if you look at the poe at, for instance, a tea party, that was poll done a year and a half ago at the "new york times" breaking down the tea party respondents. the vast majority of people who considered themselves a tea party were also agreeing that obama had given way too much attention to african-americans, the country had given way too much attention to african-americans, et cetera, et cetera. so it would be politically naive not to think that he doesn't have this going on in his head. she make some strong statements and should we have strong policies as regards serving poverty, of course he has. some people doesn't claim he does he has talked some other things. clearly, that's a major issue and he'll deal with that as vigorously as he has. >> you mentioned the tea party and the tea party and conservativism will create some controversy. you say what it all adds up is to an america that is psychologically and politically divided in the most bizarre way. one america is celebrating the rise of a black president and the beginning of the end of racism while the other drowns in paranoia
