if he wins, what does this mean for obama? >> it is the equivalent of scott brown's victory in 2009. in early 2010 in massachusetts. that sent a message to the democrats that any republican can beat any democrat in any state. if a republican could win in massachusetts. this sends the same message for the house. but a more specific thing. it is going to cause house democrats to jump ship on obama. one out of every five democratic congressman in the house was elected in the special election where there is no primary they waltz in, 2/3 of the districts are not competitive. they don't worry about republicans. they hardly know there is a republican party. one of those districts was chuck schumer's and anthony weiner. now if a republican wins it is going to terrify those safe democrats. they worry about prime pearce but they don't sweat november. now they have to start sweating it. >> >> sean: to what extent is this a referendum on the president? obama has a 31% approval rating in the district. 56% disapproval in this heavily democr

what did barack obama say? barack obama said well, representative willson disagrees with me, he ought not have shouted out, but he has apologized. let's move on. in other words, barack obama did not want to get mired in a racial discussion. he wanted to distance himself from the racial discussion, and he did. that's the obama way of dealing with race. >> host: in the few minutes we have left i could talk to you forever. i want to move on into shirley shot quickly. that was not handled well at all. >> guest: know that was not handled well and of course v. obama administration said that they did not handle this well as you know again as you will recall this was a black -- >> host: high ranking u.s. official in georgia -- >> guest: who was accused of essentially racially discriminating against a farmer who sought her aid. she was speaking to the naacp and people sort of took out certain snippets of what she said to make it seem as though she was discriminating against a white farmer who needed her aid. as it turne

on jobs, and obama blinks on jobs speech. and there were many more where that came from. still, though, no primetime competition between the president and the 2012 gop-ers. he has another to face off with. summing it up, obama's speech up against packers. that's right. the president's speech will now air directly before the opening game of the nfl season. that's between the green bay packers and new orleans saints. so instead of sharing the stage with eight republican candidates, president obama will be competing for attention with the last two super bowl winners. next up, that's not the only scheduling nightmare that erupted yesterday. the sarah palin/christine o'donnell tilt is tougher to follow. so pay attention. a few weeks ago sarah palin was scheduled to make an appearance at a tea party rally that will take place in iowa this weekend. days later, failed 2010 senate candidate christine o'donnell of delaware also invited. so far so good. then the tea partiers got angry and sent letters protesting o'donnell's appearance.

obama will not fight for even minute matters. he looks liked adult in the room, but a depressed base doesn't like to see the president cave in on even these things. >> clarence, reason in your mind to believe the president will change course as a result of a kerfuffle like this? >> let me put up one thing, michael. again, i think obama would look much more like the adult if he comes on the next night after the republican candidates are squabbling with each other and looks like the adult in the room, because he is. he's the president, for pete's sick. and why step in your own news cycle? schedule yourself to go on right before another big news event, unless you aren't that confident about what you have to deliver in your own speech. i think in the long run, that boehner did obama a favor pushing him on to his night because he toot haought night. >> look what was said this morning on "good morning america." >> the last thing that the white house needed was to appear to cave in to the speaker, and that's what happened. the last thin

obama, many believe. jewish voter in the turner district, traditionally democratic overwhelmingly disapprove of fellow democrat brohm. they particularly are offended by what they see as bad policies and antiisrael rhetoric and get this. former new york city mayor ed koch, a die -- a dyed in the wool democrat crossed party lines and supported republican turner. >> president obama is a nice guy and i helped elect him and all those things. he threw us under the bus. >>> koch sees the win as proof positive of president obama's mishandling of the united states -- israel relationship. >> question is ed koch right? has president obama thrown israel under the bus? >> pat buchanan and no he hasn't. he has been critical of netanyahu. netanyahu does not like obama and he moves very close to the republicans. but in this district, not only ed koch an orthodox jewish community there and new york daily post and news endorsed turner. this is really in a way an antiobama vote, i think. really sending him a message out the

