washington is mired in gridlock. the arguments raised over taxes, the size of government and foreign wars. but have we heard it all before? today, we step back from the headlines and offer perspective from four widely acclaimed authors: edmund morris, whose "colonel roosevelt," the third of his books on theodore roosevelt, is just out. ron chernow, author of the massive new biography of george washington; bob woodward, who has yet another best seller with "obama's wars;" and arianna huffington, whose provocative new book is "third world america." then, i'll have a final thought on thanksgiving and why it is my favorite holiday. but first, four authors talk about then and now on "face the nation." captioning sponsored by cbs "face the nation" with cbs news chief washington correspondent bob schieffer. and now from cbs news in washington, bob schieffer. >> schieffer: and good morning again. edmund morris, ron chernow and bob woodward are in the studio with us. arianna huffington joins us from los angeles. welcome to al

but this term repudiation of washington. washington only does what's good for washington. washington this, washington that. when did that... this has always worked. republicans use it and it works. democrats out it and it works. liberals use it and it works. why does it always work. >> andrew jackson used it. it worked for him. well, it reflects, you know, i've said this before on the program but to me the most important political polling results of our lifetimes is they ask the question do you trust government to do the right thing most of the time? starting in 1932 straight through the '60s, 70 or 80% trusted government should do the right thing most of the time. that was easy to govern. now it's like 19, 20, 23% percent trust. that trust just isn't there. that's one of the things i think the obama administration misread and now realizes that. they're playing with something real. that doesn't mean people don't want to trust washington. i think they do. it means there's an incredible hostility. there's an assumption that there's corruption in washington and self-dealing.

madison would look at today's leaders in washington d.c. -- washington, d.c. and say, "did i mumble?" [laughter] i believe he and our leaders were incredibly clear. in short, free people work harder. they live better. they take better care of one another than those who are being crushed under the weight of an oppressive government. that freedom helped america grow into the greatest nation the world has ever known. bart 9. -- bar none. unfortunately, that greatness is threatened because washington has expanded at the expense of liberty. maybe it was the desire of earmarks for local projects, but we have allowed for the creation of a monster. the federal government's current role directly contradicts the principles of limited constitutional government that our founders, they established to protect us from. my impression of this skewed balance of power that subjugates state rights to federal dominance led me to write that book. lead me to write "fed up -- our fight to save america from washington." the federal expansion really kicked into gear during the progress

i think washington made a serious mistake. the reason we have bankruptcy laws is to restructure and make businesses more efficient and government needs to stay out of those things. >> chris: let's look at the real world effect of this, buff. there was governor. a study released says general motors and chrysler saved 1.1 million jobs this year and 314,000 jobs this year. you would have just let those people fend for themselves. >> i think your study is looking at one thing. the state of texas over the course of the decade of the 10,000s, 850,000 net new jobs created during that period of time. when you have low taxes and low regulatory climate and legal system that doesn't allow for oversuing and continue to have a great skilled work force because we have accountable skills and then we get out of the way. the federal government ought to try that. i guarantee if this country's economy would go roaring back to life if they saw did not have government interfere with the free market. let it work and i will promise you jobs will be

voters are frustrated with washington and will be frustrated with washington in two years. one of the big difference is for clinton's triangulation was because the economy was coming out, he had the ability to do smaller things and package them in a way that looked like bigger things. obama does not have that luxury. the economy is in terrible shape and voters are pessimistic about the future. there's a real divide in this country and the tea party does not think small. there is a real division here about what is possible to get this country going. i think the governors, because they have to deliver in tough times in their states, could have a real opportunity here. i think haley barbour is a good one. he is tied to washington with an outsider's perspective. he is a good candidate, but the party will have to juggle the palin faction. she will sell well in some places. >> i feel like they want me to be nicer to them because they both know i am close to haley and he is my guy. one thing we see is that there's a feeling inside the republican party that all too often we have go

without being in effect in foreign paper it's wall street over washington wall street is taking control of washington isn't a massive multi-trillion dollar bailout bailout of these wall street crooks by your tax dollars sufficient evidence so i think the big. space that democrats and liberals are making is they're not talking to the teper years that they're backing off and adjusting and censoring themselves and inflating the power of the tea partiers and so is the media i mean the only three four hundred thousand people who call themselves tea party used who spent more than twenty hours in the last six months under initiatives and going to rallies and so forth but you have glenn beck you have fux network you have even the washington post in a new york times pushing pushing and so exaggerates them and that intimidates the democrats to be less progressive and less liberal and so who has the momentum in politics you simply ask one question who's on the on fence even who's on the defensive once the democrats turn became on the defensive they're falling backward they and they're not going to

"the washington post" this morning. guest: washington post' is absolutely right. host: how you do that? guest: you are just march. after 9/11 the federal government was criticized because they had stovepipes of information. they said we have to focus on information sharing. the d.n.i. has talked about the constant tension between sharing information and giving information to people only for the need to know. this does not even come close to that tension. allowing a 22-year-old in baghdad to have access to the conversation of general petraeus and the president of yemen is absolutely crazy. you can create boxes of information and say this information is available to this group of people. you did not dump it all into one place and say everyone has access to all of this. there are other stories out there about people similar to this private first class in baghdad. just going through all of these cables, no need to know. it does not help them do their job. it just makes for interesting reading. they're just going to this and talking about it. it was ineffective, ineffi

and the -- his instinct was to transcend the partisan polarization of washington. i think that was genuine. i think that's why he ran. you know, september 15th in the election he focused -- you know, he focused like a laser on the economy but that wasn't his focus before that. he was much more focused, you know, on a different style of politics in washington. i think he will view these poll results -- he'll view this new moment of opportunity and bipartisanship -- he will do -- i don't know which areas he'll move on. and i think he should move. i don't think he should sit back. i think he should show he's ready to move in areas that people will find surprising. >> should party movement involve the people who work for him? you know, one of the complaints that's emerged and i don't know whether you think it's valid or not is too insular, small group of people electing him. in 1994, you had dick morris, you had leon panetta. >> i left in the spring of 1995. >> right. is that something that is important either symbolically or either actuallily? >> i don't want to speak
