bush? >> guest: i don't know. i wrote a book five years ago predicting that george w. bush spending would iraq the republican majority and was going to cripple the u.s. economy. >> host: did they get mad at you? >> guest: omega- i.d.'s. i can't writing about in 2006 and expanded it to iraq "the washington post" asked me to ride the op-ed to give suggestions to republican congressman how do stay in power? you have to tell the truth about your president that he is spending and it will cause a meltdown economically and then he has done everything wrong in iraq and we need to send more troops and narrow the mission. they got so angry with me that the white house when the governor asked me to go speak at an event the white house said if they let me speak they would pull all support for this governor if the state was not big enough for both george w. bush and joe scarborough ied have more concerns but sure enough the republicans lost, lost control. at that point* george w. bush had his moment where he did what i was suggesting he did more for iraq and then started to criticiz

george w. bush, tom delay, guys with texas twang. >> host: what's wrong with that? >> guest: well, ronald reagan and barack obama have both been able to find the middle of american political life and maybe it's a will midwestern sensibilities. i'm not exactly sure what it is, but we just can't be confined in the south. why did ronald reagan of and so many people in europe? because at the time even though he was right and was proven right and i think he freed about 100 billion europeans there was that cowboys wider that scared him. even reagan, i never saw that, but george w. bush had that swagger. the same with delay and it just doesn't translate well in new england. >> host: let's get to the book i have a million questions. let me preface with this. when you were a young one coming up, when you were a young man living in florida, at some point he became political. you made the decision to be a conservative, you made the decision to be a republican or you started thinking of yourself as a conservati

listen to this quote by george w. bush and this is what george w. bush said in 2000. >> host: you keep looking at and it i will cover with these words. seems to me -- i have found the years 2001-2009 intensely painful politically as a conservative because i feel a great coalition and a great movement fractured, dropped like a pane of glass and splintered by people who had not built that coalition i saw the guys who built it in the '60s, '70s, and '80s, i saul how hard it was to bring it together. itsit broke my heart to see it broken and it broke my heart to see that you were not allowed to say that it was breaking. >> guest: right. >> host: it was a terrible lie. >> guest: i know. and let me read. this is george w. bush in 2000. we must be judicious in our use of the military. we will fight only when it's in the vital interests of the united states, when our mission is clear, and when the exit strategy is obvious. >> host: that's the old republican playbook. >> guest: that's what we said every day to the clinton people that would come down the armed

george bush has left. he's gone back to texas to write his memoires. dick cheney has unusually for a vice president stuck around. he's playing rear guard. >> i think in a sense both bush and cheney are thinking about their legacies and the history writing that east taking place right now. and they're aiming for somewhat different histories to be written. and that's what's going to be the fascinating thing to study and to have a better understanding of that period in our history. chris: this the ladder days, the president dodged the question of scooter libby. he never got into the issue of purmry or obstruction of justice. >> what he showed is restraint. and that's probably is prudent. one of the things i wondered in the way that it outlines how the president conducted his own investigation asked the right questions and asked a lot of questions. i coldn't help be wonder if he would have shown the same juris prudence in the lead-up to the iraq war. chris: do you think cheney would keep quiet from now on? >> i think the relationship is quiet. the relations

$90,000. >> how much was it when george bush was president? e year barack obama quadrupled the deficit and he spent more money and created more debt and every president from washington through and including bush. >> and he had a huge economic crisis. the entire industry's for going on. you cannot compare what george bush inherited compared to obama. >> 13% interest rates, stagflation. >> was the entire financial system collapsing? >> the air plants could not fly and the ships could not sail. you had a disastrous deficit. reagan turned it around. he know how he did it, he did it with tax cuts. >> tax cuts would have saved the financial system. >> the president is conceding that the stimulus has not worked and wait until next month, they will be talking about a second stimulus. we will have it. sean:

