barack obama called slavery the original sin of america. his presidency once held promise of redemption. that has not happened. is this country enters the trump era, the divisions between black and white america are felt, perhaps, more starkly than they have been in a generation. if there is anyone out there who still doubts that america is a place where all things are possible, tonight is your answer. that was the era of yes, we can. when black america seemed poised to claim a confident power apparently long denied. # i'm so reckless when i rocklike von she dressed # i'm so possess if # my daddy alabama, my mummy louisiana... to me it is a race war. you have black against white, white against black. from the swa m ps of white, white against black. from the swamps of washington to do by you of the south. beneath the surface of the south. beneath the surface of the post— racial society, fear. anger. and the deep roots of a history still unresolved. the final week of the obama presidency began with the annual commemoration for a man who gav

barack obama ba rack obama has just barack obama has just finished his final press conference as president, inevitably was asked about his successoi’. inevitably was asked about his successor. i don't expect that there is going to be, you know, enormous overla p. is going to be, you know, enormous overlap. that may be an understatement. only two days until donald trump is sworn in as president. i'll play you a report looking at how the day will play out on the national mall. in sport, i'll look at the vendee globe yacht race as it draws to a close. it only happens every four years, and this one is a thiller. pete main contenders are expected to finish tomorrow morning. —— the two main contenders. if you want to get in touch, that is the hashtag. on friday, the us presidency will be passed from barack obama to donald trump. this report by rajini vaidya nathan explains the practicalities of the day. ido i do solemnly swear... that i will faithfully execute the office of... how does it work on inauguration day? this is where donald trump will wa ke day? this is where donald trump will w

yes, we can. [ applause ] >> reporter: barack obama facing that sea of supporters in chicago. on november 4th, 2008. after being elected our first african-american president. what began that night is ending now. the assessment of the obama legacy already under way. >> i think that moment, that grand park moment will be remembered symbolically in history as a moment when america thought, we've done something and we feel good about that. >> reporter: pulitzer prize winning historian doris goodwin. >> we talk about is it the man or the times that makes for a presidential legacy. and that moment in grant park seemed like the man was even bigger than the times. >> are you prepared to take the oath, senator? >> i am. >> reporter: but the times set the agenda from day one. as soon as barack obama took the oath of office, he inherited the worst economic crisis since the great depression. the big banks and gm and chrysler were teetering. unemployment was pushing 8%. it's easy to forget how scary it was. now, unemployment is just over 4.5%. since early 2010, more than 15 million jobs ha

"the new york times," the protest media loves barack obama right now. if 60% of the american people have an approval rating of barack obama, the press seems to have an 80% approval rating of him right now. >> and just adding the mainstream media here at cnn, wherever they may be, barack obama and michelle obama often times went around the mainstream media. they would go to celebrity-type shows to deliver their message. and also their administration started at a time when twitter and instant feedback came into full force. they were able to put out their own message and news briefing every week on youtube. so they understand how to manipulate the media. >> they did not have a big scandal in eight years. very rare. >> very classy family. and speaking of the obamas, michelle obama, the first lady spoke so movingly about the importance of electing hillary clinton, but also defeating donald trump. today the president was asked about his daughter's reaction to the election. he spoke at length and ended on a somewhat subdued note. here is what he said. >> man,

obama. >>> los dueÑos de negocios esperan un alza en prÓximos dÍas y autoridades dicen que llegarÁn un millÓn de personas a washington este fin de semana sin embargo, muchos irÁn para prots tar contra donald trump. >>> rogelio noticias telemundo. >>> bueno mientras que el presidente barack obama aprovecha el tiempo que le queda sorprendiendo a mÁs de uno cono mutoÓ sentencia de para mÁs de 2000 presos entre ellos Óscar lÓpez rivera pero sin duda el que mÁs controversia esta causando es chelsea manning una ex soldado transexual estadounidense que filtrÓ documentos secretos de wikileaks cuando era analista de inteligencia del ejÉrcito. manning ha cumplido seis aÑos de 35 y serÁ libero nada mayo. >>> y poco antes de tomar la decisiÓn el presidente barack obama llegaba como vemos por sorpresa a la Última conferencia diaria de su secretario de prensa. >>> el mandatario se apareciÓ para agradecerle pÚblicamente por sus aÑo de servicio y aplaudir la integridad, inteligencia y madurez dijo barack obama de el seÑor en ese papel. >>> y es un hecho la tienda del cadenas en pa

