Baseball was, is and always will be the best game in the world.
Babe Ruth
I Believe
I believe in the love of God,
the power in glory forever,
the importance of success,
the wisdom of elders,
the effort in hard work,
God, Family, Sports,
But the belief in that you don't have to strive
For your goals is just courageous.
I believe in the truth that will set free,
I believe in love that will conquer all,
I believe in respect for others,
Hope, Joy, Love,
And I believe in the fact that tomorrow isn't promised to you.
My Personal Credo
My credo is about how the love of life is being lived. My grandmother once told me, "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." Taking her advice, I began to develop a code of beliefs, a personal credo.
Life has presented me with several challenges that I could not control. I did, however, control my reaction and kept a cool head. When my dad left my family, I decided that instead of getting angry at the world for making me a fatherless boy, I would become the "man of the family."
In another less serious event of my life, someone who I thought was my friend started spreading rumors about me. Even though I wanted to fight him, I decided to talk it out. In the end, he ended up apologizing and telling everyone the rumors were false.
I will continue to follow this belief of self-control because I have found that it leads to more positive results than just reacting without self-control.
Up until this point, my grandmother's advice has made a very positive difference in my life. It has helped me shape my personal credo, which helps me make good decisions. Through developing self-control in my reactions to uncontrollable situations, trying to always do the right thing so I never have regrets, and knowing that there is a purpose in all this madness I call my life, I have made positive decisions that have led me to be the successful person I am today.

HIV Prevention
Don't you want to have fun in your life? Most people do by going to amusement park others will have sex. A high majority of these people will have protected sex, but some of them will not and that's the problem. The best way to prevent yourself for HIV is to wear a condom, you can't change that.
HIV is the deadliest disease the human kind encountered and the reason of its deadly power is that it's easily passed from one person to another. HIV can only be spread by the contact of blood, semen, breast milk or vaginal fluid of a person who's already infected with HIV. It's also known to be called the HIV transmission. The most common way to get HIV is by having unprotected sex (no condom) because a contact can be made with one of the fluid of the infected person. The best way to block this contact is by introducing a barrier so that all the point of entries where you could be vulnerable to get HIV will be blocked.
Another common way is by using shared drug injection equipment like syringes and needles. If you do not use new needles for example, you increase your chance to get HIV because you can't know if the person who used it before you was infected. Is there a solution to this problem? Yes and its simple. Simply use new equipment if you have to inject yourself so that your risks of getting infected are nil.
Finaly, be careful when you're having sex and when you're using injection equipment.

When developing app for Windows Embedded CE 6.0 or Windows Embedded Compact 7, you need to establish a connection between your target and your development environment (Visual Studio). To establish the connection and exchange info with the dev tools, WE CE 6.0 and WEC7 leverage a feature called "Core Connectivity" (CoreCon).
Usually you would have CoreCon binaries downloaded and started automatically by the tools through a connection pre-established like ActiveSync. But if you don't have ActiveSync in your OS image, then you need to download the right binaries on the target and start CoreCon manually… worst: if you've to reboot your image between two debug sessions, you've to redo the whole process.
So developers often set their image to include the corecon components (copied from the VS smart device development files) and automatically start the connectivity at boot time," explains Microsoft.
To facilitate this setup, the embedded101 have released a couple of great powertoy on codeplex that support both CE 6.0 and WEC7 and multiple CPUs.
CoreCon4CE: this Catalog component that adds the right Corecon binaries to your OSDesign.
AutoLaunch4CE: this Catalog component allows to automatically launch the application of your choice.

Margaret walked down a dirt path that lead to The Forest of Codes. It was a place for digimon where they would relax. But Margaret was walking there for a different reason, her brothers and sisters were being held captive by Omnimon X. The X-Virus form of Omnimon. As her partner Agumon strolled beside her he had Pride's Fire in his eyes. Only that could be in a fierce and determined digimon. As Margaret stopped, Agumon kept going.
Margaret said,Agumon stop!!
What is it?Agumon stopped and ran back to Margaret.
She took out her digivice and smiled. Agumon nodded his head. They Both blurted out: Digivolve! Agumon immediately digivolved into Omnimon. Margaret got on Omnimons back and they flew into the starry sky over The Forest of Codes. Margaret looked at the coded moon of the digital world. But then Omnimon spotted Omnimon-X. He flew down and landed in front of her siblings.
Omnimon-X said very sarcastically,The girl is a small price to pay for five, but I'll be glad to take her.
Omnimon put Margaret down and told his virus,Over my code will I give her to you!
Omnimon-X smiled,That can be arranged!
They both popped out their swords and clashed in combat. Margaret helped her siblings out of the rope they were tied in. The other digimon digivolved into the royal knights. But before they could help Omnimon their viral twins jumped out of the trees.
Magnamon-X said to his twin,It seems that you have big mouths Royal Knights. Can You protect yourselves as you do these Dactals!?
All of them battled their other selves. Then a fire broke out from attacks. Digimon started running out of the forest. Margaret saw a code lift from the ground. Her siblings watched the code lift from the ground.
This code its mine. Omnimon-X lifted his sword and took in the code of the forest.Now we must go.
And like they came they left in a transport. The siblings were once standing in a forest. Now they are standing in a white area filled with nothing.
Omnimon stood on one knee in front of Margaret and said,I'm sorry your highness I couldn't save it in time.
Margaret put her hand on his shoulder and replied,It's alright Omnimon, we'll get the code back. And destroy your counterparts.
Omnimon stated,I know, but I thought I could stop them before the code emerged.
The Knights reverted back into rookies and they all left for the castle.

I just signed up for CakeCentral, and got so many great ideas - what a wonderful resource for a beginner like me! I have no formal training, but I hope to take some Wilton classes soon because my hobby is really taking off!
Here's a picture of the cake I made this week for a bake sale raffle at work... basic yellow butter cake, and pure cane sugar for sand over buttercream icing. tootsie roll tree with gum paste leaves and beach bum. Basic poured sugar for "water" was a first for me - I'm so happy with the outcome. We made a couple hundred dollars on this one cake alone... totally worth the small amount of time and money I spent making it!
Thanks again!
Paula - aka, BabyCake2009
Great Job! I'm a newbie too and I love how you can pretty much find an answer for any question you may have. I just finished taking the Wilton Classes last month and I loved it.
Great Job, but beware . . . . this site is highly addictive!!!!!!!!!!!!! So many great ideas here, am sure you will be addicted for life!!!!!! Happy caking

