bush and to a lesser extent george w. bush took executive action. the republicans have made people against it because they've told them this is tyranny. >> we're suddenly powerful enough -- obama said this is tyranny, i'm not an emperor. >> he said it would be if he didn't change the law. >> the bottom line is he didn't do anything. i think these people are deserving of legislation. i think these are moms and dads of kids that go to schools and live in our towns. and i hope the republicans call his bluff and pass comprehensive immigration reform. call me another class of dreamers. i hope they someday will. george w. bush won 44% of the hispanic vote in 2004. mccain won about 26%. and at the time, he was for comprehensive. he, i think, has evolved on the issue and -- >> well, yeah, he said he'd vote against his own bill. that was a good one. that was a great moment. >> the republican party is on the wrong track on this. and one of president bush's advisers on this, i talked to her on my way over here. i said where do we go from here? she said republi

bush. his brand new book, 41, a portrait of my father. many books written about american presidents, but none from the unique perspective of the son himself, an eight-year occupant of the oval office. it's a love story written by a son who got a front row seat to history as his father shaped it, and the history himself. it's the huge amount of respect and admiration for his father who has led a truly remarkable life. george herbert walker bush was born in massachusetts and signed up for the navy 18 years later. he was one year into the relationship with barbara pierce. who would become his wife. he flew 58 combat missions in world war ii and awarded the distinguished flying cross after being shot down and plucked from the ocean. they went on to have six children, including the future president. he ran for office, becoming a member of congress before being ambassador to the united nations and director of the cia. after being vp to ronald reagan, he was the president himself. he was at the fo

bush 41. his dad, who somewhere beneath that banner is sitting or will be sitting in the front row alongside barbara bush. this is going to be a very touching day because this is the moment where a son, a president, salutes his father, a president, with a touching memoir about not only the professional accolades that his father has achieved but also the personal accolades as well. there's the cover of the book q. a portrait of my father" by george w. bush. by the way, we were just asking about it on the set. how old is george h.w. bush? he's 90. and he celebrated his 90th birthday in june by jumping out of a plane because every five years, that's just what he does. it's great to look back at these pictures. you can see an incredibly resemblance. but the incredible stories you never heard when either was in the white house, it's something else. and on this veterans day, those are two vets that are going to be up there. there's dad and baby. and so many years later, both have served their countr

barack obama voted for that bush bill, by the way but not enough republicans did even though the bush white house wrote the bill so it died and interestingly after that bill died, president bush move add head to implement some parts of what he had called for even though congress wouldn't approve it. he said in a statement in august 2006 "although the congress has not addressed our broken immigration system by passing xr legislation my administration will take every step to build upon the progress already made." that same day explaining what the bush president -- bush white house was doing without congress, the press secretary at the time explained "we're going as far as we possibly can without congress acting." so they did what they could by executive action after they couldn't move even republicans, people in their own party, in congress to support a bill to reform immigration. the bush white house, the george w. bush white house acted alone just as the other bush white house did as well and just as the reagan white house did as well on immigration, procedurally every recent presiden

bush is selling a book. and obama is selling what happened in the mid-term election and trying to put the best spin on it. i found the interview with obama very revealing. because he said, reach out to the other side. to persuade and sell t. you're going to reach out to the other side on something one of the things you want to do is listen. but we didn't hear that. and what we heard is the continuous obama line, i'm heading in the right direction. this is right. and no one knows better than obama that all these powers are shared with congress. and a "go it alone" approach is just not going to work. >> schieffer: david? >> i think we got a revealing example of why ex presidents tend to go up in popularity once they leave office. they can be more candid. they can be a little funnier, and they can talk about -- can show personality they're not pulled in to politics of washington and diminish everybody who comes here. once you're out of that, just more refreshing, more interesting. i think thought president obam

could a third bush win. >> oh i think a third bush could win and the reason it would have been maybe a negative if hillary clinton, oh, do we need another bush, too many in the family. as long as hillary clinton is hanging in there on her husband's coattails and we get another clinton yet again, she is trying. that is sort of ameliorates any of these problems that you might have with -- melissa: i don't know. mary ann are you buying that. >> jeb is a separate perso melissa: mary ann. >> well it take as clinton to beat a bush and clean up after one too. i like that matchup. reality is here, every time you talk to a bush family member they seem to be increasing odds. that does freeze the republican establishment fund-raisers and cuts in a little bit to romney until jeb bush makes his decision. >> by the way wasn't it a bush that cleanedded up after a clinton? that happened after 2,000. regardless i do not think -- >> obama cleaned up after that e. >> i do not think a third bush will work. jeb has problems, real problems. the tea party is not as strong as it used to be but he has proble

