. >> larry: george bush also supported immigration laws that you would have disagreed with. >> that's true. >> certainly did. >> larry: hold it. go ahead, jim. >> i was a staunch opponent of president bush, as well as obama. >> larry: one of the things in this law that's puzzling, that she pointed out is, and a police officer was on a recent show discussing it. you can just stop a person on the street and just question who they are based on the way they look or their appearance? >> no. no. larry, the misconception from coast to coast on this law that was written by and crafted by one of the most well-renowned scholars in immigration and constitutional law. chris coback. what has been missing is the rule of law is absolutely blind to race, color, creed, age -- >> but it's not a misconception -- >> whatever -- >> larry: why were so many cops upset with this, saying it would put them in a difficult position? >> i'm sorry, who is upset? >> larry: cops. >> police? some police, perhaps they don't want to enforce the rule of law. perhaps -- >> larry: but the rule of law is it's okay to stop

he ended up going from meeting to meeting caught between saddam hussein and george bush's in patients. he is the executive chairman of the u.s. and monetary inspection commission until june 2003. they told us that he believed iraq did have wmd. >> i felt that iraq retains weapons of mass destruction. i did not say so publicly. i said it perhaps to mr. belair privately, but not publicly. >> he said he believed the controversial british dossier was plausible, but critical of the way the intelligence services relied on the evidence of iraqi defections. >> they should have realized in london and washington that their sources were pork. they want to get a reward for intelligence so they try to give what interrogators want to hear. >> president bush believed in force rather than diplomacy. >> i think the u.s. was high on military. they felt they could get away with that. >> he believed tony blair and genuinely hope to the inspections would work in the military action would be avoided. >> i never questioned the good faith of mr. blair. what i questioned was a good judgment of bush. >> he tol

immigration reform didn't pass under george w. bush because of obama. because of obama? he's one senator. >> larry: hold on. hold on. hold on! you're losing the host. when you lose the host, we're in trouble. aisha, what do you think? >> i think there are three points to make here. first of all, is if you are a strict constructionalist, which most conservatives are, this was a constructionalist decision. it was based on constitutional principles of pre-emption and the state stepping in an area that is not their jurisdiction legally. that's the first thing. the second thing is the reason the government sued on those grounds is that's all they needed to sue on. they didn't need to sue secondarily on grounds of discrimination. even if that would have been the effect of the law. all they needed to do was prove pre-emption, which they did. tertiarily i agree with you this is a huge problem. the last administration with a republican president and republican congress could not solve. and what you have are conservatives who are more interested in being right than doing what's ri

- they did not mention george bush's name at the beginning of the cycle. cornyn now seems to think his stock has gone up and didn't mind talking about him. it is amazing how things have changed since january, 2009. >> and on messaging, we talked with him about checks and balances. but in fact is it going to be a state by state campaign in messaging, or is there a national message going out? >> i think on the democratic side it is state by state. we saw that in pennsylvania when the republicans wanted to run against president obama, speaker nancy policy. the democrats said they care more about washington p.a., then they do about washington, d.c. republicans intend to nationalize in 2010. democrats would love to run on local issues. >> speaking of that, let me turn to capitol hill for the last question. they just passed the financial reform. what are the next couple of months look like -- going to look like legislatively? >> well, legislatively we

i quote here george bush u's mot effective secretary of treasury henry paulson said in an interview in these tools were in e effect early enough we would not have had the crises we had. >> charlie: what he in effect said as you know in his column, if that's the same interview you're talking about. >> yes. >> charlie: he basically said if he had the resolution authority perhaps it would not have been, it would have been able to have different result with lehman brothers and therefore perhaps. >> and naig. i would disagree. it was stronger than that. he started out saying he wasn't going to speculate. he said if we had them earlier enough he could have stopped them. in addition to the resolution authority, we're really changing it to the dissolution authority. sarah palin was right. we have death penalties in our legislation but it's not for sick old women, sick old financial institutions we put them to death in a way we couldn't do in an orderly fashion. even more important, we banned the practices that got us into trouble in the first place. we banned the sub-prime mortgages and we ban

