Reaction ranged from Democratic exuberance to Republican outrage over President Obama’s decision to stop deportations for some younger illegal immigrants.  Mitt Romney has yet to come out decisively for or against the order, but said that he’d look toward a “long-term solution” dealing with the issue.  Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) breaks down the reaction of the Latino community and what it means for their support in November.

In response to the President’s executive order, Romney has stated that he, too, would seek an immigration reform law if elected. But as MSNBC.com’s Michael O’Brien writes, the Republican nominee hasn’t laid out many concrete plans with regard to his own immigration policy.

MSNBC’s own Alex Wagner discusses how the Governor’s five-state bus tour was overshadowed by President Obama’s executive order.

Is Greece on their way out of the European Union?  The cradle of modern democracy faces a huge vote on Sunday to decide just that.  A new political and economic system could spark economic fires across Europe and the world.   Economist Zachary Karabell, a contributor for Newsweek and The Daily Beast, runs through some potential outcomes of Sunday’s vote, and the EU’s possible contagion plan.

In preparation for Sunday’s vote, many Greek citizens have withdrawn their cash from banks and stocking up on supplies.  CNBC reports that the amount withdrawn could be as much as 800 million euros.

As the economic crisis grows, many Greeks are forced to abandon money altogether. NBC’s Yuka Tachibana reports on the rise of bartering in Greece.

While much of Europe falters, the one economic stronghold has been Germany.  But msnbc.com’s John Schoen warns that Germans are growing tired of being Europe’s economic crutch.

There's been a lot of finger pointing between the Obama and Romney campaigns lately over who is to blame for a struggling economy.  While Team Romney is quick to jump on President Obama for not solving the financial crisis, Team Obama blames Republicans’ record over the past decade. Today’s roundtable broke down whether the country will vote with their brains, hearts, or wallets come November.

It's not just a verbal back and forth between the two campaigns -- both camps have new TV ads painting the other candidate as economically irresponsible.  Check out the President's attack ad and Governor Romney's attack of his own and let us know what you think.

Michael D. Shear of the New York Times writes that Governor Romney may have some difficulty defending his own economic record.

TIME has their own opinions on who are the 25 people to blame for the financial crisis; and some of the answers may surprise you.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has some history with both President Obama and Mitt Romney. Netanyahu’s dealings with the president have had their rough spots and, even though Romney has touted working with him in the past, he’s making a point of downplaying his ties to the governor. Vanity Fair's David Margolick took a dive deep into how Netanyahu influences American politics.

Margolick's piece in Vanity Fair is a big look at the life of the Israeli leader.

In case you forgot, last year President Obama and then-French President Nicolas Sarkozy were caught on an open microphone talking about Netanyahu – and it wasn’t so flattering.

The New York Times' Michael Barbaro detailed the old ties between Romney and Netanyahu in April.

According to the AP, Johnson has now qualified with the FEC for federal matching campaign funds, and he's been polling anywhere from 6-12 percent in various state polls – a number that could have an impact on Romney and Obama.

On Friday's show, D.C. native and NBC News White House Correspondent Mike Viqueira defended his hometown against a slew of gripes and groans against the District. 

While Mike may have busted quite a few myths about his hometown, he also got us thinking. What else do we know or don't know about the District? Here are a few more facts about Washington, D.C. that may surprise you:

1)  Even though 5.4 million people live in the DMV (District, Maryland and Virginia), D.C. is fiftieth in total population.  The District’s 601,0723 people ranks ahead of only Wyoming’s 563,626. Between 2000 and 2010, D.C. experienced its first decennial population increase since the 1940s, increasing by 5.2 percent to surpass 600,000 people.

2) Only one former president, Woodrow Wilson, remained in D.C. to live after his term in office ended.  The Woodrow Wilson House Museum is still available for tours near Dupont Circle.

3) Washington is the birthplace of “go-go” music and the hometown of its late creator Chuck Brown.

Former Alabama Congressman Artur Davis, says he is making a political party and geographical change. Davis, who served as a Democratic Representative from Alabama's 7th district for eight years, said on his website that he's now a resident of Virgina, and if he ever decided to run for political office in Virginia he'd do so as a Republican.

Davis joined us a few times as a Daily Rundown panelist, do you hear anything in the below segments suggesting he'd switch parties or run again? Let us know!
