go, any thoughts? >> i'm outraged and i'm going to walk off. it's clear sarah palin has a different world view, different background than michelle obama. to discover in your 40s that america is actually a great country, this is a bad thing. this is problematic. i think it reenforces a narrative that frankly has
power. yesterday she spoke to a receptive audience of conservatives in san jose urging voters to drop democrats in next month's elections. >> you remember the old line lead, follow or get out of the way. well, washington isn't leading us anywhere but towards that brink there, right towards the edge of the cliff. obama and boxer and pelosi and rooe, th and reid won't follow what the american people are telling them to do, trillions of dollars in deficit spending are proof of that. so let's respectfully suggest they get out of the way. >> later sarah palin went on to criticize the stimulus bill passed last year. >> still knowing what was in the stimulus package, some of the examples we have seen, where those dollars have gone, are just atrocious. now we even have the president finally admitting, oh, there's kind of no such thing as a shovel-ready project. yeah, yeah. now we know what it was that
and raise some money. clearly there's a place where sarah palin is going to perform well and probably want to be more public in a place where she doesn't want to be. putting aside the michelle obama line, the wurn line i thought was a great applause line was about the shovel-ready project. this goes to this "new york times" magazine piece that president obama gave, really giving fodder to republicans. he said there's no such thing as a shovel-ready job. i'm not sure that was a good idea to do that interview with him. >> that was one of the principle tenets of the stimulus bill. >> the summer of recovery, right? >> that went away quickly, didn't it? we'll get into it later. president had an mtv rally, trying to get the kids fired up. interesting moments in that rally. >> tough questions. >> tough questions from the youngsters. i call them the youngsters. >> they also say man up a lot, the young people. >> they do. >> that's going to be my new phrase around here, once you
ads. they've got names like americans for prosperity, or moms for motherhood or -- actually that last one i made up. but you have these innocuous sounding names. we don't know where this money is coming from. i think that is a problem for our democracy. >> although some reports that mtv had screened the audience to ensure a friendly crowd, the president was forced to defend his economic record to at least one young voter. >> if the economy does not improve over the next two years, why should we vote you back in. >> most of the jobs were lost before my economic policies were even put into place. as a consequence of the recovery act we put into place, there's no doubt that three million folks are working now that would not otherwise be working. whereas as the economy was contracting where i came into office, it's now growing. >> matt lewis, that's the
would happen all at once, the minute barack moved into the oval office, it would be done. the truth is it's going to take a lot longer to dig ourselves out of this hole than anyone would like. the truth is that this is the hard part. but remember -- because i know all of you all were there -- that's exactly what barack told us. and that's what we all told each other. >> that was michelle obama out on the campaign trail as the white house tries to convince people to keep democrats in power, many continue to criticize the obama administration for poorly communicating its vision. in this cover story for this sunday's "new york times" magazine, peter baker writes this, i hope ed rendell is the democrats who grade obama harshly for not being more nimble in the face of
