and lean jimmy won again. at which point polk looks finished, he looks totally washed up, and his only hope to resurrect his career was to cadge the vice presidential nomination. in those days people actually ran for the vice presidency, it wasn't just anointed by the presidential candidate. so he tries to get the vice presidential nomination, things aren't going very well, and then i note that tyler began the annexation of texas. and two things happened, well, three things really. the country really galvanized behind that idea, and the idea of the onward expansion to the pacific, number one. number two, martin van buren came out against it, said, "the time is not right." number three, henry clay came out against it, and it really destroyed the presidential prospects of both van buren and clay, and polk became the compromise candidate of the democratic convention in baltimore in 1844. >> what ballot did he win on? >> ninth. >> and van buren had been president, what years? >> he was elected after jackson, so th

it was the coach's son, jimmy baron, who now plays in turkey. he carried the rams scoring 21 of his 24 in the second half. john shir had 24 for duke and the devils were leading by one. baron with a shot for the win, missed it after two key free throws. team was running out. he had one last chance to tie the game and fell short. 82-79 was the final. this is a legit basketball team. >> mike: you know, jim baron, they're playing oklahoma state this year. so they krael amp up their nonconference schedule. >> tim: when you think of the teams always there in that league and the success they've had in the tournament, getting into the top three of the a-10, pretty tough. >> mike: temple today beating nova by ten points, number three. >> tim: sanders, nice inbounds play and boston college. sanders now with six. >> mike: i think boston college is out of siync. they're still trying to work their way into a new rhythm. >> tim: there's outerbridge, baseline extended. not there. ravenel is hammered. outerbridge got him and will pick up the foul. esche ravenel

he eviscerated the trust-me government of jimmy carter. what the republicans have to understand is that they have to take it to the trust-me government of barack obama. >> okay. i'm sorry. [inaudible] >> what were reagan's views and his position on -- [inaudible] >> on federal reserve? >> what were his views in the federal reserve? and all the income tax? >> well, he was once asked in 1980 about a particular tax cut and he says, i favor a tax cut anytime. i don't know what his -- well, but he reformed it in 1986 when he was president and, of course, in 1981, the tax system was the top marginal rate was 70%. he brought that down to, you know, the high 20s. so we knew what his attitude was about the tax system. and also, of course, you had, you know, the series of rising steps on the tax system and it was simplefied down to three simple tax rates. [inaudible] >> well, let me just say one thing. i don't know if i can address that specifically except that ronald reagan was always suspicious of any concentration of power, whatsoever. he saw a c

will he turn out like jimmy carter? i don't -- i love jimmy carter. but jimmy carter was a one-term president, and i'm hoping that obama will be a to termed president. and i think he will be, and i love jimmy carter to much to answer this question honestly. so i will just move on to the next one. [laughter] >> these are the last two questions. >> do you believe in political cycles or is the process more random than that, and if you do do you think we are in the middle of a sustained political shift that would go beyond just one or two terms or do you think we are in the middle of some other type of political long-term change and what is that? >> i hope that we are -- i think the fury of political cycles and the swaying back and forth there's less than meets the eye. when you have donato two-league system, two-party system, it has to go back and forth. and by the way that is something that worries me about what is happening in the republican party. and the takeover of the republican party by the rush limbaugh, sarah palin, sean hannity types because th

jimmy prancing around him in debates. at one point, polk suggested that his brand of politics was more suited to a circus. and then he says, you are right, we both belong in the circus. i would be the clown and you would be that little guy and a red suit, riding around on a pony. wing jimmy knocks him out. now his career is released all. he had been on the side of history and enter jackson, and he ran again hoping to get the governorship that. lean jimmy and wins again. he feels washed up. the only hope to resurrect his career was to catch the vice- presidential nomination. people actually ran for the vice presidency in those days. so he tries to get the vice- presidential nomination. things are not going very well. and then i note that tyler began the annexation of texas. two things happen. three things, really. the country really galvanized behind that idea, the idea of on with expansion to the pacific. no. 2, martin van buren came out against it. he said at the time was not right. and then click came out against it. an

