About changing things but actually have the votes to get things changed. Will you help me elect this guy . Im not familiar precisely with exactly what i said but i stand by what i said, whatever it is. Ive got a time bomb in my mind, mom its going to go off and i dont know when i need a doctor to extract her we are 13 days out from the president ial election and if the schedules, events and remarks are any indication, this race may be nearing point break. Mitt romney has just wrapped in reno, nevada, a state where hes desperate to gain an edge, despite state insiders describing his operation as a match box car compared to the president s ferrari. From there romney is off to see b dar rapids, iowa, and the president beat him to the state this morning with a rally in davenport, where he laid out just how frenetic his fight for the white house has become. This is the first stop on our 48hour fly around Campaign Marathon extravaganza. Were starting here in iowa, were going to colorado, then were going to go to nevada, then were going to florida, virginia, ohio. I am going to stop in chicago to vote. Indeed the president will hit four states just today, concluding with the taping of the tonight show with jay leno in los angeles, followed by a midnight rally in las vegas. The president is traveling with Nbcs Brian Williams for a preelection special and sit down for a half hour interview with young voters for mtv this friday. The Romney Campaign, well, theyve not committed to any further interviews until after november the 6th. Smart, i guess, considering the questions they might have to take about this man. I struggled with it myself for a long time but i came to realize life is a gift from god and i think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape that it is something that god intended to happen. Yes, that would be Indiana RepublicanSenate CandidateRichard Mourdock, the latest to join the list of republican men who have difficulty understanding that theres no such thing as legitimate rape, that womens lives can be at risk during pregnancy, and that, no, forced impregnation through rape is not what most women envision as a gift from the almighty. Today mr. Mourdock tried to explain. Do you believe if the pregnancy results from rape god intended for that pregnancy to take place . You know thats a call above my pay grade. Okay but its well within his pay grade to force a woman to bear her rapists baby. Heres mitt romneys ad for mr. Mourdock currently running in indiana. This fall, im supporting Richard Mourdock for senate. As state treasurer, richard worked with governor daniels to balance the budget and make government more accountable. As senator, richard will be the 51st vote to repeal and replace governmentrun health care. You heard right, if republicans have their way, mr. Mourdock will be the guy to tip the balance of the senate to the gop. And with romney and ryan in the white house, all government will be in their control. And you have to wonder where things might go from there. Lets get right to our panel now in washington, msnbc political analyst karen finney and bethleh bethlehem, pennsylvania, professor peterson and joy reid in new york, managing editor. This is the second time in a matter of weeks that a republican candidate for the house, in this case the senate, sorry, has had to clarify that rape is a bad thing. Can i just say for the sake of our viewers, rape is a horrifying crime. These people talk about rape as if theyre selecting a cupcake from magnolia bakery. Whats going on . Yes, no its interesting. Richard mourdock said he thought about it a long time. How long did he think about it is . Ive known victims of sexual abuse. You never overcome it. Its murder of the soul. Youre talking about women who are traumatized. Men are raped as well but women are traumatized so deeply that for these men to, i dont care how long you thought about it. Youre saying to that woman or girl, children, 13, 14yearold girls saying well now the state is going to use its awesome power to make you have the baby. Every single week im hearing people use that term for political purposes. Is it not a horrifying crime . And we have to remember that the guy running for Vice President right now is a part of this. He was allies with todatodd ai. You had Sharron Angle who said when you are raped and pregnant you need to make lemonade out of the lemons and have the child. This is not pro life. Its the forced birth movement. They want the government to have the power to exert its awesome power, the federal government on a child, a girl or a woman and make her have a baby. Karen . Well, i just you know to what joy was saying, think about what the Republican Party is saying here. I think we can all agree, life of course life is precious, but that doesnt mean that any one of us has the right to tell a woman she must carry her rapists baby, nor does it mean, by the way, i mean think about what the republicans have tried to tell us. Theyve tried to say to us, if youre legitimately raped or forcibly raped youve got a way to shut that down. Paul ryeon cosponsored two pieces of legislation with todd aiken. Thats right. And then they tell us, try to say to us if youre pregnant and want to have an abortion we have to stick a probe in your vagina before we let do you that because youre too stupid to make that decision on your own, then you know, joe walsh tells us oh, you know what . Women never die from pregnancy. That just doesnt happen with technology. I