the governor of new york at this time was a man named george clinton, no relation to bill and hillary. but he wrote about the constitution when it was going to the ratification process and he used a pen name, cato. he said this. compare your past opinions and sentiments with the presence proposed establishment and you will find if you adopted and he's talking about the constitution will lead be doing to the system which you heretofore reprobate as of used. every american whig not long since bore his emphatic testimony against the monarchical government limited because the dangerous inequality as relative to their rights to property and where and desist president has with his powers and prerogatives differ from the king of great britain? so he was concerned that the executive in the constitution was going to be too powerful that they were essentially creating another candidate. another opponent of the constitution asked this. he wrote under the pen name an old whig and nobody knows who it is but there were a number different people who he thought could have been the author. of course t

now, many times under clinton, under george w. bush, and under president obama, senior americans have met with the russians, have given detailed power point presentations and other kinds of discussions to demonstrate, i think, very persuasively that there's no way that these systems could seriously degrade a russian attack, not that we want the russians to attack. we want the russians to feel comfortable that the retaliatory capability is not threatened. remember, if you have ten interceptors and works perfectly. if you attack it with 11 missiles, you're going to win. so you can overwhelm the system. you can confuse the system with chaff and decoy the various kinds of systems. you can blind the radars. you can now use cyber against the communication systems. there are many things you can do to try to defense an abm system. and you are going to hear quite a bit about that, i think, by my colleagues. the administration decided, after many meetings, consultations, memos, and other activities and consulting with many experts of a vari

look at the last three presidents of the united states who had two terms, reagan, bush, george w bush, and clinton, all governors. chris: i'm listening. when we come back, can president obama avoid a third middle east war in a dozen years and "scoops and predictions" from these top reporters. be right back. chris: welcome back, a "washington post/abc" poll gives president obama big marks over mitt romney on handling foreign policy. he gets 55% to romney's 38%. what could upset that lead? well war with iran and afghanistan, will the killing of americans over there over the koran burning ignite a faster pullout. bob, two big questions. let's start with the first one, this whole question of iran. the whole week the president is talking about it. netanyahu is coming here, apac meeting and all that. he said to the atlantic magazine. i'm going to tell him, netanyahu, he shouldn't bomb. we'll take care of this if we have to. >> that's a very important interview that jeffrey goldberg did with obama, 45 minutes, what are you doing? goldberg is up to speed on this as much as anyone and what struck me in tha

george w. bush, bill clinton and, to some extent, president obama. it's not a republican set of strategies nor a democratic set of strategies. it's another way that presidents try to achieve their policy and political objectives. so that's what i want to talk about just a little bit today with the pioneer of some of those strategies. of course, as it was suggested this morning, some of the responsibility or the gratitude for that may well go to dwight eisenhower. who really thought that richard nixon needed to have greater experience and understanding some of the constraints and the dynamics of larger organizations. something that mr. nixon really had never had at any point in his career. in terms of a set of strategies, when we talk about the administrative presidency, what we're really talking about are presidents trying to achieve their goals outside of the legislative process, outside of public speaking, outside of communication kinds of devices. instead, they turn to executive branch agencies and executive branch departments as well as to their

. >> george bush and bill clinton could not say that. >> he firmly identified himself as a black president. >> absolutely. and with the fear that is so common among black people that their sons, just by being black, are targets of being seen as criminals. a lot of emotional stuff about the way people feel like that. he is associated with them and the african-american community will feel enormously grateful that he has done this. >> has this opened him up to come back from people who say that he is playing the race card? >> it has and i am very surprised that there has not been any backlash. i have not seen anything, certainly not from mainstream commentators. no one has said that in a big way may be because this is such a shocking case and we are talking about a young person losing their life. it is more difficult to attack him over it. >> i am struck by how much coverage this has gotten in it europe. it is about the fault lines of american society and we see them brought on the issues of race and guns. >> this is not something that is exclusive to america. i have people write to me who sa

moderates who have gotten elected like bill clinton and george w. essages for the moderates in the center of the spectrum, but hals the other part. bill clinton ran against wel fair as we know it. george w. bush was a compassionate conservative. it turned out to be hollow, but he was trying to be nice. mitt romney has given moderates and independents, people in the middle of the spectrum, nothing. ed koch had a great slogan. he said if you agree with me on 9 out of 12 issues vote with me. if you agree with me on 12 out of 12 issues, see a psychiatrist. and mitt romney has been trying to please, you know, these right wing crazies all the time. and it has severely damaged the guy. i mean, severely damaged. >> and when you think about the moves that bill clinton made to the center, to that side of the party -- >> the center. >> running electorally. he was doing nit the primaries. people think nixon suggest that had you can kind of ignore the primaries. you have to get started early. >> and you particularly can't ignore them in this kind of media environ

