Gregory:
OMG some reporter asked
Obama
if this is the worst year of
his
Presidency ha ha ha
Dionne:
no his worst year was 2011
Navarro:
it was so bad by next year
Obama
will be drinking whiskey!
Brooks:
Worst. Year. Ever
Gibbs:
he might start drinking
whiskey
to celebrate the growing economy
Gregory:
Chuck even the liberal
Wall
Street Journal says
Obamacare
is failing
Schumer:
Obamacare is a great law
and
most people care about the economy
Gregory:
Tom Coburn how you answer
the
charge that Obamacare is bad?
Coburn:
I must reluctantly agree
that
Obamacare is terrible
Gregory:
that must have been
hard
for you to admit
Coburn:
we have been demanding exceptions
and
now I can't believe Obama has
granted
all these exceptions
Gregory:
it's outrageous
Schumer:
Obamacare is working in
New
York state buddy
Gregory:
there has been some bipartisan
agreement
but here's the bottom line –
Congress
hasn't take on the hard stuff
Coburn:
the problem isn't when we
disagree
it's when we agree to spend
$80
billion on fraud for Obamacare
which
are guaranteed to have
Gregory:
will we have another
fight
over the debt ceiling?
Schumer:
the GOP has learned
its
lesson on that
Gregory:
Obama said you're trying
to
look tough on Iran
Schumer:
the best way to get Iran to
give
up nukes is to increase sanctions
– it's
simple and logical
Gregory:
right
Schumer:
we have to be tough!
Gregory:
thanks for coming – happy holidays
Coburn:
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Gregory:
Madame how about
the
U.S. economy?
Legarde:
we sign a lot of good signs
Gregory:
a lot of people are worried
about
what the Fed is doing and by a
lot
of people I mean my Republican friends
Lagarde:
tapering is a good sign
Gregory:
sure the numbers make Obama
look
good but our animal spirits are not roaring
Lagarde:
merde! Are you stupide or zomething
Gregory:
je ne sais quoi
Lagarde:
unemployment iz going down
Gregory:
what about the minimum
wage
and inequality?
Lagarde:
income inequality is important
in
that it leads to less growth which
hurts
rich people
Gregory:
Is American the world's economic
leader
or are led by irresponsible idiots?
Lagarde:
both
Gregory:
what about the debt ceiling
Lagarde:
I hope American doez not
flirt
with default
Gregory:
why aren't more women managers?
Lagarde:
it's historically based male chauvinism
Gregory:
sounds right
Lagarde:
promoting women makes
economic
sense all over the world
Gregory:
are you running for President of France?
Lagarde:
mon dieu! non
Gregory:
but you wouldn't rule it out?
Lagarde:
you are a very silly person
Gregory:
that wasn't Shermanesque!
[

Gregory:
Inhofe is a passionate pilot
but
last month his son died in plane crash
Inhofe:
we're not sure what went wrong
Gregory:
how are you doing?
Inhofe:
you don't how it feels
until
it happens to you
Gregory:
you have a strong faith
Inhofe:
yes
Gregory:
we hear in Washington nothing
gets
done but you got a lot of support
from
your colleagues
Inhofe:
I got as much or more
support
from my Democrat friends
Gregory:
even Harry Reid
Inhofe:
indeed
Gregory:
can you bring this
good
feeling to you work
Inhofe:
yes but many liberals still
think
we don't need a strong military
Gregory:
what's your biggest challenge
Inhofe:
coping with loss
[
break ]
Gregory:
as a person of faith I am
impressed
with Inhofe but it's sad that
we
were surprised that Democrats
offered
him support
Navarro:
let's take politics out of this
man's
death in a plane crash
Gregory:
I can't
[
break ]
Gregory:
OMG the health care website
was
botched! What makes you think
2014
will be better??
Gibbs:
because the website was fixed
Brooks:
the American people don't like
individual
mandates anymore ever
since
a Democrat was reelected
Dionne:
Obamacare is a Republican
market-oriented
model for
health
care reform
Brooks:
but that was Obama endorsed it
and
Republicans hated their plan
Dionne:
oh right I forgot
Gregory:
Edmund Burke said
government
is bad
Navarro:
I am very worried that
people
don't trust Obama anymore
Dionne:
this is insane! Every advanced
country
but America uses government
to
deliver health care!
Gibbs:
also there is GOP no alternative
Navarro:
yes but people will
still
be sick and hate
Gregory:
isn't the crux of the matter
that
people hare
Brooks:
America is not France –
we
just don't like people telling us what to do
Dionne:
no one wants to repeal Medicare
Gregory:
some people do
Navarro:
Obamacare is like the
hispanic saying that the
cure
is worse than the disease
Gibbs:
hispanics want health too
Navarro:
but Obama was slow in
building
a spanish language website
to
give health care to people!
Dionne:
yes we're all familiar with
the
Republican website in Spanish
to
give people health care
Gregory:
some guy on Duck Dynasty
hates
gays and think civil rights laws
were
bad for black people
Brooks:
he's disrespectful and
not
terribly Christian
Gregory:
but he's a victim of political
correctness
and conservatives are a
held
to a double standard!
Dionne:
no that's totally false
conservative
spin Fluffy
Navarro:
there is no Constitutional
right
to say stupid stuff and
still
host a tv show
Gregory:
there isn't – oh shit
Gibbs:
no there isn't – networks
pay
you to be their face
in-between
advertisements
Gregory:
wow an Obama panel recommends
changes
to surveillance programs
Gregory:
Ed Snowden wrote a letter
saying
he revealed worldwide surveillance
King:
Ed Snowden is a traitor
Gregory:
is Snowden right that
surveillance
is collapsing?
King:
why we are debating what Snowden
is
saying is totally beyond me
Leahy:
Snowden is irrelevant –
we
need to limit the NSA
Gregory:
what about metadata?
Leahy:
the NSA let a 29-year old
contractor
steal all their stuff!
Gregory:
what about metada?
Leahy:
we need spying but we
also
need accountability
King:
there were no abuses!
There's
nothing to rein in!
Gregory:
but abuse could happen
King:
police could abuse their
powers
too but they don't
Gregory:
no?
King:
no Fluffy!
Gregory:
what about dialing
back
foreign surveillance?
Leahy:
a 29-year old subcontractor
stole
their secrets!
Gregory:
you said that already
Leahy:
I did?
Gregory:
why not limit the NSA?
Leahy:
I tried but can't
King:
dammit – I lost friends on 9/11!!
we
can't unilaterally surrender to the terrorists!
Brooks:
if Dwight Eisenhower were
here
he would be outraged and
suggest
slight changes to surveillance
Brooks:
but Snowden is not a
hero
he's a traitor
Gregory:
why can't Congress
conduct
reasonable rational
oversight
over national security
Navarro:
what are you drinking
and
I can I have some
Dionne:
after 9/11 we all went crazy
and
now we're calming down
Gibbs:
why not house phone information
with
phone companies and then
access
it with a warrant?
Gregory:
my sister-in-law is a cop
and
she says its all good
Navarro:
privacy vs security
is
a tough nut to crack
Gregory:
this was great episode –
I
got to mention my sister in law and Edmund Burke!
