louisiana, florida, alabama, mississippi. this could go on for a while. relatively new. >> what kind of grade do you give obama on a foreign policy, important achievement scale? >> well, i think -- the real test for him is going to be in the middle east. and that is as we say, to come. we don't know how his policies will work up, where that's where the real threats to the united states -- in 10 years, by the way, since i believe the united states is going to come energy-efficient, self- sufficient in 10 year, because of all the new technology this we're developing for oil and natural gas, i think the roll of the middle east will decline. >> obama has had quite a successful in many respects, top three people of al-qaobama. >> meaning eck terminated. >> i give obama high marks for fulfilling bush's foreign

policy. he's been very good at executing bush's foreign policy, particularly the war on terrorism, very focused. he's brought power to bear in a very smart way. he's gotten the people he needed getting. in terms of his own foreign policy, i agree with mort, i think it's tk, the issues that he's taking on himself whether arab, or building a different relationship with china, still to be determined. i think the key thing is leverage. don't think the fact that he is carrying forward the bush- cheney policy diminishes what obama is doing? he's willing to see credibility and -- where it is. >> john -- [everyone talking at once] >> we absolutely must deal with the issue of terrorism, and i think he's right to follow it. >> politically he's reverseeds expectations, and democrats supposed to be good on the domestic issues and the economy, and weak on national security. >> we don't know how -- iraq

will turn out. we don't know how afghanistan will turn out. we don't know how iran will turn out. we don't know how egypt will turn out or the middle east, israel, the whole palestinian thing will turn out. that's for second term. >> obama has been in mediational role. >> i think a lot of what obama has done is right and i think it is wise and i think some of the things getting out of there, i think we got to get out of afghanistan and iran. but i don't know how it will -- >> win a second term? >> no, i think it's 50- >> i that's pretty good odds when you look at 9.1% unemployment! >> look at that! >> i can't imon your observations. when you consider unemployment, come barrel on down the road. when we

at bank of america, we're lending and investing in the people and communities who call greater washington, d.c. home. from supporting an organization that helps new citizens find their way... to proudly supporting our washington redskins... and partnering with a school that brings academic excellence to the anacostia community. because the more we do in greater washington, d.c., the more we help make opportunity possible. issue two, that used to be us. >> we should be able to agree now that it makes no sense for china to have better rail systems than us and singapore having better airports than us and we just learned that china has the fastest super computer on earth. that used to be us!

>> president obama delivered those remarks roughly one year ago. mr. obama says that when he sees the growth and innovation of other countries, he thinks to himself, that used to be us. in other words, the american dream is on the ropes. 15million americans now unemployed. 50million americans now live in poverty! salaries for americans are at the lowest in ye the decline subject book title behow amer behind the world it invented and now we can come back. the book was co-written by new york times columnist tom friedman, our guest panelist. the book's co-author is johns hopkins university professor michael mannedbalm. the authors describe the book as a wake-up call for corrective action to keep the american dream alive if thus

preserve american power in the world. the key to america's resurgence they argue is to mimic china's surging without mimicking china's politics. tom friedman, the book appears to be america has fallen behind the world, that america invented. can you give us a rap sheet on that. >> the basic argument is simple. we argue that what made america great is we had an amazing public-private partnership and the public side of that that enabled the private sector and growth these years, was bit. on five pillars. one we educated our people beyond to whatever the technology was, cot in gin or the super computers. second we had the best infrastructure, roads, airports, telecom. third when the most own immigration policy to attract the brightest minds, and most energetic people to start 30 to 40% of the companies every year in silicon valley. four we have the best rules for

