had been considered for vice president when president ford picked nelson rockefeller, and george bush, herbert walker bush had considered that we were competitive. so the myth came out that when he was sent to the cia, the senate said we won't confirm you unless you agree that you will not be vice president. so it kind of ruled him out. and i told president ford i thought he should do that, definitely not allow the senate to tell them who he should have as a vice presidential nominee. i urged him not to agree to it. the facts are that george herbert walker bush beg the president to tell him he would not be vp, he wanted to be director of the cia. his wife i think wrote a book and said he was thrilled to be nominated for that, and somehow the myth came around that i was the one who masterminded all of this and arranged for him not to be considered for vice president spent and you right in the book that he believes that. >> i don't know that he believes it. i know that the myth persisted. and i finally was tired of it and i wrote president ford and said, give me a letter that tells me what the facts ar

george herbert walker bush is of white northern european heritage. but michael dukakis? bush. he's whiter. chris: bush attacked four years later on clinton. >> this kind of attack shows just how separate the bush campaign has become. yes, i did go to moscow by train in 1969. i struck up a conversation with the man on the seat next to me. he gave me a package to take to moscow and leave it across from lenin's tomb. >> isn't it true that you burned an american flag in red square? >> i tried to burn an american flag once. i didn't like it. gave off toxic fumes so i didn't inhail. chris: ask and when bush 43 was running against john kerry, there was those infamous swift vote ads. saturday night life was on the case. >> i started taking sniper fire. three of us were pinned down. that's when john kerry turned to me and said you know, i don't think americans pay enough taxes. >> kerry ordered us not to shoot the enemy because he was against the death penalty. >> everyone thought it was an ambush. john kerry jumped off the boat and chased after them. within minutes, he said these men

the annual george herbert walker bush elitist bowl. >> in horseshoe land i accept this. >> father, congratulations, george, get this out of your face and tell them what you think of the winner. >> i love popcorn. chris: wow, in 2008 john mccain was already a presidential nominee, but he wasn't ready to answer this question -- >> how many houses do you and mrs. mccain have? >> i think -- i'll have my staff get to you. chris: well, the answer was seven. democrats have rich guys, too. john kerry's winds-surfing habit was a picture most democrats wanted not out there. here was jay leno. >> did you see the picture of john kerry windsurfing? he's at his home in nantucket, doing his favorite thing, winds surfing. even his hobby depends on which way the wind blows. chris: john edwards wasn't a silver spoon guy, but he forgot where he came from -- over and over. there was that infamous $400 haircut. this takeoff went viral. ♪ i feel pretty ♪ oh so pretty, i feel pretty, withey and bright and ♪ chris: by the way, on the subject, he exited the stage with this misleading statement -- >> i've decided that we a

mean it's like with reagan they say he brought down the soviet union the so he fell on george herbert walker bush was administration right i mean somehow everybody in america has amnesia about that right and these you know that the pieces of intelligence some were collected you know in two thousand fourteen thousand five but the bigger policy questions you know the cia the agents were doing their job under whatever president would matter to them but the bigger policy questions of how are you resourcing you know are america's action . creatures are you resourcing the hunt for bin laden which simply didn't do that and obama recommitted was one of the first things that he that he did when he appointed panetta to be director of the cia he said we're going to go after him out and and also the bush roof said that he wouldn't go into pakistan if bin laden was was found to be there he wouldn't need permission john mccain's of this and john mccain and mitt romney exactly will start going to pakistan but even to be there it really was alex thanks for the great they sort of you're doing it over think progre

george herbert walker bush do solemnly swear four years later just as here we ran our three hundred forty one billion dollars. billionaire businessman ross perot took center stage wanting to set the record straight on us debt that's our legislators and our president trying to buy our boat this year. we're not that dumb even though ross perot didn't win he was the most successful dark horse to ever run poor rose right again in one thousand nine hundred six but there was a new third party face in the mix ralph nader. ok. with that enthusiasm nader nation was born his hatred for big government earned him the green party ticket think of the hubris here these two parties have spoiled our elections they've spoiled argh. they spoiled are both making him a popular contender but not a champion neither was steve forbes but he did forever change the third party approach to presidential races using thirty seven million of his own he made it so that money was no object for candidates running outside the well oiled two party system but no amount of money could buy steve forbes or ralph nader the white

george w. bush you could call it the fifth administration. or the third putting on how you look at it because because of course under reagan you know george herbert walker bush was really running things so we're talking about three to five ministrations the same people depending on your perspective and the attempted assassination of khadafi was blowing up in their face that extrajudicial it into the killing so now they're saying hey this legitimizes that they're now saying torture gave them the intel of where he. was at so torture is now legitimized this is the kickoff of obama's reelection bid that gives them the left cover for torture secret arrest military commissions new wars i mean it's here this is completely orwellian and it's completely cartoonish and we even have the democratic party leadership and they were scared that bush was going to pull this basically blocking them by calling bush's bluff so he couldn't release it i mean i mean i talked face to face with a bush administration official that everyone would know who talked about this in two thousand and three i've interviewed the former second command the state department on record. steeper

this occurred in 1990, when president george herbert walker bush allowed sanctions against pakistan for its nuclear weapons program. as long as the soviet army was in afghanistan, u.s. president prevented those sanctions authorized by congress from going into affect. the military sanctions were lifted in 1985, but it was only after september 11 that the non- military component was lifted. that is because the u.s. government needed the support of the pakistani military to prosecute the war in afghanistan. as was said on wednesday in new york at the launch i watched, u.s. policy has involved carrots for the military and six for the people -- sticks for the people. the pakistani economy is already in a precarious state. the government is likely to cut expenditure when the budget is announced next week to meet targets for budget deficit reduction. is not going to make it easier to increase funding for health and education. a tax surcharge was imposed on those already paying taxes, and import duties were imposed. the discussion of aid to pakistan has already had a negative affect on the econ

in 1992 people were often saying the same thing about bill clinton, and he did succeed george herbert walker bush. the republicans will have a nominee. whoever it is. so, they will have someone to challenge the president. and next year may look different than this year. caller: a very good question. the point that i would make is that the only reason republicans have the chance, george bush in 1992 broke his basic promise to the american people and he lost his base. remember, he was riding high after the first gulf war. his approval numbers were through the roof and everything. the only way that republicans can defeat president obama in 2012 it is if he loses his base. which he has lost a significant portion of. let's face, obama has moved towards the center since he took office and since he pushed through obama-care. that is the only chance the republicans have to put someone out there that does not have this conceded, ideological argument. they need something that appeals to the broad base of the american people. but right now, i do not see it. host: last caller on this topic is kim, detroit. g

host: in 1991, george herbert walker bush, his success in out offing saddam hussein from kuwait and both lost their re-election bids. guest: i think the bump that the president got out of the killing of osama bin laden wasn't expected to last particularly given that we're in a tough economic climate. what i found interesting in some of the things cheri was saying, if you care about small businesses, you would never play politics with the idea of raising the debt ceiling or not. if we default on the debt ceiling, that makes harder to get credit, it makes it harder for small business to have access to credit and loans for individuals and college loans so there are a number of things i felt if that was a sincere concern on the part of the republicans, we wouldn't hear some of the rhetoric we're hearing. that being said, the economy will be almost like a third candidate in the race because while it is true we are moving in the right direction, it's still not felt by enough people and certainly with the gas being as high as they are, one of the things, in addition to what the president was ta
