it is still a battle. >> eleanor? be battles ahead but romney will emerge the nominee. that has been pretty obvious since the beginning, i think. >> i love the confidence of eleanor. gabrielle? >> it's not over because this represents a real division inside the republican party between two really interesting parts and rick santorum didn't lose today the loser was gingrich because he is going on. >> because he spent a lot more money. >> there are like 74 states left, it can't possibly be over. if you added them both together i'll say it again, mitt romney will beat

in 1953, eleanor roosevelt was interviewed. among the topics covered, the u.n., foreigners' attitudes towards americans and what it means to be a liberal. >> it's time for the longine's telescope, brought to you every monday, wednesday and friday, brought to you by longenes. and wittenour. >> may i introduce our co-editor, edward p. morgan and bill dobbs, both of the cbs television news guest. with us is one of the most distinguished ladies in america live. mrs. roosevelt. >> i had dinner with man and haze wife in spokane, washington. quite sincerely asked us two questions, do these foreigners hate us as much as they seem to and are they ever going to be grateful for the things that we do for them? now you've just come back from one of your latest trips in the far parts of the world, could you answer those questions? >> i would not say that foreigners hateded us. i would say that many of them were a little suspicious everything they wanted to do, they had to ask us for our help or some of it would come from the united nations a

of course, eleanor roosevelt.t: our last caller says edith called wilson. in the meantime, let's take a look at the gop race for the presidential nomination. rick santorum defense remarks on obama. he says he has a world view that elevates the earth among man. here is the "l.a. times" story. host: us take a listen to bring santorum on "face the nation." [video clip] >> when you have a world view that elevates the earth among man and says we cannot take those resources because we're going to harm the earth by things that are frankly not scientifically proven. for example, the politicization of the whole global warming debate. it's all an attempt to centralize power to give more power to the government. it's not questioning the president's believe in christianity. i'm talking about his belief that man that should be in charge of the earth and should be good stewards of it. host: that is rick santorum on cbs's "face the nation." yesterday. robert gibbs weighed in. caller: -- [video clip] >> need to get rid of this mi

. >> eleanor? >> i think this insures the best case for romney is he gets a nomination but limps towards it. i think romney took his foot off the gasp he ignored these three -- one primary which wasn't going to yield any delegates p two caucuses. and i don't believe any delegates were awarded. the turnout was extremely low, less than 6% in missouri, less than 2% in minnesota, less 1% of the registered voters in colorado. these were states romney won four years ago. he assumed he could just walk through them. so santorum has this second surge, i guess, if you count his first surge after iowa, because of the dissatisfaction with romney, also because the social issues came galloping back into the campaign. one, the economy is looking better. so you stake your whole campaign on the economy. that's not looking so good. secondly, susan b. komen ç foundation having to back down after uprising when they wanted to cut off planned parenthood. and then the fight over contraceptives without co- payments under

i think eleanor roosevelt really reflects that period of time. she's walking a line, because at the first inaugural ball, it's during the aggressidepression, to look elegant and appropriate. that is an elegant, simple dress. you could visualize yourself in that dress. i think most people could look at the pictures of her and see that they -- this was something that they could relate to. jacqueline kennedy, this is the dress from her first state dinner. jacqueline kennedy is more shaping fashions. that really speaks to the formality of the new look and the 50s. and if you look at something like the flapper dresses, actually nancy reagan's wonderful suit. when you look at that, you know it's the 1980s. they want to be appropriate for the occasion, appropriate for their age and appropriate for the circumstance. and appropriate as a symbol of the united states. even when she's not in duty hours, she represents the united states. >> we will have two photo opportunities, the first is for the still photographers and then that will be followed by the tel

like eleanor roosevelt's dress, for example, or another dress that comes to mind, maybe? which really reflects the times? >> i think they're all pretty representative of their time period. i think eleanor roosevelt's is a beautiful simple dress that really reflects that period of time. she's walking a line, because at the first inaugural ball, it's during the depression. she has to look elegant and appropriate. that's an elegant but simple dress. you could visualize yourself in that dress. in an event to which you might be able to wear it and i think most people could look at the pictures of her and see that they could -- this was something that they could relate to. jacqueline kennedy, this is the dress from her first state dinner. this beautiful dress. jacqueline kennedy is more shaping fashions. mamie eisenhower, back here, very '50s. an amazing silhouette, but that really speaks to the formality of the, the new look and the '50s. when you look at something like the flapper dresses, actually nancy reagan's wonderful suit. an adolfo suit, and you look at that and know i

let's hear first from delegate norton, eleanor holmes norton who is a friend of mine.hank you for coming on. you were very strong today. when did you find out they were going to be an all-male -- almost like one of those cigarette hearings where all the leaders of the tobacco industry shows up. all the men there. when did you first realize this would be such a deadly visual for the guy holding these hearings? >> i realized -- i realized it this morning when i saw our business as she was there in the audience. we wanted her to be added to the panel. here we have five men sitting across the line to have one woman sitting there. apparently the committee thought would really have turned the tables on what they wanted to do because that woman would have talked about why contraceptives were important and she would have told a very poignant story. instead, they wanted to relitigate the health care law. they wanted to make this a hearing in the abstract on religious liberty when, of course there would have been no hearing in the first place, except for the controversy about re

