organizing bill clinton is another. indeed, much of the acrimony dates back to 2008 in the democratic primary when clinton called then-senator obama's opposition to the iraq war a fairy tale and compared obama's south carolina primary win to jesse jackson's victory 20 years earlier. even on the eve of candidate obama's coronation in denver, clinton wasn't quite ready to deliver a full-throated endorsement. >> is he ready to be president? >> well, in the -- you could argue that no one is ever ready to be president. i mean, i certainly learned a lot about the job in the first year. >> but the thing that really truly bothered clinton more than anything else was a remark that can datd obama made during a 2008 interview that the former president could not abide. >> i think ronald reagan changed the trajectory of america in a way that, you know, richard nixon did not. and in a way that bill clinton did not. >> burn. that comment reportedly irked clinton so much that he returned obsessively to the slight throughout the 2008 ca

bill clinton is known as the secretary of explaining stuff. the person that often the president turns to explain difficult issues. but i think they have a very respectful relationship. and people shouldn't underestimate that here in the district. >> they're two hugely different kinds of politicians. bill clinton loves the joy of politics and getting out there and talking to every last person he can. and president obama is a very different kind of politician. cooler politician. much more cerebral. you can understand why they had their differences because they operated so differently as president. >> we're going to take a quick break. when we come back, more discussion and analysis of the clinton-obama relationship. we're awaiting the start of the medal of freedom ceremony here at the white house. here comes a quick break.

but bill clinton, there is the famous photograph. this was a man who meant a great deal to him. >> but he does have a memory of ted kennedy, one of his mentors in the senate, one of the people closest to him, someone without whom he could not have done health care reform, right? ted kennedy's part of it. >> thank you so much. stay with cnn as we continue special coverage. in the next hour, we will be remembering john f. kennedy as president and first lady. go to arlington cemetery for a special service. her busy saturday begins with back pain, when... hey pam, you should take advil. why? you can take four advil for all day relief. so i should give up my two aleve for more pills with advil? you're joking right? for my back pain, i want my aleve. you're joking right? (horn, ding, ding) how long have i had my car insurance? i don't know, eight, ten years. i couldn't tell you but things were a lot less expensive back then. if you're 50 or over you should take a new look at your auto insurance. you may be overpaying. actually that makes a

statement where bill clinton says some people might pay more. it's going to be a little complicated. let's see how hillary clinton put it when she was running for president. >> there will be no new bureaucracies. you can keep the doctors you know and trust. you keep the insurance you have, if you like it. >> nia, that sounds an awful lot like barack obama. >> exactly. he must have been watching these youtube clips from hillary clinton. you're exactly right. you had complicated bill back in the '90s explaining it. and then you had hillary clinton clearly learning this lesson to make it simple, to sell this thing. that's what president obama had to do. we'll see, going forward whether or not this works and the fixes they're going to make. for clinton, her challenge -- on one hand, you're right. she has to root for obama's success but she also has to figure out a way to separate herself. you're starting to see them figure out how to do that. >> she can't do -- but she can't do that yet. she can't -- there will be a time for that. but the bigger que

bill clinton says that president obama should honor the commitment. >> well, in and of itself, bill clinton saying that he needs to honor the commitment, that in and of itself is funny. moving on from that, being bill clinton's bff, he's always going to be problematic if you are barack obama. they were tight for a while. really tight. but we are coming up to 2016. and hillary clinton, if she doesn't win, doesn't win the nomination, you can say probably in large part it will be because of obama care. that's clearly the anvil hanging around the neck of republicans. well, i mean, they are all putting distance. clinton is a smart guy. he probably hasn't thought this through, though, about -- are we going the honor the commitments made? i mean, it is like that game of kerplunk. if you pull too many strauss out obama care the whole thing collapses. it is not clear you can do the piece meal. insurance companies have moved on. >> the whole idea when president clinton said president obama should honor the commitment the government made to those people, what struck me is that was news today. so -- i