. >> i'm thinking you're thinking george bush gets the credit for this, don't you. >> george bush gets every ounce of credit. >> we're being ironic. >> we're being very ironic. whoever's in charge gets the credit or blame. if things are going wrong, be the first to blame obama and things going great, president obama and democrats in charge of congress should get the credit. >> are things going right? >> they're going right in other places and not others. i'm not as upbeat as you are, the long term prospects but concerned about the risks a lot of financial players in wall street are taking. in general, yes, things are moving in a much better direction than they were back when george bush was president. >> joe, do you think things are getting better and second of all, is it all because of bam? >> if things are getting better, maybe because the market likes center. no doubt about it, our taxes are going up. that's what the american public voted for and he's doing it. more taxes that will cost you more for everything including health insurance. >> that's a centrtainty. >> obama will get th

george h. w. bush was able to build a large coalition to liberate kuwait. george w. bush was unable to build a coalition to invade iraq, so we started to make fun of the french. host: do you have a question? caller: yes, i do. we used to say politics and at the water's edge, today we have so much criticism of our president trying to repair the damage that george debut bush had with cowboy -- george w. bush had with cowboy diplomacy. but we lived in such a global world now, we cannot have it both ways. guest: there was a lot in there. a couple of points that i should respond to. in world war ii, i do not believe that it was up to churchill and roosevelt to start the two front war. the soviet union, at that point, was not a particularly appealing partner, but they were available, which is why churchill and fdr agreed to the alliance. almost as soon as it happened, the soviet union prime large chunks of central and eastern europe, and refused to leave after the war. that created the iron curtain which separated europe into two portions. one which was free, that was under

king had his appval ratg at the same level as george w. bush's when heeft the white house. weelebrate kingnd this iconic figure 40 years lat, 41 yrs almost. but he dies on that balcony in memphis with the same aroval rating tt george w. bush lef the whi house. that's how low m.l.k.'s approval rating because of his opposition ofhe vietnam war. i asked you becau you were outocally opped to the war as dr. king. had youavigated that moment wherpeople thought you were cry, thought you were insane, thought you were as wrong as king was for being so violence -- s vocal in your opposition to the vietnam war? >> wl, i startedarly. i went o -- i created a march, ihink, in early 1960' before itas even official, e war in vietnam. -to-were already out again itefore it was official. >> we had advisors over there. and i thoht well, wehould get in this. i di look like a goofy hippie. i was in carel not plac ere you had a lotf marches. and some frien and iade some signs. from then o -- actually i w dubbed a communisthen i did my own demonstraon in high school because they were gng to haven a

this is pure pandering on the part of biden but george bush did it. he said we need to spend our way out of the problem. that started the housing boom and bust. pat buchanan said it. there is no small government party left in washington, no one protecting our pocketbook. all the ways to get out of bad except the one we are doing is not just borrowing, we should call it stealing from our children. david: steve buchanan also said we are on the road to socialism. are we? >> if they had their way we would be. the irony on the terms of president obama is if congress rejects his program he will survive politically. if he gets his way he will be destroyed because he will destroy the economy. in terms of mike calling the spending investment that is straight from george orwell calling horse welfare. maybe it is good for horsing. they have 535 of them with the wrong end it congress. david: let's here what nathan has to say. >> there's a lot of investment spending, wall street, tarp, stimulus. there's a ton of infrastructure in there. you are going to find screw

but he dies on that balcony in memphis with the same approval rating that george w. busheft the white house. that's how low m.l.k.'s approval rating because of his opposition of the vietnam war. i asked you because you were out vocally opposed to the war as dr. king. had you navigated that moment where people thought you were crazy, thought you were insane, thought you were as wrong as king was for being so violence -- so vocal in your opposition to the vietnam war? >> well, i started early. i went on -- i created a march, i think, in early 1960's before it was even official, the war in vietnam. -to-orwere already out against it before it was official. >> we had advisors over there. and i thought well, we should get in this. i did look like a goofy hippie. i was in caramel not a place where you had a lot of marches. and some friends and i made some signs. from then on -- actually i was dubbed a communist when i did my own demonstration in high school because they were going to have an air raid drill. and when the air raid drill happened, we were all supposed to go home an

