but once they see cuomo... what fewer taxes are going to bring, if that brings cuts to education and to health care, then the public may not be behind it in the same way because i think in theory people say taxes are too high, spending is too high. government is out of control. but if you ask them specifically in polls would you cut schooling? would you cut your children's school? they'll say no. we don't want to do that. it will be difficult for cuomo to continue to convince people that these cuts have to be made. >> ifill: is there a low hanging fruit in new york state like john kaye sik is looking for in ohio? >> you know, there isn't really. they've already done a lot of that. they raised a temporary income tax on the wealthy. that expires in april. cuomo says he doesn't want to renew that. so they've made a lot of the easy cuts. you know, they've cut things like the paper supplies of state agencies. former governor patterson imposed 900 lay-offs so there really isn't a lot of stuff left. we're going to hav

the underlying problem as states are spending too much and so what have governors tried to do andrew cuomo a democratic governor in new york he said he's gone and looked at the books and said ok we're spending too much for every one dollar we take in spending one dollar and ten cents we need to do these reforms we need to we need to get our books in check and when you try to do this who is it who's inhibited him unions and so you can i wouldn't say unions are solely to blame for these these state budget problems but at every turn when governors try and try to fix some of these unions getting their foot in the door and hitting necessary reforms for the states there's a lot of talk of the state of oregon you're not seeing this in oregon where you know you have an incoming governor there not saying hey let's lash what they did in oregon where they said we're going to raise taxes on rich people to cover up this budget deficit so so that's the reason that that's not true that you want to be in the way unions have such. people look at you to get the right why don't you first officer and i told h

the cuomo piece about government in prose and campaign in poetry like you do when you campaign. that's what makes it so difficult, keeping the attention. so i don't think necessarily his speeches or his rhetoric has gone down compared to the campaign. as dr. we are ri said, it's just a different time, and you're not in campaign mode, your in governing mode. and that's just slogging it out with congress every day on the budget. you're going to see this. imagine, you've got to go out every day, and you're talking to -- your audiences are also changing. you're talking in a lot of ways to congress, directly to them to try to move them to your policies. so i think that's part of it. >> and you don't -- and to tag on to that, you don't also have anybody taking up the slack. the obama campaign organized all these people with the structure and people who were excited and so on. it's not like there's somebody else in the campaign who can go out ask inspire people -- and inspire people. i mean, i don't know who that would be, but at least -- and it might not be as good. in order, there's

. >> the cuomos of new york. what is it? >> just part of our heritage we really do hold on to those imaginary figures we hold more on the substantive side than they were capable of that is who we are we love to talk about the kennedys more importantly, bill clinton is becoming bigger and bigger and bigger, and more productive, on the inspirational side it is like a cult he comes to town let's say, sales force.com and there is a scramble for the private opportunity after he finishes his gig to talk about and sit at his feet as he puts on flip flops and a sweater and tells stories that may or may not be true. >> well, it is not necessarily the democrats holding dynasties what about the bushes? >> that remains to be seen. we have president bush and the son but i don't know if they have the allure you notice when the republican conventions roll around it is not like they are upfront and center. democrats much bigger on this a fluke of american politics party of the people loves the glamour. >> who doesn't love a little glamour.

host: also, new york state, andrew cuomo is the new governor. challenge on day one. host: "the la times" talks this morning about the outgoing governor, arnold schwarzenegger. you can read that there today. john, republican. what would surprise you most? caller: if the republicans in office took the time to explain to federal and government workers that the people can no longer afford to pay them more money than they received. when you figure that the problem is government, everyone does not want to take a risk. the government lives well at our expense. 1/5 not because of the rich or these other things. if they take the time to explain to them that they have a choice, take a pay cut or take a hike. this will not be like greece, the other parts of europe falling apart because the government has run out of private sector money to pay these government sector employees so much money to live well at our expense. host: the caller mentioned pay cuts. from "the boston globe," this story -- host: you can also read a story in "the new york times" today about public workers and

if i am not mistaken, governor cuomo, who will be an outstanding governor, he tried to give me a jet pack. i had to refuse it. i had the secret service confiscate it. and i will say both the jets and the bears are slight underdogs. in addition to governor cuomo, i would like to acknowledge the lieutenant governor can tell -- and lieutenant governor. chuck schumer and senator gillibrand are here. members of the congressional delegation are up this way. the attorney general is here. the outstanding mayor who flew up with me because we had an event in the white house for mares and he was on marine one and air force one and he looked like he was having a pretty good time. and from albany, mayor jerry jenningses here. thank you. thank you for the outstanding introduction and thank you, ge. it is great to be her. i just had a chance to see some of the high-tech turbines and all kinds of fancy stuff that is being made here and manufactured here at this plant this is unbelievably impressive and part of a proud tradition. ge has been producing turbines and generators here for more than a cent

