clinton did not have to say it. i agree with keith. clinton's a real smart guy. he did not have to go out and praise mitt romney to the high heavens which, by the way, he did again today in his interview with maria bartiromo, praised romney. >> these two guys, clinton and obama, come from two different parts of the democratic party. clinton from the center left. obama from the far left. so idealogically, they are poles apart. clinton is much more pro-business than obama. we don't even discuss that. the point is that the days when he was called a racist by the obama people in south carolina, he never -- >> that's not true. the obama people never called him a racist. you had a few people who were concerned about what bill clinton said because he made the comments comparing obama's victory in south carolina to jesse jackson. but nobody ever called bill clinton a racist from the obama campaign. you should not say that. but there's a big distortion about this. hillary clinton is barack obama's secretary of state. they worked together closely. yes, they were rivals in

bush went to visit clinton when president clinton was leaving office in george w. bush asked clinton -- he said to him, you didn't used to be such a great speaker because clinton had given a horrible speech one time i would say it in 1988 democratic convention. and he said do you have any tips about how to give a good speech? the presence club functions on levels both high and sometimes just very practical. >> but ultimately i think what struck us is the ultimate, the rituals and the souvenirs in the clubhouse is, the thing that makes the club the most real is this notion that the office itself is more important than the individual, and who occupy it. we kept hearing this again and again and again particularly when one administration gives way to another. so in january of 2009, president bush summoned the entire club membership to the white house to meet the new guy, and he says at that time to president obama, look, we all want you to succeed and those of us who have been in this office no the office transcends the individual. and i think what we took away from th

clinton never meant lbj. he told us he thought as all presidents or their successors, history will be kinder to him. that is what they hoped for. right over here. >> said the implications of the president's cloud is are there similar models and prime ministers of written? >> i think what is amazing about the presidents cup -- let me answer it this way. i read a story in "the new york times" that it was inevitable this circus would be defeated because he wasn't a typically french president. the french like their presidents grandfatherly and cool in anti-american. [laughter] and sarkozy was none of those things. and that reminds me when they go back to this picture, i mean, go back to these. there is nothing in common about any of these guys. they're all different. we elect presidents who don't begin to sit in the same. if you have back to be just as you can if you added nixon and johnson and kennedy. i mean, this club speaks ira is widely different backgrounds and it's a quintessentially american thing. and i

one of the guys says who's bill clinton? the governor of arkansas. may run for president. i'm a republican he says. he's a democratic governor. then somebody says, this is like five or six weeks. i'm sitting listening to this. somebody says, what? this is crazy he says. i mean even -- nobody ever heard of this guy. i mean, how are we going to raise money for this guy? this is nuts. they came here only because the goldman partner asked him to come. what's the argument to raise money for some governor from arkansas? and i start -- i get agitated at this point and i say, no. this is what you're going to tell people. this is how you're going to raise money for the governor of arkansas. you're going to go out and tell people that when they see him, and when they meet him, and when they hear him speak, and when they see the quality of his mind, his charisma, his intelligence, his good looks even, you're going to tell these people this guy is going to be president of the united states. and they contribute money now they're contribu

clinton, 66. bush, 43. the only area where clinton has been defeated by bush is in unfavorability. >> right. >> and this is a potentially important role from this standpoint too. it is important for the obama campaign to remind people of what he enheritied. it is important to remember the melt down in 2008. to remember the exploding deficits and spending under bush, what the tax cuts did. but there is a sense that if obama is out there directly making that case himself, it looks like he is the guy blaming the predecessor, that can come across the wrong way to people. but if you have bill clinton out there, i can't think after better person, you know, he is basically as prominent as barack obama is, and not only can he defend the obama record, remind people about bush, but also protecting his own legacy there to a certain point. because like he said in that clip, when he left office this country was on course to wipe out deficits and look where they ended up eight years later. >> that's true, but tad, just b

they loved bill clinton, he was dating lounge singers and going to mcdonalds. he was the last democratic president that those guys kind of liked. >> i agree with you completely. i think you're right, you want bill clinton at his side, he is certainly the most popular politician in the world right now. here we have republicans on capitol hill jumps at the chance to read their talking points written for them by their dutiful staff written for them by the rnc and the romney campaign. here is a few of them sports utter dishonesty. >> i want to thank you for having president clinton on, he is the gift that keeps giving. >> with regard to the tax increases, i make the same argument, the same one that former president bill clinton has been making and that is that we need took tend these tax rates. >> bill clinton came out for it before he was against it. >> president bill clinton gets it, he knows you should not be raising taxes on anybody. >> president clinton not wanting to further undermine our economy recommended a short-term extension of all the tax relief. >> it

to raise some money and one of the guys says who is bill clinton? at this meeting. governor of arkansas. he's -- may run for president. he said i'm a republican. he's a democrat? and then somebody says, this is like five or six weeks -- somebody says i'm listening to this, somebody says what, this is crazy he says. nobody ever heard of this guy. i mean, how are we going to raise money for this guy. this is nuts. only because the goldman partner asked him to come. some governor from arkansas. and i get agitated at this point. i say, this is what you're going to tell people. this is how you're going to raise money for the governor of arkansas. go out and tell people when they see him, and when they meet him and when they hear him speak and when they see the quality of his mind, charisma n tell against, his good looks even, you are going to tell people this guy is going to be president of the united states. they are contributing early to somebody as president of the united states. all they have to do is see it and come into contact and he's going to wi

