put him on trial, and bill clinton was no great lover of richard nixon, but bill clinton came to have great respect for richard nixon's insights. i remember he told me once that he had received a private letter from richard nixon about the soviet union. he said it was the most insightful and helpful paper he'd received up until that time on the subject. i had an unusual experience working for president clinton in that i'd worked for president nixon and i kept up with him off and on in the years intervening, and i had a call from president nixon who said i'm going to be in washington in a couple of weeks. would you come have breakfast with me? i said, sure, i'd be honored to come, and i asked him if i could bring somebody from the white house, and i told him i'd like to bring the chief of staff which was matt mccharty who was then chief of staff for bill clinton and he happily agreed to go and we went to the washington circle hotel which is on dupont circle, and i remember arriving there in the morning and it was just the three of us, but a young woman who was there with him was his re

few can match secretary clinton's growing schedule, but one such person is celebrated with hillary clinton in "time" magazine's current issue of the 100 most influential people in the world, something mack mclarty mentioned. it lanes me to give well-deserved credit to "newsweek's" rival, but i must. of course, i'm talking about the first imf director who happens to be a woman, my friend christine lagarde. christine rearranged her travel plans in order to offer tonight's introduction before leaving on yet another foreign trip. not long after i joined the wilson center, christine honored us by making her first public remarks in washington as imf director in a morning speech at the center. in that speech, she credited woodrow wilson for sewing the seeds that underscore the need for bold collective action to achieve global economic stability. surely, woodrow wilson would be proud of her. before that speech, i invited a group of former female colleagues from congress to breakfast with her. i keep a picture of that meeting in my office. there she is. cowering over the vertically challenged senat

clinton introduced clinton.ou guys get two presidents for one out of this event which is a pretty good deal. a democratic source described the event as a first date. we have ed rendell, a former mayor of philadelphia, and mark penn who was the chief strategist for hillary clinton 2008 presidential campaign. i always look to you governor rendell for anything about the clintons. you're close, it's a relationship, it's for life. so here is the question, is this a good marriage, will it last through november which is all that matters. >> absolutely, number one, president clinton's belief that president obama did the best out of the circumstances, and second out of a real respect for president obama and the way he handled the relationship with secretary clinton. they have a much value relationship and even friendship, and i think president clinton has been enormously impressed with that. i think it is all out, 100%, not leaving anything on the table. >> so i would like you to go over that event. we don't hear much ab

and also that clinton very much, president clinton held a grudge, even more so than now secretary of state hillary clinton over what happened during the primary, but that the turning point was really during the transition, as president obama got ready to come into office that president clinton was very happy with how he was treated and more importantly, according to this source, how his wife was treated. >> brianna keeler, our white house correspondent. joining us now former republican senator norm coleman, he's an advisor to mitt romney's campaign, and the democratic senator brian dorgan. also author of "blowout". i want to get to some other stuff, but bill clinton out there campaigning for barack obama in florida, pennsylvania, ohio. if he does that, that's huge? >> i think it's important, because barack obama has trouble connecting with the working men and women in florida, ohio and pennsylvania. when you got 38 months of unemployment above 8% and the economy is suffering, bill clinton can certainly be a help. barack obama needs all the help he can get. >> i assume you've already

for clinton. upset with how carter handled it. and carter, i think when he finally sends carter to haiti, he sent along sam dunn and colin powell to baby-sit him bus he didn't think he could trust carter to do the right thing. in the end i think president carter showed press clinton how to be an expresident. he was the model for becoming the globe trotting, problem solving and he will affect all the president who follow, i think. >> we have so much more about the president's club. if you want to see our full interview go to greta wire.com. it will be posted there, the full interview. straight ahead, move over house wives. a fiery new group of women is taking tv by storm. and they are making the housewives look tame. you will meet a star of the new show gcb. show gcb. that's next.

barack obama knows bill clinton can not only raise him money from clinton folks who supported his wife back in 2008 and might not be on board and he can be a surrogate in places like pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, ohio, places where in the rural parts of those states, president obama has struggled somewhat. >> and let's talk about the politics of the whole question of whether osama bin laden, the hit on bin laden, whether that raid is an appropriate or not campaign claim. this is becoming one of the big arguments of the last couple of days. >> you know, andrea, this may be a cynical and not widely held view but it is in my belief in politics, almost anything is far game. this is part of the president's record. we so this election will be largely a referendum how president obama did in office. it is impossible to talk about how he did in office without talking about of osama bin laden and his death. now, the president doesn't deserve sole credit. he wasn't one of the people who raided the compound but he was ultimately the guy that if things had gone wrong, blame would have fallen o
