how do we become too americas? how do we stop being an american with shared prosperity and values and shared sense of democracy? how we lose the title of land of opportunity because if you study reasoned sociology you will find people can rise more rapidly, more easily in other countries than in america? that didn't used to be the case. how do we move from an era of great by partisan politics of middle class power and prosperity and now live in bitter partisan gridlock and equal democracy to learn a quality in our economy and the middle class stock in a rut. with that predicament of hours as the outcome of irresistible market forces that advance of technology and globalization and how the country like germany and others like how does a country protect its middle class and do much better on the global market than we have done? what's happened to the political middle in america why can't we find the bridge any more? where has it gone? why are we stuck in these extremes? well, let me confess to you right off the bat t

america can help that happen.e need to make sure they have the arms they need to carry out the very important role which getting rid of assad. >> can we get a quick response, mr. president? >> i will be very quick. what you just heard governor romney say -- he doesn't have different ideas. that's because we are doing exactly what we should be doing to try to promote a moderate, syrian leadership and an effective transition so that we get assad out. that's the kind of leadership we have shown. that's the kind of leadership we will continue to show. >> may i ask you, you know, during the egyptian turmoil, there came a point when you said it was time for president mubarak to go. some in your administration thought perhaps we should have waited a while on that. do you have any regrets about that? >> no, i don't. because i think that america has to stand with democracy. the notion that we would have tanks run over those young people who were in tahrir square, that is not the kind of american leadership that john f. ken

they are buying america on the cheap. when we have other countries that cannot manage their economy down in central and south america, we send down the american ambassador. we send down the international monetary fund and we tell them what they can buy and what they can sell and how to run their economies. the ultimate irony is to have that happen to us because foreigners finally quit buying your securities. so what we need in this country is someone like mike dukakis who gave 10 balanced budgets in a row and was able to do that, meet that of a commitment, set the stuff priorities. we need an administration that will turn this trade policy around and open those markets, stand tough with our trading partners to help keep the jobs at home and send products abroad. >> senator bentsen talks about running up the debt. the governor of massachusetts has run up more debt than all the governors in the history of massachusetts combined going back to the days of the pilgrims. i do believe that that is the kind of policy that we want

[laughter] you probably don't remember this call, but i remember we called governor christie a couple of days before the election and said how are things looking in new jersey. he said we are going to win, and he talked about all the reasons why. we got off that phone, and we said if chris christie can win in new jersey, bob mcdonald and bill bolling can win in virginia, and it will send a good message, and it did. and governor christie has done a wonderful job over the last three years leading the state of new jersey. this is a guy that inherited a $10 million budget

that sounds great here in america. my thought is the state department would cringe and say we'll mitigate that somewhat overseas when it comes to our interests and our interests alone. >> i think you have to look at that word shape events. if you look at the world, the united states can to a certain extent shape some events. there is a lot going on that the united states realistically cannot shape. there are forces at work in the world that are simply motivated by the people in various countries, and so this idea that even that phrase the free world to me has kind of a cold war feeling to it, and, yes, when the world was divided in half between the soviet union and the u.s., maybe there was more that the u.s. could do. right now it is a complicated and complex mix, and especially economically, i think it is going to be very interesting to listen to what he says economically. right now that's the name of the game, energy policy, economics, et cetera. so talking about the united states leading, we have to hear the specif

i think in terms of america's cup proposition, if what america's cup is doing is requiring new efforts beyond what would be provided for fleet week, that is what we want to see in our being. for example america's cup will do some activating on marina green. awe we know fleet week has the bulk of the main park. so to the extent there are rec park costs for overseeing that build or, you know, other security things we have to stretch down, one other thing we are doing is bicycle valet. not something fleet week has done in the past but something we have in the america cup people plan. that is something we are expecting our budget to pay for, not fleet week. it is things different and kind from what people understood. those are ones we want to come to us. >> i apologize that i don't actually know this but has fleet week usually taken place with strictly bluegrass festival? >> my understanding is this was a this year thing. that generally doesn't get scheduled together. but there being so few weekends in this time of year, i think everyone tries to pile as many of their great events in as th
