i think what he wrote was that obama feared it would be obama's vietnam. and i think you've confirmed that that's true. but the other history that he took, i think and i think he wrote this in the speech he gave at west point was was eisenhower's formulation, which is exactly right, which is that the nation has so many resources as it called political resources, and called economic. you call them energy resources or psychological moral resources, eisenhower said. and i think you had obama quote this in that speech, which is that know he had to choose between how much he spent on the military versus building new schools and and providing, you know, a better life for citizens. and that's effect that what obama took from that and more importantly in some ways what biden took from that. right. because in venice, as he was against the surge decision that was made, biden was really against he was the main voice probably in that room offering skepticism of that thing. and what did he learn from that? this is really interesting. obama had not been in that room bef

certainly kerry did and obama did in 2004 and obama did as president. so can hear in that statistic that he has to overcome a barrier of persuading the public that democrats really want to spend money on programs that programs that are wasteful and programs that will help poor people lift themselves out of poverty, not remain in poverty. and by the way, if you're thinking that there probably was a racial to that, that there were perceptions that were about race and poor people, i think you're right. of course, poor people are more white than any other race. but there's a negative, an unfair steering type that people had. the thing about rhetoric is, one can can decry the unfair stereotype, as i'm sure we do. but obama still had to confront it. so those are the barriers now going to watch about minutes of the speech. and what i want you to do is watch as the audience response builds. and then i want you to think about the strategies that he's. and then we're going to come and i'm going to talk about what happens in the first 10 minutes. and remember, the

not just obama's decision.it was biden's decision. >> if i could add one tiny thing that feeds into all the other topics we could talk about. it wasn't quite so obvious at the time. biden makes his choice, totally agree with everything you said about that. his approval rating if you look at it, it goes down. and yet, he still gets the inflation reduction act, right? i look at that and i say, by the time biden takes office, it drives everything. truly nothing any president does anymore is seen through anything other of the lines of whether he share the party. >> the democrats are afraid to split apart. >> if the inflation reduction act was always going to be in the hands, what does it matter what i do in afghanistan? i can do what i want. some terrible consequences for american policy. the iran deal, the pullout of the deal. inability to critically commit long-term. i don't mean to imply that it's a good thing. i think maybe, i don't even know if it's upside or downside. but the consequence of polarization is, d

obama.rst white house reflections ofs who she was as a person was to write a memoir which was in and of itself is truly phenomenal. packing out huge venues, engagingew people and many wayso her story telling. so yes certainly the importance at large. took some smiling that is when sheon appeared at the american library association today view jthat. it was just electrifying to have her. to have her here. so programming? this is a question that someone wants to know will president obama do storytime? [laughter] okay? >> he did that for the library. you know he's got to do it. [laughter] also told there's going to be many, many hopeful opportunities to signal his readers. i did not what the protocol is yet. we are going to figure it out. [laughter] works the book selection should be very interesting. havee music they also their movie lista and i think that's going to be a chance for us to really think about how we drive visitors to explore this recommendations for explore their own reading jour

we continue our assessment of the presidency of barack obama. i will provide very introductions of our panelists who are joining us this conversation today. they don't really begin to scratch the surface of their bios, as you might imagine. the honorable jacob lue, who served as a 76th secretary of the treasury, as white house chief of staff as the director of the office of managed mint and budget, actually a position that he had previously held in the second term of the clinton administration and as deputy secretary of state for management and resources i welcome secretary lew. peter baker who is working very hard for us today. i think this is your third check on me is the chief white house correspondent for the new york times responsible for reporting on the biden presidency right. now, he previously wrote about president j. trump and barack obama for new york times and presidents bill clinton and george w bush for. the washington post. welcome, mr. baker. welcome back, mr. baker. chris whipple is author, political commentator and documentary

that, obama does not know for doing. that, obama was pretty good about process.again, there are people who felt the boys club around obama. there weren't very many women. the woman did get to play golf with him. my colleague wrote a story about this. suddenly obama invites other women to play golf with him. there was this idea that the people complain about. but broadly speaking, he resected progress. deal with your equities inside the building. by the end of, but he didn't feel like he needed as big as a process as he did. he did at least respected and he wasn't that abuser as the same way other presidents were. >> i think that fair. i actually try to make that point about the transition in 2012 to the second term. i think he has gotten a little bit of a bad reputation for the closed circle. i was quite publicly a supporter of hillary clinton in the primary. i had deep roots in the clinton administration. by the end of the obama administration, he did not let people into the inner circle. i had been there so long that people thought i started out there. i think

