mr. lincoln had more douglas had he has to give the impression to lay out the vision of america that is truebundance by inspiring of entrepreneurs as well as middle income people who aspire to the next rung on the latter as a man who achieved it himself and that is unmistakable. >> except both our beneficiaries of this economic system what knowledge is in the other does not. good to have you with us. the race is tightening others are being stubborn. the "a team" coming towards the studio. we will see you shortly. stay with us. lou: joining us now we have the "a team" angela mcglowan hank and fox news could trigger a never advises and eight candidate about anything. [laughter] michael goodwin. 2007 obama reveals himself. >> a wonderful performance. liberals will go to my community and change their cadence and talk division politics. that the bush administration does not care about black people. is that the school of condi west? >> what do i say after that? republicans are addicted to race like crack. >> he was released. >> there was a book written named david anderson he is to be well-respect

mrs. lincoln was equally effective in spotting the talents and the intellect of lincoln. and she urged him to pursue those tasks. so he had to overcome the absence of only two years of formal education, no high school, no junior high, no high school, no college, no law school. nothing but two years of elementary training. but he probably became one of the best-read presidents. he couldn't read the class exs as jefferson did. jefferson was fluent in six languages, he could both read and speak. but he read everything he could find that was in english. and became a very well read, knowledgeable president. the same on his writing. he would work on letters that he wrote to individual people. like some of his work on an essay -- like some would work on an essay they were going to get a grade on he schooled himself to become a great writer, i think easily the best one that served in the white house. jefferson was very good but his greatest writing, the declaration of independence, came before he was president. and nothing quite compares to the gettysburg address of --, of the pe

mrs. lincoln and daniel day lewis is lincoln. it is going to be quite something. >> all right. that's the best one out of 15,000. get that one. >> now guest of honor. you hear about white house dinners. this is a book about what happened, and it's true, when thomas roosevelt, theodore roosevelt had booker t. washington, the first african-american to have dinner at the white house. and there was a big scandal about it. it was quite something because he had -- he invited booker t. washington to the white house for dinner. >> so this is all the ins and outs? >> and how he did it and why he did it. then our favorite, dolly madison. you know her from the ice cream. >> yep. >> all know that she was the one that saved george washington's portrait from the war of 1812. this is all about her and how she worked things. she was quite a politician on her own. so dolly madison. then if you really are getting a little tired of all the real life things, get the dirt with fiction. so there are two books by political insiders that are just great. the gq candidate. you get a lot of inside scoop

mr. lincoln wants to know use know buy a gallon of gas or buy lunch? rise in gas prices nationally it affect consumer spending by $1.4 billion according to buckingham research. and here in came, which represents about 12% of the population, we have seen 12% hike in gas prices in just a week. they are not seeing an impact at restaurants yet but when it comes it will hit the lower-cost segment first where customers are more price conscious. watch for changes in ihop owned by dine equity. bob evans and denny's. now, tech nomic out with numbers for lower and upper middle consumers, lower and upper, price is now the most important factor in choosing fast food, or what they call limited service restaurants for a dine-in occasion. i call it takeout. however, 71% of middle-income consumers use restaurants for socializing and tech nomics says savvy operate letters create a fun gathering place for those upper/middle income spender. as retail gas prices in california hit, yet a new record today, yes, still going up, buckingham says restaurant prices are now risin

mrs. lincoln? what do you think of the earnings? we have this positive spin from larry page in all of this. do you see it that way at this point? >> no, i don't. i think that this is a disappointment. we were talking earlier about the core. one of the things investors want to understand is how mobile monotieization works. the street was expecting it to be down 11%. doesn't sound like a huge difference. what it is, that number needs to be improving to get investors to feel more comfortable about their mobile business. so i would never bet against google over a one to ten-year time frame, but i think just in terms of this stock near-term, the next quarter, i think those two issues, the core and what's happening on mobile, are going to cause investors to revisit their near-term thinking on google. >> if i can very quickly add with respect to facebook since we brought it up, that's been one of the problems for facebook. i don't think this particular issue today is at all akin to what's beginning on with facebook, but with respect to mob

