it's not even about race it's about making barack obama seem like the other. it's about kenya and indonesia and it's about harvard and it's about the faculty lounge. chris: in the last campaign, barack obama saw race behind the way that republicans were handling the change he embodied. >> what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me. oh, he's not patriotic enough. he's got a funny name. he doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills, you know. chris: for his part, john mccain made it a policy to discourage plays on obama's race. will that be true this time? this month, rick perry said this. >> one of the powerful reasons i'm running for the presidency of the united states is to make sure that every young man and woman who puts on the uniform of this country respects highly the president of the united states. chris: whether it's rick perry or someone else, will the general republican candidate talk that way? we asked 12 of our group. eight say it won't be used, four say yes will. john, you say it will, helene you say it won't. h

most people still blame george bush for the economy, not barack obama. number two, rick perry hasn't answered questions nationally and is going to try to run away from the national press corps, i don't know if he can do it. there are questions about his record people haven't explored. some people, especially the bush people, think that rick perry is shallow. they say he's only in for the sound bites. you know, when proponents of george bush -- chris: when supporters of george w. bush accuse perry of being shallow, we've hit the mother load. >> i think democrats and the cast of "saturday night live" want to see perry as the nominee. chris: and a lot of focus on that guy. six months from now, david you pick this up here, who is going to be the hot hand in the republican fight? who will be the big name out of iowa? >> the big noise officially will be rick perry and the country will learn about him, look at his personality and his leadership skills and then we'll see. that's the great thing about a campaign, people look strong at the outset, sometimes have t

the policies of barack obama, not before him, on barack obama's policies he put on a trajectory to puts in a debt bigger than every president before him combined. >> yes. the trouble is the president in before him doubled the national debt, never put out a single spending bill in eight years. isn't that a problem for your record? >> listen, the president's going to be judged on his record. >> okay. >> and his record right now is a catastrophe in regard to this. we have a president whistling past the graveyard and he's on martha's vineyard. >> you have scored all of your points and made them. let me ask you a question. >> i'm not trying to score points. >> you have scored them and got them on the record now. let me ask you a serious question. what's the difference now between the republican party and the tea party? >> well, i think there's -- obviously we're an organized, structured party, and the tea party is not. it's a group of people who are conservative, independent. people who are disengaged, but now engaged. i will say this. it's important to note. >> what's the difference in phi

and now to have years later it doesn't matter barack obama but not enforcing the law by not following the constitution it's going to blow up anyway well apparently a.i.g. is planning to file similar lawsuits against goldman sachs j.p. morgan and deutsche bank and of course after that will come the rating agencies because j.p. morgan goldman sachs and deutsche bank were selling products that were aaa rated by s. and p. but with all these things falling apart everybody losing their aaa america falling apart into a pocket of fraud and nothingness i want. bring up one final headline to think of another option another reality that we could be facing today what if barack obama had been a leader the bull case for gold gold is rising because the world's monetary system is being debased and there's no sign of stopping well. what if barack obama instead of engaging in this elaborate stupid awful theater with john boehner what if he had just come out and said you know what forget all these negotiations we're just going to go back to a gold standard and we're going to value it at twenty five thou

that's exactly what's going to happen anyway and barack obama if he were a as you put say if he were a real leader and had the go home and ace of was a richard nixon which i can't believe i'm saying that after having been dragged through watergate as a kid and be and been humiliated foot compared to barack obama richard milhous nixon looks like a genius statesman compared to this no spine and leader list none nobody bagga nothing a bag of worms and that's a genius idea simply and it's going to happen anyway they have to bring back the gold standard you know that the smartest guy out there in the punditry universe jim records you know he points out that those who criticize this idea say there's not enough gold and you know he would point out and i would point out that there's something called the price discovery mechanism you know markets reflect supply and demand if you have six hundred trillion dollars worth of worthless to rivet of well you some of that's going to end up being repurposed as a gold standard at twenty twenty five thirty thousand dollars an ounce that's just the way m