will you miss president barack obama? yes, yes indeed. the whole first family on his beautiful wife and children, everything about them, they are leaving behind some big shoes to fill. danika miller, thank you forjoining us. so, that was danika miller, one ofjust thousands of people packed inside that hall. so, that is the special coverage from inside the convention centre in chicago as president barack obama centre in chicago as president ba rack obama makes centre in chicago as president barack obama makes his farewell address to the american people following in a tradition that began with america's very first president, george washington. laura, many thanks indeed. we will be here in the studio in london. let's run through some of the highlights of the final speech from president 0bama the final speech from president obama to the nation as president. my my fellow americans. michelle and i have been so touched by all the well wishes we have received over the past few weeks. but, tonight, it's my turn to say thanks. whether we have seen

obama was elected and the first thing that mcconnell did was lay out a plan for how to defeat barack obama at every turn -- for those who would say that you now sound like mcconnell sounded eight years ago, you'd say what? >> well, there's one difference difference. barack obama, whether you disagree with him as a partisan or not, was a figure of great dignity, of great probity, of great respect for the constitution, of great personal uncorruptibility and a person who took the trouble to study public issues and be very judicious, very measured in the way he went about being president of the united states. so, if mitch mcconnell decided from day one to oppose him and try to destroy him, you could dismiss that as pure partisanship. now, you compare that with donald trump, who is a loose cannon, who is a crackpot, who got elected president through a series of accidents combined with the fact that a lot of angry people have gotten the short end of the stick economically. i say this as a citizen, not as a partisan -- i think there's a world of difference between trying to destroy barack o

obama as former president barack obama, nothing illustrates that more starkly than the helicopter waiting to take off with former president, former first lady. it is known for this mission as executive one. it's normally known as marine one. short flight across the military district of washington to what was formerly known as andrews air force base, now laden with the clunky pentagon title joint base andrews, as most of them are, but there you see the military lined up to escort the former president over to the aircraft. both men will be coming out this entrance. steve schmidt, your assessment of what we heard. >> i think there were two things that were striking. first this republican president's administration is not going to be animated by conservatism, but rather a fierce american nationalism. it will be interesting to see that play out. secondly, in very unusual for an inaugural address in the modern era, there was no articulation of american values, of the values of the post world war ii liberal order with the united states at the center of it, a communication to the world about our

barack obama was asked what advice he would give his successor. on this, he steered a diplomatic course. this is a job of such magnitude that you can't do it by yourself. you are enormously reliant on a team. that's probably the most useful advice, the most constructive advice, that i have been able to give him. and then the final question. come on, mr president, are you really as sanguine as you are saying publicly about donald trump taking over? this is notjust a matter of no drama obama. this is what i really believe. it is true that behind closed doors i curse more than i do in public. laughter. sometimes i get mad. and frustrated like everybody else does. but at my core, i think we're going to be ok. thank you very much, press corps. good luck. barack obama will spend the next year writing and being around more for michelle and his two daughters. he says he won't be a back seat driver. but he's given this warning, if he sees things that he really doesn't like then he will speak out. it seems that friday won't be the last we see of barack obam

and the other piece of this, chuck, is that barack obama should step up as well and call it what it is. it's wrong what is happening. it's wrong how some of these democrats are treating president-elect trump. we have a great relationship with the white house. i talk to dennis mcdonogh every day. we had a great meeting with the cabinet members and the sitting white house cabinet members on friday. the transfer of power within the white house is going great, but to do this to president-elect trump five days before he puts his hand on the bible is just wrong and the democrats are fund raising on this comment from congressman lewis right now. so they're making money on it. >> let me ask you this, because one of the things that congressman lewis says he will never forget and possibly never forgive that vladimir putin is a stronger leader than president obama and there are people that will respond to your comments right now and say donald trump spent five years questioning the legitimacy of barack obama's constitutional viability to be president of the united states with the birther controve

that is almost as barack obama's first and second inaugurations together. the read on all of that with adam shapiro in washington, d.c. adam, what are you hearing? >> well, the donations and amount of money that have been coming in are setting a record. we'll put this into perspective a little bit. talk about some of the corporate donation,. liz: which have already been announced. for instance, chevron donated to the inauguration committee $500,000. boeing pledgedded up to one million dollars. at&t, it is kind of an in-kind donation, when you walk around washington near the mall and capitol, cell phone towers have been put in place. this will quintuple the amount of cell phone service available on friday as hundreds of thousands of people descend on the nation's capitol for the inauguration. where does this stand, this $90 million that the trump inaugural committee raised so far? where does this stand, compared to other presidential inaugural committees? president obama, both inaugural committees, combined, raised roughly $97 million. gw, george walker bush

