obama is a radical. we played that game four years ago it didn't get republicans elected. we played the game trying to tie president obama to bill ayers, reverend wright and saul alinsky. it didn't work last time. >> now with president obama being so devoted to big government, so devoted to income redistribution, income equality, then, see back then we didn't know what we were getting with the president. it was harder to make the case he was a radical or admired radicals. now it's easier to make that case. >> i disagree he is married to this idea. i believe the republicans have misstated that he wants equal outcomes. the president, the stimulus package you went through the numbers before, 40% of that were tax cuts. part of the reason the deficit has gone up that much 40% of the package republicans say they want. tax credits and tax cuts. this isn't big government. this is actually giving tax money back. that's 40% of what the president did in the stimulus package. >> bill: even president obama would admi

we have five trillion dollars of obama debt, new deficit debt, new debt from obama, more debt recession. >> three years and didn't fix it. >> sean: he called george bush unpatriotic and unpatriotic for accumulating $4 trillion in eight years. bill cunningham sewed this program mr. springer that barack obama who got you in trouble was unpatriotic and irresponsible, you would say? >> he is a great president and god bless him. i'm looking forward to the next four years when he is president again. having said that, obviously we are in a recession. obviously, we're in difficult economic times. ideally, it would be great if every american could have a job in the private secretary for, that would be perfect. in a capitalist system which we all three love and benefited very much from, in a capitalist system, every business tries to employ as few people as possible lowest benefits as possible. knowing that the government has to step in when people are unemployed. >> sean: bill, if we took the $5 trillion and he distributed it to the bottom 50% of how holds in america, tens of thousands of dollar

so the idea that the idea president obama or the election of president obama would rid the country of these ills that have been in place for a very long time was at best i would say naÏve. >> i want to read a little bit from your book, get you to expand on. candidate obama, a woman complained to obama in iowa about how inner-city kids don't know how to dress for a job. below is obama's response as reported in the "washington post." pull up your pants, obama interjected come as the crowd laugh. poll of europeans. >> universal that's the other part of the obama affect, which is i don't doubt at all that he has great concern for all the young people in this country, especially young black. however, he has tended at times to be, i wouldn't say demeaning, but to fall into line much like bill cosby, to say that young black people have that kind of played by the rules that would allow them to succeed. in this case, he is suggesting that effect because they wear the pants low or sycophants, that makes it a kind of cultural attributes that would suggest that's the reason why in fact they are

obama in november. in a statement, newt gingrich said the speech was more evidence that the president suffers a, quote, food stamp economy to a paycheck economy. he favors food stamp economy to a paycheck economy. mitt romney also zeroed in on an economic argument in an interview with nbc's brian williams. >> unfortunately what he says and what he has done are so dramatically different that you have to be surprised. the biggest difference, of course, he seems to think america is on the right track and things are going well. here in florida as i go around and talk to people, yesterday with eight people out of work or who have lost their homes, 9.9% unemployment here, home values down, foreclosures up, people are very, very concerned. and the idea that we're on the right track is something that is foreign to the people here. >> candidates will be back on the trail in florida today where newt gingrich is drawing large crowds following his win in south carolina. the former house speaker says his campaign ha

in the end it is going to be a referendum on barack obama. did he fulfill the promises that he made to the american people? did he live uh up to the standards that barack obama set for himself on employment, jobs, the debt, the deficit? the answer to all of those questions is, no it has been a miserable failure and that is going to be what this election is about, and i think that as a referendum on this president and where we are in this country he loses every day of the week and twice on sunday. >> you saw sarah palin's facebook posting where she says this is not gingrich versus romney, it is the republican establishment versus the tea party. is that how you see it? >> i don't -- i don't see it that way, but i do think that she taps into a good point, which is that people are angry. they are angry with washington, they are angry in many ways with both parties, and that we know we have to get serious about our debt and our deficits in this country, and, you know, when paul ryan and the republicans come out with an entitlement reform package t

it's not at all certain that that is going to be for obama. generally, this is what they call the angry white male vote to split off and went with reagan. >> eric: didn't you say the union vote is not certain it will go to obama? >> bob: not by the large overwhelming percentage. >> andrea: you think it depends on nominee, though? right? aren't they anticipating, democrats mitt romney won't get the reagan democrats? that if it were someone different, would he change -- >> bob: i'm not sure about that. i'm saying before you jump on me here, this day i would like to talk about the fact there were fewer people asking for unemployment insurance, biggest drop in six years. 1.6 million jobs created last year. 55,000 in the manufacturerring which is more than happened in other years, including the bush years in one year. i think a lot of good economic news. >> eric: 1.7 million jobs to go to get back to break-even. >> bob: that is right. 1.7 million after the first three months after he came in office. >> dana: i think it was a bad decision from a nat