. >> well, tomorrow george clooney is scheduled to meet with both president obama and secretary of state hillary clinton. george clooney joins us now along with human rights activist john prendergast, the co-founder of the enough project, a group that works to stop genocide. george, thank you for joining us. you're really starting at the beginning on educating us as to what's going on over there on the border between sudan and south sudan. who's committing genocide against whom? and why? >> well, it may be too soon to call it genocide. but what we do know is it's certainly war crimes and atrocities. but what it is is it's the same people. it's the same people who did it in darfur. it's president omar al bashir. it's harun, the defense minister, all three men charged with war crimes at the defense criminal court are the same people who are indiscriminately bombing innocent civilians all through the yuba mountains. and it's a campaign of fear and death and starvation that we've seen before. and rape, quite honestly. we have seen before in the beginnings of darfur. >> is it recognizable motive or tribalisi

george w. bush and bill clinton years ago. because it takes time. well, this president has shut down on-shore drilling. he's shut down off-shore drilling. he's shut down keystone. so now we're sitting in a place where we're no better off today than where we were three years ago. we've got a president that's now coming back on the campaign trail again talking about an "all of the above" energy policy. >> schieffer: what about mr. axelrod's assertion that it's your fault that the keystone thing got killed because you tried to force an early decision. >> i think myself and everyone in the studio chuckled all about at the same time when he said that. look, the republicans have been in favor of this keystone pipeline-- 20,000 jobs. if there was ever such a thing as shovel-ready projects, here was one of them plus it would get us a step closer to energy independence. it wouldn't be the whole deal. but it's a step closer. this president has shut down everything when it comes to energy independence in this country. we're sitting on a wealth of energy to get

it was accepted by past and present israeli prime ministers, and american presidents like bill clinton, georgebarack obama, all of them. the president of a two-state solution is a paramount is really interest. we want to preserve in israel that is jewish, democratic. i need from time to time with president habbas and the prime minister. they need and they want peace. i believe that it is possible with them. they are our only partner. it is a piece that is a dream for both of us and it is a nightmare for iran. they are afraid that we shall make peace. iran is an evil, cruel, morally corrupt. it is an affront to human dignity. they are the sponsor and finance are of world terror. iran is a danger to the entire world. [applause] it threatens berlin as well as madrid. it does not threaten just israel. their ambition is to control the metal least so they can control the major powers of the world economy. it must be stopped. it will be stopped. [applause] israel experienced the whole of war. it does not seek it. peace is always our first option. if we are forced to fight, trust me, we shall prevail.

george h.w. bush though he lost to bill clinton is seen as a grand statesman. it's a remarkable testament, george w. bush is nowhere in this campaign. >> chris, thank you very much for setting us up today. mayhem in the skies. and the threat of cyberattacks. on that front, proposed legislation would require owners and operators of critical facilities to notify homeland security at the first sign of hacking. senator john mccain is raising questions of top intelligence officials about homeland's ability to handle the growing cyberthreat. >> do you greet that he secretary panetta and the fbi have said that cyberattacks may soon be the number one threats to the united states? >> absolutely, senator. >> so then what's the logic in providing the overall authority to the department of homeland security? anyone who has been through an airport as i do regularly as most of us do have no confidence in the technological capabilities of the department of homeland security. in fact, as an example, nothing has changed as far as airport security is concerned since probably sept

george h.w. bush and president clinton were frequent visitors. in part because of malia and sasha's schedules they rarely go to camp david. >> it was interesting. when i asked for the reasoning why the switch, what did he know now he didn't know when he made plans, he cited as everyone heard to the clip and someone said weshgd use camp david as a way to deal with other leaders. it's a better setting. so he seemed to -- the way he said it was, gee, the light bulb just went off. one could point out this was always available to him, and this is the first time that he has foreign leaders at camp david. >> what was the overall tone you took away from today's news conference? >> overall, i think that he had a message to his rivals, and that is, you don't know what you're talking about because you don't actually have to push a button or send someone to war. that was probably the strongest message he had where his rivals today at the american israel political action conference talked about how much better they could do or they would cripple iran. obama p

what actually will employ them up close ability america's systematically whether it's george bush or rivalry bill clinton america is this america. makes russia knows this china knows this the so-called reset. under. the reset never really reset probably in mid live knows of course who knows. election rolls eyes claim or obama claims well you know you had an election you have a new man coming you know we had all the action you november i hope to be hussein in spain you know but the idea of close ability i think it's nonsense kristie well some people are saying that you know should obama when it will mean you know critics of the president saying it will most likely mean more hostility towards israel and also regarding russia more accommodation to vladimir putin's russia what do you think about that. well the american media bashes knowledge you know that you're right you see what happens here television media oh they have really roughed him up last this is and maybe they like a little bit better but we're concerned about it coming in because he's got more backbone to stand up he would lose your edge i can h

