the fdr memorial has four rooms, one for each of his terms in office.hen he became president in 1933, our country was suffering the worst financial crisis in our history -- the great depression. statues of soup lines and dust bowl farmers illustrate those hard times. but why the man listening to a radio? >> there was no television then. how did you communicate? the president communicated via radio. >> fdr's way with words gave people hope in those dark days of the depression. carved on the memorial's walls are some of his most famous quotes. for example, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." >> if you give time and you really soak in and pay attention to what is being said in those statements, they're very powerful statements. >> something else that makes a very powerful statement is the memorial's use of water. what does the water symbolize? >> water symbolizes freedom. water symbolizes movement. part of what also is trying to be symbolized there is the fact that we, as a country, moved forward, and that movement is very much a part of the e

fdr, too.s the direction, i think, by mobilizing his base that he might be able to go. >> i watched the lincoln movie, you saw a very different kind of atmosphere in congress, amongst the representatives of the american people, there were people that prepared to go against their party line because of moral and personal principle. i don't see a lot of that going on these days. we need to get back to that? >> well, remember, a point of history is to remind us our own times aren't uniquely oppressive. lincoln may have had more of that advantage, half the country, after all, had just bolted and formed the confederacy. it wasn't very happy times for lincoln. but it is inspiring that this particular inauguration is the 150th of the emancipation proclamation. and doris' book is just really influenced thf president more than i think any other book of our time "team of rivals." he references it. his first term in many ways, bringing hillary clinton and others in was part of it. but in the second term, p

that's, of course, when fdr told a nervous populace we've got nothing to fear but fear itself and during an 1801 inaugural

host: looking back, fdr broke the unwritten code of serving more than two terms. wetoday's modern age, could have more than two terms for any president? you worked for ronald reagan. if his health was better, of third term? guest: i doubt it. he talked about it after he left office. he was going to campaign for appeal of that amendment. he thought the american people should be able to vote for anyone wanted to vote for. it is very difficult to imagine after eight years of office -- we've used up our presidents. that is why this string of two- term presidents is really so unusual. we have a string of one-term presidencies before that. that became the norm. host: let me share with ronald reagan said in january of 1987. his state of the union address. [video clip] >> i have one major regret. i took a risk with our action in regards to iran. it did not work. for that, i accept full responsibility. the goals were worthy. it was not wrong to try to save lives. certainly, it was not wrong to try to secure freedom for our citizens held in barbaric captivity. [applause] bu

two historians. >> i would argue fdr too. >> other than fdr. >> no, no, no. very important.e talk about court packing but he mobilized the country before pearl harbor for world war ii. he gave aid to england. he got a peace-time draft, much more important than the court-packing failure. ronald reagan, he gets negotiations with the soviet union, he gets the tax reform act, more important perhaps than the iran contra scandal. we love the curse thing, but there's the opportunity thing. >> and there is this sense will we know in the next six months how the budget deal goes on the president's legacy? >> yeah. >> the success is it all in the second term? >> a very important precondition for the second term. we three enormous triggering events, dare i say it -- sequester, cr and -- >> he went cr, too. budgeting. >> those things. and the president has got an opportunity here, if he can find some common ground with the republicans on the spending front, then i think some of these other things become possible. if he doesn't, then it's going to consume, i think, most of the second term

fdr was actually on a cruise. i guess we can't really blame him, it was probably a pretty well-deserved vacation. but three years earlier fdr had refused to include medical coverage as part of the social security act because he did not want to an tagtize the american medical profession. he did send a message of support to the health conference, but not long afterward the outbreak of world war ii forced the president's attention elsewhere. five years later on january 11, 944, in his state of the union address roosevelt spoke to the american people about the war and especially about the kind of peace the allies planned to establish after the defeat of fascism. he said that the one supreme objective for the future can be summed up in one word: security. and that means not only physical security which provides safety from attacks by aggressors, it means also economic security and social security. the individual political rights upon which the united states had been built, roosevelt argued, were necessary but not suffi

