i said, thank you, mrs. bush. that is what i was thinking with my mind. but in my mouth was thinking, whoa, we're really getting it off here. i heard myself say, following up on the fascinating fact that i shot at the same supermarket as her son, i said, he is very tall. i swear peter it is true, but i am sure the first lady was already aware of that fact. now she's looking around for the guy with the tranquilizer and dart gun. she said, he did not just grow this year. thank god. they took the picture, and it was over. i had to get the ridicule from my federal journalist on the way back to the hotel, marveling at my interviewing techniques. wondering what i would ask that lee harvey of what it i had the opportunity. they talk about spontaneous human combustion were people turn into flames and the scientists cannot explain why. i can explain why. sometimes it is your best option but don't so that really is how i became a humor writer. i was not good as a journalist. i must liro did on my own. then i ran it -- i mostly w rote it on my own. i was in and and

bush institute, mrs. bush continues her work on global health care innovations, and powering women in emerging democracies, education reform, and supporting the women and men who serve in america's military. in september, 2011, the bush institute, the u.s. government, una, and the susan g. komen for the care announced $85 million red rivet initiatives, a partnership to leverage our resources to combat cervical and breast cancer in developing nations. my organization care at the honor of having mrs. bush as the keynote speaker at our annual conference a couple of years ago. she was introduced them by her twin daughters, barbara and jenna, who gave one of the most touching introductions i have ever heard. they painted a fuller picture of their mother and reminded all of us of the multiple roles women balance every day in ways that are truly remarkable. as they did, i want to present to you a woman leader of great depth and accomplishment as i have noted but a woman was also a wife, and mother, and a friend to al

assistance for us and unfortunately we had to raise this issue more than once with americans both mr bush and mr africa. and you know the book is still in the one of the federal prisons and he is in a special cell for. the most. dangerous criminals he definitely does not in his present condition. in particular he does not represent any. clear and present danger to the security of the united states president obama promised to close down guantanamo bay and one russian citizen is also serving a sentence in that prison but he hasn't been able to do that so far do you think it will be easier for him to accomplish that if he's reelected well there is still some time before the election so. i don't want to speculate about the upcoming american elections who will win and what will happen you know it's definitely the will of the american people but. this particular. problem is a good big you know in the you would read stormy because that particular prism is a very special institution and no norms of international law. be it international or international humanitarian law or you know they are not r

like america versus rochelle what you know the reason lot of hollywood is in the in the story of mr bush i mean. i don't mean only that famous movie a lot of the war you know which we fortunately also became a factor in the which must not happen factor in the last year but but you know he was sentenced for as it was for intentions you know for inventions to can mean something illegal in the use of in the eyes of the american system of justice what we've seen is of course lack of. objective and impartial. legalistic approach one more issue we keep pushing the american authorities. to ensure. you mean conditions for our citizens in prison it is not good. russian citizens in american prisons being deprived of medical assistance for us and unfortunately we had to raise this issue more than once with the americans both mr bush and mr you're a shrink. and you know all the buddhists still in the one of the federal prisons and he is in a special cell for. the most dangerous criminals he definitely does not in his present condition. in particular he does not represent any. clear and present dange

in a recent interview, mr. bush talked about his role as former president and why he's staying out of the public eye. >> i think it's bad for the presidency to have former presidents believe yating, opining, or telling people how it ought to be done. eight years was awesome, and i was famous and i was powerful, but i have -- i have no desire for fame and power anymore. i -- i don't want to undermine our president. whoever is president. and a former president can do that. and i think it's bad for the presidency itself. either you're in or out of politics, peter. and i've chosen to be out. i mean you can't be halfway. you know, and given the environment today, with all the blogs and this that and the other i mean it's like, you know, i told -- i -- pretty unattractive metaphor, but i said i crawled out of the swamp and i'm not crawling back in. and you know, i'm interested in politics. i'm -- you know, i'm a supporter of mitt romney. i hope he does well. but, you know, he can do well without me. >> president bush says

mr. bush is grateful for the invitation but said he is enjoying his time off. the spokesperson said mr. romney will be a great president. >> and we want to turn back to our coverage of the shooting massacre in colorado. short time ago, police briefed the media on the latest on their investigation. >> and all of this comes as additional family and loved ones are speaking out about the who are filing sequence of events. we are live in aurora, colorado. sandra thanks for joining us. what can you tell us about the reports that we are hearing that holmes dyed his hair red and called himself the joker? >> that's right. federal law enforcement sources say that that is, in fact, the case. the suspect apparently dyed his hair head -- red and said he was the joker and they are trying to find out a motive and not releasing any evidence in the investigation so far but the real hot spot is the one-bedroom apartment that the 24-year-old lived in which was walking distance to the university of colorado school of medicine where he was a neuroscience ph.d. student and he was go