these are policies under barack obama and when voters who want to like this president.l want to like this president. the problem is, he doesn't give them any reason to say he's doing a good job. and when they go to the polls in 2012, ultimately they're going to have to decide is this a guy that can get us out of the economic doldrums that we're in and the reality is, he can't. >> jamie: doug, you're a pollster and a democrat. with the percentage numbers that we're seeing of disapproval of the job the president is doing. would you classify them as dismal, disappointing, where do they go from here? >> somewhere between dismal and disappointing. and the bottom line is, the president doesn't have a strong enough record to run on, on his own, so he's got to blame the republicans, he's got to make the case that it isn't his falt and those polls that you were citing, people don't blame him. he's playing off those, and outline as he did in michigan his ideas for job creation, and hope that's enough for the 47, 48% approval to get him over the finish line with a victory. >> jami

bush que al presidente barack obama.presidente ha hecho. creo que lo que le ha faltado muchÍsimo a Él es este liderazgo. la gente no mira en Él a un lÍder. >> o sea, Él vino con muchÍsima, mucha... esperanza. y desafortunadamente, hemos visto que no ha cumplido las promesas. que la economÍa estÁ peor. que las cosas Ñve ha avanzado, han creado una situaciÓn de desesperanza. entonces, yo entiendo. es difÍcil. lo que Él estÁ enfrentando. no quiero decir que todo ha sido color de rosa, ni mucho menos. pero creo que le ha faltado. no tiene mucha credibilidad y al final del dÍa no lo ven como un gran lÍder. >> coincide con este punto de vista? estamos mejor que hace tres aÑos y efectivamente cree que al presidente barack obama le ha faltado liderazgo y que no ha cumplido con algunas promesas? >> la realidad es que recibiÓ una economÍa en desastre de george w. bush y ha tomado mucho tiempo en crecer la economÍa en general. y vemos quÉ difÍcil es. durante la depresiÓn de 1932, durÓ mÁs que ocho aÑos en revertir las cosas negativ

that's what barack obama talked about. that's what he did. and it was the strength of building a coalition of people. understanding and embracing the diversity of our country. and bringing everyone together under one flag. >> yeah. a lot of people, however, have said that barack obama has been willing to compromise too much, that he's gone the other way, that compromise turns into capitulation and that negotiation turns into surrender. what do you say about those people who task him with the unenviable responsibility of holding harder to his democratic principles and pushing those on the table with equal ferocity? >> i think he understands that the reality of leadership is -- and success is an embrace of compromise. and some might interpret compromise to be defeat. but what i think we all know, in any relationship, be it a personal or professional relationship, is the way it is a functional relationship is that usually each individual who is a part of it engages in compromise for the better and greater good. and this president appreciates tha

run on sentence about a laundry list of demands that never works well ok so they're demanding barack obama ordain a presidential commission so let's look at this next headline max obama goes all out for dirty banker deal new york attorney general eric schneiderman has been removed from his leadership role in negotiating a nationwide foreclosure settlement with the banks so all forty nine states attorney generals are on or in the pocket of obama there saying yes we'll sign on to this agreement whereby the banks collectively will pay twenty billion dollars to and that any foreclosure cases against them and it seems like what schneiderman is rejecting in terms of this deal is that he's against the fact that it will basically give them immunity from all other securitization lawsuits but makes me to witness the president of state's kowtow to a bunch of bankers on wall street like this i am personally embarrassed and ashamed that a barack obama. sell out his people and such a shameless matter it's it's beyond pathetic yet but again max i know you have a thing about the president but the populati

