DAVID GREGORY:
Good morning. The first snow storm of the winter makes an early fall landing, blanketing the east coast from Maryland to New England, leaving more than two million homes without power. This is how it's going to look a couple of months from now in Iowa when the caucuses are underway. And this morning we have a clear snapshot of how the Republican field now stands. In the new Des Moines Register poll, Herman Cain and Mitt Romney are on top. Back in Washington, the president focused on his own reelection and the need to jumpstart the economy as a new strategy.

DAVID GREGORY:
And he did, (UNINTEL) four executive actions to make some economic fixes in housing, student loans, job training and business. Here with us to go inside the President's reelection playbook, his 2008 campaign manager and now senior White House advisor, David Plouffe. Good to have you back.

DAVID PLOUFFE:
Thanks having (SIC) me, David.

DAVID GREGORY:
So is this the new strategy in Washington, we can't get along, the President's going to essentially govern via Fiat and do things on his own?

DAVID PLOUFFE:
Well, as you know, David, the President's put forward the American Jobs Act, which is something that would create up to two million jobs in the short term, really give a jumpstart to our economy. And right now, we haven't been able to get, legally, Republicans in Congress to cooperate. So we're going to continue to push for things like cutting taxes for the middle class, putting construction workers back to work.

They can claim Romney is near the top. But it’s only in their fake polls and creative writing.

Does this mean they tried illegal means to get Republicans to turn? Maybe bribes failed, too???

Is the White House trying to bribe or blackmail Republicans in Congress? That's an incredibly bizarre comment from Plouffe.
