president, winston churchill said, "the truth is in convertible. ignorance may be righted. malice may be sorted, but there it is." the truth is that israel wants peace and the palestinians are avoiding it. this resolution is not advancing peace, but undermining it. the un was created to advance the cause of peace. palestinians are turning their back on peace. today, do not let history record that you helped them do that. thank you, mr. president.

the term special relationship was coined by winston churchill during world war ii and was embodied in his close friendship with his friend roosevelt. they bonded during the cold war, establishing a famous hot line between the white house and 10 downing street. relations did take a dip in the '90s when major was prime minister but rebounded ben tony blair took office. a leader described as a kindred spirit to the american president, at the time, bill clinton, and staunch ally after that two president george w. bush. president obama struggled a bit with british prime minister gordon brown. he was criticized for giving brown as a handful of dvds adds a gift in 2009 but the president has seemed far more comfortable with brown's successor david cameron. they have gone to great lengths to show their relationship is alive and well. earlier this year they took in a basketball game together in march madness but the next day the leaders took pains to prove they were on the same page politically as well as personally. >> david shares my belief that in a time of rapid change the leadership of the

he's like winston churchill and the bible. point pillows on either side of the couch. that's a sign of the long and rich and varied life. i think his religious views are widely misunderstood. many conservatives would like him to be this cold eighthist, which he wasn't. he believed in the cultural utility of religion. he believed in religious liblt which has a religious person myself, religious liberty is fundament fundamental, so to speak, and critical to the actual practice of religion because faith that's coerced isn't faith. it's tyranny. if god himself didn't compel obedience, then no man or government should try. i think the other thing that comes up a lot with jefferson is he's caricatured as a hopeless hypocrite. the author of declaration of independence is a slave owner, we can't learn from him. he was not a conventional christian. he must be a atheist. we can't deal with him. one of the reasons we're talking about him here is that he embodied the best and the worst and all the multiple variations of the american exper

he admired winston churchill and abraham lincoln, but he admired woodrow wilson because he said that even though wilson was too much of an idealist to be an effective president, that he was a man of thought and of action, and that's what nixon considered himself to be. c-span: here's a quote about ronald reagan, and he has a lot of this in the book, where he talks about his predecessors: "he does look great, though. he told me he exercises out on the ranch every day. of course, he didn't go through >> guest: i think that really cuts to the essence of who richard nixon was. he was such a fighter. he was so determined to come from -- he started his political career from nothing, he worked his way to the top. and i think that he really prided himself on the inner strength that he had; that he'd always been a fighter; that even after watergate he was not going to lay down and take the punches and retire and be a recluse; that he was going to continue to contribute where he could and when he could. and that's what drove him in the last years of his life. in fact, they were the same things