i voted for barack obama. there is noted that i get to where an independent does not come up and say i voted for barack obama in 2008, but i am voting for you this time because i want my life to work again. i want a job. my son was a job. he is in college. he wants a job. do you know how bad the unemployment situation is? president obama has not only failed us all, he has really failed african-american youth. right now, african-american youth unemployment is almost 40%. kids who want a job, kids who want to learn job skills -- 40% do not have a job. that is trouble. that is trouble because how did they move on to get the next better job? they need that beginning job. hispanic youth is not much better. it is over 32% of hispanic use out of work. he has failed hispanic youths. he has failed african-american youth. he has failed all americans when it comes to job creation -- all americans. that is what i want to do as president of the united states. my focus will be to turn the economy around. i get it. i underst

you need to be a little higher than barack obama has been these last few months, this last year or so if he'll win a second term. >> doesn't seem right to me. the gallup poll shows president obama beats a generic republican. back to what you said, ron a telling critique of the president now. i'm fond of him, i want him to success, but everybody sees they're transparent right now. too much talk, little action. too much academic behavior not enough good, old-fashioned democratic politics here. your dad, president reagan i used to say working on the opposition for tip o'neill, i always said every cab driver in washington, every cab driver, regular guy or woman knows where that guy stands. he wants to beat the communist, reduce the size of government by cutting taxes. they all got it. they didn't agree with it in a lot of cases but they got it. >> people come up to me now years later say, you know, i didn't agree with your father on much, but you know what? when he said something you knew he meant it. you knew where he stood. people don't vote for the most reasonable guy in the room. they

barack obama is missing in action.he should have the kind of leadership i had when i was governor of the state. >> next representative bachmann this is a question about that cigarette tax increase. you were in the minnesota state legislature, at the time. you said you opposed the tax. in the end, you voted for it. now you promise never to raise taxes. why would you compromise then, but not now? >> that's right. i was very vocal against that tax. and i fought against that tax. the problem is, when the deal was put together, governor pawlenty cut a deal with the special interest groups and he put in the same bill, a vote to increase the cigarette tax, as well as the vote that would take away protections from the unborn. i made a decision, i believe in the sanctity of human life. and i believe you can get money wrong, but you can't get life wrong. that's why i came down on that decision that i made. [ applause ] >> governor pawlenty, do you have a response? >> what is wrong in the answer is the answer. congresswoman bachm

let's listen to her. >> the all-important must-have for 2012 is this -- making barack obama a one-term president. >> howard fineman, what i'm hearing now in the aftermath of the debt fight is that president obama is somehow engaging in class warfare, divisive politics when from day one, from second one, the goal of the republican party of the right of corporate america, the tail party, the whole shebang has been eliminate this guy's presidency. it's been personal, it's been about him, and it's about hatred. >> well, i think that in a situation like that, people often think that, your political foes think that, but they didn't yoon to tail is out loud, we hate you, want to kill you politically. >> quite the way they did so brazenly as they did at the beginning. i was out there on the maul when the president was inaugurated. you thought that perhaps all of america was out there. there were 1.5 million people there, but it wasn't all of america. it was barack obama's america, and the people on the right, the conservatives, the corporate leaders for the most part decided from day one that

that sounds a lot more like barack obama if you ask me. >> she fought for less government spending. we got a lot more. she led the effort against obama care. we got obama care. she led the effort against t.a.r.p. she said she has a titanium spine. we're not worried about the spine, but her record of results. please stop, you're killing us. >> i was at the tip of the sphere fighting against the implementation of obama care. nancy pelosi, harry reid and barack obama ran congress, but i gave them a run for their money. i was effectively taking them on on nearly every argument they put forward. i fought. when others ran, i fought. >> joining us by phone from charleston, south carolina, where rick perry will make his announcement tomorrow at the red state convention is matt lewis t great senior contributor for the daily caller. you watched the debate give us your take. >> if you were mars and watching, you might actually think newt gingrich won. putting it in context, i think mitt romney wins by not losing. i think that tichl pawlenty is in trouble. i think he has to win the ames straw po

