around the house. listen. that was pretty awesome. he s got a pretty good voice. i always say, my husband s got swag. yes michelle. he definitely does. it was really sweet. but he sings all the time. oh? oh, yeah. he s in the bathroom all the time. he s always willing to sing. you want me to sing something for you? that was very sweet. i m sure the president will be thrilled, thrilled that the first lady was talking to people. he s in the bathroom all the time. 31 minutes after the hour. they are some of the biggest names in politics, sports, entertainment, really, anywhere. today, president obama will honor 16 people for, in his words, dedicating their lives for enriching our lives. it s an event that the president says he looks forward to every year. jim acosta joins us from the white house with a preview.
since then. i don t know what we ll do with that information. bill clinton, he s been photo bombed. the former president a visit to the locker room last night. the louis val player posted the candid locker room photos and they quickly went viral. the former president spent about ten minutes hanging out with the players following their victory in the big east quarterfinals. he says bill clinton s got swag. you know what our friend ali velshi says? always wrong, or rarely right but always constant. stay with she s not a driver like danica patrick but christmas abbott is getting ready to make history in nascar s sprint cup series. abbott has joined michael waltrip racing where she s training as a pit crew member. she is working as a tire changer
as you just said, gingrich is clearly the smartest guy in the room. don t you think his problem is he thinks he is the smartest guy in the room all the time? yes. it is like donald rumsfeld syndrome. yes, i think he is very arrogant. americans love confidence, but they hate errogance. i disagree. he says he is the smartest guy in the room. that s one room. if he said, i am the smartest guy in the house. or in every room. he says it regardless of what room he is in. that s right. regardless of who is in it. what if the room is empty? then he is being modest. i would agree. i think in most rooms he is the smartest guy. i think there has to be a way you can be the smartest guy in the room and not let everyone know you know you are. so some of that errogance has to be toned down. remember, barack obama is super arrogant. you want somebody that is the opposite, down to earth. barack got swag. you are confusing the two
