first up, barack obama won the white house as the insurgent. now he's the incumbent. he ran on the audacity of hope. where there was hope, there are now points on the scoreboard. audacity's been replaced by what, wisdom? "60 minutes" correspondent steve crop asked the president about the change. >> you ran as somebody who was going to come to washington and change it and in the end, as some of your predecessors, they've ended up changing you. >> i think it's fair to say it hasn't changed me in terms of my ideals, you know when you're campaigning. i think you're liberated to say things without thinking about ok, how am i going to actually practically implement this. >> do you think you were naive? >> no, i don't think i was naive. i just think these things are hard to do. chris: bob, you wrote a lot of inside books on our recent president, get to know him. what is the before and after with this guy? how did he change when he ran and now, how you covered him? >> we're going to spend the next two years decoding obama and there are going to be all kinds of views on this.

(laughter) and my guest janney scott wrote a book about barack obama's mother. i guess her own mom must be really boring. (laughter) "spider-man" the musical finally reopens. just in time to save new york's struggling hospitals. (laughter) this is "the colbert report." captioning sponsored by comedy central ( theme song playing ) ( cheers and applause ) (crowd chanting "stephen") (cheers and applause) >> stephen: thank you very much. welcome to the "report," everybody. please. thank you for joining us. nation, last night all eyes were on new hampshire for the very first second republican debate. (laughter) and the candidates wasted in time establishing their pro-family credentials. >> i'm tim pawlenty, i'm a husband. my wife mary and i have been married for 23 years. i'm the father of two beautiful daughters. >> kara and i have r the parents of seven children. >> i've had five children and we are the proud foster parents of 23 great children. >> i delivered babies for a living. delivered 4,000 babies. (laughter) >> stephen: folks, i'm confident these candidates

a good candidate could make a very credible run against barack obama. we are in a country of 350 million americans. why is it the republicans can't find somebody who can give barack obama a run for his money? >> jeb bush, caris & company at this, mitch -- chris christie, mitch romney. that americans like two-term presidents and the republican issues aren't great and even though the economy is bad and mitt romney said he's failed the american public, they not only spare some of the blame for this as well. and so it's not a great year to be a republican, either. this isn't setting up as a great g.o.p. year. >> barack obama will raise $1 billion. we're going to spend what on this election? going to cost america like $2 billion? >> probably close to that. >> why not call it off and put that money somewhere else? >> this is what the british do. they do this in six weeks. isn't that your style? >> $85 million. >> if it can be done big, americans will do it big. and elections are really no different. i think the other thing is that all of our elections in rece

independents who have had it up to here with barack obama. and it's made of libertarians and people that were never political in their life, and the republicans are already there. already there. that's the tea party movement! they should be afraid of this movement. because it was the verb and the vibrancy of the 2010 election, and let me tell you, that movement has more steam and power and energy today, than it had in 2010. get ready 2012. the tea party will be bigger than ever! because the tea party and all of america has one goal. and it's this, that barack obama will be a one-term president! now the second thing that we are reminded of in the debate earlier this week. that the race will really be all about jobs and the economy. we understand that this president hasn't done such a good job on that. because here we are, two weeks, two years into the recovery. we are two years into the recovery. under ronald reagan, we were literally hundreds of thousands of jobs in a month. under ronald reagan's recovery. and instead now we are in the obama

so you know what side is barack obama on? i mean, i think, you know, well he can't do it yet, i mean this is a guy who has made his name as a conscience driven politician, we if he is a nscience driven politician, let'see what he thinks. i think he can do it now, i mean, you cut me off before i finished, i think he can do it now and make the argument, you can make the argument when he ran for president in 2008, as a black guy running for president like coming out in favor of ga marriage that would be like, but i think he can do it now, i don't understand what he is doing how, it seems andw cuomo and he has tons, beyond what he lievesand he doesn't have t deal with the cynical, i think the a polled den issue for him to come out and gr it, i don't thini know what he is doing. i don'think most people do. >> maybe it is about leadership. or lack thereof. >> yes, ofnlg, of course. he said he had an evolving attitude about same sex marriage. >> that was a couple of months ago. he is signalling he was moving on the issue, and, again

