it goes back to right after the soviet union ended the clinton administration in the ninety's took the view that the united states won the cold war that isn't true just historically the cold war ended before the soviet union but american policy ever since the ninety's it's been based on the premise that russia is a weak and defeated nation and therefore we can have a unilateral or asymmetrical relation that is we can demand of moscow where we don't have to give up and that's exactly what's happened with the reset even under obama who promised to change policy what did russia give obama for example well they gave him some corporation in the afghan war lots of american supplies now go to afghanistan through russia moscow is help the united states rein in iran's nuclear ambitions that's always been very important thing for obama's foreign policy but name once and i say this to my friends in the american political cause name one thing of any meaning other than the words that russia has gotten in return that a batch that furthers its own national security so far as i can tell nothing and th

. >> brown: lawmakers agreed that panetta's past role as budget director back in the clinton administration makes him well suited to deal with tough fiscal decisions. those could include new weapons systems like the joint strike fighter. panetta agreed today that some programs may simply prove too costly in a time of austerity. >> in the briefings that i have had, it's obvious that this an area that we've got to pay a lot of attention to. we've seen these weapons systems grow in cost. it takes an extraordinary amount of time to the time its finally developed and deployed. we have got to improve that process. >> brown: at the same time, panetta would inherit a military strained by ten years of nearly continuous combat across several theaters. some of the strain might be lessened by a draw-down of troops in afghanistan expected to begin next month and be completed by the end of 2014. with a debate now underway over possibly speeding up that draw- down, outgoing defense secretary robert gates-- speaking at a nato meeting in brussels-- emphasized again today that the pull-out will not be allowe

what happened at the time of the clinton administration? >> in 1994 and '95, clinton decided that even though homeownership levels were very high in the low 60s, 62%, he wanted to sh them higher. homeownership was a wonderful thing. it was something everyone should experience. it's the american dream of homeownership. it's the idea that you can bld a nest egg. >> rose: a the idea that home prices always gop. >> home price always go up so why not allow everyone to participate in this great... >> rose: so nothing wrong with wanting that to be. >> nothing wrong with it. noble idea. absolutely noble idea. execution, ugly and bad. because what happened was no one was paying attention to the kinds of mortgages that were being paid which were incredibly poisonous, which were, by the way, most paradoxically targeting the people that we were trying to help to become ho owners. i mean, this was all about helping immigrants, helping minorities, helping first time home buyers become homeowners. >> rose:o did what? >> so we embraced the ivate industry t

because if you look at two of the three women, ruth bader ginsburg has been there since the clinton administration. but if you look at the two most recent women arrivals on the court, elena kagan and sonya sotomayor, they replaced john paul stephens and david souter, would have been in the minority. so the women didn't make a difference. >> the 5-4 the women are almost always voting together on the 5-4 decisions in the court. >> a lot of the decisions this year have once again broken on those ideological lines. and the women are in what we call the more liberal wing of the supreme court. gwen: all right. what are the -- >> all right. what are the other cases left on the docket for the supreme court? >> monday will be the last day. gwen: he started his countdown now. >> the little digital clock is running. the two most interesting that are left are first of all for the purposes of this program, a political funding case from arizona. and this is a case that said if you're a publicly funded candidate, you don't take any private contributions or take the state's money you get a certain amount of dough

years of the bush administration didn't add regulations they cut regulations and during the clinton administration when taxes were higher on rich people he created twenty three million jobs bush cut taxes and created three million jobs are you telling me that we need to cut more taxes. yes but i'm also telling you we need to learn from our past mistakes and look forward we have to solve our problems in the immediacy and long term it's not enough for us to be armchair quarterbacks looking back and saying well this was tried and it failed and just abandon a game or respond or out of time but i'm totally with you we should learn from the past and we should look at the prosperity that we have and if the sixty's seventy's and eighty's when it's up to x. rates were ninety one and seventy four percent any of david thank you for being disagree with i know you go through with ok it is you do is absurd to ask as temple and he also has his googles as proposal requires the federal government to stop offering services that can be offered by private companies on google considering that you can find a private co

for the most part, for example, in the clinton administration and president clinton himself consulted with congress during the u.s. intervention in the balkans. in sharp contrast, the obama administration's efforts to control the congress have been perfunctory, and complete, and dismissive of reasonable requests. this committee alone has experienced at least three occasions when briefings or canceled or relevant witnesses were denied without explanation. it was pointed out that very basic questions about the operation have gone unanswered. the deputy secretary of state declined to address certain questions on the basis they could only be answered by the military, and yet the administration has refused to provide the committee with defense department witnesses. it is inexplicable behavior that contributes to the damage that the libyan president might create in the future. i do not doubt that president obama elected to launch this war because of the altruistic impulse is, but that does not make the united states intervention in libya any less of a war of election. american pilots are fl