will start putting in motion an agenda to scrap president barack obama greatest legacy. it's going to be a long battle will. >> reporter: for the first time in nearly a dozen years republicans will control all of washington and their plotting a vicious agenda on capitol hill. a sweeping rewrite of the tax code, new infrastructure projects, a ninth supreme court justice and their top goal, a repeal of president barack obama signature legacy item, obamacare. >> obamacare repeal, resolution will be the first item up in the new year. >> but republican leaders privately acknowledge it won't be easy especially repealing the healthcare law without a clear plan to replace it and in the aftermath of surging enrollment numbers for obamacare. >> what happens to those 20 million people that have health insurance? are you going to just kick them off and suddenly they don't have health insurance? >> the republicans will immediately try to pass a budget that will allow them to repeal much of obamacare including subsidies all on a period of time line vote in the senate. >> but some key

how would you sum up the legacy of barack obama in foreign policy? i think the major achievements of obama on foreign policy are primarily the opening of cuba and the iran nuclear deal. less ofa cuba and the iran nuclear deal. less of a headline but more responsible management of american obligations abroad, of rebuilding the public views of the united states, which have slipped towards the end of the bush administration, and most parts of the world recovered, over the course of that administration, generally trying, and obviously there are caveats, exceptions, there have been failures and mistakes, but on the old, trying to be a responsible steward of american foreign policy and america's role in the world. jacob, many thanks. stay with us and bbc news, much more coming up at the top of the hour, but now it is time for hardtalk. welcome to hardtalk, i'm stephen sackur. the more things change, the more things stay the same. an adage that seems tailor—made for race relations in america. after eight years of a black president, amid a swirl of demogra

. >>> barack obama is the first president since hubert who never had a year of economic growth is 3% or more. after the last great per session -- the economy grew 4.5% in a year. think of where we'll be and think of where all the blue collar workers would be. >> let's talk about the next four years. donald trump did something that i really liked. >> i do watch the show, you know, i point out his greatness occasionally here. >> lets talk about infrastructure and the airports and the shabbiness and laguardia airport and the railroad system we have in this country compares to the railroad systems and airports all over the world and south africa and all over the world, it is all better than ours >> republicans are trusting to spend but they don't want to do it for fiscal reasons. we are not going to waste your money but we'll spend some money to get capitol investment. do you think paul ryan will go along with that with trump doing some spending or not? >> i do. >> first of all, we have to understand that there are a lot of hugely important infrastructure projects that can be privately f

barack obama instead of covering him. frankly, the coverture wasn't soft. now, they want to change their tune. it should have been like this all along. >> martha: they are waking up. chris, in some cases, they are energized. they need to hold every politician, every presidency to the fire, and to do good reporting, good journalistic work. that is novel, apparently. >> what we of course always want is an adversarial press. we want a press that is skeptical of people who are in power. that is what we want all the time. but, as you guys were discussion, having it be situational and having ups and downs as may be not so good. i also think that what you are seeing here if you have a morality play going on, where the reporters cast themselves in the role of the good guys, trump is the bad guy, they feel vindicated and doing what they want, and that may allow them to do things that they wouldn't under normal circumstances. >> martha: is it going to exploit this, ari, when you look up the conversation that is being had, you look

bush right to barack obama? steve: i never sought -- andy: i never saw the letter he wrote to barack obama. it was a great time, but i did not get to see the letter that hero for barack obama. andy: the top about the morning of the inauguration. you know it's likely incoming and the outgoing administrations. walk us through the events as they unfold. andy: it starts than i before the inauguration when the president stays at the blair house. is treated with great respect by the staff. they are going to have a briefing, which i think defines a presidency. it is done the night before or it never leaves the side of an aide who never leaves the president's presence. that is the code to the military weapons. a very sobering briefing because it is done without emotion. officer sayingan to a commander, if you need this, and you follow these rules you will implement what you have decided. not a committee. it's not a team. it is not a group. mr. president, when you take that oath of office, i will be by your side carrying

