mr. president bush, going down that same road again. >> mcgovern went on to call for the impeachment of president bush and vice president cheney. mcgovern ran again in 1984 but withdrew again. president bill clinton honored mcgovern with the medal of freedom. president obama called mcgovern quote a championship peace. >>> a fatal shooting near a popular mall left two people dead. what officers said was the motive behind the mass shooting at a day spa. >>> the vatican making history. what the church did today that one group is calling inspirational and touching. >>> our weather pattern is changing right now. coming up at 10:37 parts of the bay area, the parts of the bay area that will take up to an inch of rain. how does it brew such great coffee? well, inside the brewer are these green fields of coffee, actually, i just press this button. brew what you love, simply. keurig. >>> at least three people are dead and four others wounded after a shooting at a wisconsin spa. the gunman is dead. the spa is in a two story 9,000 square foot building across the street from a mall. >> if we saw some woman cr

mr. mondale have criticized the president on international terror. what would you do to reduce the attached? >> mr. bush has preferred to the embassy that was held in iran. i went to the white house in january in 1981 when all 52 of the hostages came home alive. at that time, president reagan gave a speech welcoming them home. we were so excited to see them back. but he said was, the united states has been embarrassed -- what he said was, the united states has been embarrassed for the last time. next time, there will be swift and immediate steps taken to address the wrong against our country. in april of 1983, i was in beirut and visited the ambassador at the embassy. two weeks later, the embassy was bombed. take a look at the crazy activities of terrorism -- terrorists. you never know what will happen. the following october, there was another bombing. that bombing took place at a marine barracks. right after that bombing occurred, there was a commissions the up. that commission did a study of the security arrangements around where the marines were sleeping. it found there was negligence, that they did

mr. romney did against president bush. him on it in live time right there on the spot so that he can't associate himself with the new romney. he's got to associate mr. ryan with his budget recommendations and with the draconian measures that have been put forth in the past. >> and that budget of course voted on only a few months ago. mark, what are the other main weaknesses you see starting with paul ryan and moving on to joe biden? >> i think his biggest challenge is expectations. you have been talking about that pew poll that shows more people thought that paul ryan is going to do better than joe biden. i watched joe biden four years ago in all the democratic primary debates. he did very, very well. i think going into this debate, joe biden has been underestimated. the guy will come off very, very well, and you end up having a republican base that has put so much energy into paul ryan, who wants him to succeed, and the expectations for his very first debate like this might be a very difficult for him. >> indeed. professo

bush pledged to do. and then after mr. romney got his turn, president obama took hold of that knife that mr. romney had shoved between his own shoulder blades and the president turned that knife 90 degrees. >> you know, there are some things where governor romney is different from george bush. george bush didn't propose turning medicare into a voucher. george bush embraced comprehensive immigration reform. he didn't call for self-deportation. george bush never suggested that we eliminate funding for planned parenthood. so, there are differences between governor romney and george bush, but they're not on economic policy. in some ways, he's gone to a more extreme place when it comes to social policy. and i think that's a mistake. >> any further discussion, gentleman? no. from there, they moved on. the george w. bush question, settled. for undecided voters, who very reasonably might be worrying about putting another republican in the white house, since the last guy was george w. bush, this is what was ringing in your years last night if you've ever thought about that problem. and actually, in te

mr. vice president, you have 30 seconds. >> well, i clearly believe that george w. bush would be a better commander in chief. he's already done it for four years and he's demonstrated without question the conviction, the vision, the determination to win this war against terror. he understands it's a global conflict that reaches from the united states all the way around the globe to jakarta. and those special quality -- qualities are vital in a commander in chief and i think the president has them and i'm not at all certain the opponent has. >> without mentioning them at all, explain to us why you are different from your opponent, starting with you, mr. vice president. >> i am different from john edwards. well, in some respects, i think probably there are more similarities than there are differences in our personal story. i don't talk about myself very much. but i've heard senator edwards and as i listen to him, i find similarities. i come from relatively modest circumstances. my grandfather never even went to high school. i'm the first in my family to graduate from colle

mr. vice president. >> okay. >> time is up. governor bush, two minutes. a i'm absolutely opposed to national health care plan. i don't want the federal government making decisions for consumers or for providers. i remember what the administration tried to do in 1993. they tried to have a national health care plan. and fortunately, it failed. i trust people, i don't trust the federal government. it's going to be one of the themes you hear tonight. i don't want the federal governnt making decisions on behalf of everybody. there isn issue with the uninsured, there sure is. and we have uninsured people in my state. ours is a big state, a fast- growing state. we share a common border with another nation. but we're providing health care for our people. one thing about insurance, that's a washgton term. the questions, are people getting health care, and we have a strong safety net, and there needs to be a safety net in america. there needs to be more community health clinics where the poor can go get health care. we need a program for the uninsured. they've been