other transformational democratic presidents such as fdr and lbj, rockman says, have substantial democratic majorities in both the senate and in the house to enact their landmark legislation. obama in contrast has had to work with a narrow democratic majority in the senate and with an opposition party, the republicans in control of the house for the two years since january 2011. well, what about ronald reagan? president of the united states two successful four-year terms. on the domestic front, he enacted a major economic recovery package followed by an overhaul of social security. and in his second term, reagan gained a major tax reform. on the defense front, republican president reagan again with the help of the rity presided over a major increase in the defense budget, congress presided over a major increase in the defense budget, the defe including straby millions of protesters here and abroad. also commander in chief reagan gained secret aid for freedom fighters in central america, the quote unquote contras. in his second term reagan negotiated a nuclear arms control treaty with our th

fdr got four separate terms and mr.ts two. >> wendall, the oath is short, 80 words in length and now breakfast, it was intriguing what you said in the out set. sonya sotomayer has a book signing. >> she has a book signing at noon in new york accord toth book store. we are trying to confirm why it was held this early. you couldn't be both places at once. the constitution doesn't stipulate a time as it does for the president. the president must be sworn in at noon. we'll see you back here for that. chris wallace is in the washington news room. this morning on fox news sunday. chris? >> this week on fox news sunday, president obama begins his second term facing tough challenges at home and over seas. how will the president pursue his agenda and place in history. we'll ask two men. david plouffe, and then tough talk about gun control, we'll ask our sunday panel if congress will pass the president's plan to prevent more mass shootings all this week on fox news sunday. >> we look forward to that on the fox news network. i wil

starting in 1922 which fdr had polio she was the political surrogate. she represented him on numerous occasions. she headed the democratic national committee, she was very instrumental in many of the reforms that was the deal. but frank lynn had an affair with hillary's private assistant world war i when she found out about that, she wanted a divorce. that was the end of their marital relationship. their political relationship remained intacted but never became intimate people again. the reason why it's different is they had carved out distinctive roles. they were important roles el nor was an extraordinary first lady but it was not something which was a product of their personal chemistry. and the ongoing intimate relationship. yeah? >> if hillary is a bridge builder, yes. >> what happened with the health care and what would she have done differently if she would do it today? >> i think she would have done differently she would made the comprise and got, the bill passed. why did all of that happen? i think it happened because both in arkansas and washi

how did president obama higher than any incumbents seeking reelection since fdr win 332 votes, sweep eight of the 9 battleground states and even have his party pick up senate seats to get to 55? they look ahead to 2016. there are four lessons that 2016 hopefuls from both parties might want to keep in mind. don't define yourself, your opponent will do it for you. romney met the president's personal attacks go largely unanswered. his campaign argued after you'd that they had to choose how to spend what was limited funds. in the end, obama beat romney by ten points. on the economic question, which candidate is more in touch with people like you. romney, the first republican nominee in the history of our "wall street journal" poll to go into its convention with this personal rating under water. just 47% of voters viewing him positively. there were also able to get more bang for their buck because they bought ads early and were very careful about where to buy the ads. they paid $550 for a single ad in raleigh, north carolina. they had to show at $2,665 for the same spot. the obama campaig

what if we found out about fdr's this behavior. what if we threw fdr out of office and demanded his resignation as the economy was recovering? all the way back to the french and indian war of very young george washington was riding very romantic letters to a woman who was not mrs. washington. her name was salutary bear facts to my very attractive, older, sophisticated never. what if washington's letters have become public during the french and indian war or the revolutionary war? much as the traces e-mails became public. what if we get rid of george washington? so girlfriend is not the worst. patraeus is not the first and not the worst. been there, done that. there's a long history of it. in fact and it pains me to say that even abraham lincoln visited a prostitute. i know. citizens so. it happened. the details on the sketchy. there is a lot of -- there aren't a lot of letters written about this, but here's what we can piece together. lincoln's best friend was joshua stevens. and he was, perhaps, as dashing in this handsome and bes

