years in television, i saw a shift of awareness in the white house of the latino importance with george w. obama has been far better from my perspective at reaching out to spanish-language media. the interview that i do it with him is in english and it airs on msnbc and on nbc. he does cnn, you chime in in both languages. i think this white house has really made some huge efforts in reaching out to media. >> they know all the statistics you just rattled off. that will be part of the strategy. >> it is basically kabul together -- cobbled together. how do you get creative online? you have to work. obama has been great of online. >> yes, sir. >> a lot of the discussion has been tamped down to local strategy. with the latest wave of immigration from mexico, it has been dispersed through the united states. traditionally it has gone through loss angeles and the agriculture areas -- los angeles. >> you're speaking about mexican americans? >> i am talking about undocumented labor. they have been so widely dispersed. one has to been more of a bottom-up kind of movement? >> to do what? >> to get the kind

obama had nothing to do with that factory. jobs in ohio have gone up since he has been president. their unemployment rate is 7.6. that factory was closed under the presidency of george wefore obama even took office. >> oops. [ laughter ] >> they knew, right? >> they had to. >> so their weird campaign strategy is i know we shut down the factory, but shouldn't you blame the president for not reopening it. >> it is a gymson plant. they want to find something about mitt that is common with him, and it is not happening. >> absolutely. final conclusion cookie-get a, not guilty. factory-gate, guilty. coming back there's drama in the republican caucus. there are whispers eric cantor believes some fellow republicans have been anti-semantic. ♪ (vo) now, it's your turn.

but they have two presidents clinton and obama versus none because romney is not a president and he can't use the former president because it's george wa, he really has no choice here. he has to embrace some of the hard hitting tactics that we've seen in recent campaigns in 2004 for bush and the '96 campaign for clinton. gout roll up your sleeves and get down in the muck and throw some punches. these ad that focus on the osama bin laden killing and president obama taking credit for it, and maybe he's going to defy your characterization a little bit and start getting tougher and baring teeth a little bit. >> i'm not impervious to facts. i was skeptical that president obama was going to be a tough campaigner. but you know what democrats in the past would runaway if you said, how could you bring this national security up. he's not running away. he's doubling down. maybe i was wrong. >> you know, he's hitting back at romney before he's officially the nominee, and i'm waiting for john kerry to hit back at george bush. he would not even let him use the word marvelous. obama is on him. and he attacks mitt romney for his positions nobody woul

george w. bush years. with the iraq war, the torture, with deficit, with, with, were, choose your poison. the last time they had a choice between barack obama a party associated with george w. bush, they lost in a land slide. today, the party's nominee from that year was on the turkish border demanding that they get in a fight. every day she does not work in politics except as a commentator. he was supposed to be mitt romney's big day in the sun. this is the last day in the world the romney campaign would want america to have a big visual reminder of george w bush republicanism. beyond there being bad things about the bush era, mitt romney has a different problem of there being some relatively good things about the george w. bush era, at least when you compare those things to mitt romney. he ahead a real effort to cultivate the latino vote. they are not a traditionally republican constituency. in 2004, he got 44% of the latino vote in the general election. that's a lot for the republican. in the next election, republicans got shillacked. the republican proportion dropped to 31% and the republicans lost the election badly. now, now look at h

george w. bush and president barack obama. and the party's over because of gsa deputy administrator susan brita, an obama appointee who blew the whistle and took this matter to the inspector general. and the party is over because the new acting administrative gsa, mr. daniel tangherlini is a no-nonsense leader from the u.s. department of the treasury who aims to clean up this mess. this is not the first episode of misconduct at the gsa. the carter administration uncovered one in 1978 and 1979 when a nationwide investigation noose long-standing corruption resulted in prosecutions for bribery, for fraud, and protections for whistleblowers in the agency. then there was more misconduct during the bush administration. the first occurred when the chief of staff to the gsa administrator traveled with jack abramoff to scotland even though mr. abramoff had business before the gsa. in 2011, this chief of staff went to prison. in 2006, the bush appointed gsa administrator steered a contract to a friend and. and in 2007, she organized a p

