Segment 1 Cenk, Michael Shure, and Jimmy Dore hosting today. Ann Romney came out in defense of Mitt from Republican snipes and attacks. She told the critics to simply “Stop It.” Cenk gets a strong Barbara Bush vibe from Ann, regarding her heartlessness. Videos of Obama responding to Romney’s 47% comments. Segment 2 Video of Obama telling Univision that he learned you can’t change Washington from the inside. Republicans went crazy on this quote with Romney campaign lines and an ad from the RNC. Cenk doesn't agree with the angle Republicans took, but he does agree that Obama is a defeatist president that won’t try to change Washington. Segment 3 After Obama listened to Republican governors asking for loosened requirements for their states on welfare, the GOP House voted down his bill that listened to them. Many of the ideas they rail against are Republican ones. Videos of Rick Perry railing against the separation of Church and State, calling it an idea of Satan. If someone takes God out of his words and replaces it with Allah, Perry sounds just like Muslim jihadists. Mitt Romney released his tax returns from 2011 and showed that he payed 14%, expecting the story to be over. They also claimed that he paid taxes every year for the last 20 years, claiming the lowest was 13.6%. Cenk doesn't believe these numbers.
