mrs. bush saying in part "i think it's been the worst campaign i've ever seen in my life, i hate that people think compromise is a dirty word. it's not a dirty word." mrs. bush has been campaigning for mitt romney and her husband the former president george hw bush unofficially endorsed romney last year. joining us now by phone, national affairs editor for "new york" magazine john heilman, how are you doing this morning? >> good morning, willie, how are you? >> i'm doing well. let's talk about possible outcomes, zero in in ohio, mitt romney ends ohio in his back pocket means what for the race? >> i think it means he's in a position to start convincingly making the argument the nomination fight is over especially if he puts one of the southern states or western state in his column in addition to the ones that everyone expects him to win, massachusetts, vermont, and virginia a convincing argument it's time to shut the sucker down. >> another scenario, rick santorum running neck-in-neck, he wins o

truthfully. >> dana: could we get one last word from you, mrs. bush.ryone here wants to send our regards through you to the former president. if you could give us a quick update on how he is doing? >> he is wonderful, but his legs say no. they freeze and they won't move. it's horrible for him. but he's such a good sport. he looks beautiful. he looks about 30 years younger than me still. but he is a wonderful, thoughtful, everybody should be so lucky to be married to george bush. >> dana: it's an amazing love story. i love to look back over today about how you met and all the things that you did. i remember this summer before i had moved to new york, you talked to me about how much you loved being here when he was ambassador to the united nations. i'm here, and trying to take advantage of it per your advice. getting out and seeing plays and walking the city. >> walking the streets. walking the streets in new york. i can't say george had a love affair with new york. every time someone threw a bomb at somebody it was his fault, he was the ambassador. i lo

bush jr. also followed mr. huntsman's lead, mr. romney also has an endorsement from jeb bush's son, jeb jr. so who are we missing here? oh, yeah! this is the other big problem for mr. romney. and to be fair, it would be a problem for any republican nominee this year. the most interesting story in american domestic politics continues to be the efforts of post-george w. bush, post-dick cheney republican party politicians figuring out who they are. the party nominated john mccain and sarah palin in 2008, and with all due respect to them as politicians, these two do not seem to have stuck in the minds of anyone, really, as the next generation of national leaders for the republican party. and the legacy of george w. bush himself and of his presidency, at this point, seems still too toxic for anybody to seek that particular blessing in modern politics. not only do we not have a george w. bush endorsement for mitt romney or anyone else, but does anybody expect that there's going to be one? and if it does happen, would that be a good day for the campaign or a bad day for the campaign? and so in orde

. >> bob: there you go again, mrs. bush. down eric bolling, which we -- [ laughter ] still stung by that. >> kimberly: smackdown. >> bob: i think it's fair to say that romney the prohibitive favorite. but one thing this primary did besides prove it was an ugly thing, it underscored a riff in the republican party among the economic republicans. i'm not going to use the word that eric uses. but add those who are social conservative, and evangelical republicans at the base. who do provide a more active republican base than those who are more concerned with the economy. that's not to say that one is more or not conservative than the other. but there is an emphasis, chamber of commerce folks worrying about the economy. and evangelicals worry about the values. is is that riff repairable and is romney the right guy to do it? >> dana: it remains to be seen if romney is the right guy to do it. yes, i think that republicans, the big tent philosophy and everybody gets together. if you look at the list we talked about regarding the one

smith, suggested that by allowing the tax cuts under mr. bush to expire in december, this would solve the problem. republicans would not have to vote for a tax increase. you guys could march forward. what do you think? >> adam is a good friend and we worked together on this. our committee is bipartisan. i really tried to work because we look at our responsibility as protecting the men and women in uniform. defending the nation of the country. however, we have had many hearings and i've expressed my opinion. he has expressed his. my opinion is that our responsibility, my responsibility, is to look out for the defense of the country, to make sure that men and women in uniform have all of the training, equipment, tools, leadership, then they need to carry out their missions and return home safely. i do not think it comes under my jurisdiction to worry about taxes and revenue. there are people at a higher pay grade that worry it and work on that. >> given your strong interest in avoiding defense cuts, would you be willing to not vote and let the tax

