assistant to george w. bush and bernard whitman a former pollster for president clinton. it was interesting hearing him accuse the president of being in constant campaign mode. now it seems there's a consensus on that in washington. that's not a left or right or mitt romney versus president obama thing. that's true, but the white house says, we have to do that because we had these obstinate republicans and we're sick of hearing no with everything. we're going directly to the american people over the republicans' heads and so, there's not a lot of denial of the constant campaign mode although there's a question of whether it's good or bad. >> well, there's a blending between campaigning, going out and using the bully pulpit and then rolling up your sleeves and doing the work. apparently the president loves to campaign, but he doesn't like to roll up his sleeves and doesn't like to meet with his own leadership. the fact of the matter is, if the president did roll up his sleeves and invite as a matter of course every week, president george w. bush met with the leadership of

, you couple those with this new focus of george w. bushs very humble and easygoing guy who enjoys painting. i see a different emphasis behind that. i see a softer, fuzzier george w. bush. he wants to get away from that bush legacy you're talking about, reverend. he wants to put as much distance as he can between the wars, the economic recession, worst we've seen since the depression, and his potential run for office in 2016. >> but dr. peterson, the facts are what the facts are, trying to change to a fuzzier image is all right, fine, but look at the bush record $4.9 trillion, with a t. the private sector lost 646,000 jobs and the median incomes of the people in this country dropped 4.2% i don't care how you covered it, this is the bush record. >> they want to say he's warm and fuzzy but this is bush without karl rove and without vice president dick cheney. there are ebb manies of his administration that made that administration much more hawkish and we're willing to trade on the lives of the americans and social safety net to prosecute cer

turns out, we're about to see a lot more of george w. bush. the opening of the george w. bush presidential library of southern university. the 24-acre site includes a library and museum and public policy institute. just what the country needs. more public policy from w. it opens to the public on may 1st, which happens to be the 10th anniversary of president bush's mission accomplish speech. all i could say to that is, wow. joining me now is wayne slater, senior political writer for the dallas morning news and co-author of bush's brain, how karl rove made george w. bush presidential. and dana milbank, a washington post political columnist. thank you both for being here tonight. >> hi, rev. >> nice to be with you. >> wayne, we saw another glimpse of president bush. it's rare. how big a problem is the -- is he going to still be for the republican party? >> well, i don't even want to suggest that being seen with the lady baylor's basketball team is a negative. it's going to win the women ncaa. this is a problem because he's largely stayed out of pu

, george w. bushonsible for 9/11, he was called a traitor, a deserter, called retarded. he was called every name in the book. he was compared to hitler. was that racist? >> it's interesting about george w. bush is -- >> what's that? >> i didn't mean to interrupt. good friend. i love you. we go back a long ways. the one thing about george w. bush, he was gone away for a total of four months, almost every year. he was called a lot of things. he wasn't called racist. this president gone for a total of ten weeks in the first term -- >> by the way, van? to correct you, to correct you -- hold on. the top grossing documentary movie of all time "fahrenheit 451" and starts out with moore accusing george w. bush of being lazy. >> this is become a right-wing article of faith that he's lazy. they say he golfs all the time. >> no, it hasn't. >> john sununu said it. >> that would be the president that said this. here it is. >> what's the trait you most deplore in yourself and the trait you most deplore in others? >

if you want to go back to 2004, karl rove and the bush, george w. bushineered the placing of ballot measures in several states to turn out the conservative vote to help george w. bush. a state like ohio, for example. i think that politics is completely being turned on its head. we're watching it happen minute by minute. there is almost a comical stampede on the part of democrats to get on the right side of this issue. there is a bullet in every five minutes. i think they should get decreasing points for how long it takes them to do that. >> seriously. to wait for dick cheney? >> no points. >> no points after rob portman or rob portman's sons in the daily news. and i think dick cheney had a lot to do with it. i think by 2016, i think republicans are the ones who will have a very, very tough time with this issue. and this is classic wedge politics where the idea is to divide your opponent's base. the republicans will be divide between their libertarian base which is more on the economic side and the he evangelical side which they built the modern republica

