O'Donnell:
Boehner and Obama
used
to be friends – now Obama sticking
with
his year of action

Obama is not faithful [ weeps ]
Obama:
this is a stupid stunt!
O'Donnell:
they're not longer BFFs
Gregory:
what's up with this lawsuit?
Ruemmler:
to say this is frivolous
is an insult to frivolity
is an insult to frivolity
Gregory:
I like frivolity
Ruemmeler:
I'm sure
Gregory:
so how about impeachment?
Ruemmler:
um yeah that's a good idea
Gregory:
yeah but Obama tweaked
Obamacare and limited carbon emissions
Obamacare and limited carbon emissions
Ruemmler:
you say that but Boehner
announced
he was suing but is still
looking
for reasons which is odd
Gregory:
well used to practice
with Green & Fazio
with Green & Fazio
[
voice over ] I'd like to sue someone
but don't I need a reason?
but don't I need a reason?
Gregory:

Todd:
the Clintons were broke and
are
now worth $100 million which
is
too much money to run for President
Schmidt:
Clinton is out of touch
like
Al Gore and John Kerry
Dunn:
Americans don't mind wealthy
people
they just don't like assholes
Todd:
in 2007 Obama said he used
to
be poor proving Hillary Clinton is out of touch
Gregory:
so Hillary is out of touch!
Todd:
however polls says people
do
not think she is out of touch
Gregory:
well pooh
[
break ]
Gregory:
you understand why Hillary
is
in trouble for saying she was dead broke
Clinton:
I understand you are shallow idiot
Gregory:
meanie
Clinton:
what she said is factually true
Gregory:
yes but she is out of touch
Clinton:
she is not out of touch -
you're out of touch
you're out of touch
Gregory:
no you're out of touch
Clinton:
back in the 1970s Hillary was
helping poor people and troubled
mothers what were you doing
helping poor people and troubled
mothers what were you doing
Gregory:
the funky chicken
Clinton:
you probably went to Studio 54
wearing
a plaid jacket asking is Evel Knivel
was
bad for Jimmy Carter in 1980
Gregory:
so you think I'm unfair
Clinton:
oh don't even try that Fluffy
Gregory:
don't try what?
Clinton:
I was the poorest President
ever
in 1992 and now I'm doing well
but
I still shop at my little corner grocery store
except
I have Secret Service and $100 million
Gregory:
do you still never federal protection?
Clinton:
Hillary won't let me go
anywhere without them
anywhere without them
Gregory:
the issue is you have too
much
money to be President
Clinton:
the real issue is is she aware
of
the struggles of millions of Americans
Gregory:
so you're saying the
Obama economy sucks
Obama economy sucks
Clinton:
Obama pulled us out of a
Depression
and his policies weren't
even
fully implemented
Gregory:
so you're blaming John Boehner
Clinton:
I'm saying we should have invested
in
America back when interest rates were low
Gregory:
okay but but-
Clinton:
the GOP hates government
unless it's something they want
unless it's something they want
Gregory:
I suppose but-
Clinton:
look at GOP flip-flops on the
Export Import Bank
Export Import Bank
Gregory:
Iraq: it's baaack
Clinton:
oh cripes
Gregory:
Dick Cheney says America is
less
safe because of Obama –
is
Dick Cheney a credible critic?
Clinton:
if he hadn't started a war in Iraq
none
of this would be happening right now
Gregory:
not even a war in Syria
Clinton:
Dick Cheney has made a
career out of blaming people for not
fixing the mess he made
career out of blaming people for not
fixing the mess he made
Gregory:
what is America's role in the world? Also Benghazi!
Clinton:
ten embassies were attacked
when
Bush was President and where
was the GOP outrage?

Gregory:
is Hillary going to run?
Clinton:
I'm just a bit player [ laugh ]
Gregory:
really?
Clinton:
I believe Hillary is the most
gifted public servant I've known but it
has to be her decision
gifted public servant I've known but it
has to be her decision
Gregory:
right
Clinton:
the important question is –
why
do want to be President
and
what would you do
Gregory:
is it time to give pot a chance?
Clinton:
we should leave it to the states
Gregory:
Colorado legalized it
Clinton:
there's pot and then there's pot
Gregory:
is Hillary Clinton too rich to be President?
Priebus:
yes – flying on a private
jet is unseemly
jet is unseemly
Gregory:
exactly
Priebus:
I think people are tired the Clintons
Gregory:
are people tired of the Bushes too?
Priebus:
no because they not
obnoxious like the Clintons are
obnoxious like the Clintons are
Gregory:
they're not?
Priebus:
no Bill is out there criticizing
Dick
Cheney just because Dick invaded
a
country by mistake – what a hypocrite!
Gregory:
who among us has not
invaded a nation of 30 million by
mistake and without a plan
invaded a nation of 30 million by
mistake and without a plan
Priebus:
exactly! Like this morning
I
poured decaf by mistake! Same thing!
Gregory:
what is the GOP foreign policy?
Priebus:
Obama is weak and procrastinates
but
Republicans decisively launch wars without thinking
Gregory:
some would say he's prudent
Priebus:
but he drew a red line
in
Syria and didn't bomb them
Gregory:
but he got all the Syria
chemical weapons without firing a shot
chemical weapons without firing a shot
Priebus:
I don't know that
Gregory:
so if you don't know
for
you all you know it's true
Priebus:
Benghazi!
Gregory:
Boehner is suing he President
Priebus:
the Constitution gives power to
'we
the people' so Obama technically
should
not even be in office
Gregory:
Thad Cochran got elected
with
Democratic votes –
is
the GOP cracking up?
Priebus:
I love primaries
Gregory:

threatened
lawsuit
Duffy:
Obama has seized more
power
than has ever happened
in
the history of the nation
Ruemmler:

Gregory:
but what if a Republican
President
unilaterally halted Obamacare?
Ruemmler:
well then the hand
would
be on the other foot
Duffy:
Obama is waiving welfare
reform so what's to stop him from
rounding us up and putting us all in
FEMA concentration camps?
reform so what's to stop him from
rounding us up and putting us all in
FEMA concentration camps?

this battle gins up supports
from
conservatives and liberals

Boehner and Obama
probably
agreed the lawsuit
was
good for both of them
Duffy:
also all liberals are losers

the IRS are so arrogant
making
me pay taxes when I
already
paid them last year

the IRS is a little
tone-deaf but that's all

Duffy:
we know the IRS targeted
right-wing
groups
Gregory:
we don't know that
Duffy:
well maybe they did
Mitchell:
maybe the IRS is just incompetent

Ruemmler:
there's no evidence of
any
political targeting

but not a weak government
that
cripples the SEC and
allows a financial crisis
