but whose economy is she going to run on the obama economy, her husband's economy, or an economy thato create? >> i think a lot of it will be on an economy she hopes to create. but it hinges on what we were talking about earlier. can the obama administration do enough next year to improve the standards of living for those americans who feel left out of the recovery? the poll i mentioned earlier, showed 18% of americans feel they're better off today than a year ago. 29% feel like they're worse off. so that's a significant problem for whoever the democratic nominee for president is in 2016, because it really dictates whether the obama economy will be a plus or political liability. >> how do republicans run against clinton if she's running against the obama economy? >> they're going to call her out, see that she's trying to have it both ways and create a hybrid economy. she feels elizabeth warren nipping at her heels a bit. she's feeling a little bit of rand paul. it's because of sentiments out there where people see the dow going up but still a lot of unemployment, low wages, growing in

under the obama economy, the average american, medium income and below is $3,000 a year worse off than the president came to office. and ironically, the people who have done the best during the obama years have been the 1%. the people at the top. we want to start addressing the economy and jobs and you do things like -- you address that by doing things like approving the keystone pipeline. putting people to work. embracing the energy revolution that's going on in our country. we are now the number one natural gas producer in the world. the united states. not somewhere else. embrace the energy revolution. it's good for the country. create jobs and opportunity to benefit people at the middle and lower income levels, not just the guys at the top. >> senate majority leader harry reid to be soon leaving his job and becoming minority leader. is that tough? >> well, it's an adjustment. it's going to be an adjustment for me. it's like if you are a football fan like the difference between the offensive and defensive coordinator. you got a better chance to score on offense and majority leader is

whoever is making the case that the obama economy is a disaster, that we have got to restore america'sleadership in the world. my advice, by my measure, there are a whole bunch of republican senators who are thinking about running in 2016. my advice to every one of them is stand up and lead. i would be thrilled if a year from now, we see a half dozen senators and governors arm in arm, leading together and making the case that the obama agenda isn't working and there is a better path getting back to the free market principles and constitutional liberties that this country was built on. >> it is clear, democrats hate you, and an increasing number of republicans hate the way you operate in the senate, to say the least. given that reality, where do you see the path to the presidency? >> let me be very clear, washington doesn't like change. so i wouldn't necessarily disagree with you when you speak about people in washington, listen, i have said a lot of times, the biggest divide we have got, in this country politically, is not between democrats and republicans, it is between career politic

blacks are doing terrible under the obama economy, and he referenced the stock market.ten, a lot of black people aren't in it, in fact, if you talk about bifurcation, this is one of the areas where you see a real, massive change. main street, for the most part, if they dump stocks out of frustration or a need for cash, they didn't get back in, that, so you've got a whole bunch of people completely missed this rally, and now they're in an awkward position. do they chase it or stay out? >> i think out of frustration. president obama, the numbers don't lie, and president obama's words do not back up what -- charles: they don't? >> i know that's a surprise to all of you. [laughter] the black median income are actually now one-thirteenth of what they were in 2010 which is down from one-ninth what they were of their white equivalents. one of the main reasons is there's not the job opportunities out there for them, especially considering president obama himself is about to sign six million new workers, taking away some of those jobs and opportunities -- >> if you look at the n

this obama economy isn't that but the touted it today. >> lot of touting, saying the american resurgenceal, citing jobs and health care and gas prices. we're not talking about income. americans have not had a raise in nine years, and that means prices at the grocery stores go up and up. >> thanks a lot. >> you're most welcome. >> have a great holiday. >> merry christmas. >> thank you. merry christmas to you. coming up, christmas classic. we'll be right back. you're driving along, having a perfectly nice day, when out of nowhere a pick-up truck slams into your brand new car. one second it wasn't there and the next second... boom! you've had your first accident. now you have to make your first claim. so you talk to your insurance company and... boom! you're blindsided for a second time. they won't give you enough money to replace your brand new car. don't those people know you're already shaken up? liberty mutual's new car replacement will pay for the entire value of your car plus depreciation. call and for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to you