Students Getting Free Lunch
We love this school! Widewater is an excellent school. Our son has attended Widewater for the past two years (Kindergarten and 1st grade) and have found that the teachers are very attentive to the childrens needs and their education. The curriculum is excellent; my son arrives from the school excited to learn new things and I am always amazed at what they are teaching them a such a young age. As volunteers, we see first hand what the daily agendas are and the effort that the staff puts into every child. I would recommend this school to anyone. The staff is friendly and it is evident that their students interests are their priority.
This school has a very poor special education program and policy. I have a special needs son that qualified for services immediately in other districts, however, Widewater has fought me tooth and nail over every single issue they could possibly fight over. Other parents have also told me that the curriculum is totally inadequate. Kindergarteners still learning letters, colors and shapes (rather than any sort of reading skills), and much of the school caters to minorities with english as a second language, and this puts other children at a disadvantage.
I now have 5 of my grandchildren who have or are going to WCES. I think the teachers have been friendly and quite competent. The children seem to enjoy the environment and the extra 'family' activities planned at the school.
Our daughter is doing very well academically and socially at WW Elemenatry School. She transfered from Anne E. Moncure this year due to redistricting. Her SOL Scores were very good, and she was elected to serve on the student council. We are very pleased with the school as a whole and her 3rd grade teacher was fantastic.
This school is fantastic! I am very pleased with the new principle and assistant principle of this school. They have the kids best interest at heart. The teachers are good too. My child is in fourth grade and his teacher is constantly keeping in touch with me. Great school!
We've lived in Stafford for 2 years now (military family) & Widewater has been great for my son. He was diagnosed with a developmental delay when he was 3 years old. He's in fifth grade now and began at Widewater with behavior problems and below average scores. He is now on the Honor Roll almost every quarter. The staff always treat us with the upmost respect. Thanks so much Widewater!
Now that Widewater has new leadership, the overall atmosphere has changed for the better. I no longer receive last minute notices on school activities and now able to attend those activities. The new principal and assistant principal really convey that they truly care about the school and the children in it. A great improvement over the last 2 years that my son has attended!
the best school my children ever been and thats their third school
Widewater is a wonderful school! However it does need work with a gifted program for the younger students! 3rd grade is fine however when it is obvious that a child is gifted Widewater needs to make sure that they are helping those children as well. Also the inclusion classes need serious help. Last year in my sons kindergarten class he was placed with many special needs children and it was so difficult to be in a learning environment for the regular child. My suggestion is to break up the amount per grade level and place 2 or 3 per class and not in the same room its just not fair to have one teacher always having to stop. And its not fair to the other students that can't get the education because there is to many special needs children in one room. I want fair for all children!
My children have attended Widewater Elementary for two years now. My daughter has been in first and second grade and my son in third and fourth grade. I was disappointed when we arrived here and found out that there was no gifted program available for children until they reach third grade since my daughter had already been part of a gifted program in her previous school. My son had also been part of that program but he had to go through all the testing again before being accepted into the current program which took half of the school year to accomplish. Although this school is clean, safe and has a pretty good program for average kids, they do not offer much for children who are advanced in earlier grades and do not encourage challanging younger children. After school activities and clubs are plentiful.The teachers are approachable and well educated.
Widewater is an excellent school. The faculty is extremly helpful and kind. My child is receiving a first rate education, which will cement his foundation for the rest of his academic career.
I have had my children attending Widewater for 5 years. I have loved each teacher my children were placed with. They look after them as if they were their own. The teachers are not just outstanding in the academic field. They care abour the children as people!

Food and beverages major Pepsico is planning to triple its beverage business in the next five years.
"There are huge opportunities in the beverages segment. We are looking at expanding our portfolio of drinks that will cater to people of all ages," said Indra Nooyi, chairman and CEO, Pepsico.
The company plans to launch a slew of products in the segment next year and also products to cater to hydration and overweight segments.
Responding to a query from reporters, Nooyi, who was visiting the Pepsico-Exnora Waste Management Centre at Pammal here, said non-carbonated soft drinks were growing significantly than the carbonated segment for the company globally.
Nooyi also said the commodity prices inflation was a major challenge for Pepsi."Worldwide, grain prices have gone up. We have got to ensure as a company that uses grains that we manage through this commodity inflation," she said.
Nooyi said the company wanted to replicate its citrus cultivation in Punjab in other states, which would not only make oranges available throughout the year but also will help India reduce citrus fruits imports.
The company has a nursery in Punjab with about six lakh citrus saplings to cater to the company. "We want to replicate it in multiple states. India is a major centre for us for citrus products," she said.

US stocks had their worst week of 2011 amid fears that the debt-ceiling impasse in Washington would provoke a ruinous default or a downgrade of the United States' credit rating.
For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 4.2 per cent, the S&P 500 dropped 3.9 per cent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 3.6 per cent.
On Friday, the Dow Jones fell 96.87 points (0.79 per cent) to close at 12,143.24.
It has now fallen for six consecutive trading days.
The broader S&P 500 tumbled 8.39 points (0.65 per cent) to 1292.28, while the Nasdaq shed 9.87 points (0.36 per cent) to close at 2756.38.
The Dow plunged more than 100 points in opening trade after the government reported that US gross domestic product grew just 1.3 per cent in the second quarter, a much slower pace than economists had expected.
Notably, the government also slashed its estimate for first-quarter GDP growth from 1.9 per cent to just 0.4 per cent.
Stock markets later made up some ground but remained depressed as investors worried about the looming threat of a default by the US government or a downgrade of the United States's top-notch credit rating.
Meanwhile, European stocks markets slid as the US debt crisis deepened amid surprisingly poor growth data out of Washington.
The euro gained against the dollar on the worrying US news and despite Moody's ratings agency issuing a gloomy warning over Spain.
Investors focused on the potential of a US downturn and set aside company results from the likes of mining giant Anglo American, Anglo-Spanish airline IAG, pay-tv giant BSkyB and luxury giant PPR.
At closing, London's benchmark FTSE 100 index of top shares dropped 0.99 per cent to 5815.19 points, Frankfurt's the DAX shed 0.44 per cent to 7158.77 points and in Paris the CAC 40 dropped 1.07 per cent to 3672.77 points.

American and English natives, I hate to bring this to you, but your use of quotation marks and periods doesn't make sense. Quite simply, your use is logically incorrect.
This has been brought to my attention after editing articles for about a month. At first, I thought it was some minor mistake writers made. But after a while I realized that this is how American/English write in general.
I will give one quick example:
/*Let's say that at one lonely road there are two signs. One reads "You shall not pass" without a period and the other reads "You shall not pass." with a period. This isn't part of the example, I just want to show that the first sign ends without a period while the second ends with a period.*/
A man is walking down a lonely road. He sees two signs. He walks towards the one reading "You shall not pass."
Now a question: Did he walk towards the first or the second sign? In English you have no idea. But for me, it is perfectly clear. He walked towards the second sign. If he had walked towards the first, it would have been: "You shall not pass". The period goes outside the quotation marks because the sign does not end with a period.
What you are doing is adding stuff to the sign, which is wrong.
Another example:
John barely passed his finals, despite cheating. He is truly a "genius."
This is what you would write. But that doesn't make sense. I used quotation marks to sarcastically comment on John's intelligence. The period is not part of the sarcasm. Only the word 'genius' is. So, the logical way of writing the sentence would be:
Blabla... He is truly a "genius".
The period goes outside the quotation marks because it is not part of the sarcastic comment.
-rant over-
I know this will never change the way you use quotation marks and periods, but still, it is bugging me that you are using them without taking into account the context/logic of the sentence. It is weird how languages use punctuation marks differently, while it would be much more logical if there was a 'universal system' of use.
Anyway, have a nice day.