i think the obama campaign from the time it was the campaign, certainly the obama presidency has been aware of the potential pitfalls and him being perceived as someone who was catering to minority interests or black interests and i think they have tried very hard, perhaps too hard to avoid the mere perception of that. you recall the highly publicized professor case from harvard being arrested and stepped out of his own home in cambridge. and obama apparently decided this was a teachable moment and when asked the question about the behavior of the police who arrested him, the policeman acted stupidly. there was a firestorm reaction to that. it went down along racial lines with overwhelming majority of whites who responded to bolster his disapproving of the president's responds. the overwhelming majority of african-americans approving of his response. the white house learned a lesson from that. they learned that if in any way obama was remotely considered to indicate that he was more sympathetic to blacks than whites it would be used against him. so they have tried very hard to avoid t

came into office on an extraordinarily dishes which is kidnappings again before obama came in and obama out of the mercy of the his soul and and goodness of his heart and decided to continue not doing kidnappings and torture but outside of that they have done every single thing the bush administration has asked them to do and right now dick cheney and don rumsfeld brag about it all the time ha we got obama to violate everybody's rights just like we were doing so i honestly i don't have a lot of hope that we're going to a new democrat or certainly not a new republican who's going to come in and say hey this was radical stuff and we should get back to the american norm so i think we've got to do a wholesale change of the system because they rely on the democratic party has been a very false hope so when you think wholesale change in a system what exactly do you mean. look you know i always push for an amendment to clean up our democracy because i think a lot of this is the result of money buying our politicians so there's washington post of course an incredible story on a whole industry t

it's the same thing obama did. he required individuals to buy health insurance basically on government fiat. >> yeah, what i'm saying is we are interested in electability, but we don't necessarily believe that mitt romney is the electable one. because, again, we believe that good policy is good politics, and actually taking a stand on some of these big economic issues, even when it's difficult, even when it's uncomfortable, this is something that's going to resonate with independent voters that don't vote on a partisan basis. they vote based on whether or not they think you're an authentic guy that believes something and will do something. >> that's what i think, by the way. let's go to rick perry right now. he took a shot at mitt romney last night. let's listen to that shot. maybe it's along the lines you're talking here. >> we don't need to nominate obama lite. we don't need to nominate someone who's going to blur the lines between president obama and our nominee. when you take a look at what mitt did from the st

michele robinson obama at his side. in various ways he spoke to black people and allied what anxiety some blacks had. at the same time, he spoke to whites in a very particular way. he convinced them that he was on non-angry black man. he harbored no racial resentments. he was not seeking any saw -- sort reparations or anything like that. he emphasized various points that he had been raised by a white mother, that he knew white people very intimately. so he went to various constituencies and adelaide of various racial anxieties and he did that very successfully. successfully enough to capture the white house. tavis: you said a lot there and there are two things i want to go back and get. one, when you suggested earlier it was not until and i am paraphrasing, you suggested earlier it was not until he had shown that he could run the race. there was a chance he could get the nomination. it was not until then that black folks started to use your term. blacks did not start to break for barack obama, you said this. the truth i

i have never seen obama sad. i have never seen obama be anything but obama. if he can't be one thing, he can't be another. >> that is a good point. remember many years ago on "red eye" they did that thing about mccain being captain kirk? he is spoke. he has no emotion. you can't tell if he is depressed or not. >> concocted story. >> i miss those stories. >> he was more of a trible, though, right? >> you know what would cheer him up? think about the boat load of money he will make. he is going to be the first billionaire president. >> think about the books. we can argue about whether or not he has written, and think about all of that that lies ahead. and all of those years of watching his wife go to j crew. >> all of the work that bill will have ahead of him. >> the great thing about obama is he is 50. he could play himself in the movies about him. isn't that awesome? >> it would be an excuse to buy some just for men. it is happening. >> from feeling stale to tattle tails. can they beat the right with a cry baby site? the team is confronting what they call lie