obama how she liked living in the white house. mrs. obama reportedly replied, "don't ask. it's hell. i can't stand it." both mrs. obama and mrs. bruni deny the first lady ever made the comment. mrs. obama does not like the depiction. >> i guess it's more interesting to imagine this conflicted situation here, a strong woman and -- you know, but that's been an image that people have tried to paint of me since the day barack announced, that i'm some angry black woman. who can write about how i feel? who? what third person can tell me how i feel? >> question, is it normal, or abnormal, for there to be friction between the president's west wing staff and the first lady and her east wing staff? michelle. >> i have absolutely no idea, but what i will tell you, personal opinion, this first couple clearly this is a woman who loves her husband, she's fiercely protective of the presidency of her husband, of their children of her image. i would suspect there would be some friction between the east wing and the west wing, if people are not doing their jobs. >> look, mrs. reagan, quite

and barack obama says no. well, if that person, human life is not a person, then i find it almost remarkable for a black man to say no, we're going to decide who are people and who are not people. >> reporter: santorum received significant attention when he gave a quote to the associated press in 2003 about the supreme court and homosexuality. if the supreme court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, to incest, you have the right to adultery, you have the right to anything. does that undermine the fabric of our society? i would argue yes, it does. and he continued, in every society the definition of marriage had never to my knowledge included homosexuality. it's not to pick on homosexuality. it's not man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. santorum said he wasn't equating homosexuality with all the other activities. but was trying to make a larger point about morality. >> i think basically christian teaching on the subject, that one

relentlessly attack president obama. the "washington post" reports republican operatives have compiled a video library of everything the president has said. they plan to use his own words against him, with particular emphasis on the quote from in february 2009 where president obama talks about fixing the economy. >> if i don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition. >> today in des moines, iowa, well, it appeared mitt romney has already gotten onboard with the republican playbook. >> i've looked at some of the tapes on youtube of president obama, then-candidate obama going across iowa campaigning. and i've listened to some of the promises and i've looked at the performance. and there's a pretty big gap between what he promised and what he performed. this president's failed. he went on the "today" show shortly after being inaugurated and he said, if i can't get this economy turned around in three years, i'll be looking at a one-term proposition. i'm here to collect. >> if romney wan

>> the other guys will be yelling at obama, talk being anti-obama. it's going to be we're not obama. he's got to make the case that that's a bad argument. >> you said no cliches on this chevrolet i think you ought to kick the can down the road. >> bill: audiences know, but i gave a dictum that anybody who says on this show, kick the can down the road or at the end of the day, to pay a fine to wounded warriors. >> can i say president clinton enjoyed his interview with you and he did not say he would kick the can down the road. >> bill: we should say davis is close with the clintons. you helped in that. you tried to get him on for years. why did he finally listen and come on, just to sell a book? >> no, as a matter of fact, when you had senator clinton on, everybody was worried about it and i said, you would be tough and fair. >> bill: that was four years ago. >> and you were, i think he listened more to -- >> bill: it took him four years to figure out i was tough and fair. he came on and we have been after president clinton -- >> you got along with hi

. >> comparisons with obama. you know, i covered him for about a year before we got to the iowa caucus. those big speeches that's when people say who is this guy, rehearsing a stump speech and doing it badly is no way to introduce yourself to a whole new bunch of voters who are tuning. in -- -- why they wanted to quote verses written by someone else, i don't understand what he was trying to express there. for someone who has said economy, economy, economy, i'm the guy who can fix the economy, to go in on a -- run on sanctions, never mind there have been sanctions against iran, but -- >> you know, speaking about the economy, i think the real winner here was obama because the economic numbers are actually ticking up. i think romney is going to be the nominee. i think when the squareoff begins between obama and romney, it will be about jobs numbers and those are ticking up and that's going to work in obama's favor. >> and what the vision for the country is. and the reason why iowa is important is for two reasons. on

friends of obama, g.m. workers, we give you 17 percent of the company. >> if i could try to not get anyone angry, i am not sure the auto industry would not have been able to save itself. they were under tremendous pressure, with amazing competition all around the world and they tried things that did not work and they were under debt for the pension thing so there is a question, should we have done it or not? it doesn't matter because it was done, what do you do going forward? when you do it again? remember, i remember before when they first bailed out g.m. they blamed that on the public administration and now they take credit for it. so, back to another point, and if romney's experience is not politic average, and, it is not good enough, what was president obama's experience on the economy leading up to his president? >> wait a second. you are right. we did know they are there now because of what obama did. in the polls, as i understand it, obama is now trailing romney; that right? >> by five or since point

