now for a short break we'll continue our discussion on obama's nobel prize day with r.t. . if you can. twenty years ago our just country. seemed to. be. challenging. where did it take. a charming here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture. you can you. feel. you want to. welcome back to crossfire i'm curious about for a minute we're talking about obama's nobel peace prize. ok. but first let's see what russians think about all of this. two years ago the newly elected american president barack obama was awarded the nobel peace prize for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples but now as the u.s. into the beings in libya many wonder if this awards will be taking away the russian public opinion reserves and all citizens one thing to. do about libya so two percent of the respondents say liberal turmoil is exclusively domestic problem and foreign countries should not interfere and another. when the seven percent believe the international community should stop the civil war they are the ong

did obama trump trump, or did trump trump obama? pat and. >> trump forced the president into the press room, to get his birth certificate, said bring it back, and obama brought it back! trump won it hands down. >> you think it was a -- foregone conclusion that president obama would have to reveve -- >> nobody ended the argument, c would guess yes. on television, please reveal it and get it out of way. >> you think he brought it aliv-- >> i think he deliberately kt a it alive. i don't know y but he kept it alive too long and it gun to hurt him. >> do you think he knew all along that he could produce this birth certificate on call and he was saving it in order to direct the press to cover this and not cover say this weekend, like bernanke? >> no i think he was holding it off for some reason, i'm not sure which. people said it's an embarrassment, why should i do this? but he held it too long, three weeks ago he should have done it. >> three weeks ago or two days ago, it was a degrading thing for this president to get involved in. i'm g

you know a large portion of republicans will always question obama and the one thing that the obama administration needs to keep in mind is that regardless of what they do they're never going to change the republicans my. republicans are going to randomly wake up with one morning and have an epiphany and say you know what obama released the long form all of a sudden i'm going to vote for him it's not going to work that way obama needs to focus on his own base the majority of democrats and independents the majority of sane people in this country support him and know he's a u.s. citizen so he should just focus on that and stop trying to worry about you know convincing republicans that you know he's a us citizen and he's for bipartisanship all of this nonsense he needs to let it go i personally don't care what the republicans think if they want to question him being a u.s. citizen then they're just going to look like fools and clowns and have at it but i guess the bigger question here is is the need going to be able to let this go i think obama did a good job kind of digging at the media today saying

what is broke obama launches his bid for a second term the mood has changed. with those tears of joy turning to tears of frustration i feel hurt because people voted for him and he said all we're going to do this and we're going to do after like the guy has been slammed in a lot of people's faces real wallace mother of two with years of homelessness behind her was among the people who brought obama to the white house with her vote it's not because he was the first african-american president to be in the stands but as more of a change he says yes. i do believe that yes we can for quite a while then it's like. summer jobs for us is going down jobs are going down. gas is. four dollars now maria is one of many now wondering whether the campaign promises new jobs to be. used to build or nothing more. to do half of americans don't believe their president deserves a second term my heard the question change but i would not receive and i came to the realization actually middle actually help me understand what the democrats and the republicans are exactly the same worki

from the weekly standard ryan versus obama. the front page of "new york times" moving the agenda to the debt ceiling limit a vote that needs to take place as early as may 16. we heard from the treasury secretary from that. next on the agenda for washington fight over debt. she writes the congressional republicans are vowing before they will agree to raise the current 14.25 trillion dollar federal debt ceiling a step that will be necessary in favor weeks president obama and senate democrats will have to agree to deeper cuts for next year and beyond than those in the six-month deal agreed to cut $38 billion and avert a government shutdown. from fred barnes his piece is ryan versus obama will this ye year's main event." the section of the obama care at the white house healthcare summit february 25, 2010, elevated him to a stature in washington rare for house members. the summit lasted seven hours six minutes of analysis by ryan as president obama listened a few seats away broke the tedium. obama's reply is largely forgotten. he wa

