official washington islamist enemy is the stuff of hollywood farce. beat a shia or sunni, the islamists are a limited band of fanatic nihilists, ready to kill widely and indiscriminately for the pure joy of murdering. and ready to sacrifice their lives because my daughters go to university, i went hold early presidential primaries every four years, and because i, may god forgive me, have one or more sam adams after work. would that such an enemy existed, for he would be at most the legal nuisance and not a national security threat posed today to lesser or greater degree by iran, the saudi islamist imperialism, and the sunni islamist movement symbolized and inspired by osama bin laden. this view of america's islamist enemy is unfortunate endemic in both u.s. political parties, much of the u.s. and western media, and perhaps most damaging, much of the academy, especially and most prestigious universities. it is in my judgment that this is almost entirely without substantiation. and it continues to be washington's working assumption, america will slowly

"washington journal" is live at 7:00 a.m. on c-span. in his weekly radio and internet address, president obama urges congress to agree on a budget that cuts government spending without sacrificing needed investments in education. he gives his remarks from high school in miami where he spoke to students and faculty members. the tennessee rep has the republican address. she says reducing government regulation is the path towards job growth. >> i am visiting a school in miami. jeb bush and i feel it is an american issue with education. we've got to deal with what teachers and students are doing. we have to step up our game. our top priority has to be creating new jobs and opportunities in a fiercely competitive world. this week, we received good news on that front. we learned the unemployment rate has fallen to the lowest level in nearly two years as the economy added another 222,000 private-sector jobs last month. we have a lot more work to do. the progress we are seeing says something about the determination and ingenuity of our people a

it's the fact that washington, d.c. truly believes that all power and all money should be air gated to them so that they can run and control your lives. is that what thomas jefferson and our founders wrote in the declaration of independence and then in the constitution of the united states? i don't think so. thomas jefferson said he could see into the future that big government would be the problem. he said let's bind them down with the constitution. weren't they wise in what they wrote? that was very wy because what they understood is that the solution to our problems was not washington, d.c. because what did they do? they come up with really great ideas like cowboy poetry festival. that's a must have. or like telling you which kind of light bulb you have to go down to your hard ware store and buy. and by the way just so you know, i introduced the light bulb freedom of choice act. yes. i think iowaens are to be trusted on the choice of their own libetbubs. and who can access the internet and what are schools can teach?

it is important to focus on the full scope of spending problems in washington, d.c. republicans are determined to begin a dialogue about entitlement reform even though the president has sidestepped it. failing to express the explosive growth of entitlements means failing to address the debt crisis. that means more uncertainty for small businesses who create jobs and more uncertainty for americans who count on programs like medicare and medicaid. without reforms, they will not be there for future generations, and that is unacceptable. my republican colleagues and i headed back to the district this week to start a dialogue about all of these issues. we invite the president and our democratic colleagues to join us in this dialogue. together, we can end the uncertainty in our economy and replace the crushing burden of debt in america with economic growth, freedom, and prosperity. thank you uc

good evening it's tuesday march eighth four pm here in washington d.c. i'm lucy catherine of and you're watching our t.v. now when someone screws you over it's pretty normal to want revenge right but a new campaign called making wall street pay is taking to the streets literally people are angry with big banks and they say the taxpayer money has been wasted and that was straight is to blame for sinking the american economy but will their shots fall on deaf ears and will those responsible for the financial mess ever be held accountable well joining me now from war is jordan as deval dorgan. as it would be national people's action and then let me get to pronounce the action again as head of state as the rest of us write about that so let's let's talk about this issue let's talk about the financial situation here in washington we know that this month or not in this month in february the u.s. deficit for that month reach a staggering two hundred twenty three billion dollars obviously we're in a financial mess it doesn't take a genius to figure that out and y

is what is washington and other countries going to do about that are the french move would appear to suggest that the french and any of them possibly encourage the british and the americans one to safeguard benghazi. i think it's very possible that you may see the establishment essentially of two regimes in libya and military steps to ensure the security that because the regime does the french. foreign intervention is one step closer military invasion i'm thinking about. well i don't think invasion is anything anyone in certainly in the united states wants to see. i think there are a range of ups and options which have been raised both in the congress and certainly within the administration among them no fly zone and large shipments and protective shipments of humanitarian and other aid possibly even some military support i would assume that would be of a nonlethal nature. at least initially and then perhaps a defensive nature i don't think they want to be seen as fueling the conflict but i do think that politically they'll want to be seen as having made an effort to protect those in

we cannot just to feed the left in washington. we need 40 more house seats in washington. we need to pick up the state senate here. we need to strengthen the hand the government has. we need to recognize the 513,000 elected officials of the state and local levels, and only 537 in the federal level. we need then for the first time in 80 years to replace the governing structure of the left with the governing structure that is center-right, and we need fro the very first day to implement decisively every establishment of an american exceptional is some that recognizes the power starts with you and goes to washington when necessary. art does not start in washington with a bunch of judges and bureaucrats dictating to you what to do. thank you, good luck, and god bless you. attendeds roemer public schools. he went on to harvard universit where he received his degree in 1964. governor romer served four terms in united states congress. as a conservative democrat he broke ranks with his own party to vote for president ronald reagan. he was louisiana governor from 1988 until 1992, b