is different from obama. obama is failing. this isn't a win for obama. this is a big loss for obama. a win is if it's over. >> bob: wait a minute. look, if by the outside chance i'm right and mitt romney may get the nomination, it is true that there is a base of the republican party who do not like the guy or admire him. but they don't like barack obama in a big way. the question is, is that enough enthusiasm against somebody to overtake what will be the lack of enthusiasm over the candidate? i think there is two or three margin difference in that and that hurts and got help obama. >> andrea: i think the enthusiasm is with the republicans. i think they despise obama so much and that the economy is not going to improve where it needs to be. get where it needs to be that the swing voters and the independents that voted for him for hope and change are going to be so disgusted. >> bob: one indicator we have about the enthusiasm base of the republican party they turned out 3,000 fewer votes in 2012 than in 2008. iowa caucuses. people were predicting "a," a lo

president obama wanted to use a scalpel. is the so-called secret army the new face of the modern military going forward as we know it? >> an important new face of the modern military. president obama i think has figured out that the navy s.e.a.l.s and the special operations forces in general are a very valuable tool for him. someone who wants to wage these wars in places like yemen and somalia, so-called denied areas in ways that are very surgical and precise aimed at achieves clearly defined objectives in terms of what's really in our national interests. he doesn't want to open up new fronts in the war on terror, and he doesn't terror and he doesn't want to get sucked in to local conflicts. >> we have seen so many of these details about the navy seals in the news from the president publical publically congratulating and so forth, so unprecedented that this amount of detail is leaking into the press or should we be looking at it with a more skeptical eye with how it's getting to the masses? >> i'm torn on this a bit. on the

after studying obama veryface closely, the public face of, obama. dr. frank has reached the conclusion that president obaman has a decisive bipartisan[laughe disorder.d it [laughter], to and it's a neurosis of his to a certain extent., costory and of bipartisan unity. but i just want to be contentious this evening a little bit and bring one othercn give into that discussion. i just happen to be reading last night a new biography of the eisenhower. i was reading it because the author is comingof here. and i'll of the sudden i ran t across the author, jim newton ie saying about eisenhower that thf quest for balance was the defining feature as theinis eisenhower administration.an he and he says when i refer to them in a way, the balance, -- i'mer. sorry, he's quoting eisenhowere, i me. when i refer to the middle way,t i merely mean that middle way ag it represents a practical working basis between extremists, the oath of his tals as i flatly reject. con so i said i was being contentious. i want to find out this evening by eisenhower strength is i obama's n

all thanks to barack obama. now, the anointed one is going to have a difficult time to base his reelection campaign on his record. seeing that as he doesn't have one but not according to the first lady. michelle obama, she thinks americans were too blind and dumb with all the incredible things that her husband has accomplished since taking office. >> some people say they are disappointed in barack obama's presidency, it hasn't accomplished all that they thought it could. >> they don't know that. this campaign is going to be making sure that people understand all has been accomplished. i think people are confused about how much has been accomplished. that is what you do in a campaign. >> sean: joining me in reaction, ed rollins and kimberly guilfoyle. i love the show. congratulations on your success. they don't know. people are confused. we're kind of dumb. we can't figure this out. we don't understand $5 trillion is too much. we don't understand we've lot jobs, first president in modern history to lose jobs firs

we know what shaped barack obama. bill ayers, jeremiah wright, others that had socialistic ideas, big government ideas that barack obama goes down our throat. we know what shaped him. on the gop side and who and want shaped our candidates, cast your vote what that shaping was. >> sean: but if i can go back, if i had to press you -- i'm not going to press you too hard -- if you had to decide, if you were in florida, now we've gone through the other three states, this election matters because the future of the direction of the country. we have two dramatically different visions between conservative vision and that of obama's. you said last time you wanted the race and vetting to continue if you had to cast your vote, who would it be? >> i want that vetting to continue. it's the candidate that has to endorse. it's not going to do you a whole lot of good if you can't produce not only in the debates but according to your experience and according to what your core foundations are and according to the proof that you have tha

guys like me hammering michelle obama. abc news didn't tell the audience it got its clip they used on me from the far left web site media matters which is in business solely to smear non-liberal media people. we brought the situation to absz's attention today they say from now on they will call people like me who are injected into their news coverage. i think it's important. because i'm simply not going to let, i'm not going to let the presidential campaign degenerate into a race baiting media propaganda exposition. all who participate in that and there are plenty of them are going to be called out on it from my vantage point michelle obama has been a fine first lady helping kids and articulating issues like nutrition. for abc to paint me critical of her is flat out dishonest. a lot of us have a lot riding on america's future. it's about america's future. let's cut the crap. can we? joining us from the ingraham angle ms. laura. you are not surprised at this, are you? >> no, bill. and, frankly, i'm shocked that you would be
