peter: we know barack obama can deliver a good address, but what about his policies? there a coherent body of achievements that can be described as obama-ism? melissa: the biggest, i would say, would be the health care policy, which republicans are intent on taking a wrecking ball two, which will be a test of where the country is at. republicans are saying they will replace it, take down or take apart obamacare, but replace it with something better. at this point, however, they have not said what that something better is. everyone is still waiting, but everyone knows it is easier to tear something down than to build something up. it's really going to be a test to see what that means for beple and will people willing to give up something that for a lot of people, they have come to understand. you do not need to to anybody in germany or the rest of the world what it means to have health care, but i have a lot of friends from my generation who worked as freelancers or went from job to until obama brought in the affordable care act, also known as obamacare, they never had

david maraniss, barack obama, the story. thank you for being with us on booktv. if you write the first paragraph today of the obama presidency. >> a wistful sensation to listen to that election night address by then president obama. and think about the promise and what has happened since. the only you can say for certain on with that paragraph would include our he was the first black president, took office at a time when the country was in a deep recession and in two wars, and lasted for eight years. everything after that is up for grabs. until this election, it would have included extending health care to millions of americans, and other folks are uncertain because of what happened in the last election. history depends on who writes the history and when that history is written. it might be quite different, might be he was the first of many african-americans, women who became president from then on. and even more important than it does at this point when looking at bill clinton's perspective. >> your book came at the start of his presidency and he wrote the follow

these are all the prototypes that barack obama condemned and michelle obama for that matter.fully embrace them in their administration and don't seem to acknowledge hypocrisy there. >> the effects of president obama's ruinous policies are now coming to light. what we've done i think i may think your presence here is a testament to that is that we've begun a national reappraisal of what's happened. again, sure. a time in 19 months. for many of us, seeing it unfold is not really surprising, right? it's happening exactly as they expect to do but. despite the fact that the elites on the left and the right and many of them misjudges ideally pedigree and a catchy speech in a less catchy for executive leadership ability. the fact of the matter is we elected a man as president who was woefully ill-prepared, unqualified and inexperienced. [applause] >> why are we applauding that? i want to remind all of you that the president's professional resume consisted a sickly of a little more than handing out leaflets on chicago street corners and organizing the occasional anti-capitalist merge

to understand that, we have to ask, what is the legacy of barack obama? lip graham once sid, journalism is the first rough draft of history, that's what we tried to put together here, we will show you that love him or hate him, there's little doubt that obama has been one of the most consequential presidents in american history. notice i didn't say successful. time alone can make that judgment. he used his power to make some very big bets. what happens to that legacy if those bets are now undone. we call barack obama our first african-american president because of the color of his skin. in truth, he's biracial. born of an african father a a white mother from kansas. >> theirstine of your biography will be not something you did, but who you are. >> right. >> the first african-american president. and yet, you're half white, raised by three white people, your mother and your two ground parents. >> and an indonesian you can throw in there. >> are you comfortable with their characteristic of you? >> i am, actually. the issue of race in america is not just genet

this is not how barack obama —— temperamentally. — temperamentally. this is not how barack obama wanted to end his presidency, handed over to somebody who has vowed to dismantle and demolish his signature achievements, like health care. but it has been a peaceful transition, americans pride themselves on this and one suspects it will be a civil conversation as they have a chat and a coffee at the white house. it was a nice moment when melania trump arrived at the white house, and the couples were met. we can bring in these pictures from moments ago, of melania trump and donald trump meeting barack obama and michelle obama on the steps of the white house, and melania trump offering michelle obama a nicely wrapped gift, it looked suspiciously like tiffany box to me! a nice gesture, the crowds are gathering and there were tears of invitation to inauguration cheap seats and the less cheap seats! these are people who have come from all over the country, who have long been supporters of donald trump, handing him victory and who believed in