george w. bush and obama. people are no longer trusted the legitimacy of the winner and that is a dangerous thing. we think we are strong democracy but we are relatively young. there is no country quite as diverse as the united states. so many different ethnic groups with regional differences. democracy in america is fairly fragile so is important to maintain these traditions and keep as unified and understand government might not be the government we want this year but legitimate government, what the the basic -- we will come backs -- if we ever lose that we're going to see some terrible problems in our elections. i mentioned the other way sometimes losers have more impact than winners is losers are more prophetic and winners. often. as of wants to come up with new ideas and the winners are stuck in the policies of the past. i argue every major program in our political system was first talked about by the losing campaign. it has to gain public acceptance. it is radical and difficult to absorber. another way t

george w. bush and his successor obama doing the right thing by pursuing morris and in some cases currently considered. you know once now i think the difference is in world war two putting aside the specifics of that particular war the technology of warfare meant that if you're going to fight a war you're going to need millions and millions of people we had millions and millions of unemployed people we basically took half of them in one thousand nine hundred forty one and put them in uniform and the other half we put into factories to produce the uniforms and the guns and the bullets and all the rest today warfare for political and technological reasons does not require large numbers of people it is both politically dangerous to get large numbers of people involved and it is not necessary for the kind of high tech warfare that we now specialize in as a nation so warfare isn't going to do the job of the wars in afghanistan and iraq and even the one threatened with iran now are not the kinds of war that will soak up the unemployment in the united states and so it doesn't represent itself as a solution y

if you compare new regulations under the obama administration, say wonder the george w. bush administration, george w. bush would be the overregulator. president obama has been out on the stump this week, talking about how he has reduced taxes on businesses 17 times since he has been in office. but regardless of the truth of what he is saying, look at the tactic of what he's saying. he's saying if you're concerned about flip-flopping, president obama is the guy you ought to be worried about. he's the flip-flopper. mr. romney also as a man who has elevators for his cars, who has a $100 million or so trust fund for his sons, who makes $10,000 bets, who says that $374,000 in speaking fees income was not very much money to him, a man whose single funniest story about the midwest is about the hilarious time that his dad closed a factory and the voters got mad about it. the man who easily talks about how much he personally likes to fire people, mitt thurston howell romney iii has been accused of being a little out of touch with the common man. but now, because this is his only

that is going to give him in a funny way less running room than an obama or george w. bush would have. when you talk about something like the public option, one thing obama was able to do with democrats, he was comfortable enough that he wouldn't be primary challenged, wouldn't face a serious liberal result. hehad good enough relations with pelosi and reid to say i'm going to go back on some things liberals want to get this through. this is something mcconnell and others have implied, that romney if elected, given how much better republicans are at primarirying their own and how much left trust he is going to have to hugh to the republican majority. >> and establish his conservative bon feed des even when he's in office. we'll find out what happens. maybe we won't. after the break, some are calling him the president whisperer. is former president bill clinton the secret weapon for president obama? that's a rhetorical question. we'll discuss next. if you're one of those folks who gets heartburn and then treats day after day... well, shoot, that's like checking on your bu

. >> the charge from the obama-biden campaign is mitt romney has george w. foreign policy agenda and take us back to that foreign policy. romney has 24 announced advisors on foreign policy. 17 of the 24 are george w. bush administration foreign policy people. the obama campaign sees that as a vulnerability. their narrative today, hitting mitt romney for being advised by these george bush people. the counter from the romney campaign? >> we have dan senoh, ambassador prosper -- >> two of the three advisors the romney campaign put out to counter mr. romy will have a george w. bush for ren policies, two were george w. bush for ren policy advisors. dan senor was the guy telling everybody the war was awesome and the other to be america's ambassador to the world on war crime issues while the administration was setting up secret prisons and torturing people. >> unless you believe mitt romney's foreign policy will be anything like george bush's foreign policy lets the george bush foreign officials advising mitt romney that that is not the case. chris hayes, up with c

george w. bush, and obama, people are questioning the legitimacy of the winner and that's a dangerous thing for this country. we think we're a strong democracy but we're a young democracy and no country quite as diverse as the united states in terms of having so many different ethnic groups, different regional differences. so i actually believe our democracy in america is fairly fragile, and so it's very important we maintain these traditions to try to keep us unified. keep us understanding that the government may not be the government we wanted this year but it's a legitimate government and we'll let them govern and let them do the basic elements of governing and come back the next election and try to beat them. if we ever lose that i do believe we're going to see some terrible, terrible problems in our elections. i mentioned the other way that sometimes losers have more impact than winners is often losers are more prophetic then the winners. the losers come up with the new ideas and the winners stuck in the policy of the past. i argue every major program in our political system would be first

