you're on me a lot that i worked for bill clinton and it's not the most popular thing i've ever done. but bill clinton's solution to the economic crisis was to balance the budget and eliminate the deficit because he knew the crucial thing was not government spending, but interest rates. and he knew the key thing was to bring them down. obama has doubled them since he took office. and the only reason they're not up anymore is that the fed keeps printing money fueling inflation ahead. sean: i guess the question that we've got to ask ourselves with all of this spending and as reckless as it is unemployment tops 10% in 15 states, home foreclosures now set a new record. they promised us unemployment if we passed the stimulus wouldn't go above 8%. it's a disaster for state revenues on top of federal revenues going down. there's a question here. if now that his poll numbers are coming down, has that been the reason for the big push for health care, to get it out of the way because there's no chance later? >> yeah. i wrote a book that i think he read. this first chapter was called "the new pr

this was not the way bill clinton handled a recession. bill clinton eliminated the deficit. barack obama has quadrupled that. build plants and cut mortgage interest rates by three or four points. obama is letting them go up. bill clinton eliminate the deficit by cutting the capital gains tax from 28% to 20 and i'm not crazy. you cut that capital gains, more people sell, more people buy, they are more transactions in the produce more revenue in permitted us to eliminate the budget deficit. i remember sitting there with him with a yellow pad in the oval office and the literally wrote the budget from memory. this guy did not need anything. he knew every one of the lines in the budget and he voted budget. those of quds ended up being completely meaningless. the only cut that mattered was the capital gains tax. obama's doing the opposite. ezo increasing the deficit that when you go to borrow money for their refinancing of your home, the feds are elbowing a lot of the way for codel the federal reserve board knows that if they let interest rates go as high as they could go with thi

and bill clinton? your part of the newt gingrich class of 1994 and part of the impeachment process with clinton but looking back 10 years later did the republicans go too far? today we smirch themselves of all? >> guest: i am reminded of jesus christ superstar. mary matalin sings i don't know how to love him i still can i get my arms and around bill clinton but i do know i was driven to run by a anger, rage at bill clinton. i thought bill clinton represented everything that was wrong with america. i love with him i had no use for hillary clinton. it was visceral and i think it goes back to being a kid raised in the atlanta suburbs looking at the 60 radicals and looking from my parents side. 10 years later i read about this and i am embarrassed of some of the things i said about bill clinton that my goal at 46 as opposed 231 started to campaign to understand that everybody has something to bring to the table and to understand that while we could not stand bill clinton and he could not stand as we hated t

now, i thank you for not going winless that i worked for bill clinton, they said i work for bill clinton. at to tell you, this was not the way bill clinton handled a recession. bill clinton and eliminated the deficit, barack obama has quadrupled it. bill clinton cut mortgage interest rates by three or four points, obama is letting them go up. bill clinton eliminated the deficit by cutting the capital gains tax from 20% to 20 and i'm not crazy, you cut the capital gains and more people sell and buy. there is no more transaction and produces more revenue have permitted us to eliminate the budget deficit. i remember sitting with him with a yellow pad in the oval office and he literally wrote the budget from memory, this guy didn't need anything. he knew everyone of of 2000 mines and the federal budget and he wrote a budget. those cuts ended up being completely meaningless. the only cut that mattered was the capital gains tax cut because that generated revenues that eliminated the deficit, but obama is doing the opposite. so increasing the deficit that when you go to borrow money for your re

i thought bill clinton represented everything that was wrong with america. i had no use for hillary clinton. just -- >> host: was this is oral? >> guest: it was and i think it goes back to being a kid raised in the atlanta suburbs looking at the 60's radicals and looking at the world from my parents' side. of course ten years later i read about this in the book. i'm embarrassed by some of the things i said about bill clinton. and i think where it got in there at 46 now as opposed to being 30, at 29 when i started campaigning, to understand everybody had something to bring to the table, and understanding also that while we couldn't stand bill clinton and he couldn't stand us any more, he hit us as much as we hated him, he thought those john right-wingers are from another planet trying to undo all the great things we achieve in the 1960's and beyond. we now look at each other and i really do, i like hillary clinton so much because we've taken this dark and she, too isn't the same hillary clinton that came to washington in 1993. we understand that the beating ea

