mr. eisenhower? >> we can and will if you help. taxes have gone up steadily for 15 years the democrats say they have to go up more, help me put the lid on crazy government spendsing. >> eisenhower, answers america. >> my children hear so much good government crime, they think everyone is crooked. >> i know, too many of our politicians have told integrity down the river. we must bring it back to washington. >> general, if war comes, is this country ready? >> it is not. the administration has spent many billions in national defense and we have not enough planes nor the fighting in korea, it's time for a change. >> eisenhower answers america. >> they say i never had it so good, but my pension will not feed me or my wife. >> it's not your pension, it's the same with our bonds and social security, they have all gone down, yes, it's time for a change. >> eisenhower, answers america. >> mr. eisenhower, what are you going to do about taxes? >> we are going bring them down. and here is how. we are going to cut out the billions that washingto

it was a depth of her reaction when she came to the white house and had a love experience with mrs eisenhower. and she said that the -- when the white house was reconstructed during the truman administration, it was falling down, they scooped out everything in the inside and built new floors, they ran out of money, so they made a deal with one of the stores and they refurnished that way and that is what it looked like. the restoration of the white house is written off as interior decoration, she had to raise this money which was not easy. she had to keep particularly two or three advisers from essentially colliding with one another. and sister parish to some extent too. if anyone doubts her political skills, the fact that she was able to do it and get it in on time and under budget and for the white house to look the way it does today, if it were not for her, it would still look like a bad convention hotel. >> the eisenhowers do not come off terribly well. president eisenhower is walking around the white house in golf shoes leaving holes in the floor. but i felt sorry for mimi. to have been s

mrs. eisenhower who did not paint her terribly well. you'll have to read it in the book have you haven't seen it yet. but she was shown through the staterooms and she said they looked like bianca or a bad convention hotel, but there was a reason for that, which was when the white house was reconstructed during the truman administration because of falling down, they scooped everything out of the inside and built new floors and so on. they ran out of money, so harry truman characteristically made a deal with b.altmans and they restructured the whole floor of the white house. and it looked that way. sometimes the restoration of the white house is sort of written off as interior decoration or just sort of superficial. she had to raise this money, which was not easy, she had to keep particularly to three advisers, architectural advisers, from essentially colliding with one another, harry dupont, and sister parrish, also, to some extent. so if anyone doubts her political skills, the fact that she was able to do all this, get it in on time und

mrs. eisenhower on the telephone. she tells me that his heart is with us, and she says that there is nothing that he lives more for and there is nothing that would lift him more than for us to win in november. i say, let's win this one for ike! >> pat buchanan. >> that was a great night down there in miami. i remember eisenhower's at walter reed, and i can remember when ike died aa few months later, i believe, and we were by then in the white house. the old man dais -- we called he old man by then. his limousine headed out to walter reed. that was a great moment for nixon. in his speeches, he did write them himself. we went out to montauk, we were the only ones with him at the point. he went out to the end of long island and wrote it, and the way he would write the speech, he'd work on it. he'd say, buchanan, and he called me by the last name. give me three good paragraphs on "law and order" and the phone would hang up. he'd weave what you wrote into his speech, and that speech was a smashing success, as i said, after

mr. eisenhower? >> we can and will.oday an average man with one child has $1200 in taxes squeezed out of his pay, yet the democrats say taxes must go up. but we will put the lid on government spending. >> eisenhower answers america. >> i'm 66, i can't live on my social security. nobody can. >> i stand for expanded social security and more real benefits. believe me, sir, if i am president, i'll give you older folks action, not just sympathy. >> eisenhower answers america. >> we retired on less than a $2,000 pension, and at today's prices we just can't live on it. >> with today's taxes and prices, you need over $4,000 to buy what $2,000 bought then. that's why i say vote for a change. >> eisenhower -- >> can we stop this and move ahead to the next one? okay. i'm sorry, that was, that was many more than i originally want today play for you, but you get the idea. he ran dozens of these, all 15 seconds, and they were really the first spot advertising and the first and maybe last for some time use of spot advertising like tha

mrs. eisenhower brought all this superb furniture into the room. wallpaper. >> reporter: the papers contain a proposed hairstyle to mrs. kennedy to unveil on that famous 1961 trip to paris. >> i'm the man who accompanied jacqueline kennedy to paris and i've enjoyed it. >> reporter: all proving that half a century later, fascination with that glamorous first family continues to live on. and you know what's interesting? this white house tour also marks in some ways a turning point in television history. this was seen as the first prime time documentary special that was marketed toward a female audience, and, of course, it helped make jackie kennedy a star not just here at home, but also around the world. >> norah, thank you so much. joining us now from austin, texas, consultant douglas brinkley. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> what are we learning about jacqueline kennedy? >> well, that 50 years ago on valentine's day she became america's sweet hare and 50 years later she still is. people love to listen to her, listen to her diction, watch