fdr's second inaugural, the wettest on record.s. >> fdr decided if the crowd could brave the elements so could he. >> reporter: he insisted on riding in an open car. >> i harry s. truman do solemnly swear. >> you will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states. >> reporter: a tv first for harry truman, january 1949. americans could finally watch the inauguration on television. these were the preps more than 50 years ago for dwight eisenhower, giant platforms for a mere 12,000 invited guests. there were four inaugural balls awaiting them. lyndon johnson made history, after one of the darkest days in america, the first president to ride to his inaugural in a bulletproof limo after the assassination of jfk. ronald reagan, second inaugural, so cold, only snow filled the stands. the public swearing-in ceremony, moved indoors. bill clinton ushering more than just a second term. the first to be carried on that thing called the internet. and on monday, president obama with the first lady by his side again, after alrea

as many oaths since fdr, he was elected four times. the challenge for president obama this time is to recapture the energy and enthusiasm of four years ago when a record 1.8 million people descended on washington to witness the history-making swearing-in of the nation's first african american president. nobody expects a crowd that big again. this time, the president will have his hand on two bibles. abraham lincoln's and martin luther king's. in a video released by the white house, the president explained why. >> letting them know there's a connection between me being here and the sacrifices of those in the past, which i think is entirely fitting. >> the man who ran obama's re-election campaign says the president will use his big speech tomorrow, in part, to reach out to some of those who voted against him. >> you'll see a president who wants to work across party lines to get things done. i think that's what the country wants. >> reporter: after today's oath was complete, the president's 11-year-old daughter was happy to see dad got th

remember, though, fdr was sworn in four times because he served four terms.sort of flubbed a line in the oath, the word faithfully. and the president kind of stumbled in response. and then the next day he went to the white house and out of an abundance of caution, the white house said he did the oath again. so that was two. and then because the inauguration day, as dictated by the constitution falls on a sunday, they have the inaugural ceremony on the monday. so that's four times. >> yeah. >> that's a lot of oaths. >> and they like it. they're cheering for that. and they're cheering for you, brianna. it's always such a pleasure to work with you. >> nice to be with you. >> yeah, it's great. remember last time we were freezing four years ago. >> i think it's going to be cold monday. i've got my long johns ready. >> yeah, this is our service today. this is our -- we did our service today. but today is a national day of service. have you done your part yet? there is still time. more ahead here on cnn. i need you. i feel so alone. but you're not alone. i knew you'

i mean ronald reagan built an electoral base that lasted for decades so did fdr.was able to have a democrat follow him four years from now then maybe the idea that government can be hipful to people, go back to what bob carry said that whole idea what we can do with collective action has returned because we've spent a couple decades with 9 idea that government was the enemy. that would be a big shift if that's possible. the only other thing i would say i think he needs to think about the economy even if it's beginning to recover there's still a problem for the manufacturing base not being here, for are kids not being trained correctly, for getting more jobs that are really good jobs for people here. there's a lot of ideas that have been put forth but they need to be focused in a certain way, the idea if you work hard you really can get ahead in this country just like people did in the old days. >> rose: i want to come back to that. michael. >> there are all sorts of reasons for optimism but since we're talking about history, one cautionary note. lbj at the beginni

fdr had a little bit of this king complex also.had to limit fdr finally because he served so many terms that i think he would have ruled in perpetuity. >> we had to limit fdr finally because he would have had to rule in perpetuity. mr. paul in his rush to insult the current president seems not to remember that at the beginning of april 1945 president roosevelt was actually preparing to attend the founding conference of the united nations. on april the 12th, he felt a terrible pain in the back of his head, suffered a stroke, and died. he was 61 and he was still president. and while the senator from kentucky clearly has little time for president roosevelt, listen to what churchill said just five days after his american friend and ally had passed away. his love for his own country, his respect for its constitution were always evident, but added to these were the beatings of that generous heart which was always stirred to anger and to action by spectacles of aggression and oppression by the strong against the weak. that is precisely wh

