it's sort of madmen performing secret operations in cairo elements to the story at to point. i won't go into anymore detail about the forms that cia arabism took. you can read about those in the book, but i do want to say a few words about the decline of cia arabism. why it is that the arabists, pro-arab, antizionist agenda ultimately failed because, clearly, it failed. nasa became estranged from the united states and became quite anti-american. after 1956, the u.s. throws its weight not so much behind arab nationalists as behind conservative, british colonial era leer in the middle east. meanwhile, at home, the american friends of the middle east, that cia front group that is advocating on behalf of nasa and arab nationalism generally, and attacking american zionist mentioning u.s. shouldn't be behind israel and nasa and u.s. identification with arab nationalism increasingly gives way to support for conservative regimes and pro-israel foreign policy. at the cia arabists themselves, as a group, split up by 1958, kermit roosevelt quit the agency, so too has miles copeland both

as i said last night, we've got to get rid of some of these workplace policies that long in a "madmenepisode, belong in the '50s. we have to give women opportunity she deserves, because when women succeed, america succeeds. now, women happen to hold a majority of lower-wage jobs in america, but they are not the only ones who are stifled when wages aren't going up. you know, as americans we understand some people are going to earn more than other people, and we don't resent those who because they work hard, because they come up with a new idea, they achieve incredible success. we want our kids to be successful. and it's funny, michelle and i sometimes talk and michelle's dad was a blue collar worker, her mom was a secretary, i was raised by a single mom. we didn't go around when we were growing up being jealous about folks who made a lot of money. as long as if we were working hard we could have enough. so americans overwhelmingly agree, nobody who works full time should ever have to raise a family in poverty.

that's a different kind of madmen. i thought, actually, today, i'm not saying people were boisterous, republicans about the president's speech in any enthusiastic way. i will say there was a stability and respect. and several moments where everyone united or cheered. it wasn't just the olympics. they were cheering on immigration reform, work force training. given that the farm bill just got done, given that speaker boehner has signified some interest on immigration reform, like the senate has done. i think we could have action in the year of action. that's what the president was referring to at the end. if this soldier after what he went through and bonded in afghanistan, roadside bomb and ends up in a coma and teaches himself to talk again and standing there. when the president said, you know, it's not easy. it's never easy. he was talking about that soldier. he was also talking about people struggling to put food on the table, he was talking about america. most specifically to congress, he was talking about our own d

reporters spotted "madmen" dvds on his plane. stick around for that. but, first, barack obama is a social media savvy president. the idea for his january 2011 town hall was pretty simple. went like this. people would submit questions on youtube and the rest of america would get to vote on those questions. what would be asked to the president. but when it came time to answer them, the president didn't end up responding to the most popular questions. he answered what his team described as, quote, a selection of them. and there was a reason for this. the reason why obama didn't want strict majority rule when it came to question selection for his town hall. because when all the votes were counted up, 99 of the top 100 questions were about the same politically sensitive subject. marijuana and the war on drugs. and there were plenty of pot questions in the second 100 too. as huffington post pointed out, the president was barraged with questions on youtube about legalizing pot. this wasn't the first time the white house solicited questions on the internet. no

we should look at madmen, the very popular tv series, where tobacco use and smoke something ubiquitous. there is barely a scene without t anit. and those were days when doctors in their medical offices smoked cigarettes. the days when big tobacco denied fervently and vehemently denied that tobacco caused cancer or any of those other diseases. in alliance with attorney generals and eventually the department of justice, we fought successfully to bring out the truth and to help not only change the ads and pitches and promotions of big tobacco but also eventually to pass the family smoking prevention and tobacco control act of 2009. and yet for all the progress that we've made -- and, a indeed, the rate of smoking has gone from 52% in 1965 to 18% in 2002 among adults -- we are still lagging. we are way behind where we should be in preventing all those diseases that come from tobacco and protecting the public. the state of regulation and protection in this country is anemic compared to the danger and the threat. between 2000 and 2012, cigarette use declined nearly 35%. but in that same peri
