MARTIN BASHIR: We end this week in the way it began -- with America’s resident dunce, Sarah Palin, scraping the barrel of her long deceased mind, and using her all time favorite analogy in an attempt to sound intelligent about the national debt. SARAH PALIN: Our free stuff today is being paid for by taking money from our children, and borro

CHRIS WALLACE: Charles, is this another attempt, the Upton bill, another attempt by Republicans to gut Obamacare? And what about the 39 House Democrats who went along with it? I've been wrestling with this myself. Is the news how many that was or how few? CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Well, if you compare it to what would have happened if Obama had done

JONATHAN KARL, ABC NEWS: Can I just ask you, the president said yesterday, 'I was not informed directly that the web site would not be working the way it was supposed to.' I mean, we've heard the latest is the project manager on healthcare.gov warned, was worried this thing could crash at takeoff. I'm just wondering, did the president at any point

SEN. TED CRUZ (R-TX): The thing about Obamacare, the five million who lost their health care right now, is just the beginning of this that. The next shoes that are going to be dropping, one of the next shoes that's going to be dropping is you're going to see more and more people realizing they can't keep their doctor. Texas Oncology, one the very b

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Chuck Todd, yesterday you were at the press conference.  I think the president had to do it, but boy it puts him in a difficult position on so many fronts, doesn’t it?  CHUCK TODD: It does. But it seems like he was trying offer his party, the Democratic Party and basically all the panicked Democrats on Capitol Hill a pound o

REP. JIM MCDERMOTT: Mr. Speaker, my mother used to say, patience is a virtue. I haven’t seen so much panic on this floor since 9/11. Now the fact is that a couple of members who used to be here, Jay Inslee, who’s now governor of the state of Washington and Mike Kreidler who is the insurance commissioner of the state of Washington, have already

LAWRENCE O'DONNELL: What you heard from today from the White House about how the president hopes to fix this situation. What's your reading of how that will work? EZRA KLEIN: It isn't a fix. And part it's not a fix because the situation actually isn't that broken. What's broken is another part of the law. So, what he said today, the new policy h

"There is nothing in the Affordable Care Act that said that your insurance company should cancel you," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said at press conference on Thursday. "Did I ever tell my constituents that if they liked their plan they could keep it?" Pelosi asked. "I would have if I'd ever met anybody who liked his or her plan. B

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Reagan and Eisenhower, how funny that Eisenhower has long been decried as this moderate establishment Republican, now the National Review and a lot of other people are looking at this guy -- and this happened really after Barack Obama to elected -- that two president have had trouble managing the presidency in a row, sudd

CBS News political director John Dickerson joins the "CBS This Morning" co-hosts to discuss the president's announcement that people can keep their original insurance plans and how it will impact the implementation of the law. CHARLIE ROSE: So after all of this, and all of this press conference, where does the president stand with th

"The real problem with the president's plan is not just the rollout. That's implementation and glitches of various kinds. It should have been done better but it wasn't, but the real problem is dishonesty. That's what's really striking," Mitt Romney said on CBS this morning. "Ultimately, people know the systems are going to work, they're frustrat

BILL O'REILLY: Summing up, we can expect the President and his supporters like Dr. Emanuel to compromise on some small things. But not the overall Obamacare program which they will defend forever. To admit it's not good for the country would be to admit that big country is not good. Therefore, liberalism is not good. And that's what this is all ab