bush administration. that is, individual republicans running for congress tried to run away from that policy, and democrats were sure to tag them with it. so because the parties have such strong, as we say, brands -- that is, one democrat is now much more similar to another democrat in congress than, say, that was true 30 or 40 years ago -- it's become very difficult for politicians to individual wait themselves and separate themselves from the parties. >> host: so if you are a pro-choice republican or a pro-life democrat, where are you on the political spectrum? what happens -- [laughter] >> guest: right. you're pretty unusual, first of all. so, you know, we could probably have count on maybe two hands the number of politicians in congress that could be described that way. and one of the problems that those kinds of politicians face is in their parties' primaries. if you are seen as being unorthodox can, as you were saying, or as party loyalists would say unfaithful to the party's positions on these issu

>> along those lines, wayne, and no one knows the bushes more than you, jeb bush last year talked about his brother's legacy and whether there's voter fatigue over the name "bush." here's what he said. quote, i don't think there's any bush baggage at all. history will be kind to george w. bush, and he said, people will respect the resolve that my brother showed, both in defending the country and in the war in iraq. i mean, will it be a problem for jeb george w bush if he can't come to terms with the mistakes that his brother made, wayne? >> i think it will be. fundamentally, consider this, if jeb bush runs, backs the republican nominee, and hillary clinton is the democratic nominee, and we have dynasty versus dynasty, which of the dynasties in the american will, in the american opinion, which of those dynasties is in worse odor? the one that's worse is the bush legacy, because of the war, and because of that, it will be attached to jeb. and even if his older brother wants him to redeem the legacy by being elected and having america accept another bush, it's still going to be a problem.

bush. take a look at what his brother, former president george w. bush, had to say yesterday about jeb in 2016. >> there's a lot of speculation about him. i occasionally fuel the speculation by saying that i hope he runs. i think he'd be a very good president. i understand the decision making process pretty well. and i know that he's wrestling with the decision. >> moving on to the undefeated wisconsin governor scott walker, did he hint at a run for the white house when he said this on nbc yesterday? >> i said my plan was for four years. i've got a plan to keep going for the next four years. but, you know, certainly i care deeply about not only my state but my country. we'll see what the future holds. overall i believe governors make much better presidents than members of congress. >> lastly, dr. benjamin carson, the release of his documentary this weekend is fueling major speculation that he may be first in terms of being a 2016 gop candidate. now, i asked him that very question when he wa

bush lose on this? this is what the republican party became e became for this issue. >> the question is, if i were e lengted and congress were to pass the dream act, would i veto it? and the answer is jell. >> should there be aggressive, spe seek them out and find them and arrest them? you know what, i think they see a model here in az a. we hire a lawn company to mow our lawn. and they had illegal immigrants. when that was pointed out to us, we let them go. we said, look, you can't have any illegals running for office. i'm running for office, for peet's sake. >> you don't want to round them up and deport them, fwu you say they would have to go back to their own cow tris and apply for citizen ship. if you don't deport them, how do you send them home? >> the answer is self deportation. >> self deportation. that's the lags offering. self deportation. i'm running for office, for p t pete's sake. that's why president obama acted alone in signing some bill tonight. republicans really won't pass a bill on imm

bush. his brand new book "41, a portrait of my father." we're going to take a tour of the museum as the show continues. glad you're with us. mr. president, great to see you again. >> sean, thank you. >> you call the book a love story, a personal portrait of an extraordinary man you're blessed to call dad. >> yeah, it is a love story. i mean, you know, people pick up this book, buy this book they expect to read an objective analysis of george bush are going to be disappointed. those who really want to find out what he's like from a person who was president just like he was president who happens to be his son, then i think they're going to find an interesting book. >> your dad never wrote a personal memoir. >> right. >> was this for him for that reason? did you want to do it because you felt you wanted to -- >> well, there's a lot of reasons i wrote it. but yeah. i mean, i want people to -- first of all, he hadn't gotten a lot of attention. one reason is because he didn't write his own book. he's a modest, humble man. he's not a chest thumpe

rand paul at 15%; jeb bush, 12%. i don't think that is reflected in the conversation. >> no. >> and he's stronger than people think. mike huckaby at 12%. no other contender topped single digits. does that surprise you? >> if there is any surprise for me is that mr. bush, governor bush is only at 12% and seems to me he, in terms of the opportunity to the elect of presidency is the strongest candidate that the republicans have. i think he will show that over the next year or so. i am convinced -- >> with the modern party. >> and he can be an establishment party. >> too many people talking. >> jeb bush could be the establishment entry in the finals. >> crib bush? >> him or romney or christie. >> you have a name you dropped out there that is important, john. that is mike huckaby. the conservatives worried, they're enormously large in iowa. he's strong. the jewish vote is going to move and money is going to move toward the republicans because of the israeli situations. huckaby is strong with them and he's a conservative.

