and teddy -- theodore roosevelt defeated not said he's not going to run again, he would've had a third term. there's no question because of his popularity. i think your question is roosevelt then became the powerful, hugely admired president because of his third term, but he made it world war ii and the success he had sayer to make that third term valuable. i've been asked whether or not we shall may have one term. i think the idea of allowing the american people the right to choose or not choose the election of a president one time is enough because you do have the potential for what we see in places like shabazz and so forth. i would say that our system is from that standpoint correct. but i think we don't want third terms. thank you. any other questions? yes. there is a question over there. >> with all the studies you down on the characteristics of a corrupt leader, is there a person or a couple of people that today not strongly enough obama does she think would have those characteristics to lead the country through the issues it faces their? >> and you want to be president?

but he would've been a third term president, and theodore roosevelt, if he had not said that he was not going to run again, he would have had a third term. there's no question because his popularity. so that i think your question is -- roosevelt then became a powerful, hugely admired president, because of his third term. but he needed world war ii and the success he had their to make that third term valuable. i've been asked whether or not we should have only one-sixth term. i think allowing the idea of having american people to choose or not choose the reelection of a president one time is enough, because you do have the potential for what we see in places like chavez and so forth. i would say our system from that standpoint is correct, but i think we don't want third terms. thank you. any other questions? >> yes. there's a question over there. >> with all the studies you have done on the characteristics, is there a person or a couple of people that today, well, not romney and not obama that you think would have those characteristics to lead the country to the issues that face us today

washington, theodore roosevelt and the din that's right shocked the nation. thank you. >> thank you. >> the first ladies i am drawn for the ones on the ground floor that sort of more modern day first ladies that i can identify with more. people like eleanor roosevelt, jackie kennedy, those are the women whose stories feel close enough to connect with. many of the women in the higher floors on the state floor, they seem like characters from a wonderful story, because it was such a long time ago. it's history and you read a

washington, theodore roosevelt and the white house dinner that shook the nation. why did this dinner drive the nation nuts? >> this dinner is a remarkable moment in history that has been completely forgotten, and it's because we just don't know about scandals like this. you know, our meter has changed. when booker t. washington walked up the five steps to the white house, he was the very first african-american to be invited to sit at the president's table. it had never happened before. african-americans had been invited to meet with presidents in their offices, they, you know, had business meetings all the time, but no one ever sat at the president's table. and the nation was outraged. it was really astonishing. >> why was he invited, by the way? >> el, booker t -- well, booker t. washington had a very, very successful working relationship with theodore roosevelt, and he were working together to try to fix the race problem which was just as much with us, obviously, in 1901 as it is today, and, um, they were partnering to try to bring right-minded people into gover

then how did theodore roosevelt get up there?he do to help the future of the country, tell me how speak softly and carry a big stick affected matter, ronald reagan, are not qualified. what are the qualifications? >> i mean, i would like to know, you raised the segment, you said what are the qualifications for getting up there. look, i don't know if we're ready to put reagan or obama or clinton, i don't know why he is not a part of the discussion, i don't know if we're ready to put them up there. but i think given a little time they will be seen as great presidents. >> but you look at reagan, he ended the cold war. we have to have a legacy that changed the country. obama was the first black president. that in itself is such an accomplishment that he will always, always be remembered for. >> and he stopped two wars, and the whole question of finance reform on wall street and health care. he has done some concrete things. i think -- the reason i raised teddy roosevelt, a lot of people can say he was more of a character than a transf

theodore roosevelt did not use one in his inauguration. some presidents open the bible to specific passages, like bill clinton who rested his hand on galatia galatians, chapter 6, verse 8. some presidents use two bibles. the inaugural parade dates back to the days of george washington, but his parade was fairly small, not the spectacle we see today. >> i think the modern parade, what we'll be watching on monday really emanates from 1904 when theodore roosevelt had geronimo and apache warriors come and had fur trappers and outdoors people. since then, each year, the parade seemed to get better and better. ♪ >> in 1837 martin van buren became the first president to use hail to the chief at his swearing-in, which was held in march. march 4th was the previous inauguration date because it four presidents with lame duck status. the tradition of the inaugural ball started with james and dolly madison in 1809. the tradition so popular, presidents starting with dwight eisenhower began holding multiple parties. john f. kennedy attended five inaugura

george washington, thomas jefferson, theodore roosevelt and abraham lincoln etched in stone forever. is there room for another? conservatives have long argued their idoled president ronald reagan is worthy of the honor. but does president obama deserve to be up there with the others? it's a provocative question being raised in an article in the "national journal" today and it has everyone talking and debating. joining me now is host of "the cycle, msnbc and abbey huntsman. thank you boet for your time. >> what about those who say obama isn't ready? reagan should go there first. i'm not ready to put reagan on mount rushmore at all. we're talking figuratively, right? >> you're on politics nation. we have chizles and hammers here. >> okay. all right. >> reagan or obama? >> i'll put up reagan, you can put up obama. we'll chisel together. >> i think he had a very strong first term, saving detroit, ending two wars, aca, changed americans fundamentally, as best he could from the dump that bush left us. but i want to see a little bit more. what are you going to be able to do with immigration

the game was so wild, many wanted it banned outright, prompting theodore roosevelt, a fan, to plead with it down. he succeeded and football has grown ever since. not terribly long after world war ii surging in popularity. >> and what changed that in the 1950s was television. television made it possible for football fans everywhere to follow professional football and it also opened it up a game for people who had no connection whatsoever with the universities. >> reporter: tv turned it into big league entertainment with slow-motion replays, cute cheerleaders and superstar athletes. today pro football has by far no more fans than any other american sport and each super bowl is a record breaker even before the kickoff. tom foreman, cnn, looking for tickets in washington. >>> coming up, what's a super bowl party without $65,000 worth of chicken wings?

