george w. bush administration. in my view, the effort to limit government i think i differ a bit here with the congressman, really begin to end in the summer of 1997. republicans in congress and elsewhere began, stopped believing that it was a winning political strategy to run on cutting back the federal government. and so they started looking for other alternatives. and during that period a number of evangelical conservative christians have been entering the republican party and affiliate with the republican party in increasing numbers but selecting one idea was that you can build a majority on that group. that led, i believe, in part to the impeachment in 1998, which as you may recall failed politically. and then thereafter, george w. bush, and is also is forgotten because there's so much history between us in 1998. george w. bush ran very explicitly as being the anti-gingrich, and to illustrate the, the anti-regular but certainly the anti-reagan who was the government. bush always talked about re

it was about the message of the second george w. bush victory. john kerry had spent 100 and in more dollars than george w. bush in the 2004 election and it struck me at the time, as i realize now, a generally inclusive framework over the years certainly after that, that the american people were not willing to accept business as usual. what i think is that george bush would use such a dramatically bad job in the last half a second term, that that friend-- trend would continue manifesting in what unfortunately was the obama victory as well. so, americans, i think we have seen since 2004 have been saying do you know what? we are tired of business as usual. the election of bush signify that in the middle of the war and then the election of obama signified it and now what i think the american people are saying is that neither hardy has been honest with them. neither party has had the nations best interest and blind in this third step is the tea party movement i think. this remarkable shift we are saying politically right now. >> we will get into the

what's interesting to me, in recent ideas that the george w. bush getting elected and the red states were on the rise. that was all the a sun belt phenomenal. the kind of new conservatism coming out. what's the south. it's a riddle. and i think every scholar who's actually asked this question and looked at it hard ends up saying the south is not a specific place that we can clearly delineate on a map. the south is something that we imagine. it's about identity. and once you start saying it's a cultural construct, like saying race is cultural construct. it means you have to investigate it. not just accept that it's true. >> this is a collection of essays. and you call it a debate. how do you envision the book being used? >> we're hoping that it will be used first of all in graduate seminars. because it's the kind of book that is about -- at some levels these are debates happening within the academy. but we also, a lot of essays are written to try to intervene in some of the myths that are out there in our country today about how the conservative revo

bob woodward's book on george w. bush fell in that category. those books do two things. one, they give you a sense of zeitgeist. what people were thinking and how people first reacted into the issue. the second thing is that they're talking to people -- who are in the game still. so the memories are fresh. they're fresher. there's, of course, some spin but there's always spin. so there are real advantages for readers to reading the fist cut. -- first cut. it's the first cut of history and we're going to learn more later and we may change our mind. >> we'll ask tim in just a minute. we only have 30 minutes with presidential historian tim naftali. by the way, if you want to send a tweet to tim naftali, twitter.com/booktv. we'll be looking for your tweets as well as we go on throughout the day. jeff has a new book on fdr. dave has a new book on calvin coolidge and amity has a book about calvin coolidge. there is left to learn about fdr or calvin coolidge. >> again, every generation reacquaints itself with the towering figures within american history. it's very important, i

at the same time in president george w. bush's administration, there were 20 nominees being held. now over 100 are being held. and overwhelmingly these nominees have passed out of committee to the senate floor with unanimous, bipartisan votes or overwhelming bipartisan votes. they're not controversial. these men and women deserve an opportunity to have an up or down vote. what's happening here is that these nominations are being held as bargaining chips. bargaining chips for projects, for -- i'm not sure. what but it's unfair to these men and women who have said they will offer sometime in their lives in public service and will go through the rigors of being examined and questioned and then stand up and help try to make this a better nation serving in a government post. there's nothing wrong with that, whether it's a republican or democrat. and many of these are republicans, they should have that opportunity. i would suggest to the republican side of the aisle, let's not use these good men and women of both political parties as bargaining chips for something else. let's eliminate