gerald ford lost to jimmy carter. the republican party has been decimated in the ticket races of 76 and compounded by the fact they've been decimated in '74. and 1977 only one state in america has republican control of the governors appeared legislature, that's kansas. 49 other states had mir or total democratic control of the state governments. there's states in the south that don't even have elected republicans in office. that is how bad it days. and only 18% of the american people claim allegiance to the party and only 11% of the voters under 30 clean allegiance to the republican party. so, regan looks at the landscape and says we can do better than this. so, he goes out and starts giving speeches about the new republican party that he envisioned, the republican party envisioned cannot be the party of the corporate board room, it cannot be the part of the country club. it's got to be the party of the individual, not the state. it's got to be the party of the man on the street, the homemaker, the shopkeeper, the ent

starting in january, 1977, now, gerald ford has lost to jimmy carter.the republican party has been dismated by the election and one state in republican has republican control of the governorship and the legislature and that's kansas. 49 other states have either near or total democratic control. of their state governments. there are states in the south that don't even have elected republicans in any constitutional office. that's how bad off it is. and only 18% of the american people claim allegiance to the republican party and only 11% of voters under 30 claim allegiance to the republican party. so reagan looks at the landscape and says, we can do better than this. so he goes out there and he starts giving speeches about the new republican party that he envisioned. the new republican party i visioned cannot be the party of the corporate board room or the party of the country club. it's got to be the party of the individual and not the state and the man on the street, the cop on the street, the homeowner, the entrepreneur. it cannot be the party it's been

lean jimmy one again. at which point, he looks finished.pe to resurrect his career was to catch the vice- presidential nomination. so he tries to get the vice- presidential nomination. that did not go very well. i note that tyler began the annexation of texas. three things happened. the country galvanized behind that idea and the idea that the expansion to the specifipacific. henry clay came out against it, and it really destroyed the presidential prospects of the yen. and clay. -- it really destroyed presidential prospects for a van buren and clay. >> van buren had been president what years? >> he was elected in 1936. he was defeated in 1940. >> you wanted to run again. he was a democrat. you mentioned terex earlier. any party today want to put tariffs into the mix? >> they are a big issue today as a free trader position versus people who are called protectionist. that continues with us today, but there in mind that was the primary source of revenue for our country in those days. we did not have an income tax. this was a little bit like th

and just like that, the lead catapults to double digits again for jimmy baron. time-out, bc. >> mike: and the body language for boston college is not very good right now. a lot of slumped shoulders and looking around at one another. >> tim: another 9-3 run for rhode island. they're a team that goes on spurts. that's the kind of basketball that they play. boston college cut it to four. rhode island said, we're going to play our game. >> mike: there's that high screen roll, a nice shot right there. and then out in the open floor, you can just see that bc isn't getting to people at this point. that is just an easy look on the second pass of the possession for jamal wilson. >> tim: let's go over to jenn hildreth. >> jenn: you were talking about the body language by the boston college players. there's a fine line between maintaining your composure and not having enough effort. i'm not sure where these eagles fall along that line right to you. if you look at loose balls and who's winning that battle, it's almost always gone to rhode island, especially in this half so

he didn't get elected, jimmy carter did. republican president since and i think we need all kinds of reform. i spoke up years ago when we started buying steel from japan and said we're pricing ourselves out much the market. we drove up the cost of everything and look where we are today. i had seven sons and the oldest one thing is 61 now. they were all born in a hospital and i was only getting a dollar an hour. i was a smallti-time cattle rancher. but i didn't have health insurance for the first one. but they were born in the hospital and i paid my bill and i walked out of the hospital. but everything costs too much now. everything they talk about jobs, we priced ourselves out muof th market. but i did want to say that haven't listened to "washington journal," in 1980 i was a cattle rancher from the badland and i was interviewed by somebody from "the washington post" and he pointed out that i kept up on politics by watching c-span. host: thanks and brian is still on the air. he hosts q&a every sunday night so i hope you will

i think whether president obama is better than jimmy carter or clinton is inconsequence. what we are dealing with now is the fact there are a lot of african-americaning to that are looking to for president obama to be the political form of ju does that makes the streets flow with milk and honey. we need to push for the congress and the senate to be sensitive to the needs of the african-americans. there is a lot of work that the community is not doing. us not looking to be able to create fundamental partnerships. there are a lot of the solutions out there that are available that we are not aproemping because we are looking for president obama to wave a magic wand and fix everything. >> larry: let's take a call. linkburg, virginia,hello. >> caller: now they the african-americans have elected the first black president, will that lose appeal in the 2012 election? >> that is what i do not want to see, a decrease. african-american does not elect their first black president. america elected the first black fought be the president of everyone. and we fought for the opportunity to

