a safe choice might be rob portman, although he's got the bush connection, because he was george w. bush's budget chief. there are a number of others as well and he could go to bob mcdonald, there are a lot of ways he could go. elections are very rarely decided on the basis, if every, really, of the vice presidental choice and how significant t sin ta latincintilatig that person might be. martha: we'll talk to you soon. bill: there is fallout over the alleged leak of white house documents. peter king says the president is trying to be like john wayne. we'll ask him about that, he is live in a moment. martha: a live look in the syrian city of homs, government forces said to be shelling this city again. when will this stop? we'll tell you what prompted the latest wave of violence in syria when we come back. ♪ [ male announcer ] for our families... our neighbors... and our communities... america's beverage companies have created a wide range of new choices. developing smaller portion sizes and more low- & no-calorie beverages... adding clear calorie labels so you know exactly what yo

bush, also a fox news contributor. karl, out of touch seems to be the catch phrase of the week by both sides. in many ways the obama team always sort of felt that would be an easy thing to argue with mitt romney, because he's very wealthy. the idea that he was out of touch with the common man was an idea they felt was pretty salable. >> they did. president obama's policies are not liked by people. his world view isn't necessarily accepted. the administration earlier this year went out and said we are going in the right direction and stopped that after a month or two, because people don't think we are going in the right direction. two-thirds ever the people think his policies have hurt or had no effect on the economy. a third of the people think we are going in the right direction, nearly two-thirds think we're going to the wrong direction. this is not the big winner that the obama campaign thought it would be, and particularly after last friday. friday was of course the president's comment where he said the private eco

it was even closer in 2000 between john kerry and george bush. martha: if we bummed you out this morning with all the job numbers take a look at one positive note for consumers out there. gas prices have been dropping. i noticed it when i fill up the gas tank. the number is not as ghastly as it was. in south carolina they are celebrating. folks lining up in gas stations in conway after prices fell below $3 a gallon. >> i am glad to see it under $3. yeah, we did it. >> well, i mean it is great that it is dropping under $3 but still higher than where it needs to be. >> big deal. [inaudible] martha: statewide, south carolina drivers are still paying over $3 at about 3.11. still a lot less than the national average of $3.53. while still high, the average is down 40 cents a gallon over the 2012 peek in early april of $3.93 a gallon. this last month has been particularly good for your wallet. prices dropped every single day except for one. there is a bright spot on this thursday morning, for you, bill. >>> a manhunt underway for a trauma surgeon and a

president obama has held nearly twice as many fund raisers as george w. bush did in the same period in his presidency and way more than the four presidents previous to him combined. supporters say that all the fundraising is a necessity because of the costs associate etassociated with the modern campaign and superpac and that's how it shapes up. bill: the immigration policy is breaking news. we'll ask congressman allen west for his reaction on that in moments. martha: shocking video showing a brazen kidnapping, and the shocking suspicions about who is to blame. bill: and a fox news exclusive on the massacre at fort hood in texas. for the first time the victims are speaking out. and our investigation found red flags were raised everywhere, but nadal hasan, the man on the right was never stopped. >> you could lose your security clearance in the army for having bad credit and be kicked out of the army but you can't lose your security clearance for talking to a member of al-qaida through email? i mean it doesn't make any sense. wake up! that's good morning, v

it is george w. bush's fault. blame the predecessor. i think that is argument americans are getting tired of after nearly four years of obama being in the white house. the second argument is one we've been talking about. that barack obama is now saying give me more time. give my policies another four years to work. the problem he has, bill, if you go back and listen to the tapes of what he was saying when he was running for president in 2008, he said just give me four years. i'm going to turn this economy around. now four years later saying okay, it didn't work but i need another four years. there is real contradiction what he was saying four years ago and what he is saying. bill: what you're saying though, none of this really matters. what matters is the health of the economy and whose watch that is on? >> there is no question about it. you know what, bill, tell me what the unemployment rate will be in october of this year and i'm going to tell how will win this election. this is all coming down whether this economy is performing, whet

