in the election he seemed to be more likeable at a better alternative to jimmy carter. and people took a chance on him. he had that going into mitt romney does not. do we obsess so much. >> i remember regan in the first two years of the first term was disliked. his favorables dropped. it is when the tax cuts took affect on january 1, 1983 that the boon in the economy occurred and his likeable. bill clipton and jack kennedy same thing. it was much more likeable when they provide prosperity. >> neil: how do you describe or react to the polls that show it is a tight race and best and iffy nonexistent recovery. it must explain to the president's personal appeal? >> i don't think so. jimmy carter was doing okay. >> neil: good point. >> he was not ahead of ronald regan andine at this stage. what people are trying to do is get their arms around mitt romney. he is unknown person to them and once they are convinced that he can right the ship and make it go. i think mitt romney and paul ryan will be enormously likeable and barak obama will be disliked as jimmy carter in due cours

be most remembered about jimmy carter's inauguration was that long walk from the capitol to the executive mansion took in forty minutes to cover a mile and a half as he walked along with amy prancing jumping and dancing along at his side he was shattering recent presidential practice and legit the idea that a president must be remote and removed from the people after he left the white house jimmy carter chose not to get rich but instead to build habitat for humanity houses and work for world peace even richard nixon knew how important it was to seem like an average american when running for public office. i am going at this time to give to the television radio order for you a complete financial history. everything i ever. everything i've spent. everything i own. and i want you to know i should say this that doesn't have a make. but she does have a respectable republican cloth coat we did get something a bit after the election. a man down in texas heard the radio mention the fact that our two youngsters would like to have a dog we got a message from the union station baltimore saying they

economy under jimmy carter apply more strongly today. >> how so? >> well, obama is the same kind of anti business president and anti enterprise president, the same kind of managerial, interfering, strangling, suppressing president that jimmy carter was. >> you right in here about president obama. want to get to the right page socking quoted correctly. under the obama administration the u.s. experienced a more bit subversion of the infrastructures of its economy, the public sector has become and manipulative force, aggressively intervening in the venture and financial sectors with guarantees in some tensions that attract talented. >> the worst of this is the dream cast of obama administration. the epa now has gained control over our breathing. you know, co2 has been deemed a pollutant, dangerous to the environment. co2 is, of course, what these plants -- feeds plants and keeps us alive. is the breath of life. to attempt to suppress co2 epitomizes the kind of in time nature, anti enterprise spirit of this the minister mission. and it is the reason we

1976 jimmy carter saw what george mcgovern had did and he noticed there was an opening in iowa so jimmy carter spent probably the better part of a year sleeping on couches and people's bedrooms and getting known by the people of iowa. the memorial service years ago president carter told how difficult it was to get press in iowa and the former governor from georgia he said finally jody scored a television spot early in the morning and said the your driving to the tv studio and says by the way, i guess it's not mr. president, it was jimmy. do you have any favorite recipes? i guess there is a cooking show and the host is wearing an apron and a chef's cap so i believe carter came up with a recipe because he prepared to do virtually anything to reach the goal to win the nomination and the presidency. carter of course a one-term president although i think his legacy will be seen in a much more favorable light than it has been and i have a piece that is going to appear in the daily beast website over the weekend, which is about commission in camp david on what happens when one does out jew and

but i do think that bringing jimmy carter on stage next to barack obama's a pretty fitting place. the time of unfortunate malaise and high interest rates and rampant unemployment and interest rates -- i mean, it was a terrible time for our economy. i think it's probably appropriate that jimmy carter has brought upon charlotte and the democratic national committee so w can highlight a similar problem we are experiencing with barack obama, a person who hasn't been able to lead this country out of a very difficult economy that he promised he would fix and he didn't. >> greta: would you like to see president bush 43 be part of your week? your convention? and has the invitation gone out? >> certainly, i don't think -- i think it's been reporting radioit's been reported that he can't for health reasons. but there hasn't been a day in barack obama's presidency than when bush 43 was president. he has to live with that record. they have just completely failed. so it's something that i don't think they can run on. i know they like to talk that way, but they have done a miserable job and the

