they his role under the a bush administration now obviously looks like he's going to play a big role as as the head of the cia director of the cia michael does this signal that there is this kind of continuity from the from bush to obama that their approaches are now much different terms of foreign policy. yes and no i think that what you see with these nominations with a goal of defense brother that the cia and i guess kerry secretary of state is this is really what obama's foreign policy is it's very different from bush in the sense that there's much more of a skepticism of conventional military force there is more of an emphasis on diplomacy but all of the kind of hard power military stuff is getting outsourced to things like the drone program cyber warfare and things like that so there's still this real. emphasis on on using military power but using it in what they perceive to be a much more politically low cost and cost effective way to project their influence militarily but not get us involved in the same type of entanglements of a conventional military response so i think there's some positive things about this and i think there'

if you look back at 1998 when michael dukakis got slaughtered by george bush sr., michael dukakis carried800 counties. that's how tightly packed in today's democratic coalition is. it's enough to win the popular vote by five million votes nationally, but it's not spread out. you get state after state, blue state after blue state, if you went to this congressional based system, romney would have won the election last november. >> i think these are patterns we've seen a long time ago. when people say this is an effort to steal the election, an attempt by the republicans here, is what they mean. if the electoral votes were divided by congressional district, we'd be reporting on mitt romney's first week in the white house tonight. here is a map from the 2012 presidential race of states, obama versus romney won. if the republican plan was put in place nationally this past year, you would have to replace that map with this one. all those districts in red are all electoral points for mitt romney. what does this mean? it means even though barack obama won by nearly five million votes and carried

michael pactor from web bush securities is live in l.a. welcome back. >> thank you, scott. >> what do you see that your competitors on the street don't? >> i don't think that the company's future changed much, if at all, if anything i think we're seeing revenue accelerating faster than we were seeing before. we're seeing the shift to mobile occurring faster. mobile revenue doubled which is really big. you're seeing the company monetize its user base faster than anybody anticipated. the only thing that's holding me back is the company said they're going to spend a lot more money than we expected so while i took my revenue estimates up a lot, $500 million for 2013 i took my spending estimates up by about the same amount so my earnings didn't go up at all. >> margins fell sharply? there's a disconnect somewhere, michael, right? the street is overwhelmingly coming out and downgrading the stock. the stock's had a great run and you're taking the other side of it. it's a good contrarian play. just tell me what the deal is. >> scott, god forbid yo

bush nominated michael sullivan, it looked like an easy path, but he couldn't get a vote in a republican-controllednate. >> did i ever think for a moment my nomination would be held up by a senator from idaho as related to one firearm licensed dealer? no. i didn't. >> idaho senator larry craig along with two other republican, all staunch supporters of the nra, held up sullivan's nomination, but it wasn't the nra's hands at work. it was about one local idaho gun seller's dispute with the atf. even silver himself said the nra didn't derail him. >> i didn't get any sense at all that the industry was opposed to my nomination. nor even the nra. >> when president obama took office, the senate just sat on his first nominee, andrew traver, even conservatives like house republican darrell issa called for action. >> andrew traver, who i believe is the 2010, november 2010 dezinate, should in fact be given an up or down vote. should in fact be given an opportunity to be confirmed. >> but republicans and the nra could spell trouble for todd jones. already senator chuck grassley is raising questions about his ti

one other note from michael, "iraq was a gift for haliburton and bush contractor cronies." if you want to take either one of those. >> guest: well, i mean, iraqis have representative government of a sort, and the question is whether it's going to be a fully democratic one or not. they have a parliament and elections. elections, by the way, deemed in terms of the counting of the votes, to have been fair by observers who saw them, and so i think it's a little chauvinist to say that people in the middle east are not capable of building a democracy. i mean, they have been -- that's exactly what's going on now in places like egypt and other places. they may not get there, but a lot of people are trying, and there are a lot of iraqi, you know, iraqis are shia, sue -- sunni, kurds, a multisectarian society. i caution people about generalizing too broadly about iraq. i mean there are iraqis who do want to have a connection with the united states and who do want iraq to become more democratic, but they are involved in a political struggle to that end. >> host: let's go to mike now f