i'm not convinced bill clinton was doing a calculus here. we think everything he does is driven by poetvation. sometimes he's freed up with politics. i do think he is very aware like people like mark prior in arkansas, he cares ability. this gave some cover to a lot of congressional red state democrats who were having problematic races. there is no question the white house, you heard jay carney say there is not much difference 2009 what the president said and the former president said. except the current president has not changed the law. so it's impossible to get around the language bill clinton used with what people are feeling. people are feeling portrayed. they do not feel they are passing a law. it's hard to get around. if you are a congressional democrat, what bill clinton did is great f. are you obama and you want to see the aca work not so good. >> so obama in a bind trying to keep the health care vow. they're working to try to physical out how to do that. so it's not like he's digging in and standing by the comments. he apologized f

bill you suggest is exactly why bill clinton aban toned the president. he is looking to his wife's prospective candidacy. >> is bill clinton abandoning obama care? i wouldn't go that far. but i do think making an adjustment to the law would be the wrong mix right now. >> i agree. >> and i mean, we all know that you have to have people enrolling in the exchange for the exchange to work. healthy people have to fund sick people. so to tell them to have a law that keeps people -- drives them out of the exchange -- >> something he did to help his wife. i think that's crazy. i don't think it helps -- i don't think it helps hillary clinton. i think obama care has to work. i don't think she has any capacity to put daylight between herself and the president on his signature accomplishment. so i assume he's freelancing out there, whatever -- >> i don't understand why some senate democrats don't stand up and say, we are going to stop the junk insurance industry in its tracks. that's what obama care is all about. it's -- that's not hard to say. >> no. >> i think it'

bill clinton said a couple of things. low income young people are finding themselves at greater odds of getting bad insurance and another thing he talked about. young people are balking for expensive coverage for things they don't need. they are man dated to carry and that's why 5 million with individual policies cancelled already. to be continued and johnathon thank you. and richard thank you. there will be a lot of questions. thank you guys. . >>> all right camerota, check it out. researchers developing technology to precisely predict hurricanes and super stops any edge can make a difference between life-and-death. douglas kennedy is live on that next. >> reporter: a big problem with hurricanes, you often don't know where they are going. one man in new jersey can make unpredictable super storms predictable. in october 2012, travis miles was working on the jersey shore. when hurricane sandy barrelled its way up the east coast. >> it was supposed to go out to sea and then it veered back? >> yeah, it was coming up the atla

bill clinton made his box even smaller. what's behind those helping his wife butt some space between herself and obama? >> i remember press conference in the briefing room president clinton was in there. obama -- one of them wouldn't leave. i can't remember which one wouldn't leave. clinton wouldn't leave. this has been going on. it is a while in dc circles they don't get along. a lot of people are speculating why he would do that. this didn't help president obama at all. because he now hads to do something. what do you do? do you continue to have 50,000 enrollees or do you make changes? jay carney said we understand what he had to say. maybe the president is looking it all up. >> i will make one last point. he could look at it another way. bill clinton real lipped president obama today. he basically took away the dam and now the water can flow out obama can say i am going to have to make some changes ear. it stops the guesswork out of it. it could be a forcing action. >> the only thing i thought about this i talked to diff

doesn't need bill clinton's advise bill clinton to rehabilitate himself and wanting to give the president advise and barack obama not talking to him than the summer of 2011 comes and he is put after the debt ceiling debacle when his poll ratings drop he looks up in the same period we discussed earlier and i will have a fight of my life here and i heed all the assets available to me and i need bill clinton. i mean, just purely a calculation and need thing, not a like thing, not a love thing but i need him, and so they go out and go golfing together and have this, it than reported now several times, you know, they have this rough golf outing. >> rose: and. >> clinton takes too many mulligans he takes 14 shots. >> rose: he gets through them. >> but nine hours and barack obama doesn't have nine hours to play golf so they don't get through the whole thing and barack obama says to an aide i like him in doses but that is the beginning of a year honk process where they get closer and closer. that is a bad first date but by the spring obama and clinton are at mcauliffe house and president clinton

