one of the things people we get confused because president obama runs against first-term george w. bush but he inherits second term georg george w. bush. and by that i mean before leaving office bush himself had moderated and changed a lot of his policies. waterboarding had that happen in a second term at all. when president obama comes in he bans torture. it already actually stopped. president obama want to close guantÁnamo. president bush had started off that path before he left office. in fact, he got more detainees moved out of guantÁnamo and president obama did. he just didn't finish it in more than president obama did. he got congress to approve the secresecret service program that every objected to that the "new york times" broke the story about the congress ultimately bought into it and putting some safeguards. senator obama voted for it. the military tribunals that the supreme court had rejected were recast and put through congress and congress bought into. president bush spent a lot of time tried to moderate his program, get rid of some of the harshness to the edges, more extr

by the way, stay with george w. bush. extraordinary things. we can he was called a nazi, compared to hitler, their touch of this julius caesar but there was a movie called made the assassination of george w. bush. i'm not saying race doesn't play a role but undoubtedly, part of our politics right now is one more element that president obama confronted and in some cases chose not to confront. we had not become a post- racial society and he didn't get everything done he wanted to. >> the american president. [inaudible] there's insights about the nature of the presidency and our country. you would think they were a different party when they had battled through elections in pretty tough ways. i think that's because, especially when you leave office, there are only six people alive who have confronted the issues they have confronted. the issues do not get any better if the other party takes over. of course there still rotten to the core. they understand each other better, they have more of a shared sense of purpose and experience and i think they do

america will be better off for it. >> george w. bush also had a very successful year after following the pattern of ronald reagan. be very specific in your campaign about two or three things. in his case, it was lower taxes, education reform, stand strong in the world but don't try to do regime change. these were several things he said in the campaign. he gets into office. what does he do? he reaches out to ted kennedy on the other side of the i'll and political -- aisle and political spectrum, a liberal in the most liberal sense of the word. he invited ted kennedy and his family to the white house after the moderation. -- inauguration. he said the new movie 13 days just came out about the cuban missile crisis, would you like to watch it? >> all these things were about this trust developing, this relationship, this common cause of can we get something done? they both have their own equities. they both believed they should do a better job of educating kids. >> you can imagine the brother of president kennedy sitting there with president

we forget, though, that george w bush earlier had overseen some successful disaster relief efforts inlorida during the 2003, early 200a. 50 it's not impossible to manage this, even for somebody like george w bush. the potential for stumbling and potential for stumbling and potential pitfalls are great and we saw what happened and it essentially wrecked george w bush's presidency. is there a sense in washington that everybody for the moment is watching this on fold and being dealt with before the criticism of how the president might be handling it really begins? that's right. i think we are hearing some criticism of local officials about whether houston should have been evacuated oi’ houston should have been evacuated or not. mind you, houston is a city of upwards of 6 million people and to introduce widespread evacuation in the city would have been difficult to impossible but that will not stop people from second—guessing him. after any disaster they should be an amount of analysis on what did and did not work, how to improve force of the real test as i mentioned for the trump adminis

the things we get confused a little bit because here in the first term but inherits second term george w. bush and by that i mean bush himself had actually already moderated and changed a lot of the policies. waterboarding hadn't happened in the second term and also president obama comes in and bans torture but it already actually stopped. president obama wanted to close guantÁnamo and started off that path before he left office and got more detainees moved out of guantÁnamo and president obama did. he got the congress to approve the surveillance program everybody objected to and the times broke a story about ultimately the safeguards and senator obama voted for it. so, the tribunals the court had rejected were recast and put through congress and congress bought into it. president bush spent a lot of time in the second term trying to moderate the program and get rid of the harshest extreme edges people objected to so republican or democrat wouldn't feel the need to throw it all out. cheney object and actually fought tooth and nail in the second term against a lot of the decisions he made and w

i was reviewing the ancient history on george w. bush' tax cuts, which he got in 2001, and that was a situation where we had two fewer republican votes in the senate than now. it was a straight 50-50 votes. there were two republicans out of commission who cannot make the boat and we only have one republican votes against the tax package. it was john mccain. always good to remember history. we've got 12 democrats and it was because george w. bush paid attention to detail and worked the hill himself and did not rely on the house and senate leadership. he worked himself to pick up every one of those 12 democratic votes. i do not know that we will have democratic support, but it will take that same efforts, leadership by the president, likeronald reagan in 1981, george w. bush in 2001, it will take that leadership from president trump to get his tax cut to 2017. that thinks the question in healthy searches for votes. do you know how he will have the will to do that? >> asked me that questio

richard, in your position as the former chief white house ethics lawyer for president george w. bush, what do you want to see happen from the white house as a result of this? do you expect anything to happen? should something happen? >> there ought to be more police presence down there. if we need support from federal troops, we're going to have to do that. president eisenhower was more than willing to do that when necessary to deal with these types of racists' assemblies that got violent. second, the president needs to dismiss everyone in his administration who has any association with the so-called alt-right, including the breitbart news organization. these are neo-fascist groups. i've known these type of people for 30 years i've been in the republican party, i'm still a republican, but i know these people want to take over the party. steve bannon, sebastian gorka and the rest of them have done extraordinary damage. they are undermining our foreign policy, attacking mcmaster and mattis and the others who are in charge of trying to help us sort out the north korea situation. our cou

