it's not justin bieber or barack obama as personality but barack obama who has always seen the hope of what america can be. hope of a more perfect union. >> also a very sobering tone to the speech. think of barack obama who began national political career talking about optimism and hope and change and unity and progress, ended presidency by defending certain things we didn't think a few years ago needed defending, science, basic facts, journalism, the ability of citizens to talk to each other on the most fundamental level. although i heard the optimism you're reflecting, i heard a great level of concern about it. also the shoutout to michelle obama, i've tried to report the story of the obama partnership and how it's affected this presidency. but i believe it's so subtle and deep and fascinating, we have to hand the baton to the historians. michelle obama pushed barack obama to become the politician she wanted him to be. was above it all lofty figure and wanted him to have elevated presidency. and in the way that jackie kennedy was in many ways the architect of the kennedy vision, say

barack obama said he has become a fictional character. here is a quote from his interview, i believe with "rolling stone" in 2008. he says i was never subjected to the villification of fox news and the media ecosystem. he blames that on bringing down his approval ratings. >> he won'tlet it go. bottom line, he should have come on fox news and reached across the aisle more. he passed through without any republican help. he didn't want it, he never got it. howie: he seems to leave out other parts of the equation. >> the mainstream media has backed president obama and will have been outspoke others who have definitely been on the attack. there is no question about that. he's right. there have been talk shows and conservatives who have gone after him. but he's the president. you can expect he's also a super liberal president. when you have a president acting in a liberal way you will have the press going after him. >> the obama administration often leaked everything they needed to the "new york times." so it's no surprise the "new york times"

voice that was barack obama‘s vision, and it didn‘t pan out.se off as a divided country now than we were eight years ago. i have donald trump can motivate and people to get behind him and his message to adopt his vision of america. like it or not, whether you voted for him are not, whether you voted for him are not, you are stuck with him as your present for four years, and i not, you are stuck with him as your present forfour years, and i hope people give him the respect that a lot of people gave barack obama in his first term as president give us the line up for the first 100 days, i think you‘ll seam of modes on obamacare. we‘ve already started seeing that. obamacare we‘ve already started seeing that. obamaca re was the we‘ve already started seeing that. obamacare was the issue that drove partners —— voters away from the democratic party. if you look a piece of literature from 2010 from a republican congressman‘s district, it‘s probably the same in 2016, that is how unpopular obamacare has become. but the republicans now having both houses o

first, barack obama, never had a chance. he probably could have been one of the best presidents in the united states of america forever. because of the hard-core onset power that the republicans played against him he never really had a chance. the one thing about barack obama is he was humble, he was kind, he was charming, he was accepting, he was gracious, he was fit and caring and all of those things are reflective of a man of grace and of great concern for the world. one of the things that is so imperative and i don't think this country is aware of, our nation is aware of, we are now a global world because of the ability of the internet and instan tainuous news around the world and when our president in our country is elected, basically the status quo, they say, he is the world leader. now we have a world president-elect coming onboard who lacks in grace and charm and any sort of humbleness at all. host: elizabeth, we'll leave it there and let our guest respond. guest: well, barack obama was the jackie robinson of u.s. pr

i believe barack 0bama is the most divisive president in well over a generation. why?e issue. man should not bejudged by played the race issue. man should not be judged by the colour of their king, but of the content of their character and barack 0bama reminded people of the colour of their skin and forced it to be a racial issue and forced it to be a racial issue and that was negative for our country. bryan stevenson is one of the most prominent civil rights lawyers in america today and he is perplexed by that sentiment. lawyers in america today and he is perplexed by that sentimentlj lawyers in america today and he is perplexed by that sentiment. i think he tried really hard to counter the idea that he was there just for people of colour and his policies reinforced that. i do not believe you can point to many things that he did that would be, quote, racially divisive. we had moments in this country, police shootings being dramatic, that were polarising to people, but i cannot find much that he did that any other democrat would have done. many of us think he encounter