"the new york times" is reporting the new book "double done" reveals obama was poised to put hillary clinton has his running mate. candy, explosive stuff in this book. >> you know, if you're a junky and there at the time and remember certain things going on, it kind of helps everything come together and you're right, the lead of this at least according to the new york times version of reading this book is that top aids to the president said we need to go and poll tabs. they were low 40s, ab

bill clinton is saying it. bill clinton has given democrats who are already feeling the pressure from their constituents cover. >> absolutely. frank, there's a new quinnipiac poll out just moments ago saying that only 19% of american voters think that the quality of care they and their families receive will improve next year. 43% say it will get worse. 33% say unaffected. that's a pretty strong number indicating the nation has lost faith in obama care. >> not great numbers. you could certainly use the explainer in chief weighing in on behalf of obama care. in fact, the rest of that interview, clinton did a great job of explaining -- >> and defending. >> -- and defending the plan. but this intervention is particularly unhelpful because he makes it sound like there's an easy fix for this very small group of people but very poignantly, have had a great deal of uncertainty injected into their lives because their plans have been canceled or -- so there's no -- there's really no easy fix for this. i think clinton by

clinton weighed in. >> let them keep what they've got. >> thank you bill clinton. >> a lot of problems. >> disappointing obama care numbers. >> doesn't surprise me. >> i think things are going to pick up. >> they have got to fix this and fast. >> i have not seen figures. >> expecting official numbers from the administration. >> releasing by the end of the week. >> we need to work to implement it. >> listen to debbie wasserman-schultz. >> every single day. >> they know when it is successful their candidates lose. >> when we look back we will be better off. >> still with all this peeling up. >> we are not going backwards. >> there is this ideological opposition. >> it is about ideology. >> most obvious example is healthcare.gov. >> they know when it is successful. >> republicans plotting strategy. >> tone, style, divided government. >> i appreciate that. >> the gop its beset by greater structural problems. >> approximately see has got to match the politics. >> republicans continue to rig the electorate. >> republicans have done their best. >> that's not okay. >> we are not going backward

>> bill clinton spoke the truth. i think it was fine what he said. >> let me get a little more cryptic here. here it is. leading democratic strategist such as doug sherman. clinton's poll, are warning that obama care will cost the democrats in 2014 and may fatally damage hillary clinton's presidential campaign in 2016. is that why we have the interest of the pot? >> president? >> he understands how critical it is for a president to keep his word. somewhere in his calculation, he was thinking about the political campaign three years out. i don't know why i think that. i'm talking about bill clon ton. >> clinton. >> he was -- exit question. is the democratic party erupting into a civil war on the left plank? and the clinton democrats on the right plank? >> no. they are just following bill clon ton who knows when the water reaches the main deck, you follow the raft. >> the president is giving bill clinton the presidential medal of freedom next week. all is well. >> i don't think it's a civil war. everyone is panicked an

president obama, hillary clinton, bill clinton, michelle obama. in their

i go back to bill clinton. i mean you think about the 2008 presidential campaign between hillary clinton and barack obama. it was very contentious. then bill clinton sort of put his arm around barack obama in 2012 and greatly helped him with a lot of voters, helped bring him across the finish line in some of the more swing states so that they really have had this interesting partnership that was a rivalry and has turned into a friendship and how that plays out to the next presidential election is really where all eyes will be. you also see there in the middle is ben bradlee, former editor of "the washington post" known for watergate fame. a big honor for journalism, thomas, to see ben bradlee get this award. around 90 years old now. i know a lot of journalists in washington, d.c., were happy this is bestowed among him in our profession. >> i was going to say it looks like they're doing everything in alphabetical order and president clinton was walking with ben bradlee down the aisle. as you pointed out, it is b

bill clinton undercutting the white house message. here is what he had to say. >> i personally believes even if it takes a change in the law, the president should honour the commitment to federal government and let them keep what they have go. >> that's not going to happen, jay carney saying the white house is looking at options to make people happier, involving making them affordable, not to allow the old plans. the trouble is this is causing political problems for the white house, and significantly, perhaps, for key democrats on capital hill. mary landsville and fienstein, co-spoon orring legislation to allow people to go back to their old plan. trouble for the president and democrats in the polls. 46% thinking the president knowingly deceived the government saying "if you like your old plan you can keep it." president obama's approval rating is at 39%, a low, that matches the same number that george w. bush had at the same point in his presidency. >> bill clinton also said there's nothing the federal government can do about states