obama's global travels. we talk about life at the white house, all the amazing events that happened in that space and also how they opened up the white house more people than ever before. it really is the people's house. then we talk about the living legacy of the president, saying the passing the baton, so to speak, to future generations of young changemakers. so the work of the foundation is ongoing work and we think about the pivotal moment of the president's farewell address when he asked everyone again, step up into the role of, quote unquote, to really the work forward. there is lots of work to be done. as we all know. and i think what we're we're excited to be working on with the center, looking at our public library space and a lot of the spaces that the audience will have in their libraries. so many of us have our makerspace makerspace is or sound recording studios, but i think finding ways to play off of that obama narrative as community organizers really thinking about how that makerspace can be u

obama. tonight, we will hear about the role that the first lady played in supporting president obama's election campaign. advising him during his time in the white house and how she continues to influence american politics today. i want to thank the women in leadership advisory board of hofstra university for co-sponsoring this event, and many of them are with us today. my role this evening is to moderate a panel discussion about with mr. tina tchen, who served as chief of staff to the first lady. from 2011 to 2017. and in conversation with several members of the house, two faculty. so i'll begin with brief introductions. tina tchen currently serves as the executive vice president and chief strategy and impact officer for the obama foundation. she served for eight years in the obama white house, first as the inaugural director of the white house office of public engagement and then as chief of staff to mrs. obama. chen also served as the executive director of the white house council on women

obama? you know, occasionally, there's some accidental collateral damage. obama had seven more years to try and prove why he deserved the nobel prize, which of course he didn't. and did you know, the nominations that year closed just 12 days after obama took office. not long enough for america to start a war, but long enough for israel to have too. i'm just. say now one individual who will never win a prize for peace or diplomacy is president joe biden's younger dog commander, this feisty fellow has just bitten another us secret service agent at the white house. the dog reportedly sniffed the secret service agent's hair aggressively before sinking his teeth into the hapless helper. and it's not the first time. commander has committed at least 11 biting incidents at the white house and in delaware, including one time and off. so was hospitalized after the dog mowed their arms and their thighs. conspiracy theory suggest commanders bite first policy reflects white house thinking in almost every scenario, leading commentators to suggest that commander has actua

here are some of samples from bluewater related biographical comic books of barack obama, michelle obama and even both. i don't want to make it seem like all depictions of the white house anenobama were positive. this is one of myfavorite sequences from a comic called secret war. now seeing the marvel cinematic esident obama -- just to set this up, president obama is workdethe white house and the oval office and next year he, uninvited, shows up the oval offiorthose of you who are manetic universe and you look at this which are of nick fury saying, that's not l.jackson. for us older readers, we the first depiction of nick fury on film was actually david hasselhoff. this is the david hasselhoff version of nick fury, the original one. he shows up in the white house to inform the newly elect did -- elected president obama using a super villain a terrorist. so he is there to inform president obama of what is going on. of course, the president is not that someone just shows up uninvited to his office to him how to do hijob. and he tells nick fury you don't respect the office he wispect the pr

obama, you know, occasionally there's some accidental collateral damage, obama had seven more years to try and prove why he deserved the nobel prize, which of course he didn't, and did you know the nominations that year closed just 12 days after obama took office, not long enough. for america to start a war, but long enough for israel to have two. i'm just saying now. now one individual who will never win a prize for peace or diplomacy, is president joe biden's younger dog commander. this feisty fellow has just bitten another us secret service agent at the white house. the dog reportedly sniffed the secret service agent's hair aggressively before sinking his teeth into the hapless helper. and it's not the first time. commander has committed at least the... 11 biting incidents at the white house and in delaware, including one time an officer was hospitalized after the dog mouled their arms and their thighs. conspiracy theory suggest commander's bite first policy reflects white house thinking in almost every scenario, leading commentators to suggest that commander has actually been in ch

, michelle obama and even bo. bo got his own comic book. now, i don't want to make it seem like all nsof the white e and president obama were . this is of my favorite sequences from a comic book called secret wawhich we're w eing the marvel cinematic untaing to adapt. just to set this , president obama is working inside the white house, inside the oval anfinds nick fury uninvited, just shows up ine oval office. now, i know fothose of you who are marvel cinemati universe fans, you're looking this creature and saying that's not jackson. well, for us older comic book readers, we know that the first depiction of mctheory on film was actually david hassel hoff. so this is the david hassel hoff version of mcfury, the original one. and mcfury shows up in the white house to inform the newly elected president obama that a erican super villains as terrorist. so hees' to inform president obama of exactly what's, and, of course the esent is not that someone shows up unvieted in his office and tells him how to and hetells him

