for example, most of our greatest president it's jefferson, lincoln, and both roosevelt his doubted about the constitution and many of them disobeyed it when it got in their way. >>> constitutional disobedience is a prerequisite for being one of our greatest presidents, it is time to put obama on mt. rushmore. fear not >> to be clear, i don't think we should give up on everything in the constitution. the constitution has many important and inspiring provisions. but we should obey these because they are important and inspiring, not because a bunch of people who are now long dead favored them two centuries ago. >>> ah, so in other words, we should pick and choose what provisions of the constitution we should follow. by the way, who gets to choose? we should just ignore the ones that get in the way, like the whole rule require that this president of the united states has to be born in america. >> unfortunately, the constitution also contains some provisions that are not so inspiring. suppose that barack obama really wasn't a natural-born citizen. so what. >> that's exactly how liberals view

and let's take thomas jefferson, because the presidents who have done this in the past are ronald reagan, franklin roosevelt, abe lincoln and thomas jefferson. thomas jefferson hands off power to his secretary of state james madison. so, both secretaries of state historically and vice presidents have been plausible successors. >> you know, in your advice to the president to make sure his second term is a success and not a failure, like we have said, appoint a successor, you also say to go big with things like immigration reform. you tell him to campaign aggressively in 2014. unlike in 2010 against republicans. all of which you think might help but wouldn't lowering unemployment, bringing the economy to full recovery, balancing a budget, wouldn't all of this also help assure a great second term? what am i missing here? >> nothing. the best politics is a good policy. >> right. >> barack obama, of course, believes that his -- that immigration reform is actually good policy. it will help actually bring down the deficit if we can get a bunch of high achieving immigrants to come pay my social security, doing voter -- doing el

dropped colonization, which had been central to emancipationist discourse from thomas jefferson to abraham lincoln and provide ford the military recruitment of people of african-american descent, both of whom were slaves and who were not slaves. this also was a break because african-americans were not allowed to serve either in the united states army or the in the state militias because of the difference between military service and citizenship claims but the emancipation proclaimations did not cover all the slave states. left out areas under federal control. the tension between who is really going to complete the process. lincoln encouraged the bored states to do it themselves, even gradually, and he was going to offer federal assistance. what is more is that, as important as the emancipation proclaimation was, it was mar measure and that's gets to the issue of the 13th amendment. what was going to happen once the war inned was the emaps pacing proclaimation retain it legal authority, or would it effectively be overthrown by the courts? the press for the 13th 13th amendment came to secure emancip

stood in a tradition in the united states that goes back to the puritans and runs through jefferson and lincolnnited states is never quite perfect. always trying to make things better. in keeping with our original principles. going back to the idea of the declaration and pac-10 our greatest president, the republican president, abraham lincoln. i think he was trying to channel lap and then push it forward into specific policies for today . lou: do you have a sense of the future that he envisions as a result of today's speech? >> well, i think the speech today was really about equality. it was saying that lincoln was right when lincoln said that the united states is dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. that was a pretty radical thing that lincoln did. that was not something most americans thought that the constitution was written. as you know, we had slavery. lincoln read that as of forward-looking idea. lou: when he wrote that -- when he wrote that he was standing on the shoulders of those who had founded this nation and you had written the declaration. redneck constituti

for example most of our greatest presidents -- jefferson, lincoln wilson and both roosevelts -- had doubtsconstitution. the constitution has many important and inspiring provisions but we should obey these because they are important and inspiring not because a bunch of people who are now long dead favored them two centuries ago. unfortunately, the constitution also contains some provisions that are not so inspiring. for example one allows a presidential candidate who is rejected by a majority of the american people to assume office. suppose that barack obama really wasn't a natural-born citizen? so what? constitutional obedience has a pernicious impact on our political culture. take the recent debate about gun control. none of my friends can believe it but i happen to be skeptical of most forms of gun control. i understand though that's not everyone's view. and i'm eager to talk with people who disagree. but what happens when the issue gets constitutionalized? then we turn the question over to lawyers. and lawyers do with it what lawyers do. so instead of talking about whether gun control

they abolish slavery so they drop colonization so it is central as discourse from thomas jefferson to abraham lincoln and provided for the military recruitment of people of african descent of whom where slaves and not of slaves. but for the state militia because of the connection between military service and citizenship claims. they did not cover all of the slave states that left out areas of the confederate states under federal control. the tension between who is really going to finish the emancipation process we can try the border states even gradually but what is more as important as it was, it was a war measure. what was going to have been with the emancipation of proclamation retained its legal authority what it effectively be overthrown for the courts? they came to secure emancipation but remember the "emancipation proclamation" would only be an effect is the union side went to war and the confederate surrendered. there is a lot of talk about the armistice and it is clear if there was, the principles really was go out the window and at that played there is no question slavery would not return a

his first inaugural which is i think jefferson's first inaugural, lincoln's second, kennedy's are probably the three most significant i would argue and he says the majority must be allowed to prevail as long as the rights of minorities are protected. it is our complicated thought but essential to the american sense of argument and working together by founding the university of virginia he was trying to create a regional institution, national institution to stop spending, virginians to harvard and northeastern schools and transylvania and kentucky. i am a graduate of the university of the south in suwannee, tenn. which is a combination of rideshead revisited and delivers. if you don't know it. we think of the university of virginia as the suwannee of the county. thank you. i am married to a graduate of the university of virginia so i say that a lot. >> thank you for coming. jefferson question and an obama question. when jefferson's time camelot of new territory into the united states the question of whether it would be slave or free, what were the political factions that were tugging at jef

