that was june 13 of 1999 when george w. bush made his first campaign visit. he was the governor in the field but there were several other people and that wasn't particularly a strong field except his last name was bush. i think this field is fine. there's been hankering for governor mitch williams to get in. haley barbour. >> on the economy do the republicans have to have ideas, plans or sit enough just to beat up on obama? >> i think it's enough for now to beat up on obama. after all, it worked for obama when he was run for president. when you're a candidate you can say things. so at this point i think republicans cannot offer spervings but down if line as they start to different from one another, look for people to ask specifics about their economic plans. we talked early, there's not that much specifically washington can do so there's not that much a presidential candidate can propose because they don't have access to all the things. gwen: you talked about how early it is in the race and how things change. john edwards in two cycles was a formidable candida

crimes now only that these men like karl rove donald rumsfeld dick cheney john yoo jay bybee even george w. bush himself are thumbing their noses at american hearing on television touting their crimes going on book tours and a case of attorney john you know teaching law and jay bybee rewarded by bush with a lifetime seat on the ninth circuit court one step below the supreme court not only that there are thousands of banks toure's on wall street who stole trillions of dollars from us and ruined the lives of billions of people around the world with their theft from global financial markets damage done as a result of in many cases premeditated fraud but they still sit in their corner offices on wall street still making their millions in bonuses and have yet to even catch a whiff of the rule of law in america. elsewhere around america you have big energy c.e.o.'s who have the blood of countless men on their hands as a result of exploding oil rigs and collapsing coal mines as well as thousands of cancers and billions of dollars in environmental destruction on their watch yet not one is facing crimina

clinton went to war in kosovo a war that was very popular but is still being debated and then george w. bush came to power thanks to the supreme court in two thousand and like reagan bush had plans to start a war for political capital that he told his biographer mickey herskowitz back in one thousand nine hundred ninety before you even started running for president and if he became president he was going to invade iraq to earn enough political capital to privatized social security. but then i'm eleven happened instead and instead of a one time war as bush had intended he and his handlers like donald rumsfeld dick cheney opted for a perpetual war a war on terror it would last as long as his presidency was. so afghanistan half of iraq happened and countless other covert military actions in places like yemen happen with the war on terror the george w. bush dreamed up the as face of america was for the first time involved in a war without any clear ending. a recipe for a perpetual war or a well in perpetual war. that's not how bush justified is endless war. and we can really call that. a might a

being right side up to the stars being upside down coincided with the coming on the scene of george w. bush and karl rove very strange i think they need an exorcism. but let's exercise appears the actions of the number one and the bush tax cuts number two and the bush wars and number three and the crazy notion that corporations are people of that money is speech and that the rich can buy our nation if we did that we might bring the republican party back to sanity back to its dwight eisenhower roots back to the days when they actually could have an opposite opinion from the democrats but honestly broker solutions and situations and have reasonable conversations exorcisms for the republican party. our ship of state is headed toward another financial crisis iceberg and republicans are at the helm why because since the financial crisis of two thousand and eight little has been done to reform wall street of its bad behavior and what little has been done republicans are now trying to undo at the end of last week the republican controlled house appropriations committee passed legislation that cuts

ten years ago george w. bushd the american people in the eye and promised us his tax cut would do big things for the country. he promised us the same with another round of tax cuts in 2003. well, instead, with a stroke of his pen, mr. bush took that budget surplus and turned it into a mountain of debt, $2.5 trillion to be exact. bush claimed the cuts would drive economic growth, create jobs, but what followed, question mark, the "new york times" asked last november, quote, the decade with the slowest average annual growth since world war ii. that statement is true even if you forget about the great recession and simply look at 2001 through 2007. but it didn't have to be this way, folks. thanks to progress, they did the math. they said for the same price as the bush tax cuts, we could have sent tens of millions of students to college, retrofitted every household in america with the capacity to generate alternative energy, hired millions of firefighters, police officers, given kids health care coverage, or put mill

if you ask them who they blame for the economy, they say george w. bush that. this tuesday, june 7th, is the ten-year anniversary of the bush tax cuts that were supposed to assure this huge economic growth -- >> which president obama agreed to extend. >> for two years and which he now says that we have to let expire for a very simple reason -- >> which he said before. >> well, and he extended them very -- he extended them because we had to get -- keep the economy moving here and we had to keep things going. but let me make a point here which is that the debt that my friend, ed, likes to talk about, half of that is from those tax cuts. if those tax cuts had actually functioned the way the way the republicans said they were going to, why did we enter a recession in 2007? why was our economy laying off jobs that almost a million a month by the time president obama took office? why do we have such a deep economic hole? the reality is that everybody needs to get together in this town to work together, to find some solutions, to significant economic challenges.