mr. beckel. you have a conclusion where mr. bush acted one way in tampa and got murdered for it you have another situation where president obama acted one way after the benghazi murders and coverage was maybe 20% of what the bush coverage was. >> george bush coverage 9/11 got him 90% in the polls. >> bill: immediately after, how he reacted after. >> what is he going to do? talking to a bunch of little kids jump up and be scared and run out of the room and scare everybody? >> bill: you are saying what i'm saying. the network news covered it entirely different. you are super phiing. >> don't say i'm stoop find. bill what stupefies me is some of the things you say that's what stupefies me. >> bill: i know you are amazed at my wisdom but i gave you a rock solid comparison. so you bob beckel, co-host of the five, ladies and gentlemen, you don't believe that there is any tilt at all by the national television networks toward barack obama? >>, there is. >> bill: all right. >> now you are stupefied. i didn't ask to come on the show. >> bill: i didn't ask you to argue with me. you could have agreed with me. >> you usually get people on

president bush. let's watch that. because president bush got very vocal. >> mr.dent, let's extend for a minute. >> i got to answer this. >> exactly. with reservists being held on duty -- >> let me answer what he just said -- >> well, i want to get into the issue. >> you tell tony blair we're going alone. tell tony blair we're going alone. tell berlusconi we're going alone. >> i love this clip. i'm going to tell you what i like about it. the rule of thumb with our gestures, our gestures should be within the frame of our body. when we get bigger, we can do that when we're talking to a bigger audience. when we see george bush, he takes his hand out, he's saying this is a big issue right here, i need to address what just happened. he puts that hand out and then he continues to walk as if he's pulling us along with him. now, body language, a lot of it has to do with your perception. there's not scientific -- every time you do this doesn't mean you're powerful, but it can be perceived as powerful, can be perceived as also arrogant. >> the other thing about a town hall

mr. >> than it does to send them to harvard. i rest my case. >> thank you. president bush, you wanted to --- >> i just have a word of clarification because of something governor clinton said. my school choice program, g.i. bill for kids, does not take public money and give it to private schools. it does what the g.i. bill itself did, when i came out of world war ii. it takes public money and gives it to families or individuals to choose the school they want. and where it's been done; those schools like in rochester, those schools that weren't chosen, find that they then compete and do better. so i think it's worth a shot. we've got a pilot program. it ought to be tried. school choice; public, private, or religious. not to the schools, but -- you know, 46 percent of the teachers in chicago; public school teachers; send their kids to private school. now, i think we ought to try to help families and see if it will do what i think make all schools better. >> i just want to mention, if i could, just --- >> very briefly. >> very briefly. involving the parents in the pre-school e

world's problems sitting down exclusively now with r t mr president thank you very much for sitting down with r.t. thank you very much indeed bush you have assumed the presidency position in a very difficult time these days many would argue that the un. is dealing with somewhat of a crisis in confidence many see the institution as a stage where disagreements are more often displayed rather than all parties seeking or coming to any kind of agreement or solution the most obvious example here is the crisis in syria is the un more about preventing international military interventions rather than resolving conflicts with what i witnessed in the last few weeks. of deliberation after delegation and i had the chance to talk to almost everybody in the last couple of weeks ninety one by a lot of our meetings there was ninety one political meetings i mean a week it was it was approved the whole order what i tried to put forward is the necessity to act swiftly and to act the violence stop now in my opinion. a political future of syria that has to be decided first and foremost by the syrian people. i believe at this strategically important v

is president bush, four years ago, you ran against mr. reagan for the republican nomination.ou disagree with him on such issues as the equal rights amendment, abortion, and even labeled his economic policies as voodoo. now you apparently agree with him on every issue. if you should be called upon to assume the presidency, would you follow mr. reagan's policies down a line or would you refer to your own ideas? >> i don't think there is a great deal of difference between my ideas and president reagan's. one reason i think we are unaffected team is i believe in his leadership. he has really turned this country around. we agree on the economic programs. when we came into office, why inflation was 21.5%, interest rates wiping out every single american, at 21.5%, if you can believe it, productivity is down, savings was down, there was despair and in fact the leadership of the country said there was a melees out there. this president has turned it around and i have been with him every step of the way. of course i would continue those kinds of programs because it has brought america

