and this week i'm joined by daniel klaidman, "newsweek" correspondent, author of the new book "to kill or capture: the war on terror and the soul of the obama presidency." dan, it's great to have you. this is such an important book because of the news it breaks, number one, but also it's so revealing about the kind of wartime president barack obama wanted to be and felt he had to be. explain that. >> well, absolutely. and it's sort of a side of barack obama that we don't see very much. these national security issues are generally shrouded in secrecy. so it's really the first time that people get kind of a textured, you know, three-dimensional view of obama. and he's a complex character. you know, he does have this side to him that is very professorial and thoughtful that people generally know about. at the same time he can be extremely decisive and kind of almost brutally clinical about going after what he perceives to be enemies of the united states. >> and this is not -- if president bush took the country to war on a large scale in afghanistan and then iraq, president obama was deter

this is "newsweek's" resident religion scholar. joy behar, she's a friend but she's misguided, suggested on "the view" one morning that parents who teach their kids the creation story should be charged with child abuse. when it comes to politics, forget it, gloves are off, during the 2008 campaign the liberal media wanted us to believe that mike huckabee was some conspiracist putting subliminal message into his ads, ads that merely wished americans a merry christmas. the liberal media dispatched dozens of reporters, and maureen dowd to alaska to investigate sarah palin's creepy pentecostalism and they had tongues with witch doctors praying away homosexuality, banning library books and hiding condoms. meanwhile anderson cooper told us barack obama's black liberation theology under reverend wright had nothing to do with actual issues. "the new york times" told us obama's faith was none of voters' business. um-hum. you know, it wasn't that long ago that "the new york times" was urging the country to pray for the astronauts of the apol

>> soon "newsweek" says a judge would grant bobby kennedy full but temporary custody of the four children as mary reportedly turned to alcohol, bobby's life seemed to be going well, at least publicly seen off with actress cheryl hines. >> it was pure horror in the house, he was afraid she would be beaten up. he needed a little bit of peace. he found it with cheryl, who was very, very good to him. >> reporter: according to the article, bo beeny believed mary had bpd, borderline personality disorder. mary herself denounced the accusations at the time, and now her family calls it false and an insult to those who do struggle with this serious mental illness, telling nbc news that bobby's affidavit is nothing more than a brutal psychological weapon in the divorce case, full of vindictive lives. this latest piling on is proof perfect of the unbelievable emotional and psychological abuse that mary endured during the last year of her life and now in death. >> mary richards kennedy didn't know who she was. that was the tragedy of her life. >>> and nbc news did reach out to the kennedy family, but

i was a tell x operator for "newsweek." i worked in the suite in the fountain blue hotel. it was starry eyed. it was wonderful to watch the politicians. they were to me, stars and clebs, in a way they still are. in 1968, 13 percent of the delegates were women. it gives you an idea of how much reform occurred in the four years. george mcgovern, i lived in a little vacuum myself. i thought everybody i knew supported george mcgovern and i was rather shocked when he didn't win. he got the nomination based on the rules, he had devised and written a little bit like dick chaney getting the president issue nod after leading the search committee. he lost in the rather major way. he only carried massachusetts and the district of columbia. so what came out of that? 1976 jimmy carter saw what george mcgovern did. he saw the opening in iowa. he spent the better part of the year, probably, sleeping on couches and peoples' bedrooms and getting known by the people of iowa. joy i did powell's memorial service a couple of years ago president caterer told the story of how difficult it was to

i was a telex operator for "newsweek." i worked in our suite in the fountain blue hotel, and i was really starry eyed. it was wonderful to watch the politicians, and politicians to me were stars and celebs. in a way they still are. in 1968, 13% of the delegates were women, so that gives you an idea of how much reform occurred in that four years. so, george mcgovern, i live in a little vacuum myself. i thought everybody i knew supported george mcgovern, and i was rather shocked when he didn't win. but he got the nomination based on the rules he had devised and written, much like dick cheney getting the vice presidential nod after going out in leading the search committee. but george mcgovern lost in a rather way. he only carried massachusetts and the district of columbia. so, what came out of that? 1976, jimmy carter, he saw what george mcgovern did. he noticed there was that opening in iowa. so jimmy carter spent probably the better part of a year sleeping on couches in people's bedrooms and getting known by the people of

