for the majority of obama's presidency. black unemployment did not fall below double digits until a seventh year of the obama presidency. i had very bad economically they supported him overwhelmingly he was well-liked personality wise terms of popularity. his economic policies, his stewardship of the economy did not go over well. with blacks or whites. and so i think blacks remember how bad things were. and under trump they sought fatter paychecks for they saw how plentiful the job market was, i think they gave trump credit for that. that is part 2 of the reason i believe he did better in 2020. he was focused on reopening the economy quickly after covid hit. a lot of these i am talking better service sector workers they cannot work from home during the lockdown. and they wanted to get back to work. trump was in favor of reopening the economy. i think that rebounded toam his benefit when it came to 2020 and that's why although he lost the election he did much better among blacks and hispanics particularly among the men and b

until the seventh year of the obama presence. i mean that blacks had it very bad economically under president obama. they supported him overwhelmingly. he was well liked among blacks personality what and among whites and still is he's still pulls very well in terms of popularity but his economic policies his stewardship of the economy did not go over well with blacks or whites. and and so i think blacks remember how bad things were and under trump when they saw their fatter paychecks when they saw how plentiful the job market was. i think they they gave trump credit for that and that's part of the reason i believe he did better in 2020. he was focused on reopening the economy quickly after covid hit and of course a lot of these workers. i'm talking about are service sector workers. they couldn't work from home during the lockdowns and and they wanted to get back to work and trump was in favor of reopening the economy and i think that that redounded to his benefit when it came to to 2020 and that's why although he lost the electio

>> there's this great irony of the obama administration.or closes) he comes in promising to be the climate president; he's going to address these issues. ♪ ♪ and at the same time, we're in the middle of a recession. and one of the few rays of job growth is in oil and gas. (audience applauding, cheering) >> nowhere is the promise of innovation greer than in american-made energy. >> the country down on its heels, and here comes the oil industry, generating lots of oil, generating tax revenue. it was a great story for the oil industry to sell. >> over the last three years, we've opened millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration. >> the potential for natural gas was huge. >> we have a supply of natural gas that can last america nearly 100 years. >> when obama said we had 100 years of natural gas, we panicked, because we knew the climate was changing so fast. (audience applauding) >> we didn't take the alternative path of drastically increasing investment in renewables. >> thank you, god bless you, and god bless the united states of amica

i think michelle obama and barack obama shared a bedroom. the bushes. there are stories that donald trump and melania trump did not. it is also described that joe biden does not like to be away from her for more than a couple of days. >> that is true. she is always wondering where she is and when she is coming home. she is central to his being, his every day and he does get a little cranky if she is gone for a couple of days or more. it was a similar situation with the bushes. >> i would describe it as successful. first ladies are not supposed to do anything that will detract from what their husbands are trying to do. everything she has done has been in service of the administration. going out and promoting his agenda. she spent a lot of time in that first year focused on the pandemic and vaccines. she spent a lot of time traveling the country trying to encourage people to get vaccinations and vaccinate their children. she has been promoting the american rescue plan and i think she has even done some of that from the bipartisan infrastructure bill. she

obama's lead on this. i mean firstly, he was such, so on the cutting edge of using social media to reach audiences. you know, she wanted to meet people where they were. so, she was always, you know, getting to young people through whatever social media channel they were using. she went on ellen all the time. she knew that those were the audiences of women who watch ellen, people that she wanted to reach with her policy ideas, and to also shift to culture around issues like a college access, you know, healthier food for children. so, she was really good about that. she wasn't above any of that. and, i think that helped, kind of, also inspired the presidents to get more bold about social media, too. so, he did the between two ferns video, which some of you might remember, you know, to encourage people to sign up for a health care. but then, he also did things like, he did a facebook live video to encourage young people to sign up for facebook. and then, it turns out young people aren't on facebook. so then,

obama's lead on this. so on the cutting edge, she was always getting to young people through whatever social media channel they were using. she went on alan all the time because she knew those hit audience of women who watch alan were people she really wanted to reach with their policy ideas. and often to shift the culture around with college access. healthier food for children. she was really good about that. she is not above any of that. i think that helped also inspire the president's team to get more bold about social media two. is between two funds a video some of you may remember it. [laughter] encouraging people to sign up but we also did things, he did facebook live video to encourage young people to sign up for facebook. then it turns out young people are not on facebook to than he is snapped at her kimber what it's called now something like that. remind young people to fill out the fafsa form pretty went to places where they were. at one point we had a day were here's interviewed by bunch of yout

