dr. bush is two decades career span of congress and u.s. department of state. he worked on the u.s. house committee on international relations, in the executive branch. he was national intelligence officer for east asia on the national intelligence council. dr. bush also remitted the united states -- represented the united states as chairman of the board and managing directer of the institute of taiwan for five years. as director of the center for asian policy studies at the brookings institutions, he focuses on u.s.-china relations, the korean peninsula, a japan's security. he is the author of "the challenge of nuclear north korea: dark clouds, just one silver lining," "a war like no other trust about china's challenge to america," and "untying the knot, making peace in the taiwan strait," and "uncharted strait, future of china-taiwan relations" to be published in the fall. thank you, dr. bush. to the immediate left is anil, president of the group in washington, d.c., part of the democrat par

very interesting, a divided society is how dr. bush talked about taiwanese politics, and i suppose you could say the same about the united states. and then we look to the prc and there's a rise of a new leadership class which is exciting, yet at the same time perhaps they are finding their way, or will find a way, and there's an undercurrent of nationalism coming up, maybe pushing from behind on the taiwanese side. it seems maybe the reproach momentum has slowed, and so there could be, and in the u.s. you have a sentiment, and i think the candidates, correct me if i'm wrong, anil, but the candidates are pursuing this tough on china lie because they are seeing it fully, that's what the american public seems to think, or at least in these 12 states. so you have this kind of anxiety/upset in both the u.s. and prc at some level about the current state of affairs. well, enough of my comments. i'd love to hear from you, and please, your observations and comments for any of the panelists. and please identify yourself. yes, please. >> i'm with

dr. david kessler, former fda commissioner in the first bush and clinton administrations.rall, he says, prescription drugs in this country are safe. >> if you get sick with a serious and life threatening disease, i'd rather be living here in the united states and have access to the drugs the fda has approved. >> still, kessler says essex irb's approval of a plan to test a drug identical to vioxx on humans shows a serious weakness in the safety net. >> those review board have a special responsibility. that is one of the important layers of consumer protection. any hole in any of those layers could mean disaster. >> the problem with the review board system, he says, is that there are no universal standards. >> there's voluntary certification but it is not required. >> months after we told the fda what we found, it sent a warning letter to essex saying it violating laws. it turns out two other serious warning letters from issued to essex dating back to 1998. essex resolved those problems with the fda. the fda has the power to shut down review board, but it never has. the agen

nicknames from president bush some revealed as he steps down from the office of management and budget. >> although my title was director of omb other titles came my way. >> dr. know. >> tight wad. budget hawk. penny pincher and some not suitable for television audienceses. >> there are critics out there who say this is a bush administration that also ballooned the national debt and some see that as a negative thing to be a part of the bush administration and to bring up the bush years in the current environment. what do you say to that? >> i was fortunate i guess to be part of some good fiscal discipline the budget that i proposed it was a balanced budget. can you believe that? 5 year balanced budget. it was hard to put it together. in 2007 the deficit was one 8th of the deficit today. it was 161 billion i would love to have those times again. unemployment was 4 and a half percent. i did leave to go home prior to the financial crisis. that's when frankly the revenues went down and spending went up. >> when you hear president obama refer to the bush years and refer to what was handed to him and the fact that it was much worse than any one projected and that

bush years. the dual wars our nation finds itself fighting. longest in our nation's history. dr.condoleezza rice, one of the architects of those conflicts. your view of the absence of that kind of conversation. >> her principal portfolio was foreign policy. she was secretary of state, deeply involved in the decisions first to go into iraq and then to go into afghanistan and the execution of those wars and it was reduced to one line in her speech at the very end about these very difficult decisions that we had to make. nothing more beyond that. more over, she came in to the public arena as an expert on russia. almost nothing about that. nothing about china. and what was so striking to me was one other line that she had. does not matter where you come from. it matters where you are going. to a lot of delegates on this floor, it does matter where president obama came from. because they've been very critical of his kenyan father who had a different faith than many of them would embrace and they've raised lots of questions about where his ultimate loyalty is. >> the first speech of th

me in the gallery of the capitol that evening was say ugandan doctor the help senior bush's at dysart ifill pepfar. dr. peter smiled and repeated chollet. as a medical professional women of the countries hardest hit by this deadly disease he knew the toll of aids. he remembered the patience he couldn't save if he had the medicine and on a cold january evening thousands of miles from home, he knew the outcome would be different for future patients. pepfar committed $15 billion over five years to prevent new infection to treat those already infected with aids and to care for children orphaned by parents that have a diet of aids. in a pediatric clinic in botswana, that your president bush and i saw firsthand the devastating toll of aids. dennett pediatric clinic, my daughter barbara and i met another that lost her little girl. she dressed her daughter like an angel in a lovely lavender and white dress to me to the american president. this precious little child lay on the examining table so frail and sick. her mother's last hope was to make her beautiful. today with access to antiretroviral that little gi

dr. john and i love action. what is one thing that the people here tonight tomorrow night to move this words president bush streams which were talked about. if you didn't hear the question what is the one thing to in this room before you go to bed tonight to advance us towards president bush's treen, our dream of 4% growth. >> one of the things in this country is a concerted real dialogue discourse about the problems we have. we really need to have a discussion you are not getting out of washington. you are going back and forth and we need to share information that is trust and honest to start of the kitchen table conversations again. >> that is one small step you can do. >> that's fabulous and i love that but i want to ask for an amendment also because 90% of the books that are what are never read. can you give a three page e-mail we can send to our friends to give a summary of the book. >> let me just ask all of you because i know that we are having microphone problems. can people in the back -- all right. not very well. we are going to bring everybody up here and get really cozy. maybe it's his microphone. >> k

dr. sachs brings this up in the book, that the average wage -- because we always hear what's happened since the past five years or it's the bushor it's -- what clinton did in the -- no. i remember and dr. sachs sort of got my mind thinking this way and you'll remember too, my parents driving around upstate new york in 1972 as a steel mills were closing down and overseas and bendeck, i remember, for some reason closing down and all these businesses closing down and jobs shipped overseas and then the opec oil embargo, i remember in '72, '73, '74 people scratching their heads saying what's happened to america? dr. sachs points out in this book the average wage for the american male has been on the decline in real terms since 1973. so we've got a debt problem, we've got a systemic problem of just massive proportions. >> i think, jeffrey will agree with me on this, that in the course of this downturn, a lot of big companies have learned to do in a way more with less. that's part of the price of this recession, is that they've learned to be more efficient in their work force, how to automate a lot more stuff, so there is a worker cr