that's been the federal election of obama he was brought in as a symbol of hope for workers in the first peoples and against racism but it's largely the policies that sold the traditional poses of big business and a tradition obama is keeping up with raising a record amount of money for his campaign this despite growing unemployment poverty and a housing crisis so where are these thirty five thousand dollar a dinner donations coming from exactly. good evening it's tuesday september twenty seventh it's eight pm here in washington d.c. i. lauren lyster and you're watching r.t. now as the occupy wall street protesters gain steam and momentum people across the country are stepping up to get their voices heard to its writing so when to york where the occupy wall street movement began eleven days ago protesters are holding strong even after being beaten down by police even when women were pepper sprayed and from there the protests have spread westward in chicago this amateur video shows a group of protesters in front of the federal reserve bank there are the protesters are actually sleeping ou

because they want barack obama to own the economy. the memories of george bush are still fresh but fading. and they don't want to allow barack obama to point backward to a previous administration. the republicans want vivid evidence politically and economyly this is barack obama's economy, they will make as few deals as they can get away with without being attacked by their own republican corporate business leaders. chris: he has to offer something very enticing like tax cuts for hiring or some kind of business tax cuts for them to say yes to? >> he's got -- he's got to show an ability to trap his opponents into a deal that favors thame he has not shown the ability to far to be able to do. chris: he has the skill to do that, find something kept resist, their own interests? >> i think he's still building relationships and he's still trying to, you know, create a dialogue with the people who are meant to be helping him. >> he has very few relationships with people on the hill. he's not caught hold in terms of dealing with people on the

obama out. but no matter who is elected president in 2012, that person must rise above partisan politics and do what's best for the country. abraham lincoln was a hated man. the south despised him for obvious reasons and many in the north loathed lincoln as well. he had enemies everywhere. he knew it in fact, he knew he was going to be assassinated. we proved that in the book. yet, lincoln did what was necessary to preserve the union to strike down slavery and to reunite the country after the war. it was a brilliant achievement. only lincoln's strength of character. only that made it happen. every american should know the true story of president lincoln. should be taught in every classroom. and it should be widely discussed because today in america only strong leadership will bring this country back. abraham lincoln's example should lead the way. that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. what about american leadership? is it on display anywhere? joining us from washington, fox news analyst

obama beat john mccain, not only did mr. obama win, he won hugely. he won by nearly an eight-point margin. he won by about nearly 10 million votes. his margin of victory over john mccain was three times the margin of victory that george w. bush had over john kerry in the previous election. and the map from the '08 election makes that clear. the republican nominees for president and vice president won their home states, of course. alaska and arizona. they got deep red mostly low population states and that was it. that's all they got. they got the south. minus florida, minus north carolina, minus virginia. even though john mccain did win his home state of arizona he wasn't able to translate that into victory in nevada or new mexico or colorado. barack obama in 2008 won so big, so big that even this happened. >> hey, brian, one more thing, by the way, i'm having fun watching. nebraska, you know -- >> it's your favorite congressional -- >> they split their electoral votes. there's a way to follow it very easily. omaha right here. it's two counties make u

who inherited the bush years of reaction to nine eleven i've struck by two things first i think obama has tried since he became president to lower the rhetoric you do hear less talk about a war on terror an undifferentiated analysts struggle against terrorists wherever they are and you do see an effort by obama to work to improve u.s. ally ally in the effort to reset as that term is the relationship with with russia i think is one of the significant policies that obama embarked on right at the beginning of his term he knew the u.s. need more friends than it had and he said that changed policy that so as to get them at the same time that obama has been using i think quieter rhetoric and has been trying to work better with allies he has been very aggressive in secret in his attempts to destroy. the raid on the compound of us osama bin laden that resulted in his death on may second as an example that was a very tough operation it's a decision that george bush might have taken but i'm told by people who were close advisors that he might not of obama sharply stepped up the pace of predator

