\ 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

and this is for mr. bush. my understanding is, taiwan, the people elected, there was election and the people participated in electing the leadership of taiwan. in the united states there's going to be money and everything. the people are going to elect the leadership in the united states. mr. bush, who determines whether leaders in china? is this the party election? an election within the communist party? how may people participate in electing the new leadership of china? i think that's very important for our c-span viewers to get an understanding of. >> i think this is an excellent question, that. the process within the prc, the formal process is that the our elections at lower levels of that select delegates to the national party conference which we held sometime this fall. yes, communist party. and then at least on paper, the congress likes the central committee, -- selects the committee. and then -- [inaudible] >> 300. more than 300. and then they select the members of the political bureau, and that's abou

invention of the transistor, the point contact transistor by john bardeen and walter bratton said mr. bush likely came up at the transistor and a host of other kinds of transistors. transistor privacies followed. after that a lot happened was very quick succession. there was a self for instance in 1994, which is the precursor for solar panels today. there is digital communication that caused shannon's information theory, looking at coding and channel capacity, communication of satellites was originally designed and began at bell labs. the first was that eco-satellite which the past it satellites and telstar was enacted communication satellite. the minix operating system for the same language came out of bell labs in the late 60s. the ccd chip, which is the couple's device which is the fundamental unit for digital photography in our cell phones. the theory of the laser. a lot of the semiconductor group temperature came out of bell labs, which had fiber that communications as well as in every dvd player. it was a pretty big list. >> and how did that happen to come out of ma bell? what is the

mr. president bush. >> i think the reason is simple.ecause paul ryan has been serious, talking about these issues. but votes matter. >> and i don't agree with all of his votes. but let's be clear. let's contrast the leadership paul ryan has shown with president obama's lack of leadership. the senate for three years hasn't had a budget. so it is very difficult for democrats to complain how dare the other side get serious about fix is these problems when they don't even pretend to fix the problems. >> he wasn't serious under president bush. why didn't he say america should pay for the war in afghanistan? why didn't he say when we have a tarp programs it need to be available it folks on main street? he was for the automotive bailout. >> did barack obama say any of that? >> the democrats did not. but i tell you what, he are not talking about a guy wh has a career doing something di completely different. he has a budget that doesn't balance and he claims he is a budget balancer. he is using supply side economics. they have a 20% tax policy t

withent be t esident bush.presiden president bush responded and we developed a good relationship with mr. bush. this president has ignored us altogether.amehing we needed an attempted the samew thing them accountable. we have a great relationship with his office. all we ask the president to do was dialogue with us, and the results would have been totally different. we would have taken a different path, but he did not respect us enough to even replied. to this day he has not responded. lou: that is surprising. what is a next step. what are you going to do now? >> unless he does answer and give us an audience we are going to turn up the heat. going across this country, and we don't tell people who to vote for into not to vote for. we don't do that. we don't say, don't vote for the presidents. we make our position known and that the people make up thr mind. we are not politicians. as the president of the united states we feel that he should have given us the respect of responding to us when we asked to meet with him to discuss. lou: we appreciate you being with us. we will talk wit lou: lou: up n

. >> one of the most memorable moments for me was talking to mrs. bush after george w. was elected.lary clinton. how did you do it? there is a challenge of women with children in the white house. how is she handling the upcoming election? it is tough. there are a lot of attack ads. this can't be fun. >> the girls are 14 and 11 now. those are different ages in the 2008 came papaign. she said the kids are focused on their lives. how will this impact me? she said we map out the difference scenarios and either way, their lives will be great. she said they take a lot from how she and the president are doing. if they come home and they act like michelle and barack? they are fine. malia is not reading the newspapers. they are not necessarily in the bubble of the washington beltway that some people think. >> what are the challenges she sees as a mother in the white house? >> the number one thing and she talked about it extensively is making sure the kids are okay. every mom, i feel that way, you want to make sure your kids are on a good source. she is calling friends saying, are they okay?

succeeded that night to all but i think ross perot getting out and and getting back in was fatal for mr. bushconvention here, i think -- i mean, mitt romney, i think, is looking pretty good. an inside straight to win this. he has to win back something like six of the states that were lost last time. now lose any of mccain's states like missouri, which is now employed. i think it can be done. one of the best pieces of news i have seen here is the fact that obama is now at 46 and romney is at 47, what is good about that is not the one. difference but that obama has fewer than half of the country saying they want to reelect him, which means what mitt romney has to do is close the sale. he has failed to do it thus far. he has a golden opportunity coming up this week. >> i remember that very well. the one thing to remember, the response to your remarks. ronald reagan's remarks, he would acknowledge having alzheimer's disease cause of that was his last public event if you think about it. one of the things that i sensed out of the party then is that while conservatives are given a chance to speak an

