when you look at the fact that he has appointed an african-american, eric holden, who will deal with protecting civil rights in blacks in the works place and the arguments with a23ir78 tifa. when we look at the fact that hes a drissed the naacp. so i think there is a difference between trying to make the president an activist lead sbeg dealing with the tollcy. bill clinton who had a policy of welfare reform, and a better policy than barack obama, i don't understand how one can say that. when you look at the fact that this president has said we must deal with unploemts across the board, the worst thing that can happen is they make the jobs to give them conservatives a way to willie horton us. i hope the president does not go for that bait. >> i'm not suggesting that bill clinton's policies for positive. however, barack obama has instituted a set of policies negative to the black people. this year, $85 million were cut from the education budge as an example. >> larry: we will be right back. tightness in my chest came back- i knew i had to see my doctor. he told me i had choices in cont

pakistan in october with serious concerns that even if additional troops are able to clear the enemy and holden area, even in limited areas where we will operate, unless we are able to build the transferrer leadership to local afghans, unless the government is in place where risks squandering time and time again. and right now our military will tell us in many places that tripartite capacity is not there. there are three principal conditions that i still believe must guide the tasking of additional troops. first, are there enough reliable afghan national army and police forces to partner with american troops and eventually take over responsibility for security? the president has recognized the critical importance of speeding up training and mentoring and to date we have struggled to do so on the skill required and i look forward to hearing your plans today to increase that training capacity and quickly moved afghan security forces into the center of the fight. second, or their local lafta and leaders with whom we can partner? we have to be able to identify and cooperate with tribal districts an
