to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. president obama and the folks, that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo simplicity and directness, every day american delma hart has defined president obama's current dilemma. financial officer for veterans organization and mother of two. she is not happy about where america is these days and put president obama on the spot yesterday during a town hall meeting. >> i'm one of your middle class americans. and, quite frankly, i'm exhausted. i'm exhausted of defending you, defending your administration, defending the man tell of change that i voted for and deeply disappointed with where we are right now. i have been told that i voted for a man who said he was going to change things in a meaningful way for the middle class. i'm one of those people and i'm waiting, sir. i'm waiting. i don't feel it yet. i thought well it wouldn't be a great american i would feel it in some small measure. i have two children in private school and the financial recession has taken enormous toll on my family. >> bill: miss hart speaks for millions of americans simply fed up with politics. they are suffering and relief is not in sight. so the president is caught in a very difficult position. ms. hart likes mr. obama but she is being honest. her circumstance is not good. while the only thing the president could do is particular -- tick off a few accomplishments. >> when you say there are things that you would like to see happen or you are hoping to see happen that haven't happened yet. let me give you a couple examples. a million more students are going to be able to get loans and grants and scholarships to go to college. the credit card companies can't increase your interest rate without not phiing you and they can't increase your interest rate on previous balances. if your child heaven forbid had a preexisting condition, before i took office, you were out of luck in terms of being able to get health insurance for that child. now, insurance companies have to give you health insurance for that child and, by the way, that health insurance company can't drop you if you get sick. >> bill: the question is, is that enough to calm delma hart and other working americans? the president has accomplished some things, no doubt. but overall the country remains in dubious shape. but there is more to the country's disenchantment than the economy. bypassing obama care the president is forcing americans to buy health insurance. but he is also subsidizing tens of millions of people who can't afford the health insurance. those two things are not sitting well with many americans. they don't want to be forced to buy anything and they resent having their tax money given to other folks, especially when they themselves are struggling. also, the president comes across as a guy who doesn't quite i couldn't know stand why some folks are frustrated with him. there is a gap between the every day american and the harvard lawyer. so there are storm clouds hovering over the white house. and mr. obama to know it. he and his party are on the defensive. and the republicans are in no mood to work with the president on anything. that is not good news for the united states of america. political chaos is the last thing we need, but that is what we have. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight, reaction. with us our barack and hard place duo monica crowley and alan colmes. monica, he has done some good things, correct. >> he has a list of very big accomplish manies. no one will take away the fact he got health care passed through. cap and trade passed through the house it stalled in the senate. but, yes, he has done some major things. the problem for this president is that upwards of 70% of the american people, which aren't just conservatives or republicans but include a lot of independents and, yes, some democrats, too. oppose those accomplishments. they oppose what he has done so far. >> bill: they don't think it's worth the price. they say look, the cost isn't worth what we're getting. and then there is the entitlement aspect to it what did you you think of delma -- i liked her. >> i thought it this was a great moment. i love her. unlike these tea party candidates, president obama is not afraid to put himself in the middle of a situation where he is confronted with challenging questions from real people. >> bill: wait. let me stop you there what do you mean he is not afraid? this was an nbc orchestrated event. obama was shocked that she did get. >> in she got in. he is not afraid to stand up and answer tough questions. >> bill: that's what you do in town hall meeting. >> like other candidates christine o'donnell run away. >> angle was here she she asked if this was the chair where colmes sat. >> he said hart is a plant. >> clearly, this was a diverse audience. >> bill: everybody was vetted who went in there by the secret service and nbc. there aren't any plants. >> you know what, bill? the point is that this was a friendly audience to this audience. this was made of people like miss hart who voted for him and incredibly disappointed with the state of the economy and the state -- >> bill: wait, stop. stop. colmes, just come back to earth for a second. do you think barack obama would sit there with a fox news town meeting? answer that question. do you think he would? based on what? >> he went on "the o'reilly factor." >> bill: yes, two years ago. every time i call him now i get that number is not in service. >> you want him to come on and bring welcome with a gone lady? >> bill: you are telling me that barack obama would do a town hall meeting sponsored by fox news? >> i'm not his press secretary. >> bill: you just said he would. >> o'reilly, if i may call you that he is not afraid of putting himself in tough situations. he is not afraid to answer questions. >> bill: you, monica and i will be the emcees and we have our people in here. >> i'm one of your people. i'm happy to do it. >> we're all missing the point much the point is mishart's criticism is very gentle criticism. >> bill: i disagree with you. >> you would have come at him every which way by tuesday. >> bill: crowley, you are crazy. that was not gentle. that was as cutting. >> she was honored to be in his presence and she went -- and it was very honest. >> bill: very respectful woman. if you think that was gentle. >> i think it was very gentle criticism of that president. >> bill: me and all the other pinheads combined. >> the tone was gentle the content was not. >> this is a woman who voted for him. >> bill: devastating. if you