capital formation for risk taking and preventing recklessness and lastly the most government funded research to push out of the boundaries of science and physics and chemistry. education, we've falling end down the international table. infrastructure, i just flew from hong kong to los angeles, it's like flying from the jetsons to the flintstones. >> you mean the quality of the airport? >> exactly. >> in hong kong? >> right. third, immigration, we basically have a republican debate. who can put up the most electric fences? the message, is go away. we want to educate you here, then gets the heck out of our country. rulings for capital in very muching? and government funded research, have you seen that? is looks like an ekg heading for a heart attack. if you like at the five pillars of our success as a country, they're all heading in the wrong direction. and therefore, we're not getting the most out of the our system. we think america is the greatest political system in

the world. china today is getting 90% out of an inferior system and we're getting 50% out of a superior system. >> so this is -- this is ledge time, go out on a ledge and take a jump, meaning is it that bad? on the wake of what buchanan says the problems r it's really a very dreary picture that is out there. >> i think it's all fixable. >> i think it's a get diagnostic and -- book full of worthy ideas. bill clinton also has a book out about how to put americans to work. but i don't think what either of you do is give any prescriptions how to penetrate the political paralysis in the country. and i think president obama if he were here would agree with everything you said. he gave you the phrase for your book. >> we do have a -- believe we may need a third party. >> we do have an ideological -- >> time for a third party [everyone talking at once] >> yes, we -- a. >> how about an independent

candidate? [everyone talking at once] >> bloomberg would not carry new york city. support a bloomberg city. obama would carry new york city. sink the candidate to whom it's closest. owners touched on, it we have an ideological and political gridlock in this country. people disagree profoundly on what to do. we can't even build that pipeline from canada down to the gulf of mexico. they're putting it of off for 17 more months. china would have that -- [everyone talking at once] >> that's because a republican governor -- >> i don't care republican or democrat! there's a deadlock! there's a deadlock! >> there's a scientlitical para >> could you build hoover dam

now? no. cue build a interstate highway system now? no, you couldn't get the permit! >> who paid for hoover dam? >> fdr did, john, he i don't want a check. >> there are! >> you can't build it bus of a -- >> this is what friedman says in his book. "our biggest problem is not that we're failing to keep up with china's best practices. but that we've strayed so far from our own best practices. america's future depends not on our adapting features of the chinese system, note that pat, but on making our lone democratic system work with the kind of focus, moral authority, seriousness, collective action, and stick to itness that china has managed to generated by authoritarian means for the last several decades. >> the point you just made. >> we don't agree, john. this is the problem. the americans no longer agree

on what we ought to do. >> that's right. >> >> it's not about solutions, it's about power. and the republicans have been very successful at creating political dysfunction at and blaming president obama for not being able to fix it. >> >> it's what is right with the country. >> what is the answer, judging from where he comes from, on the -- ladder, right? >> fortunately it's not the ledge because i ain't jumping off, guys. i'm just telling you. >> i want to know where capitalism, not in its purist form, whether capitalism is slowly running out of steam. >> i don't think so at all. i think what you have now and its implicit in what was being discusseseds is a sense that bureaucrat, and political environment is one of great inhibitors of what capitalism really can do for this country and did for many, many decades. >> do you translate that as

mort saying if you had the tenacity of purpose to fulfill the serious underwriting of capitalism, you would have what you have in your book. do you think these what he is saying, and do you believe that? >> i -- we're not that far away from what we need to be. [everyone talking at once] >> we are i think the system can work, okay? we are not that far away. we need a grand bargain right now, between the two parties. some short-term stimulus, some long-term fiscal responsibility of the simpson bowls nature. the problem is now yes the republicans have been blocking president obama. but my problem with president obama is he isn't butting that grand plan out there. that's my problem. why is that? >> he's lost the moral and political authority frankly to do that now, for whatever reason. >> for good? >> not necessarily for good. but you see the -- his approval

level and the fact that he has no personal relations with the leaders of the other party, it's just really amazing how bad -- >> the latter part that is hurting him more than anything. >> i'm sorry! >> pay attention to it. >> john, where you get the money when you republicans won't give you a nick nell new taxes for what tom friedman wants to do. >> capitalism tied down! strong late at the neck by the republicans. right? we'll be right
