i was reminded of one of my favorite quotes from mark twain among many. it is different to the opinion that may push the races. i thought that was applicable, except for one significant thing. in horse races, but different opinions and at the finish line. and the white house jane, we can talk about it endlessly. that is why i want to get through these remarks so we can get through questions and discussions. let me begin with the disparities. presidents that the voters like and historians considered in a negative light. ulysses-esque rant, coolidge, harding, we could also include a not, eisenhower and reagan, but eisenhower came in immediately after his presidency in the first poll afterwards after the arthur's seniors lessened her second hole, with terrible ratings. down there with chet arthur. [laughter] the first johnson, andrew johnson, chet arthur who was a nonentity and andrew johnson who lost control of the government and the country he was supposed to lead. and i thought that was kind of remarkable that historians would put eisenhower there. almost

and this is all subject to mark twain's dictum about difference of opinions making horse races. grover cleveland is my favorite example. in the first academic poll by arthur schlessinger sr. in 1948, cleveland was rangd eighth, and john adams was ranked ninth. cleveland, as we all know -- we don't know much about cleveland, i mean, i didn't before i started, and to be honest with you, i still don't -- [laughter] i know enough to be able to talk about him a little bit. what we know about him, though, everyone knows is he's the only president who served two nonconsecutive terms. less known is the fact that after each of those terms, his party was tossed out of the white house. the first time, 888, with him on the ticket, and the second time after his party had basically said we don't want you on the ticket, but the voters still tossed out the democrats under william jennings bryan and brought in william mckinley. so he represents -- he really is the only two-time, one-term president in our history. [laughter] so my question is how in the world if you think the voters are not total

you have shania twain. >> you ask the question, what song would you like to do? >> did people wrestle over certain songs? >> it was pretty much -- it gets really ugly. for example, you would think -- >> shania twain was down in the mud with somebody, right? >> why does she know all these details? but i will tell you the truth. honestly, you think, for example, kenny chesney, he's going to have a muscle song. he said lionel, i want to do "penny lover." i said kenny, you can't do "penny lover." that's not the image you need. or you get blake shelton. i made the mistake with blake shelton, for example, i said okay, blake, i'll let you sing, warm up, and then i'll come in. he came in with "baby you'll find." and i'm saying, do you have a volume knob on that plaid shirt somewhere? you can't turn him down. and then tim mcgraw and these guys. these guys -- it's so much fun. little big town, these are the ones. >> did they say yes right away? which i can't -- >> absolutely. you know what's so wonderful though? is that it's almost you get in the studio, it's the way the m

mark twain once said there are lies, damn lies and statistics. the job market created 163,000 positions new jobs in july. when you dig into the numbers you can see it's the private sector doing the hiring here and the government sector that continues to lose jobs. when you look within the sectors you can see leisure and hospitality, 27,000 jobs created there. those are low wage jobs, though. in manufacturing 25,000 jobs created, net new jobs. that's even with the head winds from europe. i want to dig into the numbers longer term. because one month is just one month. the trend is so important when you're looking at the jobs market. this is that terrible, disastrous financial crisis and all the jobs lost, millions of jobs lost in that period. and this is the recovery. and this is what politicians fight about. this is the recovery here. you had a weak spot last summer, a weak spot this summer and now a job market that's doing just a little bit better. so what are the politicians saying about it? here's the spin. the white house focuses on this. 29 m