bill clinton. you were part of newt gingrich's class of 1994. you are part of the impeachment process with clinton. looking back ten years later did the republicans go too far? did the republicans beeshire. themselves at all? >> guest: i'm reminded of jesus christ superstar. saying, i don't know how to love him. i still can't get my armed around bill clinton. i do know this. that i was driven to run by anger, rage, at bill clinton. i thought bill clinton represented everything that was wrong with america. i loathed im. i had no use for hillary clinton. just -- and, yet i think it goes back to being a kid raised in the atlanta suburbs, looking at the '60s radicals and the world from my parents' side. of course, ten years later, i'm embarrassed by some of the things i said about bill clinton but that my goal and i think where i have got then at 46 now as opposed to being 30. 29 when i started campaigning -- understand that everybody has something to bring to the table. and understanding, too that while we couldn't stand bill clinton, and he couldn'

president george herbert walker bush to serve in the federal judiciary and then promoted by president bill clinton a rare occurrence of that someone receives a bipartisan support for their judicial service which she had. and each time as those facts are recounted i watched her mother nodding. recalling what her daughter had achieved. what a great story is for america. when a great star is that president obama would give us a chance to consider judge sotomayor to serve as the first hispanic woman on that u.s. supreme court. for many who opposed judge sotomayor her life and achievements of her judicial record are just not good enough. after poring over 3,000 court decisions and hundreds of for speeches judge sotomayor's critics focused their opposition primarily not exclusively but primarily on one case, the ricci case, and on one senses from one speech.

attempt at health care reform. >> well, there were two big mission takes that bill clinton and hillarylinton who was running that made in 1994. first, they just dropped this big bill on the desk of congress and said pass it. congress went, wait a minute. it's our job to make laws. don't tell us what to do. so the obama folks have gone for a much more cooperative way of proceeding. they brought in the interest groups, gotten more what they call buy-in from the organizations like the american medical association, which is for legislation. everybody know has to say they're for it, even if they're scrambling over the details. >> just in what form, right. >> that's the first mistake. they tried to accept it as something, accept this or reject it. the second mistake is that clinton wouldn't compromise. actually bill clinton wanted to compromise, hillary did not in 1994. so they missed an opportunity to get through half a loaf or three-quarters of a loaf. actually barack obama said to me in february of last year that he was not going to be in that position that bill clinton was in where bill

bill clinton had a lot of details. he tried to sort of take his time, and barack obama's done the opposite. he's essentially outsourced it to congress. so he's lost control over his message. he's lost control over it and we have these committee chairmen who have been in congress or the senate for 30, 40 years and they're not so keen on this whipper snapper telling them what to do. so i think he's found himself in a deceptive position and i think that harry reid and nancy pelosi are calling the shots, not barack obama. >> karen? >> obviously i disagree with that. let's be clear. the president said from the beginning we need to pass health care reform by the end of this year, and i think if we fail to do that, frankly i think that the consequences will bair out in 2010 and it won't be just about the president. it will be about members of congress. this has been a problem for a long time. it's not like this just came up out of thin air. so i think the american people and the voters are going to hold members of congress ac

they mounted a huge lobbying effort against bill clinton's plan, hillary clinton's plan, but now they are on board. the problem is that they have got so many goodies or at least that they have promised that they will actually make more money because of this health care plan, but that means that efforts to contain the costs and reduce the costs of long-term universal health care may be compromised. >> there was that poll that we just talked about in terms of the public option in which 42% now believe that a public option would make things worse. only 33% say it would make things better. does that suggest irrespective of the effort to get the various groups on board and what damage that may cause that the white house, the democrats have a huge pr problem right now, if more people think that a public option will make things worse than better, then they're not making the sale. are they? >> david, there are two public relations problems. one is a public option. public option means an option. everybody can still keep their private insurance if they want but if for some reason the opponents,

bill clinton never walked off the job for a week and flew to argentina. he took his affairs to work for him -- took his affairs to work with them. mark sanford he took off and did not tell anyone where he is going. >> last week on this show you said we were watching a man go through a public nervous breakdown. >> it is a hard diagnosis to make. you do not need a license even though i still have one. i am not sure i agree with your comparison to clinton. i am not sure what kind of defense that he did it in the oval office. >> [unintelligible] >> mark sanford has a real problem and he ought to deal with it in private. i think he does not have more than a couple of weeks in office left. >> we are witnessing a meltdown. i would like him to come to washington and check in with a hospital that deals with problems like this because this man needs attention. >> he does seem to have a problem but i think this is his own business and he should do in private. i feel sorry for him because this weekend his vacation with his wife and sons and in lost in florida. -- and

