During an unannounced trip to Afghanistan, President Barack Obama said the U.S. and Afghanistan are now committed to replacing war with peace. The new Strategic Partnership Agreement establishes a framework for U.S. involvement in Afghanistan from 2014 to 2024, and pledges economic and security resources from the U.S. NBC's Chuck Todd reports.
One year after the death of Osama bin laden, President Obama makes a surprise trip to Afghanistan and Republicans are squirming.
Ed will have full reaction and analysis of the president’s big speech (set for 7:30pET) with Eugene Robinson, MSNBC Analyst and Associate Editor and Pulitzer Prize winning Columnist for the Washington Post, and Richard Wolffe, MSNBC Political Analyst.
Then, Jon Soltz, Chairman of Vote Vets, comments on the politics of killing bin Laden.
President Obama's poll numbers are rising and a new Obama ad hits Mitt Romney where it really hurts. E.J. Dionne, a Senior Fellow at The Brookings Institution and Washington Post columnist, will look at Obama's attempt to define Romney now vs. later.
Romney claims he supports pay equity, but is silent on the paycheck fairness act. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) will join Ed to set the record straight about the Republicans' latest attack on women.
Sen. Scott Brown's hypocrisy on the health care law is simply stunning. Ed shows us how his family benefits from the law he wants to repeal.
And five weeks to election day, Scott Walker swims in out-of-state cash and calls in reinforcements like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Tonight, Democratic hopeful Kathleen Falk gives us her plan to defeat Walker.

President Obama committing the United States of America for another 12 more years!!!
OMG!
melinda, stick a cork in it.
the trip is a good thing. as an independent chris and you are to hard left for me and soured mr obama's trip.
Why the big deal in Romney Ads calling the President a community organizer? I would much rather that type person representing me rather than one purchased by a wealthy donor outside of my community. The difference could not be clearer to me.
What r u smoking A Human...must be from Chicago
Obama explained his committment very clearly combat troops coming home as he said 2014 we've been in vietnam since the 60's, japan since pearl harbor, germany since ww11 its standard procedure but since hes doing it the right makes it sound ludicress and their lemming followers act like this is something new and insane sheeesh its normal
How has Mitt Romney fared financially during the Obama administration?
I bet my 401k took a bigger hit during last summer's deficit debacle than he did.
My guess is that his losses only came from running for office.
Yes the 2008 race didn't work particularly well for him and he did finance it
but of course this year hasn't worked out so well either it's just his competition was much much worse
Mitt had to spend huge amounts to erk out little victories wasting a lot of pac money....luckily he's got tons more but it may not be enough seeing as how his last competition was barely competent and Obama is a fierce campaigner
perhaps Ann will have to sell a couple of her austrian warm bloods or they'll have to hire one less housekeeper.......living on edge eh Romneys......yeah right
Republicans are running like scared little woodland animals. Not only have they reminded the public about OBL and how Bush did not get him but also Obama is being stern....too much in my opinion....on commitment to Afghanistan. They know that GW shutdown the Bin Laden unit in 2006 and had an opportunity to hit him and didn't because of the potential fallout. See George realized that if it failed it would have ruined him like it did Jimmy Carter so he passed it up. The operation that got Bin Laden was not aided by CIA black sites, water-boarding or any significant Bush policy, we got him because of Obama restarting the hunt old W ended with the help of a courageous doctor in pakistan.
So W deserves credit......yeah he does deserve credit for mismanaging both Iraq and Afghanistan which he started illegally
