0 washington, thanks. jon: while the filibuster rule change in the senate might be a political win for president obama, at least in the short term, not much else seems to be going his way. two new polls now show his approval rating sinking to a new low. according to a cnn-orc poll, just 41% of americans approve of the job mr. obama is doing in the white house. 56% disapprove of his job performance the same story in a "fox news poll." 40% of those surveyed approve of the job the president is doing. 55% disapprove. let's talk about it with karl rove, former senior advisor and deputy chief of staff to president george w. bush. he is also a fox news contributor and a man who knows better than most of us a thing or two about polling. so, what are people feeling here, karl? >> well, first of all this is clearly tied to the affordable care act, to obamacare. if you take a look at the polls, it also indicates the president's job approval on handling of health care is at an nominees and other presidential nominees. what do you make of what democrats have done here? >> well, first of all gross hypocrisy. i was in the white house 2005 when senator bill frist suggested using "nuclear option." my sense it was more of a negotiating tactic because there was not enthusiasm on the republican side to change the rules. i remember the speeches by senator obama, and senator reid, another biden and another leahy the senate had to respect the minority and not change the rules. not only changed it but changed it in the middle of ledge i've session. this is big deal. the rules of the? were written by thomas jefferson. his friend james madison talked to him about the senate needed to be anchor, quote necessary fence to cool the fickleness and passions of both the people and the rest of the government. it was washington who told jefferson that the senate was the saucer that would cool the passions of country. that is to say, make it tougher to put things through the senate. make the senate move more slowly and more deliberately. now what we've got, we have a situation where president can send somebody up for judiciary and cabinet and appointment and do it with 51 votes. what we see republicans democrats alike, not sitting how do we get agreement between both parties about potential nominees. instead we'll ram through people who represent the idealogical base of each political party on 51 votes. that is not going to be good for the country. if this extend further, the legislation, we will have lost one of the great constitutional both the, senate was designed to be, to be protected a little bit from the passions of people. that is why we gave them a six-year term. that is why the rules of senate as written by thomas jefferson slowed things up, made it more difficult to pass things. the country will rue the day that harry reid in dictatorial fashion changed the rules in the middle of game in hypocritical gesture he condemned when it was proposed in 2005. jon: we have senator ted cruz standing by. we'll talk about him, talking to him about many so of those hinges in couple minutes. i want to get a quick thought from you, you are in texas where jfk was assassinated 50 years ago. give us your thoughts, give us your memories of that day. >> well, i was in the sixth grade in junior high school in sparks, nevada. i remember the principal came on the loud speaker and announced president kennedy had been shot and died in dallas. i remember my teacher beginning to cry. she asked us to put our heads down on the table and read a prayer, gave a prayer. i remember how shaken i was that, both the president was gone and then it was, that it would frighten somebody, that obviously when you're, you know, junior high, you look up to your teachers. and i, i remember that. i also remember the funeral. my father watched the funeral with us. and i remember the solemn procession to, to, to the gravesite of where the president's casket was carried on, you know, drawn by horses to arlington cemetery. it was a fearful moment for our country. jon: karl rove, fox news contributor, joining us with his memories from texas. karl, thank you. >> you bet. jon: we are awaiting the start of the memorial ceremony at dealey plaza in dallas. we'll bring it to you live in its entirety. we also want to know where you were on that day 50 years ago. so many of us will never forget exactly what we were doing when we heard the news. tweet us your story at jon scott@fnc and tweet pattive ann brown,@patti ann browne. we'll share your tweets throughout the hour. >> come news of another obamacare delay. it could have a big impact on a lot of americans about a year from now. we'll talk live with texas republican senator ted cruz next. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!
