joseph heller and and he had no reason that anyone can the deuce except he woke up one morning in harrisburg and said this is exciting. we are on the last leg of the journey. where is the president elect? and they said sorry, he is gone. you missed him so all these reporters who had traveled with lincoln all this time were left without a subject to cover and without news to report. it was a rather dicey situation. the times resumed its editorial support of lincoln in his conciliatory inaugural certainly after the attack on fort sumter nearly 150 years ago as we speak today at annapolis. and yet right after for its under and the patriotic exuberance it reported in new york city the new york times ran out of patience with abraham lincoln certainly for the first and perhaps the only time in the succeeding four years. they wrote an editorial called wanted:a leader and lincoln was so upset by it he started a new file on his desk called phyllis articles and put this one in the file. to conceal the fact the administration so far has not met public expectation. tours carrying the country through the

there's a wonderful scene -- a wonderful scene at the end of the war when he -- he came from harrisburg, pennsylvania, and he was hired by what -- by the philadelphia press, which was not a very good newspaper. but he -- he is one of the most -- one of the most dramatic stories i think. richmond had just fallen, and chester -- his in richmond. and he -- the story is datelined all of congress richmond, april 4 from 1865. seated in the speaker's chair, so long dedicated to treason but in the future to be consecrated to loyalty, i ceased to get a rapid sketch of the incidents which have occurred since my last dispatch. here's the servile war's on a black reporter seated in the speaker's chair of the confederate congress. cspan: and richmond? >> guest: in richmond. and at this point, in comes a young confederate officer, sees him seated in the chair and to other reporters have observed this, one of them being my favorite reporter, coffin, and he says come out of there, you black cuss. he calmly surveyed the intruder and went on with his writing. later the guy approach to come chester got up

lincoln tells this group i'm going to harrisburg. i can't change this plan with a young republican governor. he expects me. i've been to every state capital along the route. albany, columbus, you know, indy, indianapolis. lincoln has one possible way out of this. he says why can't we rely on the police force of baltimore? they're going to protect us like every other police force and then he gets the news that i think is the real crusher. mr. lincoln, we can't be sure that when this attack happens -- and it was going to happen when they changed trains. in those days the trains didn't go straight through. you had to go from one station to another. mr. lincoln, we're not sure when push comes to shove, not the expression they used, the police force will probably take the side of the attackers. that's how bad things are in baltimore. you got no votes in maryland. you've got no votes in baltimore. it's hostile territory so lincoln reluctantly agrees. he puts on not a scotch hat but a soft hat that he got in new york. it's always our fault

those guys from east lansing and harrisburg then they are elected out because they are less. that is the problem we have. we don't have kenya. what is the average tenure of this deal? 3.2 years. i am at seven. i have to defy gravity. it is not easy to think long-term deliver short term. to deliver long term and short term. >> you mention the disadvantage is there any one single thing that would make a substantial debt to. >> one of my at their day jobs with the business roundtable is a aggregation of fortune 500 ceos showing a roadmap. which talks about the five buckets which is a piece of each and for example, is a lack of energy policy. just do give the example lack of energy policy i consumed 850,000 barrels a barrel per day that is like a country. in dollar terms depending on the price of oil, 80 bucks a barrel that means my input cost is about $25 billion but if i make it quarterly that is 6 billion and if i take off the tax earnings per share with a 10% variation it is roughly $1 per share but might earnings per quarter are about $0.80 per share. i have no way to predic

host: harrisburg, pennsylvania, on our line for democrats. caller: that fellow just before me was exactly making my point. americans have become a bunch of chickens. the president wanted the trial -- they are not an army. the world -- word of war came from george bush. these guys are terrorists. they committed a crime in new york. they should have been tried in new york. they should have been judged by their peers in new york and convicted. guantanamo, it is an eyesore -- guantanamo is the reason for the terrorist threats. host: eddie in hazard, kentucky. what do you think about moving the trial to guantanamo bay? caller: it is a good idea for the military to try this case because with this attack on 9/11 -- became to our soil. more than 2000 people lost their lives in new york city. and i would also like to say this right here, that it is time for this bickering of both parties -- i think the bickering between mitch mcconnell and the speaker of the house -- they ought to give the president of the united states more respect. he is the command

host: harrisburg, pa., weighing on the democrats call -- democrats line.aller: i agree with everything this lady just said. she had everything is on the button. my problem is the new republicans that canyon, they go hand-in-hand with the old democrats. where are there new ideas? that is what i want to know. host: i am not sure who it says the old democrats are. thank you for agreeing with much of what i said. some of the new republicans here in washington are not interested in compromise or finding a common ground. they are insisting on their way or no way, and that is not a good way to run the government. host: our next call is john, republican line, st. petersburg, florida. caller: thank god for c-span. i have just one question -- whose idea was it to drop the cost of food and energy from the cost of living calculation? that resulted in two years of social security benefits without a raise? host: how was that impacted you? caller: i am retired. please, i did not want any generalities. i do not want political speech or double talk. all i want is the truth