stipulate that okay it was a very tough line of questioning and very honest and i agree with that very sincere. you have to look at his response. his response was well, we have done everything but we are moving in the right direction. >> bill: that's all he said. >> he doesn't have anything else, bill. because his record is pathetic. >> bill: he cited three things he got done that he thought delma would respond to. >> let's not forget that he was elected. democrats were elected to change health care to. change wall street to. continue the stimulus that george w. bush started. they are doing the things that they said they would do. >> i wanted health care changed but i had the same plan that didn't cost much money. maybe you miss. that i don't think americans oppose the change. they oppose the bankruptcy that we're headed for. >> we know according to the cbo the costs are less than they would have within without the change. >> bill: oh, please. >> he identified a couple of specific things. he said look, millions of more college students will be able to go to college. we under the age that kids can be covered by their parents' health insurance to 26. >> bill: all of that costs an enormous amount of money. >> that is the point. that's why americans are so infuriated. this is costing american people so much money that we don't have. >> bill: wouldn't be so infuriated if the economy were better and they felt more secure. >> correct. and if the policies worked. it's the tandem of the fact these are anti-free market approaches that are not working. >> they are working. >> making the situation worse. >> bill: next week if you come in here. >> that's a threat. >> bill: i'm going to give you homework assignment. school is. in i want you to reef search the $111 million the city of los angeles received from you, me, and monica and all the other taxpayers and the 55 jobs that created. i want you to defend that. >> you can explain to me? >> bill: defend that next week. >> the recession by the way ended in july of 2009. >> bill: you have your assignment, colmes, next week on this program. 111 million in l.a. 52 jobs. >> i'm not gloating. >> bill: barack and hard place, everybody. next on the rundown, karl rove on tea party strategy. how should president obama deal with the insurgent movement? later, sarah palin's daughter bristol dancing on national tv. is that a good get any phone free only at verizon when you buy the hot new samsung fascinate with its super amoled screen. get a free samsung intensity, a free blackberry bold or any other phone in our lineup. don't miss out. offer ends september 30th. buy a samsung fascinate and any other phone is free. only at verizon. >> bill: unresolved problem segment tonight, "new york times" la meaning the fact that some right wing organizations are attacking the obama administration by using tv and radio advertisements. particularly the uber liberal times doesn't mexico that the left routinely does the same thing. some of the reportage karl rove's name has surfaced. he will be with us in a moment. first, here is an example of an ad the "times" does not like. >> alan grayson and suzanne are putting nancy pelosi's liberal agenda ahead of florida seniors. >> they supported pelosi's health care bill. >> which cuts $500 billion from medicare. >> we thought she was looking out for us. >> she switched her vote at the last minute. >> and grayson did some nasty name calling when people disagreed with him. >> they betrayed the trust of florida's seniors and this november we'll remember. >> 50 plus association is responsible for the advertising. >> bill: 60 plus association. joining us from washington the aforementioned karl rove. now, you co-founded an organization called america's crossroads. and there is a million of these things. basically, you guys are in business to put your political point of view across on television and radio. the "new york times" despises that. but, well, what do you think they are up to here? >> no. they don't despise that they despise it only if it comes from conservatives of. look, here are liberal groups that don't report donors, unions, move on, center for american progress. league of conservation voters. aarp. national resources defense council action fund. people for the american way and naacp. you may remember the naacp spent $10 million in 2000 running an ad against george w. bush during the presidential campaign alleging that he had acted insufficiently harsh on some bigoted race murderers in texas. i never once saw the "new york times" utter a peep about this. >> bill: when you give money on-to-organizations on your little clap board. >> there that's a white board. that's not a clap board. clap board is what's on the side of a house in new england. this is a white board. white board, bill. >> bill: i'm sorry. that's a major point. you don't have to say the -- the organization doesn't say who gave the money did. your american crossroads group, if i give you money you are not going to tell them i gave you money, right? >> well, american crossroads is a 527, which does report its contributors on a monthly basis. it has affiliated group called crossroads g.p.s. which is a 501 c 4 and does not report -- >> bill: i got it you say that the playing field is even here that both sides take their shots and both sides. >> sure. >> bill: both sides use the system to hide their donors. >> but the "new york times" is only incensed when conservatives do it. when liberals do it -- in fact, remember, the "new york times" accepted contribution from a payment from moveon.org for an ad placed in the "new york times" pages, remember the betrayous ad aimed at general petraeus? >> bill: sure that. >> came from an organization that does not have to report its contributions. they accept placement from unions all the time. what the heck are they systematically. >> bill: they take the money that they're complaining about. this may seem like a stupid question. but do they think that the reader is that stupid? they don't know that the other side, the left, does the exact same thing the "times" is condemning on the right? do they think the readers don't know. >> frankly with respect to bill kel larry and all the people at the "new york times" to inhabit that place and the editor. yeah i i do think they think the american people are stupid and playing to audience east side liberal. >> bill: i want you to put you in the house today. say you are a barack obama advisor and you see this titled wave of tea party stuff going on and it looks to me like the white house is confused on how to deal with the