mean, it is shameful what these men are saying, and it is shameful that mitt romney gave that mealy mouthed response through a spokesperson, didnt have the guts to come out and say for himself that this statement was wrong and to pull those ads in support of mourdock. Are you surprised mr. Romney has not completely withdrawn his endorsement and forced the ads to be removed, given what this man is saying . Im not surprised. Ive said many times i question the competency of mr. Romney as a politician and to karen and joy anns points, when we talk about the war on women its very clear that the men who are making these headlines have neither been raped or carry a child to term and really talking about things they dont know anything about but these are really important issues because the next administration is going to pick one to three Supreme Court justices and will, on the wrong side of this part of history have an opportunity to overturn roe v. Wade. The issues and stakes are extremely high. I would direct your viewers to a piece that came out on salon. Com that talks about what the health of the mother means and all these equations and you have a person i read that piece, professor peterson. Its incredible, thats one of my colleagues at lehigh. Thats the nuance we need to have in these discussions. Its important when we say overterm roe v. Wade, lets define what that means. It means the power to decide whether or not a woman is forced to have a child would devolve to the state. If you live in say mississippi or kansas, people like Richard Mourdock alabama. People who think like mourdock would be the ones in charge, youd give it to those people. Karen . More directly it is saying the federal government has the right, because you know, remember men dont want government in their business. Absolutely not. But its okay for the federal government, some idiot, i mean literally these guys are idiots to be able to tell you what you can do with your body. Its not just about having a child. Now they want to pass measures so we cant decide what medicines we take. Thats the kind of control they want to have over womens bodies and here is the most important thing about this today. If anyone out there thinks that the severely conservative mitt romney has gone anywhere, this is proof that he is right there. He is right there on the campaign trail. He hasnt gone anywhere. And ever the marker, ever the salesman, mitt romney because he thinks theres a chance that part of his target market might be for mourdock doesnt even have the courage to step completely away from this man. I think its cowardice. And incompetence. Professor peterson, what did you say . Its a stunning oversight of the complexities of this conversation. Again, were talking about this war on women and these are not just about reproductive rights, not just about violence and rape, its not just about health care but also about Economic Issues so weve got to get the government out of this. To even think about or talk about overturning roe v. Wade seems patently absurd. Karen, paul ryan has given his keynote address apparently which sounded just like a stump speech, i listened to it. Yes. The singular train of thought is get government out of the way, everything is about freedom of opportunity, freedom of pursuit, everything is about your own individual responsibility and yet when it comes to this issue, paul ryan partners with todd aiken. So here is the freedom theyre trying to sell us. Its a con. Its a con, karen. Its a total con job. Its a shell game. Hes saying, i listened to the very first part of that speech hes saying you have the freedom to be poor and we have the freedom to withhold any kind of funding to help you, but women, we love you women, but we dont trust you. You dont have the freedom to make decisions about your own body and we think thats good law. I mean that is the freedom theyre offering. Karen is right, this is a fraud. They are selling a fraud. It is. And understand what mitt romney is doing and i have to say that hes gotten away with it up to now. They are now marketing specifically particularly to suburban white women. Yes. And trying to zero in on them and saying this is the softer mitt romney. I care about you, but i want to make sure youre home in time for dinner and thats my think being equal pay. I dont care about that. I want to make sure that the state again, he is willing to clear the way for the most radical elements of his party, to literally control the bodies of women, but at the same time hes trying to sell them this soft message, im for peace. Hes giving platitudes to women but the actual policies that this man, who doesnt have the courage to stand up to the far right now, what makes people think he would suddenly grow courageous as president . Women should not be fooled by this. I pray and hope not. Exactly, when i talked to women about this, women are essentially not understanding how other women could support policies like this. What i would say to the folk on the right if its a religious issue thats fine. In this country you have freedom from religion thats fine. Professor peterson, karen and joy, thank you for discussing this with such eloquence. Next paul ryan rewrites in own personal history as he opens to rip apart americas social safety net. Stay with us. Mitt romney and barack obama yearn for their vote, the elusive, mysterious undecided voter. Yes, they yearn. Yes, the elusive, mysterious undecided voters. I wonder what hes thinking.