presidential personnel from the bush administration, clay johnson, the former chief of staff for the clinton administration, mack mccollarty, and they've wrote -- and i think it puts it well, that most everyone agrees that the federal appointments process is broken. they underscored that the bill before us will help the next administration to put in place very early in its first year the people that the new department heads need to get off to a fast start, working effectively with congress. mr. president, i hope that we can agree to undertake the modest reforms that we have included in this bill. i hope that we do not let this legislation and the rules committee resolution get caught up in the turf battles and the power struggles that too often sink good government initiatives in this body. this bill is a step in the right direction and a step that we should take together by an overwhelming margin. mr. president, at this point, i would ask unanimous consent, if they've not already been entered into the record, for letters endorsing the bill from the bipartisan policy center, the partnership for public serv

now i know we should have learned the lesson from the clinton administration when north korea was tryinghe administration sends in madeleine albright and said, hey, we'll build you a nuclear power plant if you build -- build a nuclear power plant if we tell you we won't pursue it? sure. we'll tell you all day long. that has been used to develop nuclear weapons just like anybody should have figured it would. when you deal with criminals, with lying thugs, you can't trust that agreement. . for us to be negotiating with the taliban there is a blight on those who have given their lives there. i attended a funeral this weekend of brad who went down in a helicopter accident june 5. we owe those people who have given their lives fighting against those who want to destroy our way of life better than cutting a deal. let's rearm the northern alliance for people who originally defeated the taliban, give them the advisors, trainers, all they need, and let them with the taliban -- let's don't negotiate with dill linger. it makes no sense. and we lose credibility. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore

promised it and b, because he believed that it was the last chance for an administration, the clinton administrationhat failed and others that failed and here was an opportunity he thought to get it done. so put all his political capital there. >> i have a lot of sympathy for universal healthcare. but while that was being discussed, why not also address the long term issue of healthcare costs. >> charlie: we would have all been better off if we talked abou the long term impacts, had the political urage to tk about the long term. if he satt the table and said i want this and this and this he probably would have gotten it at that point. now it's very complicated. >> charlie: people tend to be not more bold but less bold in a political election. >> yes. >> charlie: are you in the end optimistic. >> i am. i do think things in general are meant to work out. that doesn't mean thatyou alon the way won't face huge issues d problems, i do think are 're facing quite a few right now and i expect we'll face more in the future. >> charlie: to understand what you said is to focus on the long term, make sure at th

baby boom retirement, and truthfully, we were in a position when i left my last year of the clinton administration, we were on track to deal with of the retirement of the baby boom generation in a way that was not going to pass on significant debt to the next generation. i will go into how we lost our way but i will say the following. part of the goal and purpose of that was to ensure that the strains of an older more aging society did not prevent us from investing in our children and research, and innovation, the things that have helped make our country great. so the notion that as part of the strategy it hits well to cut those parts of domestic spending that are fundamentally about investing in the productivity innovation and research of the future to meet counters' much of the fundamental goal and us being able to, part of begole was to ensure we did not starve the investment in our children and education and research innovation. so to say that it doesn't matter or that it's actually a positive thing to be cutting those parts of the budget to levels we have never seen on record or not since the

truthfully, we were in a position when i look -- when i left at the end of the clinton administration that we were on track to deal with the retirement of the baby boom generation in a way that was not going to pass on significant debt to the next generation. i will not go into how we lost our way but i will say the following -- part of the goal and purpose of that was to insure that the strain of a more aging society did not prevent us from investing in our children, in research, in innovation, the things that helped make our country great. the notion that as part of the strategy it fits well to cut those parts of domestic spending that are fundamentally about investing in the productivity and innovation and research of the future, to me, counters much of the fundamental goal in us being able to get our fiscal house in order. part of the goal was to insure that we did not starve the investment in our children and education and research and innovation. to say that it does not matter or that it is a positive thing to be cutting those parts of our budget to levels we have never seen on