speaking of brooklyn, jimmy baron is from brooklyn. we were sharing conversation today.big al mcguire fan, big colleague of ours. we miss al. jimmy went to the same high school as al in brooklyn. high school coach was there for 41 years. trapani using the glass. >> i would like to see the attendance record for al in high school. >> evidently, i'll say this, on the way to school, al turned to the left and everybody else turned to the right. not quite three minute gone, boston college leading by one. delroy james, not there. trapani collects his second rebound of the night. >> we talked about tempo. so far this game, i said it early on, but it is very much in bc's favor. this is how they want to play. harris trying to utilize that screen to his benefit and stays with it. nice job by biko paris, pushing the issue. >> jim baron was concerned about rebounding, especially on the offense glass. we saw boston college destroy miami in that category last week, outread reigh bounding them by 25. >> ulmer stays with it. sort of a pass to himself off of the backboard. his first bucke

carter as the man who helped found habitat for humanity then think of jimmy carter is a president.you want to talk about a community, like changing tool, it is the incredible partnership of mayors all around the country apart during with different organizations to go in and transform neighborhoods. government can do common-sense things. one of the smartest things i did as mayor, maybe the only smart thing, i put a moratorium on immoral laws. if you pull americans and as "our top problems are, never will it be that we don't have enough regulations. i asked people what we are doing that drives them crazy. what are we doing that stands in the way of helping people? sometimes, government and some of our rules and regulations can stand in the way to people helping one another. we want to take inventory. my father used to say if you're not going to use your shovel, get out of the way. one of the things that jean said and it is a powerful organizing tool and it is easier to put people together with information. combining those are things and being more rigorous in our outrage and not bein

andy warhol and president jimmy carter and it looks like a andy warhol portrait of carter; correct? >> that's correct. andy warhol painted these portraits, limited edition portraits of jimmy carter and the carter presidential campaign basically treated them for political donations are on the country and it was a wise thing to do at the time politically speaking because the country had just gone through watergate and the were distrustful of any one from washington or anything that represented washington and i don't think that you can get any further away from washington and andy warhol and so this actually was tremendously effective for carter raising money and was credited. he credit himself as being one of the financial turnaround of his entire presidential campaign selling these andy warhol prince. >> khator date of tomorrow political strategist. do you ever tell your clients to invoke a celebrity endorsement? >> no. i stay away from that. but, you know, we live in the age where obama and obra were 18 and mike huckabee and chuck norris for a team so it doesn't matter whether your

i think whether president obama is better than jimmy carter or clinton is inconsequential.hat we are dealing with now is as we move out of 2009 and into 2010, is the fact that there are a lot of african-americans that are looking for president obama to be the political form of jesus that makes the streets flow with milk and honey. while i think that mark has a point where we need to begin pushing for not just the president but the congress and the senate to be sensitive to the needs of the african-americans, there's a lot of work that the african-american community is not doing. leadership that's disconnected. us not looking to be able to create fundamental partnerships between the public and private sector. there are a lot of the solutions out there that are available that we are not approaching because we are looking for president obama to wave a magic wand and fix everything. >> larry: let's take a call. lynchburg, virginia, hello. >> caller: i was just wondering now that african-americans have elected their first black president, will that lose appeal in the 2012 electi

it's andy warhol and president jimmy carter, and it looks like a warhol portrait of carter, correct? >> that's correct. you know, andy warhol painted these portraits of, limited edition port traits of jimmy carter, and the carter presidential campaign basically traded them for political donations around the country. and, you know, it was a wise thing to do at the time politically speaking because the country had just gone through watergate, and really they were very distrustful of anyone from washington or anything that represented washington. and i don't think that you can get any farther away from washington than andy warhol. so this actually was tremendously effective for carter in raising money. it actually was credited -- he credited it himself as being one of the financial turn arounds of his entire presidential campaign, selling these prints. >> your day job you're a political strategist. do you ever tell your clients to invoke a celebrity endorsement? >> no, i really stay away from that. but, you know, in -- we live sort of in the age where obama and oprah were a team and mik

