history as having done a great thing. eugene robinson, you have a great fourth. you, too. thank you. he s never served in the military, but tea party congressman joe walsh is attacking a double amp tee for talking about her service. next, i ll talk with lieutenant colonel tammy duckworth about walsh s unbelievable comments. and republicans are attacking chief justice john roberts. they say the supreme court s health care ruling is flawed. our panel will weigh in on the real problem. stay tuned.
resonating? well, you know, i think the reality is we really mostly focused on whether people are resonating with their life and are they doing better off now, and it s a tough time. leading the country out of a recession, near depression, isn t easy. but we really have to say who s got the right answers. and is so we ll keep drilling home what the president is doing and keep reminding people that smorm promising to go back to the bad old days, and there s absolutely nothing in his record that shows that he can do the sort of work that the president has done. mitt romney was 47th out of 50 states in massachusetts in job creation when he was governor. he s been an outsourcer in chief who has never shown an ability to really create hardworking jobs here in america. and so we ll keep making the case. i think the president s made tremendous inroads and he loves being out on the road. is it that the health care ruling by the supreme court is not perhaps working to the
benefit of president obama, and that s being reflected in this poll? there was another poll that showed that because of the ruling that republican voters are more energized almost by 2 to 1 compared to democrats. well, i think those polls have bounced around, and they will. but i think what we saw with the health care ruling is that there have now been three branchs of government that have really made the same judgment, that this is the law, it s a law that s put 30 million people on health care, and i think what really will happen is we ll continue to make the case that do we really want a president who says, as romney does, that on day one his first job is going to be to kick 3 million people out of health care including 17 million kids? so it s a complicated law. it takes a little time to sin income. but i think people really have to ask themselves on day one do you really want a president who s going to get us focused on the economy or mitt romney who wants to fight the same old
when he s most self-confident because he knows how to do that and he knows how to create jobs. that s what you ll see him go back to. this week given the supreme court rule, you ll hear a lot of conversation about obamacare but more from governor romney. i feel like romney could gain some steam from this health care ruling because he could argue the only way you ll get rid of obamacare if you don t like it is to elect me. that s what some people thought yesterday was really damaging because it sort of took away the glory run of that argument. geez, i don t think that s a glory run, gretchen. i mean, governor romney himself has been out there saying now there s one alternative left. i heard him say it the other day. you have to elect me if you want to get rid of obamacare. he gets it. and you ll hear him saying that. i think that s why i say it s very important for us to distinguish between what a spokesperson might say on tv and what the candidate himself is going to say. i listen
judge, did you always take all your inspiration from beatles songs? is that our take away here? that is great question, jenna, i did not. they happen to have been right on the mark with that one. jenna: let me ask you here, what has changed? from last week at this time to this week, last week we didn t even have the health care ruling yet. what has really changed as far as law and federal power in your opinion? the supreme court has invited the congress to regulate private behavior, behavior that is not delegated to the congress and the constitution to regulate so long as it uses its taxing power to do it. so when justice scalia jokingly said during oral argument on the health care case about three months ago, since the government may be paying my medical bills, can the government force me to eat broccoli, the lawyer representing the government said no. now under the supreme court opinion from which justice scalia of course dissented, the government can order you to eat broccoli an