the clinton case people had sued during the fighting in kosovo suing the clinton administration.was thrown out because they were viewed as not having standing. >> i think the real message is what he's getting at. the courts don't want to be involved in this fight nor should they be. the real question is under the war powers resolution whether hostile it is is met by what we're doing in libya currently. the administration offered a position both in the april 1 olc memo and now most recently in this document they released today where they narrow it down to a few set of criteria as if you would allow that enemy -- the principles behind the war powers resolution which is to ensure that when troops are under sustained fire and there's not intermitt tent but sustained fighting that president will require then some sort of acknowledgement from congress that congress will allow this action to continue. although this memo really narrows what previous administrations have said. >> so the obama administration is essentially saying, in libya you don't have u.s. boots on the ground. there's n

and richard sakaritis former advisor on gay rights issues during the clinton administration. joining me here are two men who have worked very hard for this moment, evan wolfson and richard sakaritis evan, what do you think? >> i think this is wonderful. it's a win/win win. it's a win for families, a win for new york, it's a win for our country. it's even a win for the people who today are uncomfortable or uncertain and wrestling this because they're going to see that it took nothing away from anyone else when the family across the street is a little better off. and now we can turn together as americans, as new yorkers, to really working on the things that we really need to tackle together, the problems that are really facing all of us in these tough economic times. but of course we also now have many other states where this discrimination has to end. we have to end federal marriage discrimination against the legally married couples. and we have to work together to make our country better. but today was a big day for our country and for america and for our families. >> richard

and it was a reaction to star which then i must say the clinton administration, which had great pureal instincts exploited that kind of sentiment. and turned public opinion against the republicans who got whacked in the 1998 election thes, when you would have thought it would be have been a give me for the republicans. >> bill: you said though in the face of bill clinton making a couple back that weiner can't, why? >> clinton was in a different league. he was president. he had resources. he had generally speaking mainstream media prefer to have a democrat in the presidency than they do republican. gingrich was the foil. he anded on the cover of the news magazine, the gring grinch who stole christmas. wasn't the guy exactly in shining armor that the mainstream media would have preferred. president has a lot of resources and party clinton or we are going to sink. they stayed with him. that's not the same single congressman. >> no, they are bailing on him. that's for sure as we just heard with reid. charles very interesting as always. directly ahead. do you want the government to give y

against arms control, who she would later claim after becoming secretary of state in the clinton administration, that her world view was forged by munich. what is the munich reference? we get it all the time niece books. >> munich was the sellout of czech by britain and france in the 1938, and many opinion leaders, policy makers in the west, found that to be a searing lesson about how if you appeased dictators it will -- you know, you are simply encouraging them, and that you may not have to fight now, but you will have to fight later, and it will be even worse later. ok. well, that was the lesson that conservatives continue to want to apply to the soviet union and the communist world generally where liberals didn't. they wanted to apply that to the nazis but not to the communist, and i was -- madeline albright was opposed to most of the major steps that reagan wanted to take to fight the cold war. and liberals across the board thought that this was reckless and wrong headed and she was one of the most prominent critics of the reagan policy. >> you bring in the church, the catholic church, prot

come to you, you have been there in the thick of the politics of this when you served in the clinton administrationmy is not going well. we'll get to the substance in a minute or so. but just as a matter of politics, don't you think there has been a notable absence of articulation from the white house about what the white house is going to do and also to use president clinton's famous phrase, who is saying i feel your pain right now, where is that sense of empathy coming from, if anywhere? >> i think, eliot, the president has to get out in front on the jobs situation. i don't think the white house can any longer pretend that the economy is a recovery path. the recovery really has stalled. there is every evidence of a major stall here. and the president has got to say, look, here are my ideas for getting us out of the stall. even if those ideas can't go very far. even if republicans oppose them, he has got to not only for the purpose of helping average americans, but also for the political optics, he's got to actually show that he is being active and proactive with regard to jobs and wages. >> you k

when the competition produced bad blood and bad publicity in the scientific community, the clinton administration arranged for the two sides to announce a truce and a tie, even though many believe that venter's company, celera genomics, was ahead. but for venter, the celebration was short-lived. the tension between making science and making money, and personality conflicts with his corporate bosses, got venter sacked a year and a half later. you accomplished all this stuff, and you got fired by the company that brought you in to do this. >> venter: yup. >> kroft: they locked the doors. >> venter: they locked the doors and sent me away. >> kroft: the experience left him deeply depressed, but he was financially well off and still in business, having endowed his research institute with $100 million in stock at the height of the biotech boom. within a few years, he was once again making waves in the world of science. only this time, at age 64, he's not just trying to decipher genetic codes; now, he's trying to create them. this is a quote from one of your critics.
