this opened the door for bill clinton. i remind people how rapidly the landscape can change. >> one aspect that has unfolded, perhaps not the way that he wanted, is the level of conflict. he was introduced in 2004, in a speech that would transcend the boundaries of the color red and the color blue, and racial boundaries. the health-care bill this weekend, one republican was voting for this, and no house republicans voted for this. the latest average in the gallup poll has a 68-point gap between his approval among democrats and republicans. this is a very polarized debate in washington. why is this not changing more? is this obama, or the republicans? is this the forces that are bigger than both of them. you are someone who has worked on both sides of this. why has the chasm not narrowed more than has? >> this is an extension of what happened earlier. there are so many mechanisms in place right now, redistricting and cable television. everything is driving the political debate to the extreme. and there is no reward for bein

after that retreat, he filed his petition to impeach bill clinton.attacked for going to this boondoggle in desperate. some bipartisanship is not in my blood. [laughter] but on the question of whether the elevator is going up or down, if you look at bill clinton, the elevator went up and down many times. it was a roller-coaster. i think that is a more like metaphor. president obama has not had the kinds of swings in approval or personal favorability bill clinton did, but the comparable thing for us was passing the economic plan. our approval is going down in the process. when he passed the budget, which is a tax increase in deficit reduction, his approval went up significantly and was sustained over many months. he proceeded then to launch a number of initiatives, but then trigger gate, -- troopergate, all the positives and negatives are true. the intensity -- i'm not even sure 2010 is the right point in which we will see this play out. if you can have a 1982 election in which democrats made gains, when the story played out, it was 1984 when there was

central role in two of the most important event of the past decade -- the impeachment of president bill clinton and the election of president george w. bush. my book explains why bill was more than a figure head when he presided at the clinton trial. without a doubt, he was better prepared and more knowledgeable about impeachment than any other single person who participated in those proceedings. and much of my impeachment chapter contains new information which the mainstream media, for whatever reason, did not cover in 1999. i also disclosed previously unknown but not confidential facts about bill rehnquist and the presidential election of 2000. on the monday evening before election, he sent me a fax with his take on the election. he said he and i and my wife bet on every election, primary or otherwise, local or otherwise, and we always bet by fax. on the afternoon -- monday afternoon, we exchanged faxes through his secretary. and the official betting parlor for the obermeyer and the rehnquist was the chief justice of the united states. and it was -- that was it. on the afternoon before the el

it became a felony when bill clinton was president. and so the current administration said were going to get immunity to all of these people. what we're going to do is consider the possibility of considering the possibility of prosecuting some low ranking bad apples who strayed from the illegal policy in the secret memos. it is a very dangerous idea because that means a president, any future president can tell a lawyer, write me a secret memo that says this crime is legal and it is now legal. if you can think of any power that doesn't give a president, you are smarter than i am. it looks like apple in power and we know what that does. we have the power of war. president bush did not have wars declared that he had vague authorizations that he did not comply with the terms that he submitted like to congress, and the authorizations lost all relevant over a period of years to the ongoing wars, and we have mercenaries fighting our wars out of congressional oversight, out of the rule of law. and we now have more troops in the field than we e

bill clinton often commented favorably of sarah palin, who understood early on that a lot of people, not everyone, but a lot of americans look at her and say that she reminds me of me. she talks like i do. she has the same values that i do, i kind of like that. host: written in "the post" over the weekend, "is the book tour an opening chapter to provide a subtext to political plans"? "in addition to her book, the tour follows various smaller states and cities, a subtext for a bigger discussion of the political future she could have or more importantly, want to have. is she a political personality? or is there something that could be called palinism"? guest: [laughter] there are definitely palinistas, palin critics, but we are not at palinism yet. it is a great question, will she be able to cultivate this grass roots effort into something bigger? i think that she adopted a free market populism, running against washington, running against the elite trying to run the economy, trying to design america according to their own theories about how society should work, i think that could get s

