mrs. bush: when is it normal? mrs. obama: it's not normal. mrs. ush: and you have a slumber party with 30. mrs. obama: yeah, just ignore the guys with the guns. i remember one parent-teacher conference when barack went and there were swat guys on top of the roof of the school. malia was like, dad, really? really? do they really have to be up there? and it's like, yeah, honey, they do. let's just keep walking. just keep going. just keep going. bob: they got to put up with that even after they leave. there's going to be security. mrs. obama: well, it's different for -- mrs. bush: it's a different level. mrs. obama: we don't want to talk about it too much but it's not the same as what it will be for the president -- the former president and former first lady. they're all singing, hey, we're out of here. we get to ditch our agents pretty soon but it's a different level of security. bob: i'm really helping my four kids get back to normal when i leave abc news. [laughter] bob: after i was hit, though, i had to tell my little kids, ok. i'm a new rule. i a

[laughter] mr. bush: good. you looked at me like my clock was up. i think that the way to grow this economy is to keep taxes low, is have an energy plan, is to have litigation reform. as i told you, we've just got a report that said over the past 13 months, we've created 1.9 million new jobs. we're growing. and so the fundamental question of this campaign is: who's going to keep the economy growing so people can work? that's the fundamental question. mr. gibson: i'm going to come back one more time to how these numbers add up and how you can cut that deficit in half in four years, given what you've both said. mr. kerry: well, first of all, the president's figures of $2.2 trillion just aren't accurate. those are the fuzzy math figures put together by some group that works for the campaign. that's not the number. number two, john mccain and i have a proposal, jointly, for a commission that closes corporate giveaway loopholes. we've got $40 billion going to bermuda. we've got all kinds of giveaways. we ough

interestingly, mrs. bush was strong when president bush was weak and he was weak when she was strong. he could not stand watching robin be treated in the hospital, he can stand the shots and seeing her in pain so he would bolt out of the room leaving barbara to maintain the order and the love in the hospital room in that hour. after robin died, it was president bush who would hold mrs. bush all night as she cried and stopped for month after month as she tried to cope with this unimaginable loss. i also asked president bush, inl the course of doing this, what did the death of robin teaching. he said without hesitation, life is unpredictable and fragile. i submit that he led his life and govern the nation and what henry kissinger once referred to as the most tumultuous. and he since truman. with this sense that everything could end tomorrow and therefore you had to do the best you could today. you had to do everything to make fo the world a little bettererythiu because one could never be sure when everything wo

mr. bush: my standpoint is more of a historic perspective. i've loved the unique features of texas. i love military history. i served in the military myself. when you look at the alamo, it provides tourists a compelling experience. the opportunity to reimagine the alamo and for us to take that to another level. who we are as a people, as texans. the alamo can be a centerpiece for taking on the controversial issues of the past. whether it is slavery, whether it is mexican control of mexican texas. for a student of history, that is what draws me to this issue other than being land commissioner and day to day manager. i think it is an incredible educational opportunity. >> phil, you are kind of the odd man out because you grew up in england. [laughter] had the longest fandom of the alamo. phil: in england where i was growing up, we had a little black and white television. on and the turned it wild frontier was on. inre was something about him the jacket that appealed to me. when he went to this p

mr. vice president. vice pres. bush: well, andrea, you didn't predicate that lack of economists' support for what i call a flexible freeze, because some good very good economists do support that concept. and i think where i differ with the governor of massachusetts, because i am optimistic. they jumped on me yesterday for being a little optimistic about the united states. i am optimistic and i believe we can keep this longest expansion going. i was not out there when that stock market dropped, wringing my hands and saying this was the end of the world, as some political leaders were, because it isn't the end of the world. and what we have to do is restrain the growth of spending. and we are doing a better job of it. the congress is doing a better job of it. and the dynamics work. but they don't work if you go raise taxes and then the congress spends it -- continues to spend that. the american working man and woman are not taxed too little. the federal government continues to spend too much. [applause] vice pres. bush: h