mr. eisenhower? >> we can and will if you help. taxes have gone up steadily for 15 years. the democrats say they must go up still more. help me put the lid on crazy government spending. >> eisenhower answers america. >> my children hear so much about government graft they think everyone is crooked. >> i know. too many politicians have sold their ideals of honesty down the potomac. we must bring back integrity and thrift to washington. this we are determined to do. >> eisenhower answers america. >> general, if war comes, is this country really ready? >> it is not. the administration has spent many billions for national defense yet today we haven't enough planes for the fighting in korea. it is time for a change. >> eisenhower answers america. >> today they say i didn't have it so good yet my pension won't even feed me and my wife. >> it is not just your pension. it is the same with our bond, our savings, our social security. they have all gone down. yes, it is time for a change. >> eisenhower answers america. >> mr. eisenhower, what are you going to do about taxes? >> we're

mr. brandenberg. eisenhower's master's jacket.t's rare to have original master's artifacts not at augusta. >> reporter: in addition to historical pieces, brandenburg also had exact replicas of the four major championship trophies built. >> you can put them side by side with the originals. i don't think you can tell the difference until lee brought it in i have never seen the masters trophy and playing golf a long time. something they don't show tv when they present to the winner. they were happy we commissioned to have these built. >> yeah. great stuff if you have the chance to go down there. >>> tiger woods has been a boon to the monterey peninsula economy this week. ticket sales are up over 30% for his first trip to pebble in 10 years. but his popularity has not extended as far as it once did. tiger is at the top of a poll of the most disliked athletes in america. eagles quarterback michael vick finished with a 60% dislike vote. he wins the tie because woods received fewer dislike a lot votes than vick. the rest of the top five:

mr. marshall, you talked about president eisenhower and the appointment to president eisen hower and the impact -- i think it's important for people to know what they do and how they impact your life. >> well, thank you. i find it very disturbing is that there is a near inability to get this confirmed. this is something which started several presidents ago. but it grew quite a bit because of the presidency of george w. bush. it reached a crescendo of an inability to get judges confirmed. it dovetails back into the lifetime tenure and the kind of impact that the judge can have over a long period of time. and judge johnson was given his medal of freedom. he was appointed to the bench by president eisenhower. he received the medal from president clinton in the 1990s. the longevity in the positions has its affect. i think on the issue of political correctness, juxtaposed with moral fiber and courage, probably going to get in trouble for saying this, i think we've desolved into the situation where there's a first box on the checklist which is i'm not so sure i characterize it as political cor

mr. gelman, your research indicates that the eisenhower-nixon relationship was an a-minus. why is the more common, public perception that it's c-minus, d-plus. how did that come about? was it on purpose or just lack of research? >> well, since i already need a visa to get to harvard and let me into the boston area, what i think happened is this is that the academics who -- and author schlessinger, jr., of a wonderful friend of mine, but the academics who are in the ivy leagues and great graduate collars all supported almost to a man, richard hot stet ler, harry kulling aer, i mean, these are seminal figures in the historical profession. they couldn't get a life. every time they worked and worked and worked there was never a prayer for adly stevenson to defeat dwight eisenhower. the first time in 52 stevenson lost by 3.5 million votes. the second time he only lost by 9.7 million votes. it when these they taught grat watt system fares. when a brat was and nixon was, and it became the stuff of the rightings, and their graduate stings and it's lattsted until now. there's a biog

today to hear him share his advice on the legal issues surrounding the eisenhower years and the men who shaped them. following mr. marshall, we have dr. charles sanders, an associate professor at my alma mater kansas state university. dr. sanders received his undergraduate degree from louisiana state university, a masters in education from north georgia college, another master's degree from the united states naval war college, and a ph.d. from kansas state, where he has been teaching since 2001. his research is centered on military history, and he has written a well-regarded book on military prisons in the civil war titled "while in the hands of the enemy." one reviewer for the "georgia historical quarterly" wrote, quote, no one can claim to be a serious student of civil war prisons until reading sanders' book, unquote. what i admire most about dr. sanders' ability is his skill as a teacher, which i have heard about from students and others at kansas state. one anonymous student posted a comment on the ratemyprofessor's website exclaiming best teacher i have ever had! seriously! dr. sanders changed my life and o

it is a tradition that that has been going on since the days of dwight eisenhower. you see mrs. obama with him. you he spoke about a experience he had praying with billy graham as so many presidents have as a moving moment in his life and presidency as the national prayer breakfast continues this morning in washington. bill: as we move forward now we'll take a look at this back and forth over something mitt romney has said on the trail. in a moment here, at 9:30 here on "america's newsroom" the presidential candidate saying a statement he made about the poor needs a bit of context. we have a fair and balanced debate. we'll put that in context for you. you decide. martha: we will. it is a staple of the american diet but could become the new public enemy number one. the doctor is in to talk about the new war, say it isn't so, on the sweet stuff. sugar under attack. we'll be right back. ♪ . ♪ [ smack! ] [ smack! smack! smack! ] [ male announcer ] your favorite foods fighting you? fight back fast with tums. calcium rich tums goes to work in seconds. nothing works faster. ♪ tum ta tu