prince though, is that certainly a wall, obama in the obama administration, there was a talk of the pivot to asia. certainly under the, by an invited administration. there's a very clear recognition that china's the quote unquote pacing thread. and again, whether we'll see a significant change as a result of the conflict crane or not. certainly, i think the rhetoric and the, the by the administration's been very, very consistent that the u. s. is attention really should be on china. but mr. mcg, i and there are a lot of analysts, even here in russia has adjust that indirectly. this conflict may be beneficial to china because americans keep talking their talk are the ability to actually address what they see as china's problem is now curtail a significant extent. do you agree with that? well, i can certainly see why some people would say that, but i think that one thing we should bear in mind too is china's rhetoric. and i will say behavior has been consistent over decades, and that alignment is arouse the central idea. the peaceful development really has to be the goal. and corollary to t

you know, president obama to times, reputed to him said, never underestimate. joe is ability to add things up. but, you know, as we've seen with, with crawl from afghanistan, certainly, i think the verdict on the western response to russia is the russian creating conflict. i think still remains to be seen. i do disagree with a lot of the western narrative that this is proven to be a colossal failure on the part of russia. i think that it's probably too early to tell. ready you know, we have to see, i think what difference though is that certainly, while obama in the obama administration there was a talk of the pivot to asia, certainly under the, by, in the, by did ministration. there is a very clear recognition that china is the pacing threat. and again, whether we'll see a significant change as a result of the conflict crane or not. certainly, i think the rhetoric and the bi demonstrations been very, very consistent that the u. s. is attention really should be on china. but mr. mark, i, there are a lot of analyst, even here in russia who said just that indirec

out obama's presidency really coinciding the iphone being debuting just a few months into the obama presidency arguably both those being kind of transformative events in in the modern presidency. so, how does that how does that connect with this new reality that christian is also describing which is one where polarization means it's very hard for presidents to define leading except in a very fragmented way the way in which we all experience the media world at this point. yeah, and thank you susan. and and i think that's an interesting segue because what i want to discuss on christmas talking about we could spend all day arguing which came first the polarization or the new media which is affecting whom but but ultimately the polarization is sort of an effect into it, but you mentioned the iphone just from my own personal experience. i was a young speech writer for vice president gore at the very end of the clinton years my first day at work. they handed me a beeper and the beeper from white house communications agency. would you know for people don't know what that is, it would like vibrate or

obama in her speech to bowie state university students challenges them in a way only misses obama can do to make education a priority and to set an example for those who will follow them. when it comes to getting an education. too many of our young people. just can be bothered. today instead of walking miles every day to school. they're sitting on couches for hours playing video games watching tv. instead of dream and of being a teacher or lawyer business leader, they're fantasized and about being a baller or rapper. right now right now one in three african american students are dropping out of high school. only one in five african americans between the ages of 25 and 29 has gotten a college degree. one in five but let's be very clear today getting an education is as important if not more important than it was back when this university was founded. as my husband stand up and reject the slander that says a black child with a book is trying to act white. reject that in short be an example of excellence for the next generation and do everything you can to help them understand the power a

obama lee? you up with a walk and back to world report with andy mach, senior research fellow at the center of fort china and globalization. mr. mall before the break, we were talking about these different ontological philosophical approaches between china and the west. and it also has very practice locations, i think, many countries and, but especially china, very sensitive, very attuned to sort of ordinary features of life. you know, poverty or living standards, you know, providing for the people. whereas many in the west have taken the prosperity that they had over the last couple of take it for granted. now that these changes start to pack them as well. and you know, people are seeing them of the palms they're seeing in the supermarket. do you think, how, how much longer do you think there was get afford to maintain this, you know, godly attitude towards the rest of the world and seeing itself as the only dispenser of common? good. well, this is exactly, but i think the world that we're faci

so again i don't think this looks good for president obama.nk he ought to change the narrative. >> eric holder seven he was the attorney general he regretted, he knew about this warrant that was used to essentially spy on a reporter. he knew about it, he signed off on it said is one of his biggest regrets. again, you want talk about correct on the free press that's exactly they're trying to do. but jimmy, to this point, this is a desperation is the worlds worst cologne which you should know. [laughter] rex i don't know do think it's worse than the heineken i smell like right now? [laughter] anakin and lobbyist money. >> the floor of a frat house. >> please get him some hand sanitizer. but they are desperate because these social media platforms have been acting as censorship surrogates for politicians. you're starting to see cracks in it. especially with elon musk stepping up to buy twitter and cracks in standing up for the censorship of the "new york post" and all of the covid lies that they tried to peddle to the american people. the left is

in 2009, after the obama administration started, mrs. obama had come to the national park service and said i would really like to put in a kitchen garden. can i do this? she was told. yes she can do this. this is her garden. her grounds. so in 2009, mrs. obama started the white house kitchen garden. she really wanted to start a conversation. a national conversation on nutrition, and children's health. so this garden was started a year before. it was the basis of her signature let's move program. so i am going to tell you a little bit about my experience in the garden, and how the previous first lady would work, and have events in the garden. the gardening year started every year in the spring, where she would come out and with school kids and they would plant the spring vegetables. so here is a school group that came out, she really wanted the kids to do the work. park service staff. first lady's office staff would set everything up. the kids would did the work. as you can see, it wasn't perfect. there is some mismatches there. but she d