we are covering barack obama's departure. you see his helicopter landing a outsidee andrew's washington, d.c., switching from a helicopter to an airplane. trump, president, donald has begun to tweet as president, reflecting an echoing the themes he talked about on the economy and the government in control -- being controlled by the people. the president elect is expected to sign some debts the president is expected to sign some orders. we don't know if he can sign orders and tweet at the same time. we should learn of some executive orders he is expected to do. they have been tightlipped about what kind of orders he will sign on his first day. he will save some signing on monday and then will attend a luncheon in statuary hall. some members of congress are milling about, waiting for the president and the vice president. they are taking the obama's out to andrews where they will fly west to california where the president plans to spend time and palm springs playing golf. >> we are coming to the end of our coverage. i president

barack obama came here and made very specific promises to the american people about obamacare. he came here and said if you like what you have, you can keep it. how did that work out? today millions of americans lost the good health care plan that they liked and expected to keep and are not able to do because of the broken promises of his law. barack obama came here to this capitol and said if his bill passes, health insurance costs will drop dramatically for families and instead what have we snow and the reverse dramatic increases in health care costs and in my state of louisiana over 25% increases that families are paying in higher costs for health care because of those broken promises of his law. i hope he cools here apologize for those broken promises but i don't think that's going to be the case. i think he's going to be here more concerned about about preserving his legacy than about fulfilling those promises. good news is we are here to fulfill those promises to the american people. we told the american people that if you give us this great opportunity, that we're going

satcha: vemos otro lado del presidente barack obama. estÁbamos comentando con karla que el momento que a ella mÁs la conmoviÓ fue cuando agradece a su esposa y a sus hijas. es una familia que se enfrentÓ a las duras crÍticas. karla: dos niÑas que crecieron. satcha: sasha, en la primera toma de posesiÓn, era una niÑa, tenÍa siete aÑos. y ayer en las redes sociales se preguntaban dÓnde estaba. ya sabemos que tiene un examen esta maÑana. karla: eso me llamÓ mucho la atenciÓn. siendo la hija del presidente, con el discurso final de tu papÁ, ¿no le darÍan permiso? alan: es que me pasa con mis hijos, y eso es muy bueno. los hijos cada vez son mÁs responsables. cuando los quiero llevar de vacaciones, dicen: "no, papÁ, porque tengo que ir a la escuela". y despuÉs de ocho aÑos, el 21 de enero es un ciudadano comÚn y corriente. karla: bueno, creo que siempre van a estar expuestos al ojo pÚblico. y de hecho, me llamÓ mucho la atenciÓn que Él agradece especÍficamente a su esposa, porque dice: "sin pedirlo, te tuve que met

i moved over to my barack obama twitter account. he said, when we return, we're going to get back to work. i'm hoping that he gets back in there. and i don't think he's going to stand by, actually, and watch the repeal of all the great work that he's done happen. i believe that he'll have a voice in this. michelle will as well. >> it's so easy to undo a legacy. they may think they can erase these things, but the accomplishments of barack obama happened and you can't make them unhappen. joining me now, emily tisch sussman, the campaign director for the center for american progress. emi emily, tell us what you hope comes out of today? >> i think we're already achieving a lot of what come out of today. the election may have not gone the way we wanted. we may be out of power when it comes to law making, but we are in power when it comes to the culture of this country, moving forward, people moving together and this is one of the most heartening events i've ever been to. it is so positive. and it is one of the nicest gathering i've ever

it seems that friday won't be the last we see of barack obama. but in the meantime, there's a new home to get ready. moving house is said to be one of life's most stressful experiences. but when you have been president for eight years making life and death decisions, where to hang your favourite picture is probably unlikely to keep you awake at night. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. as washington gears up for friday's inauguration there was news today that former president george hw bush has been moved to intensive care at a houston hospital. he's 92 and suffering from pneumonia but is said to be in stable condition. a procedure was performed to clear his airway. his wife barbara has also been admitted to the same hospital, as a precaution. she is said to be very fatigued and coughing. sally bundock is here with the business news. we are focused on london today. fears are growing of a costly brexit exit is. a fear of banking jobs leaving are growing. leading firms are now weighing up moving thousands of staff out of the uk, after prime minister

barack obama ba rack obama has barack obama has delivered his farewell speech. in an emotional speech in chicago, he said he believed the country was in a better, stronger place than when he was first elected eight years ago. the president admitted progress had not gone far enough but called on the american people to put aside their differences and help bring about positive change. i am asking you to hold fast to that faith written into our founding documents, that ideal whisper by slaves and abolitionists, that spirit sung by immigrants homesteaders and those who marched forjustice, that creed reaffirmed by those who planted flags from foreign battlefields to the surface of the moon, a creed at the core of every american whose story is not yet written. yes, we can. cheering and applause. yes, we did. yes, we can. we'll be assessing president 0bama's legacy with a panel of experts on us politics and society at about 8:10. meanwhile, donald trump says he is the victim of a "political witch hunt" after allegations against him were published in the us. unconfirmed