>> i any obama say positive, optimistic guy. he fundamentally wants the american people to believe and feel like they are part of this lurching, beautiful democracy that we are all moving forward and that's very much how he's going to move forward the next few years. chris: do they think they can win this thing? >> they absolutely do. they're feeling very possive. chris: department the -- despite the numbers he's getting? >> yes. he made speeches to democratic partisan fundraisers this year. he did not go on the attack. he did not do the usual campaign style. chris: are they happy with the outlook for the candidates? can they beat the field they're looking at this year? >> one thing, well, they're extraordinarily concerned about the economy and the things going on in the middle east that could cause a spike in oil prices that could make it impossible for him to win. but the other is they say you have got to be kidding, our guy has so much more talent in his little finger than any of these and he will run them over. chris: there'

taxes obama plan, raises tax $1trillion. by 2023 ryan's plan cuts taxes but 2.3 trillion.

>> sean: obama has had the toughest presidency not reagan, not bush after 9/11, no obama has had the toughest job since fdr. how do we know? the suck up to obama media tells us. >> you can nick pick what happened in egypt and libya. in -- you can nitpick in what happened in egypt and libya. you said you can't recall a time where a president has faced a confluence of events like the confluence of events taking place now, explain. >> in my adult lifetime as a reporter, here you have a president who had two wars underway engaged in a third war. here at home, a recession that we cannot completely get out of yet. and political paralysis in washington over the budget. all that is has arrived at the oval office at the same time. >> sean: why don't we have his face on mount rushmore now? >> it is amazing. here's what is going on rush -- sean. they can't blame george bush any more. now they are blaming the world. now we are blaming events. three words, didn't barack obama get us out of iraq? didn't he say it was over? libya, he got us into that war. it is not somebody caused it. why don't the

. >> so obama? >> obama playing catchup. obama won. >>> g.o.p. 2012 fever! >> america's best days are still ahead. that's why today i'm announcing my exploratory committee for the presidency of the united states. >> former massachusetts republican governor mitt romney announced this week an exploratory committee to assist him in determining whether he should seek to become the official g.o.p. candidate to challenge barack obama for the office of president of the united states. that committee will doubtless focus on romney care. the massachusetts health care reform law enacted five years ago this week. the romney care law says that everyone in massachusetts must have health coverage, and that employers with 10 or more workers must make it available to those employees and must cover some of the romney care insurance costs. now, romney care closely mirrors obama care. many believe. and this will turn off republican primary voters, which means no g.o.p. official presidential candidate status for romney, maybe. question, in the eyes of the exploratory committee,

when will washington get the hint that they're not representing the average american then president obama is currently campaigning in california and yesterday he made a stop at the facebook headquarters so is this an attempt to get the young vote or just the money from silicon valley then people across the country are celebrating religious holidays this week whether it be passover or easter but today we'll tell you about another group holding a convention atheists and we'll speak to one of them and find out why they think they're the most picked on group in america and believe it or not some people are ok with the idea of torture a recent poll unveils which demographic thinks that it's acceptable to torture the enemy we'll have details on the poll and more importantly we want to know why some of these people think that these cruel actions aren't cause for concern that's later on the show but now let's move on to our top story. yesterday we reported to you the very sad news the tim hetherington a photojournalist and director of the academy award nominated documentary restrepo was killed in

president obama won't. he didn't last time. is this the end of public funding? >> it ended at the summer of 2008, when barack obama, because he could out raise john mccain, became the first president since richard nixon to run a privately-funded campaign. it imposed limits on what i could give to your campaign, but what also you as a candidate could spend. now the top is gone, the limits are off, and president obama's campaign is pledging to raise a billion dollars in 2012. >> when we combine with the candidates have done, like barack obama and others before him, and the united states who hascourt, gripped most of the regulations on spending completely off -- >> corporate spending. >> corporate spending and unions bennett, you cannot possibly take -- public take money -- union spending, but you cannot possibly take public money. i am not sure where that is right to go in terms of democracy. >> you can buy congressmen. it is hard to buy up president. i don't think this will cause candidates to go one way or the other eye policy terms. i think it is much more of a

