Level where theres constant tension. >> there werent enough resources because government doesnt have the kind of resources private sector had. >> the other thing is we saw this in game change and double down, this president likes to rely on a very small group of people. hes not big on trust. kathleen sebelius has been as empowered as any domestic secretary has been. yet my guess is there were a lot of decisions that needed to be made with a lot of juice at the highest level and they are not beca...

Speculation in "double down" where authors report the obama campaign considers swapping joe biden out for hillary clinton on the 2012 presidential ticket. >> here is the one thing i can say for certain, that, if they had asked me, i would have said there is no way im not running again with joe biden. i genuinely believe he has been one of the best vice presidents in our history. he also happens to be a friend. he happens to be one of my most important advisers on domestic and foreign policy. i l...

Possibility thats discussed of swapping out joe biden. >> with all due respect to the president, i think we saw his nose growing a little bit when he new absolutely nothing anybody was discussing this. do i think he heard chatter people said we might be doing some polling to swap him with hillary, yeah. >> but that is possible that the president may be shielded from that discussion? >> look, this is deja vu all over again. lets not forget president bush said at one point he was considering possi...

>> i think this is like chapter two or three of a long book. this will unfold. the thing is, as it gets implemented more, more things come out. this was a big complicated piece of legislation pushed through way too fast and implemented too fast. for example, were there people uninsured? yes. with policies that were worthless? absolutely. those people will be better off. the vast majority had health insurance and they were happy with them. what happens when a lot of them, particularly for example...

What in the inner circle sort of went wrong. from the book you have this moment where you describe president obama confronting his staff after weeks and the sense of sort of personal -- that they had personally let the president down. id love for you to elaborate on this. ill read the excerpt from the book. when we started having these meetings, obama said, i told you that i trusted everyone in the room. but now somebody has betrayed that trust. unless and until the person who did this comes to ...

To calculus, trigonometry, finance. you can really just get what you need at your own pace. and so, bank of america came and reached out to us and said, "we are really interested in making sure that everyone really understands personal finance." were like, "well, were already doing that." and so it was kind of a perfect match. >> now to more of my interview with the president. one of the biggest bombshells on the book double down was the discloser that the obama campaign team did conduct polling...

When that happened for president bush, the katrina problems happened. at the same time the american people gave up on his ability to confidently execute the iraq war. not just opposition to the policy. they gave up on hoist competence to administer the policy in iraq. and the second material for president bush disappeared at that point. there was nothing else he could get done. we reached a pivot. president obama is not there but he is dangerously at that point. if you talk to democrats, i ran i...

Welcome back to "the ed show." president obama once said, i am not the president of black america, i am the president of all america. hmmm. his relationship with the black community has always been a complicated one. and revelations from mark halperin and john heilemanns latest book about the 2012 election probably wont help. a passage in "double down," the duo follow up to their 2008 book "game change" puts it simply. obama had little patience for the professional left and vanishingly close to ...
