minority in the united states senate really don t line up with the historical situation on the ground in those campaigns. will the president approve keystone in the end? you had s should he? he has to continue to take a close look at it. the environmental concerns are legitimate. are you worried this shouldn t be resolved boofer the election because of the potential impact it could have? as a member of congress who represents people in south florida, i want to make sure the right decision is arrived at and the president makes that decision carefully and doesn t put politics in his decision. is the issue in the fall a referendum on president obama? no, absolutely not. no. in a midterm election and even like i said in 2012, these elections, particularly the senate elections, are referendums on the candidates running. if they were not, you would have seen the states where mitt romney won but these democrats seem to know the issue they are critical of the administration,
children and sasha and malia don t understand why the gay parents of their friends would be treated differently. that it seems to me is a very powerful force and as that young generation grows up and takes that kind of equality for granted, it seems to me like it will, you know, become a widespread strictly about especially the book and the reporting you did was what a strategist kurlly we live in. this is an issue of civil rights and morality and the president has one view and to shift the view they have to get this whole apparatus, focus group testing and strategizinstrategizing. you reported about ken mehlman and this whole apparatus has to move muinch by inch. we live in a strategist culture. this has happened before. 51 years ago this spring vice president johnson alienated from the administration went up to gettysburg, his son and grandson of confederates. he gave a speech answering martin luther king s letter from a birmingham jail. he moved the administration far
david, i had some degree of difficulty hearing everything that you said, but, again, i think the administration is basically saying to russia, look, don t do anything overt, don t come across the border with the 40,000 troops, don t embarrass us in that way, but you can continue to undermine the sovereignty of ukraine by doing the things that you ve done, and, again, i ve urged in every way i can for this administration to go ahead and, again, push back now. it s going to be too late, just like we did in syria where in essence let s face it, the wisest thing, i hate to say such a crass thing on easter sunday morning, the wisest thing that assad did really was to kill 1,200 people with chemical weapons because in essence we said don t embarrass us anymore that way. you can go ahead and kill another 60,000 people with barrel bombs and by other means, but don t embarrass us, and i think that s what we re saying

2003 where support is complehas completely overtaken it. is it symbolic of the social issues being less important in our elections. certainly what we saw in the last election was same-sex marriage was not a driving force for republican voters. abortion was still up there, was still a priority, but this is an issue that the country is just changing, and i think one of the most interesting things is if you look at young evangelical voters, almost half of supportive of the right of gays and lesbians to marry. still a question karl rove was asked and he said he could see a presidential candidate who is a republican endorsing gay marriage. do you think again that hold of what we call the religious right is loosening? i think it s so generational. i mean, i really that question of is obama if he didn t make that declaration, was he going to lose millennials? i remember when he made his statement to robin roberts, one of the most authentic parts of it was i ve spoke ton my children