mrs. bush collaborates with the designer and wanted a pretty party dress. what women -- the first lady wants it to be beautiful and comfortable and appropriate. appropriate is the word when first ladies are dealing with clothes. they want to be appropriate for the occasion and appropriate for their age and the circumstance and i think appropriate as a symbol of the united states. we still do look at the first lady as representing women in the united states. even when she is not functioning in duty, she represents the united states. >> let's take a look at the first ladies, four of them that you featured here at the exhibit and talk about their roles. >> wonderful. it's this way. . >> before you walk into this room, you have a quote from michelle obama. she is talking about that there is no formal job description for this unofficial role of the first lady. talk about that quote and how you think that impacts the first lady's decision of how they go about doing this job, if you will. >> the quote itself really wraps up in a lot of ways what this exhibit is ab

you are at peace and you envision that peace lasting for a considerable period of time under both mr bush and obama now mr obama we are out there cultivating wars cultivating islamic hatred for the united states both sunis and shias and becoming increasingly involved in their business which with it which is what motivates them to attack us so the budget people in the congress and their bureaucratic partners here focused on the defense spending to be what gets cut because they don't want to offend voters with cutting domestic spending they can't if they cut it for one year they'll return it the next year and then some they have to stop intervening abroad in order to stop earning enemies and causing wars and then they may be able to trim the defense spending a bit but so are you arguing that because the united states is continually engaged in. going to war and building out enemies that that is what substantiates this defense spending well it if you don't have a choice if you're at war you have to defend yourself that you can certainly conduct your foreign policy in a way that saps the motiv

elections in other countries for example united states the famous stories floor of the state when mr bush became president a lot of examples in the history of united states great britain and source on strong so that is why of course you can us here that. the last elections. last elections were absolutely transparent and honest but we must speak of our will. system because if you in these elections there were a lot of new instruments to come through all the selection for example webcams and you. put to literally introduce the web cameras birds some say he ran like a u.s. style election campaign especially in the last couple of weeks and this helped him get even more than expected this you see like signs of u.s. style it important country yes. because from what you've seen him in person yesterday night. i was finally you know it was for me also. because a lot of you through but finally i was on he's a cool waters and i saw him personally but you know. i see of course some. degree of you partly that we can see the company of which it was as you said united states style because. we you know t

it was mr. bush who appointed him to the federal reserve. he is an example of bipartisanship. and what i find a lot of my colleagues like bipartisanship, they just haven't found something about it they want to tolerate. mr. bernanke's concern for inflation and unemployment is a big one. the notion we should say, okay, to the federal reserve, you don't pay attention to unemployment, we'll handle that and you should simply try to prevent inflation invites them to impose an interest rate machine which would be unfortunate. by the way, i would contrast the federal reserve under our dual mandate with the european central bank until recently with the unitary mandate of just inflation. i think frankly the federal reserve's record of trying to balance the economy has been a better one, and to some extent the european central bank is improved because they almost explicitly have been following the model of the u.s. federal reserve which has cooperated with them. so yes, i think we should reduce the deficit, but to talk about doing that by cutting social security and medicare to the excl

everybody remembers mr bush for the first. time for the power of the most general question was who is mr putin going to need to put that question in a longer because everybody understands mr putin is what is true to expect how does he support us a bold move the mystical for important. context and indeed changes. the that's the most change just to take place in our domestic politics while the foreign port of seattle continue to keep its continuity for the simple reason that foreign policy or russia is very much keystone russia mentioned national interests and these national interests are a different take on key to a portal here if. you want it is a prothesis we are taking place in the global downturn we want to be treated fairly him home. on legal grounds and of these will not change and definite near russia will continue kowtowed toto toto promotes. to promote he newman writes to promote democracy to want to promote the same they'll use the char shared by most countries in the discussion as we head into a new era under a new pr