I went to a party, and remembered what you said
you told me not to drink, mum so i had sprite instead
i felt proud of myself, the way you said i would
that i didn't drink and drive, though some friends said i should
i made a healthy choice, and your advice to me was right
as the party finally ended, and the kids drove out of sight
i got into my car, sure to get home in one piece
i never knew what was coming, mum something i expected least
now i'm lying on the pavement, and i hear the policeman say
"the kid that caused this wreck was drunk" mum, his voice seems far away
my own blood all around me, as i try hard not to cry
i can hear the paramedic say, "this girl is gonna die"
i'm sure the guy had no idea, while he was flying high
because he chose to drink and drive, now i would have to die
so why do people do it, mum knowing it ruins lives
and now the pain is cutting me, like a hundred stabbing knives
tell sister not to be afraid, mum tell dad to be brave
and when i go to heaven, put daddy's girl on my grave
someone should have taught him, that it is wrong to drink and drive
maybe if his parents had, i'd still be alive
my breath is getting shorter, mum i'm getting really scared
these are my final moments, and i'm so unprepared
i wish you could hold me mum, as i lie here to die
i wish i could say i love you, mum please remember that i do
this is my final goodbye mum
i'll never forget you
i almost cried when i first read this.
please rate 1-10. 1 being not sad and 10 being crying
How sad is this poem?
I went to a party, and remembered what you said

Obama Administration warns colleges to be more aware of rape
The Obama Administration is warning colleges and universities that they should not turn a blind eye to sexual assaults on campus in a new set of guidelines to help victims.
You can never tell that Jenny Wendt is marking an anniversary Tuesday.
"You didn't even know it was today?" Eyewitness News asked Wendt.
"I did not know today is the day and I had no clue when we spoke on the phone. Today is the day," she said.
Tuesday marks the ninth anniversary of the day Wendt was raped.
"I decided that I was not going to let this define my life. It was just one day in my life. One event on one day," she said.
Wendt was a student at IUPUI, living off campus, when she was raped in her apartment by a teaching assistant in a class she was taking. She stayed in bed for three days afterwards and decided not to report the assault.
"Why repeat it? Why go through court? Why persecute myself? Why become this girl on campus who was raped?" she said. "I would be in the media, persecuted in court and I would be known on campus by everybody as that girl and so I chose not to report it."
It's a decision she has always regretted. Looking back now, she wishes she had come forward. Especially since the perpetrator in this case walked into the Marion County Sheriff's Department just last January and confessed to the crime.
"Rape on our college campuses is a terrible problem. It's out of control," said State Rep. Christina Hale (D-Indianapolis).
But Hale says the White House guidelines have to be enforced to be effective.
"We need to do two things. We need to ensure people are reporting when those crimes are committed. Need to ensure our campuses are prepared and willing to take the steps necessary to connect victims with the services they need," she continued.
Jenny doesn't see herself as a survivor, she says she is a thriver.
Suggested Links
"Life is beautiful. Why would you want to let something, one thing that someone else has done, ruin your life? That is ridiculous to me. I refuse to let one person who is out of their mind take over my life. This is my life," Wendt boldly stated.
The perpetrator in Wendt's case did confess to the crime, but the statute of limitations had expired.
The Obama Administration says schools need to identify trained, confidential victims' advocates and conduct surveys to better gauge the frequency of sexual assault on their campuses.

Uranium is an award winning short film on the consequences of uranium mining in Canada. Narrated by Buffy Sainte-Marie, the 48-minute film explores how uranium mining can impact the environment, the health of those who are employed in the industry, and the quality of life of Indigenous peoples who live near the mines.
Seldom do we hear the fact that almost every uranium mine in Canada is on Indigenous land. Even more seldom are the occasions where Indigenous Peoples on those lands were meaningfully consulted and informed about what a uranium mine can mean for them, their community, their economy, their culture, their very existence.
The dangers are grim at best. According to "Hazards of Uranium," a briefing published earlier this year, exposure to the radioactive element can cause kidney diseases, blood diseases, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, gastric cancer, liver cancer, cancer of the gallbladder and extrahepatic bileducts, kidney cancer, diseases of the respiratory tract, mental disorders and birth defects.
As with all dangerous substances, the more you are exposed to Uranium, the more likely and more severely you can be effected. This is just as true for miners as it for anyone who may live near a mine or downstream from a tailings pond. You just have to breathe the air, drink the water and eat local plants and animals.
The dangers are twofold for Indigenous Peoples, because not only do you have to deal with the disease(s)--with little or no support from industry or government--but you may also have to abandon your livelihood. And if children are born with defects cause by uranium (which can severely incapacitate them mentally and physically) they may never even get the chance to live their own culture.
It's safe to say that these and other impacts are pretty well known today. At least, there aren't too many people left who claim that it's "all in our heads". But even so, the uranium industry is alive and well in Canada.
For instance, right now there is a great deal of talk about opening up the province of Nunavut to uranium mining.
According to Nunavummiut Makitagunarningit (Makita), mine proponents, government representatives, some Inuit organizations and the Nunavut Impact Review Board have been acting like they're all on the same team. And as a team, they've been singing all sorts of merry songs as if there's absolutely nothing to worry about.
For several months, Makita has been petitioning for a public inquiry so the Inuit and other Nunavut residents have the chance to know the risks and impacts of uranium mining and the contingencies that need to be in place before any mining projects begin.
This is, after all, a part of the consultation process which the government is legally required to carry out. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's going to happen. Nunavut Premier Eva Aariak recently said "no" to the inquiry, claiming that it will be enough to a hold a few public forums in the province.
The Inuit just might have to follow in the footsteps of all other Indigenous Peoples in Canada--who's needs and rights are so quickly tossed aside for a few massive paychecks and a few more short-term jobs. And let's not forget the radioactive waste that will make its way in the soil, air and water. Even if it takes 50 years, it's bound to happen.

How nice to listen to a younger, already well-spoken Winona LaDuke. When I was on sabbatical after a decade of frontline battles for the environment, her newly released book All Our Relations reinvigorated me, leading to a recommitment to scholarly interests in support of the world indigenous peoples' movement. In many ways, I and others have her to thank for inspiring us to dedicate our lives to more authentic pursuits than those offered by dominant society--a way of life that certainly has its own rewards.
Thanks for revisiting this important documentary.

