the question is, i mean, was england post-gender with margaret thatcher? indira gandhi, was in the a post-gender when bolivia elected its first working class president, where the post-class? i mean, it is a reflection of the dichotomy. the movement -- you cannot deny the accomplishments of the movement. the human rights movement, which we need to begin talking about more, and malcolm x began to increasingly before he was assassinated, but the thing is, these smokescreens get thrown at us, and we fall over and over again. happen with clarence thomas in a certain way, right, you know? in a more evil way, many of us have gotten comfortable because rock is in the white house, but he cannot be most effective unless we are on his ass, right? we voted, so i will go home now, and see you in four years. the republicans, the tea party, all these folks, they are on his ass, so if you believe that all that there is power in that position, and there are folks that make convincing arguments about a black face on white supremacy, so there is complications, but can progre

reality, you can't change but i'm from a place called manchester and in my days of schooling when margaret thatcher appeared on the scene, people thought the north of england could never change and we would just have this slow death because of the end of shift building but it's not true. we have a very flexible labor force in the u.k. we've got a new challenge going on with our own post credit crises going on. the u.k. is a very flexible economy where the labor force is just to the sharks. that's what unfortunately needs to be done. of course it's a challenge for everybody to adjust it. that's what you have to do. nerd for -- in order for the world to progress we have to let some things go. >> charlie: what are the political implications for all th, especially for this country which has been on top so long. >> i'd like to see president obama say how do we adjust before he says how do we compete. which is a simple difference. i will never forget having a rather lively exchange with larry summers in the days before larry became chief economic advisers. one of larry ups things to me was future u.s. po

what they've done is drawn a comparison because margaret thatcher was invited and john major were invited and they're garter knights. that is in the gift of the queen. there is a connection there. the other connection is john major, when diana died, was a guardian to william and harry on legal affairs. so there is another reason why he's there. the other two, blair and brown are not garter knights. no reason why they should be there. and they're not friends. >> so i shouldn't be offended if i wasn't invited or dan wasn't invited back in new york. >> no. >> dickie, we'll see much more of you this week. to new york for the other headlines this morning. john berman is in for ron claiborne. good morning, john. >> thanks, good morning, everyone. >>> the obama administration is urging yemen to move swiftly on a tentative deal to transfer power. yemen's embattled president agreed to step down in 30 days and hand power to his deputy in exchange for immunity from prosecution. president saleh has been a key ally in battling al qaeda. >>> syrian secret police reportedly raided homes of secret protes