Just a short time ago paul ryan delivered what the campaign described as his first major policy speech entitled in part restoring the promise of upward mobility. Unfortunately mr. Ryan did exactly what his supporter donald trump did just a few hours earlier, create huge expectations only to deliver a litany of the same attacks, the same empty promises and the same sense that he deliberately wasted everyones time all for the sake of publicity. Joining us now in new york is jared bernstein, a former economic adviser to the Vice President , and msnbc contributor and professor Michael Eric Dyson of Georgetown University and msnbc political analyst. If i can start with you professor dyson, this was just another photo opp, he shows up at a university, he doesnt say anything meaningful that might make a difference to peoples upward mobility. He enjoys the cameras much like when he went to the empty soup kitchen and was photographed. Youre at a college, you have no sense of irony that the pell grants you want to slash in your budget will undermine the educational aspiration and the upward mobility of the very audience to which you speak. This is orwellian in its ability to imagine an opposite universe of what it proposes and yet it wants to hoodwink us by making us believe that somehow these are warm and fuzzy, compassionate conservatives and theyre not. They are slash and burn. They are scorched earth policy when it comes to upward mobility. I dont see anything in that proposal either about poverty and its all about responsibility outside of the government, not using the government in strategic fashion to relieve the burdens on those who are most vulnerable but this pull yourself up by your boot straps mythology that has been wrong from the beginning and doesnt do anything to help those most vulnerable. Jared, were going to play a brief segment of mr. Ryans speech. Here it is. So what is governments duty when it comes to the institutions of Civil Society . Basically, it is to secure their rights, respect their purposes and preserve their freedom. Why doesnt he mention his brilliant budget, the path to prosperity, why doesnt he talk about that . Because that would actually give numbers to all the points you just heard Michael Dyson just give, that was a passage out of ayn rand. Thats not the kind of thinking that we need from our leaders, our potential leaders. If you actually get into the numbers, you quickly see that paul ryans budget cuts over 5 trillion from spending, 62 of which comes from low income programs so were talking about medicaid, food assistance. Meals on wheels, respite care for disabled people, pell grants, 30 million americans. Right, thats the millions who would lose access to medicaid, to food assistance, are just incredibly striking. What theyre trying to do here he doesnt mention his path to prosperity budget, he just offers a number of set of words. Yes and the thematic behind it all, what theyre really trying to do here is argue that if you simply get rid of the safety net, people will pull themselves up by their boot straps. Well, every time weve tried this trickledown supply side stuff poverty hasnt gone down. Poverty has gone up. We absolutely need a safety net in this country. Weve known that since the great depression. These guy also take it and shred it. Professor dyson, sorry to waste your time, im going to play some more of paul ryan. Here he is. I come from a town that has been hit as hard as any but what happened next is the same thing that happens in communities around the country every day, our town pulled together. Our churches and charities and friends and neighbors were there for one another. In textbooks, they call this Civil Society. In my own experience, i know it as janesville, wisconsin. Whats your reaction when he goes to a place like cleveland, tells the people to pull themselves up by their boot straps and say this is the way you have to be if you want to be a society. As if theres no difference between those in the urban and those in the periphery and the marginal. One of the things he neglects if hes talking about poverty, poverty for black and latino is concentrated poverty. Not only are you poor but the household in which you live is poor, the community from which you come is poor, the schools are devastated and poor, and the surrounding resources are scarcely able to take care of you. So when he says that, hes saying nothing. Hes not addressing the structural impediments to the flourishing of the very people he says ostensibly he wants to help. He has no analysis of structural impediments to them doing well and the ladder of upward mobility hes knocking down every wrung with his social policy but damning people for not getting on the ladder to climb up thats the professional sociological view. What is your view as an economyist . Sure. Its a deep failure among ryan and romney to acknowledge that sometimes markets dont work well at all. Now, if youve been through the Great Recession you cant ignore that but somehow they do, and if you walk through neighborhoods where market failure is not a recessionary activity, its a permanent activity, and if you look at the unemployment rates of many of our disadvantaged folks here, where unemployment rates are in double digits even in good times, then you understand that the idea of turning this all over to the market is absolute nonsense. And so we have measures that are intended to provide a safety net, to provide people with health care, with food, with some education, maybe even with job opportunities, because they want to work. To pull all of that out and ignore the role of the economy and markets in those peoples lives is deep ignorance. And weve got 13 more days of this bargain. Jared bernstein and professor Michael Eric Dyson thank you. Coming up, more lunacy from a man who continues to overcompensate for what must be some serious shortcomings. Stay with us.