mr. bushof tampa now, and not taking any of the lime light is probably in the best interest of the party and mitt romney. >> you talked about president bush? >> i beg your pardon? >> your thoughts on president bush? >> i think he's a good president. he's a good, honest family man who had good intentions for america. the time to get spending under control is going to be a big part of our politics going forward. and i think any criticism that many of the conservatives have might have been regarding the spending. i think moving forward it's time to get more physically responsible. >> first-time delegates from texas. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> we have about another five minutes to hear your reactions from the around the country. next is up a call from houston. >> thank you for taking my call. i'm just calling to -- well, i was listening that eva longoria's going to be at the democratic convention. just to let everybody know that all hispanics are with obama. well, that's not rig

bush, of course, won the state of ohio, and mr. bush won a second term as president.r a congressional committee called out ohio for the way it had run that election. congress called on ohio to reform its elections to make things work better. but it was not just ohio where people waited if line in 2004. in florida, that year, people also waited in long hours in lines at the polls. we went back to look for old footage of those lines in ohio, we also found these images, people lined up at the polls in the great state of florida waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for the chance to vote. that night, george w. bush, of course, won the state of florida as well. after the debacle of the '04 election, officials in the states took another look at early voting. at whether offering more days and more hours for early voting might help more voters vote without it taking all day. and lots of people leaving the polls in frustration without voting because they just didn't have the time to wait. voters also decided maybe there was something to that earl

mr. bush, how do -- who determines who are the leaders in china? is this a party election?election within the communist party to select a leadership with the party to then become country's leaders? how many people participate in legislating the new leadership of china? i think that's important for the c-span viewers to have an understanding of. >> excellent question, pat. >> the process within the prc, the formal process, is that there are elections at lower levels that select delegates to the national party congress, which will be held sometime this fall. >> [inaudible] >> yes, communist party paper, the congress selects the central committee, and then a political bureau is selected. >> [inaudible] >> 300. [inaudible conversations] >> more than 300. they select the members of the political bureau, and that's about 30, and then they also select the standing committee of the bureau, and there's a lot of rumors flying around how big the standing committee will be this time. nine as before or seven? this is the process on paper. actually, the process is that the organization d

there was a gentleman, mr. bush who foresaw the underlying science infrastructure. it created everything that dick and i and represent. in the '40s and '50s. they laid the groundwork for physics. all that for people to say, yeah, dc a frist sector. they don't understand how it really works. the question is not does it have a role, what is the right role? it's clear that america's leadership research universities is the key part of that. 18 of the top 20 leading university until the world. china had 0. sorry to go back to the subject. and the fact of the matter is there's something about the american educational system at the higher level, college and beyond, which produces people who can create things of great value for the world. we fled invest in that. let start with investing more education. at every level. it doesn't mean giving higher raises for union members. [applause] it means creating choices by measurement systems. we are going back to producing students as good as the koreans, the japanese, the indians. if you're not willing to take it as a bias. it's har

and so when the republicans came in under mr. bush, they took it away. and, of course, this administration has not yet decided that that vote should take place. of course, it depends on who the house majority leader is, and we don't expect john boehner to do anything for anybody, quite frankly. but, you know, your question about reform policy, justice and a marshall plan is an extremely well-taken question. >> host: y'all korean malvo, one of your greatest influences you included julian richardson, founder of market books. what's the back story? >> guest: well, the bookstore is in san francisco and in oakland. once upon a time is literally across the street from city hall. so we would cut school to go down to marcus books. he had all the revolutionary books, all the black authors, he had a men's discussion group, and my dad would go there, and sometimes i'd just be a little girl with pigtails listening to these guy cans talk about amazing things and decide. rich, as he was called, was amazing and a thinker. he had his own press, so he published things. h

during the bush/cheney area, mr. of congress voted for all of the things in the george w. bush era that cost a lot of money and that were not paid for at all. two massive tax breaks, two wars, the medicare part "d" expansion, which cost hundreds of billions of dollars, the wall street bailout. none of those things were paid for. every penny of their costs were added to the national charge card, asking future generations to pick up the tab. a fiscal conservative would not have made those votes disturb the bush/cheney area, but mr. ryan did. in the obama area, mr. ryan is now pushing a button that keeps the bush tax cuts, again, whether or not you like the bush tax cuts, they are not a fiscally conservative thing. they were not paid for, they were just larded on to the deficit. he keeps those budget-busting bush tax cuts whole, and then he adds on to them, more than $4 trillion more in tax cuts that hugely, disproportionately, go to the richest people in this country. hundreds of thousands of dollars going to every mill

mr. bush is a friend. i basically loved the guy even when i disagreed with him. didn't like the drug into ottomans. it wasn't paid for. i thought he spent too much money on education and put too much federal authority into education. i did like is lower marginal tax rates in 2003. i think they helped launch a boom. he inherited a recession, a tech bubble, 9/11. those were difficult things. he tried to revamp freddie mac and fannie mae. i give him credit for that. i do not blame bush for that. put together the rescue package for the banks. that was done in 2008 while bush was still president. president obama built on that for better or worse. bush is very much a mixed bag. the deficit was about 1.5% of gdp and the unemployment rate was 5%. george bush has a mixed record and i'm the first guy to limit that. host: a question from maverick on twitter. i have no trouble with governor romney provided additional tax returns. i say let it all hang out. the remarks by harry reid that romney has not paid taxes in 10 years or without fact. he has no sources and it is stupid