congress would have gone along but he didn't even bother you just act like a dictator just like obama and george w. bush and all the rest of the stuff they just issued the edict and say let it be so it's like a pharaoh or or an absolute monarch so that's the way they would do it we face possible capital controls. all kinds and all kinds of other dramatically. worse if we can imagine that regulations the controls on those that exist at the present time that will of poverty for americans impoverished regular people in europe regular americans here benefit the government's benefits the big banks benefit the oligarchs like warren buffett well you mentioned nixon and that you compared him to current president so is this any worth or is this just then a same thing the same way that's always been well it's worse than in civil liberties terms that would mean they were the average american is far less privacy for example than under nixon but nixon was you know a paving stone on this path and a very important one he did a lot of tremendous expansion of the executive branch which was always the most danger t

obama is just what president obama's justice department excuse me as conducted nearly two hundred raids on marijuana facilities roughly the same amount conducted during george w. bush's eight years in office and president obama's raids have occurred in nine of sixteen states plus the district of columbia that have passed medical marijuana laws leading to sixty one federal indictments all since october of two thousand and nine most recently just this month the justice department raided and shut down the legal marijuana trade school known as day and university in oakland california without giving a single reason yet as to why it was shut down so where exactly does our drug war stand today as public support for marijuana legalization reaches new heights if federal crackdowns continue. even needleman is the executive director of the drug policy alliance and he joins me now to talk more about this issue ethan welcome well it's a slow it's obviously to be great to have you on so we have high public approval for legalization. colorado california they're all poised they're both poised to vote on ballot initiatives in november to legalize marijuana yet the federal rat

george w. bush or barack obama on iran, and he could be trouble for nato as well. so there are consequences for us. as you rightly say, there could be a real problem between germany and france. >> you know what, nick, on the economy, the trouble is france is in recession, sarkozy has been acting like a socialist, why do i say that sarkozy has been raising taxes. he talks about taxing rich people, talks about the value-added tax. he's all austerity. i think the french don't see a way out of the recession, and sarkozy's own center-right allies are running away from him, nick. >> austerity is very unpopular, as you can imagine, and the eu is unpopular, and he accept hezbollahs the eu, so hollande is running a smart campaign. he's appealing to the french, saying i can create 150,000 subsidized jo, for young people. i'll raise taxes to 75%, he says on peel emearning more than 1 million euro a year. he'll undo some of the reforms that sarkozy put in place three, four years ago. it will be a dramatic change. >> all that stuff, i agree with, from what i've read. that will

george w. bush. >> that's president obama getting in some laughs at last night's white house correspondents dinner.re part of a mohs exclusive and cordial club. a bestseller "the pretsidents club." joining me now is michael duffy and deaf put chief nancy gibbs. thank you both so much. let me start out with the relationship between former president bush and current president obama. what did you find out about that? >> well, you know, the interesting thing is from the minute that obama was elected, president bush made it clear that he wanted to help with the transition. he actually gadgetered the whole club together for sort of a member "showbiz flashpoint" initiation. and at that time president bush said, you know, we all want you to succeed. this is something we saw again and again and again in all the presidents that they looked at. they want to help the next guy. after that he's worked very hard not to make life more difficult for president obama. >> yet these guys are on different sides of issues. there's long-standing sort of friction between them and their partisans because they ran against ea

george w. bush like to score, barack obama crushes. >> right. >> mitt romney.n policy issues, it is almost as if people are -- they are very easily persuaded depending on the day of the esh u. >> right. problems facing the country are very big. we know about them, especially viewers of this show know about them in infinite detill. if you ask people if they like the direction of the country or think the economy is going well or think the president is doing a good job, with the economy or foreign policy, let's leave out foreign policy, on the economy and jobs, he scores low. because people can't feel and they don't see this economic recovery that we're talking about. on the other hand, they personally like the president. if people are asked, do you have a favorable impression of him his numbers are always above 60%. and that tells me that no matter how bad the unemployment numbers are or the economic numbers, if the green shoots aren't as high as the administration would like them to be around november, the idea that the president's approval rating is so high mea