but obama care is not going to defunded. that one will not survive. and i think planned parenthood, public radio and pell grants will be fine as well. and i think the u.s. institute of peace limps along. and michelle bachman won't vote for the final touch and the caulk us and house isn't that big some they can yell and scream i think the -- the guys have made a deal on capitol hill and the tea party will be great. >> look, $33 billion is basically two percent of the deficit, and it's one percent of the budget this year, $1.65 trillion deficit. but you're getting about as much as they can get unless they want to shut down the government. i think they have to accept that and the tea party folks have to be happy, but you get two more bites of the apple, the big budget for 2012, and you get the -- debt ceiling. >> are you saying that our current accounts deficit, current accounts deficit, it $1.65 trillion? >> it is. the budget deficit for this year. >> ending when? >> september 30th. >> what is the public debt. >> the public debt is different from the --

. >>> y antes que el presidente obama presentara su plan para reducir déficit, republicanos anunciaban su posición, y el alto precio de la gasolina, indica que la economía tiene el pie puesto en un tren. >>> este es su "noticiero univisión." >>> jorge ramos tiene el día libre, el hallazgo de más fosas clandestinas, estremece a méxico, encontraron tumbas en tamaulipas, sonora, el pueblo mexicano exige justicia, y se le complica el parorama al presidente calderón. >>> en los estados de sinaloa y sonora, entierran cuerpos, encontraron 4 cadáveres, y 3 personas en san luis, había dos mujeres. >>> tratar de reconstruir los hechos, y conectar con personas que hayan sido privadas de libertad. >>> madres de familia, lloran y se desmayan, suman 126 cuerpos hallados, hacen largas finas, buscando a un ser querido. >>> mi hijo es uno de ellos. >>> en san fernando, y lo bajaron del autobús. >>> gonzalo garcía casanova. >>> le confirmaron que es él>>> si, nos enseñaron la foto de él. >>> le el presidente calderón dijo que el "ya basta" colectivo debe ir a los criminales. >>> estamos e

now we know that there are a lot of changes coming up for the obama administration and for obama's national security team. but if the rumors are true then we may have a better idea of who exactly is going where and they are as reported several government officials say that general david petraeus is being seriously considered to be the next cia director and leon panetta current cia director will then be taking over for robert gates as secretary of defense now might just seem like a typical washington shuffling or wondering if a rumor of presidential run for betrayers has anything to do with it and of this would mean that the drone strike campaign will be taken to an entirely new and much more intense level joining with us as it is kevin zeese director of cumhal america dot us kevin thanks so much for joining us tonight first of all i guess these are rumors but do you buy it do you think that there is a big chance that petraeus might be going to the cia sure that's a real good possibility. has become much more active participant in the actual failure of wars you mentioned the drone strikes in

president obama would win again. they put enough money in that one program to give every man, woman, and child in the u.s. $1 million each. they could cut out medicaid. there are billions of dollars in programs like this every year. one program cut would give us what we need. host: harry reid was on "face the nation" yesterday, here is what he had to say. caller: by always look at the glass as half full. it is so easy to do, in washington terms. it is just a question of how we do it. we cannot do it on a program for little kids. as developed by president nixon or the first president bush, all of those programs have not contributed to the debt. let's look at the worker programs that contribute to the debt. host: that is where the funding comes from, in an annapolis we are talking about 2012 republicans. host: -- caller: you figure that a president, four years ago, accounting for the things that take two years to come to all this start with. once it gets accomplished there is so much information, he settles in and they

