my book is not about racism, "the obama hate machine." do not say it's all because he's black, but -- because i don't think it is. i don't think everybody who disagrees with president obama is a racist. i do not make that -- i want to be clear, i do not make that accusation in the book, but you cannot deny that part of what motivates people, some people, not to like this president is the color of his skin. there is still latent racism out there and i think that's particularly true among some of the tea party party and you can't deny it, you can't sweep it under the rug. it's a fact, some people are not comfortable with the fact that there's a black man in the white house. host: you write "the greatest challenge of the obama presidency would be dealing with the unprecedented barrage of hate level against him. we have a long way to go to get from the politics of personal destruction." sarah palin delivering these remarks. >> his washington regulatory wizards, they didn't prevent the financial meltdown, these folks have helped cause it and yo

good morning. >> the book is titled "the obama hate machine: the lies, distortions and personal attacksn the president and who is behind them." let's get right into it. you point out no president should be spared criticism. no president has. but the president and his personal attacks at barack obama have been more relentless and uglier than those against any other president in our lifetime. >> in our lifetime. i think since my research at any rate, any other president since abraham lincoln, whom we think of as saint abraham, was not in his lifetime. he was reviled. and i'm glad you started where you did in the sense you and i go to the white house just about every day, right? i love seeing the protesters in front of the white house every day. it sort of reminds me of who we are as americans. criticism of any president is valid and important. i believe in our democracy. but when it gets to be personal, ugly, you know, just vicious personal attacks, that's what i think is wrong. and that's what we've seen against president obama. again, no president since in our lifetime and certainly no

bill press is the author of "the obama hate machine oi.santorum, i thought that was an interesting little moment that he had. you could see with his big smile he was winding up. he has become a very solid candidate in all of this fighting, i think he has emerged the best. >> he had a line ready for you. you played the clip of the newt campaign saying he lost -- trump, saying he lost by 16 points in pennsylvania. i may have lost an election, but one thing i didn't lose was my principles. boy, he had a strong line. i've been trying to andlize why he does strong in some states and not others. >> what is that about? >> i think it's the attire. he wore the sweater vest. he took the bolo tie. >> i would have guessed the bolo tie -- >> it worked. >> i know he did. >> i'm not going to go with the fashion theory of politics. i do think regardless of whether or not you agree with santorum's positions, he is someone who has been very consistent, and i think that there are a lot of voters, not just evangelical voters, but a lot of republican base vote

columnist for national review, and bill press, radio talk show host and author of the new book "the obama hate machine it was because they weren't -- it was because reporters at this level are paid to be better predictors than they were. i would say, yeah, everyone who said he had no chance. however, the financial disparity between the campaigns is so vast, howie, there is good reason to wonder if he is in for the long haul. december 3 1st, he had about $300,000 cash on hand compared to romney. i think it overestimates the importance of money because under funded candidates, mike huckabee come out of nowhere. when santorum did win minnesota, colorado, and -- they didn't even put that story on the front page, i suspect because the decision of made earlier in the evening before these primaries before it was clear. of course, the next day they came back with major shake-up in the race. >> suddenly the miracle of santorum. i think there were a couple of reasons. first of all, i fwrae with lynn. we all under reported rick santorum. >> you plead guilty as well? >> i plead guilty as well. i think a couple of

grio.com and msnbc contributor and bill press, nationally syndicated radio host and author of "the obama hate machineon and personal attacks on the president and who is behind them." great to have you both with us tonight. >> thanks, reverend al. >> perry, republicans just can't let it go, right? this clint eastwood ad i'm talking about. they just can't let it go. >> yes, al. i think at some point the republicans have to concede the president has had some successes. for three years they basically argued everything he's done has been wrong. i think in some way, they have to make a different argument and say here are president obama's values and here is how they are different. it's not working in the light of gm, the unemployment rate, the stimulus going down, osama bin laden. you have to make a different argument for the republicans to win. >> bill, it's a couple of days after the ad and they are still going crazy. look at this reaction again on the ad. this is today's stuff. >> critics say the commercial looks like a blatant promo for the president's re-election campaign. >> to put his face and voice