what's...that... on your head? can curlers! tomato basil, potato with bacon... we've got a lot of empty cans. [ male announcer ] progresso. you gotta taste this soup. it's time now to "clear the air." and there are two stories we haven't yet mentioned on today's broadcast. the first concerns the news that a monkey, whose very dna is close to the political animals in washington, has been sent into outer space by the iranian government. of course, monkeys are heralded as intelligent and our closest an sesors and while they can often be found in the middle of a traveling circus, their real habitat is actually in the wild. one publication describes a monkey's characteristics in the following way. they are self-centered, mice chiefous, superficial, egoistic, conce conceited, restless, careless, overindulgent, and shallow. the other story we wanted to mention is that john mccain's
2:01 pm
vice presidential pick of four years ago, sarah palin, has also been sent into the wilderness after fox news failed to reknew her contract. for the sake of clarity, these stories are not connected in any way whatsoever. thanks so much for watching. chris matthews and "hardball" is next. tea for two. let's play "hardball." ♪ good evening. i'm chris matthews in washington. let me start tonight with this, barack and hillary, good-bye or hello? was last night's dual appearance on 60 minutes a fond good-bye or a statement? was it the president's way of saying i know which way the wind is blowing? was it barack obama saying i want a democrat to replace me? hillary clinton is the best bet to do it, i'm ready for this to happen? it's powerful stuff any way you listen to it. i think secretary clinton will
2:02 pm
run for president. i don't see how she can walk away from it. she's the one woman right now in the picture who could win the president next time. not only that, i think she's the favorite of either gender and either party to win the presidency why 2016. how does she tell the women of this country, all her backers across the country, that she doesn't want to run? this is the big story in politics right now. it will be until she announces she's running. it's the story of suspension only because it's about when she signals her move, not whether. eugene mccarthy once told me it's easier to run for president than to stop. once someone gets out there, puts their very being on the platform for the presidency, it doesn't go away. it stays with you. and secretary hillary clinton's case, she carry was her not just her first name, but her husband's. he clearly wants her to run, and that means he will lobby her like mad. i don't know of a more persuasive person in the kun and i can only assume he holds special influence with his wife. anyway, i think the real decision will be made by hillary rodham clinton herself. i believe she made that decision back at wellesley when she was a
2:03 pm
super student leader before she met william jefferson clinton and that decision i believe holds. get ready for a real doozy next time around. it's all right starting. exciting politics in in krung century has only begun. i'm joined by "the huffington post's" howard fineman and on her way to greatness, joy reid. >> she's there. >> aren't you the smart gentleman. >> appreciate it. >> let's watch this right now. looks like the president boosted this interview. they wanted it. 60 minutes prefaced their key question by saying it was his understanding that the joint interview wassed president's idea. he asked the question on everyone's mind, why. let's listen to steve and then the president. >> well, the main thing is i just wanted to have a chance to publicly say thank you because i think hillary will go down as one of the finest secretary of states we've had. i want the country to appreciate
2:04 pm
just what an extraordinary role she's played during the course of my administration and a lot of the successes we've had internationally have been because of her hard work. >> there's no political tea leaves to be read here? >> we don't have any tea. we've got some water here, the best i can tell. >> joy, that was a fairly lame response. we don't have any tea here by the sgecretary of state. this is the biggest set of jobs, first lady, united states of new york, secretary of state, the great he is appointed position on the planet. she's given it up, as he said last night, very importantly i thought, i would like you to stay. it was her decision to walk after four years. he could have stayed for eight or at least a lot more than she stayed. what does it mean to you -- i don't think that was a gold watch ceremony last night. i think it was a portent, a statement. >> i agree. i think it was an attempt by the president to bestow a little favor on hillary clinton. look, joe biden, the vice president, who a lot of people also believe really wants to run, i believe he wants to run, and i think he's been sending a lot of signals out there that he's very much interested in
2:05 pm
getting excited. he's gotten a lot ever big assignments and gotten a lot of favor from the president of the united states. i think this was an attempt to even the flaying field. the job she ended up taking was a lot higher profile in the end than vice president which a lot of hillary land really wanted him to make her his running mate and he didn't. he gave her a higher profile position and now he's given her a huge boost toward 2016. >> well, my question to you, since you raised it, i always like to request the question you raise, joy, will joe biden quit if she runs? will he pull out of the race if he's in the race for a year or two, will he pull out if she says i'm going? >> i think the game between biden and hillary has been this. i don't think they would primary each other but i think each of them has been try og to put faths on the ground -- >> but will he pull out if she comes in? >> i think if she makes a strong manufacture to run, i think biden would back down because i think the president is going to have to have a conversation with one of these two and say i got to back one of you, i can't back you both and i'm not going to be
2:06 pm
neutral. the president really wants his legacy to be another democratic president. >> you answered my question well. howard, can you answer it? if you don't know, you don't know. we lived through mccarthy/kennedy, bobby kennedy, gene mccarthy. that was terrible for the democratic party. two great candidates forced to run against each other because bobby got in late. >> first of all, i think part of this was about the next four years of president obama. it's not just about -- >> how does he need hillary? because he didn't put women in top positions? >> hillary is a major figure in the democratic party, was a major figure before he ever came on the scene. her husband, bill clinton, is still a major figure in the party even though that galls barack obama, and it wouldn't do to have this other royal family in the democratic tent out there undermining obama's candidacy or -- excuse me, obama's presidency in any way. this was a goodwill gesture on the way out of the door. >> to keep her on base. >> could tep her close,
2:07 pm
absolutely. keep your enemies close and your friends closer. >> let me ask you back the question i put to joy and she asked and answered. will joe biden bow out if it's clear hillary is running? >> i think so. and i think so because hillary has a much deeper, broader base in the party. i know joe biden well, i have covered him for a long time. he's nothing if not a political realist. if he assesses the situation a couple years down the road and sees that the clinton machine is still out there, and by the way, hillary took the twol clinton man to the state department. that was hillary land over there, not obama land. >> i understand that completely. >> if that's still going on, i think joe biden will look at it and say i'm not sure i have the organization to do it, and also he might not want to call the president out on it and take the gamble with the president because i'm not sure he would necessarily get the answer that he'd want to hear. >> steve kroft tried to get at the political meaning of the interview. this is rare. usually in our business if you
2:08 pm
know joy and howard, if you get an interview of this incredible quality, the president and secretary of state, the two most important people with bill clinton in the democratic party, you don't ask why you got it. but here he is apparently again trying to figure out why the two showed up together. here he is, steve kroft. >> i have to ask you, what's the date of expiration on this endorsement? >> oh, steve, i know -- >> i have to ask that question. come on. you're sitting here together. everybody in town is talking about it already. and this is taking place. >> you know, steve, i got to tell you, you guys in the press are incorrigible and it was literally inaugurated four days ago. >> right. >> and you're talking about elections four years from now. >> yeah, and i am, as you know, steve, i am still secretary of state so i am out of politics an i'm forbidden from even hearing these questions. >> as steve martin would tay mussily say, excuse me. they asked to come on "60
2:09 pm