before that the senate was required to confirm, and so when president george bush nominated michael sullivann easy vote, but it could not get an easy vote in a republican senate? >> did they ever believe it would happen? and candidly, no. >> reporter: senator larry craig and two other republicans all staunch members of the nra held up sullivan's nomination, but it was not the nra's hands at work, but about one local idaho's gun seller's dispute with the atf and sullivan, himself, says that the nra did not derail him. >> i never got any sense at all, you know, that the industry was opposed to my nomination, nor even the nra. >> reporter: when president obama took office, the senate sat on his first nominee andrew traifr, and even conservatives like darrell issa called for action. >> did andrew traver is the november 2010 designate should in fact be given and up or down vote, and should be given the opportunity to be confirmed. >> reporter: but the republicans and nra could spell trouble for todd jones, because already todd grassley is raising concerns over his fast and furious scandal. but th

this president need to say tomorrow as he begins his second term joining us are michael gerson speechwriter for president bushs, speechwriter to president carter. you say you don't write to be etched in granite, but i know that writers know when words ring. when you put words on paper, you think, i can see this, you know, as being what will be taken from this speech. so how do you craft those? >> it's true. the chair richter version is the state of the union address. i think with the inaugural address it's harder because something that registers as a showy line may come off as too showy. i think my sense of inaugural addresses the more they are poem like, the more they are spared, the less they try do the usually better they stand up. >> do you agree, less is more is this. >> yeah. and shorter is better. that helps. when richard nixon was wrikts his second inaugural, he looked at the past speeches and his conclusion was the shorter ones are better. i think a lot of people that read those speeches would find that true. this is not a state of the union kraes address, not a convention speech, you're doing it in

let's try former bush attorney general michael muck kasey. >> it seems to be by definition an abuse of power, a power grab, if you will. no? >> it is -- politically it is a power grab, yes. >> politically is it then unconstitutional in some instances? >> i don't think it's unconstitutional in the sense that i don't think it's something you that could get a court to find unconstitutional. >> uh-oh. it's not the answer hannity was looking for. maybe he should try asking it in a different way. >> so did you think that obama care was unconstitutional? >> did i? >> did you agree with the majority opinion? >> the supreme court said it was unconstitutional. >> you did? >> so you agree with john roberts? >> yes. >> you did. i'm surprised. because in that case -- so through the use of the commerce clause we can now mandate that people buy things? >> no, he didn't say you could use the commerce clause. he said you could not use the commerce clause. >> right. >> what he said was it was a tax. >> must have been a mix-up in the prenotes of the preinterview. but let's see a shot in freeze frame. thi

bush vs. michael dukakis. george h. w. bush was the vice president and he gave an answer. high-tech, green light, yellow light, red light, and green light said you could talk, yellow lights that you could line up, red light said shut up. george h. w. bush in the middle of an answer, i stopped him and said, mr. vice president, your time is up. he pointed to the lights and said, i have still got some time. in my ear, i heard the voice of the executive producer saying, jim, he is right. [laughter] in front of everybody i have ever known in my whole life -- [laughter] i said, i am sorry, you are right, go ahead. he looked at me and said, i forgot what i was going to say. [laughter] i wanted the biggest hole in the world to drop in and never be seen again. [laughter] i still do not know what happened. i do not know how i got it wrong. >> beautiful. yes, please. >> would gingrich have won in south carolina if he repeated his performance in florida instead of falling asleep? would he have one to go to the primary debates? likewise, would obama have lost the election after the pol

