the division's top so some people had to be pulled back from the brink on that but sure, politics, tommyorker, can't take politics out of politics. >> host: in "a century turns" the center of the book really is the clinton administration because it is so this transition between the two bush's and everything else it is a period of peace, prosperity, a huge economic growth, it is a period as you say of welfare reform and centrist policies it's also this period of the scandal and great partisanship outrage. how in the end do you think historians are going to assess the clinton administration? is a great presidency, weird presidency? >> guest: i don't think a great presidency may be that level. it will be on the good side will be regarded as you said as a presidency where people work together,, and names on a number of things. i think also, and i see this in the book this is one of the really three good decks presidencies in american history whether this guy is a psychologist or showing what a good god, he has done very good work with its ban overseas in the east or far east, the tsunami in

another one is in wisconsin, where former governor tommy thompson, who's now a health care lobbyist,re to run, he was a very popular two-term governor. he probably could overcome the lobbyist stigma because people know him and know him from his tenure in wisconsin. if he runs, that gives russ feingold a big old headache and a big potential to lose that race. so when you have so much unpredictability in the political system right now, these seats that otherwise seemed untouchable a couple months ago are now very touchable and very -- >> isn't russ feingold still pretty popular in wisconsin? >> he's still pretty popular. russ feingold is one of the guy who comes here and does exactly what he said he was going to do. he's kind of his own guy, often irritates his own party by taking stands that they don't like, that tends to -- my people from wisconsin, that tends to be the type of politicians that we have produced over the last 100 years. so wisconsin likes that. but tommy thompson was very, very popular as governor and people remember him from his days as governor, which were good time

the -- i have a feeling, however, that tommy know, some of the energy has gone out of this approach to warfare. now, the critical test of marja, which was well reflected increased chivers's speech. the critical burial is to bring civilian services to the people of the region and to make sure that they are not tainted by corruption. that they have the order in that area. given the history of the area and given the danger of operating and given the complexity of it. but we are committed to it. and what the military likes to call proof of concept, marja is a test of the strategies that are being put into place. so just to make clear, there was going to be a date in which this campaign and if we start saying we succeeded and we start to pull out. we're going to repeat the past. and that's not the way to do it. remember, it's clear, hold, build and transfer. the clear phase was always going to be relatively easy and the casualty rate was very low. the hold phase is a transitional phase in my view. it's the build and transfer that is the test of our policies, build and transfer. and that's w

"the wall street journal" -- their lead editorial is writing against the process for voting. if nancy pelosi decides the house members would not have to vote, but would deem the senate bill passed. frisco, texas, on the independent line. caller: yes, i'm against the bill. there certain parts that i think are good. i'm working with my congressman, senator. my congressman who happens also t

. -- to tommy, on the republican line. caller: i want to express my opinion -- people voted for the end of the war, and relied on obama. he just did not deliver that. now he sends more trips to afghanistan. the only thing really changed with obama is he fits the bill more for a modern and new politically correct version of the same supremacy of democracy. i see lots of parallels with "1984." this all strikes me as very scary. obama and his administration and democrats have not come up with anything new. they are trying to imitate the regime's of western democratic socialism seeing in canada and other such countries. i'm not optimistic about the war in iraq, or the war in afghanistan. i think he is only unifying his own agenda and try to fit the bill with the western europe and canada and many of the regimes that seem very similar. host: thanks for your call. about health care, we will talk more about it later in the program. an article here in "the washington post" -- harry reid is losing ground. the approval rating of oth