guest: i swear the fella like jimmy carter.guestchairman, thank you r being with us. >> eamon javers will discuss the economy. john taylor investigates government efforts to help homeowners modifying their mortgages. matthew levitt discusses the arrest of several americans and pakistan, an author walton francis talks about his book, " putting medicare in charge prat." >> david axe was embedded with the u.s. army in afghanistan in october. he followed them on training missions. this was from lobar province, a mostly agricultural region south of kabul. >> it boils down to checkpoints. you set up a cheap "-- a checkpoint and you just sat there and keep an eye on things. you can walk a place down -- lock up place down. you can solve a lot of problems by just keeping an eye on the check point, really. checkpoints can be terribly boring. u.s. forces tend to delegate a lot of checkpoints to the afghan forces. that is something that they can handle. it is a pretty rudimentary task. they can sit there 24 hours a day and the americans wi

shirley follows his defeat from 1976 to his election over incumbent president jimmy carter.the ronald reagan presidential library in simi valley, california is the host of this hour-long event. >> all right. now, craig and i are going to do something -- hopefully you will find fun rather than him getting up and giving a long 30-minute speech

the same with clinton and jimmy carter. it is a tough year for the incumbents. just to pick up on what did it was saying, one positive sign for democrats this election is not to let. [laughter] because i don't think the president is responsible for these problems but he ownes them. it goes to work democrats and republicans are as far as what their leadership is. democrats have an advantage that they do have the presidency. it is what is interesting looking at democrats is the reaction to the afghanistan speech. half of the party in congress did not support that speech, but they are going to move forward and they will be with the president. if you look at the midterm elections, there is more of a struggle. it is the scariest thing in the world to me that these people will use common sense and take a candidate and emphasize his strengths. and you also have new york 23 where republicans won the election and overplayed their hand because there is part of the party that believes being practical does not make sense, you have to be on the far right. that struggle will

each one of these artists, coltrane, adderley, davis, bill evans, wynton kelley, paul chambers and jimmy cobb, all became musical leaders in their own right and they were experimenting. they were, what was once call be-bop, now progressive jazz, then went on to -- some went on to mortal jazz, which i'm still finding out what that's all about. they usually take chords of a song, sometimes a ballad or popular song and then substitute chords, and then you get this creative improvisation of what their interpretation of the song means to them. that's what modern jazz is, of course, all about. so with the event that the congressional black caucus had work the only living musician from that historic recording, gives us a chance and an opportunity to understand what this contribution to music means to the american cultural scene. jazz is celebrated all over the world. i introduced a resolution, a concurrent resolution on jazz, h.r. 57, i forgot what year now , but it was passed in both the house and senate, and it celebrated this contribution, musical contribution that's been appreciated, reinte

former vice president al gore and former president jimmy carter. from 1964 is a voice that really casts into sharp relief the failures of leadership on capitol hill now. you look at senators who were supposedly raising questions about the president's policies for afghanistan and their relatively weak voice is. really, what he was raising in that interview resonates today. article one, section 8 of the u.s. constitution says it is up to the congress to decide whether the u.s. goes to war and stays there. that is through the power of purse and appropriations process. the resolution to be invoked next month on in capitol hill in the house by congressman dennis kucinich and several others really raises and sharpens that question. i think that while he is no longer with morris, will be there in spirit as this resolution comes to the floor. host: will joins us from london. caller: thank you for receiving michael. i have two questions. the first is [unintelligible] with the advent of new technology we can find out any piece of information or news developm

. >> and i remember a speech when he ran against jimmy carter where he really laid out almost of the principles that the democrats were fighting for all this year for this mess and at the end of his life one of his greatest regrets was and it's one of the most consequential sloets any of us will ever take and none of us take ta lightly. the people who wrote this bill were proud of it and an unnamed version or university the bill doesn't say where and no one will step forward to name it. and just one insurance company in his state. do you think that's fair to all of your states. the year after the debate started a few people would have imagined that this is how a couple of cheap deals, a couple of cheap deals and a rush vote at 1:00 in the morning. by that's where you are. and americans are wondering tonight how did this happen? how did this happen? i'd like to take a moment to explain to the american people how we got here, to explain what happened and, yes, what is happening now. now, everyone in this chamber agrees that we have health care. the question is how. some want us to tack

