single note, certainly without a teleprompter, and you know, she said she has been subject to endless petty ethics complaints. she got cleared on all of them, and yet it is eating up the state of alaska's time and money, millions of dollars to the taxpayers of alaska. she can't get anything done. it has cost her personally half a million dollars, so as she said, she's passing the ball to a fantastic lieutenant governor, every as good as she s i'm sure the citizens an taxpayers definitely of alaska are happy about. this now she can write her book, give speeches and maybe she will run in 2012. maybe she will run in, you know, 20 years from now. eric: let's talk a little bit about president obama's handshake, the ones that come to mind were with chavez. what about muammar qaddafi? >> i liked that one. muammar qaddafi must have proposed reducing our global footprint by shooting down more commercial airplanes. i mean, this is just a continuation of obama's and the classic left wing policy of reaching out to our enemies and dissing our friends. how about shaking the hand of the new honduras presi

we're beginning to break free from the partisanship and the petty bickering that have stood in the wayo long. we're beginning to move past the stale debates about either more money or more reform, because the fact is, we need both. we're beginning to offer every single american the best education the world has to offer, from the cradle to the classroom, from college to careers. in recent months, i've spoken about the different parts of this strategy. i've spoken about what we're doing to prepare community college students to find a job when they graduate, to make college and advanced training more affordable, and to raise the bar in early learning programs. today i want to talk about what we can do to raise the quality of education from kindergarten through senior year. because improving education is central to rebuilding our economy, we set aside over $4 billion in the recovery act to promote improvements in schools. this is one of the largest investments in education reform in american history. and rather than divvying it up and handing it out, we are letting states and school distri

nowhen you stargetting into detai, it's petty asy to get peole wondering gosh, you know, is the devil -- i know better than e devil i don't. d that's why it isso imptant for me to be consistently clear abouthe fact that uer eve oposal that i've discussed, people wouldot have to give up their health-care plan if the are happy with it. they don't hve to chan doctor approximates if they're hpy with it. we want give them more choices. make sure tha th have the kind of insance reforms in ace so that we don't have toee people excuded becau of a preexisting condition om care, if they lose their job, if they change jobs. so the congressional process, people arelways a little suspicious of. i'm confidenthough that in the end any bill i sign is going to make more people secure in their health care. and it's ing to dive down cost over the lo term. >> do youtill believe the house and senate wi get something by the aust recess wich is barely tee weeks away. >> i a -- i thinkhis is actually a good example of ere the focus tes to be on what we ven't gotten done yet rathe than what we'veone. we have

and if we had more republicans standing up for america, rather than playing petty politics and doing stupid stuff, birthers and other things, we could stimulate this economy. we need an infrastructure bank just like that. >> no question about it. mr. injure rewa mr. gerard, do you think there will be a manufacturing ripple effect, that we might see jobs created in manufacturing? we're starting to see cars move off the lot in this country. >> absolutely, ed. the fact of the matter is that those cars have to have -- i agree with virge about buying domestically. those cars will have domestic steel in. those cars will have domestic parts in. but let me go one step further. i think we need to do the same thing with an investment bank. for infrastructure. if we could do the same thing on domestic infrastructure, start to build our water treatment plants, start to rebuild our sewers and pipelines. today driving to work i heard about part of the city of pittsburgh shut down because the sewer lines busted. we need that kind of stuff to go along with the cash for clunkers. do cash for clunkers

but she came across as petty, vindictive. richard nixon without the policy knowledge or the experience. and i think that comes across for her, time and time again. and again, if you are not ready to put up with all that criticism and shrug it off, you don't have any business on the national stage. >> of course, two years later, after his famous -- nixon was on his way to the white house. and, todd, on the point of motivation, one of the things you write about in "vanity fair." let me quote it here. you say, several people told me, independently of one another, that they had consulted the definition of narcissistic personality disorder. in the diagnostic manual of statistical disorders. and some people saying that's a lot of what we saw on friday. >> a lot of people did tell me, she takes everything personally. she has a grandiose sense of her own place in the cosmos. she has an unrealistic sense of what people should expect of her. and what she should be required to deliver. i think, in some ways, as puzzling as her statement

not only does zhao confirm that but they go after each other sometimes in petty ways. zhao, the famous moment when zhao is out of power and he goes to tienanmen square to talk to the students with a bullhorn. he talks about, he talks about-- he then says he was terrified and immediately left. >> a smart move. lohse be a smart move. he also talks about other events that zhao was set before that were deng would show up and stand in front of zhao to be between the photographer had and zhao. they were like little school kids and then to describe how they would rush off to get to deng xiaoping first, that deng did not always know what was going on and someone would present the information to him. it would matter who spends the heads first and will make the decision in an oracle light. this is extraordinary. this is some of our kind of worst fears of how the government might actually be operating, were it in fact true. so, i mean the challenge mostly for me where riding introductions to every chapter so when zhao talked about the specific events and all these people at was n
