something that quite frankly apeople friend and foe alike, didn t think was possible. there was real skepticism about whether or not the country we did it once do we really need to do this again? and they did. and i thought that was an important step forward. we haven t talked too much about the supreme court appointments. right. minor detail. minor detail but in terms of the legacy that president obama leaves behind i mean he could have a tweeted yesterday, ruth bader#< ginsburg is researching retirement plans tonight. it is very likely that there will be some new obama ape bench. yes. i think it is very likely and you know if you lookacklegacy of george w. bush one of the most long-lasting legacies he left not only appointing a justices to the supreme court, but judges at lower levels all over the united stat to serve asges for a very long time. jody? i was just going to say that i would bet if we re sitting discussing barack obama s talking about something t differen
of gop efforts to verge of gaining seats, a 180-degree turnaround from what many expected. cornyn wrote, quote snortles around. joining the panel is jody kantor of the new york times. welcome. thank you. a lot of assessment and night about what happened. i guess following all that sound and quotes, wrb does wrshs where does the gop writes no doubt the media must insist the republicans must change embrace social liberalism is hogwash which is why republicans to reject it. their ideology is n a problem. my colleague carl set up a great contrast in this morning d said
al sharpton and time and political analyst, our other emmy darling mark halperin. america has given president obama a new four-year lease on the house at 1600 pennsylvania ight, itg mo. the president not only big. this shellacking electoral results, it looks like a rout. source close to the romney summed up their feelings in three words, this one stings. the six-round knockout out of nowhere. we were sitting in the pumpkin patch waiting for the great pumpkin to rise. never came. no. as it turned no one sing state was crucial for the president with the exception of north carolina president obama took every single battleground state. the only remaining question is florida which hasn t yet been called and where the president still holds a lead. last night at 12 minutes past 11:00, 12 minutesfirst declared the winner in 2008 the president clenched ohio and with it re-election. but a few were too shocked to believe it. all i m saying is is that look we ve had o
generation. it s making people dependent on government. how many of you have seen that slideshow, the life of julia? due out to see it. it was put on by the obama people. it shows the whole life of julia. she starts at dependent on the government which is going to pre-k and then she goes through in the government is helping all the schools and colleges along the way and then she has a baby. no sign of a house than. the government is hoping, taking care of her and then she ends up on social security and medicare on the end. enter a whole life is made possible by the government. that is not the kind of country we want. look at europe. we don t want to be like europe and we don t want any of these u.n. treaties because we don t need any foreign export in geneva or belgium or anyplace else to tell us what to do. we believe in freedom. the first, as i say, i think every president we ve ever had, including the ones i don t like spoke publicly about their faith and belief in god and