>> bill clinton's fate it seems to me. because of bill clinton's experience, which they sometimes ascribe, this bhout white house, because of the fact it took so long to get to it. the white house, obama white house has been saying speed is essential and they're right, for the reason that emerson said that when skating on thin ice speed is safety. >> the streejs istrategic decision they made to go for everything is the right decision? >> but not with cap and trade and new energy supplies, country has a sense of overload. the president has 60 senators, he has a 70-vote majority in the house of representatives and he blames republicans. that's not the problem. his difficulties from the mayo clinic to the congressional budget office which just yesterday said of the president's latest proposal, a panel, magic silver bullet to constrain costs maybe save $2 billion over four years beginning in 2016 and that's a rounding error on the gm bailout. >> i think i should say something about the cbo thing which surprised a lot of people

they did this before under bill clinton. bill clinton wrote his own plan and it never got even to first base in congress. this is the furthest along that they had been in a national health-insurance system since truman proposed it. >> you both have a vote -- have observed the political scene for a while. is it possible that this will not come back in september after a month off? >> i really think that something will have to come back, at least in september. and my predicting that they will meet this goal of october 15? it is hard for me to say but i could not see them giving up on this. if they do have to put it off after the break. >> i think that medicare took back you go around to get it done. a democratic congress under a democratic president. it is possible that it could happen but obama has made deadline and put pressure on them throughout the campaign. he is his own most effective spokesperson. that congress has not done a good job in explaining this to people, that is why the ends at level is so high. it is a complic

bill clinton started that deregulation. and george bush went along with it whenever he got in there. seemed like the rest of the media forgot about that. and i do appreciate his comment on that to remind the people of the united states who actually started derg -- deregulation. i am not saying that bush made mistakes but bill clinton did. ncaa. host: thank you. greg from indiana. independent line. go ahead, sir. caller: i am an independent and i like to say i appreciate your views on the government. i have a question about those bond rating agencies. they racesed the most need than anyone on that whole process of $2 trillion going down the tubes. it seems to be there is going to be some suggestions made about that but there seems to be a seller-buyer relationship and what the rate is. without doing due diligence, geez. so is that too constrictive? are these, you know, guys that are slicker than mules and a barrel of hogs' head here? how do you write? how do you make a bonding agency tell the truth? and one more question. i

or vice versa, both for democratic president like bill clinton and ends up with newt gingrich. that's a policy concern. it particularly, these things are totally exogenous and random. it's a temptation for someone to try to affect massive regime change, if that person knows that by wiping out the president and vice president, policy could shift decisively from one clinical party to another, really undermine what the american people thought they were voting for when they voted for president. and that's not just a hypothetical. that's happened in american history. even sometimes with valid tickets between president and vice president, you can affect a certain kind of regime change if you shift presidential power from abraham lincoln to andrew johnson or from one branch as john wilkes booth did, or from one branch of the republican party, james garfield to a different branch, chester arthur. when garfield assassin proudly announces that he's attempting regime change as he is being tackled to the ground at union station. is said i am a stallworth and garfield will be a president. a

bill clinton was a known quantity. you liked him or did not like him before. sanford was only followed by people that followed politics closely. and the only way they know him is standing up in front of people saying this is truly a love story. and, you know, while his wife is sitting at home watching and his kids are sitting at home watching. i think this apology lies in the face of when people were most introduced to him. most people saw him as a guy standing out there and saying, but really, i found my soul mate. >> and jonathan, i will get along with you in a minute. we have a bunch of different folks here. there are lots of folks in the political theater or professional sports or media who have horrible embarrassing things, or huge betriayals breaking the law. what is the breach of trust and resurrecting yourself, like michael vick coming back to play baseball, would anybody touch him? is it a behavioral line? is it what my offense was or how i carry myself after the offense? >> are you talking about who gets rehabilitated? >> henry kissinger. despite --