\ commissioner hayon: does this go to the point that was made by mr. bush? vice president studley: x that not all of these are filed electronically. if they are filed electronically, then they have to be entered. chair hur: we are proposing that any thing that inspired electronically, and we are proposing that more be filed electronically, it will be made available faster than if we had to scan it. vice president studley: would form 700, this would be a separate item for us to take on. none of that has been addressed. >> prior to now, state law had a requirement. in the past, we did is we made the electronic filing process available but not mandated, so people can file them electronically, and when they do that, they are readily available. but most of the people are required. commissioner hayon: thank you. chair hur: the other question i had was about the electronic version of schedule d. >> says schedule d, the way the state constructed electronic format for the is complicated, and as a result, the way needed to complete that is laborious in the electronic

that really cultivates and gets people to really respect him, and i think there is a relationship, mrs. bushks upon president bush as a father figure. and he comes and he calls, and he comes up to the house and they speak for hours. i think the president respects -- president bush respects president clinton's ability to talk forever, as we well know. >> it's clear they talk for hours. >> and i would say that probably one of the great things about president bush is he seems to be a very good listener. he's always -- >> well, that's a really important point. joe asked why this reversal of judgment, and dignity and grace are a huge part of it. george h.w. bush is not a perfect man, but there is kind of an innate recognition of his decency that's become more popular. >> absolutely. >> i love the quotes that the grandkids say and it's going to be a great read of him holding the pages of this magazine on sunday. michael steele, do you want to jump in? >> i do. you talk about the bushes and the bush family. you've got president 41, 43, jeff bush as governor of pennsylvania and probably candidates d

. >> our thanks so much to jon karl and to mrs. bush. >>> and one more note. republican presidential candidate mitt romney touched down in london today, just in time for the opening ceremonies at the olympics. it's hitz first stop on a week-long trip that including israel and poland. and though those opening ceremonies are still two dames away, the games have already begun. so far, there are mixups, there is mayhem and today, a victory for team usa. here's abc's nick schifrin. >> reporter: spectacular comeback. u.s.'s soccer team beat france 4-2. and at least they got to celebrate under the right flag, which not everyone got to do today. look at this. that's the south korean flag on the board there, but those are north corkorean athletes. because of that, they refused to take the field for an hour. that was just one of the stumbles today. look closely at the logos there. those with keen eyes might realize some are fake. in this era, the egyptian athletes are wearing chinese copies. the real thing, too expensive. but at least they made it to the olympics. this

other combinations likewise produced additional votes for mr gore giving him a slight margin over mr bush in other words al gore won florida you'd think the revelation that the wrong man is sitting in the white house would be front page news instead it was buried in the seventeenth paragraph in a story in the new york times misleadingly titled study of disputed florida ballots finds justices did not cast the deciding vote the reason why it was buried in that headline was misleading because nine eleven and just happened and the new york times did not want to diminish george bush's claim to the white house in the middle of a national crisis so the stolen elections good and school leah has the school knows this and he has the gall to go on national television and lie about it take a look again and just notice how carefully as he just talked about just those counties of al gore right by guess the one the you know created the most the most waves of. disagreement was bush versus gore ok. it comes up all the time the usual response is get over it the press did extensive. research into what would

mr bush sometimes says the sickness can progress as he believes that technological progress can ensure that safe nuclear energy what's your reaction to environmental. activists they were asleep nuclear energy at the end of it if you look at all especially considering it collect nuclear energy is perfectly environmentally friendly much more so than all other types of power generation such as thermal energy for example in fact it would be more precise to consider nuclear power alternative energy right there with wind power solar energy and hydraulic power engineering which it does not produce greenhouse gases such a period when a nuclear power plant is running normally its impact on the environment equals zero i actually think that all this fuss about the hazards of nuclear energy was our own faults we used to withhold technical information on nuclear power plants and that when there is no reliable information that's when myths. that were in fact the japanese without trial and information in fukushima and first stays at the tragedy . and i think this was an extraordinary blunder on their

mr. bush's 2004 cam main manager going to the naacp in 2005 during president bush's second term, making a genuine effort to court african-american votes. mr. melvin apologized to the naacp on behalf of the republican party for the party's history of playing racial politics in the cast in order to court white voters. he said it was wrong for the republicans to have done that. during the election campaign in 2004, president bush did outreach to the african-american community with a vote with his african-american staring community. the bush administration despite the many, many, many, many, many faults did also make real attempts to reach out to the hispanic community. on policy, george w. bush advocated for comprehensive immigration reform. he reached out to democrats like ted kennedy to reach out the broken immigration system in a bipartisan way. he failed, of course, but at least he tried on the policy. and on politics the bush team did so much outreach to the hispanic community that he managed to increase his share of the hispanic vote from 2000 to 2004 when he was dramatically less popu
