Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC's "Hardball," raved about a speech President Obama made to American troops during his surprise visit to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. "I imagine being a soldier over there -- this is what you want to hear," Matthews said, as if he was wearing military fatigues. Matthews also likened the leadership of President

During a surprise visit Tuesday to Afghanistan, where he signed an agreement outlining the U.S. role there after most NATO forces leave in 2014, President Barack Obama said he knew many Americans are tired of the war, but underscored a need to "finish the job." The following is a transcript of President Obama's address to the nation May 1, 2012,

RUSH LIMBAUGH: And Romney can run against Obama's economy, and he can run against various specific Obama programs or issues that have failed and so forth. This is where people say it's ideological. This is right versus left. You've got Obama and his goal is clear. What did he say? He wants to transform America? That's what it was: "Fundamentally tr

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) speculates what former President George W. Bush would do if he was Commander-in-Chief when bin Laden was captured or killed. "Let me just say, that if George Bush would have done that he would have put on that aviator suit, would have made six banners [of] 'Mission Accomplished' and he would have flown all over the coun

NBC's Andrea Mitchell made what some may call a not-so-Freudian slip on her daily cable news show that broadcasts on MSNBC. Mitchell asks former Senator Tom Daschle (D-SD) what he thinks of Republican criticism that "we" are politicizing the bin Laden killing. Mitchell quickly corrected herself and said it is the White House that is being accus

CHUCK TODD: "Why won't President Obama use the bully pulpit to 'sell' the Afghanistan war? Well, this is a case where the President is taking the most famous day, if you will now in the war, the closest thing this country ever is going to have to a VE Day or a VJ Day in this war which is 'VOBL Day', right? Bin Laden’s death day. And he’s using

While delivering remarks outside of a New York City firehouse with former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was heckled by a woman yelling, "Mitt Romney, you're a racist!" nearly a dozen times.

Having this kind of energy, having this kind of focus," First Lady Michelle Obama said to a group of Colorado Organizing For America volunteers Monday April 30, 2012 at Hillside Community Cent

"What kind of financial resources do we have here at home to help national build in Afghanistan abroad?" CNBC's Larry Kudlow asked U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) on his CNBC show Tuesday evening. "I think that most Americans want us nation-building here. And there's not going to be a Marshall Plan for Afghanistan. We have to wait and see what's

"I think them taking credit for the right decision is entirely appropriate. I think trying to attack me on that basis is disappointing and the wrong course," Mitt Romney said in an interview with "CBS This Morning." "Of course the right course was to assassinate, execute Osama bin Laden and that is precisely what happened, and I congratulate the

"In pursuit of a durable peace, America has no designs beyond an end to al Qaeda's safe havens and respect for Afghan sovereignty. As we move forward, some people will ask why we need a firm time line. The answer is clear," President Obama said in an address to the nation from Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. "Our goal is not to build a country i

“I’m not complaining about the taxes I pay,” he said. “What I don’t like is him saying that those people in that category who came from nothing and worked hard and made something of themselves are now, they’re not paying their fair share of taxes. And it’s like the one percent versus the 99 percent.” Lovitz said he didn’t like

The 30-second spot by long-time U.S. Senator Dick Lugar (R-Ind.) slams conservative rival Richard Mourdock for investing in junk bonds as Indiana's state treasurer.

"I want you to know that we're going to continue out there on the road.

MARK LEVIN: This was a man (Ronald Reagan) of enormous class. A man who did not, as Obama does, day in and day out look for ways to take credit. When you're President of the United States and you give the order to kill Osama bin Laden and Osama bin Laden is killed that's all you need to do. That's all you need to say. You don't need to keep run