still important to note that regarding as a strong leader, he is still 13 points ahead of where george w. bush is and asked whether he inspires confidence, he is still about 17 points ahead of where george w. bush was. it is an enormous agenda in the white house. these numbers could be threatening in the fall when really tough decisions have to be made. if you see steady erosion over the next few weeks lead into the big fall decisions, it could make tay lit a lot tougher to gs initiatives. >> american people love him individually. as a person, 79% approve of the president of the united states. that's capital he needs to use if he wants health care reform and enjergy reform to go throug. >> he offered the american public a deal. you accept more debt. i'll deliver more jobs. the debt is coming on a cataclysmic scale. the jobs are not showing up. there is a little bit of good jobs, a slowdown in the rate of loss of jobs. this is a very tough economy. the debt is a fact in the president's recovery plans are all theory. >> if he goes up in unemployment 10%, some states like california and michigan,

. >> your website, imagine if george bush or another white president was still in office. this question wouldn't have been asked at a press conference, so having the first african-american president and this issue brought up a whole dynamic of this country we wouldn't have seen if this were george bush. >> you're right. i was really surprised watching that press conference last night that president obama went so deep into this issue. he we want detail by detail into the incident and i was surprised about that. we don't know, but this would have probably brushed over if he hasn't mentioned it. but now, we have a full, a whole another cycle. >> and the irony is that if it had been a prominent white person who had been arrested and the president had decided not to comment, then they might have criticized president obama, how dare you not condemn this. david wilson -- thanks, david. and again, you know, tamron, i do think that we don't know exactly maybe what happened, but we do know that if people are presented with a set of circumstances, a random person arrested inside thei

. >> george bush did it. >> george bush did it in 2000. barack obama ran from the senate. >> the rules have changed and the amount of money you have to raise, you have to be out in the country raising it. >> think about mitch daniels, one thing to understand his opponents in 2006 and very bad years for republicans and not in southern republican conservative states. >> right. >> don't we have, don't republicans need somebody from the north, not another southern candidate? >> republicans have a two-fold problem. they need a leader. they need someone who can articulate an alternative how we can get out. but two, they need someone with a sort of star wattage to match barack obama. >> that's hard. >> it is a tough road. a very tough road to hoe, but that's the dilemma that the republicans face right now. it's two-fold. >> look, i mean, if you're talking about a celebrity, there aren't very many of those that come around. can't you just have somebody who says that's beginning to suggest, look, i've governed well and i've dealt with principles an

if you take a look at the total debt buildup from george washington to the end of george bush, add it all up, obama has exceeded those numbers. it is unsustainable. >> is that true? >> it is the number one thing on american's minds, the economy, the debt, the jobs, deficit. >> is that true? >> it is only true if you ignore the fact that -- if it was eight years of george bush that got us into this financial crisis where, yes, the pretreasury secretary paulson and geithner had to do all this bailout through the banks that we had no choice, if you want to count that, yeah, he has run up the deficit. that is not really quite fair. >> i want to leave it at that. when we come back, real americans asking real questions of both of you about their particular situation. interestingly enough, we have chosen people who share a situation with many other americans. things like small business administrator who simply can't afford to pick up the debt of having to pay everybody else's insurance and vice versa. you will have this conversation with you, all six of us, when we come back. stay right ther

doubled under george bush? we know that president obama came into office with a deficit this fiscal year $1 trillion. in the last recession it took 24 months before the jobs came back and in 1991, 32 months. we've had a very serious credit problem. what president obama was trying to do and continues to do is to try to get the credit market unfrozen and to get manufacturing jobs moving again because that's where we've lost many of these jobs. the service industries are coming back, but the manufacturing sector still is lagging. we need to give the president time to get these policies to work right. >> he's going to get the time. the bottom line is does he have the solutions? i think the problem is he's got a bunch of wall street bangers around here, many of whom that got president bush in some of the problems he was in. we haven't solved the mortgage problem. people lose their homes day by day. general motors, chrysler are not better than they were. the end of the day no funds for a new highway bill that creates