michael green served on the white house national security council as director of asian affairs under the bush administration. he spoke with nhk world. >> strategically, the u.s. and japan have a common interest in setting a high standard for transparency, rule of law and market access. >> michael green believes japan has a lot to gain by joining negotiations for the transpacific partnership free trade agreement or ttp. he says it would improve the country's standing with the u.s. and within asia. and he says it would send a message that prime minister shinzo abe and his liberal democratic party have the will to act. >> the upper house election in july makes this politically complicated for the ldp, but i think there needs to be some momentum. when countries assess the national power of another country, one important source of power is will power. the ability to take steps to address the national interest, to strengthen the country. >> but green said japanese leaders need to take a more cautious approach in dealing with sensitive issues with their neighbors, especially south korea. >> i think

his staff of james baker and michael deaver and others would put together groups and he would be comfortable. george bush 41 was very par tritioned. he came from a prominent new england fax his son brought the texas ho down attitude about it getting things done. >> stephen: did you become friends with these guys? >> i don't think friends. with each of them i had my kind of degree of relationship. a couple of years ago we happened to run into president obama with my family. and my daughter who is in san francisco was an early and enthusiastic supporter. she said, mr. president i was with you early and i'm still with you, he put his arm around her and said, talk to your dad, if you would. [ laughter ] >> stephen: a great tom brokaw story. congress has moved our economy into a lean-to up against the edge of a fiscal cliff and they are putting down stakes. that's where we're going to live from now on. has it always been thus that we're in a constant tate of crisis in congress? >> no. >> stephen: it's exciting. i check the papers in the morning to see if there's an economy. you have a different threshold of e

if you look back in 1988 when mie call michael dukakis got slaughtered by george bush.wer than 700 counties. it's enough to win the popular vote by 5 million votes nationally. but it's not spread out. you get blue state after blue state. if you went to this congressional-based system, romney would have won the election last november. >> that's because people who are liberal like to live in cities. these are patterns we've seen a long time ago. >>> if electoral votes were dif i haved up by congressional district, we'd be reporting on mitt romney's first week in the whielt house. here's a map. that's the usual electoral map we use in this country. if the republican plan was put in place, you'd have to replace that map with this one. all of those districts in red are all electoral points for mitt romney. it means even though barack obama carried the electoral college by 232 to 206. he would have lost to romney 262 to 276. what do you think would happen? how active is the naacp, mr. sheldon, funding this? how hot are you getting on this thing? >> primarily, in the legislatu

. >> two speechwriters that i know you know, don bayer used to write for clinton, michael guesten, used to write for bushh, what does this president in these times have to say up there to move forward in the next four years. >> is hard, if you are a speechwriter, writing a speech for somebody like president obama who likes to write his own speeches and he is a very good writer. >> yeah, but in the end, presidents have a lot to do, so i think oftentimes, we hear, oh, not just this president, lots of presidents, they wrote themselves, they did most of the work themselves. i think the speechwriters are like ghost writers, you say well, that was mostly his. but they know how to turn a phrase or two and how to capture the moment. >> they need one line in each of these >> can goes into granite some place. >> we will never forget. it is important to remember tomorrow is martin luther king junior day, as well as brings additional tradition into what's going to happen. >> just gives it the moment more moments, as they say. >> we will see you right at the top of the hour, candy, looking forward your show. that doe

they are t concerned about cutting back when bush was president they should do it now. we talked about michael hastings rolling stone reporter who just wrote a book saying that in covering the president being around the media what he observed was very immature behavior. they were giddy is the word that he use the sort of in awe of the president. i think it confirms what we have been saying here almost every week about the problem with the press corps and their inability to cover the president. >> we heard during the inaugural address. we heard about climate change. we heard about gay rights. we heard about lots of issues but nothing much about the deficit and some of the really pressing issues. >> some of the really great analysis from a lot of journalists and commentators was, well, sea liberal who knew? this is the biggest media coverup. this is their version of watergate. he they tried to portray him as a centrist. not a blue state, on red state but a united states of america. a guy who could transcend all of thell political in washington. now they are saying after all of this that you just