if the economy is not in the tank, the republican party will have to come up with a positive agenda that is more than slamming obama. whether they do it by circumstances, it is going to have to come up with something better. >> the problem is having a good economy is the only way the democrats are going to will the white house for three consecutive terms. if the economy is in the toilet lord clinton will have no chance. republicans need real policies. in the context of a good economy, they are going to have to make that move. you cannot be anti-barack obama. the question is, what clubs may have in their back. -- bag. i do not know what their policies would be, including this one. >> part of the reason you see excitement around candidacies like a jet bush is here is someone with a mind for policy not just demonizing obamacare. >> i will tell you who growth is bad for, the populous wings of each parties. where there are areas where you are dealing with not abundance optimism, but pessimism and fear , populists do not tend to be the one in the drivers seat. >> we are not going to get a president ted cruz?

economy. another fact. six years ago, president obama inherited the worst recession in a generation. and today after all the attacks and insults, even republicans had to give the president credit. right? after hammering him for years about the economy and rushing out a tax statement any time the economic news wasn't good, today was the first time for republicans to join together in joy at this new strong economy. so -- no, i can't hear you now. speaker boehner was completely quiet today. not even a statement. senator mcconnell also joined the witness protection program. the republican national committee, missing. as was the republican governor's association. somehow they just couldn't think of anything to say. make no mistake, there's still work to be done on this economy to make it reach the many americans to whom improvement still is too faint. >> over the past four years, we've put more people back to work than all other advanced economies combined. we've now come to a point where we have the chance to reverse an even deeper problem. the decade's long erosion of middle-class jobs a

i know now it's called the obama economy. i heard that one. that's a new phrase. it's really collectively all our economy because we participated in trying to save it. they objected to it for the last six years. so by their objection they get to be part of not having the result that maybe they wanted but the result is the economy is much better. we need more work to make sure it gets to the hands of the individuals out there. i know that's something of a priority to you madam president. but, again, if i continue to hear it, i will continue to come down here because people can't get away with just saying it over and over again and believe that's the facts because the facts are very clear as i just stated where the stock market has gone, where the unemployment has dropped housing is up, housing starts are up. the two largest companies the automobile companies all three of them now over half a million new jobs. growth 55 consecutive months of growth. that's all good news. it's something we should be proud of, you should be proud of the senate should be proud of. but t

president obama and the economy right now have illustrated a failure in the actual institutions. that's what people are responding to. so when you are obama and still running on the fact that you at the helm of this institution is going to change your life as head of the government, i don't think it works. that's what people. >> not pivoting as lincoln did. lincoln made the adjustments he had to make when they almost lost the war at gettysburg. i have got to run. juan, thanks for reading the book even though it was free. mary katharine thank you very much. >> coming up the killing lincoln when i will wind tour wait until you see me with imus. i wrote this book so even bernie could read it? >> bernie is smarter than i am. >> for dropouts. it's exciting. >> watters the folks about president lincoln. >> emancipation proclamation. >> say that five times fast. >> emancipation proclamation. >> i was just kidididididid introducing the new philips norelco shaver series 9000 with contour detect technology that flexes in 8 directions for the perfect shave at any angle. go to philips.com/new

people have been hurt the most under the obama economy have the most vulnerable, young people, hispanics, african-americans, and single moms. i'm sorry to say in this senate there are very, very few advocates for the people who are really hurting. let me give one example. one of the elements of this bill is the so-called expatriate health insurance plan fix. this exempts from obamacare. what is this about? american health insurance companies that sell insurance policies to expatriates, americans living abroad, are subject to all of the oppressive mandates of obamacare. all of the mandated coverage, mandating things like maternity care for women who are no longer in childbearing years, all sorts of mandates that drive up the costs and they're also subject to the crushing and punitive taxes. what's happened? the insurance companies have come to congress and said hey, it's not fair, it is hurting our business, it's hurting jobs. obamacare is. and you know what's amazing, you get enough lobbyists together, and suddenly you get bipartisan agreement. this provision had republicans and democrat