. >> muchas gracias, al volver de mensajes el presidente obama firma el acuerdo alcanzado en torno al presupuesto que representa el mayor recorte de gasto anual. el congresista gutiÉrrez prosigue en su empeÑo de buscar una reforma migratoria integral. >> el presidente obama hizo el corto viaje desde la casa blanca hasta el monumento a lincoln para dejar claro que los parques nacionales estÁn abiertos al pÚblico. un acuerdo alcanzado anoche evitÓ un cierre del gobierno que habrÍa clausurado sitios turÍsticos en todo el país, "este lugar sigue abierto hoy y todo el mundo puede disfrutar de su visita". el congresista gutiÉrrez no cesa en su empeÑo de buscar una reforma migratoria integral, hoy estuvo en un foro, pero como nos dice jaime garcÍa la relaciÓn con la casa blanca se han enfriado porque el presidente obama no cumplido con su propuesta migratoria. >> verdadera polÉmica han desatado las revelaciones que seÑalan que la casa blanca pidiÓ al congresista demócrata on participar junto al congresista gutiÉrrez en la misma conferencia de prensa donde se le pide el presi

never done anything many look at obama. obama had bad marks and he gets into harvard. he want a good student. he wasn't a genius. he had bad marks. it is a big story. everyone says how did he get into harvard, columbia? he doesn't release his marks. nobody knows his marks. everybody said his marks were lousy, yet he gets into harvard. this guy really is leading a charmed life. somebody said what is his biggest asset? he is luckily politically. he led a charmed life. the media is letting him get away with it. example, a better example, tony rezko, if you did tony rezko, you would be in jail. >> sean: i believe it. >> tony rezko is his mentor. was his big political contributor. there's another guy he dropped like a hot rock. you got reverand wright, bill ayers, tony rezko. he drops these guys and the press leaves him alone. he buys a house rezko who is in jail, a mobster, buys the lot next to him. i'm a great real estate guy. i made a lot of money, you will see maybe. you will be very impressed with my numbers i'm a really good real estate guy. he buys the lot next door.

the obama candidacy? now it's not sure obama and his administration did a lot of things wrong. we can talk about that during the question and answer period, i have any view, you are your view. we probably share a lot of views. just off the top of my head, i'll tell you i don't understand why he didn't try and affect a more rhetorically inspires presidency, the way that john kennedy and franklin roosevelt, and to be honest, ronald reagan did. i think he had that opportunity and that talent, and he chose not to do it. and there were other strategic mistakes undoubtedly that he made. but the problem with his inability to pass this legislation was not strategic errors by the president, or tactical errors by the president. and it didn't relate, necessarily, to the failure of his communications job. although there was a failure of his communications job. it related to fundamental roadblocks in the system that would face any president, any progressive president, trying to enact the kinds of promises that obama m

house of representatives that a congressman dennis because senator from ohio responded to president obama's war speech saying this. the sons and daughters of our constituents willingly put their lives on the line for this country we owe it to them to challenge a misguided and illegal doctrine which could put their lives in great danger this administration's new war doctrine well not lead to pace but to more war and it will stretch even better our military. congressman dennis kucinich joins me now to talk about this work congressman welcome back to our program tom thank you for the opportunity to be on again. we're honored to have you today on your floor speech you said that we are now in a constitutional crisis which is you mean by that the president has taken it upon himself to trump. article one section eight of the constitution which gives congress the war powers to claim for himself an executive privilege to war he's gone beyond the war powers act and the requirements of it he's even gone beyond the un mandate so what we have here is an executive who apparently doesn't have to pay atten

president obama didn't authorize libyan intervention. he would have essentially related every dictatgreenlighte use any measure necessary. we all want to get along but sometimes it is the only answer. >> we now have the opportunity to ask questions of the authors. as moderator i set that opportunity by asking one question of each author and opened the door to your question. let me start with evan thomas. pretty early 20th century war lovers unusually imperialists deck in their view of america and the world or do they show us ourselves in the mirror of history? >> they didn't like the word imperialists. they didn't call themselves imperialists. that was a european word. the americans had a more high-minded view of themselves. because of that they were conflicted. roosevelt was extraordinarily exuberant and had a view of war that is good for the american spirit and expansionism is good and makes us feel better and be stronger and more vigorous if we went to war but he was a little bit uncomfortable with this idea of ruling other races and