why do you think obama won? an anti-bush vote. now we are seeing the anti-obama vote. if this continues to grow, there is no chance obama will will be reelected, no chance at all. >> it does depend on -- >> sean: look at the polls. polls show he is at the lowest number. president bush in his first term didn't go below 46%. in the economy, 30s. you sold 400 million books. i know you care about your readers. >> of course. >> sean: now people are struggling to go on a family vacation to buy books. >> which i think is shocking, because we have a resident whose wife has spent more money on vacation taking her friends here there and everywhere while people are on the bread line to me that is shocking. i think that vote reflects what the people want. >> sean: i agree. if you are going to martha's vineyard and hang out with the rich and famous you think the husband and wife can cord mate their flight times in and out. -- coordinate their flight times in and out? >> no, absolutely not. i want to hear what leslie has to say about that. >> come on guys you are splitting hairs. di

that's the buffett rule and the obama rule now. nobody gets a special deal because they have got a deal under the tax code now. you make a lot, you pay at least a share, a minimum, the share of your income that the man or woman busting hump does, the worker bee who comes home still sweating and exhausted. is this class warfare? is this socialism? is this whatever the latest dirty word the right has got on its red hot branding iron? i don't think so. do you? and so the games begin. from here on out the battle line is drawn. yes, it's going to be about jobs. yes, it will end up being whether obama can get the unemployment number down. yes, it's about the economy. it always is. it's going to be how we deal with the economy, how we pay for those jobs we have to create. how we get the debt under control. how we end the american habit of borrowing to pay for the cost of our government and society. obama now has a position and so does the other side. obama says he'll veto any debt deal this november that cuts programs for regular people,

president obama hits all time lows. less than one in five think the country is headed in the right direction. there's at least one silver lining for the white house. congress fares even worse. over ae80% disapprove of how they're doing their job. republicans getting hit hardest over the country's death rating downgrade. most voters would toss every member out if they could in one fell swoop. many more results and what it all means straight ahead. >>> in 2012 news, michele bachmann's campaign manager and deputy are calling it quits. not a good sign for a campaign that has struggled since winning the aim straw poll. it's tuesday, september 6th, day after labor day. i'm chuck todd. also this morning, check out the political historian with a formula he says obama will win re-election despite low poll numbers. he's been right since 1984. let's get to my first read of the morning. we begin with the new nbc news "wall street journal" poll. as the president prepares to unveil his jobs plan before a joint session of congress on

obama another gift? this one named rick perry, who scares off the middle and hands the republicans to obama. also, a former president, a former head of the fbi, and 51 members of congress are among those who have called on the georgia parole board to grant clemency to troy davis. davis was convicted of killing a savannah, georgia, police officer, but seven of nine witnesses have now recanted their testimony. no one has given this story more publicity than the host of msnbc's "politics nation," the reverend al sharpton. and he joins me tonight. and what the obama white house didn't need, a new book portraying its team as rudderless and hostile to women. the white house is pushing back, pushing back very hard. let me finish tonight with this that question of obama's luck. are he and his rivals both counting on it to hold in 2012? we start with president obama fighting back. senator chuck schumer is a democrat from new york. he sits on the senate finance committee. senator schumer, it seems like president o

president obama turned it around in 2008. florida clearly florida's latinos the population is changing as congressman suggests there are cubans in the south and florida increasingly. do you think in a state like yours in florida that the latino vote will be the de sighs i have vote? -- de sighs i have decisive vot. >> here's the problem he has. lack of confidence. lack of confidence in how he handled the economy. lack of confidence he is going to tax them or regulate them. they are not investing or creating the jobs if they believed the president was not going to target them. when you are dealing with hispanics and latino communities there is a lot of diversity. there's one thing that unites all of the people in the united states lack of confidence in the united states as far as his ability to get things done to get the economy going and also to deliver on some of his promises. you remember that the president said within his first 12 months in office he would fight for present and pass immigration freerm. he didn't even try t