that was jimmy carter 1976 and obama's 2008. not clinton, truman, not jfk and if you go back further on the fdr, lbj, carter and obama exceeded the 50% mark. i think they're real majority the un-young, un-black, un-poor majority worked well for the republican party. it worked well because democrats succeeded. think of that for a moment. the new deal was geared to a nation that was 1/3 ill clad or ill housed or ill nourished. there was work to do and that was successful. by 1980 we had a relatively prosperous middle-class suburban country that was not worried about what government ought to be doing for them, but saw themselves as the proprietors of government that taxed too much thomas been too much and put on the green eye shades of government. of course, ronald reagan is such a good example of that journey from the new deal democrat as he was to expounding a reagan revolution parker a fair real majority is over. it is over. three big revolutions are happening in the united states today. first, we have a new demography. that rev

the same with clinton and jimmy carter. it is a tough year for the incumbents. just to pick up on what did it was saying, one positive sign for democrats this election is not to let. [laughter] because i don't think the president is responsible for these problems but he ownes them. it goes to work democrats and republicans are as far as what their leadership is. democrats have an advantage that they do have the presidency. it is what is interesting looking at democrats is the reaction to the afghanistan speech. half of the party in congress did not support that speech, but they are going to move forward and they will be with the president. if you look at the midterm elections, there is more of a struggle. it is the scariest thing in the world to me that these people will use common sense and take a candidate and emphasize his strengths. and you also have new york 23 where republicans won the election and overplayed their hand because there is part of the party that believes being practical does not make sense, you have to be on the far right. that struggle will

after all, we survived jimmy carter. [cheers and applause] it doesn't matter how many slick press conference as the left has and their cronies in the democratic arty. it doesn't matter how much they vilify us. when it comes to standing up for our freedom and our basic rights, we will not be denied. we will not be silenced. [cheers and applause] and let me just tell you. i don't know about all of you over there but i think about christmas and hanukkah and i think of the season as the christmas and hanukkah season of giving, right? all these people know how to do is take, take, and take. and let me tell you something, does anyone should get a lump of coal in their stocking this year, if senators reid, boxer, schumer, and now joe lieberman. [cheers and applause] and barney frank, that's just a given. let me just tell you something. they are noddy and we are nice. and we are voters who are making our list and checking it twice. we are gathered today to declare anew our independence. and for the nice part the dinosaur media.

he was in charge of the new federalism for richard nixon and civil service reform for jimmy carter. ronald reagan came in and actually put the whitdwight in . he was kidnapped once by colombian drug lords while leading the war on drugs in the state department. soon after he retired. one story i love about dwight, he was in a meeting when kennedy was first elected. they did not have the national security council. he was sitting in on the limited nuclear test ban treaty. in that meeting, arthur schlesinger was there, the president's historian, very close to the kennedy family. dwight was arguing for the limited nuclear test ban treaty, and schlesinger was arguing against it. they got into really heated argument, and after the meeting, dwight went back and tendered his resignation. he peered they would not want him around any longer. -- figured they would not want him around any longer. the funny thing was, during the meeting, who was looking over -- he was looking over and realize that bobby kennedy was watching. he thought he would have to have another career and go into the private

bum we want to throw out and one of the the reasons why, bill clinton was elected and the same with jimmy carter. it is a bipartisan feeling that we do this. and i think you know, it is -- it is a tough year for the incumbents. to pick up on what i think david and adam were saying, one positive sign for the democrats, one positive sign is the election is a while from now. i don't think the president is responsible for the problems but he owns them because he's the president. there's no getting around that. the second thing and it geese to democrats and republicans and where they are as far as figuring out what they want to do and what their o-their leadership is. democrats have an advantage, that they do have the presidency as far as message orientation. and they had, there's a lot of negatives there. and i think if you -- as to what is really interesting looking at democrats is the reaction to the afghanistan speech. fully 50% of the party in congress did not support that speech. but do you know what? they're swallowing it and moving forward they're going to be with the president of the