who wa is treasuy secretary to obama.t of the senate to be confirmed as ambassador to israel from the united states. now senator you are on that committee that's reviewing this candidate. what can you tell us about jack lou? >> i opposed his nomination strongly. it's bad for the knights a suspect for israel to have him as our ambassador to the holy land. did not just help implement and champion the nuclear deal with iran, he went above and beyond what was required misled congress to do so. in 2015 he testified to congress that a-rod would not be able to access the financial system. he broke that promise to give a special license to convert on $6 billion in assets in the u.s. dollars they could use it. and then he lied to congress about doing that just a few months later. again that license was over and above anything required by the nuclear deal. it was jack lou going out of his way to help the ayatollah and teran get access to more frozen funds and he lied to congress about it he cannot be trusted on it matters really to

the same players that obama had.ack do you know the history of the democrat party? obviously slavery, segregation, jim crow, but what else? eugenics which was focused on others black americans, let's say a major objective of the so-called progressive movement of woodrow wilson in the democrat party. the opposition to the civil rights act right into the 1960s came mostly from the democrats. and today the democrat party pushes what i call civil rights marxism. it is not about equality it is about equity. and civil rights marxism. so in other words that uses blacks and other minorities to advance in ideology that destroys the family. thapride thatdestroys the black. and destroys our communities and neighborhoods particularly in our inner cities they are run by democrats. many of whom are hard-core radical leftists. what about the asian community? ladies and gentlemen franklin roosevelt rounded up 120,000 japanese americans and put them in internment camps. none of them had done anything. except they were japanese. it wa

this guy mali was head envoy for obama then biden with iran. why would they pick him. head of nuclear tops in vienna where europeans about to host indirectisis negotiation about rhetoricsi resurrecting obama deal. to lift american sanctions on iran and ensure that iran enjoys the benefits it was supposed to enjoy after the deal, trump killed deal, peace broke out biden comes in, even ber h before he was worn in. knabe one statement by abbas iran's lead negotiator in vienna said that american negotiators he claimed already agreed to remove sanction on iran energy econom econom econom economy is -- sector to eliminate all of the economy sanctions on iran, they did it, they got nothing in return. but even israeli have yet to absorb full scope and magnitude of accommodations in iran. not the part that sullivan and blinken are failing to restrain malley but they are marching in lockstep with him, not just on the obama nuclear deal but on every big question of middle east middle east strategy, everyone from president that is biden on down agrees that about the need to comple

the same thing is happening around barack obama, look, a 2-depth rude drowned from obama’s estate, hisghout his presidency, despite the fact that he was a semi-professional rower and an excellent swimmer. in the same way , the director of the gavva state health department died mysteriously. which certified the certificate that obama was born in hawaii, and not in kenya, because there were rumors that obama was actually born in kenya, therefore, did not have the right to be president of the united states states of america, but here, in the end , it turns out that obama also has something to hide, remember the very recent scandalous interview... which the famous tucker carlson took from a certain larry sinclair. remember this information. then i gave obama $250 to buy coke, and when he came back, i made a track on the cd box to make it easier to snort. did all this happen in a limousine? yes, right on the move, or are you parked? no, we continued driving. so, i’m making a new track, so you understand. approximately somewhere here, all sorts of tameki usually begin. i started stroking his

the department of health of the state of hawaii, loretti fundi, who certified the certificate that obamaii and not in kenya, mysteriously died, because there were rumors that obama was actually born in kenya, therefore, had no right to be the president of the united states of america, but here, in the end, it turns out that obama also has something to hide, remember the very recent scandalous interview that the famous tucker carlson took from a certain lari sinclair. remember this information, then i gave obama $250 to buy coke, and when he came back, i made a track on the cd box to make it easier to snort, all this happened in the limousine, yes, right on the move, or you parked, no, we continued driving, so i’m making a new path, and so you understand, somewhere around here, all sorts of tamekos usually begin , i started stroking his thigh to give him what i want from him and see his reaction , and i was not mistaken, he understood me, that's when it all happened for us, so we had a fun night in the limousine with drugs and sex. so, you are stroking his leg, to be honest, as a man who