for six straight years under george w. bush, or 90% of all the income growth in the country went into the pockets of the wealthiest 10%. the other 90% of the population, the regular people of this country got table scraps. i deeply regret not being able to do more to turn that around. that and the inability of the political system to achieve the public financing of campaigns remain the biggest disappointments of my public life. my second goal was to expand support for education in order to expand opportunity for every american. that has been a hard slog but especially in the last three years, we have been able to move large amounts of federal resources to do just that. this year will greatly enhance federal support for student aid. that is not enough but it has made big difference. my third goal was to help move the country into the ranks of civilized nations by making it possible for almost every american to receive quality health care without begging. for years frankly, i despaired of ever getting that done. last month, as i

a ferocious face-off between george w. bushg the course of the south carolina primary. watch this. >> larry: the press was immense. there must have been 250 press. south carolina was close at the time. that one minute to 9:00 and i'm standing with bush and mccain. and mccain says to bush, george, does it have to be the way it's been? and bush said to mccain something like, that's politics. and mccain said to bush, is everything politics? and suddenly the guy says, on stage. and i knew we were going to have a hum dinger. tonight a crucial debate for the three remaining presidential candidates. >> remember who called who untrust worthy. remember who called who untrust worthy. this is a pro-life party. may i finish, please? may i finish, please? >> larry: moderating is easy. all i have to do is ask good questions and keep it going. i can't let it get out of hands. you want it to be strife-ridden. >> you should be ashamed. >> is he responsible for what someone else says? >> this same man who stood next to him. this same man attacke

this is because of george w. bush and the things that he did. people are skeptical about the government. i am one of them. we have to know more about who we nominate and start taking the law seriously. the process, serious. people go through the motions and they make legislation, but they do not think about this. there was a democrat that said that they make all law that is not in the constitution. just like this, this is serious. people not really have time to care, because they have to do things. but as a nation, we have to wake up to the fact that we're facing the demise of a democracy. this is very sad because nobody is falling the rule of law. we have to have more -- we have to take the amendment process and make this much easier. there are things that could be -- could be solved with an amendment. sometimes the justices are asked about cameras in the courtroom. this is what she had to say about this. >> i will ask about this question that i am interested in. justice sotomayor has the opposite view, of keeping these out. what would you tell

george h.w. bush and george w. bush, both of whom you have problems with? >> guest: richard nixon was my innocentor. -- meantior. -- mentor. [laughter] >> guest: he treated me like a son. avenues wonderful man. -- he was a wonderful man. he was a wonderful conversationist. my belief was we had lost with goldwater. we had gone with barry goldwater and we were wiped out, 38% of the vote. and i realized the country wasn't ready for goldwater conservatism. and of the two candidates running, nixon and romney, nixon was far superior in terms of talent, ability. he was a figure of history when i met him. he'd been, you know, involved in his case when i was 9 years old sore. -- or so. he did want to name conservative supreme court justices. he was badly misled in the people he named. he did want to -- you know, leave vietnam with honor. i think he would have preferred to win the war and so an awful lot of issues i think he agreed. but basically i don't think he was a goldwater conservative at all. >> host: do you have a problem with the bushes? >> guest: well, you

he says if that had been george w. bush instead of barack obama it would have been national scandal. >> well, i think that's right probably. but, you know, it is just -- that is just how it is. i mean that -- we knew that and my real reluctance when george decided to run for president when he was thinking about running for president was that we knew from having watched the way mr. bush was characterized in 1992. >> your father. >> that that is the risk you run. and it is not all that, though. that is whey also want people to say there is a lot of criticism but there is also a lot of support from the american people. people said to us on every single rope line, every single place we went that they were praying for us. >> chris: does it bother you 16 months into the presidency that the obama administration still talks about the bad economy they inherited from your husband? >> well, sure, you know, that bothers me. but on the other hand, the economy was bad that september, i think that one of the things that happened when geor

