>> i have not spent a lot of time with him. even those elections -- we took the long view. i think that is one of his great strengths. it is inconsistent with the moment that we find ourselves in. we used to have one news cycle per day. now we have one news cycle every minute. when you take the long view, it is compensated. thatch of washington is people want to take political advantage. when you sit in the oval office, your first 40's to sell things. that tends to be -- when you go through crisis, you can only focus on the long-term. when you think about health care or what you're trying to get done, you have to take the long view. >> people think of as disengaged. -- think of him as disengaged. >> that is not the case. no president is disengaged. you have problems all day coming to you. you have long-term things you're trying to accomplish. we learned that we have to modernize the government in many ways. >> david plouffe is our guest host. our twitter question of the day -- what was apple's greatest innovation?

policy is your new -- it is now uncertain. >> to be fair to the bank of england, he always said that these remarks were a threshold and not a trigger. i think that what he said yesterday is consistent with that. >> how can you persuade the north and the midland that they are part of the recovery? otherwise, it would be difficult to win another election. >> it is vital. i think you can see that in the transport infrastructure that we're building. the electrification and railway lines. investment in roads and ports. these are to make sure that every part of the country benefits from recovery. we want to see the fastest growth in jobs. there are good signs of progress. manufacturing and making more, supporting britain, will help to make sure this is a recovery for the whole country. that is the focus. >> you are confident that manufacturing will come back?