a there's a lot of similarity between divide and administration and the obama administration . their rhetoric is similar. there are a lot of, you know, the same people working for that administration. and yet, it is my perception that during the obama administration, while all those tensions were still present in your brain and sarah, in many other parts of the world, that the obama nutrition still managed to avoid bringing it to such an acute blow out. that may be wrong. i what i want to ask is whether you see any difference between the obama administration and the vitamin administration and the ability to predict and strategize about how they deal with russian. well, i think certainly there is significant overlap between the obama administration and buy it into ministration. as you say, i think the world use probably a lot to different. i think maybe there has been some difference in terms of the execution of the number of those policies. you know, president obama to time was reputed to him, said, never underestimate goes ability to ask things up. but, you know, as we've seen

clinton into the obama white house. >> one of the most interesting things that emerged is that obama was told about this but was told in 2016 he was told in the white house this was all brought up by hillary to distract from the e-mail scandal. >> what we have learned is there is very few people managing either party. a few people make the decisions and when you have people like hillary clinton and barack obama, they are very involved. joe biden is a puppet. and these two people the party was theirs. and have had a run for half a century and barack obama knew his trajectory for decades. none of this has been natural so of course they will be involved that ideological ones. but he liked other ones more. so this is what you have a dynamic where the american people really did know. there is a point where you can't help yourself for some people it might be normal to say the truth she was in charge of the campaign they needed this kid now suddenly on this is happening and he feels compelled to tell the whole truth. it might be shocking but it just means we have to remain involved in look

it is probably obama and that bunch. with the republicans, the economy was going and going when trump was in there. people were working. you cannot even find people to work now because they are living off the government. it sounds like it is a bolshevik country, not a free country anymore. the bolsheviks have gotten in. joe mccarthy was right. the communists are going to take over this country if we do not watch out. they are doing it. they have done it. host: let's listen to the president at the news conference he held this morning with the japanese leader. he was asked about prospects of a recession and what that might do to the economy. here he is. [video clip] >> is a recession in the united states inevitable? >> no. >> why not? >> you're talking about the significant progress we have made in making sure we do not have supply chain backups come about the 8000 jobs created through georgia, 3000 jobs in texas through samsung, $17 billion investment. 1700 jobs in north carolina on technology. the situation where we have

a barack obama themed cereal called obama o's, like cheerios. we called it the breakfast of change. we learned about john mccain, the captain of the navy, we called it captain mccain's. we made this funny looking cereal boxes and we ended up selling $30,000 worth of collectible breakfast cereal, and that was originally how we funded the company. now it is late 2008. we are desperate. we have launched three times. no one is using it. i'm thinking to myself, i wonder if mark zuckerberg or steve jobs ever had to hot glue cereal boxes in their living room. the answer was no. they hadn't done it. this was a foreboding sign. i'm going out to dinner at a thai restaurant in san francisco with the founders of y combinator, and they said, "you guys should join y combinator." because you guys are dying, and i said it was too late because we already launched. paul graham allowed us to apply, we actually got and we missed the deadline. we got an interview and that is when paul graham said, you know, first question, people are actually doing this? i said yes, and he goes, what's wrong with them?

i've already pointed out the result has been president obama being elected twice getting his campaign started here. but you take a community like waterloo islands where the black mayor was reelected and now also has a majority african-american city council. you go to the small town of west liberty where the entire city council is going to be a black mexican community. there's just this past year with our local city council school board and mayoral elections there is a record number of communities of color, people of color running for office and the vast majority of them winning so that gets back to the success that we had. also i point out on the first black chair of either major party in iowa. i'm also currently the first african-american representative from my county and my city. i'm the first, i have the distinction of having served as the first black mayor of the city. so bwe build upon that growing diversity and the issues the diverse community space across the country we face them here and iowa as well but iowa has led and the nation has followed and we said that the black man b

i have already pointed out the result has been president obama getting elected twice. you take a community like waterloo, iowa. he has the whole african-american city council. you go to a town like west liberty. the entire community is from the latin x community. just this past year with our local city council school board and mayoral election and people of color are running for office and most of them winning. that gets back before the success that we had and point out the statement. the first black chair of the major party here in iowa. i'm the first african-american representative from my county and city. i'm the first -- i have the distinction and honor of severing as the first black mayor of iowa city. we build upon that growing diversity and issues that diverse communities face across the country. we face them here in iowa as well. the nation has followed. we said, a black man, barrack obama could be and should be president of the united states. we lead iowa saying that love is love and who you chose to marry and start a family with is up to you and the rest of t

