now without a c_-five insists of the see a fellow and director of american
strategy program at the new america foundation seasonal program before this
time he's writing about
of a political assassination of great credibility strong words
sti welcome back to re-enter exactly alright good to have you here
uh... steve of greg greg with the white house counsel each step down
why do you think he did
let's start not generate finally subletter
of presentation
which which you know which is what makes it not even if it even more intriguing
story that it would otherwise be it
uh... it still might not help when it will be tribune of the year sorry giving
up next year
i think the key stepping down at parker or
uh... a couple of reasons i think that you know there may be
uh... bottom-line reason is whatever at whatever in his portfolio
to dismantle rock obama so much on so many different folks in the campaign
has become a lot to support the president
but the week got express is one of the most disgusting
you don't have difficulty from domino palmetto trees familiar extra bush
administration
but the
thing is that you know heating bills are paid up try for it to be up
uh...
the patient get my word that closing like contradiction
facility
in in the one-year timeline that the administration had promised
and people can dictate whether that
it legitimately legitimately great craic
responsibility and british people want to be accountable for that are not or
without became a lever
so that rama manuel others could dislodge someone
that they felt opm
you know what the power sector separate from apso
uh... i think that there was more powerfully treat it has to do with with
gregor correct leaving the white house
they have been the subject of development debatable point
it looked when you look at the substance of why he was basically let go okay so
they didn't make their one year
uh... deadline but the you know the republicans had a great job of
demagoguing on that issue now you can say that's greg cranks politician of
prepared for that in advance and set of setup but
you look at the treasury department and their filter
room with failure
and
certainly
exactly so pic like waking dealing with the question
and i think he was right on track
with the question of how do you do to protect yourself of people
dot you know it it's cheney struck by christians
how did you bring them back and create on reaction to the american legal system
anti-black and predict system
it community fit what these people
people who were interested in it will be released at the respect of the trying to
get their workers if they're going to be
and honored that you know i question the ball
though that the country at the time if the campaign largely supportive of
getting exploded
and doing whatever it could get picked up and it'll be cool
auditory that the lapd administration had created
if i could quickly normative po credit
we're looking at each and every one of these cases in a way in which the critic
the delaware
but the backlash came from the political factor
even from democrats communities
it wasn't necessary to take these people can
and at that point rama manuel and the president united states with all due
respect approach in the palm of my like a great deal
what absent they were awol if not you're cheap loggers jobs to be tightened
seduces convert behave responsibly and asked allegedly why don't believe you
know
in the foreground via these claims about having but did not
is not a politician is the lawyer associate was this is the heart of the
sutton around here we're talking to sequences numerical sounded since things
obviously for some overboard i'm not happy scotsman okay so frank the
question is
why and who and and then there's a third question awhile bomb allowed red
of what was it about greg craig they did not sit well with the other power
centers in the white house
great cricket guy
i think that my own speculation
quick recovery got it with the campaign
brought the kennedy franchise to obama he worked the fellow who make a deal
happen with her kennedy he had a lot of coffee pot powertrain
cite the coast inner circle
of obama land because of that
number two
what is not known publicly twenty people
if if iraq obama greg required with the only true people among all of a central
part of the obama campaign
who crafted temple beat invade deep political strength saying we're going to
gauge
dot guide as well as the current in the world so we'll probably thinking about
you know the statement in contrasting himself with hillary clinton for
politics right
you know without preconditions on the ahmadinejad army castro army
kim jong il g_o_p_ we've got to deal with
problems in the world not wala ka pa
the architect of that was gregory crack at the current project we would be run
herewith electoral support
for that message and you know despite depart excellent book on the campaign
that's our paper took a picture
that complete not really but i think the degree
that element as well
when gregory click a man and the reason why you thought of if one party world
that you wrote some
very negative bottom pieces about hillary clinton
he was a passionate opponent of hillary clinton at the time of the great a
campaign
edison residue of ill will
over over that
so you know talking laughing playing hardball
during the campaign to get the political climate a person who will look back
but the bottom line what i think the mustard thing is
became rahm emanuel critic capable
uh...
just after the white house
nonetheless
him you don't have a lot of and and
you know uh...