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

the high court's importance to the legacy of barack obama could not be overstated. after the death of antonin scalia, obama nominated merrick garland. but republicans refused to even consider him. so the court became a casualty of the harsh political divide that's dogged the obama years. an eight-person panel split evenly along ideological lines. the issue that became the biggest victim of that split, immigration. unable to get any legislation through congress, the president issued an executive order to keep millions of people from being deported. but when that order was argued before the supreme court, the eight justices divided along party lines, of course. >> this is part of the consequence of the republican failure so far to give a fair hearing to mr. merrick garland, my nominee to the supreme court. >> as with guns, the executive order had become his only way to get things done. >> to those members of congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better, or question the wisdom of me acting where congress has failed, i have one answer. pa

barack obama should die of mad cow disease and michelle obama should go back to africa. all of that is equally bad. but when somebody you don't like says something you don't like, you deflect it. after the break, ted cruz, chris christie, ben carson, mike huckabee, they all thought they could beat trump and win the nomination. howie: it seems like another era. but there were plenty republicans who thought they had a good shot at donald trump. but as a leading candidate don't you need to be able to withstand tough scrutiny? >> sure, that goes with the territory. but no republican running should not be confused and think the mainstream media are our friends. the "new york times" wants hillary clinton to be the next president. and every day from now until the election day, they will push stories advancing that. there is a reason necessity don't like the mainstream media because they are partisan liberal democrats. almost without exception. they have a partisan agenda. howie: almost without exception. i heard you say the media stereotyped republicans in being stupid or evil.

howie: whether barack obama could have beaten donald trump is hypothetical. know. was this an ungracious thing for obama to say? >> it was a dis at hillary clinton. she blew it. i would have had a more articulate message she never had. and i'm the better democrat than hillary clinton. i took that as a slam towards her. we can't forget about barack obama's legacy on his own party. he left his party decimated. howie: it won't be good for democratic party as you just cited. if he had been able to run, he would have been attacked in the last 18 months. we had a campaign that was sort of an anger-filled campaign and the incumbent president seems to be leading on a wave of moderately good poll numbers. >> the responsibility of the media in covering an outgoing president. in the case of president obama, our first african-american president, and high approval ratings. but this approval rating don't match the way things are going in the economy. a lot of people were left out of the so-called economic recovery. and i think that deserves adequate coverage. howie: after 8 years

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

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

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

now, msnbc's own rachel maddow who, fun fact, launched her tv show on this network days after barack obamad the democratic anonymi nomination for president in 2008. i was thinking about you today. your show, your position hosting the show you host sort of perfectly aligns with the arc of basically the obama presidency, just a little before. you've watched american politics transform, watched american politics go crazy sometimes. what is your takeaway? what is your characterization? how will history understand the obama era? you know, chris, it's -- thank you for putting it that way. that makes me feel more important than i am, it has to be said. but i remember picking out the graphic treatments, what the backgrounds would look like and stuff for this show off my blackberry while i was at the convention that eventually nominated him to be the democratic nominee for president and i remember at that convention one of the controversies was that he was too small "p" popular. that he gave that big nomination speech, accepting the nomination on a stage that people felt was too grand. that there w

barack obama did it in charleston and other places after the shootings. that emotional connection which has to do with familiy an a larger commonality of the american experience is something that's very important for every president and it's not at all clear that donald trump has that capacity. >> i have to tell you i feel like i remember watching trump on election night, and i feel like i saw a little piece of it. would you agree? people were waiting to pounce, frankly, and then he -- people were waiting to pounce. >> there's very little in his life that shows it. i don't think you'll see that between he and his wife. she might not even come to washington. and his children, he gets praised for raising his children. we'll see how thatlaysut in terms of his businesses and their involvement in the presidency. there are just a lot of questions there and you can only hope for the best. >> two different men here. i should end with the book, an easy question for you maybe, maybe not, what's your biggest takeaway? you mentioned the fact his try will look back ki

barack obama was not. but the dignity in which you carry yourself in the office.onald reagan, george h.w. bush, none of them perfect but there's a dignity they carried with themselves in office. and the difference between now and 2009, think we're waxing poetic about barack obama on the way out. 2009 night before inauguration attended a bipartisan dinner for john mccain and called him american hero and patriot. don't see that happening tonight with the president-elect. >> you have to remember there were a lot of ups and downs with president obama and we're focusing on a lot of the positives i think because he's leaving and the contrast with trump and approval started going up a lot in the election because people looking even at hillary clinton and options they have, hang on, maybe not so bad with barack obama. but he also has a fundamentally good temperament, a calm person. been criticized for it but bore fruit in this situation. way he thought it through, realized when it happened and behaved in a way, lot of us wondered could i be so gracious to someone who trea