The white house fountd itself embroiled in a dustup today after giving an off the record interview to the editors of the des moines register. When the papers asked the interview to be made public the white house relented and released the interviews entire transcri transcript. Mike viqueira joins us from the white house. In the swing state like iowa the last thing the white house needed was a charge theyre not being transparent. So they bowed to the pressure. And its kind of good that they did, because in the interview, we learn a great deal about what the president sees in terms of latino voters and their role in this president ial election. Reporter the short story on this, its sort of an inside baseball journalistic dust up but alls well that ends well for the president , perhaps not as much for the des moines register. They asked for an interview with the president. They were going to make their endorsement this coming saturday. The president called in earlier just prior to that endorsement in the days leading up to it according to the campaign spokeswoman, meant to be a personal checkin with the publisher and editor and they asked it be off the record apparently for whatever reason the publisher and editor agreed to make it off the record although the president did expressly ask in the transcript we can see it the transcript that was ultimately released i want your endorsement. He asked for that. As for what the president said, martin there werent that many eyebrow raising quotes from the president except this one and only in the sense he was offering his frank political analysis about the chances for romney and ryan on the visavis the immigration issue. Heres what he said basically, since this is off the record, the president said, ill just be very blunt. If i win, its because republicans have alienated hispanics and he went on to sort of praise karl rove and george w. Bush for trying to reach out to hispanics. If anything the president didnt want to be seen as praising those two, i dont know, but alls well that ends well. Mike, quickly if i may, apparently the president s schedule is so gruelling and busy that hes going to sleep on air force one. It is. How common is that for the president . Aside from traveling across continents because this is across the United States . Reporter i dont recall this president ever doing that while president , its true. Coming back from hawaii he goes out there or has gone out there for his annual christmas, new years vacation. I believe they do that in a red eye fashion but everybody does that coming back from hawaii to the east coast and of course theres International Travel as well. Hes going to iowa, colorado, los angeles to tape the jay low know show las vegas, flies overnight to florida on the red eye, goes to virginia, then to chicago to vote early voting in chicago at his home, then to ohio on the tarmac, so it is a whirlwind twoday tour.

People who cant decide are going to be the ones who decide. Wait a minute what about me over here. I think romney is leaning obama . Trump is promising an october surprise.

You should go as mitt romney from the debates. I zinged you. I zinged you. This is goodbye. Yep. Lets get right to our panel now, joined by msnbc contributor jonathan kapart of the Washington Post and msnbc contributor jimmy william. John, the Romney Campaign seems convinced that if they say theyre winning they will win. New york magazines jonathan chates spoke to romneys closest adviser seriously well win 305 votes in the electoral college. Jonathan, seriously . Reporter right, seriously . Whats happening is a strategy that was say concocted by karl rove in 2000. If you say its so, then it will be so, and it has more to do with sort of ginning up the conversation among us covering the campaign if the Romney Campaign keeps saying that they still have the momentum and theyve got it on their side, then thats what well report and that will get out there and then the people will believe it, and then they hope that that will then lead to votes. The problem comes in, however, as mike allen pointed out today in politico playbook, despite what the Romney Campaign is saying, they are not leading in not one of the swing states. The strategy is bumping up against reality. This isnt the first time, jimmy, people have tried to use Norman Vincent piele as their guide, the power of positive thinking. Karl rove in 2000 telling everyone george bush was going to win 320 electoral votes . How did that work out . 150 less. Good, youre good at math. That was off the cuff by the way. I know, gosh. I didnt include the five Supreme Court justices that gave him the election. This is simple. I can tell myself when i wake up i have no hair and no double chins and im in the same shape when i was 25. Im sorry, im not, i do have two double chins im bald. Heres the deal, my dog still loves me. It doesnt mean im going to be the next president of the United States and just because karl rove says it, i dont always believe it especially when he says it on fox. Indeed, jonathan you remember that gallup poll last week which had romney up seven points among likely voters . Right. If you look at it today youll see mr. Romneys lead cut in about half. Hes only up by three points, and what do you make of the new Time Magazine poll showing the president ahead in ohio by five points . Martin, quite frankly i am polled out. Oh reporter there are so many polls. Hes up. Hes down. That ones up, that ones down. Who do you believe . Theyre oversampling this one, undersampling that one. I mean, the fact that the president has sliced in half mitt romneys lead in the gallup poll have people behind me feeling good in terms of that one poll but when you talk to the people here and you talk to people out in the field, they know that, and have always known that this is going to be a close race, and that they cant let one poll or a series