that's not the approach of barack obama. i generally think barack obama will be seen as a good and great president from the perspective of history, not only that he b bush, a country of deep recession where unemployment was growing with people losing the helms at a very quick pace, and today, america is in growth again. we have a very low unemploloymet rate. of course, this is not true for every region in the united states, so i i understand if the , butotest and opposition apart from that, the health care reform, the reform of the financial system. he nominated two female supreme court justices, the first latina. he changed how the country thinks about homosexual love, gays, lesbians, and so on. he had a huge missile contract with russia to delete 1/3 of strategic missiles that i could go on and on. peter: there is a darker side to all this, though. you said at the beginning of the show, or at least i quoted you as saying that trump is obama's legacy. explain. all, if youfirst of say you are delivering change we can believe

people let barack obama down. people let democracy down because of lack of civic engagement, lack of voting, lack of keeping themselves informed. maybe because i am a child of that second world war, my family always understood what happened and i have voted every time i was eligible to vote when i was eligible to vote when i was 21 years old and that was for eisenhower. my father was for him and my father was from that war but let's go to this business of what has happened now in our time. black folk not being engaged. they haven't been engaged because they haven't had the civic education and they don't -- it doesn't need to come from school, they need to understand who they are voting for. >> i want to give david maraniss a chance to respond. thank you for the call for michigan. >> appreciate your comments blues not clear what i said was wrong. she didn't say why. i don't know how to respond to something when i am not sure what the critique is. i will just appreciate her comment and leave it at that. >> give me t

hould be protected president barack obama's record clear. al for his entire political life, he's strongly supported the full legalization of abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy, for any , including o reason sex selection throughout all pregnancy and forcing american taxpayers to pay for t, whether the taxpayers liked it or not. under barack obama, nearly nine million innocent, defenseless little american babies were ever saw thee they first smile of their mother. president obama was in the unique position perhaps among all other presidents in this country ng together to protect these helpless little children. most powerful human being in the world, mr. obama most o become the powerful enemy of the most in the human beings world. and nothing will stain his legacy or his claims of looking the little guy with more shame than going down in history the abortion president. mr. speaker, it gives me no out this record. i truly and sincerely hoped for god's best for barack obama when office. thatte him a letter hoping he would be remembe

barack obama said he has become a fictional character. here is a quote from his interview, i believe with "rolling stone" in 2008. he says i was never subjected to the villification of fox news and the media ecosystem. he blames that on bringing down his approval ratings. >> he won'tlet it go. bottom line, he should have come on fox news and reached across the aisle more. he passed through without any republican help. he didn't want it, he never got it. howie: he seems to leave out other parts of the equation. >> the mainstream media has backed president obama and will have been outspoke others who have definitely been on the attack. there is no question about that. he's right. there have been talk shows and conservatives who have gone after him. but he's the president. you can expect he's also a super liberal president. when you have a president acting in a liberal way you will have the press going after him. >> the obama administration often leaked everything they needed to the "new york times." so it's no surprise the "new york times"

but no one has done with barack obama plans to do tonight. chicago, mccormick place, thousands crammed in to say good-bye to their hero. they greeted him in 2008 to hear him say i want to be president of the united states. now it is barack obama's chance to say good-bye and to put a final signature on his 8 years in office. we are told he's going to focus more on the future than dwell on the past. but he won't pass up an opportunity to say how far he we have come as a country. jeff flock in mccormick place on what we can expect from this estimated 30-minute address. >> erupting in applause as the bidens enter. this place is packed. if you said 20,000, everything from the journalists that covere >> reporter: the cabinet secretaries, elected officials. this place is just packed to the rafters with people who would suggest that these past eight years have been an unqualified success. a reduction in unemployment, fewer troops on foreign soil engaged in conflict, a higher graduation rate among high schoolers. they see this as a great success, and

