organizing bill clinton is another. indeed, much of the acrimony dates back to 2008 in the democratic primary when clinton called then-senator obama's opposition to the iraq war a fairy tale and compared obama's south carolina primary win to jesse jackson's victory 20 years earlier. even on the eve of candidate obama's coronation in denver, clinton wasn't quite ready to deliver a full-throated endorsement. >> is he ready to be president? >> well, in the -- you could argue that no one is ever ready to be president. i mean, i certainly learned a lot about the job in the first year. >> but the thing that really truly bothered clinton more than anything else was a remark that can datd obama made during a 2008 interview that the former president could not abide. >> i think ronald reagan changed the trajectory of america in a way that, you know, richard nixon did not. and in a way that bill clinton did not. >> burn. that comment reportedly irked clinton so much that he returned obsessively to the slight throughout the 2008 ca

if the president said today, off and on, he talked to bill clinton. he talks to hillary clinton. he talks to a number of people across the board. but jake, i want to say something. this is a day that people will remember as a moment when we look back at john f. kennedy and what he inspired. the civil rights movement. the women's movement. i mean, john f. kennedy was the first president to issue a report on equal pay for women back in 1963. this is a big day in history because we honor those who ruffled feathers, who step on toes and today we give them a medal because of the fact that they were courageous. >> you know that picture we were just showing on the air now of president obama looking at bill clinton, it just begs a question, what are they thinking at this particular moment. you want little captions over hair heads, right? and you know, you read so much and we know so much about their uneasy relationship. remember, during hillary clinton's tough campaign against president obama, he was saying at that point, candidate obama, this whole thing is the biggest fairy tale i've e

for hillary clinton? did obama despise bill? tonight live from washington with the explosive details from the sec well to "game change" and joining me to talk about and and more, who else on halloween but an -- ann caulter? >> and boston strong and stronger. the city bounces back after the bombings. i'll talk to the most injured man from the attack and find out even if you're not a red sox fan, we all have a reason to celebrate. >>> the big story, the breaking news on the 2012 white house race, brutal and personal and we only know half of it. "the new york times" is reporting the new book "double done" reveals obama was poised to put hillary clinton has his running mate. candy, explosive stuff in this book. >> you know, if you're a junky and there at the time and remember certain things going on, it kind of helps everything come together and you're right, the lead of this at least according to the new york times version of reading this book is that top aids to the president said we need to go and poll tabs. they were low 40s, ab

only bill clinton knows. [laughter] i'm going to stop with that because i feel as though it's a good time to get off the stage after you have referred to a dog that has to be mrs.. animal is my specialty. [applause] >> thank you all. as john said we are both happy to be here at the miami book fair. i have been here a few times, happy to be back. exhilarated for a lot of reasons. one is c-span2 cameras are there and i knew that john is was going to end with that story so i spent most of my morning anticipating what brian lamb's reaction was going to be after that trade i'm just going to talk for a little that because we like to leave a lot of time for q&a and as far as we are concerned start thinking of questions. nothing is off-limits about the book or journalism or anything you want. you can ask about the details of of the implementation of the presidents health care law for what we have learned about the details of the clinton's marriage. all we would ask during q&a you do all of your questions in the form

bill clinton made his box even smaller. what's behind those helping his wife butt some space between herself and obama? >> i remember press conference in the briefing room president clinton was in there. obama -- one of them wouldn't leave. i can't remember which one wouldn't leave. clinton wouldn't leave. this has been going on. it is a while in dc circles they don't get along. a lot of people are speculating why he would do that. this didn't help president obama at all. because he now hads to do something. what do you do? do you continue to have 50,000 enrollees or do you make changes? jay carney said we understand what he had to say. maybe the president is looking it all up. >> i will make one last point. he could look at it another way. bill clinton real lipped president obama today. he basically took away the dam and now the water can flow out obama can say i am going to have to make some changes ear. it stops the guesswork out of it. it could be a forcing action. >> the only thing i thought about this i talked to diff

he's good at the hard stuff but bad at the easy stuff is clinton's line. >> it's easy for clinton. >>s like why can't he put it on an index card in bullet point messages. >> he said he wanted to be a transformative president like ronald reagan and not play favors like bill clinton. >> your famous cover story in the '08 campaign was goodbye to all that. that was obama as the sort of clean break from all the baby boomer narcissism of 1990s. and obama embraced that by the way in his campaign. >> candy, do you have any sense of what kind of relationship they have now? do they talk on the phone? does president obama do that kind of stuff? are, i don't think they're bffs, no. we found out i think about the time that hillary clinton left the white house. by the way, he has a better relationship with her than he does with her husband. but the fact is when she left that was about the time we found out that they had never -- that michelle and barack obama had never had the clintons to the white house forks hey, hang out and have some dinner. you'd think that would be sort of natural. it was a l