es donde saldrÁ barack obama y michelle obama.anca, donde tendrÁn estos momentos de tÉ y cafe. >>> intimidad. >>> y el presidente electo que va a cambiar todo en horas, aqÍi en washington dc y mÁs o menos 2 horas y media. va a cambiar y donald trump se convertirÁ en presidente de estados unidos. >>> aquÍ el gran reto es la seguridad, cada ceremonia inaugural tiene sus retos, su personalidad por decirlo asÍ en el 2005 george w bush tenÍa el reto que habÍan pasado los ataques del 911. y en el 2011 barack obama enfrentaba amenazas de odio racial. y sabemos que donald trump estÁ enfrentando el reto de muchas amenazas por diferentes grupos y por eso dicen que este es el mayor reto que ha tenido los cuerpos de seguridad en una toma de posesiÓn en la historia. >>> y ya estamos viendo, precisamente. justo en el Área de la casa blanca, donde estÁ la plaza lafayette angie sandoval, adelante. >>> gracias josÉ y marÍa ce leto vemos en pantalla la caravana con el presidente electo donald trump y su esposa, llegando a la casa blanca para compar

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

>> by now, her husband barack obama was senator barack obama, and he had his sights set on the whiteouse. >> michelle gave up a big career, but there is nothing to compete with this historic opportunity for those who sense that they can be a part of of history. >> she is the love of my life, the rock of our household. >> when you strip away princeton and harvard and all those wonderful degrees and accomplishments, deep down, i'm just a girl who grew up in the south side of chicago. >> candid and confident, qualities instilled in her by her parents went a long way have -- with voters on the campaign trail. >> because every time in my life, when i tried to do something, there were people around telling me why i couldn't. >> and mrs. obama was a bridge to african american women, in ways like no one else who came before her. >> my question to you all is, can we do this? >> even early in her husband's political career, her style earned her the nickname, "the closer." >> can we do this? [ crowd chants yes we can ] >> she's a closer. she's going to stand up there and get right down to the b

you can't get away from the criticism of barack obama, which has been he has beena barack obama, which been he has been a president with so many promises that hasn't necessarily brought many to the front, and one of the big things, the massive things, one was gun control, which he hasn't been able to do, and secondly, they probably tie into each other, the fact he wanted to change how washington worked, he wanted to change the red tape and how easy it was to push these skills through. and of course he has found, like so many others before him, that once you get into power it is so much more difficult to get things done than it looks from the outset. and we wonder whether that will be different this time around because the republicans have the majority in both houses? donald trump has used the phrase on the drained swamp, and it remains to be seen. there is so much self interest. every democratic government that has a civil service thatis government that has a civil service that is always there despite whichever party is in power, they are the ones running the day—to—day business and th

become accustomed to it, is change. >> there's a whole generation of individual who is grew up on barack obamat's the only president they've ever known. he served admirably for figt err years. he had no senior level executive officials who have been indicted, who have been convicted of anything. it's no drama obama. i know that that bar is really low but -- >> i was about to say -- >> you look at bill clinton, george w. bush, at h.w. bush, ronald reagan, richard nixon, they all had executive level officials who were indicted for a particular crime. barack obama leaves this white house scandal free. even more importantly, there are a ton of people who are going to recognize tomorrow when barack obama leaves in his marine one, i believe called executive one, leaves with a 60% approval rating. donald trump tomorrow has the lowest approval rating of any president-elect in modern history. his task is to begin to unite the country, something he hasn't been able to do throughout the campaign, but we can't deny that he comes in here with the backing of very few people in this country. >> so let me ask

barack obama becomes the 44th president of the united states. >> i barack hussein obama do solemnly swearde the first lady who makes it clear she will put parenting before politics. >> i had to juggle being mom in chief and having a career for a long time. the primary focus for the first year will be making sure the kids make it through the transition. >> presidents and their wives tend to neglect their children frankly because they are so power-obsessed and so obsessed with the long road to get elected that the children often suffer. this is not the case with the obamas's children. >> she wanted her children to still be able to live their lives. i think what the obamas found out is that's not entirely possible. they are very young and starting a new school. she wanted to just take them there in the mornings. for her to take the kids to school meant there had to be cars and security. there were traffic issues. >> instead sasha and malia just 7 and 10 went off to school with secret service agents and mrs. obama's mother. >> raising our girls in the white house with my mom -- i'm not going