bill clinton just made this box even smaller. his comments not designed to help the president. >> remember -- i remember a press conference in the briefing room. obama for -- one of whom wouldn't leave. i can't remember which one wouldn't leave. clinton wouldn't leave. he said he was holding the stage. but this has been going on. it is a while -- in d.c. circles, well-known fact they don't get along. a lot of people are speculate why he would do this. this didn't help president obama out at all. he's now -- he has to do something. president obama has to address the issue. what do you do? do you continue to have 50,000 or 100,000 enrollees or make changes. jay carney this afternoon in the briefing room said, well, you know, we understood what clinton had to say and maybe -- the president is looking at all options. >> i think that -- look at it anot bill clinton actually really helped president obama today. because he gave -- he basically took -- took away the dam and now the water can flow out. so obama can say all right, i have t

. >> bill clinton's slam down hurt. >> bill clinton threw barack obama on the political bus here. that was damaging. you saw a lot of democrats go wobbly. we'll see something coming out of the white house. the question is what can they announce that doesn't gut the core of the law. in their view these plans are noncompliant with the law. they are bad plans that don't live up to the standards they've set. how can they go back and retroactively allow those plans. >> he hasn't backed any legislation. i want to get to that, bob. tell me about the small business group insurance. i want to ask you about the insurance companies. they're all programmed now. they're all programmed to get rid of these plans and somehow get the new obama plans in there. let's say the landrew bill passes which allows you to keep your plan. the insurance can be re-reprogrammed to do this? >> i made the rounds today and asked that question of the ceos. larry, if you have to sign up by december 15th in order to have coverage on january 1. december 15th is 33 days away from now. so the notion that they can pass s

bill clinton opened up the obamacare wound. doug schoen who knows the former president well, he's here. how do you feel about this? one third of all adults should take an anti-cholesterol pill every day for the rest of their lives? i hate it. dr. marc siegel may try to change my mind. and oliver stone perhaps the best known living conspiracy theorist addresses a bankers convention, what the devil is going on? ♪ here is what's going on right now. the house oversight committee is holding a hearing on the security of the obamacare website. the white house chief technology guy says that the administration failed to test healthcare.gov for the traffic october the 1st and a memo obtained by this committee that's holding the hearings now says the security of the website is so bad that quote, the threat and risk is limitless. we're monitoring this for fireworks and we'll bring you anything as it happens. we've been saying this all morning, obamacare is in collapse mode, failing to live up to president's promise if you like your healt

we are reporting that bill clinton, what bill clinton is saying which is in fact exactly what the president said. he talked about how we should fix this and people wanted to keep their health care plans, we should work out a way to fix this. this is not a tiff. there is no difference between where bill clinton is and where the president is on this. this is a creation of the media. >> i don't agree. if you look at literally what bill clinton said today, it is a little perplexing why he said it because if you follow exactly what he said, it would be dangerous not only for the health care plan, but also ultimately for hillary clinton. what bill clinton said today is people should be allowed to keep their current plans in the individual market. the problem with that is the way the individual market works now, it essentially segregates out the people who are sick. that is the whole idea about pre-existing conditions. it's an overwhelmingly healthy market and if you don't bring those people into the obama care plans, you have the risk they will be tilted too heavily toward the sick and -- [ speak

one thing i knew, clinton had gotten rough and pushed the line. i was mad at bill clinton. i'll admit, i held a bit of a grudge. fast forward to 2007. i am writing a column i am not doing tv. i am a nobody. i am in thousands of dollars for debt. with hillary clinton setting out to run for president, i find myself thinking about to the 1992 campaign, how the clintons had beetden beaten tsongas. like all of my columns, it ran and nothing happened. one woman from the upper west side wrote to me. she always wrote to me usually to tell me how much she didn't like me. besides that, i didn't hear from anybody. then, a month or so later, this comes in the mail. it is from harlem, bill clinton's office. look at the upper right. when you are an ex-president, your signature counts as a stamp. maybe it is an offer to meet him for a round of golf, which i don't play. it turns out, it was a personal letter, hand written, almost four pages long and almost completely indecipherable. his penman shship was a little sloppy. it came with a typed translation. dear mr. kornacki. it was so select

