often called the dean of the arkansas political press. all those years clinton was governor i was an editorial writer. all those years we always endorsed him warmly saying he still has promised. one more term, and he will do it right. goes on to list improvements and says he was good for arkansas, a better governor than the vast majority. yet he was so smart with so much talent and a rare political gifts. that was always it. so much promise, and he did not deliver. he led us to expect miracles, and all we got was modest. i think that is true of him as president as well. part of the failures as president was because of whitewater. if the republicans had not taken over congress and whitewater had not be there we might have had a national health care system, and he might have done a great deal more. i still think he was a pretty good president, but that's it. maybe a little above fair, but that's all. you look back, and it seems like so much waste, so much unfulfilled promise. all american presidents must be if not all things to all people,

to see whether the center of -- will remain somewhere in the state of missouri or move south to arkansas. we will let you know as soon as we know. another way of looking at change in the population over time is to consider the relative sizes of the four major regions of the country. in 1910, the west region comprised only 7.7% of the national population. in 1990, for the very first time, the northeast became our smallest region with 20.4%. in contrast, by the 2000 census, the west was 22.5% versus that earlierbased on the 2010 resulte note that this is the very first decade in our country's history that the west region is more populous than the midwest. with the largest and smallest populations in the country. in 1910, four of the five most populous states were in the northeast and midwest, with texas as a fifth. starting in 1940, california displaced texas. by 1970, texas rejoined the top five. in 1990, florida joined the top five. new york is the only state that has ranked among the five largest in each decade -- in fact, this is been true since 1790. what are the top five most populou

robert from arkansas. go morning. welcome to the conversation. caller: good morni. i think we have a lot on our plates. but a comment, the insurance proposal mandatory was put in by the insurance companies. and the problem that we have or i have is the public option was to work like a public utility. you didn't have to buy it but it would be available. and that is the way we build our infrastructure or electrical grids, our roads, our suers. and he completely, the president completely sold us out on the public option. but my primary point is, this ll not recover unless we look at global standards for global economy. you know, it's amazing that we have these federal standards on companies in the united states and we allow that same company to go to a countryike communist china, produce that product, and bring it back. the olympics were held in china and ty were very successful. and no one complained about the fairness of it. but yet, we talk about free markets. well, of course if you eliminate all standards, then it's going to be produced. it will appear to be cheape

caller: arkansas. host: ok. go ahead. caller: a couple of quick facts. people making $250,000 per year tax that 40% make $12,250 per month. people making 50% of all -- $50,000 for your tax that 30% makes $3,000 per month. people making the federal minimum wage at $7.25 per hour with no stop -- with no tax make quelled hundred $60 per month. tell me who is -- make $1,250 per month. tell me who is rich into is not. -- who is rich and who is not. host: efforts defeated for the second time this year -- host: "the washington post" had this for their beat editorial this morning -- host: back to the phones and our discussion on principled compromise. shannon, pennsylvania. democratic line. caller: i am calling because this bill is a bad bill because it undermines social security. people will be putting one-third less into the social security fund than they are right now. when this is done, the republicans will say that social security as damaged goods. and then they will try to undermine social security with privatization. remember what happened when they priva

and i am from arkansas. host: arkansas, excuse me. do you think this is a potential good compromise? caller: yes, i do. host: ok. thank you for your call. orlando, florida, mary on our democrats' line. caller: if you want more jobs, tax cut -- tax cuts for the rich don't work. the bush tax cut in 2001 and 2003 for the corporations and rich did not generate more jobs. there were reports and articles showing that employers and corporate owners did not use their tax cuts to reinvest into the workplace. in fact, i was one of those who suffered. workers were made by their employers -- one worker was made to do the job of two or three people. overtime pay was cut back under bush's secretary of labor and job tide will and security was eliminated. so, tax cuts to the rich and corporate employers was and is a joke. they pocket the money and they make workers work harder or they outsource. host: texas, james, independent line. caller: good morning. first of all, what i think -- a quick four-point deal. when it comes to the tax hikes for the ric

hot springs, arkansas. back to earmarks. caller: the republicans and democrats have still not got it. i think we need to take some of the top scholars out of college that understands economics and let them set in the chairs and figure this out and get it back down to where we can get this budget done. the people we have up here now just don't get it or don't understand it. host: south carolina. mike, republican but caller: thank you, c-span, for doing this. i am sick and tired of what is going on in washington. you can't blame barack obama for what is happening. it is just he said, she said, blame for all of the things going on with all the earmarks and everything. when are they going to wake up? host: dallas, texas. a democrat. carolyn. caller: i would like to remind everyone what the late great senator edward dirksen said about earmarks and he said, well, 10 million here, 10 million there, pretty soon you are talking about some real money. only now we are talking about $10 billion. two days ago i was in favor of a compromi

former arkansas governor mike huckabee. he names -- he hosts "huckabee" named after huckabee. he knows legislation like i know registration. i have to inform the local police every time i move. and his heart is bleeding because no one is reading. good to see you, pinch. >> as per a whisper in my new york ear, right before the show, governor huckabee will be running for president in 20 12. the "new york times" wins again. >> i don't believe you. >> i just announced. it huer ray for pinch! huckabee running. >> you are trash. >> you are trash. i am the main stay of all things news. thanks again, gov. >> all right. >> scoop. >>> finally, our long national nightmare is over. scarlet johansson and ryan reynolds have split. good rid -- riddance. he was abs on a stick in my opinion. and a bill passed around thursday at midnight. the bill signed by president obama on friday gives a two-year extension to the tax cuts that would have expired in a few weeks. even for families earning more than $250,000 a year, something obama says he would never agree to. it also extends unemployment bene

. >> maghreb in arkansas but but my question is one of the more fascinating debate portions in which you allow several voices to talk but the question is whether or not clinton could be considered a supporter of the new deal or whether or not he was in fact, or the argument presented on both sides. i wonder to the scope that it if you felt personally and with a research to gathered do feel clinton upheld that or the way that? >> did he modernized new deal or liberalism says a it democratic leadership council is the it organization where he honed his centrist strategy. did he modernize the new deal and salvage you're effectively and it? that is a great question and one that is difficult to resolve part of the welfare question puts it into it puts a question on to display in 1994, he proposed and campaigned in 19925 he proposed in 19942 reform welfare containing $9 billion of additional spending for things like child care and job training. that was 1994 by then health care initiative had gone down in flames. and he had low political capital after congress took over they started to work

. >> the former arkansas governor mike huckabee waited on the wiki mess saying what ever government leaked it is guilty of treason and anything less than execution is too kind a penalty. and then he added bill shultz sucks. >> we go way back. >> no, no, no. if bradley manning is found to be guilty -- was he a private? >> corporal or private. he is not on the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. >> if he releases information that gets agents killed, u.s. operatives killed he is responsible for that. i think the biggest problem here is if you don't punish people to some degree, but if you don't punish people, then there is no harm in releasing these things. and every time we look across the board we see all of these cases, north korea, iran, they don't get punishment for their actions and they keep doing it. is treason a crime, yes or no? if it is, it needs to be punished and we are not punishing these people. we are laughing at them. if you don't punish cheaters, cheaters have a reward for cheating. >> that is so true. and that's true in life, anne, and that's true in life, anne, what do
