bush and president as mrs. obama, president and mrs. rter, all the representatives here of the other previous presidents, the ford, nixon, johnson families. i told president obama that this was the latest grandest example of the eternal struggle of former presidents to rewrite history, and i want to take my hat off to president bush. this is a beautiful library. the exhibits are great. the work of the bush institute is inspiring, and i congratulate him on the platinum leads rating for his library. i think this is the second building in the federal system that has it, and i want to say, mr. president, once again, you got the better of me, twice in the last few weeks. my library has a platinum leads rating but it was open for a few years before we could afford to achieve it, and you've beat me to be a grandfather, and i congratulate you and laura for it. you know, starting with my work with president george h.w. bush on the tsunami and the aftermath of katrina, people began to joke that i was getting so close to the bush family i had becom

mr. obama's joke. >> some folks don't think i spent spend enough time with congress. why don't you get a drink with mitch mcconnell, they ask. really? why don't you get a drink with mitch mcconnell? >> the joke went over well as you heard so naturally mcconnell wanted to get in on the act tweeting this photo of himself sitting in a bar with a beer next toon empty chair. he's ready and waiting with a glass of red wine for anyone that chooses to join him. the tweet addressed to the president and also to, get this, clint eastwood who made that speech at the republican convention with the empty chair. >> we'll see if there is -- . >> yes. any takers there? >> we've seen satellite pictures of hurricanes now, we can see a powerful storm. >> nasa's casini space craft captured these images of a massive storm, scientists say it's about 1250 miles wide. >> the storm traveling about 330 miles per hour and appears this storm has been there for years. >> beautiful, but scary. >> yes. >> is our weather is changing and warming up. >> clear skies here in the bay area now. strong wind

mr. bush. the same rating president obama now has and a roughly 40% increase over the approval mr. bush had when he left office. part of this is doubtless the mellowing of public sentiment out of the public eye. it may get the dignified silence he has obtained as his successor has criticized and blamed him for the nation's problems. people are perhaps beginning to appreciate that president bush for all his texas swagger is a gentleman who unlike his successor ever used the bully pulpit. the pomt taken after the boston bombing shows renewed awareness that despite the con throw verse jis over the wars in afghanistan and iraq, mr. bush kept the homeland safe after 9/11. he noted in his farewell address that most americans moved on to 9/11 to live as it was before. i never did. indeed, he didn't. the war on terror as he called it was the central mission of his presidency. the public may now be increasingly grateful that it was. >> all right. as always, thank you. what do you think of the bush legacy? let me know on twitter. follow me @bretbaier. >>> what do you think about the slowdown

mr. obamaes to blame sequester for the problems, but there's $160 billion increase, more than 1 mcof gdp. that's a big impact. gerri: peter, do you think that businesses are still in that mote where they are reluctant to spend? we talked about that at the end of the yearings but i don't see a lot of comfort in what's going op, i don't see a lot of confidence from business leaders. what do you think? >> well, they are frustrated. certainly, the data indicates they don't have confidence, and business spending was not robust, and it was subdued, you know, on new capital equipment, and they complained to deaf ears about the more onerous legislations by the administration. around town, there's lawyers working in the government all their lives saying they are tired to hear business mep wine. that comes with aving a nice steady government paycheck. gear gerri willis you'reot kidding. isn't that part of the problem, fundamentally? congress in particular, and the white house specifically have such a los
