we have barack hussein obama, biray shall son of a kenyan man.nd the butler is the number one move i have in america two weeks in a row. is this proof we have achieved biracial securities in america? >> i think you know that answer to that. of course not. there's a black woman who is the first lady of the country, but there is also a set of con scripted narratives about her rise to her position, and whether or not she could actually be a lady when she first made it into office. her popularity was not without contestation. we are certainly seeing black women make major gains in media. you see oprah, and ava who was named the best female director at sun dance last year, and we have serena and venus. so you do see black women breaking down barriers, but by contrast, last night on the mtv vma's we had miley cyrus on stage, slapping black women on the rear, appropriating forms of black dance culture in the most obscene ways. so i think that there's contestation about -- about the progress on all sides so that it seems on the one hand we make two steps

. >> i barack hussein obama do solemnly swear -- >> and african americans do routinely hold top posts like secretary of state, attorney general, national security advisor. top corporations like merck, american express, mcdonald's and xerox have had or have now black ceo's. oprah winfrey is america's second black billionaire, following in the footsteps of publishing mogul robert l johnson. african americans are among the country's top sports stars and celebrities in fields one restricted by racing, swelling the ranks of black millionaires. yet in other ways america is far from king's dream. racial divides persist in income, educational achievement, and poverty. question, are we less conscious of race today than in 1963, more conscious of race today, or are things about the same? pat buchanan. >> i think we're probably more conscious right now, john, but i was at the march on washington. i was up there in the lincoln memorial when dr. king gave that address. and it was a moment really when the cresting of the civil rights movement, it was right within the same year after oxford, mississ

barack hussein obama, almost dericively as if his middle name should mean something wrong with him. ted cruz has a full name, ted rafael cruz and no one points to him that he come partially from cuban descent. that's the difference. there was a legal question about his birth. that question has been answered and people ought to move on. the fact is, people like stockwood and others still haven't moved on from the question that has been asked and settled about president obama. >> and we are not flirting with birther i. we are talking about hypocrisy. they should not get confused. and we're talking about a man who has made a career pandering to the far right. listen to what he said when he was asked last night about impeaching president obama. >> the only reason not to impeach the president is because it wouldn't get through the senate can cruz really be surprised when he says things like that? >> i'm really not surprised. what we're seeing with senator cruz in setting up his path for the presidency is a lot like what he did with his senate path. which is curtailing his comments to tha

people, not only in the united states but on thissate, god's earth that felt that president barack hussein obamayou can say hussein now -- that when he got elected, automatically, racism would be irradicated like that because we were now in the post-racial -- >> john: have a lot of conservative white people telling me that tule. >> i think history has proven that was a fallacy. and racism is interwoven to the very fabric of our american flag. and it's a ways away but it's bubbling. so when something happens, whether it be o.j., trayvon, whatever it is, then it blows up , anderson cooper is having a town meeting. we talk about it. go home. >> john: we have the dialogue. >> we have the dialogue. and then it's like well, let's chill until the next blowup happens. >> john: until another president says we need a dialogue on race. >> yes. here's the thing though. look, i'm not a historian. people who study this much more than me. but it is my opinion, ask people in this country until we deal with slavery, nothing is ever going to change. until we get to the nitty-gritty of slavery in this country, to

hussein. barack obama does not want to topple assad because they're very worried if they do there will be a vacuumn syria and it will become a failed state and al qaeda could take over. they're really not trying to get assad out. >> tell us about the point you make about limited engagement. we heard that before. we heard it from president bush. we're hearing it where we expect the president will say this is a very limited situation. >> remember back at that time george w. bush mustered 130,000 troops by the time he made that speech to the american public. in this case you've got maybe five slips off the coast of syria. you have no boots on the ground and it really is an operation that experts expect will last two or three days and twhants it to they want it to be done by the time the president leaves next week. there's always the risk if he uses chemical weapons again, we're going to find ourselves right back where we are now trying to prevent him from killing his own people. >> we heard this many, many times talking about the coalition of the willing here really trying to drum up as much support

. >> i, barack hussein obama -- >> reporter: so when the first black president stands on the steps of the lincoln memorial today in the same place as dr. martin luther king jr., there will be great expectations. >> everyone is just so excited about it. >> he needs to stress that the work of the civil rights movement is not finished. >> reporter: aides admit the president feels the pressure. during a radio interview tuesday, mr. obama tried to lower the anticipation. >> it won't be as good as the speech 50 years ago. >> are comparisons inevitable? sure. but i think he's looking forward to the opportunity. >> reporter: this top adviser says the president's remarks will focus on progress made and challenges that lie ahead. >> i think as the original speech was about not just civil rights, but it was about jobs. i think he'll talk about that. i think it will be a message to the next generation. >> reporter: but obama critics called on the president to do more than just talk. >> where racism and poverty are concerned, there is no excuse for this administration not talking about it. we have

senator and soon to be anti-war president barack obama said back in 2006 while touting his opposition to the iraq war -- >> i said then and believe now that saddam hussein a ruthless dictator who craved weapons of mass destruction but posed no imminent threat to the united states. >> so, what changed the president's perspective?
