american give to charity at twice the rate of any other country in this world. if you want to bore into it, american conservatives give 3 % more on household than any other group in this country. we have to define who is in charge of taking care of the poorest among us. is it us as individuals and citizens? if that s the message president obama wants to put out, i m happy and ready to hear that. or is it at the government s will and the government s force? and there our disagreements come up. could it be a little of both, or am i going way out on a limb? a little carries a lot of weight. a little of both. could be. i wondered, okay, let s talk about something else before you have to go i have to show you this picture. these strange political bed fellows. this new video. shows snoop dogg and secretary of state john kerry doing the big fist look, talking. i wish we could hear what they re talking about because the you d yo is bad. look the audio is bad. look, look at the fi
and responsibility, and instead now we find that the political appointee is going all the way up the chain have been involved in this particular suppression. are you sending a letter or demanding some kind of action from the state department? we certainly are, especially when we find out the under secretary for management and the chief of staff for president clinton allegedly were involved in trying secretary of state clinton. secretary of state clinton. exactly. were involved in trying to manipulate the outcome here an prevent these investigations from going forward. and the other aspect, again, to return to this, is that time after time in committee, and as recently as senator kerry s or secretary kerry s last appearance before my committee, i raised this issue of appointing an inspector general. and again, when you re given 4 1/2 years where you don t have someone in that position of
so which political story will be making headlines in 24 hours. a lot going on. chris cillizza is back with us. seems the president is going to israel, first trip as president. we re expecting this before the passover holiday. he and netanyahu have talked about this apparently so we re getting more information. i think jeff goldberg may have been the first to tweet this out, our friend, but this is a long awaited trip. after the israeli election and john kerry as secretary of state. a lot of movement in the region. well, it was very interesting that kerry s, john kerry s first calls over the weekend included mahmoud abbas and shimon perez making it clear they want to reengage in the second term and fits with the president going, had been an election issue, as well. i want to just quickly show you something which we want to talk
