barack in neither instance is a ,eflection upon who barack is what people had done years earlier. >> do you remember if frank marshall took photographs of barack's mother? >> that's an allegation that is out there. i believe it is without foundation. >> there are pictures on the internet. those photos are 500% fake photo shops. life lived a very colorful . he published a sexual autobiography under a pseudonym. life has no frank's bearing on barack's interaction with him. >> another person you write --, iis a man named ricky state senator is -- in illinois. >> barack and i served in the senate together. he made a bad vote, i was trying to take a child what percent are in my district and barack was doing the disco conservative thing and the only african-american to vote against me. i asked him why did you vote against me and he gave me some about why he voted with the republican spirit i went back to my seat kind of perplexed. they five minutes later were closing a similar facility in his district. even i was going to vote to keep his facility open i did point out that it would have be

barack and sheila did.ex is a part of his life as a young man but that is not all there is anything -- all there means.ny this, he ask you about spent nine years on the book, when was it finished? >> i finished most of the writing in the spring of 2006 016. -- 2 this was entirely completed before the presidential election. i could have made changes of through this january but i did not. host: after doing all this work, 3500 pages of notes, you wake up on may 1 and you read in the new york times the following, this people cannotof review.give a positive here's what she said. star," the voluminous 460 page biography of barack obama is a dreary slog of a read." what was your reaction? >> two things. interestedne who is in the story should look at number one, her long washington post interview. this and did she write another wrote completely the opposite? >> there's an entirely different review in the time by the sunday book review. i believe it is an easily visible matter of public record oft she has been a gr

it's not enough to say, well, barack obama was the first african-american president. what do you think, having covered the whole thing, we're going to be reading about barack obama 50 years from now? >> some things you can't undo as the next president, right? he inherited economy on a great debris and brought it back from the abyss. the auto industry which was about to go into the toilet rescued. osama bin laden who escaped american man hunters for a decade was found and killed. things like that can't be changed by the next administration. i think that the disappointments of his administration are things that are going to live regardless of what the next one that comes along. the legacy of syria is what you would here about the biggest disappointment, the thing they felt couldn't get right, counteddent stop and aches to see hundreds of thousands dead and millions more displaced. those things don't change as a result of the next administration. whether healthcare survives, we wasn't won't know. congress could reach an impasse that leaves the current program in place, s

>> if barack obama had tweeted video of barack obama body slamming a figure with the fox news logo in place of its head, those 450,000 people would not have clicked "like." they would have clicked something that said "impeach." there is such a double standard about this, honestly. as kevin corke pointed out, trump himself mocked and ridiculed obama for walking the wrong way on the stairs. there's no argument. >> the double standard is how the media treated barack obama. barack obama was pretty hostile to press freedom. people didn't overreact. the media didn't hold him accountable for anything he was doing. you have the people frustrated with the media. this isn't really about trump trump or barack obama. >> the frustration of some people about the media justifies the president lowering himself? behaving at this debased level. i don't agree. >> do you let the media run roughshod over the values of so many people. >> james: i want to give the last words of steve hayes. >> no question there was a double standard with barack obama. he was treated, given elevated stature by the media. the

barack d can trump undo obama's legacy? the evidence so far suggest when it comes to whether the obama years will survive the trump years? >> that is a great question. when you see a president leave office, normally you have a pretty good sense of what his legacy is going to be. this is a unique situation where you have a president basically seemingly determined brick by brick to demolish the last guy's achievements in a way other guys haven't done. ronald reagan and talked about eliminating the department of education that jamie carter started. he didn't do it. dwight eisenhower didn't undo the new deal. president trump seems determined to take out piece by piece parts of the legacy. ealth care is the most prominent one. we see clean energy regulations by the e.p.a. and so forth. you can say that president obama's legacy is still unwritten because we don't know how it is going to wind up. >> was it too early to write the book then? >> no, it is never too early to write a book. this is a book that captures the eight years o

trump is barack obama's legacy.did not care about where i'm from, the quote, unquote ply-over states, he lift down his nose against rural america and now he's taking that hate overseas and ashamed of our country. >> oh, my gosh. i hate when you're talking a difference on policy. this is exactly what's wrong with trump and his followers. please. [laughter] >> you know what, it's wrong and hateful to insult a sitting president when you're abroad. you're supposed to be a -- >> you can disagree respectfully on policy and that's what state statesmen like this is. please continue them. >> he's not in office anymore. >> no, he's not, people respect him. todd: all right. last question. atima, then to you, last question for atima. should president trump be supported by president obama? >> president trump and president obama don't have a great relationship and that goes back to the fact that he questioned his citizenship as the president in the country so i think that they should have a great relationship, that's my opinion b

barack obama. and that's not a perm attack on the -- a personal attack on the former president. you could substitute in the name of any black politician, and the statement would still hold true. that's what i'm trying to get at in this book. it started out as a column, and it grew into a longer essay and then eventually the short book that was recently published. but my intention was the make a fairly simple point which is that political activity is not the most effective way of advancing a group economically. a racial or ethnic group's political success does not automatically lead to economic success. one does not flow naturally from the other. it's hardly an original observation, but i think it's an important one that is regularly ignored by civil rights leaders and black political leaders when practice identity politics. urging blacks to vote as a bloc, favoring candidates of their own racial or ethnic background and so forth. and i thought the end of the obama presidency was an especially good

