lou: joining us now, michael goodwin, today, in ferguson, we heard reverend al sharpton stand up and about i think incredibly eternal decent value that have been absence from the discusdis-- discussion in fergun since michael brown was shot. what did you think of the reverend's departure, from my expectations? >> i agree. i thought he was in danger of becoming an outside an tate -- agitatagitateer. which is what he was doing there. i think today was more of a grown up moment for him. a moment he talked about issues that were not just relateed to this case. but to the larger urban culture, to the issues there. i wish high would continue that vein of thought when he comes back to new york. in new york for example, naacp is fighting charter schools with the teacher unions, the teacher union is responsible for worse school in new york city, charter schools break the model motorola with black -- the mold with brack and latino children. >> nonsense that emanates whether it be in new york school district or with many challenges, no question, from washington d.c. from this president. who sho

joining me now, michael goodwin and doug schon, thank you both for being here. let's turn to these numbers. first, this is devastating for the white house and i can't imagine the president wouldn't publicly react with some sort of statement given detention for foreign policy, there seems to be one necessary for this entire administration. >> those numbers are extraordinary and i've never seen anything like it for any politician on any level on any issue. 18%, 15%, 14%, this is simply unprecedented in the modern era. but i would say that just watching the president today in the way that he approaches all of that long list of topics that he raised, he is giving up and he's heading off to play golf and on vacation and it's just a sense that he is not going to engage and he's not going to do anything he doesn't want to do. so he will find something with the executive orders, trying to gin up the executive base of the midterm, but he has stopped being president. >> sadly he is still president and therein lies the problem. he is not seeking to make policy. he's not ab

. >> michael goodwin joins us now. woodrow wilson played golf. eisenhower loved golf.resident is in the job. he seems almost fixated on playing golf. >> his speech was good. it showed he was emotional. >> i don't think it was a good speech. but then, there is no action. to get back on the golf course within minutes, i think showed a callousness that goes beyond the routine. i personally believe this president doesn't care anymore. i believe he's sort of fed up with the job, he's frustrated. he's failing. and i think he's just kind of checked out. so playing golf is his pleasure. he likes the perks of the job, but you look at the problems in the world, you look at the problems in the country, he's simply not acting as a president who wants to get things done. >> at the very least, he should tell the photographers, not today. don't show up. 'cause he was laughing. >> you can't do that. that's the great thing about the american press is that we do have access. it is accepted that we will have access, but to show the president minutes after the foley beheading to be doing

one was -- i thought it was funny but michael goodwin in "the post" said this, i like this, even the president's media guard were appalled. and that's usually what he has. he usually has people everywhere and then i read a political piece where they said, you know what? the president needs to decompress. when he is at work, he's doing so much trying to bring congress together. >> it's very stressful. you have seen how he's gotten. >> stressful fund-raising? every night having three to four fund-raisers? >> what is stressful, you can't get that little golf ball in the hole. >> is that why he's gray? >> anyway -- we have the medal of honor here. we are making weight. you go ahead. >>> we'll tell you about the geopolitical news. the british officials believe they identified the map who killed james foley. the person who beheaded foley in a video released by isis last week had an apparent british accent. meantime, a different terror group released an american that was held for two years. the american air strikes continue. that's great news, by the way. continuing in iraq, the u.s. carrie
