CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: I think your theory, and there are two, is that we get the government we deserve, that Obama reflects a change in sort of the political ideology of the country. As the country has become more dependent -- more people receiving the benefits of government -- that there is a lot more people who want to suck on the teat of the stat

FOX News: Former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw recently compared gun control to the Civil Rights Movement. Tonight on The O’Reilly Factor, “Good Morning America” anchor George Stephanopoulos said, “It’s not the analogy I would use but I think what he was talking about there was the kind of passion that people feel.” Bill O’Reilly comm

"The only two people who didn't disagree on any subject were Barack Obama and Joe Biden. So when we got into this deal, we didn't have what other administrations have had, where the vice president and the president have a different take on the major issues of the day. We're totally simpatico," Vice President Joe Biden said about his relationship wi

Vice President Joe Biden talks to Gloria Borger about gun control, the fiscal fight & whether he'll run in 2016. GLORIA BORGER, CNN: Looking ahead four more years, you've made it clear in one way or another that you are considering a presidential bid of your own. Is there any reason you wouldn't run? VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Ther

REP. PAUL RYAN (R-Wis.): The concern that people like me have been raising is we do not want to encourage a dependency culture. This is why we called for welfare reform. This is what welfare reform in 1996 was. This was what the new rounds of welfare reform we're calling for do, which is to increase social mobility, economic opportunity, self-respo

"The whole world is watching this hearing, it is the first hearing on this issue. The whole point of a society is to create and run a government to make order for people. People don't like chaos and this hearing is about how to create chaos to get what you can’t get politically with votes," Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Washington) said at a House Ways a

AMY WALTER, COOK POLITICAL REPORT: The one thing he didn't talk about, which of course, the campaign was based upon was jobs. The economy and jobs. And so this was an address that was very aspirational, especially talking about equal rights, and at the same time, I think there are a lot of Americans out there who say, but what I'm really concerned

Larry Kudlow, host of the Kudlow Report on CNBC and the Larry Kudlow Show on WMAL-AM, speaks to WMAL-AM about the flaws in Obama's inauguration speech and skyrocketing taxes.

The Morning Joe panel – including Bloomberg News' Al Hunt, former RNC Chair Michael Steele, the BBC's Katty Kay and Mike Barnicle – discusses President Obama's second inauguration, his speech to the nation and the GOP's low approval numbers. Scarborough says Obama was able to make the GOP look like a party in retreat.

AL SHARPTON: I think his speech was about him setting a tone for where he saw the rest of century going. I don't think it was about just four years for him. I think he was giving a vision, he thinks in terms, when he talks to us -- like Kennedy talking about the New Frontier, Johnson about the Great Society. I don't think everything he addressed ye

FOX NEWS: O’Reilly said, “Talking Points disagrees with President Obama’s priority, all though social justice is a noble goal. It is simply impossible to do what the president wants to do.

Daily Show: The Best F#@king News Team Ever debates Michelle Obama's inauguration bangs, and Al Madrigal gets catfished.

PAT BUCHANAN: The president is a fine speaker, and I really was looking for something uplifting. I've read speeches, I've worked on inaugural speeches -- I remember both of Lincoln's, and Kennedy's, and FDR's. [Lincoln's] second inaugural is one of the greatest -- it's far better than the Gettysburg Address, in my view. But let me say this, the

"We, the people, still believe that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war," President Obama said in his second inaugural address. "Our brave men and women in uniform, tempered by the flames of battle, are unmatched in skill and courage. Our citizens, seared by the memory of those we have lost, know too well the price that

O'Reilly: It's pretty clear that [Obama] doesn't like them because he doesn't feel — he feels that they are the purveyors of white privilege, Bob. He's never going to say that, but that's the theme that runs through his advisers: The white privilege has to be broken down. O'Reilly: The Republican agenda, in his mind, the president's mi
