gibbs was bon philadelphia in 1886. his father was a finance 'er, and gibbs was a shy child, tinkering and doodling in his family's house. his father wanted him to be a lawyer because he didn't think a die seener was a stable profession. then the family had a severe economic reversal, they lose their fortunate and he had to drop out. and he said if i my father hat nod gone bankrupt i would not have the drive i have today to remake myself. so, working his way through columbia do get his ba, and then got his law degree, practiced law for a year and hated it. and then an admiral saw this kid had tall tent, and daryl taught him what he needed to learn, and gibbs moved to new york and started a very successful practice. not designing passenger ships but also naval ships. he designed 70% of all naval vessels built during world war ii. destroyerers, cruisers, the norm normandie landing craft, and their liberty ship, the cargo ship that helped win the war. basically built ships faster than the germans can sink them. that was hi

i loved robert gibbs saying well, these are not cuts in medicare. we are merely cutting the subsidies to insurance companies. wait a minute, you are cutting the subsidies to insurance companies for a program called medicare advantage in order to take and fund subsidies to insurance companies in the exchanges and borrowing it from a program that is already going broke. the republicans are on the offense by depicting this as obama care as a raid on the piggy bank of medicare in order to pay for obama care, taking money from programs to it seniors to pay for healthcare for nonseniors. >> chris: you heard the argument that robert gibbs made which is true you that because of obama care which has the spending cuts and tax increases it extends the hospital part of medicare from 2026 to 224 for 8 years. if you do all of that we are facing insolvency in that part of medicare in four years. how do you see the medicare debate playing out at this point? >> that is a great question, chris. i listened to your previous guests and i think it will play out probably

so mark, we had robert gibbs here earlier today. of the people around this table have had over the past three, four months is that this is a campaign about nothing. this is a campaign about the past. this is a campaign about tax returns. nobody's talking about what's moving forward. you heard what robert said about, okay, what's the president going to do over the next four years to turn things around? i really heard next to nothing. what did you hear? >> i think you'll see a little bit in the convention speeches about a future-looking agenda from both of them, and obviously, three 90-minute debates. but i continue to think we all have to come up with ways, given that these guys rarely have long interviews or long press conferences, we need to come up with a way to make them engage on the big issues of the race, the big issues facing the country, particularly the fiscal cliff. the clock is ticking and i think it's incumbent upon all of us to say, how do we foster that, how do we bring that about? because otherwise the debate's limite