$90,000. >> how much was it when george bush was president? one year barack obama quadrupled the deficit and he spent more money and created more debt and every president from washington through and including bush. >> and he had a huge economic reagan did it with tax cuts. >> and now our president is conceding that the stimulus does not work. wait until next month, they will talk about a second stimulus. sean: the democratic party has overreached. they will pay a political price.

for the last eight years, we have been in a position of strength with george bush?we have not. saying we will not attack our country. >> it has been a huge mistake. the idea of pushing nato toward russia, missile defense, it just makes no sense in terms of what we're trying to do with russia. to put that on hold is as smart diplomatic moves. we need a little bit more subtle diplomacy right now -- is a smart diplomatic move. i lived there. i know a lot about the soviet union and russia. if we are trying to work with iran and afghanistan, we need to focus on what they need from us. >> no, we need to focus on our national security. they are this close to getting a nuclear weapon, and you see north korea firing missiles across the world. >> our national interests to gain an ally in that would -- to help china. sean: let me point out one thing. one of the things that really defined the reagan presidency and helped to bring an end to the cold war is that reagan called the soviets and evil empire. -- an e3vivil empire. he said, "tear down this wall," and he made the world

president obama and vice- president joe biden is not president george bush. >> that's right, george bushe here in 2005, to tbilisi. he declared georgette a beacon of liberty. i think many georgians never really forgotten that. that is why saakashvili, the president, is trying to make sure that he capitalizes on the american support he is getting now. although it is not barack obama, it is, nevertheless, extremely important for georgia to try to make the most of every bit of support it can get from the united states. but that said, i think joe biden has been clear that any support it does offer will come at a price, and that is further democratization. georgia is seen as a fledgling democracy by many and i think the united states wants to see further electorial reforms, electoral and judicial reforms that america feels as not been acted on in enough capacity as yet. >> we will see what the georgians get out of him. thank you so much. you see the live pictures now and any moment now he will be arriving. you can follow what online, bbc.com/news. let us take a look at the rest of the main ne

it was a complete obliteration of the policies of george bush.wiped the slate -- he wiped the slate clean. particularly on torture. tavis: and there are those who argue that president obama has not gone far enough on the torture issue. your thoughts? >> i think it is a slippery slope. it is interesting, if anybody understands this, it is barack obama. he taught constitutional law. in dealing with the prisoners in guantanamo, they are really talking about possibly keeping an open, holding them forever, detention indefinitely without trial. and if barack obama does that, i think he will start to make some of the same mistakes bush had. tavis: for those who have not been following this case like you have, what is the status now with specific regard to guantanamo? >> torture has been abolished by obama. we are now observing the loss, the geneva convention. -- we are now observing the law is, at the geneva convention. that has been done. the problem is, obama got left with this population of prisoners in guantanamo whose rights were so violated by the

i think in the case of obama -- in george bush case, it was not huge.hey beat up on him personally as well as in politics -- in george bush's case. they are enamored with him. even though his numbers, still, his popularity numbers are very high, his job approval numbers in a lot of such areas are starting to tank, and the house, i have got to tell me. these guys in the house have got to be sweating. they have been put through the ringer on cap and trade. now, they are going to be asked about -- through the wringer on cap and trade. this ship is starting to take on water. >çgreta: a lot are voting on health care, it 1000-page bill, having never read it. -- a 1000 page bill. if you are going to vote on it, read it. >> they are going to try to take these three committee bills and melsom"ujt)q) so they will be forced to gather into a plane -- and meld them together so they will be forced together into a plan. greta: they expect they will read the bill. >> no. this is so complex. the size and scale of what they are trying to do is mind- boggling. greta: do

