there is a difference between how people view americans and the bush in ministration policy. i think the kind of message that the president delivered to the u.s. to international audiences, he has been in the business of repairing the damage that has been done over the last eight years in how people view the united states. this is an administration that is much more interested in talking to critics, and that they are working specifically on changing policies that the bush administration adopted. the kind of message that is appealing in europe, we don't know how it will play in russia. when you are admitting -- if the president does this come i don't know whether or not this speech is being written now. if you are speaking now who we are in our journey, and the last couple of years have not been very good. that tendency for russia's -- russians is not to admit any weakness. we don't know whether or not that will be seen as welcome or not. there is some disagreement among colleagues. i don't think russians know very much about him, to be honest. him talking about his personal

the bush did ministrations had changed that view. in a rather radical position that the bush administration over reached-when you go up against government, that is one of thing, when you got against the government with industry and change in position, there's a special dynamic at play, we were quite concerned because the government had never lost a case on applied pre-emption in which it asserted there was preemption through a governmental faction. one of the things that will be very interesting is to see to what extent the obama administration carefully reassessing the pre-emption position taken by the bush did ministration will go to the line that the bush said ministrations the core to reassess and evaluate in water circumstances with the agency's change policies, how far a pre-emption should properly go. there is no doubt that there is room for federal supremacy. when i was in the solicitor general's case, i argued one of the main cases, united states vs. law, for the federal supremacy. there needs to be appropriate balance in en

what is it that i think the of ministration should be focused on? fundamentally, we need to move in a direction of what we call a protect and defend it strategy. we talk about that in a background about establishing an arms control policy that is a tool in achieving this new approach that will be defensive. but what we need to do is the following. we need to not worry about the start deadline. i think the u.s. and russia can continue to make progress as we have been doing in recent years on reducing the number of nuclear warheads under the treaty. there is one issue that the treaty is currently dependent on a not truly compatible transparency and verification regime. the one thing i do think that should be in the near term negotiations is drafting a protocol to the moscow treaty that provides for this transparency measures, specifically against the accounting standard that is associated with that particular treaty which is on his deployed warheads. the third thing they need to do is limit formal linkages. the idea that the u.s. will get into negotia

and from the american side, the and ministration hinted it would like to see a grand bargain -- the administration hinted it would like to see a grand bargain in the u. s-russian relationship. secretary of state clinton talked about the reset button. whether they can conceive -- whn pushing that are not is a question. it looks like the obama administration will be willing to trade some of the missile defense plants in central europe for russian corp., a rand's nuclear program -- for russian cooperation, iran's nuclear program. so what does mr. obama wants, what does he understand about the russians? some believe it may not be very much, unfortunately. some people over there say they kind of regard president obama as eight gorbachev -- like gorbachev, somebody they can do business with. but gorbachev is not like in russia because he put an end to the soviet empire. to look at all these questions, to look at the reality in the relationship with russia and what the russian society expects from president obama, arms control in the economics, the gamut of all the issues we will be addressing in the nex

they have their own ministration and essentially a local government that they had created with all the infrastructure of a real government. they were run by a jewish agency. then it was the legal governing authority. they had built up, over the years, and actual state within the state. what is striking is that is something the palestinian arabs have not done. despite all of the things, there is no real infrastructure of a palestinian state of the way the jews in palestine built up an existing state. by 1948, all of the state department memos would be sent back with a memo that there is a jewish state exists. when we recognize it, we're just recognizing that we're just recognizing reality because the state exists, it is just not recognized. >> in your research, did you find any idea what the american people thought back then? >> there were some polls taken and one in 1945 actually surprised the truman administration. it was taken and it was found that those americans that knew about the possibility of their being a jewish state in palestine, the overwhelming majority supported it and a

the thing that strikes me is how does this compare to other presidents at this point in their ministrationsf their administration-- in? >> this is kind of low. clinton was lower at this point. that is ok because he got elected with 42% of the vote. it did not matter that he was losing approval before this because most of the people were mccain supporters. he got 52% of the vote and if his job approval rating fell, those for all mccain voters. now that it has dropped below 52, he is pleading votes. those are supporters who are deciding that they don't approve of the job he's doing. that is very serious. greta: 83% of the democrats approve of him. is that a number that he is happy with? >> that is low. to have almost one in four voters in your own party say you disapprove of those job your doing. these polls have an option of "somewhat approve." obama has always been more popular than the programs he proposes. people like him more than they like his policies. now, he's taking his own reputation and putting it behind this health care proposal. essentially, what he's doing, he is really lowerin