tea party. what would you tell them to do? >> i would tell them to stop attacking the tea party. it elevates the tea party and lower the president. you know, let's step back for just a minute. why did people vote for barack obama. in part, they voted for him because he said i don't want to be the president of red states or blue states. i want to be the president of the united states. and the hyperpartisan rhetoric that he has adopted, particularly in the last sings months but really added to since taking his hand off the bible and saying so help me god has been counter to that sort of hopeful and optimistic, you know, rhetoric during the campaign that i'm going to change the tone the american politics. these harsh attacks upon ordinary americans who happen to differ from him on issues especially deficit and debt. >> bill: he doesn't do it. now his web sites do. and hesitate under lings do. he himself doesn't come out and condemn the tea party. >> yes he does. take a look at his speeches. he attacks the candidates with the tea party and lowes his agents inside the white house to go explicitly attack. they he attacks them in his rhetoric. he said in his comments yesterday. he said it's up to the tea party people to spell out what they would actually cut. >> bill: that's not really an attack, that's not how the tea party people respond to it and, again, my point is, stop talking about them. you are the president of the united states. lay out a positive. the president doesn't need to take on every political test. leave that to tim kaine. get rendell to do it. the president needs to remember he is the president. not some political hack for the democratic national committee. >> bill: president bush ignored a lot of the attacks. i think the white house is terrified of this tea party. >> sure they are. >> bill: i think they are terrified. >> they should be. they shouldn't be elevating them like they're. she should be terrified of them. this is a movement that is highly decentralized and it's revved up and is going to bring a pass of new voters into the electorate this year. i bet four years ago we had 82 million people vote in races for the u.s. house. i wouldn't be surprised to see 90 million people to turn out and vote this year in races for the u.s. house. >> bill: mr. rove, as always. we appreciate it wield like to you vote in our bill o'reilly.com poll. we are asking who is the most conservative politician among these three? sarah palin, newt gingrich, or mitt romney. please select one. we will give you the results on friday. jimmy carter trashes fox news in a dishonest way. coming right back with that report. sears bonus days are here! the more you spend, the bigger the bonus, up to $250 to use on your next purchase. start earning with as little as $75 spent, including great sale prices. hurry, sears bonus days are on! sears. >> impact segment tonight, a bunch of political things floating around we want to tell you about. beginning with a web site called democrats.org. that san extension of barack obama.com. and both sides are obviously in business to promote the president and his party. but there may be a problem. over the weekend some protesters turned out to disrupt a republican gathering near chicago and they were spurred on by those web sites. conservative blogger andrew breitbart took on the protesters. >> are you here to stop the hate? >> yes. >> are you a hateful man. >> i'm certainly not. >> you are a hateful. >> i'm a peaceful man. >> what are you here for? >> i'm here to stop the hate that glenn beck is promulgating. >> like what in one thing that he said that is hate snfl one thing that he said that is hateful? one? one not 100. one. one? >> i'm not going to fall into your trap. >> why? >> it's a trap. >> truth is a trap. >> your sign says beck is a coward. why is he a coward? >> because he. >> why is he a coward. >> he stands behind entourage. >> in his tv show just, now he, why is he a coward? your sign has a very clear statement. why -- what has beck lied about? i'm going to go sign by sign. what has he lied about? name one lie. >> probably everything. >> probably everything. good quote. >> bill: all right. the question is should the president's web site be involved with motivating protesters as karl rove said, you know, lower the discourse. you can make the call. while we're on the subject, president jimmy carter is a fox news hater. did you know that? speaking on cnn he said this about president obama and fnc. >> a lot of gullable folks in the united states actually believe what fox puts forward as facts when most of it is just complete distortions. and they have also attempted to twist around what is what his religious faith is and whether is he an american. i think that's a new version of cable news. i would attribute most of the negative attitude not to the facts but to the distorted facts that comes out of fox. there has been a deliberate effort, again, referring to fox, broadcasting, to inject the race issue into it. >> bill: i think larry fell asleep during that interview. i'm not sure. let's examine mr. carter's statements. we could find no fox news employee who has said president obama is a muslim. we can find no fox does. carter can simply not back up what he says. in fact, he is afraid to appear here on the factor because he would look foolish. his ridiculous statements are irresponsible and reflect poorly on him. another former president bill clinton was asked about the growing power of sarah palin. >> is she qualified to be president? >> let's -- the american people can elect whomever they want but she served, you know, not a full-time term as governor. she went out and did. this we don't even know if she is going to run as president. but i think she is clearly a public figure who is -- who speaks well and persuasively to the people who listen to her and she is somebody who be reckoned with. >> bill: mr. clinton is much shrewder than jimmy carter. he i didn't understand stands that bad mouthing political opponents puts him in a bad light. carter could learn something from mr. clinton. finally in the impact segment this evening, some new fox news polling data. in nevada republican share ron angle backed by the tea party continues to lead senator harry reid but just by a point. california democrat barbara boxer is ahead of her challenger carlie fiorina by again just one point. in pennsylvania republican pat toomey leads joe sestak for the senate by 8 percentage points. we have data on two gubernatorial races in california dead heat between jerry brown and meg whitman and ohio former fox n