mr. lincoln, you can go on your website and tell us what you think about slavery, right?> but you've seen montage after montage of, for example, mitt romney's position on abortion. and when you see the montage, it's so clear that he has many positions. and you can do a timeline along with it and, and make the relationship between his bid for higher office to it. why can't a debate include the playing of such a clip and then say, "mr. romney, please respond to that," as opposed to the formality even of a conventional press cference in which e meone is free to duck. you can duck a question. it's much harder to duck evidence and a video.me >> but the parties and the candidates will not agree to that, unless you have it on their terms. >> which is why i am more dispirited, i think, than kathleen is because what you do get, even from this limited, signed on kabuki does still have some value, despite its limitations. i completely agree. >> but on abortion, here's what i think we can reasonably say reading history. what candidates say they will do in the general election of a pr

mr. lincoln a alludes to write out of the gate in the gettysburg address. that's 1863 kutz 1776 when you do the math. many quotes from the declaration and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal that is the language from which the declaration you have thoughts about the declaration and its unfair along side the gettysburg address and the emancipation and the constitution as self to tell us a little bit about how you think about the declaration and it's part of the american story. >> in the beginning we had these rights endowed with certain unalienable rights and we give up some of those rights to be governed by consent. that's critical. for me when i started though it wasn't so much about the government. it's what was the best argument against slavery. it was as simple as that. when you grow up under segregation, you take the founding documents and you use it as to make to others who think that segregation is right. we are inherently equals. it is ingrained in us the declaration and our faith in god we were created equal and they don't h

lincoln. and his bodyguards grabbed him and they were like oh, sorry mr. booth, we didn't know it was you. he was kind of a celebrity and that's why he wanted to kill lincoln in his own house in ford theater, because that's where he performed. >> bad review, hate his politics? >> hated all the stuff with the spring of the slaves, and, you know. >> i heard this is fantastic. >> i can't put it down. >> it's actually being made into a movie, i think, with wrigley scott. >> really? they should write all history books like that, because you can't put it down. and who would have thought? they could do it with every president, i bet, something juicy. >> i was out in l.a. and i went to that -- remember that darling irish actress in "touched by an angel"? roma downey. i had done that show a couple of times. i loved her, we became friends. hadn't seen her much. but i went to her beautiful home in malibu. she's married now to mark burnett, who's a brilliant, brilliant producer, "survivor," "apprentice." so many other things. they are doing a 14-part series called "the bible" for the history channel st

[inaudible] to prevent the onset of the civil war. is that correct? >> beauty and did some things. he didn't do all, someone might want them to do he did a good many things. for example, major anderson and late december 1860 transferred his force on sullivan's island, a place of south carolinians could have easily taken no terribly to fort sumter. the carolinians were upset. the powerful democrats in congress were upset, southern democrats in congress were upset because buchanan promised he would take no action at charleston harbor and they saw anderson's move to fort sumter as action. they pressed buchanan to force anderson withdraw. divorce anderson to withdraw. but buchanan wouldn't do that. his decision to maintain anderson at fort sumter, and a decision he held to remain of his presidency, gave lincoln cars and lincoln would have had. on top of that, you

mr. gregg. that finishes the lincoln-douglass segment so we will begin by asking questions.pence: can i request time for rebuttal time? >> moderator: if you want to take time during the next section of questions you will be old to do that. pence: i believe i will do that. >> good evening gentleman. as you said i'm a full-time student pursuing a business degree and a single mother of three, divorced and work full-time and i get little to no child support. i'm the sole provider for myself and my children. once i reported the income to mike -- we have a system that seems to punish those who are trying to help improve themselves and the lives of their families. i do not believe in life on welfare but i too believe in the chance. do you have any ideas for state programs to computer the computer training managing home finances or renovating buildings that would help the transition to punish independence from the state more practical? >> moderator: mr. boneham? boneham: amy thank you and i have to say that i feel your pain. i see every day with the participants in my program starti

lincoln to franklin roosevelt. all presidents have presided over screwups. just tell the folks the truth, mr. president. tell us what you know. and who you are holding responsible for this mess. and that's the memo. before we get to reaction. i want to give you the latest polling. because of 10 days until the vote the polls are important. rasmussen daily tracking has mitt romney at 50%. president obama at 47%. abc news the same. 50% for romney. the governor leads 51% to 46%. in virginia another must win for romney he leads 47% 45% according to ounce too poll released yesterday. in colorado nbc poll has the race tied at 48%. in nevada, nbc has obama up by 3, 50% to 47%. in wisconsin, rasmussen now has that race tied at 49%. very good news for governor romney who has been running behind in the badger state. in new hampshire rasmussen has romney up by 2%. 50% to 48%. finally $2 billion will be spent on the presidential race this year. my question, are we getting our money's worth? next on the run down, herald will react to the shocking new libyan situation. that report moments away. >> bill: bring in fox n