but a key political point here is that bill clinton and hillary clinton really have to be rooting for succeed. why? because if it fails, the last thing she wants to talk about in a 2016 campaign is health care, what to do about it. she doesn't want to have to go through this again. she doesn't want the baggage of a failed obama care program to have to contend with. even more importantly, we're all old enough here -- maybe nia isn't, but we're all old enough to remember back to 1993 when hillary clinton was in charge of health care reform and there's no polite way to say this. she really messed it up. it made it difficult to deal with health care reform for two years -- for two decades. they don't want to have to relive that history, the last time she got big into a polish. they have to be rooting for obama care for all the right reasons and in terms of political reasons to do well in the next six months to a year. >> it seems like hillary clinton learned the same lesson from her failure in 1994 in health care that president obama learned from it. and because, in fact, nia is not old e

clinton's call came just days after mr. obama said he was sorry people were finding themselves with cancelled policies. press secretary jay carney says the president has asked for options, but not options that let people keep plan that say don't meet obama care standards. >> we do not see that as fixing the problem, we see that as throwing the baby out with the bath water. >> reporter: carney suggests one option might involve subsidies for people whose current insurance policies are being cancelled and who can't afford the new plans they're being offered. house speaker john boehner said that's not what clinton recommended. he said they should keep their old plans if they want even if it takes a change in the law. former vice president cheney says he agrees with mr. clinton that the president should keep his promise but he doesn't believe he can. >> it's hard to think how you would implement that. i think what needs to be done is repeal obama care. i think it's a serious, serious foul-up. >> reporter: meanwhile the white hou

president clinton, drop me an e-mail.l me what good that interview did when you said that there are three things wrong with obama care. there are people out there who were sitting on every word, wondering who do i believe. do i believe the lines of misinformation? well, is ed lying to me, or what's going on? is there really a junk insurance industry out there? absolutely, there is. and the whole point of this is that american consumers have had lousy insurance policies. but now we've got president clinton, things are so mixed up, he's out there saying, you know what, if we told people that they could keep their insurance, that's the way it ought to be. no. president obama said that. because there were a lot of people in this country who were on the fear fence worried what's going to happen to them. are we going to lose our insurance. yeah, if it's lousy, you are. just say it. instead we're mopping it up and now they're throwing out possible legislation that might fix this. you know what will fix this? people go to the web

how would you stop hillary clinton? i don't think -- >> there's good case studies around a how republicans win in swing or even blue areas. go to wisconsin, the home of progressive politics from the left, and scott walker serving as governor. go to the blue state of arizona, or new mexico -- >> you're not intimidated? you're not impressed? >> of course. she's going to be formidable. she would be a formidable candidate, but there are obvious case studies where republicans do well, and we can learn from that and we should. >> donna, today's democratic party is very different from the one that hillary's husband presided over in the '90s. he was praised for welfare reform, lowering abortion rates. you know, don't ask/don't tell. it's a different party, and even when hillary last ran for president, you were allowed to be a democrat. so is enough change that she's going to have to run as a progressive now? >> no, look, what bill clinton did back in the 1990s was expand the democratic party. the party was no longer a regional

besides hillary clinton. it's very diffuse and circling firing squad bought they have a whole big wide field of people. right now it's hillary clinton or who, we don't know. >> ee list beth warren but no one touches the enthusiasm hillary clinton has right now. ready for hillary ad, in case people have not had a chance to see it. let's take a look at it. >> think of the sufferages that gathered at seneca falls in 1848 and those who kept fighting until women could cast their votes, thing of the abolitionists who struggled and died to see the end of slavery. as we gather here today, in this historic, imagimagnificent buil the 50th woman to leave this earth is orbiting. if we can blast 50 women into space, we will some day launch a woman into the white house. >> that's from the pro-hillary super pac here. we know at least according to the poll, she underperformed among men there. what is your take as it relates to what she needs to do to get some of the men perhaps live in pennsylvania, your home state, to get o