minutes." they like the press coverage they got today and last night. they love the fact we're talking about it. it seems to me for him to mock the very message when they are the message is a little weird on the part of the president. >> please, steve. did you see the body language on hillary. that's a woman who knows the presidency is basically hers for the taking if she wants it. who could stop her? she knows it. she's as relaxed as i have ever seen her. the best thing to do is step back, get out of this job, and spend the next three years preparing herself to run for president if she wants it. >> was this a move -- so many things in politics follow other things that wouldn't have happened if they didn't have that thing before them. do you think this was to give her a really nice sendoff after the rather unpleasant experience with ron johnson and rand paul and those hearings this week? >> there are a couple things. first of all, it is true that hillary's last sort of public performance in an official capacity was defending herself on the hill well, but under attack. >> on benghazi.
2:10 pm
>> on benghazi. that's number one. i think the president and hillary have a mutual interest in having benghazi go away. and go away with a nice ribbon tied around it. that's number one. another thing was something you mentioned to me earlier, which is that the president has gotten a lot of criticism lately for not having picked a lot of new nominees who aren't white males. >> yeah. >> and to the remind people that one of the most important picks in his first term was a woman and not just any woman, but hillary rodham clinton, i think was a big deal. he was kind of reminding everybody, especially reminding women, especially hillary supporters, reminding activists, reminding feminists, look who is sitting next to me. i made this person secretary of state. has the additional benefit of editing bill clinton completely out of the picture. >> let me -- >> that's the real tension here. the real tension is bill clinton and barack obama. it's like the big chill turned into the deep freeze. >> okay. hold that thought because your idea of putting clinton aside
2:11 pm
which is unimaginable. >> at least for a few minutes. >> he was on tv when george w. bill was speaking at andrews on a separate screen. let me ask you because i thought of this and howard did give me credit for it in the green room. >> where all the important work is done. >> he put the secretary of state on television with him as an equal, a peer. they talked about each other being partners almost. was it ameliorated, softened, the lack of any woman of the top positions the president has named for the second term and it did shut everybody up in a very nice way. it's smart, cosmetic politics i thought. your thoughts, joy. >> definitely. it puts her in the buddy act. you have seen a lot of him and joe biden together. him and his new chief of act. there's a buddy act he's got going on with all these guys. one of the things -- >> boy/girl buddy act. that's new. >> if you think about it, one of the pairings you haven't seen a lot of over the past four years is barack obama and hillary clinton next to each other, together. i think it's important not just for the cosmetics because of the cabinet picks but because you
2:12 pm
have to at some point mesh hillary land and obama world. they're two very different camps. >> what happens -- does 40 or 50 or whatever number of people working in the state department whose jobs will cease to exist the day she leaves because they're owl appointments by her, what will they all do for a living while she decides whether she's running or not? >> well, i think a lot of them will become the sort of staff on the ground that's in the hillary clinton campaign in waiting. a lot of them will become policy advisers. i'm sure some will remain and you will see some people that will stay on because it's also a goodwill gesture from kerry land which also doesn't have a huge deep base. >> i agree with joy. i think john kerry is going to do hillary clinton a favor of keeping those people around. >> some. >> at least for a while. >> who knows. i don't know. >> at least for a decent serval. >> it's a fascinating discussion. we love it because as long as hillary is in the news, the news is exciting. i think hillary clinton is going to run for president and i think joy agrees with me. i think howard probably agrees to me but keeping his powder
2:13 pm
dry. he's just smiling now. i don't see why anybody walks away from the presidency. then again i don't think we can predict the future. >> i think it's about obama managing the next few years on his own. he wants to keep her in view and on a friendly basis. >> keep your enemies in front of you even if it's not an enemy. either it was a great actor performance or something really important. probably a combination. thank you, howard, my friend who shares in the skepticism which makes this a beautiful business. joy reid, you're great. i'm known for saying that, you're great. op wednesday hillary clinton is andrea mitchell's guest. 1:00 p.m. eastern on wednesday on this network msnbc. coming up, deal or no deal? a bipartisan group of senators has reached agreement on an immigration reform bill. wow. it could create a pathway for illegal immigrants to become citizens. it sounds great will republicans vote for it? will it have teeth? will it work when so many past
2:14 pm
efforts at immigration policy have filed? also, president obama has said he hoped his re-election would break the republican fever of endless obstructions, but even he admits that it hasn't happened yet. and now we have paul ryan saying the president is ignoring the country's problems in order to focus on the strategy. paul ryan you're the biggest disappointment right, left, or center this country. sarah palin lost her biggest megaphone when fox news dropped her the other day. her contract is gone. no thanks to keep her on the payroll. a lot of republicans say the gop has to stop being the stupid party. maybe getting rid of that is part of it. who knows. maybe cnn will pick her up. lef it to our friends on the right to find new conspiracies. first they question whether hillary clinton had a concussion. new they want to know whether he was pushed. sickos. you're watching "hardball," the place for politics. to the best vacation spot on earth. (all) the gulf! it doesn't matter which of our great states folks visit. mississippi, alabama, louisiana or florida,
2:15 pm
they're gonna love it. shaul, your alabama hospitality is incredible. thanks, karen. love your mississippi outdoors. i vote for your florida beaches, dawn. bill, this louisiana seafood is delicious. we're having such a great year on the gulf, we've decided to put aside our rivalry. now is the perfect time to visit anyone of our states. the beaches and waters couldn't be more beautiful. take a boat ride, go fishing or just lay in the sun. we've got coastline to explore and wildlife to photograph. and there's world class dining with our world famous seafood. so for a great vacation this year, come to the gulf. its all fabulous but i give florida the edge. right after mississippi. you mean alabama. say louisiana or there's no dessert. this invitation is brought to you by bp and all of us who call the gulf home. president obama's losing another key senate ally. iowa senator tom harkin announced over the weekend he
2:16 pm
won't run for a sixth term next year. that opens up a jump ball situation in the hawk i would state. on the democrat side u.s. congressman bruce brailly is the early favorite and tom vilsack, his wife christi and former governor chet culver but the republicans may be in for another soul searching primary crisis as tom latheham and extreme conservative steve king may both have their eyes on that senate seat. we'll be right back. s. a kite, a breeze, a dunk of grilled cheese. catches and throws, and spaghettio's. that's what happy kids are made of. campbell's. it's amazing what soup can do. i have obligations. cuteids tobligations, but obligations.g. i need to rethink the core of my portfolio.
2:17 pm
what i really need is sleep. introducing the ishares core, building blocks for the heart of your portfolio. find out why 9 out of 10 large professional investors choose ishares for their etfs. ishares by blackrock. call 1-800-ishares for a prospectus which includes investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. read and consider it carefully before investing. risk includes possible loss of principal.
2:18 pm
welcome back to "hardball." a group of eight senators, four democrats, four republicans, unveiled today what they say is a major break through in the immigration debate. the plan would offer a path to citizenship for the millions of people, about 12 million of them, here illegally. it also promises to put some teeth into enforcement. chuck schumer of morning and john mccain of arizona were two of the senators. here is what they said today. >> other bipartisan groups of senators have stood in the same spot before trumpeting similar proposals, but we believe this
2:19 pm