exhibited annoyed obama. it wasn't a matter of disliking joe is a person. it's just like, he put his foot in his mouth again, stepping on message. after a while, quite remarkably, biden started turning his gaffes into something endearing. then he started wearing sunglasses, aviator glasses. then, i think he did well with some of the comedy skits with barack obama, as cool joe in his hot rod car. they started creating a dog and pony show. we started working with some synchronicity. if they needed each other. their personalities are very different. barack obama and does not like error. he particularly will be hard on himself if he says something verbally explosive. when he talks, you can see him writing the words in his mouth in a deliberate fashion. where biden, if allowed to freelance off the teleprompter's, is apt to go in any direction. they have very different political styles. >> could you see the aging process in joe biden? >> oh, there is no question. this is not the same joe biden of, you know, 2008. i

president obama helped 500 who are serving life without parole.he showed good grace, mercy and willingness to exercise his power as has been done by other presidents of the united states. president abraham lincoln issued 64 pardons to federal soldiers. president johnson with officials and voters after the civil war. president jimmy carter granted to hundreds of thousands. in 1971 the united states began a war called the war on drugs and at the commencement millions had been arrested, charged, indicted and a majority of which were latinos were african-american. they've exercised the power to pardon people and an act related to war by the united states. some were deemed controversial and some necessary. the war on drugs, controversial, necessary could be arguments for both sides. what we do know is it was a war that wasn't thought out, was racially biased and has heard black and brown communities more than its helped them and at times we've needed sidewalks, roads, better schools we got more prisons into the time we need mentors and teachers we got

president obama won the white house by 8 million vote margin.me to office with hopes and dreams. in fact, upon his inauguration january 2009, democrats held the white house -- for the first time since 1993. they even had a filibuster proof senate majority. that would've been the perfect time to protect the landmark -- for the decades long -- to undo it. but they didn't do it. they didn't do that. they didn't pass that bill. then, in the 2010 midterms, democrats got crushed and never again had that large majority. so, why don't they try to do it when they had the power? perhaps, they didn't notice that republicans had pushed, since the reagan years, to overturn roe. or maybe they took it easy, underestimating, as i always, do the ability of republicans to manipulate the political system to get what they want. obama's vice president, joe biden, was clear in his support for the roe v. wade, even though he's a practicing catholic and doesn't personally support an abortion. then vice president, is now president joe biden, and sadly, he doesn't have t

president obama was the first president to tweak, so we developed this agreement to capture those.he concerns during the trump administration. susan: can there be such a thing as too much? david: we have developed guidelines about archiving social media. within the national archives, agency services, people who work closely with records officers in each agencies. the process of developing record schedules, they work closely with my staff to determine what is being created, how they are being retained in the agencies. how much of them are of legal and historic value. susan: what about security issues. david: some have gotten scarier. physical security has always been a problem. internal theft problems. those kinds of security things have continued to be on my radar screen. we have insisted on exit screening of staff, those folks are responsible for working in facilities to ensure processes are up-to-date in terms of screening. also, screening tradeshows, ebay where documents are being sold for things that may have gotten away from us. susan: is this one of the things? david: bigger

i think it is a bigger story than reaction to barack obama, the proof is when you look other western countries were style of politics has been on the rise some cases before us and in some cases accelerating substantially after, the right wing populism broadly defined has been on the march across central and a westn and eastern europe and the uk for some time and like a lagging indicator of the direction of western democratic politics culturally but jonathan alluded to the tea party, it's one thing the media has been up front looking back on coverage of the tea party, there were a lot of candidates who put their names on the ballot in 2010 "afterwards" who sincerely believe in theal written spendia and hated aca and other obamaer era policies but whether voters really motivated by a profound ideological opposition to expanded government spending? some, some were motivated by other darker stuff. >> i guess was different is it okay to remove it. >> that is something trump did. >> he removed both sides, the pretense that it's not about race and identity and that they care about spending

. >> we had president barack obama.ted the affordable care act. >> hannity: reaction founder the other larry elder along with fortner senior counsel the president trump kellyanne conway is with us. i really go to abc bay heart my news and information kelly and i think she's got it backwards is a typical day for her. but there is a reality here and that is that this is failing on a spectacular level. it is now impacting two-thirds of the country but it's really impacting everybody. i see no even openness to consider getting out of the problems are causing. >> that's right no course correction sean this is very true donald trump versus. 50 year low unemployment forty-year high inflation inflation under joe biden. low poverty rates records. they're doing no good by telling america don't believe what you see believe what we say. and that's on america as a cause and effect going on here they have no incentive i think to get out other than to insult. hillary ever redeemable so this is no laughing matter. the omega for the dem