it might even outsell barack obama's memoir. they'll each get paid quite a bit of money because they are two popular people. >> she is very popular. she'll do another late night show, her final good-bye. here are some of her best moments. ♪ oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪ >> oh. >> what can we say? we just dropped the mike. don't tell people about my rash. >> a rash that she has. where is the rash? what area were you telling me about? >> my shoulder. >> lower than that. >> keith, you've known her a long time. is she going to miss that? >> the reality is i've not known her a long time. i met her when she became first lady. i never knew her in law school. she has this relatable personality. when i met her in the white house for the first time she hugged me like she'd known me her entire life. as an african-american, it's been a joy to watch her on this national stage. i'm good friends with her hairstylist and we were just texting a few moments ago about what this means. she's become this icon in not only african-american cult

barack obama is a leader in this country and will remain such. all right? even after he leaves. >> he's only 55. >> bill: he's a leader. he dodged a question that he should not have dodged. winston churchill could not have dodged that question. >> i'm not so sure about that. i have seen winston churchill -- >> he had to make a decision. >> bill: that's another example of poor leadership. there is controversy around president obama staying in washington, some people said he might set a shadow government up and undermined donald trump. he was asked about it today, will he speak out about issues? >> efforts to round up kids who have grown up here and for all practical purposes are american kids, and send them someplace else, when they love this country, the notion that we would just arbitrarily or because of politics punish those kids, when they didn't do anything wrong themselves. i think would be something that would merit me speaking out. >> bill: nobody thinks that it's going to happen, no one think there is going to be around about the so-called dreamers.

el presidente barack obama en esa oportunidad cuando lo creÓ lo hizo con limitaciÓn de tiempo. la gran pregunta es... quÉ se pudiera hacer si daca ya es eliminoado y pudiera ocurrir maÑana dicen que el presidente donald trump va anunciar acciones quizÁs algÚn cambio pero cuales son las opciÓnes si el daca deja de existir? >>> mÍ ahorita creo es un poquito es decir difÍcil decir es esto lo que se puede hacer tal vez por congreso o cuales son las soluciones de pÓliza que se pueden pasar lo que sÉ es de que este va a ser el momento donde muchos de los jÓvenes que ya han sido protegidos por la acciÓn diferida ida los dreamers los jÓvenes indocumentados este va a ser momento que si nos quitan la acciÓn diferida es el momento de salir y decir no esÁa bien, no regresarnos a travÉs las sombras sino que seguir lo que hemos estado haciendo por aÑos para poder ir con cono g greistas con personas que nos puedan proteger a nosotros y a nuestras familias a lÍderes comunitarios polÍticos pero ahorita es el momento de regreso tencia y yo les invito a todos los dreamers que si

barack obama has failed america. (cheers and applause) >> narrator: he was a successful businessman and an experienced politician, a former governor. >> i believe in america, and i'm running for president of the united states. >> narrator: but many in the republican base-- especially in the tea party-- could barely stand him. >> verges on hysterical. mitt romney has never done a single thing to favor the conservative cause. >> i swear every time mitt romney opens his mouth, i have no... i think he's running against me. >> i don't think that romney was somebody who understood the angst of the american people. he didn't understand what... what especially the republicans throughout the united states were feeling, how-how disaffected they felt. >> mitt romney just further exacerbates the frustration among the republican base and the tea party wing of the party. how could it be that they end up with mitt romney as their nominee when there's so much anti-washington, anti-establishment energy out there? >> what does mitt ro

barack obama has been missing in action. only in the american ghetto, sean, could this go on with the no sense of emergency. if that many people died in a hurricane in the southeast, there's no way that everybody would stand by twiddlingpl their thumbs. there's no sense of urgency. but here's the bottom line. here is what is wrong in chicago. it's not the chicago police department, it's the fact that mayor emmanuel has allowed "black lives matter" and the aclu to run the chicago police department. they are setting policy rprocedure. >> sean: should they not follow the new york experience? when mayor giuliani started stop and frisk, they got the number downay to about 300 or 400. a majority of those lives saved were black lives. so now implement something like that? would the federal government be able to come in and do that? >> the thing is, the promising thing about this is if there is any, they don't have to reinvent the wheel here. they don't have to come up with something that's never been tried before. the order mainten