president joe biden because i think he is part of the obama administration, and the obama administration has broadened our economy from shambles since 2008 -- president obama and his being a lawyer background, he has shown everyone else how to be president in this day and age. it is just all about him, and not everybody wants to be president. like the guy from -- rubio and ted cruz, they all wanted to be president, because they are on the same load, just like president obama, so that shows you that the president would be a good president, but i think joe biden would be the best president for the democratic party. right, this is david in willow spring, north carolina. who is your choice? caller: i would love to see a hillary/bernie sanders ticket. hillary hands-down would probably be the democratic nominee. sanders and warren are a little bit too far to the left to appeal to moderate democrats, but i do think with a hillary and bernie sanders tickets that that would be a landslide victory for the democrats. thank you for all that c-span does. thank you very much. host: thank you for your call. from the huffington

economy. president obama promised us that we would get everything, and instead all we got was free birth control. >> john, starting your own business. right? >> i don't think i could start it today. honestly. given the change in the last 15, 20 years. public education worse. the cost, a lot more debt than ever before. fewer opportunities out there not only because of the economy as michelle talked about but also because of things like the minimum wage, prevented people from getting the skills. more than anything, just the spirit of today's young people. they've been told don't be an individualist, don't be yourself. don't go to wall street. go to africa and build latrines. it's america's spirit, the spirit of individualism among young people that is unfortunately being harped. >> six years of obama -- liberal rules, regulations, policies, et cete cetera. one in five millennials not just not doing well, they're living in poverty. >> it isn't something that just happened in the last six years. look at data, we had it also in 1990. a lot of it has to do with unfettered rampant, running wild on wall

economy. and as mr. obama, the russian people would expect to apologize.you why if you would allow me. >> please do. but if you could condense it, that would be great. why is president obama responsible for the russian economy. >> when the civil war began russia in the united states, russia was the only superpower which supported the north against the slave-holding south. and in 1867, it was mark twain who handed the letter from the american people to alexander 2 and the letter said, america owes so much to russia and is indebted to him for so many ways that to forfeit that friendship would be an unjust act and would be a treason. so i believe in the current what weks peerns in the media as well, president obama and a certain part of the politic are committing treason to that spirit of friendship. >> i think you lost me with the civil war. >> i think i get the point that you're making. but what i'm wondering about, if this dmik turmoil continues for much longer in russia, and it looks like it will do, you don't believe it will be the president that gets bl

and a half years of the start of the reagan recovery versus the first 5.5 years of the obama recovery, the economy grew at just over 4% in the first 5.5 years under reagan and it grew just about 2% under obama. that may not seem like a big difference. it is enormous because of the compounding effect of this. the growth deficit and this has to be a huge mantra of progrowth republicans as we are now facing an economic growth deficit. that deficit is now $2 trillion. what that number means is that the economy, if it had grown as fast in obama's first 5.5 years of recovery as it did under ronald reagan, we would have $2 trillion more gdp. imagine how much better off the american people would be today if we had $2 trillion more output? if you took that amount and prorated it to every family america, that's $15,000 more income. this came through loud and clear during the midterm elections, the american people are angry. i would say they are filled with anxiety as well that they are not seeing the kind of middle-class increases not just in jobs but incomes. here is another statistic -- the average family

problem with jobs in the african-american community, and president obama, this is not trashing obama on the economy, but the reality is the -- unemployment among blacks has not gotten any better. >> focus on jobs for young african-american men. hey, apply, they're hiring. >> you don't want to fight this current situation with what was a righteous sfrugal. the civil rights movement was a righteous struggle for righteous people. as a matter of fact when i hear it, the people who were in the civil rights movement, these were people that went down and got beat up, went across bridges when al sharpton was barely a gleam in his father's eye. there was a subtle under the surface sense among some people in the white house community, not the police, but in the white community that makes it uncomfortable to be black. you talk about some of the symptoms of it. if you're a republican, you're in a hell of a spot. we're going to have to have that conversation at some point and it's going to get to the heart of families. >> there is a lie going on ntha we don't have this conversation, if you took the topic of rac