will be the year congress finally gets it done. the politics on this issue have been turned upside down. for the first time ever, there's more political risk in opposing immigration reform than in supporting it. >> what's going on now is unacceptable. in real what's been created is a de facto amnesty. we have been too content for too long to allow individuals to mow our lawn, serve our food, clean our homes, and even watch our children while not affording them any of the benefits that make our country so great. >> here is what the plan includes. the creation of what the sthors call a tough but fair path to stip. strengthening border security with new tools. establishing an effective employment vir fication system to prevent employers from hiring illegal workers.
2:20 pm
most will be given a provisional status. they would have to go to the back of the line to get their green card. will it work? and will republicans in the house be willing to go along with the plan? linda sanchez is a democratic congresswoman from california. stephanie cut ser the former deputy campaign manager for president obama's re-election. you know, congresswoman, as you know, like most americans i have always thought it idiotic on the part of the republicans to even talk about sending home over 10 million people who have been living here in this country for years. it's not going to ever happen. it would be a hideous thing to watch it in effect, people being ripped from their families. but i believe no true reform is ever going to work nor should it be approved that doesn't have enforcement behind it. unless that stops the other thing isn't going to be effective either. do you think this bill has both teeth and a good thing for the people living here both? >> well, it's important to
2:21 pm
remember that what the thinking of eight unveiled is sort of an outline. it's actually not a written bill yet. so there are details that still need to be worked out, but the very fact that there is agreement and the very fact that it's a bipartisan effort and the very fact that republican senators are now supporting this earned pathway to citizenship or legalization is a tremendous, tremendous aboutface from where our immigration policy has been. >> look, i have been around long enough. we have done immigration before. passed a big comprehensive bipartisan bill with all the signatures and everything, everybody smiling, and it was a joke. it was called simpson ms. zoly. alan simpson still thinks he was screwed by it because it didn't have any teeth. it looked nice and got some people here legally but it never solved the problem of illegal immigration. just because it's bipartisan, do you believe that means it's going to work? >> i think that it's definitely
2:22 pm
a sign of positive things to come. i mean, the devil is always in the details and, yes, enforcement is being tied in this bill to the pathway to citizenship, but you have to remember, too, there are a lot of moving parts to immigration, and you touch one piece of it, and you have to work and tinker with other parts of it, and i think ultimately with the stepped up enforcement, we have seen stepped up enforcement in the last four years, we have seen much tighter border security. we've seen fewer people coming into the country illegally, and i think if we can separate out those who want to come for legitimate reasons and those who come for criminal reasons and alleviate that pressure at the border, i think that we are well on our way to an effective immigration solution. >> stephanie, you're in politics and i cover politics. you know the politics of this. it needs to have both sides to it. if people can still come in the country tomorrow and there's no real work permit that's
2:23 pm
effective like you have in every other country in the world, including mexico, where you have to have a right to work somewhere, you have to have permission to work in the country, we don't seem to have a way of doing it. we know our country is filled with people working in every kind of job, whether it's restaurants or working on people's houses or cutting their lawns or working at golf courses or hotels. we know it's all over the place. people here who have come in the country illegally. nobody i think has confidence -- i certainly don't -- that any bill passed by congress that we've seen before will stop that. you can bring everybody in here into our system, you can give them the opportunity for full citizenship, but if we have to do this again in 23 or 25 years ago, we've gotten nowhere. we have to be a country that's organized enough to say who comes in and who doesn't it seems to me. your thoughts? >> i agree with you. and i don't think there's anybody that would disagree with you. and the congresswoman is right, the devil is in the details, but it seems like what the senate -- the bipartisan group of senators put out today does have some real teeth in it. what the president has put out previously also has some real teeth in it. let's not forget that the
2:24 pm
president has made historic increases in border security. that net migration with mexico right now is basically zero. and, you know, let's remember all the criticism that he got over the last couple of years on the increase in the number of deportations. so everybody understands that this bill has to have balance, that as the congresswoman said, once you start tinkering with one part, you have to look at everything altogether and it all works together. >> that sounds like -- people that believe in border protection, who believe you can stop somebody from coming in this country by higher towers or more drones or more people working there i think are right wingers or idiots. if you want to work and you're looking for a job, you're going to come to america, congresswoman. you're going to come in here and find a way in whether you have to take a boat, an airplane or swim or whatever you have to do, you're going to get here. my question is are we going to have a work permit situation that's truly in force so there will be no incentive to do that? because you can't work in the united states unless you're here legally. if we ever have a system like that, we won't be having this debate 20 or po years from now all over again. your thoughts. because we never stop talking about it.
2:25 pm
>> well, if you let me get a word in edgewise, i will tell you -- >> you got all the time in the world to answer my question. do you have confidence this bill will work? >> i am confident because part of the discussion that's been going on with the house group that's been working on this issue as well as the senate group has been a stronger e verify system and now e verify has not been a perfect system. there are some problems with that, but strengthening that system will also allow employers to verify whether workers in this country are here legally or not and that's a key part of enforcement as well. and i think, you know, ten years down the line, 20 years down the line possibly because our birth rate has fallen dramatically, the birth rate in mexico has fallen dramatically, we're going to need workers from somewhere. so i think we'll have a much different immigration debate in the future as there is this demand for workers, and perhaps we won't view immigrants so hostilely when he actually need them here contributing to our
2:26 pm
economy. so i'm confident that with this sort of renewed effort on both sides of the aisle to work out something that is doable, that will have the proper enforcement mechanisms but the proper pathway for people to come in out of the shadows and be fully participating members of our society, i'm very confident that we can get there. i really for the first time in the ten years that i have served in congress, really see this as a very real possibility. >> yeah. my concern is i agree with everything you said in terms of economics and social issues, fine. my concern is a government that cannot enforce its laws begins to crumble and our failure to have an honest, open, progressive immigration policy has been a disaster and it's not good for the future of our government that it can't do the job of enforcing its own borders which is essential to any country on this planet. stephanie, last thought. are we going to do this this time? >> well, chris, we have to try. i think there's a reason why we're talking about immigration reform, because the current system isn't working. i think we've done what we can
2:27 pm
under existing authority in terms of increasing border security, increasing enforcement, holding employers accountable for these workers that are coming in and overstaying their visas. and, look, we have to try. we have to try comprehensive immigration reform to finally fix the problem. business community wants it, the labor community wants it, now a bipartisan group in the senate wants it. so we've got to try to get it done. >> okay. my answer is i don't believe any of those groups want it. i don't think business wants it -- >> you're such a pessimist this evening. >> they want cheap, free labor. democrats want support by not offending anybody in the latino community. nobody really wants to get this done. i think john mccain does because he'd like to get re-elected again. anyway, thank you u.s. congress won linda sanchez and steph ghi cutter. up next, how did joe biden celebrate the inaugural? not well. he got licked again on "saturday night live." he's getting laid by jason sa sudeik sudeikis. >> it's me your vp joe biden and i'm inviteding you to join me