mr. vice president. vp bush: and the cynics abounded. and he is leaving office with a popularity at an all-time high, because american people -- bernard: mr. vice president, your time has expired. vp bush: say, he is our hero. [applause] bernard: ann has a question for you, mr. vice president. ann: let's change the pace a little bit, mr. vice president. in this campaign, some hard and very bitter things have been spoken by each side about each side. if you'd consider for a moment gov. dukakis and his years of public service, is there anything nice you can say about him, anything you find admirable? vp bush: you're stealing my close. i had something very nice to say in there. ann: somebody leak my question to you? vp bush: no, let me tell you something about that. barbara and i were sitting there before that democratic convention, and we saw the governor and his son on television the night before and his family, and his mother who was there. and i'm saying to barbara, you know, we've always kept family as a bit o

mr. bush picked dan quayle. i think that says a great deal about the standards we will set and the quality of people we will pick to serve in our administration. [applause] mr. shaw: to each of you candidates regrettabley i have to inform you we've come to the end of our questions. that's a pity. before i ask the candidates to make their closing remarks, on behalf of the commission on presidential debates, i would like to thank all of you for joining us this evening. governor dukakis, yours is the first closing statement. governor dukakis: 28 years ago as a young man just graduated from law school i came to this city and clear across the country to watch john kennedy be nominated for the presidency of the united states right here in los angeles. i never dreamed that some day i would win that nomination and be my party's nominee for president. that's america. that's why i'm proud and grateful to be a citizen of this country. 6 days from today, you and millions of americans will choose two people to lead us into th

mrs. bush, his mother was so convinced that the move to the frontier, that she would send her daughter with a box of soap because she didn't think texas had any. they moved to midland. they get the diagnosis. the doctor says, with all sincerity, i think the thing to do is simply take her home, make her comfortable and she will be gone in a few months. george bush being george bush could not accept that. he walks outside, gets on a pay phone and calls his uncle, jon walker, who is the head of the hospital in your. he says bring her up, we will do what we can. she survived through some very difficult treatments through october, columbus day weekend of 1953. it was a great have to close the crisis of the bush marriage and the bush family life. it brought them closer together. as you all may know, many couples who lose a child drift apart. interestingly, mrs. bush was strong when president bush was weak. and he was weak when she was strong. he could not stand watching robin be treated in the hospit

president, mrs. bush, the vice president, mrs. quayle.or dole, all my friends and all the members of congress, justice white and my future colleagues, and all your wonderful family members, friends, supporters, and those who helped, even as i am joyful at this event, i am deeply saddened by the death of mrs. rehnquist and i join in the heartfelt condolences to the chief justice and his family. since that bright, sunny day in kennebunkport, july 1, it have been many difficult days. as we all went through the confirmation battle. and i mean we all. but on this sunny day in october, at the white house. there is joy. joy in the mourning. [applause] i thank almighty god. i thank those who stood along the road of 43 years of my life, from pinpoint to the supreme court, from 1948 to 1991. i think my mother and my father, my wonderful grandparents, the nuns, my relatives, my neighbors, my friends. all who insisted that i make something of myself. and, all who stood ready to help me do just that. i thank america for the ideals, the opportunity, an

president bush or mr. perot? president bush: i think if barbara bush were running this year she'd be elected. but it's too late. (laughter) you don't want us to mention appointees, but when you see the quality of people in our administration, see how colin powell performed -- i say administration -- >> (inaudible). president bush: you weren't impressed with the fact that he -- >> excuse me. i'm extremely impressed with that. president bush: yeah, but wouldn't that suggest to the american people, then, here's a quality person, if he decided that he could automatically get the nomination of either party? >> sure -- i just wanted to know -- yes. president bush: huh? >> i'm totally impressed with that. i just wanted to know is, when's your- president bush: oh, i see. >> when? president bush: i don't know -- starting after 4 years. ms. simpson: mr. perot. president bush: i think you'll see more minority candidates and women candidates coming forward. ms. simpson: we have -- thank you. president bush: this is supposed t

both mrs. bush's troops to teachers initiative and mrs. obama's program to get states to waive licensing time periods for people, those are direct result of listening to people. presidents go in and make speeches, first ladies go in and listen. that is a way that change can happen that is completely different from the presidential role. i must say that the cartoons of the time we were talking about said the president and mr. harding. [laughter] >> but she had great hats. cokie roberts: she did have great hats. she had reason to keep him down. [laughter] we then saw eleanor roosevelt actually in uniform, right? bill, do you want to talk about that? william seale: only that she became very involved during the -- with the military during the wac uniform that she wore and she made endless trips everywhere, military installations, horrible all night trips in old airplanes. wherever she went, there was cheering. when they first went to the white house, the protesting soldiers were still out in the park together camping in a park on the parkway.

