and that's when they went back to salem. c-span: so, ralph waldo and henry david thoreau is in the same community? >> guest: absolutely. absolutely. and thoreau worked for emerson, was friends with emerson. so sort of, in some sense, tutee of emerson, but then, from some points of view, surpassed emerson. hawthorne and thoreau were good friends too, in some ways better friends than hawthorne and emerson who were more like rivals. hawthorne bought thoreau's boat, called the pond lilly, that -- to help thoreau. thoreau didn't have much money. he really liked thoreau, respected thoreau. they were both kind of sardonic men, unusual men, eccentric men, and in some ways loners, even though hawthorne was married. c-span: is nathaniel hawthorne on author's ridge? >> guest: yeah. c-span: buried there with all the rest of them? >> guest: yeah. c-span: i know, emerson ... >> guest: he was in the vanguard. c-span: well, emerson is down the road there, within half a block in the same cemetery. >> guest: well, he has that big boulder. it

he ended up in the town of new salem, where he are rives as a piece of floating driftwood -- where he arrives. he became a clerk. he became popular. was appointed postmaster, ran for and on the second try was elected to the state legislature. borrowed money to buy himself a suit and decided on a career in a law. he benefited from the easy-going disorder of frontier society, with a solidity and absence of confining role and regulations. he came to new salem and in a matter of weeks he could ingratiate himself to the citizens to the extent of being a plausible candidate for office. he did not have to be defined as his father's son only. he could begin over again and again. not everything about this is good. lincoln regretted the lack of educational opportunities in his own life. but one cannot separate the resourcefulness of his character from the fact that his origins, were there in a frontier society. there was nothing ordinary about lincoln, but his ascension to the presidency is certainly an example and was taken as such and always has been taken as such, an example of the common ma

host: winston-salem, north carolina. larry, independent line. good morning. caller: one quick comment. a lot of people in this nation have forgotten we're a republic, not a two-party system or otherwise. this is the first time i've done this in my life, i hate what is happening to our nation. it's being torn asunder. i am sick of it. these people who go to "tea parties," they love the country, they are getting fed up with not who is in the white house, but fed up with the foulness and stench coming from all the money wasted on stupid things. to begin with, when i turned on my tv, you were talking about campaign finance money. host: ken vogel? guest: foreign money is prohibited. there were news stories about foreign contributions to obaa. the obama campaign went through it's rather extensive filings and flagged and returned every one of them. as recently of -- as last year, we were still seeing the obama campaign return donations. it's not unusual to refuse or return donations, including foreign nationals, a donor gave more than allowed, or it was from a corpo

winston, salem. caller: i'm a democrat. two brief statements. i think federal money would increase amounts and focus though on green energy, on training people for green energy. on instituting more holistic directives and training people for that. secondly, i'd like to say - you know under 30, i've been watching c-span for years and an among many things i'm a rap artist. my space.com. united we stand. i want to make a brief philosophical submission to my conservative friends. infrastructure and everything you rely on is based on reliable may tufrment our politics should at well and the most reliable principle is evolution and conservatives maybe need to give up the conservatism because they don't seem to be evolving with the times. we need you to come back into the fold instead of retreating to the madness and rhetoric. and you know, love c-span and everybody that calls- the regardless of the position. host: president obama picked the make before congress goes on recess most like late. couple of key members of the judiciary committee. senator le

gettman at prohibiting the end salem and healthy food in machines some have a note nutrition standards for food one of the recommendations is congress refrain from imposing additional regulations are mandates outside of the federally subsidized programs if congress does not work to create nationwide nutrition standards how we ensure that our children are only offer the healthiest food? >> thank you. a couple of responses come to mind include schools and school districts are moving in the right direction as to information you just shared demonstrates fairly significant although certainly not all school districts are already moving in the direction of making that local determination and for what is appropriate. one thing we have not talked about too much is the mind of the direction many school districts are going to with regard to implementing standards for school nutrition that i am not sure we address the question whether national standards have improved over those which already exist? sometimes the flip side of uniformity is maybe we have not reached quite as high as we would have li

and as a constituent from salem said to me, "where's the the fairness in that?" and when american citizens are saying time and time again when a clause is written in the fine print defy fundamental fairness, saying where's the the fairness in that? at every level we had a breakdown in our financial system. we know what happened. the deck was stacked against the ordinary citizen, and it turned a banking system that was designed to help families, strengthen families, strengthen small businesses into a casino for wall street's big bets. and when those bets went bad, the taxpayers -- you and i -- were left holding the bag. now, as the effort to restore fair rules of the road to wall street heats up here on the floor of the senate, there are those in wall street and those on this floor that want to block reform. they don't want to fix any of these things i've been describing. recently the minority leader met with more than two dozen wall street executives and hedge fund managers and urged them to let members of the party who would stop these reforms that serve the ame

next subpoena larry on our line for independents out of winston-salem, north carolina. larry?host: hi. what i wanted to say is be careful about politicizing this situation, trying to say it is democrat or republican, because those are things that are just being manipulated by the people in power to keep those of us that are on the bottom with each other instead of looking at the problem. just like these people pay lobbyists who lobby congressmen to get their way. they also pay media people to advocate their position. why would anyone even goin write an article about a company that has done wrong and asks us to question if we're looking at the right people. we already know we're looking at the right people. host: we're going to take a short break from our discussion regarding the s.e.c. charges against goldman sachs to talk about yesterday's hearing in the senate judiciary committee, talking about the nomination of goodwin lue at the university of california. he's a professor out there at the berkeley law school. and jong to us talk a little bit more about that is the chief con
