but president bush is growing impatient.t tells him that if he is going to war, he's got to do it before the blistering desert summer. >> we were moving alone the path of getting a good inspection going, that would probably come to fruition, one way or the other. but once you start military forces flowing to the extent that we did for iraq, it's hard to pull them back. >> as the inevitable moves closer, president bush reargues the case. and ups the ante with 16 infamous words in the state of the union address. >> the british government has learned that saddam hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from africa. >> that would be yellowcake. again. but by referring to a six-month-old british white paper, the president does an end run around a claim discredited by his own intelligence service. >> it wasn't a matter of lying about this or lying about that, but rather, through the artistry of speech writers, and case presenters, conveying an impression to the american people that certain things were true. >> it'

or with george bush it was what do you think roman what do you think local dick and then it goes back and forth because i think i'll go with uncle dick you know and barack obama's not like that he he he soaks things in but he wants to be the one to noodle things over and that's something he's had since childhood some of these have to do because mother who was a scientist instilled that in him so he's there he is now out in the public eye trying to make these points but the old barack is out there wanting to be eloquent but the you have the new barack the almost tainted brock by just being president can age you and all the things that he's had to deal with he's now basically created the sphere around him that contains the old barack but people just can't get through it is it because there's so much mistrust because of so much flip flopping that he's done from two thousand and eight and he would tell you if he was interpersonally rather than in a group that i had to do this because of this this this and this and you might not along interpersonally if you just sit in his living room but

or bush because i think people like karl rove told him that that would so and ironically it does even in this digital age we're going to talk about pulses of content even if it's dumb if it's simple people can buy into it you know when you look at the comments section on you tube it's probably more interesting than the comp you know the actual content you know he understood that sort of karl rove so that a lot of people say it at fox news who still could use that model barack obama never really mastered that and never understood that and and quite interesting glee still doesn't understand that because you do have that old you know my mother the scientist in call kidding me with this kind of almost techno ocracy and dealing with the minute and you know that's how he he he he basically communicates how dangerous is it though about a minute left but to trust politicians based on literally nothing at all other than their speech i mean no actions that have been so detrimental to this country was a way to talk well. clearly he can't do that i mean you know the history is rife you know from

yes you can get fooled again set in two thousand and eight we were at the height of anti bush sentiment an eloquent young statesman and constitutional lawyer swept america off its feet its name is brock obama and his deliberate diction and extensive vocabulary won the hearts and minds of people desperate for change so far obama is not only continued some of the worst policies of the bush administration but in many cases has exacerbated them so what is it about obama that a licit so much trust from the american people really just by the way he speaks to me now to discuss is chris chambers perfect communication professor at georgetown university thank you so much for coming on christ you so you teach an entire class devoted to the study of rhetoric and persuasion how much of the way a politician speaks has to do with whether or not to be trusted oh everything. you know we're talking about a digital age now where you're talking about just just pulses of information pulses of content no you do have long form. content out there on various platforms on the web even t.v. but you know the. it's

they wanted bush to do something.hey wanted a guy who was going to get up there and say bring them on, dead or alive, with us or against us. that was the mood of the country. and president bush reflected that. as david said, i think president obama reflects the mood of a different country at a different time, a country that's tired of that, a country that doesn't really want to go to war anywhere, even just with a few missiles -- >> but here's part of the problem, peter. and i think just if we look at this analytically, this president, with such war weariness, who goes out of his way to say we're so war weary, is basically saying here's a guy who's like adolf hitler, who's like saddam hussein, who's committed an unspeakable act, and america, because we're exceptional and because we're the anchor of global security, we must act. you know who that sounds like? it sounds a lot like bush. >> he didn't say that in 2008. he never said my definition is american exceptionalism is different, it has to do with what you can do i

the bush white house made a case for war that was not proven.into war with so many lies that the center for public integrity started charting them by months. the arguments that the white house made for the war were based on lines, not just by lies, but by utter moral abandon. and in trying to make that case for the united states, and having that personal stake that wmds were around the world or countries possessing the wmds or a country having the lack of control of the wmds, president bush's way to use that argument, they broke that bone. they used it disingenuously, maybe doing so they broke it forever. here is the question, we still have the question of who to do if there is the back door terrorists. we have a question on how to answer it. because now it is in five pieces because the bush administration bent it in half, waited for elephants to roll over it, and then set it on fire. we can't use that argument anymore. it makes your skin crawl, but in deciding to use the weapons, the president is trying. >> how to justify taking action, i know

bush and obama were not ready to get engaged. the bush admin is -- the obama administration said one president at a time and i got in trouble because i overestimated how many presidents we had i one. >> i would say one thing, in seriousness, i think george bush was a great president during this time. i think he dealt with the fact that he did not worry about public sentiment and was determined to do was right. housing is weak and we can spend a lot of time talking about housing finance. i was not able to limit the way of foreclosures. i regret that. it alluded the obama administration, as well. despite the angst i felt during the transition, as i look back at it, the policy continuity was extraordinary. because, president obama picked timothy geithner and ben bernanke was still there. barty was still there. chris dodd was still there. he picked him at the geithner, who had worked hand in glove with us as we designed this. -- he picked tim geithner, who had worked hand in glove with us as we designed this. there was pressure and i
