line with a child? i think the problem that republicans they ve painted themselves into a corner on the issue offing with deficit hogs. they have to worry about their right on all of these issues. you still have the on going civil war in the party. and a lot of it is over, you know, what the tea party has with this fiscal irresponsibility. so any time you re talking with something with bigger government or government paying out more money, the republicans have pretty much got themselves into a bind on that, no matter how rational it seems. it s also striking to me, bob, when the president really called the gop out for their obsession with spending and cuts and budget showdowns. the greatest country cannot
and the results, rather than an effort that may be something we re not used to? oh, sure. you can never predict this sort of thing. but, you know, you still have to target even democrats for whom, you know, gun culture is a big part of their state. so they re going to have to do a lot of focused effort. you re still looking at a house determined to dig its heels in. now, bob, let s look at key points of the whole agenda that the president has been raising in his fight for fairness. he s talking about raising minimum wage, universal preschool, a commission on voting, gun safety and immigration reform. now, will the president s outside gain help him force the republicans to budge at least on some of these issues?
new vision for the democratic party, a vision we heard last week at the inauguration. we are true to our creed when the little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else. we, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths, that all of us are created equal, is the star that guides us still just as it guided our fore bearers through seneca falls and selma and stonewall. carl rove was wrong. president obama was right. the country is changing. republicans better change with it. joining me now is bob schrum who wrote an article today with the headline obama realigns the gop declines. and also with me, marie ra theresa. thank you both for joining me. bob, in your article today,
kill some americans. what difference, at this point, does it make? we ve got to get our act together between the administration and the congress. the reason i said max it open. tell the world because i believe in transparency, i believe in taking responsibility and i have done so. secretary of state hillary clinton battling the gop on the hill today. in this video, her testimony today is one of the last you ll see of clinton in secretary of state. but the dramatic sub text today is her political future. and it has a lot of people talking. will we see hillary run in 2016? and will it be a showdown with vice president biden? and whom could take over the oval office. joining me now is bob schrum, senior advisor to president
obama s campaign. and maria and of msnbc contributor. i want to hear from both of you on this question. bob, let s get right to it. i don t think we know yet. i don t think she knows yet. i actually don t believe she has made this decision. she has traveled over a million miles. she s traveled over 110 countries. she s done an unbelievable good job. i don t think she s going to take a few months off. do i think it s likely that she runs? yeah, i think it s likely that she decided not to. the person you saw today, in that clip you just saw, i think those republicans must be saying to themselves, gee, we kind of wish we hadn t held this hearing. when you look at the way that some of these people are, that s the closest he s ever going to