look, i'll admit, barack obama made a few good choices. for instance -- ( cheers and applause ) -- he expanded the drone program, spied on american citizens through the n.s.a., let the wall street banks get even bigger, and never closed guantanamo. but other than that, and i don't want to exaggerate here-- every year of the obama regime felt like he was strangling a bald eagle with an american flag while taking a dump on an apple pie. that's why i want to say, thanks, obama. you reminded guys like me what we truly stand for-- the opposite of whatever you said. obama said he was born in the united states, so we said he wasn't. obama said we should save the american auto industry, so we said, let it die. of course, opposing everything he said sometimes meant abandoning our beliefs. just take "obamacare"-- he said it was going to help people. we said that was socialism, even though we know it was based on romneycare. ( laughter ) still, throughout everything, obama was our north star. ( cheers and applause ) whatever his position, we knew to

a big change there from barack obama traditions. a big change there from ba rack obama who traditions. a big change there from barack obama who had many marching bands from big cities. i have been speaking to people who are thrilled the donald trump is in the white house, who never thought he would win. even amongst those i have been speaking to, delighted as they are an much as they hope he will return jobs as promised and he. what they see as trade and in legal immigration there is concern that he could do more to try to unite the country. some people told me they —— that they wished he had done more to reach out to those who did not vote for him. this is definitely a moment for him. this is definitely a moment for his supporters to celebrate but the crowds are thinner than i have seen the crowds are thinner than i have seen at previous inaugurations and some of these are viewing stand that we re some of these are viewing stand that were not packed to the rafters as they had been before, a reflection, i guess, of the divisions

barack obama's move in the final hours of his presidency. we'll hear from him tomorrow but meanwhile, inaugural celebrations begin for the next president. tonight donald trump talking up his new administration. >> i'm very proud of everybody, the cabinet members. we have put together a team i think the likes of which has never been assembled before. >>> cnn justice correspondent perez. president obama decided to commute chelsea manning's sentence. she was the army private who gave sensitive military document said to wikileaks. >> this announcement came as a shock to the intelligence and national security apparatus off the united states. there was a lot of consternation about this simply because of the recent history with wikileaks. the leak of 750,000 documents really launched wikileaks into what we know that it is. and given in the 2016 election, the obama administration made a big deal that they served as an arm of the russian intelligence services which stole documents and released them through wikileaks to harm the campaign of hill hill.

barack obama lo sabe. solamente el expresidente sabe en quÉ pensaba a Última vez que sobrevolÓ washington. ilia: joaquÍn "el chapo" guzmÁn realizÓ su primera visita a una corte federal en los estados unidos. tendremos las Últimas horas del dÍa de toma de posesiÓn, dedicadas a la mÚsica y al baile. jorge: este domingo en "al punto" tenemos una ediciÓn especial. los esperamos. ♪ ilia: el papa francisco felicito a donald trump como nuevo presidente de los estados unidos y le animÓ a defender la dignidad humana y la libertad en todo el mundo. inmerso en graves crisis humanitarias el papa y trump protagonizaron un cruce de declaraciones luego de que el papa francisco dijera que no era cristiano construir -- construir muros. presidente vicepresidente, esposas y sus familias asistieron a 300 en su honor -- tres fiestas en su honor. reportero: el museo nacional de washington fue el lugar escogido para la gala. asistiÓ donald trump acompaÑado de la primera dama. donald trump: hoy fue un gran dÍa. q

in other words, where's barack obama, where are the others? if this had happened to barack obama in 2008, if 31 republicans said we're going to boycott his election -- >> yeah. charles: -- could you imagine the scandal? >> the outcry would be deafening, charles, and that's part of the problem. you had senator mccain who not only went, he and his wife, his daughter, his mother went to the swearing in, and i think that says a lot about hard feelings. charles: is there one leader within that political party that can push back? >> no, no. some of the leaders tried to go against nancy pelosi, so they've been somewhat neutered, and now you have barack obama who's leaving, he's doing anything and everything he can to, basically, muck it up for the new president. i would hope as he says, you know, we're americans first, we want to have a smooth transition, we're doing everything we can. well, sir, all you've got to do is tell people, hey, listen, knock it off and show up. that's all you need to do. charles: eric, what do you make of that? we're in the

