michael dukakis said he gave advice to the obama administration about how to stave off electoral votes he gave this advice during a recent visit to the white house. i would imagine -- >> i would imagine that the current white house is pulling what is left of their hair out wanting to keep president carter, the hopeful president dukakis and even president clinton who has a lot of reason to be out there, president clinton is campaigning for more democratic candidates right now than president obama is because he's more popular. >> greta: president bush 41 clobbered governor dukakis with all due respect, he seems like the last person you want to seek advice -- >> the last person this current white house wants to associate with. >> greta: i think the white house is being polite. [ talking over each other ] >> michael due kiss came in and said this is how you do it and giving all sorts of advice and being respectful. thinking in their head this the last guy who should be giving advice. >> i absolutely think that's true. you can't turn him away at the door. >> greta: certainly is stunning. yo

dukakis went to the white house and said we need to continue to remind the american people that president bush left the country with a rising deficit. that's what the president does everyday he's already been blaming bush. >> sean: isn't this the same guy that promised he was going to raise taxes? didn't he suggest farmers consider belgium endives? >> why not bring in al sharpton and howard dean to advise president obama? >> sean: who knows they are not there. >> that's scary. >> sean:ties are the things we are looking at on the outside. john kerry calling voters ignorant. biden complaining with whining. maybe you didn't want this hope and change because you are lethargic. >> right now they have to blame fox news and you sean hannity or the american people. the president showed that in the "rolling stone" magazine he's blaming box. >> sean: we are destructive. >> you are bad for the country. i was very surprised at that rolling stone interview one that he gave it at all. after he came down so hard on mcchrystal for giving rolling stone an interview. i thought it was interesting. i think i

it's what dukakis did. ok, damn it, class warfare. i can get 45 bank account. >> you're a mentor of the great tip o'neal. all politics is local. it's great for us to be talking about overarching themes but it's congressional district by congreional derrick. state by state senate. chris: but that's wha the democrats are hoping. don't you sense in the apology there's a wave wave against the democrats in the economy? >> there's no question. >> the tea party candidates have that class warfare thing. chris: it's an interesting time. not a great time for the democrats. when we come back, scoops and [ male announcer ] jerry brown's good old days. but what really happened? cnn -- not me -- cnn says his assertion about his tax record was "just plain wrong." jerry brown went out there and took credit for the fact that the people of california voted for proposition 13, which lowered taxes, which he opposed. and now he's going around taking credit for it. he raised taxes as governor of california. he had a surplus when he took office and a defici

planning, incredibly important. >> and you got you and scott brown under the same tent, governor dukakistisanship? about an hour here? >> [ inaudible ]. >> we appreciate your time tonight. jessica, i want to come back to you this is coming back, might have to go on the set when i get back. i don't think my wife will let me bring it to the house. >> you have one of those at home. she thinks you have one. all right. thanksso

it's what dukakis did. ok, damn it, class warfare. i can get 45 bank account. >> you're a mentor of the great tip o'neal. all politics is local. it's great for us to be talking about overarching themes but it's congressional district by congreional derrick. state by state senate. chris: but that's wha the democrats are hoping. don't you sense in the apology there's a wave wave against the democrats in the economy? >> there's no question. >> the tea party candidates have that class warfare thing. chris: it's an interesting time. not a great time for the democrats. when we come back, scoops and ♪ [ male announcer ] it's luxury with fire in its veins. bold. daring. capable of moving your soul. ♪ and that's even before you drop your foot on the pedal. ♪ the new 2011 cts coupe from cadillac. the new standard of the world. with my citi thankyou points when it happened...

due caucus -- dukakis says no. which is why no one also remembers anything from the debate. for me the word feels like that. in the air conditioned intau elect, words like absorb seem perfectly reasonable. as a response i am boycotting bounty and i suggest you do the same. if you disagree, you are a racist homophobic dyno fob. look it up. amy? >> that's it. >> just saying hi. great to see you. >> great to see you as well. poor choice of words on his part? >> you are right. he was saying, we'll move ahead no matter what. i am all about action. if the guy talks a big game. when he gets to the bedroom he is not bringing it. it is the quiet creepy guy. i would rather absorb that. >> very good. interesting way of putting it. crowder, doesn't this reveal how soul l he is. and should we impeach him in -- impeach him? >> yes, that's what we should all do. it is no surprise he would put politics ahead of national security. the bottom line, in my opinion president obama is a weak man. the first thing a weak man does is try not to seem weak. the same guy who promised he would close git