let us heed president eisenhower's warning that unless we progress, we regress. senator hatch? >> thank you, mrchairman. it's a pleasure to work with you on this committee. and all of the other members of the committee. i want to thank you for scheduling this hearing today and secretary sebelius, thank you for taking the time to be with us. we have a lot to talk about. since it has been over 300 days since you testified before this committee which overseas much of your buget. i suspect it comes as no surprise that our list of questions is long. the question that american taxpayers are asking is how the president proposes to balance the budget and how he intends to get our nation's debt and entitlement spending under control. after all, he promised when elected he would cut the deficit in half by the end of the first term. yet with, a fourth straight trillion dollar deficit under the nation's belt, the expiration date on that election year promise has long passed. i think many americans would be willing to cut the president's some slack if he demonstrated any willingness to lead us out of our de

eisenhowers. but rather than start anew, mrs.istory, embraced the old, the very old. >> what's your basic plan? >> well, i really don't have one because i think this house will always grow and should. it just seemed to me such a shame when we came here to find hardly anything of the past in the house. >> absolutely. it was a ground breaking televised event. >> reporter: tom putnam is the director of the john f. kennedy library in boston. he says americans weren't interested in the house, but they were fascinated by the enigmatic first lady. >> the interesting thing is that this window used to be the door in the olden days. >> this is really the first time they heard directly from her and discovered what a substantive person she was. how much she knew and appreciated american history. how much she knew about art and culture. >> reporter: this past week, the j.f.k. library opened up mrs. kennedy's personal archives from the renovation and tour. >> we consider these our most valuable documents because they have mrs. kennedy's origin

mr. chairman, can i just say one thing? >> yes. >> america has always been about vision, particularly when it comes to transportation. i'm glad that when president eisenhower signed the interstate bill, there were a few visionaries here in congress, and in subsequent administrations because what they did, they built large chunks of concrete that didn't really connect for a while, but there was a vision. to connect america, 50 years later, we have a state of the art interstate system because of visionaries like eisenhower and like members of congress, that's the kind of vision that president obama, some governors and some people in america have for getting to the next generation in transportation. for connecting our kids and grandkids, so they can get out of cars, so they can get out of congestion, so they can ride in a comfortable train that goes decent speeds. if we don't do that, we're going to short circuit our ability to do what other generations did for us. >> we're doing seven-minute rounds today because we have fewer members here so we can do seven-minute rounds and still get done by known which we have promised to do with the secretary. >> thank yo

together we can keep this nation, as president eisenhower said, moving ahead every day. mr.nnell: mr. president. the presiding officer: the republican leader. mr. mcconnell: today, president obama released a budget that isn't really a budget at all. it's a campaign document. the president's goal isn't to solve our problems but to ignore them for another year, which will only ensure that they get even worse. once again, the president is shirking his responsibility to lead by using this budget to divide us. the game plan is perfectly clear. rather than reach out to congress to craft a consensus budget, the president will take this budget on the road as he did today and talk about the parts he thinks audiences will like. what he won't say is that it's bad for job creation, bad for seniors and that it will make the economy worse. the president's budget is bad for jobs because it includes the biggest tax hike in history and continues policies like the democrats' health care law that are making it harder for small businesses to hire. a little more than a year ago, the president ex

mr. president. too much res. on our success to let us be bogged down by bipartisanship. president dwight eisenhowerican, was the original champion of infrastructure investment half a century ago. he said "only strength can cooperate. weakness can only beg." end of quote. he was right, it takes strength to work together but working together also makes us strong. i look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides to make our economy strong. mr. president, we have five weeks during this work period. we have a lot to do. i hope we can work together to get it done. would the chair announce now the business of the day. the presiding officer: under the previous order, the leadership time is reserved. pursuant to the order of the senate of january 24, 1901, as amended by the order of february 14, twowf --, 201312, the senator from new hampshire, mrs. shaheen, will now read washington's farewell address. mrs. shaheen: washington's farewell address to the people of the united states. friends and fellow citizens: the period for a new election of a citizen to administer the executive government of the

mr. speaker, republicans were unphased by the many democrats including john f. kennedy and lyndon johnson who criticized president eisenhower's decision. meanwhile, it was the democrats in the senate who filibustered the first civil rights act of the 21st century and the republicans who managed to pass it nonetheless. the law established a civil rights division within the justice department and authorized the attorney general to request injunctions against anyone attempting to deny a person's right to vote. it was written at the behest of president eisenhower after a long drought of civil rights bills under presidents franklin delano roosevelt and president harry truman. it was a senate minority leader every rst -- everett dirksen, who helped right -- write the first civil rights act of 1964, widely regarded as the most influential of them all. in recent years, it's been the republican party that has fought to prevent african-americans from being trapped in a permanent underclass through dependence on government handouts. in the 1990's, they have republican-controlled 104th congress that passed the personal responsibility and