barack obama won two-thirds in those poll numbers are starting to soften, not just towards obama but towards the democrats ic party. and hispanics tend to be more culturally conservative, values of hard work and faith and family. those are the kinds of things that the republicans really kneeled to put extra effort into, speaking to the hispanic community, saying your values are our values, and here's why. >> welcom . >> thank you. >> do you center any comments? want to agree or disagree? >> it's true that hispanic community is not as monolithic as the black community, but you have to look at also aspects of the hispanic community which have nothing in common with each other. puerto ricans in new york have almost nothing in common outside of common language with cubans in miami. politically cubans in miami, i'm from miami, group there, and we know that cubans in miami have tend today vote republican in just about every election. dough men cons in new york, necks cans in texas, california, south americans also come here. vote very differently if they do vote and of course puerto ricans

obama visits israel. it doesn't take long after he leaves israel before winning the election. then the attack on the israeli settlement and israel begin and they are unrelenting. one after another after another. i don't think i need to list all of them to you but there is one i want to play for you. i want to play the one state. beyond president obama telling the u.n. he doesn't accept the legitimacy of the settlement. it's the statement that comes one after another from members of his own administration. they openly deliver blatantly insensitive and highly out of line antisemitic comments. like this one. here you are going to see somebody using the arabic term for jerusalem, which kind of means to the arab world that jerusalem doesn't exist. here he is. >> in all my travels the city i have come to love most. jerusalem. >> alcuds. that is a slam to anybody who is jewish and lives in israel. they did several antisemitic jokes. a lot of them over and over again that seems out of place, and no one reports on

you guys welcome to shell and tell the obama show we've heard our guests talk to say on the topic now i want to hear audio just go on you tube his video response or the twitter profile of the questions that we post on you tube every monday and on thursday the show long response is. the. hardest time for tonight's tool time award and it goes to arianna huffington the self-proclaimed progressive just recently sold her website the huffington post to a.o.l. for three hundred fifteen million dollars and as part of that deal she gets to be in control of all efforts. real content for al well now for anyone who's ever been to her site well you can tell that it's left leaning or you can just plain call it lefty and in fact this site has been a voice for the left for years and home to numerous well known lefty bloggers but over the weekend arianna did an interview with the new york times well the first note it is quite obvious the new york times are not fans of each other when you read it first ari on his cue to bill keller and now we have this so andrew goldman of the new york times asked aria

president barack obama is still an honorable recipient of the nobel peace prize to be fair game here to two wars from assuming office. the world. bringing you the latest in science and technology from around the world. we've got the jerk covered. from. me it is easy to. see. elite. player at. the. way i. play it was. kick. start. low and welcome to cross talk i'm peter lavelle is u.s. president barack obama still an honorable recipient of the nobel peace prize to be fair he inherited two wars but assuming office but he is also a new war on his watch and that is libya should obama's peace prize be revoked and should politicians from future consideration. can start. to discuss the issues around barack obama's nobel peace prize i'm joined by bill snyder in washington he's a distinguished senior fellow and resident scholar at third way in london we have to take ali he is a writer and filmmaker and in knoxville we have john williams he is the editor and publisher of new millennium writings and another member of our cross talk team deal on hunger right gentlemen this is cross talk that mea

it over wrong the barack obama and the democrats the sweepings of power with the promise of oil and shine a citizens' uprising called the tea party movement and the message was known to be government spending to health care and climate change legislation and no to himself obama because if you think if they believe it because it's been to use into a bomb this president's tea party endorsed candidates and moved to sweep the republicans to victory in the house of representatives thirty two percent of the candidates who were elected last night across this country are affiliated with the tea party there's a sheep already tell it all way and we're sending a message to. them both see it as a repudiation of the president and his policies. what does it feel like. feels bad . i came to the united states to examine the tea party the nominee and in particular the accusations that the protesters were pawns in a covert power play by small group of billionaires and corporate players they're recruiting their. to do the bidding of corporate america this is not some corporate sponsored thing these citizens