fdr, t are managed to internationalize it. the story of america is always the unfolding, always provision, but by and large we have unlucky in flawed human beings who have managed to transcend their flaws may be just for 15 minutes sometimes but those are important 15 minutes. i will leave you with this. jefferson was driven by this idea that the life of the mind and life of the country were inextricably linked and the purpose of humanity was to discover, innovate, to learn everything we could because there were so many mysteries to unlock. he put the artifacts on the lewis and clark expedition and bones from pike in a room in the white house and invited people to come in and put two grisly cubs on the white house lawn. that did not work out as well. that would cut against the bipartisan thing depending on who's a mall. discovery, innovation, tomorrow can be better than today. this is not just happy talk. in letter after a ladder, storm and strife and times of tumult and crisis jefferson returned to that theme again and again

bill murray is spectacular as fdr.ved for decades. there's one little thing about this movie though. he was in a relationship with his distant cousin and that's what the movie kind of touches on. so it gets pretty crazy, and i was not prepared to see the great fdr in certain compromising positions. that's really throwing some people off. >> is it bill murray playing fdr, or is it a real fdr-like role? >> i think he's amazing. i think that he re-creates fdr in a time when daniel day-lewis is getting so many accolades for "lincoln." we should be talking about bill murray, as well. he's extraordinary. >> high praise. so what's it getting on the tomato meeter? >> well, i personally loved this movie because it took larger than live figures and made them very normal and accessible. critics aren't agreeing with me. it's 40% rotten right now. >> oh, that's not very good. >> i know, too shock i guess. >> who do you predict will be the best actor and best actress? >> i think it's going to be difficult as always to beat daniel da

fdr had a little bit of this king complex also.had to limit fdr finally because he served so many terms that i think he would have ruled in perpetuity. >> we had to limit fdr finally because he would have had to rule in perpetuity. mr. paul in his rush to insult the current president seems not to remember that at the beginning of

the only president since fdr who has taken the oath four times. but fdr served four terms. >> he'll do it again tomorrow. >> little bit of insight the president and the white house were concerned when the health care ruling went before john roberts because maybe a little tension after the oath redo and maybe he would hold it against them, anyway, it worked out in their favor. >> coming up later this hour. kate, this is an exciting moment for all of us who love history. >> very exciting moment and it's beautiful, it's really amazing to see the structures they erected before us as well as on the mall. president obama was joined by vice president biden in arlington national cemetery to lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknowns. after the vice president had taken his oath in a ceremony this morning at his residence at the naval observatory. one thing that stuck out to me watching that, how big that bible was. it was five inches thick. it's been in his family for many, many years. >> anderson, we're getting excited over here at the white house. what is

they were very anti-fdr. most underrated and broadcast to, talk radio were very pro-new deal, very pro-fdr. we kind of have the opposite today. but yeah, it's come it became sort of a domain for the rights and the late '80s with rush limbaugh. he got his national show in 1980. and then it grew from there. during the clinton administration proud one of the best things happen for talk we're in a sense it gave lots of material and continued on to it actually grew during the bushes we go all out with folks that thought what will happen to talk

this is a tradition started by fdr, coming here to st.ohn's on inauguration day, but it was james madison who first started attending services at this church, and he chose a pew not at the front of the church, but in the middle of the congregation, and that is where you will see the obamas sitting here today during this pretty short and sweet church service, we're told. it should be a normal prayer service. the second family will be here as well. and there are a number of people in the congregation who are ticket holders. st. john's is also significant because the pastor here, luis leo leoo leon, will be delivering the ben diction later today. he wasn't the first pick. the first pick was louis giglio, an evangelical minister who withdrew after it came to light he gave an anti-gay sermon years ago. president obama recently changed his mind to support same-sex marriage and the episcopal church is more in line with that. as you know, they have gay pastors. >> thank you, brianna. we're going to be watching the president in roughly 30 minutes