mr. bushes who became presidents of the united states?earances last night in a slightly different way. >> integrity, honesty were never a scandal around his presidency. i think we forget the importance of that. they'll remember him for being a good honest president who got a lot of things done. i think the thing i take pride in is the integrity. >> history will remember him as a great president. not only was he well prepared for the job, but when the unexpected took place, he handled it with vision, clear strategy and calm nerves. >> steve: that's right part of the rnc video that aired at 7:50 eastern time and over in the hall, i understand everybody looking up, everybody remembering back to the administrations of 41 and 43. >> brian: you know what would have made that better? bill clinton. if you ever hear bill clinton talk about bush 41 and 43. >> steve: they're like brothers. >> brian: they've done speeches together. he will go up -- and goes, let me tell but george bush and what he did and what he was facing. >> steve: all part of tha

bush's brother. >> mr.s time to stop blaming your predecessor for your failed economic policy. >> reporter: florida senator mark orubeo. >>e problem is that he's a bad president. >> reporter: clint eastwood. >> when somebody does not do the job, we have to let them go. >> reporter: romney friends tried to humanize him with testimony to his good deeds. >> he shoveled snow and raked leaves for the elderly. >> reporter: helped a dying boy write his will. >> we were able to give his skateboard, model rockets and fishing gear to his best friend. >> reporter: a business associate. >> if

we have more respect -- more peace with other countries and had with mr. bush. every time republicans are in, we get in another war. the poor are getting poorer and richer getting richer. i live this way and i don't want to live that way again. host: up next is steeg, who is a member of the middle-class as defined by pew. caller: it is really not that complicated. 10 geithner and barack obama, not george bush. i get so tired of hearing that nonsense that bush did it. bush turned it from a low blow of 9/11 to prosperity. barack obama and tim director have presented -- have printed so much money that literally 50% of the value of the dollars i have left are less than what they are worth could have destroyed the value of the dollar. they killed 50% of mitt romney's , but that really did not help me. as far as barack obama, if you look around the world, there are millions and millions of people dying, and his environmental policy is killing people. host: state, what kind of work do you do in haymarket? caller: i am in site development, and that industry is gone now.

caller: i think mr. bush would bring energy to the campaign and help carry florida. there is also a hispanic support connection there. it would certainly draw further needed contrast from the republican view. host: thank you for the call. from "the washington post." host: jan it is on the phone from grand rapids, michigan. good morning. caller: i would like to recommend allen west. he is from florida. he is in the military. he is a black conservative. the tea party would support him. and i would love to see him in a debate with joe biden. host: thank you for the call. senator robert portman is one of those names often mentioned. he campaigned for mitt romney. once the nominee is selected, and irrelevant video related will also be posted at c- span.org. here is senator portman. [video clip] >> barack obama promised to turn things around. we gave him the ball. he fumbled lowball. it is now time to give the ball to mitt romney. he can do it. our destiny can still be great. this country can be the american century. we need new leaders. host: center rob portman on the cam

mr. bush is a friend. i basically loved the guy even when i disagreed with him.like the drug into ottomans. -- of the entitlements. it wasn't paid for. i thought he spent too much money on education and put too much federal authority into education. i did like is lower marginal tax rates in 2003. i think they helped launch a boom. he inherited a recession, a tech bubble, 9/11. those were difficult things. he tried to revamp freddie mac and fannie mae. i give him credit for that. they were not able to do so. it is a very complicated matter. i do not blame bush for that. he did put together the rescue package for the banks. that was done in 2008 while bush was still president. president obama built on that for better or worse. bush is very much a mixed bag. the deficit was about 1.5% of gdp and the unemployment rate was 5%. unfortunately, the financial collapse blew that out of the water. george bush has a mixed record and i'm the first guy to limit that. host: a question from maverick on twitter. do you feel mitt romney should provide additional tax returns? why o

in the past week you heard both mr. bush and mr. about how this party's gone too far to the right on immigration, on women's issues. and i think he is trying to -- he's going to speak at this convention because he understands that our party is a party of a big tent, a party that's focused on the middle class. >> there's a truth -- i think there's a nugget of truth with everything everybody's saying. i'm back with carly. i think this is opportunism. this is trying to recreate and rebrand yourself as a new -- this is my brand. i am the former this. now i'm this. everybody pay attention to me for a couple of days. >> there's no one in america who thinks that charlie crist would be slipping in to your big tent if he hadn't lost a primary campaign to marco rubio. you think he's just out of -- you know, he's had coming to jesus moment. >> i can tell you what he said. he said that the republican party has gone too far to the right. bob dole has said that. jeb bush has said that the party has to move to the center and speak to a broader cro