i was reviewing the engine history on george w. bush's tax cut, which he got into thousand one. -- the ancient history on george w. bush's tax cut which he got in 2001. there were republicans who couldn't make the vote. we had only one republican boat against -- a vote against the tax package. it was john mccain. we got 12 democrats for it. george w. bush paid attention to detail and worked the hill himself. i don't know that we will have any kind of democrat support for tax reform. it will take that kind of sustained effort and leadership by the president, just like ronald reagan did in 1981, it will take that kind of sustained leadership from president trump to get his tax cut in 2017. >> watching how the president approached the hill, do you have any confidence that he has the will to do that? >> you will have to ask me that question later. >> "washington journal" continues. host: welcome back. we are taking your phone calls this half hour. we will start with the big news of the week here on the front page of "the new york times. ." pr

president george w. bush initiated a signing statements when you sign a bill you put in a signing statement you get to. say that you're not going to agree to many aspects of a bill that's been passed by congress so there's precedent by george w. bush president george w. bush and then by president obama on these signing statements a relatively new phenomenon by presidents but by signing it he was able to put in that statement which you read on your show here parts of it when you're talking about ninety eight senators who voted for these sanctions do you sense that russia phobia and the negative feeling in washington towards russia is so strong right now that if they were to vote against the sanctions that they would go home and and face a commercial that said that they'd rather sad with vladimir putin then the united states i mean is it that politically toxic that they just don't want to deal with it or do they really believe they're going to change russia when it comes to crimea and the ukraine probably the f

george w. bush's tax cut that he got in 2001. that was a situation where we had two fewer republican votes in the senate than we have now. it was a straight 50-50 split. on a final vote in the senate, there were two republicans out of commission who couldn't make the vote. only one republican voted against the tax package. i don't know if you know who it was. it was john mccain. is always good to remember history on these things. we got 12 democrats for it. it was because george w. bush did a huge amount of work, paid attention to detail, and work the hill himself. he did not rely on the house and senate leadership. he worked the hill to pick up every single one of those 12 democratic votes. i don't know that we will have any democratic support for tax reform, but it will take that kind of sustained effort, leadership by the president and just like ronald reagan did in 1981, and just like george w. bush did in 2001, it will take that kind of sustained leadership from president trump to get his tax c

still would be bad well the one thing that makes me think that there might be a possibility is george w. bush oddly enough i mean he's the one who created this mess but when george w. bush was before nine eleven in march of two thousand and one as i recall we had and not just we i mean the biggest actually the country was taking the biggest hit on this was was russia there was an enormous amount of opium that was coming out of afghanistan they were the law they are the look world's largest producer and in two thousand in two thousand they had produce something like eight million tons or eight billion it was eight whatever it was i think it's million tons so mind boggling amount so george w. bush went to mullah omar talked to the taliban and i mean not him but the state department and said we'll give you forty million dollars if you burn the fields now in afghanistan forty million dollars i have a lot of money right there is a country with with an average. per capita income of less than seven hundred dollars a year and the opium production in two thousand and one went down to just a little ove

we saw george w. bush was interviewed informally today and he in 30 seconds rattled off from the top of his head that kind of supportive message that ronald reagan gave after the challenger explosion and barack obama gave after many disasters and george w. bush gave after 9/11. the third thing that presidents usually do and human beings do is have empathy and warmth with people who have lost everything. politicians do things as stage people but most of us have that vibe of fueling, as bill clinton put it, feeling your pain, of just wanting to hold people and see them and bear witness and say that i am the representative of the country but i also am a person. and i'm here to say you've been through something terrible and i'm here to offer support and sympathy and people are better or worse at that. richard nixon wasn't so great. the fact that donald trump didn't even try one of these two things to speak for the country or to deal with the people, there's something unusual about him as a person that i think

two former republican presidents, george bush and his son, george w bush, have released a joint statementalling on the american people to reject racial bigotry, anti—semitism, and hatred in all forms. one woman was killed and 19 people were wounded in the clashes on saturday. our north america editor jon sopel reports. # amazing grace... the memorial service for heather heyer, a protest and moan down by a white supremacist in cha rlottesville on and moan down by a white supremacist in charlottesville on saturday. but farfrom an in charlottesville on saturday. but far from an occasion when a nation comes together, america seems more bitterly divided than ever. they tried to kill my child to shut her up. well, guess what? you just magnified her! this was cha rlottesville magnified her! this was charlottesville on friday night. racist groups chancing juma crowes will not replace us, carrying ku klux klan style torches, although marching to the slogan white lives matter. yesterday the president blamed both sides for the violence that ensued. you had a group on one side and a group on the othe

jeff flake was talking about is that he voted against prescription drugs, he voted against the george w. bush proposals that busted the budget in his view. he views himself as a real conservative. he's making a distinction between conservatism and populism, and i think that's a good conversation to have for republicans as well as democrats. what you're seeing, david, in your precinct and elsewhere and certainly in west virginia which is ground zero of trump country, is, anger against elites. people feeling that they've been passed over, anger, you know, you see the state, the stats on anger against league colleges, even among those college-educated. extraordinary. so it's anger against all of us, the media, as well, and trump has just tapped into that. and i really appreciated that jeff flake said the locker up, those cries at the republican convention by michael flynn no less, the call and response was really a nayier of -- what i