students in clinton, prince george's county, can't believe their friend and classmate is gone so soon. mike hellgren has more on this mysterious death. >> reporter: this was a straight a student, getting ready to go to college in the baltimore area later this year. we know of no preexisting health conditions that led to her collapse on the track here behind me. >> reporter: heartbroken classmates released pink balloons on the tracks. in honor of tacaya. the honor student was set to attend towson university in the fall. her dad said she told a friend she was having chest pains, moments before she collapsed. she danced with him the night before her death. >> you know, we were waltzing last night. and i was teasing her and she was teasing me. >> she was a beautiful person. she was just the nicest girl you could ever meet. even before she knew who i was, she was just so kind. >> reporter: loved ones say tacaya was the picture of health. a vegetarian and an avid runner! we were just laughing about how her diet was so much healthier than ours. >> reporter: as they gather here to honor her,

drew findling is back with us, and director of transnational security council under president clinton and george bush. and i guess, lee, if i read this right, the rules have changed on how long they can keep what they gather but not on what they can actually gather. is that a fair assessment? >>guest: that is right. this is another prudent step the president is taking to keep the country safe and battling appropriately civil liberties and you are right, this does not impact the type of information that federal agencies may collect and keep on americans and united states persons but how long the data is kept and, perhaps, the type of analysis it is subjected to. >>trace: you believe this is way too much big brother? drew: and i do. i cite a couple of things. this is not a time to forget since 2008 there has been 90 percent conviction or guilty plea on suspected terrorists that were indicted in federal court. it is not like the system is not working in the apprehension on our soil of terror suspects. we are taking what is ordinarily controversial that one would get by traditional notions or probab

is it really fair to blame the president, any president i'm talking about, george bush, president obama, clintonout gas prices, about high gas prices? >> simple answer. that's it. >> it really is, don. i can expound upon it, i can tell you gas prices are the subject of global supply and demand. the current spike we're seeing has a lot to do with unsteadiness in the middle east. the truth,in the short term, presidents have very little to do with what the gas price is. >> it sure does get your base riled up. it sure does make for a great narrative, one guy against the other, am i right? >> absolutely, it's gold in the political world. >> you want to weigh-in on this, go for it. i don't know, maybe you don't agree with what will said. >> no, i agree with will. it hasn't been fair for any candidate to be challenging the white house with regard to the white house, the loaf of bread or cost of cotton or any other product we use in america. the thing i find frustrating right now, though, at one end challenging the president -- on the other end they're drumming the work about iran. not understanding as

they had 16 years of unalloyed affection for bill clinton and george w. bush and now this president is turning away from them and going after the other women. and they didn't like it. they didn't like it, the left-wing didn't like it in a zero. in fact, obama is standing in israel actress paris beach plummeted down to single digits and it only started to just around 50, 65% when he gave a speech in the united nations last year, which was diametrically opposed to the cairo speech. so he embraced the israeli narrative district, whereas he read the palestinian narrative. and so, essentially what happened was having lost the israeli public quite early on, then yahoo! -- yahoo! figured out he could get more by standing up to the present stand by agreeing to what he wanted. and indeed the famous moment when he operated the president to the white house he went up 10 points in the israeli public opinion, which is unheard of in a relationship that the israeli two american presidents because they depend on the american president for the security at the end of the d

that distinction is obliterate clinton and george bush had something to do that.riday is doing an extra step. go to the white house website. not the democrat national committee it is propaganda for their policy. and not how you can get insurance better or policy. it is propaganda and have something up there that invites americans to tell their stories. how has the new health care law done anything to to your family. it is our care . they think they are responsible for it and there is no disbetween government programs that help you pay for health care and he obama administration taking over your health care and say, we are giving you health care. >> bret: arguments start in two week in the supreme court. how big of an issue is the health care going to be, chuck? >> it wasn't in the republican primary a battle between romney and opponents with them trying to blame romney for it but i think the supreme court case and not just oral arguments and the ruling that lands right in june and july. will reawaken the issue particularly depending on how it goes. if the court up

it had 16 years of unalloyed affection with bill clinton and george w. bush.and now, this president is turning away from them and going after the other woman and they didn't like it. and they didn't like it. the west wing didn't like him and israel. in fact, obama is standing after his cairo speech and it only started to recover -- actually now up around 50, 55% vindicate their speech in the united nations, which is kind of diametrically opposed to the cairo speech. he embraced the israeli narratives of israel's history, whereas in the current speech he wrote the palestinian number. so essentially what happened was ha