bush, clinton, bush, obama, clinton. the point is, you don't get to pick the environment in which you run. >> so that gets to your point about this built-in advantage that these families have as they decide, as jeb decides whether he wants to run. >> and i think the key thing will be for jeb, too, how much does he want it. he has seen what his family has gone through. he has seen the joy that his grandfather and father felt, indeed at 90. bush sr. said he wished his own grandchildren could have that joy of life that he has had all the time. he knows the glory, has seen the tough side of it. unless it's in your bones to run for president this day, it's really hard. john quincy adams, son of john adams, really wanted to go into art and literature but felt obliged by his family destiny to go into politics. it never really suited him. each person has to decide it in their own right. is this right for me? the country has to decide, yes, there is this dynasty factor but are hillary clinton and jeb bush the two people you most

bush is selling a book. and obama is selling what happened in the mid-term election and trying to put the best spin on it. i found the interview with obama very revealing. because he said, reach out to the other side. to persuade and sell t. you're going to reach out to the other side on something one of the things you want to do is listen. but we didn't hear that. and what we heard is the continuous obama line, i'm heading in the right direction. this is right. and no one knows better than obama that all these powers are shared with congress. and a "go it alone" approach is just not going to work. >> schieffer: david? >> i think we got a revealing example of why ex presidents tend to go up in popularity once they leave office. they can be more candid. they can be a little funnier and they can talk about -- can show personality they're not pulled in to politics of washington and diminish everybody who comes here. once you're out of that, just more refreshing, more interesting. i think thought president obama

i know you've got a close personal relationship with president bush, between this bush coming out and slew of interviews, will we see more of him in the public or is this a one-off? >> i think this is probably about the book and the president's personal life. one thing i'll tell you, if you've ever worked for the bushes, and there's a multitude out there that have done it, but you'll find out they're the most loyal, fiercely competitive bunch you've ever seen. with that being said, the president has made his decision, president bush 41 made his decision, 43 made his decision to not interject himself in campaigns and elections like president clinton has. that's his choice. we wish he would be more forthright in coming out with us and helping us, but if his brother gets in, you'll see both 41 and 43 out there and i tell you, they are the most competitive bunch and loyal you've ever seen. but the 2004 coalition that elected president bush 43 is out there in the political universe, so it will be interesting but they're a fine family and wonderful public servants. >> what kind of fund-rais

it includes president bush joking around about the missing ladyus as well as first laura bush. this is the clip. >> does weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere.

bush, governor bush is only at 12%. it seems to me he -- in terms of the opportunity to win the election of presidency is the strongest candidate that's a republican. i think he'll show that over the next year or so. >> that's the modern republican party. >> too many people talking. go ahead. >> listen, jeb bush could well be the establishment entry in the finals. he could well be. him or romney or christie, but you have a name you just dropped out there that's important, john. and that's mike huckabee. now, the social conservatives were ignored in the last election. they're enormously large in iowa. the jewish money is going to move. huckabee is very strong with these folks, very strong with the evangelicals. he's a conservative. >> is huckabee wrestling with the decision. >> i think he's looking toward it. >> yeah. >> you've seen groups get together. >> have you seen him speak to the subject. >> he took a trip over to poland and the three is. >> like romney did. >> ireland, italy, and israel. that's what they used to

kelly bush, and george w. bush. his book "when things went right" is drawn from his diary of the first years of the reagan administration. so please help me give an answer to our to authors, and we will get started. [applause] jonathan, since your book chronologically comes before chases i will ask you a twofold question. number one is, how did you find covering the campaign of 1964 in historical time after you have covered in real time the campaign of 2004 and 2008. that is part one. part two is, how do you perceive that politics changed in that 40 year time frame? >> thank you. i am happy to be here. the weather is not quite this nice in most places that have been talking about the book this fall, and i have not had need of the charlie crist fan, which i wish we had today under the table. [laughter] that aside, i am happy to be here. it is a great question. i would say that stepping back from present-day political reporting to look at the 1964 campaign has on the boast -- has on the most basic level made me see po