but what has barack obama done for eight years. just months after russia have invaded georgia he have them push it. in the middle of his reelection campaign in 2012 he told the russian president he would have more flexibility after the election. when mitt romney characterized russia as our her number one adversary barack obama mocked &4ms8w:j9d wanted their foreign policy back. they have finally realized the threat that they pose to the united states and our interest. shannon: russian president has responded here is a bit what he have to say as perceived from international practice they had reasons to respond in kind although we have the right to retaliate well not response to that. what will plan our further steps . he went on to invite all diplomatic children who are in russia to the new year's and christmas parties at the kremlin. what is his response say to you? >> i would recommend that they not take their ipads to the kremlin. what they need is a sense of new boundaries. he's have a free reign over the last eight years he nee

sally yates is a barack obama appointee. she was asked to stay on temporarily by president trump, but is due to be replaced within days, depending on senate confirmation by mr trump's pick, jeff sessions. and another very unusual intervention. only 11 days after he left office, former president obama has weighed in to the controversy. his spokesman said american values are at stake, and praised protesters against the executive order. the statement says the former president is heartened by the level of engagement around the country, and says he fundamentally disagrees with the notion of discriminating against individuals because of their faith or religion. and, in the past few hours, senior democratic politicians have gathered at a rally outside the supreme court. house minority leader nancy pelosi and senate leader chuck schumer called mr trump's executive order un—american. all of us take an oath of office to protect and defend the constitution of the united states. what the president has done is not in the interest of se

barack obama was asked what advice he would give his successor. on this, he steered a diplomatic course. this is a job of such magnitude that you can't do it by yourself. you are enormously reliant on a team. that's probably the most useful advice, the most constructive advice, that i have been able to give him. and then the final question, come on, mr president, are you really as sanguine as you are saying publicly about donald trump taking over? this is notjust a matter of no drama obama. this is what i really believe. it is true that behind closed doors i curse more than i do in public. laughter. and sometimes i get mad and frustrated like everybody else does. but at my core i think we're going to be ok. thank you very much, press corps. good luck. barack obama will spend the next year writing and being around more for michelle and his two daughters. he says he won't be a back seat driver. but he's given this warning, if he sees things that he really doesn't like then he will speak out. it seems that friday won't be the last we see of barack ob

no. ( laughter ) walking and talking with barack obama. here it is. >> what are you going to miss most about this place? >> this walk is one of them. well, in a way, h he told us his family life hat thrived living and working under the white house roof but that his wife and daughter didn't feel the same way about life in what harry truman called the finest prison in the world. >> how do they feel? they're ready to go. the girls, obviously, they are now up in age in which the constraints of secret service and bubbles and all that stuff has gotten pretty old. michelle never fully took to the scrutiny. i mean, she thrived as a first lady but it's not her preference. >> he was the hardest sell. she was the hardest sell and she never fully embraced being in the public spotlight, which is ironic, given how good she is. having said that, she would acknowledge and i certainly feel that we just have a lot of memories here. our kids grew up here. some of our best friends have been made here in this place. there have been moments that were highlights

i can't stand barack obama! they are are on obamacare! >> here is the question if you were donald trump and looking for running in reelection in 2020. would you find it acceptable for the congress to vote to repeal obamacare and come up with a replacement. >> no. >> three years later? we will cover replacement in, let's say, 2019? when you're about to run for reelection. >> not on your life. the democrats would have every right politically to kill it. they will drag their feet and kill it every step of the way just like republicans tried to do with obamacare. so unless you have the replacement right there waiting when you repeal it, it is a loser for donald trump and i would predict that it would kill any republican running in michigan, ohio, wisconsin, and pennsylvania. >> the way you can kick the can down the road and lots of ways to do it is phase out the repeal and promise you're going to keep the popular parts of the plan and start to pass things that republicans like more on health care to create a more robust market but they have t

barack obama had dignity. as you watched over eight years, he did what a man does, taking care of his family, his wife and children. he didn't talk about it but he modeled it, represented it in his actions. this, in an increasingly less parented country was invaluable. you can strongly oppose someone politically, really think you're seeing bad things there but have a responsibility to see and note what good there is. he said that he's touched a rising generation. to some significant degree i have a feeling that will probably prove true." well, that's peggy noonan, a conservative columnist, writing about the obama presidency. and a progressive columnist speaking yesterday on cbs "morning news," i believe it's powerful, a powerful thing. i have three kids who have grown up and they have never known anything but a black president." when i read the words of these two figures i respect, i refuse as an american not to be an optimism about our country. and that's "hardball" for now. thanks for being with us. "all in"

