now truman makes the mistake of crossing the parallel. he's under tremendous pressure not just to contain north korea which he does by driving the north koreans back across the parallel but under mccar thur's prodding, mcarthur tells him the boys will be home by christmas. the chinese if they come into the water,-- war, they won't fight. i have seen them fight in world war two. he forgot that those were the nationalist bombings as o toesed to ma zhay tung a communist bombings. and he is convinced, mccar thur is convinced if they come into the war, he said it will be the greatest slaughter. they have no air power. and we will slaughter them. well, again, dead wrong and of course the war becomes a horrible stalemate. >> the lesson of this is that smart and wise and great leaders can make serious mistakes. >> oh, terrible errors. >> there is also the question you raise of whether we necessarily should have gotten into an arms race. the choice was with the united states. >> yes. >> and you suggested perhaps if the united states had went to ru

the best example of this, to keep this brief would be harry truman. when he left office in 1953, we remember him as a great president. he left office in 1953 with an approval rating of about 23%. 23% in 1953 was about 8% nowadays, because people were shy about telling people they didn't like a president. it is not our problems americans have had the last 10 years or more. you look at the numbers. why was he unpopular? one of the reasons was that people said that truman was too angry about his opponents. it is true that in 1952, he was asked by a reporter what he thought of richard nixon, in his reply was, i think richard nixon is full of the door. not very simple. -- full of manure. not very civil. the response was, you have no idea how long it got me to get him to use the word "manure."

>> one of my real heroes is harry truman. truman made a very difficult decision to compel the racial integration of the united states armed forces at a point when most of the leadership, most of the generals said for exactly the same sorts of reason, unit cohesion we should not have a racially integrated military. that was a brave decision, it was an important decision and the ultimate long-term impact has made our united states military one of the most progressive in terms of promotion advancement opportunities for racial hurt minorities of any organization in our country. as you said earlier most of our nato allies long ago realized we are giving up on the service of thousands of potential volunteers who could be serving our nation at home and abroad, i don't think it makes any sense because of a narrow social agenda to continue to exclude them from open service in our military.

host: harry truman said if you want a friend in washington, get a dog. did those comments surprise you? guest: a little bit. i think he's expressing his frustration on the trail. he said some thing that is sound perhaps defensive even or frustrated. he said at a recent fund raiser, look, it takes time. it took time to free the slaves, it took time to give women the vote. which is comparison, equating what he is doing with some pretty big things in american histy. but i think it must be tough to be a president given all of the things that come your way. and all of the knocks that come your way. he has at the moment not a lot of friends that he can rely on. he doesn't have a solid base of support at the moment that he would like to turn back to at the time of this. >> host: one of the pictures in your article, one of a series of a backyard townhall meetings, in richmond, virginia, in a home because of rain that particular day. but we've been seeing the president in these informal seings. we've been covering them. what's the message and the pr behind that?
