unreasonable requirements. >> you got me there with jimmy carter. >> you got me there with jimmy cartershe pointed to one former president democrat who supported the idea of requiring id. >> what kind of an id are we going to accept? if the data is accurate, the 25% of african-americans do not have an updated photo form of id. then you have to say hold it, this has a disproportionate effect on the community and therefore there must be reasonable alternatives that must be pursued. you show up and you present something. what that something needs to be has to take into account the constituencies that we are serving. we want to encourage people to vote and not erect more roadblocks. >> you point out the center for justice that estimates more than five million voters could be affected. as some of these restrictions are put into place, that's a lot of people. >> 171 electoral votes represented by states in the process of as i say moving the goal post. >> great color, michael. good to see you. coming up, one school district is taking an approach to get kids to go to class. it involves a music

called him the greatest engineer of all time but he put to jimmy carter on the spot in an interview? >> guest: yes. so anxious to get into the nuclear navy he interviewed people he would have two chair leg people so they be uncomfortable or blinds with the sun comes into their eyes and he is interviewing a young man and said something and then rick said why didn't you do better than that? so that was the title so why not better? >> that is great to one but after three mile island which was nuclear in pennsylvania 1979, carter i concluded to apply it to many accidents? >> i wrote in a margin that to cut and paste or the joint investigation with an ad and you have a series of cascading mistakes of one of them had happened you would not have a disaster and other circumstances seven at a 10 and nothing happened but if they all come together, when i read that letter i had the same reaction to seven solely the investigation into three mile island and at the end he warned against the cops and robbers syndrome between the nuclear industry and the government regulators and to never be suffici

you know, this is like jimmy carter. jimmy carter was in a total economic mess. he couldn't figure out how to solve t. so he gave a speech and said, look, we are going to be miserable, but we can share it. and the american people said, no, the problem is you. they fired him and brought in ronald reagan and the recovery started almost immediately. the only thing soft about america is a president. united states who doesn't understand america. if barack obama ceases to be president, we will start to have a recovery. i think that that is what he can't come to grips with. he doesn't learn, he doesn't listen. he doesn't understand america or economics. he doesn't understand job creation. he is the person who is soft. it's his ideas that are soft because they are wrong. the american people are as tough as ever. the young man i talked to who had just come back from afghanistan and the iraqi national guard, i don't think they think they are soft. the business owner in philadelphia who rubs a small steel mill. he doesn't think he's soft. the school teacher i just talked to

>> host: jimmy carter, he put jimmy carter on the spot, right?in an interview of some sort? >> guest: it is rigorous to get into the navy. he was short one of the chair legs of people would feel uncomfortable and he would have lines where the sun would cover their eyes. is intervening young james earl carter and carter said something like, i came in 57th in my class at annapolis. rick gober says to him, one of the best? why did you do better than that? carter were sort of bragging about it and that became the title of carter's campaign autobiography, why not the best? it is very interesting, after the three mile island accident in pennsylvania in 1979, carter appointed brick over to evaluate a form it. included the letter that rick overrode to carter and i was struck by it because it sort of -- many accident. >> host: i wrote in the margin, essentially, you have cut and pasted it with the oil spill commission or the joint investigation of the coast guard and the offshore. >> guest: exactly because what you have is a series of cascading mistakes.

jimmy carter does not party in hollywood for two nights in a row.a little bit of a prude in the '90s when he was president of the united states. and, you know, he was talking about intimate details of his sex life in depositions that ran on television. that was humiliating for this country. this is not. this is just -- >> how hard is it to steer clear of these references and these echos and instead of standing on a stage and laughing about these echos? >> you know, i guess i can't get too worked up about it, but i do think that it is helpful to remind people that this guy was impeached for things that people really disapproved of at the time. there's been some publicity lately. i think it's actually inaccurate that there are folks in the obama white house who worked for bill clinton who long for the days of bill clinton. that's simply untrue based on my reporting. because he was -- it was misery for them for much of the second term because of the lewinsky scandal and impeachment battle. there is a tendency to forget this. so when he stepped into a s