last time i remember -- and i may be wrong -- that government tried to investigate was during that jimmy carter's administration when he was investigating the gao, the gsa, what ever it was. i have heard, and please correct me if i am wrong, because it is a frightening number, that our medicare system has fraud in the b, billions of dollars. that would pay for a lot of them are rise. am i correct? -- pay for a law mri -- a lot of mri's. am i correct? and a big hammer investigation, paying $500 for hammers in the military and the sets. what energy and time is spent in our government at the federal level investigating and stopping fraud in each and every department? are we spending as much time there as we spent debating issues, saving >> through investigating fraud? >> i think that we can do better on medicare fraud. and medicaid fraud. there is fraud, providers to pay for -- bill for people and patients that they never saw. we can put more resources behind that. that was actually done in the clinton administration when donna shalala was secretary. and then it slipped behind. it makes doc

three yearsater and it's lower by 21 points th george herbert walker sh and lowethan 10 points by jimmy carter was at this time bo of whom were denied a second rm, so when he talksbout the long-term, he'talking about 2012 whereas democts who are nervouright now are on the ballot in 20. >> bro: was it a good year for american politics? >> not ectly. we've had a bad -- a badecade for american politics. >> brown: you don't know - decade -- >> bad two centuries -- it's been fine. you know, the angeafter the fight for healthare is worse than ever, he promised new age, we're not red arica, we're not blue americathat hasn't word out, not his fault, as long as you ve a congress run by john boehn and nancy pelosi y're going to have a partisan congressas long as you promote your adership on the basis of fund-raising y're going to ha this. don't necessarily blame him but it hasn't worked out. >>rown: bad year, indifferent year? >> it was not happy year -- the pledge of thcampaign to be ansparent -- obviously couldn'te fulfilled on health ca -- to the degree it was, it was problem, and to bring a n

. >> jenn: he's tuning up for the hurricane football field, jimmy graham.ed up for the football team, last year was a force inside for the hurricanes all time at miami in blocks. he started a couple games for the hurricane, played in every game this year on the football field. his first three passes all went for touchdowns, interesting transition, one of four former basketball players who switched to football. he switched to graduate school. his eligibility was up in basketball so he could go to another sport to play and another guy who did that, greg from duke and went to syracuse to play point guard. >> mike: can you say tony gonzalez. >> ron: amazing how many basketball players are tight ends. i guarantee he will be in a camp somewhere. corey raji checked back in. he was out most of that run by miami. 5:30 left to play. scott takes it away from trapani. >> mike: a little cross stream right there as scott anticipating a shot over the top. nice weak side defense. >> ron: could make this a three point ballgame or four-point ballgame. they need a good shot.

jimmie conners and john mcenroe. not too many lefties out there anymore except for the spaniard. andre. >> sampras part of that team in '92 but then in '95 when the u.s. won it against russia, did he win all three points? >> yes he did. doubles with todd martin. the '92 team, sampras and mcenroe played doubles. that was mcenroe's last davis cup match. >> set points here. >> and pete sampras with relative ease and a couple of breaks cruzs 6- s >>> back live in charlotte. 6-3 over jim courier. pete, i know you haven't played a ton of tournaments and you only had one match prior to this, but everything's working. >> hitting it pretty soft from the backcourt. kind of had a bit of a hick upwhen i was serving, but hitting the ball good, seeing the ball good and hopefully i can main taken 37. >> you talked about trying to find his backhand at the right times and you've been able to do that. what do you look for at cues to go that way? >> he's in the middle of the court and can do some damage. i can open up the forehand, it's pretty basic against jim. i've played him so many time, bull h

and one of the reasons why bill clinton was elected, and the same with jimmy carter. so it's a bipartisan feeling that we do this. i think, you know, it is a tough year for the incumbents. i think, just to pick up on, i think, what david and adam were saying, one positive sign for the democrats -- one positive sign is the election is not today. that's number one. [laughter] it's a while from now. because i don't think the president is responsible for these problems, but he owns them because he's the president. and there's no getting around that. but the second thing that goes to democrats and republicans and where they are as far as figuring out what they want to do, what their leadership is. democrats have an advantage, that they do have the presidency as far as message orientation. you know, there's a lot of negatives there. but i think what's really interesting, looking at democrats, is the reaction to the afghanistan speech. fully 50% of the party in congress did not support that speech. but you know what? they're swallowing it and they're going to move forward. t