[ male announcer ] today, men with low t have androgel 1.62% (testosterone gel). the #1 prescribed topical testosterone replacement therapy, increases testosterone when used daily. women and children should avoid contact with application sites. discontinue androgel and call your doctor if you see unexpected signs of early puberty in a child, or signs in a woman, which may include changes in body hair or a large increase in acne, possibly due to accidental exposure. men with breast cancer or who have or might have prostate cancer, and women who are or may become pregnant or are breastfeeding, should not use androgel. serious side effects include worsening of an enlarged prostate, possible increased risk of prostate cancer, lower sperm count, swelling of ankles, feet, or body, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing during sleep, and blood clots in the legs. tell your doctor about your medical conditions and medications, especially insulin, corticosteroids, or medicines to decrease blood clotting. so...what do men do when a number's too low?

2:33 pm
she pass out and hit her head, was she pushed? how did she hit her head and get a concussion? >> she said, quote, i still have some lingering effects from falling on my head. there was no follow-up. >> you're right. >> okay. she was injured. she had a concussion -- >> that's one of the questions i have. >> how did you fall on your head. >> she passed out i think was the story. >> the questions have morphed there. you just saw them from did she really have a concussion to what she pushed? finally move over teddy roosevelt or the mascot version of him pr not past few years we've watched the four presidential mascots of the washington nationals compete in a midgame race. teddy lost every game until this past october over 500 losses in row np now things are getting interesting. a new competitor was introduced over the weekend. >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the newest racing president, william howard taft.
2:34 pm
♪ >> taft was much bigger than that actually. but there you have it. the famously complicated history of roosevelt and taft means there's a lot to work with between roosevelt helping taft get elected back in 1908, then running against him just four years later. taft has his own tie to baseball. the first president to ever throw out the ceremonial first pitch, meaning he started a long history of good, bad, and awkward. the subject was even the topic of an nbc sports special back in the '60s. >> who is that man in the picture? >> you better not let your history teacher hear you ask that question. that's president taft, bobby. the first of our presidents to throw out the ball on opening day. since then they have all done it. that's woodrow wilson, that's franklin d. roosevelt. that's president eisenhower. you know, just before he came home from europe, he said the first thing he wanted to do was see a ball game, and he did.
2:35 pm
and that's mr. kennedy, bobby. but i know that you knew that. he used to go to the ballpark and eat hotdogged and drink soda pop and this year president johnson will take his turn from pitching from that pitch. >> gee, joe, after all these things, i guess my book at home is right when they say baseball is a in accordance game. up next, president obama said he honed his re-election would break the republican fever of obstructionism, but even he admits that hasn't happened, and now paul ryan says the president wants to destroy the republican party. usual of whatting "hardball," the place for politics. as you a. would you take it? well, there is. [ male announcer ] it's called ocuvite. a vitamin totally dedicated to your eyes, from the eye care experts at bausch + lomb. as you age, eyes can lose vital nutrients. ocuvite helps replenish key eye nutrients. ocuvite has a unique formula not found in your multivitamin to help protect your eye health. now that's a pill worth taking.
2:36 pm
[ male announcer ] ocuvite. help protect your eye health. up next, president obama [ male announcer ] there's a story behind the silver of philadelphia cream cheese. it always begins with fresh, local milk, blended with real wholesome cream. up next, president obama going fresh from the farm, to our fridge, in just six days. because we believe in fresh taste. that's the way we set the standard for intensely rich, luscious flavor. so our story of fresh taste always ends... deliciously. when it comes to taste, philadelphia sets the standard.
2:37 pm
2:38 pm
d i want when it comes to taste, to roll over my old 401(k) into a fidelity ira. man: okay, no problem. it's easy to get started; i can help you with the paperwork. um...this green line just appeared on my floor. yeah, that's fidelity helping you reach your financial goals. could you hold on a second? it's your money. roll over your old 401(k) into a fidelity ira and take control of your personal economy. this is going to be helpful. call or come in today. fidelity investments. turn here. i'm mandy drury with your cnbc market wrap. modest moves with the dow falling 14 points, the s&p is off by 2, and the nasdaq gained 4. yahoo! shares have been up as
2:39 pm
much as 4% in after hours trade following a better than expected earnings report. revenue was in line with estimates. on the economic front, durable goods orders rose 4.6% last month, much more than forecast. however pending home sales slid by 4.3% in december. economists were expecting a gain. that is it from cnbc, first in business worldwide. now back over to "hardball." ♪ i decided to not comment between the election and the inauguration because i wanted to see what kind of presidents we were looking at here, what kind of path and trajectory he was putting his administration on, and all of the statements and all the comments lead me to believe that he's thinking more of a political conquest than political compromise. >> welcome back to "hardball." this weekend congressman paul ryan, you just saw him there,
2:40 pm
kept up the republican claim of victimhood. that president obama is more interested in defeating them than he is in getting something done for the country. last week house speaker john boehner started that dumb beat saying president obama was out to annihilate the republican party and ryan amplified it when he spoke at a future of conservatism summit this saturday. >> the president will bait us. he will portray us as cruel and unyielding. we can't get rattled. we won't play the villain in his morality plays. we have to stay united. we have to show that if given the chance, we can govern. that we have better ideas. >> president obama has said he hoped this re-election would break that republican fever of total opposition but in an interview with the new republic interview, brand new magazine, he said obviously that hant happened yet. joining me is columnist cynthia tucker and "the washington post's" eugene robinson.
2:41 pm
i want to start with gene up here. it seems to me they have this new sort of gee, whiz, we're getting beat up, but they were the party that for four years shut the door on a new president. he won the election -- >> and said, you know, our number one goal is to make him a one-term president and they said, no, no, no. they said no to measures they had proposed in the past, but as long as he proposed them, they said no. to turn around and then say, oh, he's hitting us, he's beating us up, it's kind of silly, and i don't know -- are they just trying to rally the troops -- >> wasn't this the macho party a couple weeks ago in they're now becoming the -- >> used to be. now they're victims. >> cynthia, what is the psychology to tell people who have been predatory towards the president that they're somehow now being bullied? what is in the psycho ward that tells them they will unite if we're all victims getting beat up? mitch mcconnell -- >> chris, psychiatry has a term for this. it's called projection.
2:42 pm
projection is what the patient does when he is believing that other people are doing to him what he has done to other people, and that is exactly what republicans are doing. and it's not just john boehner and paul ryan. this is the narrative that's taken hold throughout all facets of the republican party. it's repeated ad nauseam on fox news. and you even hear it from some moderate conservative thinkers who ought to know better. obama is out to kill the wounded. now that republicans are down. he's not going to make any proposals that republicans might actually sign onto. instead, he's going to make them look bad on things like immigration. but it's interesting -- >> but that's not working, cynthia. >> -- supposed to be the party of personal responsibility. >> that narrative, gene, isn't working because quite clearly
2:43 pm
there's a bipartisan plan on immigration as we see today. anytime boehner, the speaker of the house, who i don't dislike, would come out for a background check on guns, just push one measure, if he could get that through the house, he'd be a leader on the newtown, connecticut, horror. he could be the leader. it would force harry reid to do the same. he doesn't have to be a victim. >> i think dr. tucker's diagnosis was absolutely right. and i think, you know, this is the party's way of trying to deal with its own internal contradictions and issues. the republican party has issues, and the number one issue which they don't want to deal with is that most of the american people don't support their positions on the issues that are important. they don't agree with them on immigration. they don't agree with them on abortion. they don't agree with them on -- >> is this the ole avis commercial, cynthia, we try harder. we're not as big as hertz. we're the little guy that's overcome the other party. maybe they recognize they just
2:44 pm
