what well, of those four, the only one i would call glamorous is jackie kennedy. have other things going for them. one of the things that is interesting about the obamas, particularly in 2008, was that he was the one who was glamorous. mrs. obama, and i have had this conversation with many people, mrs. obama is very stylish, but her appeal is that she is an extraordinary version of an ordinary person, so she is, like, i would not call girl next-door glamour, because she is more extraordinary than that, but it is friendlier. she does not have that distance that is important to have for glamour. >> tonight that barack obama won the presidency back in 2008, and they are on the stage in chicago. go ahead and run it, and we will talk about what you see in this. that was the beginning, and we now have had over five years of the presidency. [video clip] and as you say, she is not glamorous. >> i think it is important when you talk about the 2008 campaign. a glamorous politician is very unusual because glamour requires mystery and distance. it requires the kind of frankne

kennedy, senator kennedy, will be the next president of the united states.oumacher: kennedy won with a margin so narrow that people still argue over what tipped the balance. but nixon had no doubt. he blamed the recession of 1960 for costing him the election. historians still argue over the significance of the recession of 1960, but economists at the time were convinced that the budget surplus cost the economy jobs and growth by keeping dollars in the hands of the government rather than consumers. had eisenhower been willing to end his presidency with a deficit, he might have presented his successor with more growth and the prospect of even larger surpluses in the future. we asked economic analyst richard gill to explain why economists might be opposed to budget surpluses. i've already pointed out that the federal interest payments and the national debt itself were falling all through the 1950s as a percentage of our national income. thus there seemed no urgent reason to try for a budget surplus at this time. more significantly, the predominant keynesian vie