bill clinton just made this box even smaller. his comments not designed to help the president. >> remember -- i remember a press conference in the briefing room. obama for -- one of whom wouldn't leave. i can't remember which one wouldn't leave. clinton wouldn't leave. he said he was holding the stage. but this has been going on. it is a while -- in d.c. circles, well-known fact they don't get along. a lot of people are speculate why he would do this. this didn't help president obama out at all. he's now -- he has to do something. president obama has to address the issue. what do you do? do you continue to have 50,000 or 100,000 enrollees or make changes. jay carney this afternoon in the briefing room said, well, you know, we understood what clinton had to say and maybe -- the president is looking at all options. >> i think that -- look at it anot bill clinton actually really helped president obama today. because he gave -- he basically took -- took away the dam and now the water can flow out. so obama can say all right, i have t

you take a shot at hillary clinton and you are nailed.ow does a republican candidate do that facing that fuse laud of attack? >> i think she is a formidable candidate. i don't think it's that hard to attack her. she's pretty vulnerable. she's going to be associated with the obama administration. and the argument will be do you want a third term of the bawl administration. and i think she also will be attacked a little bit on the idea of does she have real executive experience? can she really take over and lead this country to a right place? i think bob is right in a sense of what is her vision. and that was her biggest challenge in the last election. she's going to be challenged from the left by elizabeth warren or somebody like that. and then you're going to attack her on being liberal. this time, if she's pushed far to the left you can attack her on those grounds. >> i did hear benghazi. not a word on benghazi. before i go past you here. benghazi, do you want to say anything? >> i think it's going to be good tor the royal conservatives.

thank you so much, president clinton.use [ applause ] >> so these are the recipients of the 2013 presidential memgds of freedom. these are the men and women who remind us all of the beauty of the human spirit and the values that define us as americans, the potential that lives inside awful us. i could not be more happy and more honored to participate in this ceremony here today. with that, what i would like to do is invite our honorees to just sit there and let all of us stand and give you a big round of applause. [ applause ] [ cheers and applause ] [ applause ] >> hey. hey. [ applause ] >> i guess we should actually give them the medals, though. so where are my -- here we go. you want to hit it? >> presidential medal of freedom recipients. ernie banks. [ applause ] with an unmatched enthusiasm for america's past time, ernie banks smiled his way into the record books. known to fans as mr. cub, he played an extraordinary 19 seasons with the chicago cubs during which he was named to 11 all-star teams, hit over 500 home run

president obama, hillary clinton, bill clinton, michelle obama. in their

and clinton. what you have seen since the election is you saw right after the election bill clant and barack obama played golf together, a much friendlier round on 60 minutes you saul barack obama and hillary clinton doing an because of together as she was leaving the state department. and since then, hmm every person in the president's ward who declared a preference dechaired for hillary clinton, and that is happening either with the president's support, president obama's support or at least his tacit approval you can imagine a world yo you are sayig to staff people and politic politicians in his orbit you know i have a vice president who might want to run let's everybody hold off he hasn't done that, so i think the bill clinton without a doubt helped at the conventions after the democratic convention in charlotte, governor romney, new house said he never saw anything like the turn of the right track, wrong track number of people saying on the right track and he attributed almost exclusively to h

how close we came to having vice president hillary clinton today. there is a game change book and the dump joe biden isn't the only one on it. >>> electronics cleared for take off, i'll talk to the computer geek that helped make the faa change its mind about in flight electronics for the first time in 50 years. >> and we will take you down inside a newly discovered tunnel that carries drugs into the united states by the ton. we begin with breaking news. >>> inside the reporting that political correspondents kill for and they did it with the blockbuster game change and done it again. the new book is called "double down, game change 2012" and loaded with details how the obama campaign explained dumping joe biden and harry reid got the idea reid didn't pay income tax and more. the book doesn't come out until next week but jonathan martin has all the inside details and joins us now. it's fascinating on your reporting in this. how serious were they looking into having hillary clinton be the vice president? >> it was serious, not that it was intentionally

there was real clinton fatigue. that existed not just among consultants but among democratic primary voters. i did not see that in the poll. >> not just clinton fatigue last time around but clinton disagreement. she was at odds with a big segment of the party over the war that doesn't really exist this time around. one of the things that ea's interesting, and i was going to defend ahead of time, you need a starting point. >> the hardest person to be put up against. >> that's the interesting thing. one of the reasons for the strong clinton numbers is she is up against nobody. what democratic voter out there could tell you who else might be running? >> i have to interrupt you here. we have an important piece of once in a century breaking news. it's right now 9:10 on 11/12/13. there are 3,000 people getting married today, by way. he had confetti that came down and all this stuff. a once in a century moment that will happen four more times in america as we go through the time zones. >> and we shared it. >> i would have

