looks like not much of anything, and that their plan so far is to be the obstructionist for obama s agenda. i think the problem again for obama is the same and that is he s got to go through john boehner for any of his legislative agenda, whether with the budget, the grand bargain, immigration. i don t think that equation has changed. ari, in terms of 2014 campaign, there s no evidence in our record of these kinds of campaigns that there s anything in this that can help republicans, president obama is not running, they re running against individual members of the house and senators, there s no way on earth you can assign the irs thing or the ap thing or benghazi or anything else you want to any democratic member of the house or senate. no. i think this could be a mobilization strategy for hardcore tea party republican base. the problem is those folks are already behind the house congressional candidates. i think that s their problem. nia malika-henderson, ari melber, thanks for j
mistake they have been making a long time, thinking that the american public hates the president as much as they do. exactly. krystal ball, richard wolff, thank you. thanks, lawrence. more on the real scandal at the irs, how i think the president is aware now what the real scandal is. attorney general holder s confrontation with darrell issa. what do you do if you re a senator that voted against what 90% of the people want. one approach would be to lie and say you voted for it. and that is why senator kelly ayotte is in the rewrite. when it came to our plants, we were so confused. how much is too much water? too little? until we got miracle-gro moisture control. it does what basic soils don t by absorbing more water, so it s there when plants need it.
house, according to e-mails provided to congressional intelligence committees several months ago. republicans had these e-mails several months, they have known there s nothing incriminating of the white house, and only after republicans began to recite certain sections of e-mails and after abc news misquoted those e-mails, only then did the president decide it was time to make the e-mails public. benghazi talking points scandal should evaporate now, should just disappear. and there is a slight chance it might because all of washington, all of washington now believes, democrats and republicans, that they have a real scandal in what the internal revenue service did. and today the president tried to show that he was taking charge of that one, too. i just finished speaking with secretary lew, senior officials at the treasury department to
no, no. i am not going to stop tng thousand. you characterized something as something mr. chairman, would you inform the witness as to the rules of the committee? it is too consistent with the way in which you conduct yourself as a member of congress, it is unacceptable and it is shameful. eric holder, mad as hell and he s not going to take it any more. that was the attorney general today talking to one of the republicans who sees scandal in everything the obama administration says or does. even bill o reilly thinks republicans are overdoing it. the reason president obama can get away with saying all his troubles are caused by political attacks is that some on the right go way beyond established facts, and in fact they re giving him cover. the heavy odds are that the president did not directly order the irs to pound conservative groups. down the road, the irs and ap stories might become nightmares for president obama, but again, that has not yet been
and others on this matter. seems to me given there are things brewing in congress that the republicans may actually act on that will displease the tea party, the ability to be seen to be fighting for the tea party, against of all things the internal revenue service is just a gift that the republicans cannot resist. that s right. it is a gift and you know, in many ways you look at what the rhetoric of the tea party has been all along, which is that they re out to get us. this irs scandal really plays very well into that. so you have folks looking at this 2014 re-election, they feel like they have the narrative they want going into 2014, which is that this is an administration that thinks it is king obama in some ways and all about government overreach, and you feel like that s what they re going into 2014 arguing. what sort of legislation, what kind of governing philosophy they will run on?