he had been at newsweek since 1953 as a european concern -- correspondent. toni bradlee -- in 1961 he became the bureau chief of newsweek magazine and after phil graham died she heard bradley might be leaving or thinking of leaving and wanted to keep him so she had about the lunch and he said he would give his left one to be the managing editor of the post in newspaper parlance and came to the paper and what he said about when he came to the papers the first thing he wanted to do was removed the agenda from the post's reporting and he wrote a memo to r reporter. i have to read it editorially because it is better than mine. he wrote a memo to a foreign correspondent and played out what he was trying to do. we are not trying to make this paper flattering. they're trying to make it fair. what you interpret as an effort to remove flavor is an effort to remove the tipped hand, the editorial phrases that make your position clear and cloud the news. if we flatten your vivid writing to, this much the washington post loses. we want flair, audacity and flashing qualit

michael tomaski is the special correspondent for newsweek daily beast.hael, thank you for entering the war room. >> thank you for having me. >> you bet. so i know this is a conversation that's happening in the president's war room in terms of what is the economic message that he should push tomorrow. so what advice do you have for him? >> well, i wrote a piece, governor, that tried to break this log jam that's going on capitol hill. the bush tax cuts are expiring at the end of the year and if congress doesn't act by the end of the year, then the rates will go -- become higher for all taxpayers. the republicans, of course want to keep the rates low for everyone. the president wants to keep them low for everyone except households that make more than $250,000 a year. i suggest the president should say to the congress look. i will give on that point. okay? i will accept your position on the tax rates for the wealthiest americans if you will give a little bit on the question of public investment. and i say that there is $45,000,000,000 that he should ask for

>> stephen: all right, sir, you're a special correspondent for "newsweek" and the daily beast and you a new book called "kill or capture: the war on terror and the soul of the obama presidency." how could this be the soul? him killing or capturing terrorists? how could that be the soul of the obama presidency because you had this guy when he was running he's this loosey goosy touchy feely artsy fartsy want to get to know you let's close guantanamo and sing couple buy ya candidate and now he's a stone cold killer. how is that possible? >> that's what i found in reporting this book. you had the law professor, the liberal idealist and he sort of morphed into this kind of caped crusader who was kind of the commander of the american killing machine. so how did that happen? that's what the book is about. >> stephen: are you saying that he'sal el? (laughter) >> well, not literally. but he's a complicated guy and i think that obama from the very beginning i think understood that if he was going to fight this war in a way that didn't involve occupying countries and sending hundreds of thousand

except that "newsweek" article was an excerpt from the book "throw them all out." he served as an adviser to sarah palin's pack. he edited a website and written a slew of books portraying liberals as pond scum. i actually checked what he said about the pond scum thing. he is sort of right. one of this guy's books is how conservative works harder and hug their children more than liberals do. not kidding. not making that up. this guy wrote a whole book on profiles in liberal hypocrisy. he also wrote "the bushes." but here's the important thing. it's not just that this guy is kind of sketch as the source for this empirical claim by a presidential campaign. remember, what mitt romney says, what mr. romy himself says is that the inspector general looked into solyndra and concluded that the obama administration steered taxpayer money to its friends and family. they cite this guy as the source of that claim. but it is a chuckleable claim. it turns out that inspector general never testified that stimulus contracts were steered to friends and family. he said his office was

and in 1961 he became the bureau chief for "newsweek" magazine. after phil graham, kay graham's husband died. she heard that bradley might be leaving or thinking of leaving. she want to keep them so she had a much longed and family said he would give his last went to the managing editor and then came to the paper. what is always sad when he came to the paper and the first thing he wanted to do was remove the agendas from the post reporting and he wrote a memo to the reporter. he wrote a mobile to a foreign correspondent and laid out exactly what he is trying to do in the newspaper. we're not trying to make this paper flatter appeared which are to make it flare. from the flavor and individuality and dilution is in fact an effort to remove the veil stands. they make their position clear when they caught the news. a colorless smash the response. we want flair, audacity and a flashing quality. you've got those qualities. their value, for which i care about something entirely different. toth was the effort we make to become a newspaper by flavor come i