leading off tonight, obama derangement syndrome. are you aware that president obama's leading a massive conspiracy to destroy the second amendment? or that that long-form birth certificate that he released is a fake? or that he's the anti-christ? richard hopstadler once wrote a story in "harper's" magazine called "the paranoid stale of american politics." nearly 50 years later, it's still going strong. plus, he insists he's not interested, but if chris christie of new jersey really doesn't want to run for president, why is he giving a speech out in california tonight at the reagan library on american exceptionalism? the latest on the case of will he or won't he just keeps going. also, try to get your head around this one. some employers are posting help wanted ads saying no unemployed candidates will be considered. get that. no unemployed will be considered for employment. by the way, didn't governor romney say that corporations are people? and the inartful dodger, mitt romney meeting with donald trump, but having his aides play sca

>> because obama wanted it approved. they wanted to do the green energy deal. >> that will come back to haunt wanted him and haunt him badly if the white house put their thumb on the scale of this thing because this is not a policy question. this is a question of rewarding one particular company who ironically enough has a major benefactor who is bundler for obama. >> kaiser, right? >> george kaiser making numerous visits to the white house during the period. >> staff said don't go with us. that ought to be a first warning sign you shouldn't go with us. >> bill: terrible week for the obama administration. it seems to me and you it will palm more and more democrats are bailing. that's right. this afternoon, david axelrod says it's nonnegotiable. got to take as it entire package. today senator bob casey democrat of pennsylvania says i can't vote for a bunch of the stuff. >> bill: mansion in west virginia won't either. >> the president is not serious about passing this bill. third paragraph from the end he says now i know t

nonone saying i want to be a doctor becauseful obama care. rick perry will fix that and add new jobs. >> he plans to do that on day one and plan to repeal and make the effort to repeal it on day one? >> exactly. and repealing obama care is one of rick perry's top priorities because congress e exceeded its authority and forcing americans to purchase a product and in part because rick perry understands that obama care is crushing employment and jobs across the country, part of his plan to get america back working again is roll back the regulatory regime that obama impressed on the country and part of that regime is eliminating obama care. >> mr. abbott. thank you for joining us. appreciate your insight. >> thank you, uma. >>> and your turn to weigh vaccinate their daughters agt hp why or why not. weet your answers or hurricane uma and i will read your responses later in the hour. hope to hear fru. >> when we come back. the latest on the deadly reno plane crash. an eyewitness and a pilot in the crowd at the time will tell us why the pilot's last

romney leads obama with the best chance 49-47. perry trails obama 50-45. then romney beating obama by two points. what do you make of it? >> whether the party going to get pragmatic or not this happened with democrats in 2004. i ran the howard dean campaign. people loved the red meat, the guy that spoke to their heart in the end they got pragmatic they wanted the guy they thought was going to beat george bush that was kerry. >> sean: big bore. kerry was a horrible candidate. >> that's what a lot of republicans think romney is. very interesting the parallels are actually pretty -- >> i think there's a sentiment of perceived he -- elect aeult. people want someone -- electability. people want someone who is going to beat barack obama. there's a sense romney comes from a more blue state. >> sean: romney is the governor of massachusetts. if you go back some of ronald reagan's positions, they weren't exactly conservative when he was governor. >> they weren't as conservative when he was president right now. i feel like there's the reagan we talk about and the one

>> no, obama can turn on a dime. it must be an election year because it's astonishing frankly that he can give that speech and as a person who preferred his previous positions on things, it's such pandering and blatant for him to turn and now just completely-- >> and cal, new york magazine came out this week with this cover, the first jewish president. why did they do that? >> well, look, we're still dealing with the aftermath of that anthony weiner lost seat in new york, and the polls showing a lessening of the jewish support for the president and i think that was behind a lot of the speech. let me tell you i think one of the one of the best journalists on this, besides myself, one of the points she made with the media have treated israeli and palestinian cause as moral e-- morally equivalent and their histories as morally equivalent as well. and we take the sayings of abbas, mahmoud abbas, the president of the palestinian authority at face value about their supposed rights and the rest and the media write it up as