bush. this naacp is an organization in search of a purpose% this is a search for relevance. who would care about this if this had not happened? you have an african-american attorney general in charge of civil rights. civil rights was heroic in a classic civil rights era. that is long over and needs a purpose. this was a publicity stunt. >> let me go back to unemployment. i want to talk about extending unemployment benefits forces extending the tax cuts. >> you have asymmetry there. alan greenspan this week approved the bush tax cuts said let them expire you could pay for the unemployment extension with a bat. unemployment money going out spurs demand that you have on certain the gone and buying power out there. the stimulus works better and you end up with more jobs. >> ne media consultant would say to fill in the black congressman voted for massive tax increases at a time of great unemployment bamut trickle-down does not work. those tax cuts for reckless to begin with and are reckless now.

well definitely we saw that in the years the bush administration well george bush himself praised immigrants and did give a lot of thanks to people that were here doing a job that frankly american citizens didn't want to do and then slowly we saw a lot of criticism from the g.o.p. a lot of critics a lot of conservative critics saying that he should have said that he toughened to stance a little bit we saw the same thing with john mccain who was seem to be pro immigrant and with this whole tea party movement has gotten a lot tougher on immigration he has an election still to come so i mean there's definitely pressures for any sort of republican or g.o.p. candidate or person in office to take a tougher stance on immigration even though it may not have been what they thought initially yeah well definitely and we've seen a lot of politicians flip flop on the issue but i think it's something that's very interesting as we're in a recession the fact that americans think illegal immigrants are taking their jobs but the truth is they don't want to do those jobs or those for mongul and our producer fi

i mean, when george bush was president, george bush ii, he came very close to getting that passed and george bush, of course, was a republican, but he had a significant amount of republican support for that. that has melted away. john mccain no longer is backing comprehensive immigration reform, lindsey graham, who was the last republican standing, he backed away, said he would not support that in response to harry reid saying he wanted immigration to go ahead of energy reform. so the democrats are left standing on their own. >> woodruff: and susan, what's behind the opposition? is it genuine disagreement with what the president's proposing or what? >> i think a couple things have made this harder now than it was even when george w. bush tried it and failed. someone that the economy is so bad. unemployment so high. we're going to get new unemployment numbers tomorrow. we think it's going to head back toward 10%. that makes a lot of americans less seufrp thetic to illegal immigrants, many feel they're taking away jobs americans might have. the other thing that's made the politics of th

bush and george w. bush. most recently when the past administration added to the national debt by prosecuting an endless occupation of iraq, with borrowed money, virtually no one on the other side raised this issue. most recently when the prior administration dramatically reduced the taxes of the top 5% of people in this country by borrowing the money, virtually no one on the other side raised this issue. and today members on the other side both in the other body and here have taken the position that while extending benefits to janitors and bus drivers and salespeople who lost their jobs is somehow fiscally irresponsible, if you don't offset it, then extending tax breaks to the top 5% of the people in the country on a permanent basis is completely responsible. so in other words, the person who is laid off her job cleaning an office building can't get unemployment benefits unless there is a spending cut or tax increase to pay for it. but the person who owns the office building, who could get a half billion dol

market analysis -- analysts larry greenberg studied administrations from john kennedy to george bush and found that, and i quote, jobs grew more slowly for each of the republicans than for any of the democrats. princeton political scientist larry bartal studied administrations from truman to bush and he found to quote a summary of his work, quote, when a republican president is in power, people at the top of the income distribution experience much larger real income gains than those at the bottom. by contrast, he said, democratic presidents generate higher income gains for all income groups. in 2008, the "new york times" asked this question. and i think this is such a compelling comparison. imagine that starting in 1929 you had to invest exclusively under either democratic or republican administrations. how would you have failed? you make your choice in your head right now. you're probably not surprised at what the conclusion was. under republican administrations, your 10,000 dollars invested exclusively in republican administrations -- if you include the hoover administration would