a lot of the people in the republican candidates now are running away from mr. bush which actually was a wartime president and had a lot to do with what was on his plate, but when he got in before 9/11 the first thing he did was reach out to mexico, and he tried to start rational immigration policy, e-verify and some kind of semi-and i know this is a bad word, amnesty, and some sort of rational policy of how workers from mexico could come up and work in our economy and we could know who they were, and they could pay a fair amount of tax es and then 9/11 started, and he to make a shift because we had to respond to this attack which is a pearl harbor type of event that happened. i would like you to make a comment on that. thank you very much for taking my call. >> well, i think you're absolutely right. the fact is before 9/11 the president stood up and said that the most important relationship

opposition leaders and a general lack of direction for the movement of person off was at the time mr bush . well it's fair to say that much less people came to this rally than initially expected by the organizers they were waiting for up to fifty thousand people while police said only around ten thousand people gathered here on the way out about today in moscow this process movement is showing that the figures of those people willing to take part in these rallies are obviously obviously dropping which means that the time of tests has come for the opposition there's still no clear leader in fact a group of nationalists walked out of this march accusing the liberal course of the oppositional for driving the momentum of the protest movement into a dead end the movement he started in december after the fall mentioned you know actually i made accusations about fraud it led to a massive social campaign for a transparent presidential election and indeed unprecedented steps were made to ensure that i'm talking about the web cameras installed over ninety thousand polling stations nearly a million

this is something that will bear to get international attention so whether or not the meeting today mr bush will achieve something remains to be seen indeed there are huge cracks within the syrian opposition. his policy where thank you paul. you're watching archie coming up allegations some lords and m.p.'s could stand to benefit from u.k. health reforms. maybe just wait to fix legislation today three of course now ready to. put the n.h.l. bill and now pound some people have been left wondering if health care will be long strip profits and personal interests. and we bring you the opinion of an internet activist linked to the anonymous group who believes happiness however plays the media as the means of delivering the message of social unrest. the future of u.s. led missile shield plans in eastern europe can develop in two directions either moscow gets guarantees it's not aimed against russia or an arms race is a matter of well that's according to president a speaking out through the new clip nuclear security summit in the south korean capital seoul washington meanwhile has announced it's pl

and mrs. bush just remembers collaborating with the designer, michael faircloth. and wanted a pretty party dress. i think what women -- the first lady wants it to be beautiful. she wants it to be comfortable. she wants it to be appropriate. i think appropriate is the word when first ladies are dealing with clothes. they want to be appropriate for the occasion, appropriate for their age, appropriate for the circumstance and, i think, appropriate as a symbol of the united states. because we still do look at the first lady as representing women in the united states. even when she's not functioning in duty hours, she represents the united states. >> let's take a look at the -- some of the first ladies, about four of them that you've featured here at the exhibit and talk about their roles. >> wonderful. it's this way. >> before you walk into this room, though, you have a quote from first lady michelle obama where she's talking about that there's no formal job description for this unofficial role of the first lady. talk about that quote and how do you think that impacts

should balance budgets inflation targeting and competition on the micro level which is a word that mr bush has abused that much of the cost and he said that we need competition in russia in order to catch up in order to give into the forces an incentive to innovate to become more productive and eventually to to assume we support ambitious targets not just doubly tearaway tree but also including russia's ranking on the ease of doing business in the next one hundred tracy which is very good to twenty which would be very good and at the same time we can be true to excel ratio of the privatization program where again the questions about whether this is something he was committed to in the polls so i think the program is very ambitious but the question really gets under your belt for schoolies reason to do it so well yes you can use also cautiously i was going to ask you could you can it mean any it's going to promise something can be delivered on it's also going to cost a lot of money makes percent of all of the country's g.d.p. that's going to come in the economy yes that's true that's true b
