Consulate have been riddled with discrepancies starting soon after the american dead and survivors led behind a charged compound and the bullets guard cia building in benghazi. How confident are you in the White House Team . President obama defended yesterday amid criticism he received for poor performance given the issue. Lets take a listen to some of the criticism that has been employed. This is on the senate floor yesterday. John mccain called for the select committee to investigate the attacks. [video clip] why is it that anybody including our ambassadors to the United Nations would believe spontaneous demonstrations are composed of people with mortars, rocketpropelled grenades, and heavy weapons . Nobody believes that. Why did president obama insists that he labeled the defense an act of terrorism on
This important legislation is a small step towards a big reward. Without it the United States exporters and Service Providers will continue to lose business to our foreign competitors that have already have trade relations relationships with russia. And once we lose those markets, our competitors will only become stronger and better positioned to surpass the u. S. In a critical marketplace of the 21st Century Global economy. According to the National Association of manufacturers, russia imported over 500 billion in goods last year, and of that total only 5 came from u. S. Exports. This bill will lift outdated policies and restrict american access to russian markets. As a result studies show u. S. Producers can expect to achieve doubledigit increases over the next decade in exports of heavy machinery, agricultural machinery, chemicals, and services. This is particularly critical for my home state of illinois where we have fallen behind japan and korea in these export categories. Most im
To see the American Economy under default and with all the consequent impacts on the Global Economy and on the american middle class. In order to do that and was enormously damaging to consumer confidence. We were downgraded famously and it is a testament to the American People and the American Economy and the American Business and some of the success we have had working with the congress that we have been able to rebound and the economy continues to grow and create jobs but that was a selfinflicted wound and we cant have that nonsense anymore. Ok for people to engage in that kind of nonsense i appreciate the question and i refer you to my comments back then. People voting the way obama did. What happened in 2011, republicans in Congress Demanded and said they would let america default if they did not get the items on their agenda. That was consequential and unprecedented and the result was bad for everyone. Two weeks ago, the committee for responsible federal budget, which includes de
Avoid the fiscal cliff. I think were all aware that we have some urgent business to do. I think all of us agree on this and this is action. Well have congressman Chris Van Hollen here to expose the problem. Governor scott walker joins rick perry in opposition to health care. John nick els joins us with the latest. Secessionists are coming out of the woodwork. Wait until you hear their reasons. Good to have you with us. Thanks for watching president the right wing afelt to gin up a scandal is falling apart. Republicans have declared the president is covering up information about benghazi. Republicans gave us a pregame of accusations, involving ambassador susan rice. Some house members say this is worse than watergate. This is not simply a coverup of a thirdrate burglary. We have four of our diplomatic personnel dead and it has not a mccarthy era tactic to demand that the American People ares no misinformed about it to the point that they dont know what the threat is. The loud mouths wer
The American People under obama care. But it all has to begin with a simple discussion. Joining me today editor in chief of buzz feed ben smith, host of msnbcs disrupt, karen finney and Washington Post columnist eugene robinson. Joining us from washington, i forgot, new York Magazine jo jonathan not that im not thrilled, jonathan. You still talking about obama care as a precondition to fund the government. I thought we were passed this point but apparently not. Youre listening to public statements. Publicly hes in the same place hes always been. Privately hes in a different place. Hes floating to every reporter to listen his desire to have a big budget deal to get out of this nightmare hes gotten into. He wants not a grand bargain but smaller bargain that gives him something to show to his base to prove what they went into was worth the sacrifice. Karen, the speaker was speaking at a podium that said letstalk. It could have zedd this is not a game. Not a game you started. Reminds me wh
