you took a risk in founding aol. and you had the velocity to grow.nd now you're sitting in the interesting position of looking at the situation today and your personal experience as being one of the 4% who made it to a billion in revenue from zero. what are the top lessons and initiatives you think can be applied? >> first of all, it's great to be here. when eric asked me to join this event, it was called the young guns, i was flattered because i think of myself as an old guy. [laughter] when i started aol, i was in my mid 20s, and it was the first internet company to go public, i was in my early 30s, but now that i'm in my 50s, it's always nice to be included in a young guns forum. and it's great to have people in washington focused more on the role entrepreneurship has played on forming our nation. a little bit of context. i did start with two other co-founders, not far from here in virginia. 1985, we built that into a pretty significant company. and in the last ten years or so i've focused on investing in companies and partnering in companies incl

you took a risk in founding aol. and you have the velocity to grow, and now you're sitting in an interesting position of looking at the situation today and your your personal expenses being one of the ones who made it to a billion in revenue. what are the top lessons that can be applied to? >> first of all its great to be your. when eric asked me to join this event, it was called young guns. i was flattered to i think of myself as an old gun. we took the public pashtun the company public almost 20 years ago. it's always nice to be included in a young gun for. it's great to have people in washington focus more on the role entrepreneurship has played in building our nation, and needs to play going forward. so i'll answer that question all of it in context. i did so with two other cofounders, not far from here, in 1985. we built that into a pretty significant company. and the last 10 years or so i focus on investing in companies, partnering income is including one this picture, living social, with four people, now there

the aol spirit is less common these days, and that is a problem because much of a a well -- much of aol's business happened after it went public. there are a number of things in the house and senate bills that will deal with raising the cap and having an on-ramp, which is a big deal in terms of job creation. the second, which also has bipartisan support, is called crowd funding, along platforms used to fund projects like a documentary to also fund businesses, with certain precautions. the proposal has some support. if you are raising less than $1 million and the individual investments are less than $10,000, they essentially have been carved-out. that is a big deal that a lot of companies that have a problem because they rely on their own money and informal friends and family money, from that point to real venture- capital it is quite challenging. third, which i think is the most important, but i recognize the most sensitive, is immigration. we have got to win the global battle for talent. the companies are created by people passionate about their ideas. we attract some of the best and bri

then when i was president of aol i used to say, i'm running the fastest growing city in the world. we would go from a million to 4 million to 7 million, 12 million people. and governing really is a function of focusing on the vital few. and what i think is what has happened is there is so much noise it our system right now that we've lost sight of what the big vital deliverables of the government is. e empl fiing the best ways to work around goals that are measurable. and that's the thing that i keep coming back to. if you're a small business, midsize business, biggest industry in the world, you have share the goals and metrics. and on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly basis you can review to see how you're doing. and and the company with the biggest budget of all time, we don't do that. and i just don't get it. so i think that's -- if we could force that kind of accountability where we had a national score card around the big deliverables and how we are doing, it would certainly make your election vote easier. it wouldn't be based on rhetoric. it would be based on deliverable. a

also howard fineman aol huffingto know post director. steve whashgs do these results mean to you at first glance, santorum having what looks like the night he needed to have? >> at first glance i don't think they changed the overall trajectory of the race. i think mitt romney is highly likely barring catastrophe to be the republican nominee. it's a bad night for newt gingrich because it giving rick santorum some claim he's the chief alternative to governor romney heading forward to the march 5th super tuesday states. i think one of the interesting aspects of it is in the republican primary coming in second place is usually a ticket to ride in the next election. so i think that's one reason you're going to see rick santorum keep going to establish himself as the solid runner-up in that contest he's now in against newt gingrich. >> howard fineman, there's a ppp poll out today talking about the personab personal popularity of these candidates. it found rick santorum's personal popularity is over 40%, 72% in missouri, 71% in colorado. mitt r

"you betrayed me, pattie. you said that we would handle this off-line, and a good man is being ruined as a result." and he snapped his briefcase shut and stormed out of the room and said, "i resign." and, one of the other directors said, "can we accept his resignation?" the general counsel said, "yes." he put the motion on the table. it was seconded and passed within seconds. >> and that was that? >> that was that. so he drove off and ended up going onto his mega yacht in the mediterranean. and i suspect he thought over the ensuing days that it was just unaccept

but i would say that it's another example of what's happening to some of these old portals like aol.ansforming into this new era of google and facebook and just these kinds of growing pains, it doesn't seem great to me what's going on with yahoo! right now. >> john, this was always going to be a complicated sale because there were huge tax issues and a complicated structure. is it possible that they would have broken off for a positive reason? could there be a grand plan from here or do we have to assume that it's negative and they've been unable to surmount those difficulties? >> we have to assume it's negative. if there was a good plan, we would have heard more about it, not just in this leak to all thin thin thingsd. i think it's bad news, we have to assume it wasn't an intentional move on their part to do something more strategic. >> reporter: john, i think that yahoo! really needs this deal to work. i would be surprised if this was broken off by yahoo!. this seems like the kind of thing that yahoo! really makes needs to happen because of the value of some of its assets. at this