like these -- you know, when john boehner an bill clinton agree on something and it's that they disagree with you, you're in a bit of trouble. >>> first, here's what's happening this very minute. two congressional hearings into the issues with the health care rollout while the white house pushes back and pushes back hard against a "washington post" report that says the website is unlikely to be up and running by december 1st. but it's comments made by former president bill clinton yesterday that have speaker boehner and other republicans practically giddy. he called on president obama to help people keep the insurance they have, even if it means tweaking the law. >> i personally believe even if it takes a change in the law, the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they got. >> the unofficial secretary of explaining stuff sounding like a critic in chief. now, boehner isn't the only republican all to happy to pile on now. >> i'm inclined to agree with bill clinton, but that's something that ought to be attempted. but given

chris, first of all, bill clinton didn't hedge. bill clinton didn't say if it's the right plan or if it meets regulations. bill clinton said you should keep your promise even if it requires new law. he was very direct and very blunt. obama is not. you could be talking about at least 15 million on the individual market, chris, and you could be talking about another 90 million on the employer based market all during 2014. so what's obama move here? >> well, when you have james on or you're talking about bill clinton you're talking about i would call the great centered democrats of american political life. obama is not of the center. he doesn't want any modifications or any discussion. i think what he's doing now is what they used to say in nixon days the modified limited hang out. he's admitted some mistakes, he admits he want some changes. he'll blame it on the republicans. 5 million people had their plans cancelled. the reason their plans are cancelled is the insurance plans that those people have don't meet the requirements that t

but it's comments made by former president bill clinton yesterday that have speaker boehner and other republicans practically giddy. he called on president obama to help people keep the insurance they have, even if it means tweaking the law. >> i personally believe even if it takes a change in the law, the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they got. >> the unofficial secretary of explaining stuff sounding like a critic in chief. now, boehner isn't the only republican all to happy to pile on now. >> i'm inclined to agree with bill clinton, but that's something that ought to be attempted. but given the complexity of the system and you've already gotten people who have lost their policies, who can't get new ones. >> you can add at least one more high profile democrat to this bipartisan bandwagon. senator dianne feinstein is co-sponsoring a bill to help people keep their plans. with both parties keeping up the heat, jay carney tried a little damage control yesterday. >> i think as you saw the president say in an interv

when it comes to bill clinton, bill clinton does what is good for the clintons and i wonder if this isn't a trial balloon for hillary clinton and a possible run in 2016 to position her with being on a popular side of this, which is if you like your plan and if you like your doctor, you should be able to keep it. >> wow, multi-level conspiracy theory here. you think he's doing this for the future, for a future campaign? robert, what do you make of that? >> find a conspiracy even when it comes to providing affordable health care for america. what the president said is reiterating what president clinton said. reiterated what president obama said several days ago in an interview with chuck todd of nbc. clearly, there is, obviously, growing tension amongst democrats in the house and senate. over this issue, plus over the website not working effectively. and there really has to be a change to the law either that the president says he can do administratively, if he can't, clearly, the law has to be addressed so that the promise is kept. the bigger issue here, john, the hippypocrisy we're seeing

. >> is bill clinton undermining the white house on health care? we'll look at the building tensions in the democratic party over obamacare. >> is the new face of alcoholism female? the surprising number of women who are struggling with the bottle and its terrible consequences. >> welcome to consider this. we begin with obamacare, and the issues that are happening in washington, d.c., because obamacare seems to have become obama scare for the democrats. right now, the numbers of people participating in the affordable care act are well below expectations, just over 49,000 people have signed on through the 12 state based exchanges. around 3% of the enrollment target in those states. perhaps 40,000 to 50,000 have signed up through the federal government. meanwhile, 440,000 signed on for medicaid through obamacare. it's a huge imbalance that tilts the program toward delivering more subsidized health care which would drive up the cast for most other americans. president obama is pressured to make changes, so americans who want to keep their current heal