barack obama is my candidate. i am very enthusiastic about barack obama. people do not realize, the stuff that he put through. we would be better off but the party of "no" kill that. host: who do you like today? caller: rick perry. i am a christian voters. he is going to stand up for what is right. i cannot vote for barack obama because of his stand on abortion. abortion is premeditated murder. people voting for him are voting for premeditated murder. rick perry, he stands up for god. american can do the same thing if we stand up for god and turn away from abortion and gay marriage. this nation will turn around. god owns you me and everybody. he owns us. he can turn this nation around. i appreciate you taking my call. host: from the hill, obama reelection campaign takes over twitter and facebook. it will be run by staff by his reelection campaign. they announced friday that the president will post regularly. "why make the change? as the president said, he is focused on doing the job we elected him to do. he is counting on all of us to leave this organizati

barack obama has failed america. [applause] >> so mitt romney it asks us to believe he is the man to save america. a single poll asks for a single word to describe the republican field, and the word chosen most was "unimpressed." this is not encouraging for mitt romney, mark. >> the person who does emerge from this crucible, whoever he or she is, the american people have a history of saying, "ok, this is a serious person." that lies ahead. right now, obviously, little enthusiasm. that will be overcome. >> colby? >> he had an interesting reception in new hampshire. he ended up on page 3 of "the manchester union leader." page 1 had sarah palin. he talks about being the kind of candidate who can create jobs in massachusetts. massachusetts was 47 out of the city-state's as far as job creation was -- 47 out of the 50 states as far as job creation was concerned. >> nina? >> romney has done this before, he has a good team he has assembled, and he cannot do better than that for his introduction? palin -- everything is framed

the election is going to be on barack obama. who else is -- who the republicans put up there is almost irrelevant. unless they put a crazy up there. and then people will vote for obama anyway. but this is -- every presidential election is a referendum on the administration currently in power. there are no exceptions to that. and so right now people will be judging barack obama. i still think in the end he wins. i still think in the end -- >> i would just throw one spanner in the works. it appears at the moment he's likely to win.

barack obama is running up support for his decision to withdraw a large part of the u.s. garrison from afghanistan front says it's also prepared to pull all of its forces out but the news comes amid warnings from military commanders that progress against the taliban is fragile and reversible there's also concern that less soldiers will not collateral damage. has more in this. let's that was numbers there around one hundred thousand american troops deployed to afghanistan right now thirty thousand of them were added by president obama two years ago and now he says by the end of next year one of those thirty thousand troops the drawdown will start this year with some ten thousand troops expected to be withdrawn by december many analysts say it's not a groundbreaking move from a strategic point of view after all he is pulling out what he added at the beginning of his presidency but ahead of presidential elections coming up next year it might be a face saving week he promised the withdrawals from start this year and he had to deliver the bigger question is what results has he

not my words, but barack obama's words. "necessarily skyrocket." why would you try to push a cap- and-trade tax through to drive up the cost of electricity? because they believe it will mean we'll use less electricity. there will be less emissions. i don't back off from that one iota. it is hurting the economy. energy is 100% of the economy. energy is the life blood of the economy. they've tried to raise the price of oil. they've tried to raise taxes. they've tried to raise the price of coal, make it harder to get permits. i don't think there's any question that this is the policy of this administration. >> schieffer: all right. it's been a very busy week in politics. mitt romney made it official, he is running. sarah palin got a lot of attention. i'm not sure anybody about sarah palin knows exactly what it is that she's up to. but, governor, a pew research "washington post" poll had some fairly stunning findings. i want to run these by you. when republicans-- not just voters in general, but when republicans-- were asked what word they would use to

first, to place barack obama himself in the history of late 20th century intellectual development in the united states. what hasn't been done. he was not a creature of history. second, his use of american history. when he writes about the constitution and anti-slavery and civil war and the progress of reform movement and the new deal and franklin roosevelt very ambitious plans for the second deliberates at the end of the second world war, he writes as an insider somebody who has spent a lot of time thinking about american history that distinguishes him from people from american politics and it does seem to me that there was something to be said for looking critically and carefully at the use he makes of history when making arguments as a partisan elected politician. part of what interested me to talk to his teachers and people who had worked with him is how uniformly they confirmed to my sense this is someone from the time he was first a freshman in college took seriously the relation between ideas and political action. he has said many times the most important course his he took was