put obama care in on national level with obama? even a come'. >> bill: the republican brew ha harassment did romney know who you are, the sage of southern california? does he know. >> sure he did. he said you take the bullet for o'reilly, right? >> bill: did he? , okay. the government, okay. >> no. listen. >> bill: some of these guys have no idea who we are. >> no, he does, billy. i told him, you know, i told him that we were going to do some gigs together. maybe we could get him to come. here is the thing about him. he is -- the people say he is a flip flopper. guess what? obama is a flop flopper. he did choose the wrong thing and it's not working and he is never going to change. all i ask is of somebody if they gang it flip and try the other thing. obama is not going to try the other thing. >> bill: good point. jesse watters and maxine waters reunited and feels so good. jesse didn't get a lot out of here you say. >> still waters runs deep shill waters runs away. she looks cute. she is a little freaked out by jesse. he should have

well you said it when obama said it was political circus and he's the ringmaster if anybody watched that you could wonder how any self respecting adult could have any respect for these politicians jumping up and down and clapping like trained seals that every two bit lawing all this speech was is obama's campaign speech on one and you have the republicans that want to cut back in title means that anything going to the people bringing our stary measures and obama promising empty promises look they threw their best shot at it when they had all of the bush's talk rove gramm obama's stimulus the federal reserve and some sixteen trillion dollars in stimulus back to a loans etc and they couldn't create jobs they're not going to create jobs now this is just an empty plan of a lot of rhetoric course is also the issue of the half trillion dollar price to go with this plan this is the america really afford the gavel so much money on something that may or may not crucially how do you think the ball is going to tolerate america's cash printing presses we know what you think what about them well you'

president obama has a plan. he asked congress to pass a $447 million bill called the american jobs act which includes a payroll tax cut, 8 to the states, and for those who have been out of work and long time. congressman michele bachmann asked what is new. apparently nothing. >> there should be nothing controversial about this piece of legislation. everything in here is the kind of proposal that has been supported by both democrats and republicans. including many who sit here tonight. and everything in this bill will be paid for. everything. >> what is the problem, charles? full speed ahead, right? >> there is nothing in this bill that wasn't proposed and enacted two years ago and then failed. what strikes me is the fact that it seems to me and abuse of the majesty of the venue. a joint session of congress is a place where fdr asked the country the day after pearl harbor for a declaration of war on japan. well lbj stood and asked for a revolution in civil rights. obama used it as a way to kick off his campaign.

so the obama adminisation is something surprising. it bypassed an appeal process because as the folks may know out there, 21 states -- is it 21? >> 26. >> bill: 26 states say it's unconstitutional. they banded together to bring it to the federal court. one federal court already ruled it is unconstitutional. >> right. >> bill: there is two more steps. but the obama administration says we don't want to take the second step. we want to go right to the supreme court. >> they punted to the supreme court. >> bill: punted? >> absolutely. >> bill: that's a football team. >> i know. >> bill: i used to be a punter. >> they punt right to the supreme court. >> right. it was a bold move by the administration. and i think the reason they did it is because they thought they were going to lose in the -- >> bill: the second one they thought they were going to lose, making it harder for the five pinheads -- four, liberal pinheads to justify -- >> you're calling the supreme court pinheads? >> bill: i believe i am. >> i got that, okay. >> they are! >> bi

to defeat obama in 2012. of course, this was after the 2010 congressional elections where they were screaming jobs, jobs, jobs. of course they will be against anything that will stimulate jobs because lowering the unemployment rate helps millions of families but destroys their chances of sabotaging the economy and defeating obama. i must say most of our comments were anti-republican. maybe our republican friends aren't up early this morning. but most of the comments we are getting so far appear to be from our democratic friends. although i could be wrong. >> wake up, republicans. it is five to 7 on the east coast. >> they want it to be doa. that's the whole point. it is not -- they don't want the president to go big and do something. it is about what the president can -- should undo because they think what he has done so far is made it zblo-- >> liberals are quite upset with the president. he just appears weak. he appears to have caved in and also appears partisan because did he schedule the bug speech on pur