tom ridge, he served as secretary of homeland security under george w. bush, and former pennsylvania -- former governor of pennsylvania and decorated marine what is your reaction to this story, tom? all right. tom is not hearing me. one of those nights, folks, mother told me about this. we will get back with tom. let's check in right here in l.a. with harry humphries, counterterrorism expert and former navy s.e.a.l., president of global studies group and bob bayer, former cia officer and host of the channel 4 documentary "car bomb" and can a a columnist for time.com. harry, what is your take? >> well, one of two scenarios are possible. obviously it is extremely amateurish. it was not, in fact, a bomb. it was more of an incineration device. >> larry: not sophisticated? >> not remotely sophisticated. the level so low, i isn't it possibly could have been a probe. if, in fact a -- >> larry: a probe? >> a probe of the response facilities that nypd would have in that region, that area and oh, by the way, they were excellent. so anybody watching if it was a probe, s

he says if that had been george w. bush instead of barack obama it would have been national scandal. >> well, i think that's right probably. but, you know, it is just -- that is just how it is. i mean that -- we knew that and my real reluctance when george decided to run for president when he was thinking about running for president was that we knew from having watched the way mr. bush was characterized in 1992. >> your father. >> that that is the risk you run. and it is not all that, though. that is whey also want people to say there is a lot of criticism but there is also a lot of support from the american people. people said to us on every single rope line, every single place we went that they were praying for us. >> chris: does it bother you 16 months into the presidency that the obama administration still talks about the bad economy they inherited from your husband? >> well, sure, you know, that bothers me. but on the other hand, the economy was bad that september, i think that one of the things that happened when geor

sestak that used video of arlen specter from the last president's administration cozying up with george w. bushnd former republican president talking about how important he was as a g.o.p. ally. all of this sort to meant to raise questions about the authenticity of arlen specter in the democratic party or in the senate at this point. again, joe sestak has a lot of climbing to do. arlen specter is well known a big organization across the state. three days to decide what's going right down to the wire, shep. >> shepard: carl cameron live in philly. thanks. for more what's at stake tune in sunday night 9:00 eastern, 8:00 central special fox news reporting inside campaign 2010. bret baier hosts with inside access to the nation's key house and senate races that will help decide control of congress and shape president obama's agenda. sunday night 9:00 eastern, 8:00 central here on the fox news channel. and just in to fox news, the army is recalling 44,000 helmets used by soldiers on the battlefield. we're told advanced combat helmets produced by armor source do not meet the army requirements. officia

and what you saw, the outline of the bill is not that much different than what george w. bush wanted to do, and there is a consensus, on the policy, what you have to do first, the fact there has to be a task for -- path for legalization and it is one thing to do the border and now there are 10.5 illegal immigrants and they cannot run in a national election without solving the problem. >> chris: all right. we have to take a break. when we come back. the oil spill in the gulf is a disaster. for folks who live there. and could be a big problem for politicians. our panel tackles both, in a moment. >> promote i continue to believe domestic oil production is an important part of our overall strategy for energy security but i've always said it must be done responsibly. >> remember, energy in america is the journey for america. and so, yeah, let's drill, baby, drill! >> chris: with the oil spill in the gulf, do the president and sarah palin now find themselves on the same side of a tough issue? we're back now with the panel. before we get to the politics, brit, does the accident in th

this was an ad that tied him to george w. bush, who is obviously still highly unpopular among democratic base voters, but also quoted specter himself as saying when he switched parties this will enable me to be re-elected. and the tag line on the ad was he changed parties to save one job, his own, and that was a killer ad. >> lehrer: that's a killer ad, and that's all the anti-specter, is it not? that raised things beyond anti-establishment. >> well, and because i think dan is exactly right. these democratic voters had been voting against arlen specter for 30-some years. so to say, okay, you have to trust that this guy's going to be a real democrat, was going to be a stretch. but i think it's important to remember, too, that democrats didn't dislike arlen specter. if you look at the polls coming into this election, he had a pretty good favorable rating among democratic primary voters. his problem, i think, goes back to dan's point about political expeed espny. it was less about ideology. it was much more about -- wait a minute, th