with jimmy carter?guest: jimmy carter and gerald ford. >> host: that's kind of remarkable when you think about it. was there any time in the debates where you were sort of panic inside and thought oh, my gosh, this isn't going to come off? >> guest: you mean the content? >> host: yes, the content or the logistics, or something, something was sort of got out of control. i know there were other debates that kind of got out of control. >> guest: yet, no. there was any time or i thought things would be out of control. there were many times i was disappointed i was unable to use the rules in such a way to ask the follow-ups that i thought should be asked. i always worked very hard to make damn sure that i stay within the rules, and i also worked very hard to use the rules in ways so that there can be a float to its. >> host: do you have input into the rules? >> guest: no. they give you the rules and they say, we hereby invite you to moderate debate so-and-so, and will you, are you interested? will you do thi

jimmy carter called him the greatest engineer of all times. >> host: and he put jimmy carter on the spot, right? in the an interview of some sort? >> guest: yeah. it's so rigorous to get into the nuclear navy that rickover would shorten one of the chair legs to make people uncomfortable, or he'd have blinds that would come into their eyes, so he was interviewing carter, and carter said i came 57th in my class at annapolis, and rickover says to him, why not the? why department you do better than -- why didn't you do better than that? and that became the title of carter's campaign autobiography. >> host: that's great. >> guest: yeah. [inaudible conversations] >> guest: i was going to say something. after the three mile island accident in pennsylvania in 1979, carter appointed, asked rickover to evaluate it for him. and i included in the book the letter that rickover wrote to carter after the accident, and i was very struck by it. you could sort of apply it to -- >> host: deepwater horizon, i wrote in the margin, i said this is like you have cut and pasted it, and it was basically what the

jimmy carter. that's the only time. every other one term president followed a president of his own party. whether it was bush in '88, lyndon johnson, harry truman, herbert hoover, william howard taft. every one of them followed a president of their own party. if obama loses, he is going to have to do something virtually unprecedented in 100 years of american history. second, he will have enough money to burn a what mule. that's a look very large supply of money. they talk about obama hopes to raise a billion dollars. they spent more than a billion dollars last time. people don't include on top of the $750 million the campaign the dnc raised, $400 million spent by labor unions. this time, i think it is fair to say the labor unions will spend a lot more because that was before polling, that was before the national labor relations board -- before boeing. obama as second biggest advantage is money. there is a wide-open gop nomination. that is important to obama's strategy. other republican candidates are less well known tha

faced tough competition against ted kennedy. >> jimmy carter getting the primary challenge from teddy, there's nothing like that happening with president obama. and from the obama campaign, that's a blessing. now, what is means, essentially in the broad orientation of americans politics is that it's sort of obama and a unified left and center fighting against the right and the right is very, very enthusiastic. and so i think the fine line that the president has to walk in his re-election effort is that he needs to do things that get his base enthused, that gets democrats excited, not just to vote for him but donate money and all of those things while still being the candidate who appeals to a broad swoth of the public. >> so when it comes to the gop candidates in 2012, what is your assessment in terms of who might prove the toughest for the president? >> you know, there is a little bit of a mirror image issue with the democrats that they have to worry about in terms of the enthusiasm of the base. the first thing that what happened when mitt romney emerged as the front-runner, all of

. >> professor speed, when lyndon johnson was president or jimmy carter was president was there a vast change in american foreign policy? >> writing that carter tried to bring it about because he was the only cold war president who believed you could get beyond the cold war unilaterally you could declare an end to it unilaterally. he would emphasize issues like human rights and north's health issues and try to move beyond what he called the heat of communism it turned out the soviet union said it differently in the cold war still continuing, so it was difficult to declare an end and by the end of his presidency he was one but to the cold war position. lyndon johnson you mentioned and he is best known for the viet nam and his foreign policy but most republicans at the time people were firm on the idea that johnson should fight the vietnam and goldwater criticized for not enough communism in vietnam so that was the position during the johnson years was a funny thing to be more aggressive against north vietnam. >> who makes foreign policy and creates foreign policy? is a the intellectuals

jimmy carter went down to defeat. i am absolutely confident that at the end of the day, the republican primary process will nominate somebody who can beat president obama. today, he is losing to romney in the real clear politics polls and a generic republican in the real clear politics average of polls. none of these republicans are as well known or seen as sharply and crisply as the president is. the president's in bad shape today. have you touched on an essential truth. he can't win by running for re-election on the great stimulus program, the spending, the deficit and the doubt he has run up or the affordable care -- obamacare. he can't run on the big domestic accomplishments so he will be stuck, tryinging to irradiate hs republican opponent. >> tell me this. i am going to give you hypotheticals. speaker gingrich calls up and say, my path to getting the nomination, what did you tell him to do? >> he's had a good debate performance. he has to take the debate performances, in which he has appeared an adult. he set th