>> first of all is he getting a lot of money from clinton. clinton raised about 7 million bucks from him in new york. clinton is the only democrat who is acceptable on wall street. i think secondly he likes the idea of being paired with the guy famous for creating jobs. eliminating the deficit and balancing the budget. that's a good association for obama. clinton knows is he being used by a guy he doesn't like so he is going to jab him every chance he gets to bring it all down to earth. and that's what i think you are watching here. >> do you think -- bear in mind as i said hillary is not campaigning in this race. you remember how condi rice worked like crazy for george bush with the secretary of state in this race. >> she is in pakistan where she should be. she is doing her job. look, i don't think that barack obama wants' hillary clinton around campaigning but i could be wrong on that that. >> of course he does. >> you think he wants hillary clinton on the campaign trail. >> absolutely. absolutely. i think there is a personal thing. >> ther

on the economy, bill clinton 55%, barack obama 26%. bill clinton. the end of -- let's see, the era of big government is over. i will never forget it. in the campaign so far he's sided with romney saying to extend the bush tax cuts. nothing wrong with bain capital and romney has a successful business career. people like clinton. >> part of it is they remember the '90s as the modern equivalent of the roaring 20s. it was a good decade economically. they like what you were saying. 63% of americans want the bush tax cuts extended. most people think cutting taxes is good for the economy. what hurts the president through all of this and the reason he suffers by comparison to bill clinton, clinton did give a sense he was interested in slowing the growth of spending. barack obama keeps indicating he wants to spend even more. that's a recipe the american people simply don't buy. >> is that what it says about obama? in other words, i'm going to take it to mean a lack of confidence in obama and people don't want the kind of big government that obama seems to st

. >> president bill clinton gets it. he knows in this economy you should not be raising taxes on anybody. >> so it took a while, but republicans in congress finally realize that bill clinton gets it. which i guess means they agree with him when he said this. >> well, i don't think -- the thing that's cost jobs here has been the congress policies. they want austerity now. they've enforced it in the house. while we had 4.3 million private sector jobs in the last 27 months, we've lost 600,000 teachers, firemen, other state and local jobs. >> is the tax policy today fair? >> first of all, a minimum tax of 30% is not all that high. most americans agree if we could have a long-term debt reduction plan that the people that got the most tax cuts in the last decade should give back a little and contribute to it. >> joining me now are richard wolf and karen finney. richard, i said last night that this is much ado about nothing and republicans are just pretending that bill clinton said this stuff. but they're continuing it and push

bill clinton being big daddy clinton, throwing his weight around and showing barack obama how politics is really done. >> sean: herman, one of the things nobody in the media seemed to pick up on -- he said in that interview, he called the current economic climate, the conditions being that of a recession. i would have thought that would have made big news. >> remember, there are a lot of disgruntled democrats. so clinton's remarks plays right to the disgruntled democrats. but here's one other thing here you have to remember, at least i thought about, remember when he was going to run for his second term, he move to the middle. i think he is trying to give barack obama advice, saying what he should do. but unfortunately because of the arrogance of this president, he is not going to listen to it. clinton is, you know, he doesn't feel as if he has anything to lose. i would agree with michelle about the points she made. but a lot of it has to do with he realizes that obama is going to lose if he doesn't extend existing tax rates and move to the middle-- >>> this is interesting to me, miche

i mean -- is clinton going rogue? >> look, bill clinton is referred to often in the democratic circles and some other circles as the big dog, the big dog goes where he wants to go and says what he wants to say. he is supposed to be a surrogate for barack obama, perhaps he is. but i don't think there is any way to control him. i don't think that's going to happen. he is going to say what he thinks. let's remember, that there is a striking parallel between these two presidencies. both presidents clinton and obama started out -- govern from this left. they both had severe party reduke bukes in the mid-term elections and responded differently. clinton went to the center, obama has stayed on the left. i think that clinton believed then and no doubt believes now what he did was the wiser course,ed shrewder course, the better course politically and perhaps for the country. i suspect that he has deep within him a certain contempt for the way that barack obama has handled the situation. >> he is a surrogate. it's the job of th