bill clinton is saying it.n democrats who are already feeling the pressure from their constituents cover. >> absolutely. frank, there's a new quinnipiac poll out just moments ago saying that only 19% of american voters think that the quality of care they and their families receive will improve next year. 43% say it will get worse. 33% say unaffected. that's a pretty strong number indicating the nation has lost faith in obama care. >> not great numbers. you could certainly use the explainer in chief weighing in on behalf of obama care. in fact, the rest of that interview, clinton did a great job of explaining -- >> and defending. >> -- and defending the plan. but this intervention is particularly unhelpful because he makes it sound like there's an easy fix for this very small group of people but very poignantly, have had a great deal of uncertainty injected into their lives because their plans have been canceled or -- so there's no -- there's really no easy fix for this. i think clinton by simplifying things as

president obama needed clinton through this last cycle and -- >> needed hillary clinton in his firsteral election campaign. >> exactly. and now the favor's going to be returned or the debt is going to have to be repaid because the clintons will need president obama to deliver up his coalition for them, if indeed as we all expect if hillary clinton runs and gets the democratic nomination. what's interesting is just this prickliness there, the clenched jaws, the body language, the reluctant praise. i don't know how they're going to talk about each other. it will be fascinating to watch that unfold in full public view through '15 and '16. >> president obama did get reelected with bill clinton's help. there has to be some genuine good feeling there. do you have any sense of how much of it has developed as genuine, positive human feeling, especially between the president and his former secretary of state? >> well, look, i think it's pretty clear that the relationship between president obama and secretary clinton is one that seems to be a lot warmer than between the two presidents who seem

obama really feel about former president clinton. fascinating details. >>> and using electronics for the flying masses. >>> plus a really bad day for this $300,000 ferrari. and sights and sounds of a healthy and happy halloween 2013. >>> good morning. i'm mara schiavocampo. we begin with the story of ten who escaped a bus crash unharmed. it toppled off a bridge into a fast moving creek in douglas, kansas. it landed on its side. all the children on board were under the anyone ge of 13. older kids are credited with helping the younger ones escape through a roof hatch. >> there was all screaming and stuff and then me and my friend were telling them to calm down and stuff. >> i was scared, but i really wasn't and my friends, i tried to put them first to get them out of the water. >> at the same time, the 64-year-old bus driver called 911, he was later treated for hypotherm hypothermia. this morning the kansas highway patrol is investigating why he drove on a water covered bridge. officials say rain caused the low rise bridge to flood ove

bill clinton said a couple of things. low income young people are finding themselves at greater odds of getting bad insurance and another thing he talked about. young people are balking for expensive coverage for things they don't need. they are man dated to carry and that's why 5 million with individual policies cancelled already. to be continued and johnathon thank you. and richard thank you. there will be a lot of questions. thank you guys. . >>> all right camerota, check it out. researchers developing technology to precisely predict hurricanes and super stops any edge can make a difference between life-and-death. douglas kennedy is live on that next. >> reporter: a big problem with hurricanes, you often don't know where they are going. one man in new jersey can make unpredictable super storms predictable. in october 2012, travis miles was working on the jersey shore. when hurricane sandy barrelled its way up the east coast. >> it was supposed to go out to sea and then it veered back? >> yeah, it was coming up the atla

let's talk about another clinton, bill clinton.far as the supposed deal that the obama campaign, president obama made with bill clinton to campaign for him back in 2012. >> yeah, this was interesting. remember how much of an asset bill clinton was to the obama campaign. we all remember that speech in charlotte at the democratic national convention. the authors report there was an extended courtship effort behind the scenes from the obama campaign to get bill clinton involved in the race, to get out on the road and talk about the middle class issues that he's so good at talking about on the stump. but according to the book, clinton aide doug band, issued an ultimatum to the obama campaign saying bill is only going to help you guys, if you pay off hillary clinton's campaign debt from 2008. now the number was actually kind of negligible, only about a quarter million dollars. but the act of just asking for him to pay off this debt, the quid pro quo apparently struck obama campaigns as sort of an offensive thing. but they eventually agr

president clinton was talking specifically. he said he was talking about young people that were in the pool that were four times above the poverty line. we're only talking about the individual market here, and we're only talking about people who didn't -- who had their insurance after 2010. but the idea this is somehow or another that's broad base -- by the way the individual market is only 5% of the total. let's be careful what we're throwing around here. people get their health insurance cancelled all the time. you want to tell me that there were no health insurance cancellations before obama care? that's absurd. some of the things we're saying on here don't stand up to basic scrutiny. >> i think, james, it's wonderful 30 million people will be covered with insurance but the way it was done is so horrific because it's forcing every one of those people basically on to two programs either medicare or forcing them into the private insurance system. it will increase the cost. the other great mistruth, obama said everybody would g