he writes memos that really guy obama. what happens here is that he is a senior adviser to the president. he is not the chief of staff, he was offered the job. he sees what has happened over the past year and he steps up. he writes a memo which is in the book where he really lays out a blueprint for how the president could take back control of the white house. one of the things in that memo, which any reporter should be following up on, is a couple of items where he talks about, specifically to the treasury department, when they disagree with what the president has decided, they tend to slow walk it. in this is a memo, not something with fiery language. essentially what that means is that if treasury does not think the president does not make the right decision, they either ignore, spin, slow. tim geithner has come out and the night that -- and denied that. >> this is crucial to this book's construction. i called tim geithner and i talked about these issues. what are other examples where the treasury department not carry f

obama's popularity. the new york congressional race is a very good example of that. >> bill: very liberal anthony weiner. >> jews are abandoning obama in droves. >> bill: in that district. >> country wide. he broke even in forest hills, for goodness sake. liberal reform judiciary. he lost the orthodox, of course, he also lost the reform jews, ohio, and florida, walking out the door. >> bill: so your theory is that there is a tremendous groundswell of opposition to the president? >> absolutely. and among his base a lack of enthusiasm and lack of llingness to turn out. i was so struck, bill, the atomic bomb for presidents is a joint session of congress prime time televised speech should jump your ratings a points to 10 points. >> just on the exposure alone. >> 34 million americans watched his speech. everybody was watching. he went up 1 point. >> one point from 42. something to 43. something. that means not that he was a bad speech, very good speech. stopped listening to bush when he talked about iraq and

obama. 62% of americans now disapprove of how he's handling the economy, just 32% approve. it's armageddon for the white house. however, mr. obama is not completely out of it because the economy could rally and in the same poll, 69% of americans say they like the president as a person. just 16% do not like him. remember, most americans liked george w. bush as well. but in the end, they voted, the voters did, with their pocket books. bush the elder lost. w. left office with low approval ratings. poll also says 49% believe the economy is getting worse right now. 76% say we're in a recession. 53% blame bush for the recession. just 32% blame obama. as far as the tea party is concerned, 29% of americans have a favorable view. 42% unfavorable. 29% say they haven't heard enough. there is no question tea party took a hit in the debt debate debauchle. as many americans feel some tea party people were simply too militant. also tea party stalwarts like sarah palin continue to have big negatives. now, o

president obama a is at the u.n. general assembly in new york and top on his agenda, trying to give a boost to the libyan transitional government on the world stage. all of that at the top of the hour. >> thanks, guys. >>> and a new look for facebook. why the site and iphone app is getting a facelift. >>> we have reported moments ago alarm bells being sounded at the u.s. embassy in kabul. we now have received more information. apparently there's been some type of suicide attack or explosion at the home of a former afghan president, which is relatively near to the u.s. embassy. so far, no claim of responsibility. no word on casualties. we are working this to get more details for you. >>> monday night football. the first time in five seasons. >> you saw moments last night that remind you why it has been so long. four mistakes by the rams led to four giants touchdowns. this is probably the worst. sam bradford throws a lateral, the backwards pass doesn't connect. it's a live ball. he scoops it up and says thank you very

obama is in the toilet with his numbers. we need these people who are smart to be in this race and i actually think it's borderline irresponsible if you can win the presidency and take these people down, you've got to get in the race. even if i don't like people like jeb bush. >> i would follow up with that by saying, because there is an incorrect statement that is often made by many conservatives out there. yes, it's true that liberals will accuse some republicans of being unelectable, just because they don't want to face those republicans. but that doesn't mean there is no such thing as unelectable. and similarly, yes, it's true, that liberals will call even smart conservatives stupid. that doesn't mean when a liberal calls you stupid, it proves you're smart. you have to do something else to prove you're smart. there is such a thing as electable and republicans, conservatives ought to be focused on that like a laser beam because i agree obama has a glass jar and we've got to get this guy out if we want to turn the country