did a count and realize there aren't as many republicans as democrats. could that be it? here is the president on that subject in an interview with the new republic. it's a great new look at the mag zeb. the president was asked about establishing working relationships with republicans and he said, quote, one of the biggest factors in forging bipartisan legislation is going to be how the media shapes debates. if a republican member of congress is not punished on fox news or by rush limbaugh for working with a democrat on a bill of common interest, then you'll see more of them doing it. boy, the president is really putting up fox and rush there. he's saying these are the no men that scare these guys into doing nothing. >> well, it's kind of -- i don't know if you saw the harry potter movie but lord voldemort, you couldn't say the name, now he can say the name. he's just laying it out there. >> do you think rush still has the veto on a republican member? he can chase them into the bushes? >> he said he's going to try to
2:45 pm
block immigration reform. only he can save us from immigration reform. so we'll see -- >> cynthia, i do believe that rush has more power than any individual member of congress. meaning if he attacks all of them i don't think he would beat them but if he says to somebody in georgia, your country, that guy has got to go, he's a bum, he's a sellout, those guys are petrified of rush doing that to them. >> and we're already seeing yet another republican who has been limbaughed and tea partied right out of the senate. saxby chambliss has decided he will not -- he will resign rather than face a challenge from a tea partier. and let me be very clear here. saxby chambliss, senator from georgia, is very conservative, but what was his sin? he actually worked with the gang of six to try to come up with a grand bargain to reduce the deficit. he wanted to actually compromise with democrats, and for the rush
2:46 pm
limbaugh wing of the republican party, that is a big no no. so they have been gunning for saxby for about two years now, and he said never mind. >> i am so shocked at party politics some days. look, corker in tennessee ran a rotten -- i thought a racist campaign against gerald ford. and running the way saxby chambliss ran against mx clinton, a war hero, i guy who had been maimed in the war, was horrible and yet i give them forgiveness in both have ended up being people who tried to work as legitimate congress people and senators -- >> trite to get something done. >> they did try to get something done and i give them credit for the way they ended if not the way they started. in fact, corker is still in the business but i wish saxby chambliss well in his decision. coming up -- thank you, sign thea and eugene robbins. up next, fox news and sarah palin call it quits.
2:47 pm
with a lot of republicans saying the gop has to stop being the stupid party, this can't hurt, getting rid of her, but we'll see. this is "hardball," the place for politics. did i say that? rtunity. you know how to mix business... with business. and you...rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle. and go. you can even take a full-size or above. and still pay the mid-size price. i could get used to this. [ male announcer ] yes, you could business pro. yes, you could. go national. go like a pro.
2:48 pm
palin call it quits. virginia's plan to rig the electoral system and award electoral votes by congressional district looks to be dead in the water. republican governor bob mcdonnell and ken cuccinelli, the commonwealth's attorney general, have both come out against the republican plan which would have made it easier for republicans to win that battleground state.
2:49 pm
that's good news for anyone who cares about fairness in elections and proves that not everyone is in the mickey mouse club in this issue. still, republicans in four other swing states, pennsylvania, ohio, wisconsin, and michigan are considering similar measures to rig the vote. we'll be right back. look what mommy is having. mommy's having a french fry. yes she is, yes she is. [ bop ] [ male announcer ] could've had a v8. 100% vegetable juice, with three of your daily vegetable servings in every little bottle. then i read an article about a study that looked at the long term health benefits of taking multivitamins. they used centrum silver for the study... so i guess my wife was right. [ male announcer ] centrum. always your most complete.
2:50 pm
this vacation... has been a year in the planning. and here you are.. standing... nay... staring down your dreams. the rest of your holiday hinges on the moment you walk through that door. the door opens.. ...you hold your breath... and then you realize... you got it right! you got it booking right. because it doesn't get any better than this. it doesn't get any booking better than this. look at the view. look at the booking view. this is exactly what you booking needed. bask in the booking glory... at over a quarter million properties. planet earth's #1 accommodation site booking.com booking.yeah
2:51 pm
meet the 5-passenger ford c-max hybrid. when you're carrying a lot of weight, c-max has a nice little trait, you see, c-max helps you load your freight, with its foot-activated lift gate. but that's not all you'll see, cause c-max also beats prius v, with better mpg. say hi to the all-new 47 combined mpg c-max hybrid. it's the end of an era in sorts. late friday, fox news announced it was parting ways with one of its star political pun dants, sarah palin. >> well, first off, nancy pelosi is a ding bat. she's a perfect spokesperson for
2:52 pm
president obama's democrat party. with all due respect to the office of the presidency, when i hear barack obama speak at this point, especially when he lectures about ethics, feasibility, it's nauseating to me. that's a very scary thought because bara drrck obama is a socialist. he believes in redistributing wealth in confiscating hard-earned dollars. >> independent, patriotic americans who desire fiscal sanity are being called terrorists. if we were real domestic terrorists, president obama would be wanting to pal around with us, wouldn't he? >> "time magazine", consider their list of most influential people in the country and in the world, some who have made that list, yours truly. that ought to tell you something right there regarding the things that we should give time magazine and their list of people. >> i wouldn't want to join a
2:53 pm
club that would accept me as a member. anyway, what she said there is that palin is out of step with the republican party as it attempts to rebrand itself. it could be that her extreme views just don't cut it anymore or it could be that she's just not box office anymore. anyway, laura ashburner and a contributor to the "daily beast." i thought that was an interesting gag reel. but that's her best. and i don't think you have to make fun of her like i sort of did coming out of the last segment. but the stupid party has to make some changes and maybe fox has to, too. why did she cut the must tard with fox is this. >> her star has fallen. she's not as relevant as she used to be. but, chris, put it in terms she can understand. she didn't rate. >> she's only on for like a minute at a time.
2:54 pm
>> e >> you have minute-by-minute ratings. >> you know what i thauought, i thought she had something when she ranl for v.p. a lot of people, when she went out in that stage, it was anounszed. i know it's theatrical and there's nothing wrong with politics. bill clinton has it. some people didn't have it. but something faded. i think it was the way they used her on fox. that little booth she was in, it didn't show her dash, her excitemented, her pinosh in her booth. >> you know it's the ke nettics. >> sarah palin faded away here over a long period of time. you know fox would be interested in keeping her here. >> what about the charges she made. just, you know, you say i think it's a little more nuanced. i do think obama is the man of the center left. they call him a socialist. i think i'm where he is. but the idea offing with a
2:55 pm
socialist that he wants the government to run all business. >> she said he was a socialist and she said that we were the lame stream media. those were her two points. and that was it. what did she think, what did she add to the conversation. now, that said, con essentialtive women love her. they love her. >> katie couric once asked her a pivotal question. what do you read? i do believe, no matter how original you are in the world, you have to read. you've got to know what the discussions are about. you've got to get into it. i'm not sure it's a problem being cut off. >> her stock and trade was being a bomb thrower. and the truth is, bomb throwers are a dime a dozen now. you have four or five of them in the house of representatives. they didn't really need that particular demographic represented there. so if they had her firing off of this, they could also listen to allen west or michelle bachmann or somebody else.
2:56 pm
and i think it says a lot about the decline. >> they're fading, too. michelle bachmann has faded, too. >> i think economic times are better. the demagogue doesn't work as well when the stock market is at a five-year high. >> do you think tina faye brought her down a little bit? >> totally. just as you were talking about biden being talked about on "snl," it completely toppled her. >> i still think a couple of those clips were tina faye. >> just won another award, the sag, screen actor's guilt she won again. laura ashburn, thanks for join us. dana, when we return, let me finish -- what the republicans need to avoid being a perennial second place party. you're watching "hardball," the place for politics.

- Engineered Solutions revenue was $70 million, an increase of 31 percent year-over-year.