karl rove, chief visor to former president george w. bush and fox news contributor. welcome from austin, texas. we're on standby. we don't know what will happen here. this is a pretty good secret at the moment. is today the day do you believe, karl? >> if i were a betting man i would say it would be next week. but they have to do it by the end of june. but it could be today, that's right. bill: usually, mondays or thursdays, right? that's why we're on standby now. >> yeah. bill: do you believe at the moment that the health care law stands or falls? >> i believe that the individual mandate will be struck down. i suspect they will uphold the ability of the federal government to require states to lower their requirements or eligibility requirements for medicaid. and the big question will be severability. this bill did not what is called a severability clause where one part is unconstitutional the rest stands. whether it will stand whether it --. bill: if they take out the mandate in simple language how does that affect the rest of the law? >> it blows up most of the res

bush. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. bill: the one is on mars and one is on venus on this. that is my hunch right now. brad, is it hogwash or not? >> no, we have a u.s. border patrol agent who was killed at the hands of the operations of the u.s. government. certainly if mexico were culpable for murdering our agent the president wouldn't have the same attitude as he has now. obama who promised to be the most transparent president in our history has been the most clandestine president in our history. there is no reason to hide behind executive privilege if you have nothing to hide. i agree with the terry family, let's release the documents. let the chips fall where they may. like most political scandals is the cover-up is worse than the crime, that is not the case here. the crime is worse than the cover-up. a u.s. agent dead at the hands of the u.s. government deserves answers not only for the family but for america. bill: i don't know how much longer this is going to go on but, juan, it is quite apparent house republican

so hold on to that distinction as i make my next point because george bush skipped st. paul in 2008. he appeared by video conference with john mccain. >> well, he wasn't running for anything in 2008, and that convention was run by the mccain people, and he was still president at the time which should take a little bit of your time, i would think. bill: okay. so the list, perhaps, grows between now and charlotte. we will see together. on health care, what do the spikes do in this -- supremes do in this hour tomorrow? >> i find it hard to believe that this law can be found unconstitutional. obviously, it's very hotly-debated, but when you saw the oral argument in the supreme court, you saw justices across the spectrum saying how can you force the american people to buy something they don't want? that has never happened before. i would be stunned if they don't find at least the individual mandate unconstitutional. and if it is unconstitutional, as i believe it is, then i think the whole premise for obamacare falls apart. bill: all of it? >> well, some of it may well be leg

justice roberts was nominated by george w. bush. he has twice in two big case, none bigger than this one we've heard sided with the left of the court, the liberal block. this is reminiscent of president bush's father who appointed justic justice seuter who sided with the left side of the club. earl warren and justice black man, many of those justices sided with the left side of the court. it was not predictable. this is a major and historical perspective for the chief justice in this big of a case to side as he did today is a major, major moment for this court, and in perspective of president bush's nomination. bill: justice kennedy reading a decent we're told he started with the following phrase inside court, quote, the act is invalid in its entirety. that from justice kennedy who arguably had the most pointed questions for the government lawyers three months ago. greta vagreta van susteren on the courts of the supreme court. what is going on around you. >> a lot of protestors. behind me what happened inside the supreme court is ra

he declined an offer of a visit in 2002 by president george w. bush to a wildfire. the white house, in response, is saying that obama insensitive to is sensitive to ensure that his visit does not impede on the response and governor hickenlooper here, a democrat, says he's looking forward to the president's visit. martha: alicia acuna, thank you so much. live in colorado springs, colorado. bill: what does it mean now, america? we are talking about the health care billing in the insurance industry. the insurance industry responding to the ruling print warning that the law will raise health care costs. for many americans, supporter of the law for saying that it's designed to bring premiums down. what is right? joining us now is robert circle -- zirclebach. gentlemen, to both you, welcome here. >> thank you for having us see one robber, what you do you think it does on the insurance front? >> we need to focus on portability. there are a number of significant provisions in health care reform law that will add to the cost of health care coverage. for example, there is a 7

go back to 2004, though, this is john kerry and george bush. kerry won the state but only 50-49. that is a difference of some 11, maybe 12,000 votes in the end. if you went back to the year 2000 you would find between al gore and george bush even a closer race, looks about 4500 votes separated the tour with al gore winning that state. brit hume is our fox news political analyst, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. bill: how do you see this breaking. >> reporter: if the polling is right walker has been ahead in every single poll, including the most recent poll. they had 50-47 for walker which i would say is a reasonably good result for him. all other things being equal he should win. the margin will matter, people will read a lot into the margin. but i think there is a danger in treating this race as the bell weather wetter that a lot of people are saying. because the idea for the recall was inspired by union disaffection and anger over the walker reforms, it had to do with labor bargaining rights the campaigns have not been about that. they've been touched on but they
