but for wilbur force it became real. it was not about christianity, it was about the living god and serving him. and wilbur force suddenly took the bible seriously and awful us were created in the image of god. he took this bible seriously and said, it is our job to care for these, and he said, god, i will obey. he fought politically, he fought hard -- really, all the people that were fighting with him were christians. the churchgoers were not really with him. the quakers, the methodists, they were in the trenches because they knew they had no choice but to regard the afterry cans as ma -- africans and made by god. all the people who went to church, like i say, they got it wrong. they had not seen jesus. wilbur force took these ideas, these foreign ideas, from the bible and brought them into culture, and you can read about it, not just in my book which the president may read, but you can read about it. this is historical fact. this is not my spin. wilburforce, because he believed what the bible said and because he obeyed

great to have you here, wilbur.en it feels a little bit like groundhog day when it relates to greece at least. we have had some news out of portugal. i don't know if you think the story is moving. i was reading through some of the notes and you suggest that the way they are approaching some of these bailouts and restructuring is setting a very bad precedent. why do you say that? >> i feel that because greece is being rewarded for failing to live up to its commitments. every time they fail to live up to their commitments they get more concessions out of the eu or out of the private-sector lenders and i think that's a message that won't be lost on spain, portugal, italy, whoever comes next. >> if our on the other side of that trade what's the alternative? if you're germany, do you have a choice in >> i think at the end of the day they make a deal with greece and i don't think you have the disorderly disruption. i agree with that. i just think that greece is outmaneuvering everybody else. >> outmaneuvering, makes it so