start with what's true and what's not president obama was forthright. telling american the world why we must intervene in libya what might disagree with his decision but who can do that the evidence that he used to build the case to oppose the bloodbath it was everywhere before our eyes this was not true of bush and iraq eight years ago the comparison as i say is odious the reasons bush concocted for going to war didn't pass the sniff test bush and cheney told the world that iraqi leader saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction that he was giving them to terrorists that we be greeted as liberators they had a broadly that saddam was and i'm not eleven and none of this was true now with my friends on the right what you believe bush and cheney are such things in good space . they're welcome to that but still these were some obvious lies manifestly time for bribery a man curveball code named curveball just last and the recent few weeks has acknowledged that he lied. there was a lot of evidence that a man named al libi lied and probably ok but you know

might finally push obama. high pressure is mounting there's a lot of things going on in dish and this letter this low is signed by some the top legal academics in the country all the top was schools in the country are represented and what they call a family man is to the department of defense to defend their position openly and if it can stand up on the fence in the light of day and change his condition that's a pretty mild request a pretty reasonable request in some part of the presence not done yet so i think they're requesting a good one i think is a powerful group of people and coming at the same time as he would write a report by china which really outlines in great detail so many problems in american culture with well asian rates and probably the same time that we're seeing the u.s. reporter and human rights the investigator of human rights violations and torture for the u.n. denied access to bradley manning it's all building to a crescendo of serious pressure and i hope president obama does a rape me. s

obama stepped off air force one at 1:09 p.m. he walked over to meet a selected few who were allowed out on the tarmac. then off to marine one for the short helicopter flight to facebook in palo alto. that only took about six minutes. the event at facebook was billed as a town hall and lasted about an hour. but as ktvu's ken prichett reports while the talk focused on the economy it also helped with the election campaign. >> reporter: mark zuckerburg appeared nervous taking the stage and he confirmed as much. >> i'm kind of nervous. we have the president of the united states here. >> the president entered to applause and quickly opened with a joke to start the hour- long event. >> my name is barack obama and i'm got the guy who got mark to wear a jacket and tie. >> mr. obama took questions from the audience and from users watching the town hall streamed live on facebook. the president was focused on the economy and his plan to reduce the deficit by raising taxes on the wealthy. >> that allows people like me, and frankly you, mark,

now after a short break we'll continue our discussion on obama's nobel prize stage with r.t. . if you. still. want. twenty years ago in our just country. to talk to. you. how did. you. get the job. where did it take. you. to. to. feel you can. feel the we'll. welcome back to crossfire i'm curious about true mind you were talking about obama's nobel peace prize. but first let's see what russians think about all of this should it mirror moved two years ago the newly elected american president barack obama was awarded with the nobel peace prize for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples but now as the u.s. intervenes in libya many want it so once again taking away the russian public opinion reserves son also such as us wanting to know so prudish should do adults libya so two percent of the respondents say libyan turmoil is exclusively domestic problem and foreign countries should not interfere and another try. the seven percent believe into this whole community. to stop the civil war they are the ongoing conflict in libya ha

is that is how much money president obama hopes to raise. we tell you the dent he made in that from events in san francisco coming up. >>> popular san jose dog park opens today after officials find no evidence of poison that many thought killed a dog over the weekend. >> i'm terry mcsweeney live at city hall. the announcement is coming today to allow you to find parking spot easier and clear the air at the same time. the world is watching. coming up in a live report. >> in real time as well. >>> 6:01. thank you for joining us. kristen is off today. in the news, president obama visit ends with a fundraising breakfast. it will be his third fundraiser in two days. amy hollyfield is live in san francisco. the president raised a lot of money in the two-day swing. >> he has. after breakfast, he should leave san francisco with $3 million. looking good for the trip in san francisco. last night he spoke before a crowd of 2,500 at the masonic auditorium. it ranged from election campaign to budget. >> if we want to reduce our deficit, we need to cut sp