. >>> former president bill clinton will try to get senate democrats to support health care reform. two democratic sources say that he'll meet with senators during their weekly caucus tomorrow. democratic leaders have said if democrats fail on health care they'll pay for it on election day. that happened when clinton failed in 1994, and republicans took congress. >>> you may have growing doubts about the government's ability to ward off an h1n1 epidemic. that's according to a new survey that's out this morning. the poll finds since august 8% more americans have lost confidence that h1n1 prevention will happen. but 53% are actually hopeful the government and private companies can produce enough of the vaccine. come here and look at this tape, would you? a woman fell on the train tracks moments before the train arrives. here's the video. it happened friday in boston. she lost her balance putting out a cigarette and fell. transit police say she was intoxicated. people were frantically waving at the oncoming train and the driver was able to stop it just in time. so the woman's okay. but

politicking that you just can't teach someone, she is a natural for that in the same way that bill clinton was. >> and why she's so much wanted to come back and talk to the press. she wanted to come back and talk to us, but the mccain senior advisers did not want that. >> you right in the book. there is that question. you get the sense that her level of curiosity. >> sure. you know, i think first of all you are referring to a book that steve schmidt gave. we can say for sure whether she did or didn't read it. most people on the planting she was reading it. >> and were concerned. >> yeah. >> they were also concerned that she was spending her downtime on the plane watching a negative press coverage. she was obsessing over that stuff. it really wasn't healthy forever. people told us after words. it is almost like she felt the need to convince everyone that she was right and could not understand why they did not see that. back to your question about intellectual curiosity. you know, one thing that we notice when we visited her parents, their both educators. they both are world travelers. >> ev

when bill clinton and hillary clinton set up task force. i forget the exact details. i predicted something like 27 specific details of what would come out. i got 100% wrong, every single issue wrong. and i learned a lot from that. that's wafers are to introduce random shocks because at least in my model went wrong was that the model indicated that the then chairman of the house ways committee with the key person, the tipping point person who could put together the right compromise to get through. and he was indicted on a think 17 felony counts and his focus on health care which is zero. of coarse humor to present. more recently, i did a book with some colleagues in 1996 called red flag over hong kong which was about the transfer of hong kong to china. and i had a lot of predictions, most of which are right, but one of the predictions, which was wrong, if you're running a hedge fund would've cost you a lot of money. it was that china by, i think it was 2000, would decouple the hong kong dollar, would be paid a hong kong dollar from the u.s. dollar. and they came very c

bill clinton had a much bigger party, 700 folks there.his white house talked about wanting to have a bigger event, so that's why they held it outside. some people kind of look and say it's a tent. it looks more like a pavilion and of course they decorate this with a floor and lots of floral arrangements all around so you're not really thinking you're in a tent when you're there. you're kind of distracted by that from all the decorations. >> larry: sally what will this do for naeem khan's career as a designer? >> well, as i said, i'd like to have one of those dresses myself and i can't imagine any woman looking at that dress saying, how do i get hold of him? i think it's going to really put him on the map. he's already a well-known designer anyway, but i think that from now on he'd better hire a lot more people to work for him because he's going to be inundated with orders. but i think one of the interesting things about this dinner, larry, was the number of staff, white house staff on the guest list. the guest list was interesting. i've n

not bill clinton not harry truman not john off kennedy. if we go back further on fdr, lbj, carter, and obama have received the 50% mark. i think the real majority that unyoung, unpoor, unblack it works well for the republican party. it worked well because democrats succeeded. think about for a moment. the new deal was geared towards a nation that was one third joe clark, ill housed, ill marist as roosevelt told us in 1937. in short, there was work to do and that work was successful. so that by 1980, we had a relatively prosperous middle-class suburban country that wasn't worried about what government ought to be doing for them, but saw themselves as the proprietors of government that taxed too much, spent too much, put on the green eye shades of government. and of course ronald reagan is such a good example of that journey, if you will, from new deal democrats as he was to expounding a reagan revolution. well, the real majority is over. it's over. three big revolutions are happening in the united states today. first, we've got a new demogr