in many ways, this may prove to be a repeat of 1980 where jimmy carter was leading ronald reagan until people realize that ronald reagan was a viable alternative to what they thought was a failed presidency of jimmy carter. the numbers began to move significantly. that is what people will start paying attention. >> has the media been fair to mitt romney? >> i think president obama's has gotten quite a few breaks. i have not seen governor romney get many breaks. this is a tough business were no one expects to get breaks from the media. gov. romney ought to be pleased with the fact that after all this money has been spent on negative ads, certainly not hope and change trying to drive this class warfare message. it has not moved the numbers. if you are mitt romney, you ought to be a pretty good. >> on another race, you expressed your desire to run for with. you are running unopposed. >> i will pay more attention to that. beenour years i've chairman of a senatorial committee. after our loss and being in the minority them could 2009, i felt one of the most important contributions i could do

remember, ted kennedy challenged jimmy, sitting president jimmy carter. very unusual. carter beat him. but there was that very awkward moment when kennedy seemingly would not shake or for some reason shake jimmy carter's hand. that's what we saw over and over again descension in the ranks. you won't see that happening. joe biden and barack obama are going to be hugging each other and every democrat is going to embrace barack obama because of the memory of that, an awkward moment of that, for example rick santorum won't shake mitt romney's hand, there is suddenly a video clip of that. it will steal away from the speech or speeches, and it will be the talk of the nation. >> jennifer: for sure. it's why party discipline is so important. thank you so much for coming in and sharing with us those nuggets of history. that's historian douglas brinkley. >>> after the break there are many things about the political process that brett erlich would like to see changed. just not at the expense of his couch time. >> they say be the change you want to see in the world. if that fails,

ronald reagan went out to beat jimmy carter and won two terms of the president of the united states. just be careful what you wish for. right now they're seeing lot of the democratic supporters of president obama seem to be being a little bit cocky and suggesting that ryan selection opens up the door for them to good ahead to hammer away at mitt romney on some of these popular social spending issues. at the same time, i will say this. that the benefit of paul ryan is he is very intelligent, he is a good debate. >> and he will energize that republican base out there, especially those who have some doubts about mitt romney, how really -- was he really an effective conservative. and this is really going to bring out the vote. i think it's going to be a positive on that sense from the republican perspective. >> so we got the whole policy side here, as wolf has just laid out. but i'd like to bring gloria borger back in now. because there is also the uglier stuff, right? who is he, what has he done, what is in his closet, that kind of thing. the vetting process for the vice presidential po

jimmy carter has been a challenge for all of them. [laughter] i think it's probably because it's i carter's nature to be a my way or the highway kind of guy. he's also had another challenge. he left the office at the age of 56 or 57. in september, jimmy carter becomes the longest-living ex-president in american history. 31 years -- hang on. 31 years, eight months, three days surpassing herbert hoover's record. carter has worked very hard at his second career. when he got out of office, he was depressed for a year. he wasn't sure what to do. he was confused. i have a long life, this is going to be hard. but he writes some books, he starts doing charitable stuff, you know? he has done huge amounts of things at home and overseas in the last 31 years and eight months. he won the nobel prize, but he also has a way -- and all the presidents have turned to him, sent him on foreign missions of some kind. and he has normally delivered the goods, but he has a tendency to go off script.

this happened to jimmy carter in 1980. the media was much taken to him in 1986 but by but they moved to ted kennedy or necessity liked john anderson the middle of the road semi liberal independent who ran against both reagan and carter in november 1980. i think some of that is going on now. they recognize that the market, their market is not as entrenched with president obama as they were four years ago. they follow their market. they have to get viewers and get buyers. you know how that works. >> neil: absolutely. newsweek, i'm going explore more on this on fox business network, if you can't get readers praising the president you might as well attack him. it does come at a time where a number of publications are hedging their bets. we see a degree of more critical piece of the president. i still think it's disproportionate. what are we to glean from this if the media is getting kind of ancy about him? >> the big lesson is not 2008 anymore. the president in 2008 had about as easy a candidate has ever had it out he got out

except jimmy carter. and except this president. this president can ask us to be patient. this president can tell us it was someone else's fault. this president can tell us that the next four years he'll get it right. but this president cannot tell us that you are better off today than when he took office. america has been patient. americans have supported this president in good faith. but today, the time has come to turn the page. today the time has come for us to put the disappointments of the last four years behind us. to put aside the divisiveness and the recriminations. to forget about what might have been and to look ahead to what can be. now is the time to restore the promise of america. [cheers and applause] many americans have given up on this president but they haven't ever thought about giving up. not on themselves. not on each other. and not on america. what is needed in our country today is not complicated or profound. it doesn't take a special government commission to tell us what america needs. what america needs is jobs. lots of jobs.
