mrs. clinton had taken power unto herself in such an obvious way in the white house. >> incidentally, nancy reagan, who has become somewhat of a friend of eleanor's because eleanor has written a couple of pieces about her and nancy thought that they were fair and showed her first ladyship in a different light than was generally thought, has bn reading the book. and she came to us and said she was especially struck by the moynihan chapter and the role of liz moynih. and in thinking about it, it's because liz moynihan plays her relationship with senator moynihan the way nancy did with president reagan-- in the backgrnd and not up front. >> but these women act as buffers for their husband in the real world-- everything from the house work to the political fu-raising. >> now how did... i want to come back to that because there's a good story in here i want to ask you about-- how did you two divide up the work? >> well, first of all, it took about three years to do it altogether, and did a lot of the interviewing together. we would go... during our work days, we both had permission from our boss

mr. flynt to normal ize deviance of bill clinton. his deviance had nothing to do with sex, it had to do with the chief law enforcement officer in the united states engaging in perjury and obstruction of justice, and evidence of this, of course, is that president clinton was the first president to lose his law license because of his perjury and obstruction of justice. so this attempt will, you know, just be a way of larry flynt of normalizing himself. >> well, i would say that's not accurate. what we were doing is we were telling an important story in the case of bill clinton in which this trial, this national saga over sex captivated the public mind and distracted us from a serious threat to america. one of which was al qaeda. in the 9/11 commission report, the commissioners flat out lay it out that monica lewinsky scandal distracted the administration and kept us from doing what we should have been doing, protecting the american public. rather than focusing on the silly sex scandal. >> but you are never going to convince everyone on

the clinton administration record on deficits, on debt, on economic growth and job creation is the best, by far, of all modern presidents. mr. president, facts are stubborn things. now, we have a tax code today that is riddled with tax expenditures, riddled with tax expenditures. we are losing to the treasury $1.1 trillion a year to tax expenditures, tax preferences, tax loopholes, tax exclusions. and guess who gets most of t benefit? 26% of the benefit goes to the top 1% of those tax expenditures, those tax loopholes, those tax preferences. here is one of the most conservative economists in america, martin feldstein, professor of economics at harvard, chairman of the council of economic advisors under president reagan. this is what he said about tax expenditures on july 20 of last year. "cutting tax expenditures is really the best way to reduce government spending ... eliminating tax expenditures does not increase marginal tax rates or reduce the reward for saving, investment, or risk-taking. it would also increase overall economic efficiency by removing incentives that distort private spenng decisions. and eliminating or

mr. dreier: i yield to clinton township, new jersey, mr. lance. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey is recognized for 1 1/2 minutes. mr. lance: thank you, chairman dreier, for your leadership on this important issue. i rise in support of the rule and i rise in support of the underlying legislation which is by its nature bipartisan, bicameral and a compromise that avoids default, adds certainty to our economic recovery and puts our nation on a sustainable path toward fiscal responsibility. what we need in america is jobs, jobs, jobs, and this will help that effort forward. this support is consistent with my long-standing efforts to bring fiscal sanity to new jersey and to be among those attempting to bring it here to washington. the main portions of the compromise have been outlined, but for the first time the narrative on capitol hill is no longer how much can government spend but how we can best reduce spending. this new awakening to fiscal prudence is in the best from of the nation and indeed i believe it is the critical issue

mr. obama is only the third president since 1900 to turn 50 in the white house. theodore roosevelt marked the day with a cabinet meeting. president clintona star studded $10 million fundraiser and like those predecessors, barack obama's once jet black hair is now turning gray. an outward reminder of the burdens of the office. >> the climb was going to be steep. i have to admit, i didn't know how steep the climb was going to be. >> at the white house today, there was no shortage of birthday greetings. supporting the eastern high school band of washington, d.c. lined up outside the fence to salute the president. and there's a party this evening, barbecue for family and friends. so you met barack obama when he was about 30 years old and he was michelle's fiance. > valerie is one of the president's closest confidants. >> he embraced it as the next phase of life and enjoys it. it is certainly better than the alternative. so i think he is perfectly fine with being 50. >> and at 50, barack obama is still younger than all the major republicans who are after his job. bill plant, cbs news, the white house. >>> tiger woods is back and so is his cad

clinton instead. the recent negotiations over the debt ceiling are seen by many as the lowest point in mr.bama's presidency. it's not just republicans who are comparing barack obama to jimmy carter or saying he will be a-term president. one strategist told the newspaper the telegraph the democrats are worried. the president looks weak. he doesn't say that grabs you. people are looking for some kind ever magic. that's a quote. some democratic activists are asking if the party needs someone tougher to fight against the tea party. someone like hillary clinton. they point out that hillary like bill has tougher political instincts than president obama. during the campaign, hillary claimed that although then candidate obama inspired the masses, she had the experience to get the job done. it's easy to see why democrats are nervous about the chances. his ratings are at or near all time lows for his presidency and only 1/3 of americans approve of how he is handling the economy, the number one issue. one receipt poll showed 44% of voters said they are more likely to vote for a generic republican in