sean: oh, there's bill clinton. all right. we're spending all this money. i said liberals don't mind paying taxes because they don't pay taxes, we've got more tax cheats in the obama administration, and similarly obama apparently according to the story is evoking his african-american cousin who can't get a job, quote, without a bribe. we've heard about the poverty that his half-brother lives in, we've heard about the aunt in boston. barack obama is a millionaire. why can't barack obama donate money to his own family? if they give me the address of his brother i offered before he got his book deal to give him money. why are liberals only generous with other people's money? >> that remains to be seen, and basically obama wears the suit of the riddler. he could have thrown his family a bone. he could have actually made something happen, gosh knows that he has created so many other positions for other people. i mean he could have made him a czar. >> from a communications standpoint, making it personal was a smart thing for him to do, but in holding these nation

the idea that bill clinton past his tax bill before august, ronald reagan passed his. at the end of this august, but every estimate, there will be 430,000 americans who have lost their insurance in that month, probably another 600,000 have lost their jobs, too. the sense of urgency will still be with us. but i don't think there's any question that the white house, administration, and supporters feel that time gives the opposition a chance this night. -- a chance to snipe. the president did not have a great week. the press conference took all the air out of the room. encyclopedic it does, too long, like this one. [laughter] no energy. >> i don't think it was as bad a week as a lot of people think. i think that winning the f-22 vote was significant. i think it is unfortunate that they could not get a bill done, at least out of the house and senate, by august. we might make some of the plant at the feet of the chairmen of the senate finance committee, as well as the president. but i think a president, when they come back, or even over the break, is going to have to knock

sean: oh, there's bill clinton. all right. we're spending all this money. i said liberals don't mind paying taxes because they don't pay taxes, we've got more tax cheats in the obama administration, and similarly obama apparently according to the story is evoking his african-american cousin who can't get a job, quote, without a bribe. we've heard about the poverty that his half-brother lives in, we've heard about the aunt in boston. barack obama is a millionaire. why can't barack obama donate money to his own family? if they give me the address of his brother i offered before he got his book deal to give him money. why are liberals only generous with other people's money? >> that remains to be seen, and basically obama wears the suit of the riddler. he could have thrown his family a bone. he could have actually made something happen, gosh knows that he has created so many other positions for other people. i mean he could have made him a czar. >> from a communications standpoint, making it personal was a smart thing for him to do, but in holding these nation

. >> the policy was created by bill clinton in 1993 as a way of letting gay men and women serve. the policy was created with 15,000 discharged for being gay. 287 after president obama took office. >> we're hearing for the first time the 911 call that brought professor gates face-to-face with james crowley. we have more, including an invitation for president obama for both men to visit the white house. >> james crowley returned to work monday morning after a tumultuous week in which he was indirectly criticized by the president for arresting dr. henry louis gates, jr., in his home. cambridge police made the 911 tapes from the suspected break- in on july 15 public, presumably to silence critics, including gates himself, who charge the professor was racially profile. >> are not sure if these were two individuals who lived there. >> you think they may have been breaking in. >> i have no idea. >> the caller does not mention the race of the individual. only when asked as she speculates one of the men in the house might be hispanic. >> i do not know if they live there, but i notice they

where he said that no one in the country would pay more taxes than they did in the 1990's under bill clinton. >> status quo for health care is not an option for the united states of america. it is threatening the financial strength of families and businesses and the government and is unsustainable. >> it is clear that the president is stepping up pressure. the question is will he find enough support, and of political will in his own party to pay the price? >> one more note on this story -- vice-president biden will also be talking health care today. health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius and aarp officials will join him in alexandria to talk about how health car reform and lower costs and cut waste and improve quality for older americans. the discussion begins at 1:30. >>> police have not yet released the name of the men was shot and killed by capitol police after taking off during a traffic stop. >> four five quick shots and was it. >> officers say they tried to pull over the 35-year-old man when he sped off. he drove the long way during -- down louisiana ave at and hit polic