did you catch obama's speech yesterday well if you did it don't worry you didn't miss much for a more significant analysis of the budget debate on capitol hill turning to dawn herald tonight a guest who nominated adam vs the man dot com we'll also get an insider's look at the military commissions from one of the military prosecutors of the detainees at guantanamo bay time me up with a dark turn all the strobes and craig of the metallica you're watching adam vs the man. speaking of president obama's speech yesterday apparently rachel maddow who recently flirted with being a principled critic of president obama seems to me back in love this does not sound like barring burning stuff but the point president obama is making here is exactly the point that the president's supporters have been waiting for him to make if only he was doing the things his supporters were waiting for him to do mean while vice president biden took advantage of the opportunity to knock off for at least thirty seconds during the president's speech yesterday if george washington university officially titled the count

obama in person. if they have a chance to meet him, they want to talk issues. >> people grow up in our neighborhood. and they don't have goals for themselves. so, i would like for them to have goals for a better chance. like a second chance at education. and more jobs. yeah. that would be the main topic i would talk about. >> reporter: those kids talked about the need to fund summer school and improve school lunches while they painted. the bay area is full of president obama supporters. but even people picking up tickets for his first campaign speech for the 2012 election, are looking for the hope they held on to in 2008. traffic up here on nob hill will be a mess for most of the day. there's already parking restrictions in place. protesters are expected to begin arriving at 4:00. and the president is expected to speak here at 8:00. >>> here's the itinerary. mr. obama expected to arrive at sfo tomorrow afternoon. the first order of business, a visit to facebook headquarters in palo alto. he has 1,900

qaida so bring you details on this ruling and will determine if it's just another glaring example of obama going back on his promise about closing guantanamo bay next we'll look into how the mainstream media is covering libya when m s n b c hosts a very strong statements on the show last night which lead us to ask if the mainstream media is choosing partisanship over analysis and then could there really be a silver lining to the budget bickering in congress the democrats and republicans may have finally reached an agreement about probably won't make the tea party very happy considering that they took their anger to d.c. to protest today so what's going to happen next we'll find out the answer to that and much more and tonight's show but first our top story. nato has now officially taken sole command for air strikes over libya and they debuted a brand new flashy title operation a unified protector. but this operation seems to be anything but unified with the international community's split on whether or not to arm the rebels or how else to get gadhafi to go along the higher power squabble a

president obama has entered the fray. he is rolling out his own approach by attacking what he is calling extreme republican plans. >> even though americans cannot afford to invest in education, clean energy, and have our commitment on medicare and medicaid, we can afford more than $1 trillion in new tax breaks for the wealthy. >> nobody will be spare the pain to achieve his goal of a $4 trillion cut in the u.s. deficit. his opponents have already said no to any tax increases. >> we cannot tax the people we expect to reinvest in our come -- the economy and create jobs. washington has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. >> on both sides agree that the nation is sliding towards bankruptcy. the u.s. government is spending far more than it earns in taxes. this year, the deficit will reach $1.60 trillion. there is a ballooning debt, now over $14 trillion. with three wars underway and concerns about a fragile economic recovery, president obama is under pressure from all sides including his base. >> what we are afraid of i

president obama making facebook friends in the bay area today. and how you can get your questions answered. >>> good morning, it is wednesday, the 20th of april. i'm sydnie kohara. >> hi, everybody. i'm frank mallicoat. time now is 5:00. we're going to the as game today. >> yeah. >> boston red sox. we are going to get a little wet? >> bring the umbrella. bring a hat and a light jacket. it's not going to be a rainout but plan on having a couple of showers outside. we are seeing some of that making its way onshore right now but you can see really noel defined long line on frontal system, just a few scattered light showers or sprinkles showing up around the bay area now. it looks like that will continue on and off throughout the day, maybe picking up toward the afternoon. we'll have more on that in just a moment. right now let's get a check of traffic with gianna. >> wind advisory this morning. only trouble spot on the benicia benicia. so chp says use caution on the span but here's live look not too bad still very light. not a lot of cars on the roa