on the issue of race, though, barack obama leaves a complicated legacy. aleem maqbool reports from alabama. there were civil rights battlegrounds across this country, but few as crucial as those in this state. in one of his last acts as president, barack obama has designated certain sites in alabama important in the civil rights movement as national monuments, including the gaston motel, which was used as headquarters for a time by martin luther king. around the corner stands a church that was bombed by white supremacists in one of the pivotal moments of the civil rights struggle. president obama has now made this a national monument too, in honour of the four young girls who were killed. ii—year—old denise mcnair was one of those who died in the bombing, an event that sparked national outrage. churches are supposed to be your sanctuaries, so for that to happen in a church, i think those that may have been on the side of segregation had to take a second look. during his presidency, barack obama has paid tribute to the historical events that helped pav

do you think democrats will do the same with barack obama? >> the reagan cult is creepy and dangerous and you had years and years and years in which republicans said what would reagan do? let's find some minor writing that reagan might have said. >> right. >> what was right in 1980 is right forever. that's bad. >> right. >> but they should value obama's presidency. they should see it as a model to emulate and defend. >> jonathan chait, the book is called "audacity," fascinating and provocative. thanks for your time tonight. >> thank you, chris. >>> that's "all in" this evening. a reminder, at 11:00 p.m., "the obama years with brian williams." "the rachel maddow show" starts right now. >> thank you, my friend. we know that it didn't end well. what we forget sometimes is that it did not start well. richard nixon was elected in 1968, re-elected in 1972. that meant that his inauguration day for a second term was in january 1973. it was his inauguration date, january 20th, '73. almost spooky to look back at that day now because of the way we know

later in the programme we'll be looking at barack obama's foreign policy legacy. republicans and democats in the us senate have clashed over the confirmation of donald trump's nominee for attorney—general. republican senators described jeff sessions as a distinguished legislator but democrats said they were troubled by what they called his extremely conservative agenda. several times he rejected allegations of racism. barbara plett usher reports from washington. this was always going to be a hard sell. a senator dogged by years for allegations of racism now set to become the country's top law enforcement official. jeff sessions is the first of donald trump's cabinet nominees to be questioned by congress and the most controversial. iam not a racist, iam not insensitive to blacks... 30 years ago he was accused of racist comments in front of this same committee, it rejected him from a position as federaljudge. other charges of civil rights violations followed and he has been defending his record ever since. i'm from south carolina so i know... a fellow senator from

but barack obama was no peacenik. he had a dramatically different approach to war compared with his predecessor. instead of fighting terrorism with large armies, he would rely on a different technology. it would change the very nature of war. the armed drone. >> never before in american history has an american president had the technology and the legal authority to hunt down any person anywhere on the face of the earth and kill them. >> there was a surreal selection process that became known as the kill list. >> they would have bios and pictures of these people. some came to be called sort of baseball cards of terrorists. and a decision was made to put them on the list or not put them on the list. >> carrying out the campaign of killing was the president's cia director leon panetta. obama gave him plenty of latitude. when panetta wanted to dramatically expand the cia's fleet of drones in pakistan, the president, over the objections of his staff, told panetta the cia gets what it wants. >> it was a u.s. drone that fire

it's not justin bieber or barack obama as personality but barack obama who has always seen the hope of what america can be. hope of a more perfect union. >> also a very sobering tone to the speech. think of barack obama who began national political career talking about optimism and hope and change and unity and progress, ended presidency by defending certain things we didn't think a few years ago needed defending, science, basic facts, journalism, the ability of citizens to talk to each other on the most fundamental level. although i heard the optimism you're reflecting, i heard a great level of concern about it. also the shoutout to michelle obama, i've tried to report the story of the obama partnership and how it's affected this presidency. but i believe it's so subtle and deep and fascinating, we have to hand the baton to the historians. michelle obama pushed barack obama to become the politician she wanted him to be. was above it all lofty figure and wanted him to have elevated presidency. and in the way that jackie kennedy was in many ways the architect of the kennedy vision, say