mr. gregg or that finishes the lincoln douglas segment and so we'll begin with asking questions again from our -- if you want to take some time during the next set of questions, you're welcome to do that, but we're going to continue forward. our next question is turned aimee leonard, a student, pictures and single mother from mishawaka. amy. >> at the start, am a full-time student pursuing a business degree. i'm a single mother of three, divorced. i also work full-time as a waitress. i get it go to no child support. and the sole provider for myself and my children. let's are part of my income to the state when i got my job, it all ended. with a system that seems to punish those who are trying to help improve themselves and the lives of their families and were those who do not. i want to believe in health care, but i do believe in a chance. you've any ideas such as computer training, or even resume building that would help make the transition from the state more practical? >> moderator: thank you, ms. leonard. boneham: amy, thank you. i see every day with her to submit to my program, starti

imagine him waking up in the lincoln bedroom, checking his twitter feed, and running with whatever he finds there. hey, i read somewhere that russia did a thing. mr. romney is not wising up. he made the same mistake when he tried to say that president obama had not said the word terror when he talked about the benghazi attack in the rose garden a day after the attack. the president had, in fact, used that word. but if you read the conservative blogosphere, and the conservative blogosphere only, that never happened. and that apparently was enough of a fact check for mitt romney. that's what he read, so that's what he believes, that's what he tried to use, and what turned out to be a humiliating gotcha attempt that failed before the largest possible audience. right? between 50-something million people watching him fail in a presidential debate. >> i'm the president. and i'm always responsible. and that's why nobody is more interested in finding out exactly what happened than i do. the day after the attack, governor, i stood in the rose garden and i told the american people and the world that we are going to find out exactly what happened. that this

mr. donnelly. we're done with the lincoln-douglass portion of the debate. back to questions from voters. this is from james, a retiree from roachdale. it's about term limits. would you prepare a bill to limit terms for both houses of congress? for example, two terms for senate, six terms for the house, a total of 12 years for both houses? mr. mourdock, one minute. mourdock: i would. in fact, i signed on to that plan. i believe in term limits, and i think they are ad goo thing, turning over ideas. you know, there's a myth, i think, in washington and certainly by the people who oppose term limits, that we need all the seniority to have good ideas. one of the best ideas come along in a long, long time is a balanced budget amendment presented by senator mike lee. that bill, unlike the balanced budgets amendment that mr. donnelly talks about forcing congress to raise taxes, would actually put a cam on spending. mr. donnelly -- sorry, mr. lee, senator lee, had just been there for six weeks when he authored that idea. not only do i believe in would i support a balanced constitutional amendment

mr. romney. i understand where president obama is. he's not letting anyone drag us into any more wars or to cite other conflicts, but he is willing to help, lincoln libya in other places. and he turned it over and we lost four americans in libya. my question mr. romney is, is he talking about actually going back in iraq, going into syria, getting ready to go to war with iran? in the sense of calm is he ready to the news on the ground? is that what he wants to do different than the president? and if not, what is he wanted to do besides rattled the saber? i'll take your comments off the air. >> guest: i think it's a fantastic question because romney's camp would like certain people in the neoconservative elements of the republican party to believe that in fact coming yes, he's ready to pull the trigger and bring into strike on iran. the problem is if you look what he said any talk to senior advisers, whether they're directly in the campaign or analysts are former officials on the periphery. they won't tell you exactly what he wants to do, which leads us to the conclusion that largely rhetoric and largely narrative, where he just wants to stay were

mr. obama's is to make it stronger and more effective. host: back to twitter -- oversight of gop sen does this note, what president obama and lincoln believed -- government should do for people what they cannot do better themselves and no more. trends in american values over the years -- 87 to 2012. they learned with this poll, americans have long been skeptical as a whole. roughly 81% say elected officials in washington lose touch with the people pretty quickly pared 62% -- 62% to say most elected officials do not care. concern next up is phyllis from iowa. good morning. republican. caller: good morning karen i wish that people would read into the facts and not with the president is telling us. he is a very floury speaker purity influences people easily. -- he is a floury speaker. he influences people easily. they said, they are not spending the money to open up any other centers. in order for them to vote. and this is all over the world. some of them -- they did not have any of be balance in their. and another thing, he does not want to spend the money for something like that,. but he wants to give a $450 million to the muslim brotherhood