including an interview with eleanor roosevelt at 4:45 p.m. eastern. >> i think like everything else that we started out expecting that the united nations would solve every difficulty right just by being the united nations. >> tour the white house private quarters with laura bush at 5:00 and lady byrd johnson at 8:00, nancy reagan reminisces about her husband at 8:30, and 11:30 the only first lady to run for president secretary of state hillary clinton. american history tv monday, presidents' day on c-span 3. >>> kathleen is the curator for american women's political history. when you were putting together this latest exhibit, how did you decide how the gowns would be placed? and what it would say about history and the role of these first ladies? >> well, partly based on what we thought was pretty and what hadn't been out. sometimes it's nice to be the curator. we also wanted an array of color and an array of different styles. it's not chronological. so we wanted to maximize the space in the case and really maximize the look of each style and

eleanor clift, contributing editor or newsweek.umenthal, polling editor for the huffington post. first topic is on afghanistan. should president obama have apologized for the accidental burnings of the koran that happened apparently on our base? so, 11 people have been killed in rioting since then, 19 injured and now we find out there are two dead u.s. service members because of all the violence surrounding this. president obama said "i convey my deep see thises and ask you and the people to accept my deep apologies." i actually think he should not have done that. i think that it was an accident, i think that for the president to go that far, i thought was unnecessary. what's your thoughts? >> it may have been an accident, but it still offended people and we're not talking about offending people who we don't like. we're talking about offending people we're allied with and who are fighting alongside of our soldiers in afghanistan. i think the president did the right thing. it would have -- it would be ridiculous for him to withhold

host: eleanor's volume a little bit. i'll listen and we'll try to fix her volume and then i'll get your question to her. go ahead. caller: ok. i basically have a comment. number one that president obama will be re-elected. i want to also address the hypocrisy of santorum. four years ago there was a program, 2020 -- $28 million -- $20/20" against medical malpractice. when they discovered later his wife had sued her chiropractor. now if that isn't hypocrisy to the nth degree, i don't know what is. number, two i have catholic friends i have catholic friends that use birth control. i want the pope, the bishops and the priests out of women's lives. take care of the pedophile priests, and have the catholic church worry about them more than what women do with their bodies. host: molly, before you go? do you still think the obama administration is doing enough on this issue, pushing back enough politically against rick santorum? caller: in the coming months he has to get tougher. they have to basically get down in the mud like g

. >> eleanor. >> i agree with most of what pat just said. and i would commend you for that set-up because i think there's a lot of loose talk that makes it seems like too would be very easy for israel to undermine the nuclear -- >> as they did in syria. >> right, exactly. when the best case scenario is they would probably set it back maybe three to five years, and they would inflame the ordinary people there who see nuclear possession is their god given right. they would feel that way if they were assaulted from the outside. i do think, though, that secretary panetta has probably had conversations with the israeli defense minister, and each side knows where each side stands. and i think what the israelis are gambling is that there could be a window before the election before -- before our election where this president might not be willing to stand up to the israelis, which is if he gets reelected then they know they won't get any help. i would think pat is right, that that president sees all the downsides and he understands that the sanction

the hearing this week was a matter of great asset to carolyn maloney and also eleanor holmes norton -- upset to carolyn maloney and also eleanor holmes norton. >> it is not a new thing to have a cited congressional hearing. however, it was not a stroke of genius to have all men talking about contraception that involves principally when it. they can get it over the counter any time they want. >> let's talk about the president's deal. you had a column about it on friday, charles. it is a compromise, so to speak. >> it is not a compromise, it is a fake, an accounting trick and a catholic hospital, like a catholic charity or public- school, is required by law to engage an insurer -- like a catholic charity or school, is required by law to engage an insurer that will provide contraceptives. i have no problem with contraceptives. it is not about access to contraceptives. it is can the state compel a religious organization to do something, to engage an insurer was required by law to provide something that is against the doctrine of that church? the answer is nothing has changed in a moral ce

. >> eleanor?> gingrich was a backbencher during the reagan years and more of a thorn in their side. but there is a video clip of nancy reagan in 1995, after gingrich had led the republicans to power in washington, saying the torch has been passed from ronnie to newt. so he has some claims on that era. but that's not -- that's not his problem, is he reagan enough. he's been promiscuous throughout his career so he can get hit from the left, from the middle, from every side. and republican establishment and conservatives have landed on him, and i must say period t featured in the he isup, newt wasn't the only conservative who thought reagan wasn't being tough enough, wasn't funding the contras enough. that was not an unusual position for a true conservative to hold at that time. >> meanwhile, reagan was working closely with tip o'neill in the house leadership -- remember that's days? >> yes. >> the question is, who is more reaganite, newt or mitt romney. >> it's not even a close question. was newt ex