president who won't apologize fosomething like that? mr. mondale was referring to an earlier debate between george bush and geraldine ferarro, the vice-presidential candidates. >> mr. president, your rebuttal >> yes. i know it'll come as a surpris to mr. mondale, but i am in charge. and, as a matter of fact, we haven't avoided arms control talks with the soviet union. very early in my administration proposed -- and i think something that had never been proposed by any previous administraon -- i proposed a total elimination of intermediate-range missiles, where the soviets had better than a 10 -- and still have -- better than a 10-to-1 advantage over the allies in europe. when they protested that and suggested a smaller number, perhaps, i went along with that. the so-called negotiation that you said i walked out on was the so-called walk in the woods between one of our representatives and one of the soviet union, and it wasn't me that turned it down, the soviet union disavowed it. >> mr. mondale, your rebuttal? >> there are two distinguished authors on arms control in this country-there are many others, but two that i want to cite tonight. one is

next president, even within a relatively stable budget and that's what we are going to have for the foreseeable future will have to make those tough choices that i was talking about and that mr. bush doesn't seem to want to make. and that really is going to be a challenge for the next president of the united states. i don't think there's any question about it. but i also see a tremendous opportunity now to negotiate with the soviet union to build on the progress that we've made with the inf treaty, which i strongly supported and most democrats did to get those reductions in strategic weapons, to get a test ban treaty, and to really make progress on the reduction of conventional forces in europe. and if we can do that and do it in a way that gets deeper cuts on the soviet side, which is where they ought to come from, then i think we have an opportunity over the long haul to begin to move some of our resources from the military to important domestic priorities that can provide college opportunity for that young woman whose mother wrote me from texas just the other day, from longview, texas. two teachers, a mother and a father who have a child that's a freshman in college, an electri

president obama and mr. fiscal conservative voted to increase the debt ceiling by $4 trillion under president bush. seems like right pickens to me, krystal. >> frankly, he can't be directly honest about the plans because they are toxic. it is not popular to fund tax cuts for the rich on the backs of the poor. that is not something that sells in this election. on the other hand, biden and obama have been very consistent and their policies are broadly popular. they are talking about restoring the middle class. they are talking about the american dream. they have a balanced plan that makes sense to americans. so i think it is very tough for paul ryan. not only does he have to defend his own budget but mitt romney's plans and he has to be able to reconcile the differences between what mitt romney has been selling and what his actual policies are. >> now, meanwhile, governor romney, chris, says that people in the country don't die from lack of health insurance. i'm going to read a quote. we don't have a setting across this country where if you don't have insurance, we just say to you, tough luck, you're

president obama is not pressing independents in florida by running on bill clinton's record and blaming george w. bush. independents are saying, what about your record, mrpresident. >> we'll talk a lot more about the undecided states of america not hour. be sure to stay with us for that. we'll talk about new hampshire, the four electoral votes there could really be the difference in this historically close race. >>> this is a story that has a lot of people. we have the latest on malala, the 15-year-old girl shot by the taliban. s everyday you see all the ways all of us at us bank are helping grow our economy. lending more so companies and communities can expand, grow stronger and get back to work. everyday you see all of us serving you, around the country, around the corner. us bank. . >>> residents of char lsten and other cities are awaiting sandy's approach. the exact time and location of landfall, who knows. the storm is currently in the atlantic ocean. meteorologist alexandria steele will be along with the latest on is the storm's path. >>> sandy is expected to have a major impact on land and in the air. now, right now, amtrak says all of its trains

mr. president, if you were for extending all the bush rates a couple years ago, and arguably the gdp wastronger than it was and is now, and you argue that now and then was not the time to do it? then he did catch the president in a, what the, you know what. >> i think the president, the situation he found himself in was he did not want to see taxes go up on people making less than $250,000 a year. he wanted to see and consistency said he would like to continue that level of taxation on people earning less than $250,000. he was running in, however, to a very hard core obstruction deal saying we're not going forward with that if you don't include the millionaires and billionaires, and the president was left in a position of having to compromise in order to keep the recover going. neil: governor romney was aggressive? >> the more aggressive, give him that. i don't think he changed the game, and, in fact, he admitted he wanted to turn medicare into a coucher program, all be it for those of us approaching 55. i thought the president called him out on that well. i don't think he gets away any

mr. vice president and governor bush. we're gonna move on. we're gonna have to move on. all right, there were 12 questions on foreign and military matters, and the first one that we're going to ask will be directed to you, governor bush. and david norwood is going to ask it. mr. norwood, where are you? there you are. >> what would you make -- what would make you the best candidate in office during the middle east crisis? >> i've been a leader. i've been a person who has to set a clear vision and convince people to follow. i've got a strategy for the middle east. and first let me say that our nation now needs to speak with one voice during this time, and i applaud the president for working hard to diffuse tensions. our nation needs to be credible and strong. when we say we're somebody's friend, everybody has got to believe it. israel is our friend and we'll stand by israel. we need to reach out to moderate arab nations as well to build coalitions to keep the peace. i also need -- the next leader needs to be patient. we can't put the middle east peace process on our timeta