his bookro talks about "rising star: the making of barack obama" which covers mr. obama's life up to winning the presidency. >> i think the point to emphasize is over the course of barack's presidency there were scores and scores of people in illinois he were deeply disappointed with the trajectory of the obama presidency and disappointed int to ways. thatr one, disappointed barack thoughts many of the people who were essential to his political rise. night on "q&a." >> cheryl atkinson talks about smear tactics in her book "the smear," how shady operatives and fake news manipulate how you vote. >> you do not stick up for mccain. you hammer "the washington post," who you feel has not properly reported on this incident, as opposed to saying donald trump why are you smearing john mccain? i am not here to defend john mccain donald trump. i think the media behavior -- people do mistake when you criticize media behavior at times for how it treats donald trump -- it does not mean i support him or him cheering him on. i see those as separate things. you mustread often as be

president barack obama inspired me in the same way. a young candidate was fired up and ready to go and said "yes we , can." without barack obama, i might still be sitting on my couch eating doritos and watching sports. he embodies the definition of grace under pressure. from his first day in office until his last, the president put the national interest above his own interest well resisting the politics of cynicism that all too often occurs. he had the courage to pursue comprehensive health-care reform as his first order of business , knowing the issue would cost cost the party politically. he continued to fight during the administration that my uncle fought for for 50 years in the senate and did what no president had been able to do, passing the affordable care act.

donald trump suggests he took another big swipe at his predecessor, former president barack obama. >> obama when he was president found out about this in terms of if it were russia, found out about it in august. he did nothing about it. why do nothing about it? >> a few other issues covered at this press conference, poland wanted donald trump to reaffirm his commitment to nato and he did that. may be not using as strong a language as the president would have liked but reaffirmed the us commitment to nato and all the us troops that are here in poland, thousands of them dedicated to the alliance's build up that went into effect after russia, in 2014, they talked about trade, poland started buying or liquefied natural gas, donald trump said maybe we will get the price up a little bit. >> president duda is a great negotiator and he is trying to get the price up. >> the whole nato thing, negotiation tactic -- why would you want to reward countries that are not paying their full share by giving them the guarantees that no matter what we will protect you. they will never pay. >> he heads off

i never felt that way about barack obama. i did not hate him. this is our country. you people are tearing it apart. please stop. we are better than this. barack obama used to say, like in a loud whisper, we are better than this. we are better than this. please stop the hate. host: orville is calling from brooklyn, new york. he is a democrat. good morning, orville. caller: good morning, man. ceo talkingectrum about tv with the president in the white house saying he will acquire 20,000 workers. march, theater in union went on strike because the ceo wanted to take away their pension and health-care. it is for months now, they are on strike. we need the ceo to do what it promise and not threaten workers. from hote is going springs, arkansas, an independent. good morning. caller: good morning. i have several comments. i remember, you use to build good to see a doctor within a month or now you call income and if they will even take you, they booked up we are all for a couple of months, we cannot see you." and i think it is because of the affordable care act and all the im

lou: a few thoughts on president trump rolling back madness of barack obama and the left.same point in mr. obama's presidency he was jet setting around the globe on his infamous apology tour, apologizing to france and europe, claiming the united states had been arrogant in our foreign policy. trump -- well, he's been more productively engaged. while obama was apologize together muslim world stating it was his responsibility as a president -- to fight against negative stereo types of islam. that was president because big number one priority. four years later obama's red line failure assured the now current crisis and worsening crisis in syria that is worsening until vladimir putin and president trump got together today. obama's inaction paved the way for russia to instrayed crimea and ukraine. mr. obama is irrelevant today. obama is irrelevant. let's hope so. his failed legacy is being dismantled by president trump while he leads the free world. he's replacing the policy of appeasement with a doctrine of american exceptionalism and a defense of western values and western ci

the president pivoted abruptly and said that barack obama knew about this. he said he simply did not say anything to try and protect the democrats, of course, to hold on to the white house. i think that is the big headline. strong words from president of north korea, as well. he said there would be strong consequences for bad behavior here. no specifics of what that would be, of course. on the eve of the first meeting with the russian president, striking to hear the president not agreeing with his own u.s. intelligence agencies, republicans and democrats alike in the u.s. congress. >> yeah, and jeff, dave here. for those keeping score at home, there was no mention of kim jong-un. no mention of vladimir putin. there was mention of cnn and barack obama. interesting optics there to say the least. let's talk about the setup for that meeting with the russian president. he seemed to be antagonizes him somewhat with this sale of patriot missiles, with the purchase of natural gas to wean them off of oil but not acknowledging that russia was behind meddling in our el

barack obama can speak to things. he can switch into black english. calling it negro dialect is not graceful but he was referring to something that makes a barack obama larger speaker than say george w. bush word david letterman. he is a larger repertoire. he speaks it when he wants to. what he could've said was black english. and yes, to be honest i've known both white and black people have thought there something wrong with the former president unfortunately switching between mainstream and black english. people think he's being phony. by people think he's only pretending then that it's condescending to audiences. i've talked with a black correspondent who said he should not talk that way in public at all. that's very interesting. no, he has a larger english and he uses black english with black people. he is by dialects. one more, acts. ask acts. let's face it, the question means black people need to stop that. it's wrong. no. black people use acts because acts as part of the other dialects. why do they say it's not because it's hard if your descend

because barack obama was revered here with people in germany and france.estern europe lien leader, french president, german chancellor to say no to anything that barack obama proposed. >> i don't know if this is the right answer, but if you look at the public opinion polls of president trump, you can see decrease of respect with the rest of the world. you have in france, the last indication is 70% less good feeling about -- >> does that matter? because those are feelings that doesn't drive policies? >> this is important. internationalization of the leaders and the country. and of course, president trump with domestic comblpolitical coo this is good for him to show after a good trip to is paris, because it was the fourth of july. and the one center, troops coming into europe, the french allies, the best one, according to president trump. so i think it's a win-win situation for both presidents. >> thank you very much for coming on the show. it was a pleasure seeing you today and talking to us. thank you. >> thank you. >>> we have a quick programming note on