jimmy carter in 1977 gave a famous speech at notre dame saying that america had been held back by ourordinate fear of communism. two years later, the soviet go into afghanistan and people said cater was naive. obama is determined that he's not going to be caught like that. >> lehrer: reverend forbes, picking up on that, your own views aside, do you think that what president obama said about war and peace is an accurate reflection of what basically the majority of the american people feel about war and peace? >> it is difficult to assess the majority today but i do believe that president obama has listened to both perspectives and that he thinks that in what he said today he both honors and respects the perspectives on both sides but for the interest... best interest of this country, i think the road that he's taking is one that he's convinced represents the best combined interest of the united states at this time. and a guy on the left like me, i just think we have to work harder to make sure that president obama is listening to our more progressive and even pacifist i can perspective

as jimmy carter said there is a drug for river blindness which is a-- if you give it to the tribal chief in the people never see it. you have to give it to the people in need nonprofits to do this. you need governments to work with us. i'm going to cool off on little riff here so if you disagree with me it's okay but for while the u.s. government was going the direction of being willing the world, dominating the world and saying either follow meaned or you are against me, and there has been a lot of controversy about president obama obtaining the nobel prize peace prize. i am proud of him getting the nobel peace prize. [applause] i am shocked, expected the right wing to be ranting against this but i am shocked at the left-wing who says this was not fair when. if you talk to people in europe, you talk to people in asia and a round the world they have very different perspectives. they say now you guys are changing, you want to work with us and solve these problems. leaking come together from totally different positions and find a way to get to yes by talking to each other so now you are ch

spirit i think -- they are both point that the first president i remember is jimmie carter. then again, i think most people in europe, but the main point to get back -- i think we sort of have to live with the fact that we have this outside and i'm not going to lecture how you will make the u.s. a better place. but the u.s. is not the only place that has problems. look at britain which arguably the most advanced, we had tony blair arguing for 10 years that britain should get behind climate change policies. and when they came into power in 1997, the labour party labour party, and he affirmed that britain was going to cut their emissions by another 50%. and they have, we have seen an increase of about 3%. it is a very, very hard thing to do. the second part, the cherry-picking, i would definitely say these are not the only four problems. [inaudible] >> i didn't get to my second part. the one question i'll frame it into one. it seems it is not the fact that climate change has caused a greater destruction of the food cycle, and the water cycle, both of which are much more dire c

guest: it's interesting, in fact i just said he left in 76 but he actually didn't leave until 77 when jimmy carter was sworn in street he goes to the american enterprise institute, a conservative think tank and works his way to chicago university. he wanted to go into the reagan administration sooner than he was able. and actually this involves some deals you know, william fred smith. william was on lookout list for solicitor general. that is, as you know because you also held that job, is a very important job, it's the government's top lawyer for the supreme court, the office that is viewed with plastic and become all the men who've held that and have the first woman doing it all the men have warned the morning suit with tales -- it is quite a prestigious job, and also get another intellectual kind of brainy job before the court. and then professor scully at the university of chicago really wanted that job, and he thought he was going to get it. he had what he thought was a pretty good interview with william french smith, an attorney general but rex lee was also up for the job, and bill sm

i just said he left in 76 but he didn't leave until 77 when jimmy carter was one in.he goes to the american enterprise and did he work his way to the university of chicago. actually, he wanted to go into the reagan administration sooner than he was able. this involves somebody else. william french smith. he was on the look out for solicitor general. that is as you know, because you held that java is a very important job. it is the government top lawyer before the supreme court. all the men who have held that have the first woman doing it but all the men have warned the morning suit, it's quite a prestigious job. and yet another intellectual kind of brainy job before the court. and then professor scully at the university of chicago really wanted that job. and he thought, he had what he thought was a pretty good interview with william princeton. but rex lee was also up for that job, and as bill smith, writes in his model is that i know you're familiar with, the late bill smith. he says there was a really close call but he went with rex lee. that was a very big disappoin

former vice president al gore and former president jimmy carter.st: the clip from 1964 is a voice that really casts into sharp relief the failures of leadership on capitol hill now. you look at senators who were supposedly raising questions about the president's policies for afghanistan and their relatively weak voice is. really, what he was raising in that interview resonates today. article one, section 8 of the u.s. constitution says it is up to the congress to decide whether the u.s. goes to war and stays there. that is through the power of purse and appropriations process. the resolution to be invoked next month on in capitol hill in the house by congressman dennis kucinich and several others really raises and sharpens that question. i think that while he is no longer with morris, will be there in spirit as this resolution comes to the floor. host: will joins us from london. caller: thank you for receiving michael. i have two questions. the first is [unintelligible] with the advent of new technology we can find out any piece of information or n

