Other one is we ve had the citizens united supreme court decision which has brought a lot more money into politics and it s led to what i think is going to be an interesting moment in november to a question of can democrats keep up with the spending? by and large, republicans are outspending democrats. democrats can t keep up. and so they ve got to find another way to compete. yeah. and i also think that the is it true at this point, that the only way to compete is to get the super pac money going in your direction. is it not any more a message? not necessarily. the big test we re going to see in the fall democrats instead of trying to outraise republicans, which they don t think they can do and that s true from obama all the way on down to senate, state house races, what they re doing instead is trying to pursue a strategy of out organizing and really turning out a grassroots effort to overcome the financial disadvantage. it s not just the re-election campaign. obama was about t
Will let stand the president s executive order. the answer is, that i will put in place my own long-term solution that will replace and supersede the president s temporary measure. as president, i won t settle for stop gap measures. i ll work with republicans and democrats to build a long-term solution. he may admit that he hasn t kept every promise. and he ll probably say that even though you aren t better off today than were you four years ago, things could be worse. he ll imply that you don t really have an alternative. i believe he s taking your vote for granted. i ve come here today with a very simple message. you do have an alternative. your vote should be respected. and your voice is more important now than ever before. you know, it seems to me, mark halperin f i m looking at the former governor of massachusetts and i m a hispanic voter, i m thinking that if he
Politics where money is the chief determinant of who wins a race or just a big advantage that can still be overcome with effort and planning. from the white house on down, the sudden infusion of huge sums of money into races facilitated by the supreme court s citizens united decision in 2010, is changing the way the two parties approach campaigns. many republicans are now enjoying a pronounced advantage while their democratic opponents struggle to adapt. in 2008, obama outspent john mccain three to one. this time, his advisers expect to see him outspent three to one, not nearly so bad as wisconsin, but a disadvantage nonetheless. so josh, have we crossed i think that s a great question. can for example, hope and change and small donations that we saw help a lot last time around, go up against big money or is it over? well, there are a couple things that are different this time around. that hope and change has diminished somewhat, but the
Bastard mol low tof. he will turn around an stab you in the back. even ribbon drop couldn t do it. what did mary jo do when you were born? what is that? she cried. said she cried for nine months. with joy. well, joy came later. i would say consternation, pain, turmoil. comes and goes. self-hatred. anyh anyhow, mike allen, take it away. yeah. so for months, both president obama and speaker boehner wanted to avoid this confrontation for some of the reasons that you ve been talking about. mr. meacham was talking about how the republicans should have explained it better but the reason they haven t, speaker boehner wanted to avert his gaze from this. he wanted chairman issa over at the oversight committee to be doing this and for months, he pushed the committee to find some other way to deal with this, but they the leadership started getting increasing
About the taliban shooting up a lakeside resort outside of kabul, afghanistan, in which 14 or 15 civilians are killed and yet, it s safer per capty pa, you can prove this, it s safer living in kabul, afghanistan, than it is living in see ya dad juarez mexico right across our border and we pay zero attention to it. i think the fundamental question here about it is the republicans on the hill that needed to be telling this story better. i think that a lot of folks are hearing about this first and foremost as a subpoena showdown fight against the president, and then it moves into a political realm that is just chaotic. there s a basic narrative here that what s the story? what was fast and furious? what was fast and furious? what was the raid. matter of fundamental political
