. >> if you're so in the vanguard against obama care, presumably mitt romney is the least of the four candidates that you would personally endorse, right? because of his own health care plan not that different. >> that's the positive difference i made in the campaign. now mitt romney's answer is that he will get behind a full-scale repeal so no matter who our nominee is, they have all committed verbally to repeal of obama care and now it's up to us to hold our nominee's feet to the fire. >> let's take a little break and come back and talk to you about sex contraception and rush limbaugh. three words i hoped i'd never have to say on national television. >> then don't. >> announcer: this is the day. the day that we say to the world >>> what does it say about the we're lifelock, and we believe you have the right to live free from the fear of identity theft. our pledge to you? as long as there are identity thieves, we'll be there. we're lifelock. and we offer the most comprehensive identity theft protection ever created. lifelock: relentlessly protecting your identity. call 1-800-lifelock

as we were talking about a few minutes ago in the west of middle class was a vanguard of change. they've really drove economic growth and they pushed back against the absolute estate. the chinese will state is much smaller than the old marquee of europe because the monarchies of europe tried to keep down the middle class. the communist party isn't particularly communist has integrated the middle class. they've made them stakeholders in the state so to talk to most which panora il's they don't want to change the system, they are happy and that raises the question is this stable? of those with the wealth and power to change a brac trolley pretty happy with something less than democracy, does that give the model staying power and if the chinese can make decisions about high-speed rail, investment for the long run the fae five-year plan, ten year plan. in the united states we've a lot of government agencies that nobody is doing the long-range economic planning. that's why i think the china model isn't going to carry the day. it's not going to be the model that everyone ascribes to bu

joining us is the director of the vanguard center for retirement research.ive growth. is it a good thing? >> mandy, i think it is. you know, for many years we were worried that workers really struggled with the idea of building a portfolio from the building blocks that were given to them in thundershower 401 k plans. >> does it reduce the return as well? >> what you do see is individuals are in more balanced strategies so you see younger people more equity-oriented and as they approach retirement they get lower risk and lower returns. but, again, lower return is relative to having a diversified portfolio. >> you know, listen, there's no doubt that these can be very useful to people that have busy lives and busy families. don't have time to sit and analyze their portfolios all the time. when i look through target date funds for example the 60 to 64-year-old fund which is in retirement or close to it, it's still 56% stocks. a lot of financial advisors say it's too much risk and the 19-year-old product is not 100% stocks, it's about 90%. how do you determine wh

menard's legacy, of course, was that he was at the very vanguard of a group of african-americans who came into congress. but his experience in being excluded from the seat also intimate what is would occur to african-american congressmen at the end of the century. after formal reconstruction ended in the south in 1877, and what occurred was a process that we're familiar with that took place over several decades in which legal and extra legal methods of disenfranchisement and a system of customs and laws collectively known as jim crow systemically and ruthlessly excluded african-americans from democratic government. but like menard's modest but noteworthy part in all this, the work of 19th century pioneer representatives and senators, african-americans, laid the groundwork for bigger changes and better chances at participation that awaited social and political movements in the 20th century. and with that, thank you and i'll turn it back to john.

despite such appalling conditions the union vanguard, the first missouri cav alary union, and the confederate rear guard, the first missouri cavalary, confederate, talk about a brothers war, kept up a walking flight. and squirmishes flared basically every other day. in the middle of all this, the civil war came to arkansas. it was february 16th, 1862. when price crossed the sbeon co. he and his cold, weary troops continued on to cross hollows, 20 miles farther south, roughly between rodgers and springdale today. and there they joined forces with the confederate army of arkansas. the commander of that army was brigadier general benjamin mcculluck of texas. measles prevented him from gaining immortality. mcculluck missed little else. he fought against santa ana. he mined for gold in california. he commanded a troop of texas frontiers, rangers on the frontier against apatcapaches. and he did a number of things that brought him celebrity in antebellum, america, he is described as the antebellum version of daniel boon from an earlier period. one of the most remarkable things is how his celebrityho

he is a lawyer, a vanguard of the rights defending movement. he attempted to promote the rights of his clients from working within the system. his case shows the government's willingness to persecute those that promote the rule of law from within, but he is not alone. the government continues to hold prominent lawyer chen guan quan. he organized a class-action lawsuit exposing abuses under china's one child policy. the government is also moving forward with the prosecution of a well-known tenants rights lawyer. second, the continued detention of mr. gao is instructive because it is part of a larger crackdown in which the chinese government continues to stifle freedom of expression. as ambassador locke noted last month, repression in china has worsened since the uprisings in the middle east and africa. chen we, chen chi and li te all received prison sentences of five to ten years and they put a fourth activist on trial. each was charged with subversion or its incitement. this larger crackdown will only be exacerbated by the government's incredul

