Ken Rudin and Ron Elving review the week in politics. President Obama performs a balancing act, functioning as both "Uniter-in-Chief" in the wake of the deadly tornado in Oklahoma and "Commander-in-Chief" as he defends the use of drones. The guys also weigh in on Lois Lerner, the IRS official who pleads the 5th, but only after giving an opening statement. And former Rep. Anthony Weiner makes it official — he's running for mayor of New York.