kennedy, when bill clinton was a young man. and bill clinton loved that photo. used it in his presidential campaign. president obama was a young man when this all happened. his wife was born after president kennedy was assassina assassinated. in 2008, when senator kennedy and caroline kennedy endorsed -- both of these presidents right here, clinton and obama, have a connection to the kennedy family that's been important to them politically. and they thought it was important to do this today. >> and i heard you say that over the last half century or so, the political history of the u.s. is the history of the kennedy family. >> if you just look back, if you think about it, we always talk about expectations of the moment. well, when jack kennedy ran for the presidency, it wasn't supposed to be him. it was supposed to be his older brother, joe, who was killed in the war. after jack kennedy was assassinated, the torch passed to bobby kennedy. he was assassinated. ted kennedy ran for president and never quite made it. but you have the legislative perspective. and the

that's what bill clinton is saying, you to have change this. he has to do something to keep his word. if not, friday you're going to find a lot of democrats voting for the republican plan in the house. it can pass without democrats, because the republicans have the majority and almost all will vote for it. there's a danger that it could pass the senate and then the president really will be on the spot. congress will have passed the law that number one would try to keep the president's promise, but number two, open up the preexisting health care plans, which are much cheaper, to anyone that wants to sign up. the upton plan would allow anyone in the country to sign up for those health care plans that do not meet the requirements. >> what do you think is going to happen? did the president hurt his cause by apologizing, or did it come too late? they doubled down for a while, valerie jarrett tweeting that the promises were true and he qualified things and finally came out with a full apology. >> what have it was came too late. it didn't necessarily

bill clinton has the iconic photo as a boy's nation event when bill clinton was a young pan and bill clinton always loved that photo and used it and made the personal connection. president obama of course was a young man when this happened. his wife was born after president kennedy was assassinated but the kennedys were critical. that was when the clinton obama race was atogger head and a big question mark. both of these presidents, clinton and obama have a connection to the kennedy family that is important to them politically and they thought it was important to do this today. >> i heard you say the political history of the u.s. is in many ways the history of kennedy family. >> if you look back, if you think about it, we talk about expectations of the moment. well, when jack kennedy ran for the presidency, it wasn't supposed to be him but his older brother joe. when jack kennedy was assassinated the torch passed. from a legislative perspective and republicans that served with him don't disagree, the most accomplished legislatively senator in the lifetime of anybody watching the prog

the question is, why would bill clinton weigh in on this? >> first of all, president obama weighed in on this a week ago, senator landrieu weighed in on it. it was a topic of hot conversation, there is a lot of -- there is a rough time here. the president's numbers are down. so it is kind of a political backing to have people move into it. but i don't think what the president said applies to very few people. and i'm not sure what his motivation was. but i think it was just reacting to something that is popular that people don't lose their insurance, is my guess. >> the latest numbers are 5 million people have lost their insurance thus far. >> people lose their insurance all the time, megan. >> it is not a coincidence. >> it is not -- >> there is no question. >> how many people lost their insurance in 2009? we just keep throwing figures out. >> but when you do that, you undermine the position of your party, because your diminishing the real loss that people feel. we have had testimony night after night on air, even kirsten powers talked about

meanwhile president bill clinton was on. who knew ozzie on-line magazine had such interesting bump music but they paid it during this sound bite with president clinton where the president said so many times if you like it, you can keep it. now bill clinton says that president should keep his promise. here's bill clinton. >> i personally believe even if it takes changing the law the president should honor the commitment the tp-rg made to those -- the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they've got. >> that's pretty significant. >> what he's saying is a wakeup call, i think, to the administration right now. apparently president clinton was speaking with a family quite unhappy about losing their coverage, premiums hiking up. he speaks for the majority of americans but also the majority of democrats right now who may be up for reelection. their constituents are not happy. so he's saying look, you've got to at least level with the american people and keep the promise. what a statement from him. >> senat