i never looked at george bush's favorable number. i am working with the sky. it is job approval number is down, my number is going to be effected on election day. greta: how bad can that gap be? >> it can be huge. in the case of obama, the media beat up on him personally as well as his politics for bush. obama is a very likable guy. the public does like him. they are enamored with him as a star status. even though his popularity numbers are still very high, his job approval numbers on a lot of subject areas are starting to take. -- tank. the guys in the house have to be sweating. they have been put through the wringer once on the stimulus. twice on capt. trade. now big -- twice cawnpore cap and tra de. g -- trade. greta: i think the taxpayers are saying, if you are going to g vote, read it. >> they are forcing them into a plan which i guarantee number of the house will have read this. greta: we did a poll. most people expect they will read the bill. >> know. this is so complex. the scale of what they are trying to do is mind-boggling. greta: it is incomprehens

it is going to the areas of greatest need so that the historical pattern -- why did george bush sent money to these same counties? we look at competitive states in 2010. illinois, where they might both be going to prison, the democratic governor and senator. that is where money is going. michigan, new mexico, senators and governors are competitive. missouri. you have a real pattern here. >> i've got a question for you. hold on a second. i have a real cause and effect question here. the government bailed out the united autoworkers union, made good their pensions for a million retired uaw workers. that was because michigan, ohio, indiana went to president obama in the election. it was a straight cause and effect, the handout of billions of dollars to the union. what do you say? >> that is not what is in the story. the story is money going county- by-county. no one answered my question as to why george bush sent more money to these counties under the same formula as obama. the autoworkers' industry is a separate issue. it is not what was reported in this story. that is a separate questi

farce cull about the story, going out to washington, thinking they were in some way preventing george bush from going to war, and in fact by their very presence in the whitehouse, encouraging him and enabling him to go to war. now i know you pull your hair out at that or you scream or you say that's a farce, that's a total absurd sad events. >> charlie: a program note. our conversation with ross douphat, the new york sometimes columnist will be seen next week. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> charlie: we begin tonight with a conversation about race in america. in the aftermath of an incident between a harvard professor and a cambridge massachusetts police officer. the controversy over the arrest of henry louis gates a prominent african american professor. added to the controversy is criticizing the cambridge police officer. >> recently henry gates, jr. was arrested at his home in cambridge. what does that say to you and about race relations in america? >> well, i should say at the outset that skip gates is a friend. so

i forgot, george bush left this administration with a cadillac that barack obama just trashed.orry. >> are you kidding me? that's what he's delivering. >> 95% of working americans, he did that, he cut their taxes. >> that's not what we're talking about, what i'm trying to get you guys to talk about, if you would listen is this attention deficit disorder, for example, julie, today all week long we should have had national news coverage on the health care overhaul because it is falters and obama in danger of failing, he ends up focusing the nation's attention on the arrest of the harvard african-american professor and it's on the "nightly news" and he won't shut up and has to apologize for it. >> would you tell -- he was asked a question at the press conference and gave an answer and the press decided to run with it. >> guys, we have to cut to california for a minute, california state senate approving the budget plan today, we have to go out to lawmakers in the lower house have agrimt agrimt -- agreement to do the same. john harwood is there and talked to arnold schwarzenegger ab

george bush tried. he wanted to go after social security. he wasn't successful the >> why having to rush this through? the waters are pretty murky and americans don't want to tip their toe in because they're afraid it's going to be much worse than they're dealing with now. and what's the rush? sean: the rush is obama -- look, rahm emanuel, the chicago way that he leads, he's not politically naive. i think he understandses that if they don't get this done and get this done quickly, especially if unemployment is headed for double digits, their political capital is gone and they're not going to be able to pass this. >> and the american public knows you don't need a government takeover to be able to deal with some of the real issues. we do have to have some health care reform in the country but we can do it without undoing the best health care system in the world. >> there's something next year calendar -- called an election that's going to make things -- sean: oh, really? >> yeah. the closer you get to that election the -- election the more con

