kessler argues that obama is misunderstood as a socialist. he is not really. he is really, in fact, the error of three previous waves of political liberalism or progressivisms, all of which are concentrated really in his mentality. there is the first wave, launched by woodrow wilson, the second by franklin roosevelt, and the third by lyndon johnson. there is a fourth wave which is a 60's era identity politics wave, and obama is trying to sympathize and unify all of these somewhat conflicting philosophical premise. naturally he is having a hard time with it. so what i like about the book in particular is that kessler reads obama's speeches, interviews, writings, his press conferences. is really based on what obama himself has said, so it is a guide from the conservative point of view to what obama thinks and believes. >> what else do you have coming out? >> another but we are excited about -- it is called the naked constitution, what the founders said and why it still matters. as most of us know, there has been of longstanding debate in this country about the -

you can't dictate by -- what glen kessler says in "the washington post." i like both those guys. the fact of the matter, you have to say the facts as you believe them to be. i remember when joe wilson -- i remember when joe wilson called president obama a liar. and i condemned him for it. and i think that you have to be very careful in calling paul ryan who said the truth, his speech is accurate all the way down the line. he said the truth. calling him a liar really degrades the political debate. >> i think it is going to get there because of the fact that there's an enumeration of these. i'm not going to be the one to call him it. the question i have for him is why would a guy with a clean record introducing himself with hard-to-argue statements like this one, talk about deceptive language. he said the gm plant in his district closed on obama's watch. that was the clear implication that charge he made at the convention. and now it turns out that it closed on george w. bush's watch. now, i don't know how you can say well that's just how he sees it. >> by the way, not only did it

glen kessler on august 30th had this to say -- romney's policy paper issued by the campaign containsetails, mostly a collection of policy assertions such as reducing debt, overhauling tax code, foster free trade. also when he brings up and wants to see 12 million jobs added, moody analystics already put out that 12 million jobs would be created under the trends of president obama. >> the governor put out a plan on his website, there's a big difference. president obama promised hope and change. for the first two years, he had a democratic congress both in the house and senate, he took his eye off the ball, his priority wasn't jobs and the economy, and look where we are now. governor romney has laid out his vision, about energy dependence, talking about unleashing coal that will create jobs, conversely, he understand day 1 how to get things going and where to focus. he's laid off a series of metrics, unlike this president, who as you pointed out, what did he spend hick time campaigning on? attacking mitt romney, attacking the republican congress. he's got to at some point take responsi

have earned him the legendary four pinocchios rating from "the washington post"'s fact checker greg kessler there was the four pinocchios lie about welfare. that false claim that obama wanted to take the work requirement out of welfare. that's false. four pinocchios false. four pinocchios is the highest amount of lying you can do. a romney ad that took the president's quote on the economy completely out of context, that was also awarded four pinocchios. then there's the campaign's recent use of a 14-year-old clip out of context from obama using the word redistribution. that too four pinocchios. but we're not done yet. romney claimed obama raised healthcare costs by $2400 per person. that also, four pinocchios. rerepeatedly claims obama went on an apology tour after taking office. he did not. four pinocchios. romney claimed that 100,000 auto industry jobs have been lost under obama. don't even get me started on that one. i'll just say what the post said. four pinocchios, false. by the way, there's a lot more. the man cannot help himself. now, i would call him a serial liar but that would pro

now, glen kessler has given mitt romney's comments three pinocchios today. david brooks as well and others pointing out that he just doesn't have the facts right, chris cizilla, as to who pays taxes. >> talking about federal income taxes, 46.4% of people but that exempts lots of people. there are people who pay property tax, but don't pay income tax, older folks. it's not -- it's a talking point that has been kicking around conservative circles for some time. this is not new. it is not, in fact, born out by the facts. what mitt romney is doing here is something we've seen mitt romney do before. it's what all politicians do to an extent, what he does more than others, he tends to say what he thinks his audience wants to hear. who is he talking here? $50,000 person fund-raiser, wealthy people buy and large and this sense that the wealthy are the ones paying the freight for nerve this country. unfortunately, when things like this come out, the white house did the smart thing which is to say the president believes he should be the president for the whole country

from "the washington post," this is glenn kessler's fact checker. be wary of these five claims by obama. "our goal is not fact checking, but to understand those claims as we watch his address. we did a similar study of that last week before romney postelection speech." here are the examples the washington post has in there today for president obama. "four years ago, i promised that would cut middle-class taxes in the average middle-class family, their taxes are about $3,600 lower than when i came into office. now i want to keep taxes exactly where they are on the first $250,000 of everybody's income. obama this is bang abels and oranges -- apples and oranges. obama mixes up -- the $3,600 figure is over four years, a hundred dollars in each of 2009 and 2010 from the making work pay tax credit, $1,000 in each of 2011 and 20 call for mesa should security tax cut. the making work pay tax credit has expired. this is the second one the washington post says be on the lookout for.

my particular mentor alice kessler harris in one of my years of grad school was also a refugees from the holocaust. a lot of the women who started women's history had amazing stories of their own to tell and were also persons who knew very well what it's like for history to try to make all people invisible. i think that's an important side note. you couldn't do a doctorate in women's history in too many places until the late '80s when i started grad school, it was one of about four places in the u.s. and the big change has been that women's studies programs have been offering degrees that range from a minor in certain to a masters, and george washington university where i also teach is the oldest ma program in women's studies in pub lick policy in the country. the focus here in d.c. is more on women in government. but other programs around the u.s. you find more of a focus on women in literature, women in psychology, and a lot of the programs bring together faculty students, and administrators every year through something called a national women's study association. for women's histo