presidents before barack obama. specifically on libya, they are arguing over the war powers resolution, which sets a total time clock of 90 days for the president to seek authorization from congress for military action. 90 days will be up on sunday. but barack obama is essentially arguing the resolution does not apply in this case because he says what america is doing in libya does not amount to hostilities and warfare in the classic sense. he argues no american boots are on the ground. american soldiers are not exchanging fire with libyans. the u.s. is simply providing logistical support at this stage. the republican leadership is calling that pre-emptive. there are lawyers attempting to take barack obama to court over this issue. my instinct is he will push ahead. nothing will change on sunday. america will stay involved with libya. but the president will have an uncomfortable i on the pulse. more americans are opposed to this conflict now than in favor of it. what barack obama is deeply hoping is that sooner or l

are considering deferring to barack obama on the economy on the whole of this fiscal policy i mean i doubt very much that the end of the day they'll do that but frankly if they choose to my sense is that barack obama then will face his own test and that is because he choose to govern in the way that franklin roosevelt or lyndon johnson would have well the amazing thing is that this might open up that opportunity for i think frankly he had that opportunity the first six months of his presidency he did not use it and then the moment was gone the political capital was gone and it probably won't reappear until after he's reelected assuming he is or if this kind of crisis they argue about how there is a there's a historical reference point here a gentleman named bill clinton when when they got into that shutdown the government moment bill clinton won that fight and it actually gave him quite a bit of space for a number of months i'm not going to suggest that he used it as well as as i would like him to use i pushed. after. the acid moments come and a president either seizes them or he bec

to have a troop drawdown and again there are several things that president barack obama has to look at issue is you know the speech last night he talked about the drawdown about thirty thousand in all and obviously the troops on the ground out by twenty fourteen remember he's also running for reelection so there's an issue of not only the safety of u.s. combat troops there there's also the point of is being reelected in two thousand and twelve and the overall issue of money being spent there so there's about three things that he's had to deal with in the downswing this drawdown but the u.s. will still have nearly seventy seventy thousand troops there in afghanistan after this good on the twenty forty. pulling back the combat troops that you just mentioned we sent in two years ago i mean is this really a pullout can it be described as a complete pull out. well let's look at the history of america. in most countries that they've had some kind of conflict in or some interest in world war two. ended we're still in or the united states is still in germany. states are still in korea unite

barack obama has failed america. you know, if you want to create jobs, it helps to have actually had a job. and i have. >> he excoriated all things obama, foreign and domestic, including the president's health care plan, not unlike the one romney signed as governor of massachusetts, an uncomfortable similarity he tossed off in a single line. >> not perfect, but it was a state solution to our state's problem. >> reporter: from hey bales to hot dogs, the trappings were pure americana. on the banner beneath his name, the words believe in america. >> president obama's european answers are not the solution to america's challenges. >> his economy centric bid comes amidst headlines of home prices dipping downward again, a stubborn jobless rate. good timing for an opposition launch or maybe not so much. look who else was in the neighborhood playing rough with a swing at the massachusetts health care plan. >> health care plan in my opinion any mandate coming from government is not a good thing. so obviously, and i'm not the o

barack obama has failed america. >> before romney can have a shot at beating president obama, he must face his republican opponents in the lead off primary state of new hampshire. that's where romney announced and candy crowley is there. we all listened to the speech carefully. does he sound like the front-runner for the republican nomination right now? >> reporter: completely he sounded like the front-runner. not a mention of any other republicans that are in this race or thinking about getting in this race, which is not all that unusual, i think, at this stage of the game. they have only had one debate. they will mix it up soon enough. but the fact is, he was very strong and he came out almost with a totality of his speech, you came away with what really was a broad side against all things of the obama administration, foreign and domestic. this was a very tough speech by a man who was ready really for the season finale rather than going through all of these other stages that obviously this contest has to go through

i don't want edwin edwards louisiana as barack obama's america. edward went to jail and if it gets to the national situation the fbi would be in on the racket instead of throwing people in jail. we can't afford that. we know what it was like. so i would tell you there's an alternative that is called the republican party. we will hear from speakers who are running for president. they will have many different ideas. you will like some better than others and i may like some different from you but understand this, all of them are better than the alternatives. [applause] all of them are more committed to freedom. all of them are more committed to the people, not the government. when we turn our country around to the unelected bureaucrats in washington who get their positions and their powers for voting on a labor union who gets lots of money in the democratic party its scheme over for the country. all of the republicans will oppose this. so you and i may be to disagree who the best candidate is. you and i need like different candidates, you and i may t
