Political Hangover?

" President Obama may have been the one who went to -- Hagan but it's another president who some Democrats are blaming for Chicago's Olympics rejection. The reverend Jesse Jackson has become the latest prominent Democrat to say the US got snubbed. Because of international hard feelings left over from the bush era. Joining us now to look at these arguments are Bob Beckel professor prevents political studies at George Washington University. And Republican consultant Andrea ten -- thank you both for joining us. Thank you. So Bob the reverend Jesse Jackson says there must be resentment the way we refused to sign the Kyoto treaty had misled the world into Iraq. The world had a bad taste in its -- about us a year later do you really think that's why the US to get the Olympics."

" I gotta -- Jess Hilliard argues he'll drop when these things you know and -- these controversies could be the answer is no question that that of George Bush. Soured US relations around the world I believe in most of the people believe. And is also the question the Barack Obama's got a long way that repairing that damage. But I don't believe in the end it the Olympics were turned down because George Bush of and I. I don't rejection on that -- gave frankly -- it's counter intuitive you don't know she'd think that they were probably like to reward. Barack Obama for effort been giving Chicago but I can understand how much politics are involved in the in the International Olympic Committee so."

" And I don't I don't -- Andrea congressman township house -- Democrat from Illinois says the consul general told her that he heard. Quote there wasn't enough time for Barack Obama to dispel the old image do you buy that. A look I think this was Barack Obama's emperor has no clothes moment I mean clearly the guy should have gone over there only if he knew he had it locked up -- me he expended a lot of political capital. Going over there he thought he -- he bought into his own hype that he could with the Olympic Committee. It was a mistake 43% of Americans don't think he should have gone and look. Democrats are -- making a really they're making a fool of himself by continuously blaming things on George Bush when will this stop I mean. Day I heard Bob himself just a couple months ago sit at Barack Obama was the best economic president since Roosevelt. Our -- back to the Olympics thing -- Barnes says when an American president voluntarily takes up a fight and loses badly it's a big deal. We know the world loves Obama but this demonstrates that being loved is not the same as being influential or taken seriously or respected or feared what about that from Fred Barnes well I don't I don't buy."

" Look Fred but that threaten -- goes way up the market India -- about burned up a lot of political capital by going not getting his. Is actually at certain knowledge visionary about conservatives. They spent gleefully hours since this thing happen. Seeing now -- don't see what a bad thing to look for Obama attacking Obama took it passes there attack in the old country that -- gives -- the Olympics so. You know everytime I hear right wingers say that I'm not patriotic I would argue back this morning. They need it tomorrow right here about this but let's not out what I'm saying hey you -- be anti patriotic or not be patriotic he -- that this -- now -- all of America. Just like you guys gotta blame Obama for everything you -- that gets -- bombs fall you're right you don't got it every."

" Above what you yeah I don't know where I feel I had never had a friend George Bush is false -- Democrat the England prelates. Bob that's absolutely not true look when you opened up this segment you said that Obama has improved our standing in the world how -- like to know how he's been rudely rebuffed every time he goes overseas he asked for countries to take gitmo detainees he asked for money for a global stimulus any hasn't gotten. He asked for more troops in Afghanistan look this guy is not delivering he was supposed to change this is so if Obama is the one. Who can change our global view in the world then I guess he -- under that logic been able to."

" During the Olympics -- you don't -- united that you got it you know I can tell you gotta read earlier in the morning M Mondays. The fact of the matter is they've been four trillion dollar in stimulus money put together the Iranians last week agreed to send their nuclear weapon. Material to either France or Russia has been gigantic steps forward in seven months that George Bush did they get done in eight years I."

" That is your that is we're citing a ran continuously embarrassing is this country including Barack Obama Bob -- that what would you do about it. Well you would you invade anyone's day and evening but I'm not saying invade them I'm -- don't patronize them throughout the Republicans have nothing this I'm not saying apologized heavily for. Oil now no other effective what do you do about Iran. What do you tell you about -- what that's -- and arrogant and yeah -- said that it is a vote is a topic and I say this I didn't feel my leg hurt this morning it was Bush's fall again as. True and what he -- it's -- rain tomorrow it's going to be Bush's fault I broke -- heel on my way in here it's Bush's fault right Bob. Well not -- I didn't want to know flooded most of the last question I just wanna know when the Democrats when he isn't going to be. Barack Obama's administration what are the Democrats going to stop. Blaming President Bush Bob left what we clean -- once we clean up his message that they belong to -- Yet I haven't happily that there baba -- Andrea and Harrison thanks as always think."

" Yeah. Yeah I think it should -- could argue that a paper bag. And you don't I enjoy it actually 200 kind of what Bob."
