this is augusta county, virginia, write used to live. the mean average temperature is 53 degrees.pitation 38 inches. here is sussex county in southeastern virginia at 5 degrees warmer. and 20% more precipitation and the corn yields are the same. why? because people adapt. they adapt their practices. what's different between the temperature warming 5 degrees or a warmer moving from sussex county to augusta county? the thing is -- the answer is absolutely nothing. so people adapt to varying and large changes. well, that's the climate of extremes. now, i'd like to ask a very, very interesting question in this climate. i'm going to ask you the question, have the global warming climate models failed? and this is touched on in the book. i want to expand on that. when we talk about the effects of global warming like mr. gore was talking about in 10 years we start with changes in the atmosphere meaning changes in the carbon dioxide concentration. we put them into climate models and then we put these into usually economic impact models for agriculture or energy or whatever you might want t

the defense counsel came up with a stack of newspaper articles that came from the "augusta chronicle" that onef the judge's best friends, they grew up together, sat on the same pew, and was my father's fiercest political rival, and newspaper competitor. they used his articles to show that my father actually was too popular to be tried in the actual district where every article that they wrote was negative against my father. he didn't hold a hearing. he just said we're going to expand the venue to south georgia. now come on. if my father could not get a fair trial. i mean, if my father was too popular in that particular area, then how about we consider in south georgia his popularity? that wasn't the plan. there was certainly no jury of his peers. i will tell you today that without a schad dp-- shadow of doubt the judge's decision was krit kl. he replaced four black jurors with four white jurors. one of the jurors that the defense counsel has stricken was a republican who had ran for office before. he said that we struck that juror was he was white. the law says it's a prima fascia cas

clay is joining from augusta georgia. >> caller: good morning and thanks to c-span. it's sad to me when i hear people criticize president obama. some people think he's supposed to be moses or something and take his stake and part of the sea. he adopted basically something george bush left for eight years. he left it in a big mess so they ought to give him a break. they really should give him a break. these people like rush limbaugh and i can't think of the naim on fox news that's really irritating. barack obama cannot do anything without people singing critical about him. i want to ask a question, sir. do you think he will become a great president? >> guest: it's tough to say. look, whether he is or could be a great president is something he thought about at the earliest stages of trying to decide whether or not to run and again this is the second chapter of the book where he and his friends are discussing what makes a great president and in his opinion, he has a sort of mixture of the person and the time and that is why he thought ronald reagan and was a great presi