somehow dash or in some ways dot joke helped make it easy to forget
login in richard wolf book renegade which will be in fact archive your
partner trish beckman illinois akito pickup if you want to export valerie
jarrett that because she was very close to obama
so people who are very close to obama
rahm emanuel who thought the particularly close to pam trying to sort
the slots for that and i think we're quite as one of the so in my view
whoever let those week i'm i'm one who agrees with nina totenberg n_p_r_
that they fit robin
with the only one who could have gotten away with this
and it went to the question of of oval bobbit's complicity himself and it kind
of set you know x_-ray picture to change the team
but you know it is what it is
so but i guess is again to the hardest thing here's a list of overheard zero
bombing because yes of course an opportunity to do is to be rahm emanuel
pushed them out
but purple pink right look in the *** from what i've read that is also my
estimation and again hit is a little bit of speculation we don't know for a fact
that i want to make that clear the audience aspect that we see rob a manual
doing this over and over a deal with the pushing for the trigger and health care
reform in the list goes on and on but always you come back to the question of
yeh that's all fine and good but
what is a wild well i'll amusement
is not a dumb guy it's not like he's bush again led around by cheney does
know what the hell's going on
so what so bombers motivation
well it's is something i think it's a real mystery very strange staying
featuring the campaign
depart
their northstar which serious public policy
barrymore stark
what we know
p whole rule you know with with with which he writes about her
but they were not good enough the
they would not have the blinking at by the campaign navigated the government
but they actually have power and responsibility and these kinds of school
minuscule stepped in schools
you know theater
and you we've got to talk about registration yesterday tuesday
about you know how to stroke he was bite biamby cut out the crystal report
akal converge report on afghanistan
and that he said that these were firing offensive
how do you actually go about doing that
where people at the highest level of the white house arguing that the standard
fare because i think it's real problem in the other thing about mom
you know who's who don't know definitely street fighter jets very capable with
brilliant in many ways under certain they can't do it margaret rahm
but he seems to be pretty darn good undermining democrat
and i have peanut arriving many republicans
answer to some degree
has been treated being created has been created around in inside a white house
that was supposed to bring a very different kind of politics to washington
and at when you look at the click click update real life
well that looked at that ulcer puncture
yet you know everything we lucy points that the size of your mentioning okay
but it does not address the question of what this goes through or bombers head
because widely pick you know so what ron manuals about when he picked them i said
of
and we all know what a rather manuals about and he always traditions will be
tough it cetera i never seem to be tougher with republican i like is always
tough on democrats i_v_ drip and i think i think maybe speculate fit on one hand
opa
water to keep it could come up
you thing
felt he needed at that cop
someone who is going to be able to iraq had a reputation quite different top
daschle who would never be contender for the job
upstaging tougher at the edges
someone who could lucrative uh...
optical really ramping then and an end to end up
result but i think that would be pressured report what i have
philpott felt confident self-confident yet
what so many different jobs and policy issues
x he felt that
that he needed to us
someone who had political practical politics pe returns the whole fuel
much better than a bomb it
at what he thought you were getting out
it sort of a harsher current that it would have been taught daschle by
collecting on the network says you know i just noticed isolating but i think
that you know i'd probably have to face
what results about the liver safety other *** see the other thing great in
our society at large they agree with your suwanee select around the first
place but
you know filing and limited time we have
now that we seen this in action right
and prom it and every from seems to be
pushing him
to accept the reality of washington okay but you know we can't get it down we can
get a public option that we can get this done you have to accept that the
republican a fight you on this the efficacy
significance is that
now the scene
that and
that it's not that toughness that gets the job done rather this concession
african session
uh... and i'll put in for real change
why is he still accepting it why she still letting rama men who run the show
stupid question i just don't have a particular for are
the night before the inauguration i rented a rama manuel reporter
congratulated him should not copy car
nearly significant of all we're going to be perfected copy optics of thing
at we work beautifully beautifully constructed if they've been taught that
because they're so many constraint that obama
hit on that
national security and the economic portfolios the bush administration as
you can sort of
narrative
belt fully subscribe to i think you know president president they've got a lot of
no i don't i don't buy the fact that he had had enough time most president for
the first year
hate most of the major benefit call
and and at the time degree if you have a you know it
gary tuchman ago ant
i think that that's one of the reasons why he thought them at your end
but why didn't he changing the kenya and he's changing people who work
high-quality at at at at what delivering and did structurally for both his
campaign and i think for the country too
mean i have to give
great crisis and portion your commitments that you know pour water on
order
opa marketing the nobel peace prize
changing the way the rest of the world looked it up and giving them a hope and
expectation
and changing and that kind of optical character
enormously cute accomplishment
but the guy without the quick cryptic
so you know when you
see him expelled in the manner in which he had such district
spectacle
gross unseated by all manner
if you do you want a state where his the proper bottle we all thought we were
getting atwood had turned up it doesn't fit
exceeded in a campaign a couple of times david popular rock
i'm not like i i don't want to be in the gutter and i don't want to my people the
better heat not making those calls like that
you know hopefully he will we had about thirty seconds left you said there the
devil orca manual told you the weakness his optics but not really the substance
to but that he didn't want to keep
separate substantive issues
we're so hard to get you in the constraints ohio
so it could be kidding
they could not block that has all the could basically said all he could really
effectively topics
what they've been struck almost warmer summer or in the first year with the
content of the casual cocktail party discussion but
uh... unitary interesting
comment to make and you know get an attack like a lot of for politics but
street fights
i like to be equipped with that on the front because it was so much doubted
cynicism
and real dislike about united states the changing the posture
of obama pair that that's what they did it
at what we're trying to save the date that they have been able to get the
stuff dipping but jackie dictate optics picked up the work here
steve clemons from the new america foundation thanks so much for your mesra
lucrative pleasure
youngster if you like this clip you look
or show you can watch that at the intersection