of polls distract them from what they really need to do, and that is to get people out to vote either early or get them to vote on election day. Okay, i want to put something to both of you thats equally delusional, and that is florida congressman alan west who has produced something that you may be interested to comment on. Take a listen to this. The American Dream is very simply the fact that a young man born in inner city of atlanta, georgia, 1961, now lives here. Thats the American Dream. Theres no such thing as a somali dream, a chinese dream, theres one dream, the American Dream and thats why people came to these shores. Okay. Before you start laughing, why does mr. West feel that he has to deride every single other nation . He almost seems to have taken mitt romneys comment about the 47 and extended it to the whole planet, that nobody can have any dreams apart from this country. I her schoolhouse rock there was one of the dings they had, the Great American melting pot and showed all these different people jumping into the pot and that became america. Yes. Clearly alan west has never seen schoolhouse rock and thats a problem for him and the reason thats a problem is he seems to have a mentality that its only about america. It is only about america thats made up of somalis that have come here and mexicans that have come here and irish people that have come here and the list is endless. What makes us great is that we dont look like 1789. Thats what makes us great and alan we allen seems to want to sugar or white coat it. Thats not the way to see a modern day america. The president said it in the debate. Mitt romney wants a 1950 social policy. Clearly allen west is running on a 1950 social policy. Thats not what 2012 looks like nor should it. John than . Reporter when he says i live here, does that mean on that bench on the beach . I mean is that what he means . Allen west is in a tough race. He is a fire brand. Hes popular among the tea party because he actually says what he means and what he says is sometimes unhinged. John than capehart and Jimmy Williams we can agree. Donald trump has fooled america into thinking hes relevant. Spoiler alert, hes not. Stay with us. Keys, keys, keys, keys, keys.

Its going to be announced probably on wednesday, but i have something very, very big concerning the president of the United States. Give us a hint. I wont do that. Will it change the election . Possibly. We were told that it would be bigger than water gate and could possibly affect the general election as you heard. In the end, however, it barely measured up to al capones vault. Were talking of course about Donald Trumps big bombshell announcement about the president and yet again the bloviating ignoramus failed to deliver. Were joined by William Cohan author of money and power. Bill, mitt romneys favorite surrogate, perhaps the man he would appoint secretary of the treasury was at it again today. Take a listen to this. Barack obama opens up and gives his College Records and applications and if he gives his passport applications and records, i will give to a charity of his choice a check immediately for 5 million. And that was the biggest event of this president ial campaign martin, this may be the funniest moment so far of the campaign, but donald is a deal guy. 5 million for the president s school records, his academic record and his passport, im not sure why he wants his passport application, if thats worth 5 million, martin, tell me what is ten years worth of mitt romneys irs tax returns worth . Now youre talking. I also want the bain private Placement Memorandum which tells you exactly how much money bain made on those deals so we could how about his pension. His pension, his i. R. A. Yes, where is the 100 million. At least. Lets find out how much mitt is really worth and if all of that for obama is worth 5 million, donald ought to put up 25 million for the tax returns and the private placement memos from bain. We all know how close romney is to mr. Trump. We should point out paul ryan did a closed press fundraiser right here in new york with him last week. What is it that these giants of money and mendacity have in common . Well, look, one thing they have in common is for better or for worse they think president obama, if hes reelected is going to pick their pocket and they are trying not only donald trump, its men and women across the city and country doing everything they can as we know. Look at Goldman Sachs which of course has done a total flipflop supporting obama in 2008 and now completely supporting mitt romney now. Of course. They obviously want president obama out of there and at all costs. They will do whatever they can. Final question. Can you ever remember, ever recall in your living memory any other president or president ial candidate for whom the public or a bloviating ignoramus sought his records and how he applied for a passport . Ive never heard of this alone let alone offer 5 million for it. I want the tax returns and the private placement. Why do you want that badly . We can find out the truth behind mitt romney, what hes worth, what hes hiding. How do we elect a president who wont share that information with you . I think if you offered him 10 million it may not he may n. It may not because hes worth so much. Why do americans have such a hard time with the r word . Thats straight ahead. [ male announcer ] this is karen and jeremiah. They dont know it yet, but theyre gonna fall in love, get married, have a couple of kids, [ children laughing ] move to the country, and live a long, happy life together where they almost never fight about money. [ dog barks ] because right after they get married, theyll find some retirement people who are paid on salary, not commission. Theyll get straightforward guidance and be able to focus on other things, like each other, which isnt rocket science. Its just common sense. From