he has had four of these primetime news conference, as many as george w. bush had in two administrations. how were the ratings? >> ratings have dropped. this one down 14% from the last and that was down from the previous one before that so, what he does with these he tries to talk over the heads of the reporters and go straight to the voters this is such a morass, this health care reform issue. the interesting thing that came out of that press conference is now he's calling it health insurance reform. which, i think is more relevant to most of us. because we are fine with our health care, it is our insurance we don't like that was the only moving of the needle we saw. >> she used the word morass jim, which brings me back to my point. are the press doing a good job of explaining -- >> one doesn't think so is a radio analyst in d.c., veteran d.c. political observer. he's no conservative and he said they are not journalists they enablers. they are enabling obama to [ inaudible ] obama has outsmarted himself. they spend all their time focus grouping every word he s

george h. w. bush was able to build a large coalition to liberate kuwait. george w. sh was unable to build a coalition to invade iraq, so we started to make fun of the french. host: do you have a question? caller: yes, i do. we used to say politics and at the water's edge, today we have so much criticism of our president trying to repair the damage that george debut bush had with cowboy -- george w. bush had with cowboy diplomacy. but we lived in such a global world now, we cannot have it both ways. guest: there was a lot in there. a couple of points that i should respond to. in world war ii, i do not believe that it was up to churchill and roosevelt to start the two front war. the soviet union, at that point, was not a particularly appealing partner, but they were available, which is why churchill and fdr agreed to the alliance. almost as soon as it happened, the soviet union prime large chunks of central and eastern europe, and refused to leave after the war. that created the iron curtain which separated europe into two portions. one which was free, that was under u

the moral clarity have is george bush and dick cheney have done something wrong. i think it's interesting -- actually the point was that congress was briefed on this june 24th. there was a big discussion going on. >> after it was upheld by dick cheney. >> a program that had never been initiated. democrats are saying this is a full-blown -- >> mark will be adjudicating. >> there's issues. one is whether the attorney general wants to look at the interrogation techniques. the other is the new report from over the weekend whether there was a program or beginning of the program that the vice president may have been involved in saying congress should not be briefed. it goes back as a political matter to the question does the president want to be using capital and the bandwidth to look back. >> mark, this is not a political matter. this is the matter of upholding the rule of law. >> i applaud, irrespective of this matter, i applaud any attorney general who shows independence from the white house. >> i applaud congress for conducting an investigation into why dick cheney

>> i mean, george bush -- ronald reagan didn't endorse george herber walker bush until the year of the election. i mean, it's just way too early. i'm confident she would make a fine president. the question is what's the whole political scenario? >> do you think she's run? >> i don't know. i know she will play a major role. i know she has the ability to ignite our party and to galvanize us and get us going again and give us a strong, positive message. >> one more on this. your trusted advisor mike murphy wrote this week something very pointed. he wrote that governor sarah palin is the political train wreck that keeps on giving. first she was an awful choice for last year's john mccain's are an mate. an inexperienced governor of a small state, she lacked experience and brought nothing to the ticket. it was a centrality eejically awful choice. knowing everything you know now, would you pick her again? >> absolutely. in all due respect to those who like to kind of examine the entrails and look back washed, the fact is we were three points ahead on september 15th, and the stock market crash

george w. bushts an antimissile defense system in poland and the czech republic, the backyard of russia. and dimitri medvedev and his predecessor vladimir putin has exported russia's military presence to latin america, our backyard. with medvedev it's a fleet of 1,600 naval officers and conducting exercises late last year off the ven venezuelan coasts and using venezuela and cuba for bases for strategic bombers. russia is now supplying $150 million in military helicopters to bolivia. and $4 billion, repeat, $4 billion in military hardware to venezuela. both bolivia's morales and chavez are tight with russia and with each other. question, what advantage does this mutual nuclear warhead agreement give to the u.s.? >> not much at all, john. i hope we're not going to cut delivery systems. i'm less worried about warheads. let me say this. what you put up there is russians are clearly reacting to what we did in the 1990s. reagan, of course, called it the evil empire and was being patted on the back in red