president obama really has to do this. what does president obama have to lift every weight in washington? hold your own, harry. get your caucus together and say, we're not going to do $33 billion worth of cuts. because you're going to have to go home and explain cuts that are going to really hurt a lot of americans who helped put president obama and the democrats in power in the senate. i don't think americans want these kind of cuts. there is a huge difference between $10 billion and $33 billion. there's going to be a political back lash to this. and right now here you have boehner in a tight spot because he's answering to the radicals. make him answer to the radicals. it's his problem. it's not our problem. and don't turn and say, well we got to hear more from the white house. no you don't. you have the majority, democrats. you have the votes to sit there and say across the board we're not going to do this. we are not going to hurt americans. you know why? because republicans, we gave you everything you wanted during the

welcome to the new america guilty until proven innocent i hope obama didn't learn that at harvard law above his recent statements about bradley manning show a new contempt for the american constitution that even i didn't think it was capable of what does this mean for whistleblowers don't say anything or obama will have you strip down to your underwear and placed into solitary confinement we've got the man who put obama on the spot logan price joining us from san francisco we'll talk whistleblowing with kevin zeese and to manson and jake and i will sit down lieutenant colonel anthony shaffer the man whose book was so good the pentagon try to buy every copy yes i'd like to honor p.f.c. manning but contrary to rumor and request i won't be doing it by delivering tonight's show my underwear you're welcome and you're watching out of versus the man. the way. every politician will tell you they support people within the government speaking out against wrongdoing within government whistleblowers those who have the courage to stand up to their chain of command or supervisors to get the truth o

so they're going to vote for obama and since obama already knows he has their votes now he can focus on people that are a little shaky maybe the independents maybe the people that are unsure of who they're going to vote for during the next election so it's really a difficult situation because it's hard for voters to hold obama accountable if they have no other choice. yeah i definitely am with you there and i think that they they have that feeling they think that some of these voters that are on board just count they think that a lot of fear will play into it and i think that's what we see out of this new election you know that obama has launched with this new video it's really not even about candidate obama it's not about inspiring people anymore it's just kind of well you know that's the logical thing to do because it's your responsibility and think of what could be worse but i find that so frustrating me isn't there something we can do so way we can fight back i don't want to hear about my responsibility to go out and vote from somebody who in my opinion didn't live up to his resp

and when they voted for obama, it was okay for black people to support obama. because before that they supported hillary clinton. so that's actually just an example of the arrogance we face. i hear that all the time. i wrote this piece in "the new york times" about the white progressives is that how can you say you're his base, he's annoyed you? he's 90% among african-american support. so i have one of these markist/leninist -- i know he doesn't want to call himself that, but that's what he is basically. you know, saying african-americans are delusional. they voted for barack obama, he says, well, they're delusional. 65% of latinos are for barack obama. he carried the asian-american vote. you know, people marginalize asian americans, they'll let you in 20 years when they have a big population burst. why? they're arrogant. it's an example of the arrogance when they say we're his base, and he ought to do this, he ought to get a public option. and he's got this hostile congress, you know? and these -- he's got these blue dogs, all these people on the payroll. coin

under obama would be less support a visit of israel as you probably saw the obama did cast a veto on a pretty pretty watered down resolution that basically would have just said that settlements built by israel on occupied palestinian land are violations of international law and that's true in that it is a violation of law to build to put your people into occupied land but i think the about you know this is i think one way to understand is that israel for whatever reason is probably the number one foreign policy issue of the united states certainly of the congress for a variety of reasons and so they see the u.n. just through that prism i mean it although there's a lot of discussion of israel at the u.n. it's by no means the only thing in fact there's a lot of the security council meets eighty percent of the time about countries in africa that probably very rarely get discussed in congress right and i want to ask you to because one of if you think that coming out was the night of employment that the united states had any when i compared to the amount that it runs the u.n. and should t