bush and george h.w. bush's great humility that he wouldn't allow an election to intercede in what is a unique friendship. i think it's remarkable and an amazing story. [ applause ] >> has that friendship spilled over to you? >> yeah. >> that's president george w. bush talking about his legacy in that discussion. we will bring you any interesting news. the interesting thing happening live right this moment. here in the spnt day they have tough news to contend with, predicting by the end of 2015, obamacare enrollment will be about 30% lower than initially projected. that is all over the headlines across the country. leading with lower forecasts for health plans. the philly inquirer, change of hikes. the tampa bay times said it's time to explore health options. another controversy obamacare is mired in comes from an unexpected source. one of the laws, architects. mit economists emerged over the weekend. the viral furor surrounding it is brand-new. take a look at this. >> this bill was written in a tortured

the bush team. biblical scientist not interested in -- the political scientists not interested in this topic, actually used reagan transition as an example of a particularly vicious one. some scholars say bush fired everybody. i was very surprised to see what documents that referred to mush whobrain reaganites, people had given into all kinds of phrases, saying it is good grown-ups are back in charge. the practice of annual summits come to an end. not a traditional cold war year. we just had that anniversary and that was observed in china with silence as people tried to commemorate in their homes. 1989 looks very different in china as it does in europe. i would ask you to bear this in mind. europe the cold war in ended peacefully. people at the time did not know this. as the events unfolded, the images on the minds of protesters and demonstrators were the images from the square, that lone figure standing in front of the tanks, using bloodshed to disband its hold on power. try to keep that image on -

, bush/obama, bush troubles him speaking to his great integrity. i said how does this sound? bush, clinton, bush, obama, clinton. >> clinton calls him w. he calls him bubba. if this family matchup happens, game on. bush gives it about a 50/50 chance that jeb will actually decide to run. erin? >> he will have to put his brother out there with his humor. i think people saw a really wonderful side of him. thank you so much, suzanne. >>> president obama, not a baby boomer president. looking dapper in his star trek tunic at the apec summit. vladimir putin didn't look as good in his shirt. he looks better with it off. jeanne moos on what's being called the chew and flirt summit. getting in a groove. growth is gratifying. goal is to grow. gotta get greater growth. i just talked to ups. they got expert advise, special discounts, new technologies. like smart pick ups. they'll only show up when you print a label and it's automatic. we save time and money. time? money? time and money. awesome. awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome! (all) awesome! i love logistic

bush started these wars. got to be fair about that. >> the victory -- >> going to run against appealing obamacare. >> coming up, thank you guys. rush limbaugh threatening to sue the democratic party and the dccc in particular. find out why, his lawyer will join us exclusively. that's coming up next. hard it can be...how ...to breathe with copd? it can feel like this. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled... ...copd maintenance treatment... ...that helps open my airways for a full 24 hours. you know, spiriva helps me breathe easier. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells,... you can get hives, vision changes

, clinton y bush hijo... wait for nats juanfra/topnats --- "vamos a luchar con uÑas y dientes contra el presidente si contina por este camino" estas fueron las palabras del lder de la cmara de representantes, john boehner ante la inminente accin ejecutiva en materia migratoria --- --- el senador republicano asegur que trabajar con sus colegas en el congreso para formular algn tipo de respuesta advierten al presidente que si acta de forma unilateral, ser demandado --- --- as lo asegur "rick perry" gobernador de texas en una intervencin en la asociacin de gobernadores republicanos, a este llamado se sumaron el gobernador de wisconsin, "scott walker" y "bobby jindal" de lousisiana --- --- por su parte, el senador republicano "tom coburn" asegura que la medida es una accin muy grave que puede llevar el "pas a la anarqua, incluso a la violencia" --- juanfra por supuesto que este es un tema que tiene muchas ms preguntas que respuestas... y para que nos aclare muchas de las dudas que todos podamos tener se encuentr

in other words that bush of justice department u.s. attorney's office according to my sources saw this as potentially perilous because the guns had been -- i do want to bring the cases to trial. it was a smaller operation and one of the same officials was working out of the phoenix office under bush and obama when this happened. both programs happened under the two administrations in them and president obama came into office they were looking for gun cases to bring and they pick that one up and started to be prosecuted. the process learned that the guns had been wanted in this inappropriate fashion. there were internal members that showed they were talking about gun walking and how the public understand if this comes to light. so yes there was an element in the bush administration which i reported. think what was interesting about that is i had a manager who was on my side who thought fast and furious should be getting more attention. he advised me whenever you try to pitch the stories mention the bush connection every time and maybe t