you remember george w. bush would not meet with arafat in the white house because he knew how that devastated friends and encouraged our enemies. you remember even in the gulags in the soviet union when reagan said evil empire about soviet union, they applauded. it gave them strength. it helped themsh forward. this president doesn't get it. he was in the gulag and when they found out a president used those two words, it made incredible encouragement. >> sean: same speech about alexander s., and ambassador bolton, good to see you. king of jordan said we're making a big mistake by supporting the muslim brotherhood. before i ask you a question. i want to take it back to barack obama's apology tour and ask you if this was effective. let's roll that tape. >> america like every other nation has made mistakes and has it's flaws. in america there is a failure to appreciate europe's leading role in the world. instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have b

here's george w. bush's iraq war, of course, it's his biggest blot on his presidency, i think, and the ten-year anniversary of that starting this next week. with time, even more has been revealed about the false pretenses. under which he went to war. i didn't believe in the pretense let alone the reality of lack of reality. here's the clip from the great documentary we've had on the air here on msnbc called "hubris." we're going to have it again. take a listen. >> the days of iraq acting as an outlaw state are coming to an end. >> powell walked into my office and without so much as a fare thee well, he walked over to the window and said i wonder what will happen when we put 500,000 troops into iraq and comb the country from one end to the other and find nothing? he turned around and walked back in his office. i wrote that down on my calendar, as close to verbatim as i could. i thought that was a profound statement coming from the secretary of state, former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. >> peter, bac

and most amazingly, smu announced today that the george w. bush presidential library is almost ready to open. they have set a date. the george w. bush presidential library will open to the general public for the first time on the ten-year anniversary of the mission accomplished speech, in which president bush announced that the united states had prevailed and major combat operations in iraq were over. that was six weeks into a war that would go on for 8 1/2 more years after that. on the ten-year anniversary of mission accomplished, they're going to open the george w. bush presidential library, which is actually perfect. honestly, any had to pick a date, that would be the date i would pick. what could be more fitting? >>> but we begin our show tonight with the historic civil rights cases that are going to be argued starting tomorrow in the united states supreme court. we now know what the ticktock will be like as far as how this gets argued. it starts at 10:00 a.m. eastern and the oral arguments in the case will last an hour. as always, there are n

george w. bush used to talk about his armies of compassion. es of compassion are not what george w. bush is remembered for. now more than a decade later the republican party seems to have revived the strategy that got him elected in the first place, this idea of compassionate conservativism, a kinder, less mean-seeming republican party. the question is why would it work now when it did not end up working for george w. bush except to get him elected once, and how can you earn an image change like that without changing any of your policies that earned you the image you now want to change. joining us is john brabender. mr. brabender, it's great to have you here. >> i'm glad to be here, and every i am i'm here, i'm increasingly convinced you are not going to switch and become a republican. >> i will keep trying to persuade you of that. let me ask you if you think my analysis is biased by the fact that i am not a republican. i look at sort of the republican prognosis for what went wrong, that autopsy that they unveiled today, and i see that as tryin

here's how george w. bush broke the news on march 19th, 2003. >> my fellow citizens, at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq and free its people and defend the world from grave danger. >> within a month, baghdad had fallen, but the war dragged on. casualties spike in subsequent years and in early 2006, the bombing of a mosque led to a wave of sectarian violence. president obama vowed an exit strategy to fulfill a promise and ended the mission before christmas, 2011. richard engle was there. >> after invasion, a civil war and a surge and a training mission, for the first time, u.s. military command no longer has a presence here in iraq. this is now a sovereign nation. >> richard spent eight years in iraq. he is in another key part of the region in israel. he is waiting for president obama who arrives in jerusalem tomorrow morning. good morning. >> good to be with you. >> i want to ask you, we sit here ten years later and you spent a tremendous am

george w. bushw with "reuters" after the supreme court case that decided he would be president and before he was inaugurated. he did a 45-minute interview with "reuters" in which before he was even sworn in, he was threatening to go to war with iraq. once 9/11 happened, they said how can we use this to get the public to go along with what we already want to do. why did they already want to start a war? why did they think it was solve problems? and why did they think it would be so easy? that, i think, is not just a george w. bush administration problem, that's an american problem with us coming to think that the military is the easiest solution to many of our biggest problems. >> robert, i want to ask you as someone who has worked in the administration and has worked with the president, who is currently in office, how much has the legacy of iraq shaped president obama's view in terms of military engagement? we talk about syria a lot and there's some thinking, there's some wisdom out there that he do