td ameritrade. There are now just 13 days to go, and the president at this very moment is about to take the stage on a Campaign Event in denver. One issue he may raise is the right of a woman to control her own body. To be paid fairly at work. All these things are on the line in this race. We received a rather pointed reminder of that today, courtesy of one Richard Mourdock, Senate Candidate in indiana who made an offensive comment about rape that democrats quickly seized upon. This fall im supporting Richard Mourdock for senate. Even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that god intended to happen. This is a man who i want to see in washington were joined by congresswoman jan chakowsky, democrat from illinois. Good afternoon to you. Thank you, martin. Todd aiken told us the uterus can detect a rapist sperm and john walsh claimed the life of the mother is never in danger due to technology and now mr. Hour duck. Isnt there something repugnant about the way these people discuss the horrifying crime of rape . Yes and amazingly they want to appeal to women . I really cant understand why any woman is going to vote republican and now mitt romney has an ad up that was the democratic ad, but mitt romney has an ad up supporting Richard Mourdock, and i know theres a lot of people who are saying then if you really have a different view from mourdock, then take down your ad. Isnt the fundamental problem here that while mitt romney and paul ryan go on to the debate stage, they claim to be moderate, considerate people. The fact is that they lead a party that is anything but moderate, and in 13 days time, that party could have overwhelming power over this nation. You know, even though theyre embarrassed by walsh and aiken and mourdock, if you really get down to it, mitt romney and certainly paul ryans positions arent very different from that. We absolutely heard that romney would like to get rid of planned parenthood, that he would like to overturn roe versus wade. Supreme Court Nominees could absolutely do that if mitt romney were the president of the United States, and so were really looking at an antiwoman, antiwomans Health Ticket up and down. President , Vice President , senators, house of representatives, and i think that women have to take note and you know, the poll that said that for most women, actually the right to control their own bodies is ahead even of the economy. Well, they can show it in this election. Right. As you point out the next president will almost certainly have the opportunity to nominate one or two Supreme Court justices. Right. Does the prospect of a romney presidency not also raise the very clear possibility that in addition to repealing the Affordable Care act, these two are going to repeal roe versus wade . You know, there are all kinds of ways that they could hurt women, probably the most serious would be what mitt romney has said he believes should happen and that is to overturn roe versus wade. I say believe him. This is what he said when he wanted to become the nominee of the party, and are we to believe if he takes a different position that its real, because its clear that mitt romney will say anything, and i think that women cannot trust that he isnt going to do just what he told us he would do, and that would make sure that roe v. Wade, our right, our constitutional right, right now, to control our own bodies and our pregnancies would be out the window. Can you help me briefly understand the contradiction in their philosophy, on the one hand, every single day on the stump they say eviscerate and reduce government, government is the problem, get rid of it, get rid of it, and yet five seconds later, they want the government to determine that women should be subjected to a transvaginal probe, that government should decide what women do with their own bodies. Can you help me understand that contradiction . You know the cardinal sin in politics is disrespect. You can get away with a lot of other things but disrespect. Thats what women should feel from all of these republicans, including mitt romney, is the incredible disrespect that they have for us, that they dont think that, they think that they can meddle with our bodies. Our bodies, our business, thats the bottom line. Congressman Jan Schakowsky from illinois, thank you so much. Thank you. And well be right back.

[ female announcer ] people who choose more whole grain tend to weigh less than those who dont. Multigrain cheerios its time now to clear the air and during this president ial campaign, weve heard some of the most abhorrent and deliberately false statements about the current president. Some of them weve chosen to broadcast, many we have not. One man spreading some of the most poisonous mythologies is this gentleman, mr. Danesh desouza. Until recently he was president of the Kings College in new york a Christian Institution offering a liberal arts education. Two years ago he published the roots of obamas rage and now produced a documentary called 2016 obamas america. Despite having no relationship with his kenyan party mr. Desouza says the president harbors a post colonial hatred for america and hes determined to destroy this countrys christian foundation. Here he is in his own words. Obama has developed a pathological hatred for traditional christianity. A pathological hatred for traditional christianity. Unfortunately since given that interview hes been caught with his pants down literally. This man who stands so firmly for traditional family values who delivered a keynote address at this years cpac conference has been caught sharing a room with another married woman, he introduced her as his fiance even though hes still married to his current wife. I should add that one of mr. Desouzas former girl friends is miss ann coulter, a woman who this week described the president as a retard. So there you have it. Mr. Desouza, a man of trad