the whig party was really at the more of the vanguard of pushing on the slavery issue. there were some democrats in the northeast particularly in new york there were also raising serious questions about slavery. but if you go to massachusetts, which was the hot bed of abolitionism those abligss were largely whigs. >> how many slaves did james polk own? >> that's a good question. i don't know the answer to that. i didn't get into that. i got scored a bit in a review in ""newsweek"" which was a laudatory review. i was pleased to get it from graham. graham, the chairman of "the washington post." but he notes that i didn't really get into polk as a slave owner. i didn't get into polk's personal life to the extent that he would have liked. i think it's a fair criticism. >> by the way, i remember seeing that and i remember thinking what is donald graham doing a review on a book. >> i've never seen it before. >> do you have any idea why he did it? >> i talked to him subsequently. i wrote a book some years ago on -- we talked about it. and joe alsup was his uncle. his god fathe

he had the social conservative but she lost outreach to people outside that ideological vanguard, and that sort of hemmed him in. if republican women went more for romney. we have a classic confrontation which we've seen in races before where santorum has the more down-scale voters, romney the more upscale, and overall there are just more romney type of voters than santorum voters. that doesn't mean that will be the case in ohio. ohio is a little like michigan but a little more downscale. >> brown: before you get to ohio, what is your read on michigan? >> rick santorum blew michigan. he will look back on michigan as the missed opportunity of his public career. david is right, abandoning the very narrative that brought him to where he was it's grandson of the miner, the blue collar republican who was concerned with manufacturing, for those who weren't part of the country club set. and he did that-- this isn't a man with a chip on his shoulder. he has a two by four on his shoulder. he accuses the president of snobbery for wanting people to go to college. and many of the people he's trum

monroe led a vanguard of men across the kiver. their job was to secure the street heading into town so no one would be able to alert the british and their allies. it was christmas, there had been some revelry, they thought that the hostilities had ceased for the season, and they were unprepared for the attack. in the process james monroe and his men alerted a doctor by the name of liker. he started cursing at them because he thought they were british. when he realized they were patriots, he told them, i, too, am a patriot, and it seems something is going to happen tomorrow, and i'm going to go with you because i may be able to save some poor soul. that turned out to be james monroe, the future president of the united states. during a critical moment of the battle, james monroe charged the cannons, was struck down by a bullet and would have bled out right there had it not been for the doctor. this was one of two incidents in the book where james monroe narrowly escapes death. one of the things i focus on in "founding rivals" is how

monroe led a vanguard of important men across that battle. their job in the morning before the war was to secure the street heading into town so that no one would be able to alert the british and their allies as to what was about to happen. they had been revelry, they thought that the hostilities had ceased for the season and they were unprepared for the attack. in the process, james monroe and his men alerted a doctor by the name of reicher. they woke him up. he came outside and started cursing at them because he thought they were british. when he realized they were patriots, he told them i too am a patriot and it seems something is going to happen tomorrow and i'm going to go with you because i may be able to save some poor soul. well, that poor soul turned out to be james monroe the future president of the united states. during a critical moment of the battle, james monroe charged the canons was struck down by a bullet and would have bled right out on the street for trenton had it not been for dr. reicher. this is one of two incidents in t

and then over time those cities became the vanguard of a commercial revolution.an economic activity. debt instruments. banks. little workshops that eventually became laboratories. they were able to thrive because they pushed back against the nobility, the monarchy and the church. and the rest of the world empires were much stronger, and they were able to maintain centralization. and, therefore, what you saw in europe, the fragmentation of traditional institutions, the birth of the bourgeoisie that embraced the protestant reformation which slowly pushed the catholic church out of politics and led to a sort of secular realm. all of that happened only in northern europe. it then crossed the atlantic and happened here in the united states. but it led to a period in which technologically and economically the western world pulled far ahead of the competitors. and that technology also allowed them to penetrate the competitors. we had better ships, better navigation. and so by the end of the 8th -- 1800, by the end of the 19th century, the west dominated about 80-plus pe
