DAVID GREGORY: The issue of the economy is a big one. Do you ever wonder why the president doesn't get more credit for an economy that is rebounding? What's the disconnect here? DENIS MCDONOUGH, WH CHIEF OF STAFF: I don't spend a lot of time wondering about credit for the president. He doesn't. I don't spend a lot of time wondering about any

BILL O'REILLY: I'm sure that the intent is noble, but I'm a taxpayer and I'm paying Kathleen Sebelius' salary and she screwed up and you're not holding her accountable. PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, I promise you that we hold everybody up and down the line accountable. But when we're midstream, Bill, we want to make sure that our main focus is how do

CHUCK TODD: So, you know, at some point you do figure the politics is going to sort of impact where the president comes down here. But on the big picture legacy thing, you know, the other part that the president was elected on was changing politics as we know it in this town. And that's what sort of has stunned from the David Remnick interview to

Bill O'Reilly interviews President Obama before Super Bowl XLVIII. OBAMA: Bill, listen, I've gone through this and we have had multiple hearings on it. What happens is you have an attack like this taking place. And you have a mix of folks who are just troublemakers, you have folks who have an ideological agenda, you have some who are affiliated

CHRIS WALLACE: This being Fox News Sunday, I have to ask a political question. In the course of researching this interview, I found out, which I didn't know, that you're a big Republican. And, in fact, you contributed a lot of money in 2012 to Mitt Romney. Why do you support the GOP? JOHN ELWAY: Well, I mean those are what my beliefs are. I b

BILL O'REILLY: Okay. So you don't recall seeing [Douglas] Shulman, because what some people are saying is that the IRS was used at a local level in Cincinnati, maybe other places to go after -- PRESIDENT OBAMA: Absolutely wrong. O'REILLY: How do you know that because we still don't know what happened? OBAMA: Bill, we do -- that's not what

BILL O'REILLY: Mr. President, thank you for doing this. PRESIDENT OBAMA: Great to be with you. O'REILLY: Really appreciate it. I want to get some things on the record. So let's begin with health care. OBAMA: Yes? O'REILLY: October 1st it rolls out. OBAMA: Right. O'REILLY: Immediately, there are problems with the comp

DAVID GREGORY: Here's a few newsy items. One has to do with the Keystone Pipeline, right? DENIS MCDONOUGH, WH CHIEF OF STAFF: Yes. DAVID GREGORY: The ability to move all of that oil down through the middle of the country. Republicans have been calling for this. They say it's big for jobs. There's been a report now from the State Departmen

STEPHANOPOULOS: Now you had a pretty tough reaction to this suggesting the president is, quote, "circumventing the Constitution." Do you really think his proposals are unconstitutional? You know, his rate of using executive orders is far behind President Reagan, President Bush, President Clinton. RYAN: It's not the number of executive orders, it

HOWARD KURTZ: I wonder though, Juan, whether the president secretly enjoys the combat with O'Reilly or at the very least thinks this kind of interview, if it's a combative interview, can help him. JUAN WILLIAMS: No, and typically it hasn't been. I don't think Bill O'Reilly has been combative with him; I think he tries to understand him. The last

REP. PETER ROSKAM (R-IL): Right now, physicals are in a situation where they're going to order more tests because of a possibility of lawsuits that are frivolous and it drives costs up. Let's instead look at how to reframe and recalibrate our medical liability laws so that they make sure sense and get healthier outcomes, but don't just order tests

MAJOR GARRETT: Now, David Wildstein's attorney says there is evidence that Governor Christie knew more than he has disclosed and knew earlier than he's disclosed. Not thinking about this politically, but thinking about it as your former role as a U.S. Attorney, does this strike you as legally significant? RUDY GIULIANI: Well, no, it isn't. I t
