Chronicles amounting to present a -- -- the force the return on a bill -- one million dollar donation to his super -- why.

Well listen to what -- HBO host just said about and Romney.

But what she meant to say I think -- is that and Romney has never gotten her ass out of the house.

To work no -- no one's denying that being a mother is a tough job I remember I was a handful.

But you know there is a big difference between being a mother -- that tough job and -- I'm getting your ass out the door at 7 AM when it's cold having to deal with the boss.

Sitting in a workplace -- even if you're unhappy you can't show it for eight hours.

This kind of a different kind of tough.

On the -- Is this someone the president super -- should be taking money from we now.

Host Monica Crowley and former democratic pollster Pat Caddell Monica you -- us define that.

If the president doesn't return this money now after the laughs well we just hood the use of the language -- that harsh sarcastic tone.

If he doesn't return on the money now he Neville well.

And I don't think he's got to -- but look the sound that you're hearing based on bill -- comments there.

The left continuing to dig themselves deeper into deeper into this whole this is a huge crisis for the left.

This is a big problem for the -- president's reelection.

And Bill -- just compound event on Friday night when he made these comments that are now in the echo chamber.

Barack Obama is not return million dollars because he wants -- producing -- -- -- This guy who in 2000 enables a fund raising machine he continues to raise a lot of money for his campaign why -- that million dollars so precious to him.

He should be able to turn around and once second and replace that million dollars and cut himself loose from the liability of Bill Maher -- Do you think that President Obama wants the bill -- of this world to use.

Say you haven't talked like that you think he wants this to you do you think that Hilary Rosen was a mistake anything you -- you have to be either naive or uninformed.

-- believe.

That she operated his or her -- Kuwait and -- is a really good will go in let me just say I don't care about -- million dollars what I care about is -- HBO has similar twenty to forty sometimes a week.

He show which repeated -- on the air.

And it is nothing but a campaign probably -- -- to hold up so you think that is a successful political strategy send out someone like bill law use language like that saw he has a base I -- how do you think that's -- -- always happen.

I mean but look this is -- price you pay for the rest of his carry water for you but the point.

Indecision right this is where you real attack.

Is the third rail of American politics more than anything else.

They do it because they're contempt but here's the point they want to -- issue on the table they want any -- struck from the economy.

And don't you think when David Axelrod says auto auto -- oh she's what -- you people she's a commentator.

Our Bill Maher what his attack she's never gotten out of the house -- option that Hilary Rosen is rich she's -- she'll join about ordinary women back.

So what -- -- doesn't know reader is Bill Maher who has no connection I -- grade kids nothing is that what it's all about.

Hit -- he goes after a woman who is supposedly rich.

Living a life of luxury and doesn't actually -- raising five -- is is that the angle is it class warfare on the agenda bassist -- that.

Absolutely look it's backfiring on them because they chose this particular angle to go after -- most charismatic and popular person on the campaign trail right now and that includes Barack Obama.

-- -- incredibly popular but I think you're a 100% right.

I think that this is a class warfare type of argument.

That they're gonna go after Romney is being part of the evil 1% so by extension his wife is also part of the evil 1%.

And remember Obama made a similar mistake on -- comment about the or save it as I slept last week.

When Obama himself.

-- pat said look we didn't have the luxury.

Of Michel staying home to raise our children she had to go to works you're exactly right this.

That's what's working what.

Well the -- and of course they have such good contracts you don't go to the problem for this -- it happening and Romney is is that the the attack from her being wealthy.

Is so biased because.

For Hillary Rosen she's number work today in her life in terms of having done not to have the resources -- -- salt what does she know but ordinary people the president the White House.

With what she's in the White House doing -- we discovered 35 times representing clients.

Whose interest surveyor I got -- a -- is unbelievable I'm so I'm shocked that bill mom would want to keep this doubled down on what looks to me like you're losing political strategy all it's really it's a winner diet.

-- -- corner Monica pat -- thanks very much indeed they should.
