she s 77 years old and she said time has come. she was okay with it. reporter: she s had quite a long time of being the most decorated olympian ever, hasn t she? upsteps michael phelps and it was widely expected to happen. it had been disappointing to this point but he is now the most successful olympian ever after picking up the silver and gold in the relay. the big question here, does that mean he s the greatest olympian ever because he has the most medals, is he the greatest or should that be measured in terms of long he havety or impact on the sport and legacy he leaves. there hasn t been much time to celebrate, he s been back in the pool this morning for the 200 meter and he got through those fairly easily. we re looking at the tweet sent from the president to michael phelps and it goes like this. con grats to michael phelps tore breaking the all-time olympic record. you made your country proud and signed it b.o. for barack obama. i m so tired because i stayed up to
the right thing to do. what s not pandering? extension of rights giving more rights to people. let me clarify my point on the pandering. here s my point. whether it s the president or whether it s romney, by my observation, when you look at the timing of the president s decision to come out and do this right thing on immigration, knowing that rubio and the republicans are coming with that next week, is not a moral, in other words, to go to the whole energy thing, if it is an honorable cause, to do anything, is not the catalyst for that honorable cause the honorability of the cause? and i guess what i m saying is whether this president or any other president and that s nothing to do with anything else when the decision making the made in the context of we better
what it is means that it is going to be a tightly contested race. it is a very polarized nation. when you start looking at how their paths of victory work out, there are a lot of combinations that barack obama can assemble that even include him losing states he won the first time around and far fewer i think for mitt romney. if you are wondering how big a factor the economy is and unemployment is in the election, virginia happens to be the state with the lowest unemployment rate in the country. that s what the margin looks like. that would be the case, i think, if every state had that margin, we would have a man there. i want to talk about this energy thing these guys talked about today. let s listen to governor mcdonald and mitt romney talking about energy. we are an energy capital when it comes to the nuclear industry. we haven t built a new plant in 25 years. he has cut back on the number of licenses by 50% given to drillers and public lands. his policies have made it harder
rate in the country. that s what the margin looks like. that would be the case, i think, if every state had that margin, we would have a man there. i want to talk about this energy thing these guys talked about today. let s listen to governor mcdonald and mitt romney talking about energy. we are an energy capital when it comes to the nuclear industry. we haven t built a new plant in 25 years. he has cut back on the number of licenses by 50% given to drillers and public lands. his policies have made it harder for us to take advantage of our energy resources. chris, those happen to be lies. first of all, lies. domestic oil production in this country is higher. it is setting records in the united states. it is not like obama has been throwing some monkey wrench in this. second of all, i think the nuclear obsession of the right is fascinating. it doesn t dovetail at all with
but where romney is according to the nbc, but polls will change. romney can do something but my opinion he has 60 days. neil: what is hurting him? the attacks in the party? guest: his campaign has been meg testify and does not have any vision. if i were up there like we talked about the energy thing or today, the president s budget is cutting funding of companies and that is what interests kids in space, planet stuff and he is cutting back nasa and american stuff, that is a memorial for romney. romney needs to stop running for c.e.o. and run for president but the biggest problem are women and independents. women are nosediving because of the way the republicans handled contraception and part of it is more to the point they, the campaign is negative campaigns. can you not just do that to win