the clintons don't. the clintons seem to be the political winners. >> very, very interesting. >> really. >> one more race to get to. >> this is a big one. >> it's viewed as a battle that will shape the future direction of the republican party. today's special election run-off in alabama's first congressional

people want to say, hey, hasn't hillary clinton been here before. the answer is no. 60% even among groups that were the most important to barack obama's white coalition. men, educated white men, college educated whites and folks out west and in the south. these were people that were par of the obama coalition along with african-americans that allowed them to get over the top. amongst those groups she's fine, much better position than eight years ago. chris christie, whole other story. all the conversation me and chris and everyone said, he's got problems with the more conservative wing of the party, that shows up in this poll, andrea. >> meanwhile, a lot of problems the white house is facing, chris cillizza, on health care. beginning to see that, democrats up for election, senate democrats very concerned about losing the senate because of obama care. a lot of talk they are not going to be able to get this website fixed. there is the policy problem where the president's promise was clearly not a fair, accurate promise. they had to know that going in.

the obama's in the clintons are college one big political family a lot of obama's. infrastructure a lot of his former advisors have kind of drifted to her you know a lot of his former supporters in elective politics have drifted to her none of them really drifted to joe biden who you might have thought would be the recipient of that kind of support they're all kind of making their way into clinton world it's an incredible thing given the bitterness of two thousand and eight that where they've ended up right now is great characterizations of all the republican guys who are running is a lot of fun in the very fun reading in the book christie comes out very well he's undecided but then he does as he meets with the family is the problem with fit to dozens of scene i think no matter what if he decides to take a pass on the race as he did into in two thousand and twelve i think he'll still be a huge force of the party as he wasn't you know we were in detail about his consideration of running but he least he decides not to but then he's a huge force indorsing romney but he

obama will go there along with former president bill clinton and hillary clinton. and, thomas, as everything in washington is political, this is the first time that president obama and bill clinton will be seen together since bill clinton uttered those famous remarks a few days ago that if you have your -- if you liked your health care plan, you should be allowed to in fact keep it. so folks will be sort of reading into the tea leaves of their interaction today and moving forward and any time they're together, obviously, in an event of this magnitude there is a 2016 speculation about their appearance together at the flame. so that's the political tea leaves if you will. maybely this ceremony serves as a huge honor. among the other folks receiving the presidential medal of freedom. dean smith, former coach at the university of north carolina, sally ride. obviously the late first woman in space. ernie banks, known as mr. cub. so there's a lot of star power here, including oprah winfrey, which has really packed the white house. my white house producers tell me as you

>> bill clinton spoke the truth. i think it was fine what he said. >> let me get a little more cryptic here. here it is. leading democratic strategist such as doug sherman. clinton's poll, are warning that obama care will cost the democrats in 2014 and may fatally damage hillary clinton's presidential campaign in 2016. is that why we have the interest of the pot? >> president? >> he understands how critical it is for a president to keep his word. somewhere in his calculation, he was thinking about the political campaign three years out. i don't know why i think that. i'm talking about bill clon ton. >> clinton. >> he was -- exit question. is the democratic party erupting into a civil war on the left plank? and the clinton democrats on the right plank? >> no. they are just following bill clon ton who knows when the water reaches the main deck, you follow the raft. >> the president is giving bill clinton the presidential medal of freedom next week. all is well. >> i don't think it's a civil war. everyone is panicked an

the obama's in the clintons are colleague one big political family a lot of obama's. infrastructure a lot of his former advisers have kind of drifted to her you know a lot of his former supporters in elective politics have drifted to her none of them really drifted to joe biden who you might have thought would be the recipient of that kind of support they're all kind of making their way into clinton world it's an incredible thing given the bitterness of two thousand and eight that where they've ended up right now is great characterizations of all the republican guys who are running as a lot of thought in the very fun reading in the book christie comes out very well he's undecided but then he does this nice with the family is the problem with fit to dozens of scene i think no matter what if he decides to take a pass on the race as he did in two in two thousand and twelve i think he'll still be a huge force of the party as he wasn't you know we were in detail about his consideration of running but he least he decides not to but then he's a huge force indorsing romney bu
