twomac with their marked similarities between working in the clinton administration, the obama administration. differences. >> i think they were reverent brother different. the president sets the tone at the top. president obama and president clinton are both incredibly smart people who took the job seriously and study hard. the styles and temperaments are different. president obama for instance, as with president clinton a voracious reader. somebody who came to every discussion having thoroughly read the materials ready to quiz people on the intricacies. not to rehash ways are a read but to take the discussion for our five plays down the field. president clinton was equally thoughtful and vigorous but just having a different style. for example president obama, if you are in a meeting in the white house situation, and he was at the head of the table and all the cabinet level officers were right around the table, and he would be reading a discussion as to what we should do about xyz but he almost always turn to the experts who sits behind principles against the wall the more junior people who

the clinton administration was pursuing many of the same goals as the bush administration the -- in the middle east, especially the israeli-palestinian peace process, which morphed into the oslo process under clinton. also in the early clinton years, iran was carrying out a lot of terrorist attacks, especially in europe, but also elsewhere, assassinating iranian exiles and also a couple of attacks in argentina and elsewhere. so, this is a time in which iran was really being rather schizophrenic, on one hand being open to the united states in terms of talking points, but on the other hand, carrying out nasty attacks. all of this culminated in the hobart towers bombing of 1986, backed by iran but not carried out by iran, in which 19 u.s. air force personnel were killed in a dramatic terrorist attack. there was strong suspicion immediately that iran was behind this, but the clinton administration did not get concrete proof for quite some time. the clinton administration chose to wait until they had strong evidence. by the time they had strong evidence, things had changed a lot in iran, so
