whether it's obama or george bush.rong is wrong. >> you know, look, colonel west, i -- we've actually covered on this program, colonel west, the treatment of black conservativ conservatives, you're right about the ad that you and i spoke out about it at the time, a few others of us did, but i wonder in this case, if we're talking about a stupid clown and a mask that people are making fun of, we've done this with every president as i've just shown here. do you see any racial connotation here? >> like i said, i don't agree with the statement the announcer made about let's run president obama over with the bull. this is something that's been done with all presidents. we know that h.w. bush, there was a clown of him in the missouri fair. there have been masks of president obama in shows like trueblood. let's start talking about some of the real issues, some of the things we see with obama care. and, of course, the most important thing i see in the black community, is the lack of good quality education, we should have schoo

the caseload is a lot higher than it was during the bush era. they required nude judges when it was a republican president. now it is a much higher caseload but with a democratic president we do not need it. they went through easily. this is an extra ordinary important courts. a lot of the things that go through the administrators go there. they do more to thwart the will of the president or congress. that affect cases us on drug safety and health care go to the dc circuit. it is not balanced now. they are trying keep it in balance. >> do think there should be on the table or off the table? it'll come back if it is filibuster. it is one thing if you are not qualified. these people are extraordinarily well-qualified. do you think the justice department may have caused problems for the legislative sectionby pursuing three done in texas? >> i do not think they have. two texas made changes hours after the supreme court came down, the state was not acting like they are open to any negotiations. i am hoping we can go back and have a new voting rights

head. >> now, watch bush's athletic instincts here.nybody else would have gotten hit by that shoe. look at that. that is quick. he also had a pretty good line after it. >> it doesn't bother me. and if you want the facts, it's a size 10 shoe that he threw. >> now, that's showing some true wit in response to a ridiculous event. he rose to the occasion on this one and dodged the shoe. >> it's very important, i think, to be quick-witted in politics. it's very important, first of all, to know what it is you want to say and to be saying it with some passion and some sincerity and then some wit gets back at you. you want to go splotch. you want to score another point. >> president bush manages to shrug it off and even makes light of the situation, but this is far from a joke in many people's minds. >> it's easy to make that sound comic, but it was a very serious thing about the way the iraqis see the british and american incursion on what they saw as an army occupation. >> the chap was then hauled off. you can clearly hear him yelling as he w

. >> during the bush administration these efforts could have been dispersed and put elsewhere.mphasized is the phrase that we heard a few times. the bush administration it is widely and acknowledged stressed that some of the science in thee years, a lot of science was not funded. 2009, the then new cia director and defense secretary, leon panetta, opened the center to specifically focus on a links between climate change and national security. >> our story found that the center is catching up on efforts that were put behind during the bush years. >> although much of the work is classified, the center is helping to fill in gaps and provide the intel that the policymakers can act on. >> they are wondering -- ok, we have these global forecasts for how climate change will affect the world, even regional forecasts, but what does that mean for nigeria? egypt? what will it mean for water supplies along the nile? water flow between pakistan and afghanistan? pakistan and india? are linkingnalysts regional climate projections with political demographic information. through the national ac

surveillance program more than you would bush or cheney why would bush and cheney designed it first of all. second of all because. they led us into a war that we never needed to be in and up ended american foreign policy probably the largest foreign policy blunder in the history united states in terms of what we're paying the price we're paying for this is we've now elevated iran to the most powerful country in the mideast middle east it was a terrible mistake it was just a gross blunder and so you know to get to trust the people who got us into this to get us out of it is probably not a good idea but if the laws being broken doesn't matter who is at the helm of it and if the laws being broken by the government you know it's not clear to me the government's breaking the law that's the problem is the law itself which was passed under bush and cheney pfizer that pfizer core doesn't work one side is presented it's like it functions more like a grand jury than a dozen court that's wrong it shouldn't be that way the need to be checks and balances on the pfizer court there needs to be the op

bush years that went the other way.said, we're going to cut all kinds of taxes and it's going to unleash lots of economic growth. the opposite happened. not only did it not unleash economic improgrowth, it was a decade, but of course the deficit became a big problem again. i don't think it's fair to say there are a lot of moving parts. there's always a lot of moving parts. i think the policy lesson just hasn't been learned. >> and we were given a surplus. >> tax revenue in the bush years did go up but spending went up more. that was the big problem. in the clinton years spending as a percentage of the economy actually shrunk because -- >> you're introducing -- i agree with you -- relevant moving point. the argument here is if you implement a tax increase in terms of bill clinton or a tax cut in terms of george bush can you go to a place where this has tremendously horrible or tremendously wonderful effects. the clinton years -- >> overall the empirical evidence is overwhelming that increased taxes lead to lower economic