thidea that bill clinton passedhis tax bill befe august ronald reagan passed his. at t end of this august, by everystimate, there wi be 433,000 americans who have lost their inrance in that month, anprobably another 0,000 americs who have lost their jobs, too. the sse of urgency will still be with us. but don't think there's any question th the whi use, the admistration, supporters feel that time gives the opposition a chance to snipe. the president d not he a great week. the press conference took all e air out of the room. encyclopedic answers, too lo, like this one -- [laughter] at no ener. >> i don't think itas as bad a week as alot of people think. i thi winning the f22 ve was signifant. i think it is unfortunate that they could not get a bill done, ateast out of theouse and the senate, by august. you might lay somof the blame at the feet of the chairman of the senate finance comttee as well as the esident. but tnk the president, when they come back, or en over the break, is going to have to knock so heads together so that come ptember, there is a bill. >>he pr

there is nothing special about bill clinton in that regard. bill clinton is dreams of this. in terms of i could really do this. okay. franklin roosevelt decides the way to get to the white house is to follow uncle ted's path. theodore roosevelt started out in new york legislature. that is what franklin is going to do. theodore then went to washington and became assistant secretary of the navy. that's what franklin roosevelt is going to do. theodore roosevelt came back to new york and was elected governor of new york. that's what franklin roosevelt is going to do. theodore roosevelt had six children. that's what franklin roosevelt is going to do. that is what he informed eleanor. [laughter] okay, now, oh i'm lecturing again i don't want to give away the whole story. i do have to tell you this really gets at crux of the personal story here because they do have six children. eleanor, you theodore, franklin didn't do it by himself obviously. they have six children but, going to ask you something. there is one aspect of this is kind of, it struck me as string. strange. i want to

. >> rose: more like bill clinton and hillary clinton than others? >> yeah, i think so. i mean, she's a smart, engaged woman who has strong views, as i understand it. so that will be part of the peeling, you know? trying to find out as much about that as possible. >> rose: two other institutions. number one, the congress. are you the least bit interested in the congress? >> yes, sure, i think the congress is.... >> rose: you've written about the supreme court, you've written about the presidency, you've written about the military, you've written about the c.i.a. >> and in all of those books and stories, congress plays a role. and sometimes it's a big role, sometimes it's a role more on the sideline. but it's quite evident that the presidency now has concentration of power, given all of the problems and wars and the financial... ongoing financial difficulties and economic difficulty and that that's where the action is. but, you know, congress can do all kinds of things. i think that they are a player in this, but if you want to describe the era, just like i made an attemp

bill. and in trying to separate themselves from clinton, they cut out the floor from the entire caucus. this time obama has the opportunity for something different, but, again, he has to hold them for some very difficult votes. >> and one of the ways he's trying to hold them is to put pressure on them. this is an example of the new media use by the white house. the president in a conference call with liberal bloggers, let's listen to what he had to say to them last night. >> i also think it's important just to keep the pressure on members of congress, because what happens is there is a -- there is a default position of inertia here in washington, and pushing against that, making sure that people feel that the desperation that ordinary families are feeling all across the country every day, when they're worrying about whether they can pay their premiums or not or how to deal with a loss of insurance when they lose their job, people have to feel that. and you guys can help deliver that than just about everybody. >> i mean, that tells you everything you need to know about where his focus is

back in 1993, bill clinton's party had a 57-seat majority in the u.s. senate.ors vote with president obama's party. that's a more powerful filibuster proof majority. mr. obama has a much stronger hand politically as well. so in other words, lots can still happen. let's go to jack cafferty right now. he's got "the cafferty file." jack? >> but he's also getting some resistance to this from within his own party. there are conservative democrats who don't like very much about this health care idea at all. >> a lot of them are up for re-election next year. >> that's exactly right. so suddenly this big majority isn't quite as powerful as you might think at first glance. anyway, the war in afghanistan could soon become another huge test for this young obama administration. we have been showing you the taliban video of this young idaho soldier who has been captured there. in it, bowe bergdahl is prompted by the slime, his captors, to beg for the withdrawal of u.s. troops, saying the u.s. is wasting time and lives there. this 23-year-old soldier from idaho says he misse