jimmy carter, double-digit unemployment, interest rates and inflation. they created a new term for it called stagflation. it was a single-digit number. we had low inflation and low interest rates. because of president obama's policies, these policies like cap and trade, like the spending and the stimulus bill and government health takeover, they have led to double-digit unemployment, but what we are starting to see are signs of creeping up interest rates and inflation because of the policies of president obama. when he says this is the worst economy since the great depression, what he was trying to do is set up an event because he knew thinks policies probably would create double-digit unemployment and double-digit inflation some so he tried to set the stage. just created an economy that virtually is leading us back to the 1930's, when we did have a the great depression and it's because of his policies that are spending, taxing and borrowing our country into object liveion and i yield back. mr. akin: history does not have to repeat itself. it repeats its

it's on day that -- data that's been jimmied. and this house of cards will collapse. it'll be jobs in the wake on faulty data. now, bring us real data, go through the scientific method, test it, but don't hide it. don't trick us. don't deceive us. don't discourage your profession of scientist it is by staying on the public dole to receive taxpayer money to continue to promote a fraud. a fraud on the american public. so after i -- so i really appreciate congressman barton, for taking the time to help us address this, there's a lot of education, and this education is on now, they're going to be making decisions on -- in copenhagen. mr. barton: my assumption is that the gentlemen who wrote those emails and received them, by and large are are in the inner circle of the climate change community and in all probability, they're in copenhagen right now. mr. shimkus: you bet they are. they are the u.n. designees to continue to do -- provide the information to the folks who attend the conference for which to make the decisions on. mr. barton: and if the president were to commit

and one of the reasons why bill clinton was elected, and the same with jimmy carter. so it's a bipartisan feeling that we do this. i think, you know, it is a tough year for the incumbents. i think, just to pick up on, i think, what david and adam were saying, one positive sign for the democrats -- one positive sign is the election is not today. that's number one. [laughter] it's a while from now. because i don't think the president is responsible for these problems, but he owns them because he's the president. and there's no getting around that. but the second thing that goes to democrats and republicans and where they are as far as figuring out what they want to do, what their leadership is. democrats have an advantage, that they do have the presidency as far as message orientation. you know, there's a lot of negatives there. but i think what's really interesting, looking at democrats, is the reaction to the afghanistan speech. fully 50% of the party in congress did not support that speech. but you know what? they're swallowing it and they're going to move forward. t

because some of you are old enough or young enough to remember the second televised tv debate between jimmy carter and gerald ford in 1975. when carter and ford were contesting the presidency. governor carter if there's an oil embargo on us again what would you do? and immediately he said what i would immediately proclaim a food embargo on them. and, boy, you could have heard a pin drop between washington and riyadh there. that was when they viewed agriculture self-reliance and food production as a strategic issue and this is when they brought in their agribusiness that didn't exist before. they had rural middle class they didn't have before. they expanded their chambers of commerce. they became the world's seventh largest exporter of wheat, okay, inside of one decade and they became famous for exporting strawberries to france in january and tulips to the netherlands also in january. but they did it at great cost to their own natural water resources, their aquifers and they said we are going to stop the food imports because of the strategic value of water. so it's a gamble. it's a gamble in

vote for jimmy carter if you think things are not as good, give me a chance.been 84 he stood up once did and he said if you think things are better off today than they were four years ago, though for me. if not, you can go for walter mondale. the beauty of ronald reagan was how direct and simple it was. think about your congressional races over the last four years. i think in 2006 and 2008 the republicans, the congressional question was kind of easy. how am i going to a vote against him or her. for the republicans, it was often about trying to change the message or change the question so that the question became something other than what the national question was at the time. going in 2010, what things will happen now? there's a big anti-incumbent by still in america with frustrations taking place in d.c. collared by an antidemocratic bias seems to be developing at least in some parts of america that i flipped over in 2008. so as you are putting together your campaign plan for your particular races coming up here, part of what you have to decide is whether you
