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

so it is my impression the republicans are not in love hearing such criticisms of george w. bush. what is that about and what is the position of george bush with the comeback of the republican party? how does the republican party get away from the 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 geo

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

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,

also, former president george w. bushwill speak in oklahoma and we will bring you his remarks as well later this hour. stay tuned for that. it is the bottom of the hour time for the top of the news. while federal agents investigate michael jackson step hundreds of thousands are trying to win a chance to get into jackson's memorial service being held on tuesday. more than 1 million people have signed up for a ticket drawing online. the deadline to register is 6:00 o'clock pacific time tonight. that's 9:00 o'clock eastern. so you still have about 90 minutes if you want to sign up but your odds of winning are slim. apply to you. only 17,500 tickets are available and tomorrow all the winners will know who they are. casey's single is live at the staples center in los angeles where the memorial will take place. >> hi, julie, putting your vacation request, about one 1/2 hours left for you to sign up on what could be the event of a lifetime. in fact the website that people are signing up for to get these tickets received so much

the cheney white house was substantially in control and only after his presidency is george w. bush trying to get his presidency back. and kudos to "time" for being there and helping examine that process because george w. bush is trying to show that he had independence from a guy that we all know really was running things. chris: wow. you guys -- we're coming this from washington. dick cheney is a presence in this city now. 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'

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

they are not getting away with this idea that it is george w. bush's fault. >> when the president first took office, people were saying the problems were inherited. as time goes on, that number shifts. 62% of americans used to say it was president bush's fault. as time goes on, it will move more in the direction of barack obama. that is the natural course. above liberals and conservatives, it is true. there are twice as many conservatives in this country. there is a different dynamic. there are more conservative than there are republicans. republicans have to be conscious of those conservatives outside the party. and the oversight, there are more democrats than there are liberals. the liberals have to reach out to the moderate democrats. they're having trouble hanging on to them right now. sean: i agree with your analysis. ed, let me ask you the same question. nine out of 10 americans are worried about the spending deficit. similar results in another poll. 90% think obama is spending too much money. that does not include a second stimulus. it does not

states would remake the world, having sort of discarded the unilateralism, the cowboy diplomacy of george w. bushnow we see six, seven months in, that perhaps it wasn't the unilateralism or so-called unilateralism of george w. bush but it was actually american interests and the problems we have. i think in some instances, particularly on iran, we took a step back because the g8 statement on iran actually affirmed that engagement will continue regardless of the regime's activities. chris: do you give a bad review to the g8? >> yeah, i give a bad review to the g8 and a bad review to the whole trip, in fact. the g8, they did not do anything on climate change, which they were going to do. they set an upper limit for temperatures, but no limit on co2 emissions, and so all they did was to pledge more aid to africa. it's not really clear when you pledge aid to africa that it really helps africa the way foreign aid is distributed, so the president, to his credit, said to africa, you have got to stop this corruption in order for it to do any good. that was a robust statement, but the rest of it was basica

former vice president dick cheney against the man for whom he chose himself as vice president, george w. bush. since leaving office, george w. bush has surfaced for about five minutes. he's given a few speeches but largely taken himself overtly, at least, out of american politics. the same, of course, cannot be said for the now nearly ubiquitous former vice president, dick kmcheney. he threw a roundhouse punch to his former boss over an issue that divided the two men. the issue is whether president bush would pardon cheney's former chief of staff, scooter libby accused of evading justice, perjury, two years ago. the guilty verdict still stands. but he commuted the 2 1/2 year prison sentence. that, apparently, is not enough for dick cheney. mr. cheney wanted and continues to want a full pardon. "time" magazine published a new cover story about bush and cheney's fight over this issue. it's a story that clearly and from my perspective almost astonishingly obviously told from the perspective of

and a plot to assassinate george w. bush. this man was convicted in 2005 and originally sentenced to 30 years in prison, but it was said the sentence was too lenient. the judge says the new sentence reflects the fact that he has never rejected al qaeda. >> sera palin said goodbye to her constituents but did not say goodbye. she is positioning herself for -- there is a speculation she is positioning herself for a run for president. her committee has already raised more than $1 million. there's also talks of a tv or radio show or that she will hit the speaking circuit. they say she will continue to speak out about issues that mattered to her. >> it is your money, and i always believe you know how to better spend it then government can spend it. >> of poll shows that her decision to leave office early has pushed her favorability rating down to 40%. her first post-governor appearances next month at the reagan library regan -- library. >> we explained the program, and if it works for you coming coming up. >> we are back with a for

of this particular episode of dick cheney's assault on the rule of law was no one other than george w. bush for civil libertarians this is like darth vader saying take my helmet off, son. i'm with you. whether he, you know, there is some question of why george bush did this, whether he views this as politically too unpredictable or whether he did it truly out of constitutional concerns or traditional concerns or whether he simply didn't want to override the fbi. what's clear from his history is that george bush had very little understanding of the limitations of the constitution. what understanding he did have he had a very antagonistic relationship to it. i think maybe george bush the politician realized that all this stuff was ramping up so fast that he was risking a serious back lash. i mean, consider the fact that in his office at that time he already knew about these other unlawful programs. and now you have dick cheney coming in and saying, why don't we start sending soldiers into cities rolling down the streets? i think that perhaps george bush realized that could be a bridge too far