i can't see history being kind to george w. busht call him what many have called him as the worst president of modern times. but on the other side of the ledger he did do important work, global aid that was good. like it or not the bailout was something that had to be done, and would not have had to have been done if it wasn't for decisions made by previous administrations. there could be some things good things are said about george w. bush but the list is not long. >> john: i got to defend president bush and say i wouldn't call it as a war that he started al-qaeda and taliban started that one. now i've been kind to george bush. we're fair and biased. thank you very much. a pleasure to have you. afghan president karzai says they're conspiring to stay in afghanistan to stay in afghanistan. he should be so lucky. somehow he thinks raising the minimum wage is a bad idea for the middle class. but we do care about them, right? vo: the war room monday to thursday at 6 eastern ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] the next wave of italians has c

george h.w. bush, george w. bush, and bill clinton.mber does not include the additional money we spend on their lifetime of secret service. it's the former president's act and it became law during the eisenhower administration just after harry truman left office. after moving out of the white house, truman could barely pay his bills. since then everyone who has taken the oath has been guaranteed an enviable allowance 0. it covers their pension, office, staff, travel, even postage. and those numbers can quickly add up. george w. bush racked up a $1.3 million tab last year, the report says, part of that money went to fund office space in dallas. 8,000 square feet of it. bill clinton apparently feels like a million bucks, too. he also spent most of his money on office space. the first president bush enjoyed taxpayer funded benefits to the tune of $850,000. and for jimmy carter, it was close to half a million. not exactly chump change especially when you factor in how much these former presidents make from book sales, speak iin engagements

but george w. bush that decision. in fact, the very same people who spent years beating up george bush were the very ones beating the drum for iraq's regime change and saddam hussein's ouster. >> we need to disarm saddam hussein. he is a brutal murderous dictator leading an oppressive regime. >> the invasion of iraq was a profound diversion from the battle against our greatest enemy, al qaeda. the president's misjudgment, miscalculation, and mismanagement of the war in iraq make the war on terror harder to win. >> i applaud the president on folk youing on this issue and on taking the lead to disarm saddam hussein. >> we would be much safer today if president kept his focus on al qaeda rather than the war on terror in afghanistan to a war of choice in iraq. this war has been a grotesque mistake. >> saddam hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. >> despite the evidence, president bush is determined to continue

he was a friend of george w. bush. he a remarkable human being. a gifted neurosurgeon, wonderful life story, tremendous values, loves america. there is another thing between that and running for office. there is a reason why we have rarely elected people who have not previously served in political office. the times that we have, for example in 1952, nonetheless the person had a lot record of public service, dwight eisenhower commanded our traps in world war ii. i hope he enters the public sphere of our country because he a fine human being with a lot of insights and remarkable ability to get to the heart of the matter and express it. >> greta: fresh faces, senator marco rubio, from the senate and candidates coming out of jobs from governors. governor scott walker, governor martinez. in looking at the party, should the party, if given a choice, with people with more experience as an executive or legislative? >> traditionally the republican party has tended to have more people come from the ranks of governors who have been successful in getting elec

now, interestingly enough, latinos were very supportive of his brother, george w. bush. at i'm thinking, if i'm looking into the crystal ball, is that jeb bush thinks that comprehensive reform is going to pass so when 2015 rolls around and it's primary time, he can take immigration reform off the table and not worry about it and he can flip-flop back and say it was implemented and citizenship reform worked well so i support it now, latinos come support me. he wants to have his cake and eat it, too. >> well, but victoria, i think that he should hope that it is off the table because let's look at him on immigration and the path to citizenship, since you brought it up. on june 12th, 2012, he told cbs he supports the path to citizenship. but then on march 4th of this year he claimed he doesn't support a path to citizenship. a day later, the very next day, march 5th, his book is released, which calls the path to citizenship a magnet for illegal immigration. then later the same day, march 5th, he says that he's opened to a path to citizenship. follow me here now, two days later