1% is a recent discovery, a recent event, i read last year the biography by edmund morris of theodore roosevelt. result, of course, the american president made a lot of political capital out of attacking at least rhetorically and in practice serving what he called a criminal elite. this is in the 1900's, early 20th century. this is a 1950. approximately 2000 individuals are in a position to control and direct industry. 27,000 giant firms constituting only 1% -- employ over 50% of the people engaged in business today. so while you can say that on the subject of level there has certainly been a downturn in optimism and a sense of momentum, on the actual level of political and economic control, it is not that change, it is just that things have fallen their natural involution to a higher degree. so what we have today is precisely what roosevelt willed about 100 years ago and what was noted in 1950. in fact, what marx predicted in the 19th century. so those of us that are prone to fall into despair over what is going on and who feel depressed about it, and we thing to explain our despair and depres

. >> well, it is my sad duty to inform david that theodore roosevelt is dead, nelson rockefeller is deadand yes, even richard nixon is dead. this republican party, he can attach whatever wings he wants to, i read his article carefully. he is brilliant, a writer about brain behavior. partisan politics, i'm not sure. this republican party is what it is, although interestingly, the republican party as it is right now, based in the south and the midwest, being what it is in the sort of ronald reagan-bush family image is moving very rapidly. don't forget, lawrence, within the last couple of weeks they caved on the fiscal cliff, at least temporarily. they just voted in john kerry by 94 to 3. and leaving aside the guys from texas and oklahoma, all the other republicans voted for john kerry. and they're moving very quickly on immigration. so i think on the one hand the party in its guts, in its roots is not about to change any time soon. and they can forget about the old northeastern republicans. on the other hand, they have looked into the abyss, i think, and they have seen that they have to ch

theodore roosevelt, an 1880s, he decides he wants to do with politics. all of his friends said when he doing? and roosevelt said, i am going to the german and irish bars. and they said how can you do that. there are germans and irishmen are. [laughter] and he said, local power in the city is decided in those solutions. and you can sit set up their and your penthouse only one. i want to be in the room where the decision is made. this is where i so deeply disagree with our consulting class and the comments of our last nominee. i don't see demographic problems. what do you think are asian-americans won't? want a good education. they are passionate. they love their children and they invest heavily in them. they invest more heavily in him than any other ethnic group in america. i saw a survey this morning they came out. guess what the number one validation of achievement as seen by college students is today? twenty-five or 30 years from now, how do you know you will be successful? by owning house was the answer. if you are are a left-wing collectivist that wo

bereavement and he affirmed the oath rather than swore to it which the constitution -- the next was theodore rooseveltcause he took office after the death of the president and he was in a hotel in buffalo and apparently, they didn't have gideons' bibles around. he was the next one. and so, you look at those, three the last is lbj, who, of course, after another assassination, they had a catholic missile that he took the oath on. scattered throughout american history. >> have presidents invoked religion in their addresses, always? >> every president has invoked god or a deity in general, but not very specifically. none has actually mentioned jesus christ, four have invoked christianity. also uneven. >> has religion become more or less important over time in inaugural addresses? >> looking into the subject, i'm surprise s surprised to see the turning point came with fdr. first to have an invocation and benediction, the first to go to church on inauguration day. those things tradition nous are only as old as the 1930s and '40s. of t >> the significance of president obama using you dr. king's bible cannot

but under theodore roosevelt.ed to that party that wants to keep our food safe and environment clean that could distinguish between regulations that matter to life and not beyond the meaningless one taxing business to death? that could disseven the difference between an smart government and excessive government that brought us our national parks. what happened to that party? the party whose first slogan, free soil, free men and now it's free fall. they have forgotten their past. a party that defined itself not what it could give you but the boundless opportunities this country could employ you. abraham lincoln i saw in that movie spoke at a time when republican ideals wasn't a script. it was their core. it was real. abraham lincoln was real. forget about harry reid trying to show democrats a movie that provided a lesson in backbone. how about republicans watch it on their own and then and then, maybe just look in the mirror. all right. we're going to have a lot more on this with rudy guliani picking apart what has

he is delighted that he thought of something theodore roosevelt did not think of, and he knew it wouldim wild to think that he missed that opportunity. ever since wilson, almost all president of the united states have taken the opportunity to go to congress in hers and. jefferson -- to go to congress in person. jefferson, as i say, was trying to downplay a lot of the ceremony, but he also understood the need for an inauguration. he understood the purpose of it. after a divisive election, the election of 1800 was one of the most divisive, and everybody has to choose sides, the inauguration is the moment that we all come back together again. this is not a presidential candidate. this is the person that was elected. this is the person that is going to lead the country for the next four years. we need to put aside the elections, heal the wounds of the election. so, in the election, jefferson says we are all federalists, we are all republicans, basically, we are all americans, coming together and we are going to work together. this is the hope that every president has is -- in his inaugural