bush for barack obama. they're all of a theme about, it's a tough job, but the american people are a wonderful and resilient people. honor them, honor this office. and i suspect president obama wrote something similar. they tend to be very nice and inspiring notes. >> we don't know what he said in private to donald trump in that note. but we do know what he said in his final tweets under the @potus handle. he said it's been the honor of my life to serve you. >> there we see the president walking in the oval office. >> looks like he'll leave that notoriety there on the desk. >> on the resolute desk. >> that's remarkable. >> you see the ladder to the right to the door here, the next five hours, once they leave for this inaugural, the staff has to turn that building around in the course of four or five hours. that's also part of the remarkable nature -- >> this is amazing to be able to get a peek in the window of the white house as he's spending his final moments there. >> so much action going on in that build

he painted a hellish picture of america, different from the one barack obama said he was leaving behind. pres. trump: for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists. mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities. factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation. withucation system flushed cash, but which leaves are young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge. and the crime, and the gangs, and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and rubbed our country -- robbed our country of so much unrealized potential. this american carnage stops right here, and stops right now. jon: and then a message to the rest of the world. don't look to us to bail you out. we've got different priorities now. pres. trump: we assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in inry foreign capital, and every hollow power. from this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. from this day forward, it's going to be only america first. america first. economic nationalism would be the order of the day. pres. trump: we will follo

under barack obama, quite often we were not. the real question is whether under donald trump we will be willing to have the visible hand of the united states. charlie: who has the strategic mind to create a new world order? richard: i think there are ideas out there. i did my best to put one out in this book, basically a new operating system for the world. we have had an operating system in the world, a set of rules, for nearly four centuries, which was very basic. you don't use military force to change borders and you allow governments tremendous space to do what they want in their country. i call that world order 1.0. it is based on the idea of sovereignty. when i argue is that during the era of globalization, that is necessary but not sufficient. charlie: we now have all kinds of means to transmit, transform. richard: the conveyor belt of globalization. something breaks out -- suddenly, zika virus or worse can spread around the world. digital things can spread instantaneously. terrorists, hackers, climate change. none of thes

bernie sanders is much more of a am barack obama as a describe the socialist and the southern democrat what do you think? >> as a political success in if you have the southern democrat but tim kane is very obama ask. spirit will they have problems with trump and 2020? >> it depends on the state of the economy he will not do the things he said he will do but donald trump needed those voters in the midwest they thought he would be us change agent they see him being left to the hillary clinton. but a lot of the attacks on the big banks and special interest he is much more closely tied or even more than george w. bush a very insider republican so i think it would be hard to square this up but he needed the obama of voters to win. you had a successful president to keep the coalition that is the roadmap. >> hillary clinton won the popular vote but just to wrap things up, heidi think the barack obama presidency be remembered near-term so how does that make the presidency look better? >> any major social reform will produce but there was the violent terrorist uprising in the south and reduce t

bush left the white house and barack obama became our 44th president. >> it is one thing that we do well and probably we take too much for granted because if you look at the number of countries in which this does happen with so little fan fare and with such little agitation it really is unique. i think americans don't understand that. >> the role of the military, the parade and all the traditions that go along with that, what is its origins? >> this is the way the people used to celebrate. often times with parades that were often times pretty military compared to inaugural parade. if you look at parades through history you knew nothing else about the president who was being inaugurated or the time he was coming to power. >> how does it represent the president taking office. they are organized by the house and senate and parade by the -- >> people tend to think that this has been nothing but tumlt and division and conflict. you will have members of congress often times who are of a different party from the incoming president who may. >> let's talk about five inaugural addresses. i want to

imagine what people would be willing to pay barack obama. he is sort of the top of the haep right now for public speaking. >> this former president has a hefty to-do list. >> my fellow americans, it has been the honor of my life to serve you. i won't stop. >> randy kay, cnn, washington. >> much more ahead on this special saturday edition of 360. huge turnouts of women's marches across the country to protest the new agent and his agenda. more on that ahead. ♪ if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis isn't it time to let the real you shine through? introducing otezla, apremilast. otezla is not an injection, or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. some people who took otezla saw 75% clearer skin after 4 months. and otezla's prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't take otezla if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. otezla may increase the risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if these feelings develop. some p