then i gave obama $250 to buy cox.rack on the cd box to make it more convenient. all this happened in the limousine, yes, right on the move, or you parked, no , we continued to drive, so i’m making a new path, well, so you understand, somewhere around here, all sorts of tamekos usually begin, i started stroking his thigh to make it clear what i want from him and to look at his reaction, and i was not mistaken, he understood me, that’s when everything happened for us, so we it was a fun night... in a limousine with drugs and sex. so you're stroking his leg, to be honest, as a man who isn't turned on by gay sex, if they started doing that to me, i'd be like, "hey, chill out, buddy." believe me, there have been times when i misunderstood guys. once they even almost broke my arm, but then it didn’t seem too much like he was far from such entertainment. he was not shocked by my actions. if he had been in shock, he wouldn't have gotten excited, wouldn't have unzipped his pants and wouldn't have allowed us to... will happen,

barack hussein obama. crooked joe biden and his boss barack hussein obama. >> stephen: really?'re pushing the "hussein" obama in 2023? that's a 2007 dog whistle. "barack hussein obama is totes not my bae. he's the opposite of lit. now drop the beat. i don't know how to close an umbr-ella ella ella." ella. [cheers and applause] what else happened in 2007? the obama talk wasn't done there. >> i also opened up 5,000 square miles of ocean of new england that barack hussein obama had closed. i don't know why. i mean they closed -- the most fertile area, almost, like, in the world for a thing called fish. >> stephen: "it's a thing called fish. and fish live in a thing called ocean and does a thing called swim. unless fish hit beach. because fish has no -- what they call -- leg. no leg for walk. it sad. which is why we must protect fish natural habitat: tartar sauce." trump was playing all the hits on memory lane. he even dusted off his favorite poem, "the snake," which was a staple of the 2016 campaign. we can't play the whole clip, because this show is only an hour show, but here's

obama's headquarters, but not for long, after his inauguration she was returned, and as is customary the democrats , since then she and hillary became best friends, together they plotted the invasion of libya, then, when pavorge was appointed the empty representative of the united states, prion, together they persuaded the white house to more decisive actions by syria and yemeni. him he, samantha was rarely shy in expressions, but since vezavi was more than worthy, the security council meeting during this period became a bestseller even on political american television channels. here you are with mrs. paura, she is laughing now. now, if you prepared a resolution that would ratify the actions of the russian federation, they would happily support it, so take this into account, well, ambassador pavel, unfortunately, resorted to a method that she loves, to distort the russian position, somehow her present it absurdly, then she herself criticizes her own absurd presentation of the russian position. russia is known for its great literature, and what you heard from the representative of rus

like barack obama is a very in many personal ways, like the worst nightmare. the worst case scenario of the voting rights act for its opponents. right. this mixed race black man who can come and be the centrist like jesus character, and all of a sudden the white people, him and he's winning indiana like again that's what that's what the other of the selma bridge was very concerned about. right. and and so when we think about him that way. right. when we think about barack obama as as an inevitable outcome of the last reconstruction. right. and as the continuation of this right. that he is the spoils of a post-racial democratic system. right. the reaction and response to him is also not new. right. that what we have seen since creation of post-racial democracy has been an active and proactive resistance to that post-racial democracy. when we look at that be okay well, we are ostensibly a multiracial, but let's voting rights in these places like they can vote but they can't really write it is been the crackdown we saw through the eighties and nineties of civil l

under obama and really a disaster saying the same thing.homas freedman saying the same thing israel is about to make a terrible mistake israel is about to make a terrible mistake. based on what you are saying that ideology is israel must not obliterate hamas when they talk about expanding the war in that middle east they are not talking about israel is to protect itself by not expanding the war in the middle east which i guess means don't defend yourself. what they are saying is defend our ideology and defend our policies but isn't that another reason they're soft on iran even in the rhetoric? >> it is there is a remarkable consistency on the domestic approach of the foreign policy approach. it's a sympathy for the perpetrator in antipathy for the victim we are always trying to find out what the victim responsible for circumstance in this case israel. we are trying to support and find justification for the perpetrators in this case hamas and really iran. it's a wholly-owned franchise that applies the united states in their approach to domes

president obama obama. as representative of harry truman's hometown of independence, missouri, i am very much honored to be with you this evening. when harry truman became, the first president to address the naacp in 1947, i don't think anyone could have imagined the progress to come. and since that day, just think about it dr. king marched on washington. president johnson signed a number of civil rights bills. thurgood marshall joined the supreme. and america. barack hussein obama to the presidency in his speech, president truman warned that we cannot afford the luxury of a leisurely attack on discrimination. his words marked the genesis of the civil rights era, ringing out in congress, state legislatures, congregations living, rooms and city streets all around this great country. today we meet to keep truman's words alive and usher our children and their children into new era of civil rights. before dr. divulged his rosa parks took a seat on a bus and president obama swore his oath. president truman signe