[applause] this was a great achievement. i tell you, i feel like singing the song at the march on washington over 50 years ago, how we got over. there were some who said it could not happen. who said, you can't do it. but we did. we did it. we are gathered here today to dedicated bui

to military service initiative to satisfy the president and mrs. bush at the georgia the bush institute. these are great examples of using their platforms during and after their white house years. there are many organizations that are here that have been supporting joining forces and the military service initiative as well as service members and veterans and military spouses, as i thank you all for joining us today. with that, i would like to welcome to the stage dr. neil kerwin, the president of american university, to introduce our first distinguished panel. he became the american university's 14th president in 2007. a 1975 is ayou member of the faculty, then began the dean of public affairs , later the provost, and then the president. he is a visionary and a great leader, and was instrumental in encouraging me to develop this initiative as he watched with great interest the growing influence of the first lady in and politics, and in global diplomacy. he came to have breakfast with me at the white house in 2009 to talk about the idea. at the time, i c

[applause] mr. bush? gov. dukakis: before he picked inkwell, he said watch my choice for vice president, it will tell all. it sure did. [applause] >> mr. vice president, yes we read your lips -- no new taxes. despite that same pledge from president reagan after income tax rates were cut in each of the last five years, some federal taxes have gone up. on social security, liquor, even long-distance telephones. that is money straight out of people's wallace. is the phrase "no new taxes" misleading the voters? v.p. bush: no, because i am pledged to that. yes some taxes have gone up. the main point is that taxes have been cut, in your income is up to the federal government by 25% in the last three years. and so i want to keep this expansion going. i don't want to kill it off by a tax increase. more americans at work today than at any time in the history of this country, and a greater percentage of the workforce. the way that you kill expansions is to raise taxes. i don't want to do that, and i want to that. -- i wo

the edge in the debate while an abc news poll of 504 people said mr. bushompared to 32% for mrs. ferarro. if you have a lousy showing in your first debate, sometimes your running mate can bail you out and the vice presidential debate which comes next. it's become a new principle of modern american politicking. you could argue that dick cheney did that for george h.w. bush after his bad debate in 2004. polls showed bush losing debate 2004. he lost it convincingly to john kerry. you could also add that a fired up joe biden did it for president obama. so your number two can help you out. they might even save you after you stumble out of the gate. and that is the predicament right now for the trump/pence campaign. in the past week, multiple polls have confirmed the instant analysis that donald trump got clobbered last week. tomorrow night on the debate stage, mike pence will do what he can to keep this modern theme going of bad presidential candidates being rescued by their running mates, or if they're not bad presidential candidates, maybe they're just good pr

but mr. bush is elected president, why? >> we are a nation of laws. electoral college and the vote was over according to spring court, al gore supported, that's what donald trump ought to do. if he loves this country, and if he wants to see our democracy to be the bee cacon of how remanaw our political affairs, he will say our country's first, we have a new leader and we'll move on. support the leader and solve the problem of the country and make it greater. congressman, thank you sir for being here and pass along of the fact that this is not a reopening of the investigation because it was never really closed, there are outstanding issues with this. >> right >> comey's letter was sent to the hills out of the an abundance of precautions. >>> kate snow is here to take things over. >> it is not over yet. breaking news we are continuing to follow the fbi director is now saying the fbi discovered new e-mails pertinent to the investigation. no time line or explanation of what this new material is or where it came from. a few hours ago on the 500th days of h

i would say i concur with everything mr. bush has said. since were in that mode. i also want to say that i think while mr. singh croix screwed up, clearly the commission itself could not provide as much proactive and concurrent oversight as it needed to. we are all thrilled to see this is changing. i am want to assure the public that i think we are all now on the right track finally after 21 years or so of this existence of this agency that we are finally starting to smell the coffee. now i would say in specifics of this case like the wind that sweet case, there is much to be learned from this mistake and we need to scrub both of those things come up both cases, to see where we could improve process goes after all, former head of common cause in san francisco that is my greatest concern is the integrity of the process, the process which here as in the sweet case had failed. it had failed our public trust on public financing in the suite of matter and in this case on a her rent this stealing of an election. i think that if we scrub hard enough were going to find ans