point of view would be who can beat barack obama because that is the most important accomplishment at the end of this. and so i scerely doubt that micheleback mann given her background and views will pass that test. >> rose: we continue this evening with gloria steinham, the subject of a new hbo documentary. >> to take a bird's eye view i would say if the abolitionists and suffragist movement took 100 years, a legal identity as human beings and citizens, that took 100 yrs. now we're striving for legal and social equality in the women's movement, the several right-- civil rights movement that is likely to take 100 years too. and we, i think are about a third of the way or a little more than a third of the way into it. >> rose: a program note jane fonda was scheduled for this evening. she will be seen next week. tonight politics in iowa and gloria steinham when we continue funding for charlie rose was provided by the following funding for charlie rose was provided by the following: we can all root for. hero who beats the odds and comes out on top. but this isn't just a hollywood storyli

barack obama, 39%. steve jobs, 19%. dominique strauss-khan still in the news, 15%.nd rick perry, right there with 14%. >> where is beyonce? >> where is beyonce? and so -- and where's mitt romney? so, is this something at this stage of the campaign where you're saying rick perry is sucking all the oxygen? is that good or bad? >> the worst thing mitt romney can do is showing weakness by flailing around and changing what he's doing. he's showing nice subtle differences and planned for the debates. so far be the jobs maker. david is exactly right. be the jobs maker and explain to him that the people got us into this mess can't get us out. >> it shouldn't bother romney? >> he's raising a lot of money and rick perry will have to do it all over again in an environment where campaign contributions are restricted unlike texas. >> and it's a long haul. the thing won't be decided in the next couple of months. >> you bet. you'll be with us. >> i will be with you. >> and you'll be with us for the next block, so stay with us. because while mitt romney and rick perry have been goi

barack obama 2008. this means republicans have roughly 16 months to make inroads into this generation before we lose them for the rest of their lives. this is troubling to me. not just because i am a republican but i believe the ideas of the conservative movement and the party have offered better solutions to the issues that are most important and that affected them most directly. the title of my book "american individualism" is a reference to my great grandfather herbert hoover and the guiding principle he said fourth almost 90 years ago that i believe captures the spirit of the millennial generation in surprising ways but i will go into this by one to tell you a little bit about my background besides the headliner biography of the great granddaughter of herbert hoover. i have always been a proud republican because of that and also had my own journey. since the beginning i was a student of herbert hoover life come a legacy and also of american conservative movement. i never knew my great-grandfather. h

but unfortunately, barack obama has absolutely no clue.ike a manure spreader in a wind storm. [applause] about four years ago, barack obama came through iowa. he convinced the democrats of this great stite catapult him towards white house. and they did. but today's the day that republicans in iowa, independence in -- independents in iowa and conservatives all across this country send the message that barack obama's got to go. [applause] >> he's been talking a lot about the full faith and credit of america's death death. barack obama should put his full faith and credit in the american people. [applause] >> now the way forward may not be the easy way, but it's not complex. as we look over the history of this great nation, we know what works. we can see the lessons of america's greatness and bring them forward to the challenges of our time. and here they are. let's be a nation that puts its trust in god first and foremost. [applause] number two, we know, this don't we? we can't spend more than we take in. [applause] and we also know as we wa

she is asking for permission from people at this town hall to confront barack obama and why didn't barackto the black community on this tour of his and ask him what is going on here? >> well, i absolutely agree with representative waters. but the unemployment rate in the black community is unconscionable. i heard newt gingrich agree with her as well. i have to say it is a bit of a hot mess when a member of congress is saying they need permission from their constituents to hold the white house accountable. i remember back in the inauguration when president obama inspired me the most is when he gave a speech to all of his base communities. he said you have to hold me accountable. i have a problem with waters' statement there and some of the things we've heard from al sharpton, as far as we can't criticize the president. the reality is, from day one the president has been making sure he is doing everything he can to increase jobs for all americans. he knows he's not going to be happy until we see these numbers going down. it is 16% isn't good. the fact that it decreased in the last month is