among america's greats were abe lincoln and thomas jefferson. for this u.s. president, the first african-american ever elected to the office, the historical legacy has already been written before he officially began his first term. four years ago, president barack obama welcomed the weight of that legacy casting himself as a blank canvas to project our lofty hopes for change and great expectations for the nation. the first item on his agenda, that bright legacy and suggested those hopes were well placed. president obama tried and succeeded where previous democratic presidents tried and failed. he enacted legislation that provided universal health care for all americans. four years after the first inauguration our lofty hopes for what was possible have been dragged back down to earth by the cold hand of reality and a republican dominated house of representatives. this time around, our great expectations may feel like managed expectations. take a look at president obama's second term official portrait. does that look like the face of a man that's lost hope for

jefferson, lincoln, roosevelt and reagan left behind empowered coalition without the charismatic leaderiances. president obama's obligation is to ensure a democratic party strong enough to stand on its own after he's no longer there to support it. quite frankly, without the president to lean on, the democrats are looking wobbly at the moment. right now, the democratic party is basking in a residual warm and fuzzy left over in the wake of the president's re-election. in november, 51% of rerespond t rerespondents gave the democratic party a favorable rating compared to 40% of the gop. it's only temporary. before the election, you have to go back to the summer of 2009 to find a time when americans weren't just as disgusted with democrats as they are republicans. the president has his work cut out for him. there are certain pred assessors to turn to for guidance but there's one american icon president obama needs, martha stewart. no one knows more about party planning than ma that.

george washington, thomas jefferson, theodore roosevelt and abraham lincoln etched in stone forever. is there room for another? conservatives have long argued their idoled president ronald reagan is worthy of the honor. but does president obama deserve to be up there with the others? it's a provocative question being raised in an article in the "national journal" today and it has everyone talking and debating. joining me now is host of "the cycle, msnbc and abbey huntsman. thank you boet for your time. >> what about those who say obama isn't ready? reagan should go there first. i'm not ready to put reagan on mount rushmore at all. we're talking figuratively, right? >> you're on politics nation. we have chizles and hammers here. >> okay. all right. >> reagan or obama? >> i'll put up reagan, you can put up obama. we'll chisel together. >> i think he had a very strong first term, saving detroit, ending two wars, aca, changed americans fundamentally, as best he could from the dump that bush left us. but i want to see a little bit more. what are you going to be able to do with immigration

president obama set to join a very exclusive club next week, with members including washington, jefferson, lincolnosevelt, when he is nicaraguaed e inaugurated as the president of the united states. massive preparations are well under way here in the nation's capital. the whole thing kicks off tomorrow with a national day of service. chelsea clinton will be the honorary chair for that. and because january 20th, the inauguration day falls on a sunday this year, the official swearing in of president obama will take place in a private ceremony at the white house as it has to on a sunday. monday is the big day, folks. this all kicks off with a church service at st. john's church, just across the street from the white house. then on to the public. the swearing in here where hundreds of thousands are expected to turn out on what will be, i'm sure, a chilly washington day, from capitol hill to the national mall, pennsylvania avenue, for the inaugural parade. i will be there. i'm so excited. i'll be there in the thick of things. of course, many, many -- many, many of our cnn crews will be there as well. y

it's not just abraham lincoln or washington or jefferson or roosevelt but also standing nearby martin and it says something for our nation that we're going to create a beloved community, we're going to create a society that is free of racism and bigotry and no one will be left out or left behind. doesn't matter whether you're black or white lashgs tino, asian-american, native american. it doesn't matter where you're straight or gay. dr. king legacy is saying that we are one people, we are one family, we are one house. we make up the american house, the american family. >> amen to that, representative john lewis. thanks for your time. >> thank you. >> in a moment, the big three on how president obama can bridge the political divide in washington. ♪ [ slap! ] [ male announcer ] your favorite foods fighting you? fight back fast with tums. calcium-rich tums starts working so fast you'll forget you had heartburn. ♪ tum tum tum tum tums nothing. are you stealing our daughter's school supplies and taking them to work? no, i was just looking for my stapler and my... this thing. i save money b

the most difficult transition before lincoln was probably ever adams to jefferson and there was only three weeks because an electoral college decision in february and then on march 4th, jefferson took over. it would have been a lot more difficult to fit for four months. but we decided on not just the electoral college, popular elections came in november tradition, and we have this unexpected extra constitutional nutrition. when the administration's could change, political party control could change lincoln faced the most challenging and america faced the most challenging transition in history in 18621861 states refusing to accept the majority decision of the electorate for the union before the president took office before they've chosen the wrong person following a completely sexual selection called on clinton to either stand up to these people by saying we won't let you leave for suggest or suggestions from the south that he resigned, threats against his life has never seen before in this country. the highest expectations to grow this crisis ever, so i thought since it's been about

jefferson memorial. and was talked a great deal about president lincoln. dependence and many other achievements. he was also a slave-holding president. and i think it really is a moment of symbolism to have this president emerge, with that memorial behind him. it's also, you know, such a beautiful city. and that's one of the things that we see on this inauguration day. and looking at all of these wonderful monuments and seeing what a really glorious place this is. that people can still -- here is the president. >> with new york senator chuck schumer. again, very different affair from four years ago. >> get's go to mark now, historian, author of "second act." the conversation we were having with matthew dowd earlier. as the president prepares to give this speech and speak to the country and the world, he also has to be conscious of the fact that most second terms, in recent history, at least, have not gone all that well. >> that's right. many second terms are rife with scandal and adversity. nixon in watergate. you saw president clinton, with monica lewinsky