we were told why ali barack obama continues to see these strong earnings.quarter earnings, they have had good results. in november they came out with several initiatives to drive sales but of course the growth rates aren't as high as before. they have slowed a bit and that is why they are focusing on other areas of business like cloud computing and digital media, looking at international expansion from these areas. revenue from cloud business jumped expansion from these areas. revenue from cloud businessjumped by 150%. can this be sustained? about i don't know if it can be sustained with the higher growth rates in china, it depends on how much it can expand globally. we have seen increasing demand from consumers and enterprise in cloud computing. but there are risks, you have them in the us blacklist over counterfeiting and there's a securities and exchange commission investigation in the us including accounting practices. will this create a whole going forward into the bottom line of the company, will it have a reputational damage? there is definitely some

on the issue of race, though, barack obama leaves a complicated legacy.ghts battlegrounds across this country, but few as crucial as those in this state. in one of his last acts as president, barack obama has designated certain sites in alabama important in the civil rights movement as national monuments, including the gaston motel, which was used as headquarters for a time by martin luther king. around the corner stands a church that was bombed by white supremacists in one of the pivotal moments of the civil rights struggle. president obama has now made this a national monument too, in honour of the four young girls who were killed. ii—year—old denise mcnair was one of those who died in the bombing, an event that sparked national outrage. churches are supposed to be your sanctuaries, so for that to happen in a church, i think those that may have been on the side of segregation had to take a second look. during his presidency, barack obama has paid tribute to the historical events that helped pave his own way to the white house. that included inviting the

do you think democrats will do the same with barack obama? >> the reagan cult is creepy and dangerous and you had years and years and years in which republicans said what would reagan do? let's find some minor writing that reagan might have said. >> right. >> what was right in 1980 is right forever. that's bad. >> right. >> but they should value obama's presidency. they should see it as a model to emulate and defend. >> jonathan chait, the book is called "audacity," fascinating and provocative. thanks for your time tonight. >> thank you, chris. >>> that's "all in" this evening. a reminder, at 11:00 p.m., "the obama years with brian williams." "the rachel maddow show" starts right now. >> thank you, my friend. we know that it didn't end well. what we forget sometimes is that it did not start well. richard nixon was elected in 1968, re-elected in 1972. that meant that his inauguration day for a second term was in january 1973. it was his inauguration date, january 20th, '73. almost spooky to look back at that day now because of the way we know

view barack obama and his time in office? >> any time the white house switches hands, it reflects on the president before. clinton when bill replaced george h.w. bush primarily because we had an outsider beating an incumbent. here we have an outsider defeating an insider that would have been a third continuation. one party has held the white house for three consecutive terms only once. this would have been a validation of obama's legacy. the american people did not give it to him. katty: how much have they been talking? what is the relationship going to be like? few times,e spoken a like when donald trump has criticized the ability of the transition. president obama called to touch base. this will be one of the more fascinating relationships in the years going forward. he will only be a couple of miles down the street, and they have such different worldviews. president obama says they get along. i'm not sure i believe that, but it is a relationship they will be talking through, because this incoming president has no experienc

the next morning this is barack obama reading the actual note.procession to the capital is always a big deal. as we move along pennsylvania avenue there. and here is a picture from exactly 100 years ago. an open carriage and that is william howard taft on the right. and the new president, woodrow wilson on the left. in 1933, we had a situation with franklin d roosevelt in herbert hoover. the two of them did not get along so well. there wasn't a lot of conversation during their ride to the capital. many pictures that were taken that day, roosevelt can be seen waving to the crowd or smiling to the crowd for turning toward hoover and trying to have a conversation. but in every picture you ever see hoover is just looking straight ahead ignoring him. there have been other times also where the presidents, new and old did not get along so well. and those i mentioned in my book the chapter is called can't we all get along. sometimes if there is a big issue, here is 1909, that is william howard taft driving together with teddy roosevelt. we can't see them