difference in governing and running for office, the poetry of politics and the prose of governing as mario cuomo said, from what he said tonight? >> it's the losing control of house which allowed him to decouple himself from nancy pelosi and realize that he could no longer continue to govern in a partisan crisis mode, which did he dur the first two years. there's an accidental conflewence he had to make the changes because he no longer has the parry in control of the house but the crisis are over. yes there's a crisis in unemployment but the necessity to pass big legislation i don't think the democrats would be inclined to do that any any case. he had to decouple from nancy pelosi and he spent a couple months figuring out now that i'm decoupled what options does that give me? as i said at the beginning he has only returned to the person he was before he has not invented a new persona. >> partly by necessarily and the partly by choice, the president in the first two years came across, and he is aware of this, came across looking like the chief negotiator or a prime ministerial figure, a leader of

andrew cuomo, another democrat, calling for a pay freeze in new york for state workers. and it's not just the republican idea anymore. all the governors are facing the same problems. we have to face them head up. >> chris: you have repeatedly rejected calls to run for president in 2012. in fact, you said short of suicide, you don't foe what you could do to convince people you're not running. i want to put up, because i'm still not convinced. i put up a poll, new poll of all the potential g.o.p. candidates. the only one who currently beats president obama is a fellow named chris christie, 43% to 40%. don't you think you're up to being president? >> listen, the president can rest easy. the only guy who could beat him in the poll isn't running. i have a state to run. i love new jersey. >> chris: why not? you obviously feel strongly about this. you think you have a better way to do it and everybody else is messing it up. why not go for it? >> listen, two reasons. one z i have a commitment to my state. i have been governor for a year. new jersey's problems are not fixed. we h

understanding of the tone, ear deafness of what was going on in the country, the two best were andrew cuomoaking over as governor of new york and john boehner. >> a democrat and republicans. >> nothing self-congratulate tore. no high fives no victory dance in the end zone, no big gala with high rollers. i thought he showed a very good tone. and a personal modesty. >> i would say since the election if you look at the two washington figures who have had excellent periods, i think boehner and obama have had excellent periods. >> obama went to 50% by going on vacation for two weeks. let's talk about the president, gene sperling today appointing as top economic. what do you think. >> i think is an excellent appointment because sperling is the kind of guy, a fountain of policy programs. there is nobody else like him. >> he is a talking -- >> he does talk a lot but if you wake him up and say i would like to help the middle class. will say i have nine am practices that could help you. i think he will be very useful. the wrap on him from the left is that he has is a bob rubin centrist who cares most

we have a new governor, andrew cuomo, and he spent some time in his inaugural address and his state of the state talking about how political discourse needs to be more civil. and there was sort of a general overall positive response to that. so there is this little ripple of hope that things are going to change. and i think the president's speech might have reinforced that a bit. although it's probably far too soon to say that rip is turning into a wave. >> woodruff: and to san diego, again, to jose jimenez, is it your sense that what the president talked about when he talked about the need for more civility, to that those are just nice words or do people really believe that that can take place? >> well, i think yes, they are nice words. and i think people wanted to hear those nice words at this moment. >> and getting back to what they're telling us, they have hope for the future that perhaps his words will inspire to change but i think they're also realistic of the climate we're in and they're not expecting a miracle to happen overnight. that this might take time but they're still hop

host: governor christie says he wants to cut corporate taxes and governor cuomo in new york says he will not increase taxes. governor corporate says he will not raise taxes but governor clinton in illinois is raising taxes to try to overlook -- president -- gotquinn in illinois is raising taxesuest: . we will see what works. i cut taxes for many years. you have to relieve the regulatory burden. if you overreach, it is effectively a tax. there's a cost in doing business so you have to be careful how you raise taxes. the best antidote to these challenges now, they will have to make tough decisions and some programs should cut and others should be co main goal. i think you have to keep downward pressure on spending. you have to have more technology. i am not giving recommendations to tom corbett but you may not be seeing more public servants hired as they get the deficit under control host: we heard from the president this past week. what is the state of the union as we speak? guest: from my perspective, as the to go, i thoug it was powerful. let's make no mistake about it, this man deliver