. >> professor, when lyndon johnson was president where jimmy carter was president was there a vast change in american foreign policy? >> i think carter actually really tried to bring about dramatic changes, probably the only cold war president to believe that you could get beyond the cold war unilaterally. you could -- i think he got in 77 when he came in he could decide issues like human rights and north-south issues and try to move beyond what he called this fear of communism. it turned out that the soviet union, so continuing. it was difficult to declare. by the end of his presidency he was one back into more of the cold war. lyndon johnson, he is best known for vietnam, of course, foreign policy. initially, most republicans of the time were very firm on the idea that johnson should fight in vietnam. criticized johnson for not standing gap. so that was actually the republican position during the johnson years. >> who makes foreign policy? who creates foreign-policy? the intellectuals, scholastic types, is the president? >> is the president. that's why i found. the influence of intellec

>> it goes back to jimmy carter and clinton. >> and ronald reagan. all the presidents did.ng about that. reagan continued to endorse the housing act and in fact reauthorized it and repropose operated it. >> the person who did that was clinton in 1996. >> well, let's just say that there are a lot of people culpable in washington, democrats, republicans, and probably more democrats than republicans. >> that still does not excuse them. >> look, there's a -- although i agree with donald trump , you can't figure out what these people are -- they are incoherent down there. it's one big drug party and not the tea party. hang on a second. but as i watch what they -- the incoherent message that is going on here, they are right about one thing. >> what? >> we should never bale out any companies period. let them go bankrupt. >> i was against it. the first bailout i was against it when obama did it. >> i have to say, i think that bailout was wrong, newt gingrich said particular the conservatives got it and look where we are now. >> what do you say? >> i think she's exactly right. and t

john anderson ran against jimmy carter. jimmy carter lost his bid for reelection. ross perot ran in 1992. george h.w. bush lost his bid for reelection. bill:bill clinton won the presiy with 43% of the vote. do not forget ralph nay de nadeo didn't score very high in the 2000 election but it was enough to mess up the florida count. if nader had not been in florida, it's likely al gore would have won florida an the presidency. >> it seems they're in many ways the spoilers. >> exactly. they can't do anything but mischief. i don't think anyone can conceive of a third party candidate coming to win the presidency in 2012, but if you did have one, and it was a very close race between barack obama and the republican nominee, it's possible that they could take enougenough votes off one or the other to change the outcome. >> you know what's so interesting, i guess if someone's really powerful enough, you could throw it into the house of representatives, a real serious third party candidate. its hard to think of that happening, but it is theoretically and numerically possible

the last time we saw a president in this kind of economic trouble was jimmy carter at the end of his presidency and reagan at the end of his presidency. he wants to stay in the rose garden, in the white house, he lost and he lost big because he didn't get out and explain what he was doing to the people. i think obama is taking the right strategy here. the problem is you have a divided government and you have a problem when you have republicans who don't want to do anything the democrats want to do. who do the voters look to, who will they blame and who will they reward? sticking in the white house, staying there trying to run the country will get obama nowhere. i think this is a departure from what carter did. i think it's a smart departure. barack obama is no jimmy carter. >> thank you very much. >>> a strange new ad from herman cain is blowing up, so to speak, and it has everybody scratching their heads this morning. his campaign manager smoking a cigarette in the ad and why does it make herman cain smile.

that's the lowest right-track figure for a president in his first term since jimmy carter, who lost his re-election bid to ronald reagan in 1980. mr. obama's approval rating was as low as 38%. with only 13 months until the election there may not be enough time to turn the tide. that could mean the democrats lose not only the white house, but also their six-seat majority in the u.s. senate. with republicans already in control of the house of representatives, that abb, anybody but barack, would compl from power. question, in his attempt to turn around his political ratings, is time on the side of president obama? liz? >> probably not. i think if you talk to the white house these days, they're pretty resigned to the fact that the economy is probably not going to do them any favors over the next 13 months so they're not going to be able to run a ronald reagan style things are getting better, look how much progress we've made type campaign. what that leaves them probably with is more of a contrast campaign, which really means they'll be running against whoever the republican nominee is. >> d