the next morning this is barack obama reading the actual note. the procession to the capital is always a big deal. as we move along pennsylvania avenue there. and here is a picture from exactly 100 years ago. an open carriage and that is william howard taft on the right. and the new president, woodrow wilson on the left. in 1933, we had a situation with franklin d roosevelt in herbert hoover. the two of them did not get along so well. there wasn't a lot of conversation during their ride to the capital. many pictures that were taken that day, roosevelt can be seen waving to the crowd or smiling to the crowd for turning toward hoover and trying to have a conversation. but in every picture you ever see hoover is just looking straight ahead ignoring him. there have been other times also where the presidents, new and old did not get along so well. and those i mentioned in my book the chapter is called can't we all get along. sometimes if there is a big issue, here is 1909, that is william howard taft driving together with teddy roosevelt. we can't see

. >> he wrote the great selma speech for barack obama. we have to treat him as peggy noonan time. >> favreau. >> the loftier speeches but these are great. >> back in the beginning in 2006 when barack obama won went to valerie jarrett's office, with the reverse scene of her packing up to go to the white house and pictures here. it's been eight years. been with him for eight years. lot long time. doesn't usually happen. >> i remember in 2009 on the mall. >> 300 degrees below 0. >> incredibly cold and different feeling back then when he was about to take office. certainly different from the feeling everybody at this table is probably experiencing with donald trump. >> do you think feel more like inauguration as the week progresses? i remember being here last two times, more people here, more festive attitude. i don't know why it's different this time. maybe people are waiting until the end of the week to come. we have a very different kind of president-elect this time. and obviously with president obama, even people that didn't vote for him,

view barack obama and his time in office? >> any time the white house switches hands, it reflects on the president before. clinton when bill replaced george h.w. bush primarily because we had an outsider beating an incumbent. here we have an outsider defeating an insider that would have been a third continuation. one party has held the white house for three consecutive terms only once. this would have been a validation of obama's legacy. the american people did not give it to him. katty: how much have they been talking? what is the relationship going to be like? few times,e spoken a like when donald trump has criticized the ability of the transition. president obama called to touch base. this will be one of the more fascinating relationships in the years going forward. he will only be a couple of miles down the street, and they have such different worldviews. president obama says they get along. i'm not sure i believe that, but it is a relationship they will be talking through, because this incoming president has no experienc

first, barack obama, never had a chance. he probably could have been one of the best presidents in the united states of america forever. because of the hard-core onset power that the republicans played against him he never really had a chance. the one thing about barack obama is he was humble, he was kind, he was charming, he was accepting, he was gracious, he was fit and caring and all of those things are reflective of a man of grace and of great concern for the world. one of the things that is so imperative and i don't think this country is aware of, our nation is aware of, we are now a global world because of the ability of the internet and instan tainuous news around the world and when our president in our country is elected, basically the status quo, they say, he is the world leader. now we have a world president-elect coming onboard who lacks in grace and charm and any sort of humbleness at all. host: elizabeth, we'll leave it there and let our guest respond. guest: well, barack obama was the jackie robinson of u.s. pr

barack obama was not. but the dignity in which you carry yourself in the office. ronald reagan, george h.w. bush, none of them perfect but there's a dignity they carried with themselves in office. and the difference between now and 2009, think we're waxing poetic about barack obama on the way out. 2009 night before inauguration attended a bipartisan dinner for john mccain and called him american hero and patriot. don't see that happening tonight with the president-elect. >> you have to remember there were a lot of ups and downs with president obama and we're focusing on a lot of the positives i think because he's leaving and the contrast with trump and approval started going up a lot in the election because people looking even at hillary clinton and options they have, hang on, maybe not so bad with barack obama. but he also has a fundamentally good temperament, a calm person. been criticized for it but bore fruit in this situation. way he thought it through, realized when it happened and behaved in a way, lot of us wondered could i be so gracious to someone who tr
