december 6th, 2011, president barack obama returned and standing on a platform somewhat more secure than a kitchen table explicitly embraced the underlying philosophy of t.r.'s new nationalism, why a democrat a party that occurs to the other roosevelt especially in hard times should have in this instance embraced the republican roosevelt will no doubt be explored today among many other issues in this discussion we're about to hear. and we have a terrific panel for that discussion. composed of prominent political analysts who know a great deal about both the progressive era as well as contemporary politics. i'll introduce my first co-moderator for the day, e.j. dionne, washington post columnist that will make introductory remarks and comment on the presentations after they've been made and we'll hear from a couple of university of virginia professors, and jim caesar, professor of politics at uva. next we'll hear from john halpin center fellow from the center of american progress and finally matt spaulding vice president for american studies at the heritage foundation. e.j.? >> first, it's great to see people here, happy holidays and to those that celebrate, m

s chloe. this potential announcement later on today by u.s. president barack obama would mean that it's one step before an official case is opened at the wto. it comes amidst renewed friction with about the renminbi, whether the chinese authorities are trying to slow its appreciation. the fact that the u.s. may be opening these negotiations doesn't come as too much of a surprise to many of the people i spoke to especially in an election year. it does come as a surprise if it is going to be joined by the european union and, of course, japan. just earlier on this week on monday we had the governor from the central bank of china, the pboc, come out and say that china is committed long term to being an investor in the european sovereign debt market and of course today we had japan come out and say it is going to buy up it to $10 billion worth of chinese government debt. this is by far the largest apartment of purchases into the sovereign market here in china by an advanced economy. and it would elevate the status of the renminbi at a time when it's seeking to internatio

s does that? >> mitt romney was for the individual mandate before he was against it, but barack obama was againstt before he was for it. the individual mandate is a complicated thing. now, romney's argument is fine in massachusetts on the state level. shouldn't be imposed in washington. that is a legitimate argument to make, but it's a difficult one to make, particularly since he's said other statements suggesting it should be a national, if not a federal, model. he's going to be talking about this regardless of what the supreme court does because the obama administration will not let him off the hook. and rick santorum is right, even though he doesn't say it particularly well most of the time, mitt romney is lessee kwipd -- equipped to run on the health care issue even though he's got a way to talk about it that is diffused in the nomination process. >> the trouble that rick santorum is in because of this, and santorum makes the point, he's the worst possible republican candidate to run against obamacare. thank you so much more, thank you chris. up next, what "madmen" might like if it were about

effective, including mitt romney for laying the groundwork as barack obama and even hillary clinton was four years ago. the final thing i will say s. these candidates in the race now, they create kind of factions within the party. you don't find romney supporters really enthusiastic about rick santorum. in some cases you don't find romney supporters enthusiastic about mitt romney. that's a separate story. in the case of barack obama and hillary clinton although their were different, and the passions were strong, once barack obama became the nominee, people got on board with that and the party was united to win the white house. i don't see that dynamic yet in the republican race. that could change. but for the most part the bitterness that exists between the candidates extends to a lot of their supporters and leaves them potentially in a much less strong position than barack obama was when he emerged from that battle. >> you write "the perception that she'd behaved badly had taken hold in the immediate -- media and threatened to eclipse everything she'd accomplished." >> as we gather today, this historic, magnificent building, the

s case untilon thi the summer. >> thank you. to the 2012 campaign were in the battle is brewing. santorum said romney was "the worst republican in the country to put up against barack obama. ." he also said romney was uniquely gopualified to be the candidates. become anas unhinged."and the president is insole south a summit. and encourage south courage. future provocations of the content. is warning that if he rocket if it goes into their territory. they have moved eight rocket to pad and plans to test fire. people are waiting for pope .een dipped to our right this the day after hundreds of n their basket central mexico. the pope will hold to outdoor as raÚl castro. he visited cuba back in 1998. >> dick cheney is recovering at hospital after undergoing a heart transplant. he has had five heart attacks. on the cardiac transplant than 40 months. he says although they do not know the identity of the donor, will be forever grateful for this kit. >> maryland state police are investigating whether one of their tubers assaulted a waitress. happened tuesday night. waitress said she filed an assault charge. the incident began when he became upset that his chicken tenders were und

s republicans. >> there was a time when four years ago, susan, the feeling was that a tough race really helped barack obama because it kind of battle hardened him. will things change for mitt romney if he's the nominee? will the numbers turn around? >> he's taken some damage here. there's one normminee who was i worse shape at this point and that was bill clinton in 1992. so it is possible for a candidate to repair the damage that's been done. and the one way in which this nbc poll is good for romney is it's frightening for republicans to look at what they thought was a winnable race for the white house in november look increasingly distant. it looks harder than they thought it was going to be. it's likely to accelerate this process of coalescing behind romney. >> there's a lot of good news for the president. 50% now approve of the job he's doing. he beats romney by six points. this is how the pollster peter heart put it. "president obama is probably in the best political shape he's been in his since initial year of president." is he right? >> i think he is right. the president is further ahead. he's more

. >> i'm glad you brought up the myth that so many people think that barack obama came to office and shoved this down g.m.'s throat. it had been in development for at least two years as you detailed and you also talk about how much energy we could actually save by using the volt. we've got a big graphic over here that people can see. as you can see, if there were 30 million volts on the road over 10 years, you'd save 694 million barrels of oil each year, 103% of oil imported from the mideast or opec. so we certainly would be more independent than we currently are from hugo chavez. you say this is a national security issue. don't you? >> absolutely. again, as i said, we're propping up the world oil price. we need a lot more production. what we should do, we can get gasoline down to $2.50 a barrel. that continues two things. a lot more oil production. one of the things is that the obama administration has had an anti-american fossil fuel agenda and that's tainted the volt but we need to reduce the demand for gasoline. and again, the way to do that is have a lot more chevy volts out there and the volt is a ter