>> i think reagan along with both bushes. i'm very high on the bushes. >> why? >> easy to be with. i just called george w. bush within the past month to wish him well. he called me back a week later. i'm glad -- i should have told some folks i had called him because normally, one time, the senior bush, sonny montgomery. you remember sonny montgomery. >> democrat of mississippi. >> long-time democrat of mississippi, good friend of the bushes. he said to me one day, you called the president after the defeat. you need to call him. and i did, sonny gave me the number. i called him that day. voice message. left my name and number. didn't tell the staff what i had done. the next day, george bush calls our office. i don't recall back who answered the phone. kimberly, i believe. i think it was our front receptionist out front. she said, sure, you're george bush, and hung the phone up. the administrative assistant called and mrs. bush picked up the phone and he hung up the phone. you always need to tell your staff what you've done to avoid unpleasant surprises. but i'd say -- i'd go with ne

bush said kurds need to arrive. the amazing thing is they suffered betrayals, they're still a people very much turned toward democracy, turned toward the u.s. and turned toward other partner in the middle east, that's israel. >> there's a huge desire for kurdish independence. do you think we'll see kurdistan as its own nation? >> i think we will. that's not the pressing issue. it's isis and battle on the ground and whether the west will support the kurds. yes, i believe that will be good for the kurds. it will be good for the middle east and something the u.s. ought to support. >> folks i have spoken to in foreign policy community say the kurds are a wonderful ally of the united states. if we were to lend support to independent kurdistan it could complicate our relationships not only with turkey but also the current coalition government in iraq or the current government in iraq. what do you say to that? how can the u.s. walk that line and still come out okay in the region with an independent kurdistan? >> well, this

if bush runs, he's deftly not going to run. do you think he wants bush to run and doesn't wanted to be an option for him? or is there some partisan that hopes bush doesn't run and that he can put himself in the fray and you save your? >> romney is not actively encouraging bush to get in. romney would be fine if he runs. what i keep hearing from those who've known him for decades is that he's bored by the idea of retirement and that he wants to be on the trail as much as possible. this is a guy who wants to be in the arena. i'd him think he's angling to run, but he wants to be in the position for some kind of draft. they think maybe it could happen again. >> you talked to dad divine into bernie sanders. cad devine says he will work for bernie sanders if he decides to run. how did that marriage come about? >> sanders and tad devine go back decades. he was helping him the senate race in the 2000. this is a close relationship. they are friends as well as sanders being a client for divine. and he's what a lot of independent campaign

the bushes are out there helping republicans. jeb bush is considering a 2016 presidential run has been helping dozens of republican candidates. his mother, barbara bush, has cut an ad for paul le page. >> paul is blunt, direct, like me, on november 4th vote for paul le page for governor. he's moving maine in the right direction. >> and if elected he would be the first openly gay candidate to win a gubernatorial race. as michael mentioned eliott cutler could play spoiler, but he just told supporters to choose between le page. >> i don't think that any voter whether a supporter of mine or not now needs or ever has needed my permission or my blessing to vote for one of my opponents. >> from the progress mattic politics of maine to the cutthroat politics of florida where the race for governor there is the most expensive and nastiest gubernatorial race this year. rick scott attacked his democratic opponent charlie crist for accepting $90,000 from strip clubs, featuring images of a prostitute. >> i call on you to return that money if f

bush when we were failing there. now, it's time for us to sit down and develop a strategy and work together in a bipartisan fashion. first is the request for $5.6 billion the president is going to make to pursue the isis strategy. the american people do deserve to know what the strategy is. >> and congress to debate it. >> exactly. >> six hours. six hours on one of the most existential threats to the middle east and all our allies. i know you agree with me. let's sell some of these books -- >> deserves to be sold. there are some truly compelling stories in senator mccain's latest book. i want to focus on one we were talking about earlier i just read the chapter on. monica lynn brown. tell us about her. >> she is a medic highly trained. in the civil war i believe it was 20% of those wounded survived. now, 90% of those wounded survived mainly because of the capabilities of the first ones there to treat the wounded. monica was the classic example of that. she was highly trained, skilled, had on her the necessary things

in fact you say it's not bush fever, it might be bush fatigue. so that's something to watch in the next couple of months as this field takes shape. >>> anyway, one of america's favorite or at least favorite thanksgiving traditions appears to be catching on around the globe. we'll tell you what it is. that's next. my frequent heartbu. because it gives me... zero heartburn! prilosec otc. the number 1 doctor-recommended frequent heartburn medicine for 9 straight years. one pill each morning. 24 hours. zero heartburn. ring ring!... progresso! it's ok that your soup tastes like my homemade. it's our slow simmered vegetables and tender white meat chicken. apology accepted. i'm watching you soup people. make it progresso or make it yourself americans drink 48 billion that's enough plastic bottles to stretch around the earth 230 times. each brita filter can replace 300 of those. clean. clear. brita water. nothing is better. i was pretty stunned myself. removes fourteen years of stains. see? crest whitestrips work on a deeper level than paste. whitening t