and all men are critical was put into the pledge of allegiance and michael dukakis vetoed it in the 1950's as recently as that. so there is a nonsectarian sense of gods founding of the country that exists and it's on a bipartisan basis. i don't think that one is just conservative. there's still a lot of resonance about the god-given and rights that we have among all people although i do think the liberal belief in the july operion is professor george said, more predictive of being a social conservative. i think it is an asset on balance. >> i will quickly add, i was at the glenn beck rally and it was covered as a nonpolitical event because people were expecting him as he does on his show talk about socialism or a man jones, but i think it captured really well how that sort of religion is essential tohe political mission of the tea party because what they want america to do is walk back from everything we've done since 1933 -- since 1913. you are used to this progress of reform and the new deal and welfare state, but what you need to get used to is getting rid of that and getting back to

it wasn't the bernie shaw dukakis kitty putting a a a an alarm system.nned by that. >> bill: he was. when people get stunned they tend to smile or go the other way. so i don't think there was anything built into the president's reaction that was wrong or condescending. but i thought that ms. hart had a lot of courage to do what she did. because she likes and she said it in subsequent interviews she likes him and still hopes he succeeds. but she stood up there and she was speaking for millions of americans. >> listen, she is going to continue to carry water. i would say, you know, when you are apologizing too much for somebody, you should quit apologizing. the reason you have to apologize is this guy has been inept. you owe it to him. if you respect him at all as a man to hold him accountable and quit caring water. i see people walking their vote back from obama all the time. they took an ambien and woke up outside. they are afraid they did it and won't do it again. she doesn't have to carry his water. just don't vote for him next time. >> bill: dennis mi

if you're the dukakis forget about it, jimmy carter forget it.f you win an election they run you next time. i can see mitt romney being your party nominee next time. bob dole. nixon ran five times. in other words, boehner you said it's his turn, that's so republican, to say, it's his turn. that's how you guys think. >> you know i think -- i said, i said, i think boehner thinks it's his turn. >> oh, iy. >> so we'll see what happens. >> is that -- is it romney's turn? >> you know, look it, i'm not -- i'm not in that race. we'll see. we've got good candidates too. >> but you like romney, don't you? >> sure i like romney. i like the governor from indiana. i like the governor from miss. >> i you're so regular. let me ask you, mr. speaker. mitt romney instigated, if you will, health care in massachusetts. a lot of the tea party say he started the obama thing. he was a stalking horse for socialized medicine in massachusetts. how can you run him against obama? >> look it, i'm not sure if romney's going to be the candidate. >> he's your candidate. >> well

. >> every administration since michael dukakis spend more on roads than than ministration -- the administration before. to blame it on what happened 20 or 30 years ago -- when you ran four years ago, one thing you said was that whoever is in charge on beacon hill needs to man up and take responsibility for what goes on on their watch. that is what i said at harvard. you cannot blame things on the path. -- past. >> i am not blaming anything on the path. i am talking about dealing with what you left on beacon hill. you spend twice as much time on beacon hill then i have. you spent the last 10 years improving the company with the help of state aid. >> i think you both made your points. i want to let the others in. >> we are not going to create jobs bickering back and forth. the only way we are going to create jobs is by lowering the cost of government and to make sure we are creating a real investment and paying for it as we go there. we are using tax revenue to build schools. we are not leaving it for the future generation, so 10 years from now, someone will be blaming someone else. what we have

think there are very few democratic strategists had to do it all over again with advised governor dukakist defend them to commit a rape in maryland or advise the governor to defend his veto of a bill that would have required the pledge of allegiance with its phrase under god to be set in the state's public schools. even fewer i think would have encouraged the nationwide movement for same-sex marriage to time its successful court fight in massachusetts which have been the beginning of 2004 in a manner that triggered 12 state referenda ana presidential year including a pivotal ohio. i guess all so it would not have encouraged john kerry to say in the final debate with bush with an air of visible irritation to cbs bob schieffer, that the following words about mary cheney whose name he did not mention. we're all best children, bob, and fewer to talk to dick cheney's daughter who is a lesbian to tell you she is being who she was, who she was born as. that was the most memorable line of any of the debates may be in the entire campaign and i don't think if kerry and that's blind to do over again

. >>> former democratic presidential candidate michael dukakis sharing his midterm strategy with thelost to george h.w. bush in a landslide, says democrats need to drive home the message that republicans want to return to the same policies that led to the recession. he didn't meet with president obama, but did pass the message along through his aide. >>> a cement truck plastered with anti-slogans blocked the entrance to the irish parliament as tensions mount over the debt crisis and bank bailouts. a guard narrowly escaped being hit. toxic bank, a reference to the bank, nationalized last year, and now looks to cost irish taxpayers more than $34 billion to bail it out. that bank owes $97 billion across the world. police arrested the 41-year-old man who was driving that truck. >>> those are your headlines. >> steve: i hope so. >> brian: bill o'reilly had a special guest on last night with his book on obama's wars. he was asked first off about possibly the most controversial passage to emerge from the big book and that was the president on absorbing a terrorist attack. he says america ca
