his name is barack obama. i know this sounds odd, but i just had this strange feeling that he could be president of the united states some day. and i always joke, now i take betty lou to the track with me whenever i go. >> when obama ran in 2004 for the united states senate, david axelrod signed on as his media adviser. the little-known candidate with the unusual name defeated a half dozen rivals to win the democratic nomination. >> thank you! >> obama's come-from-behind victory won him wide attention. he soon got a call to deliver the keynote at the democratic national convention. >> and as soon as he hung up, he said, i know what i want to say. i want to wrap my story in the larger american story. and for the next three weeks, he was writing on little scraps of paper wherever he went, in between campaign stops. and he pulled it all together. >> the pundits like to slice and dice our country into red states and blue states. red states for republicans, blue states for democrats. but i've got news for them too.

she is barack obama's candidate. they know it. they will issue the same verdict. they cannot afford to empower the people that have been waging a war on jobs for the last 5.5 years. [applause] tonight, i ask every voter to help us win this race. put kentucky first. the people who hand-picked my opponent are not on your side. they don't care a whit about kentucky. let me tell you what i am talking about. the obama administration said we could not raise the water level down at lake cumberland because it might disrupt the natural habitat of a minnow. they wanted to keep the water low, throw people out of their jobs, and destroy one of the most popular tourist spots to help a two inch fish. this is the only time anybody has tried to save a fish from too much water. [laughter] [applause] i fought back and we won. [applause] i will keep fighting this and every other attempt by the obama crowd to tell kentuckians how to live their lives. send me back to washington and kentucky will always have a champion in the capital. [applause] if the american people give republicans

and criticism of barack obama. that was most evident to me recently when i made a oblique criticism of the money my brother's keeper" program, and it's rather obvious shortcomings, failings, and the difficulties implicit within trying to address issues specifically to african-american men while we have a black presidency. so, as i was saying, i think the fundamental point here -- i will say this -- we're in a point of regression while we appear to be in a point of progress. this is not atypical. if we have any knowledge of the history of black people in this country. but to say there are strains of regression implicit in something that appears to be progress is not uncommon. so in 2008 we saw the election of the first african-american president, something we saw none of us ever thought would happen in 2012 we saw the re-election of an african-american president, and these two things have gone hand in hand with a movement to eviscerate the voting rights act which people have soon to have been somewhat significantly

barack obama is not on the ballot. but she is. are they going to replace the senator who disagrees with barack obama with one who will largely be in agreement. that is a structural flaw in a state that is one of the most problematic for obama. this is a state that bill clinton won twice. just one county in eastern kentucky. not county, chris, bill clinton carried the county with 73% of the vote. mitt romney carried it with 73% of the vote. this is a very, very tough state for barack obama. >> let's go to the absence of personality, i love the personality fighter. coal. if you have a state where coal is a key job creator. and somebody comes in says i am an environmentalist, i have questions. no such thing as clean coal. i don't know her exact position. the way he positioned her. the enemy of the guy who thinks, a friend of a guy now, and the president says it makes you sick. he is going to talk cola again -- coal again and again and again. >> guns. >> won't get her on guns. she can shoot better than he can. on obamacare, 400,000 ke

barack obama and the paradox of process. the devil and dave chapelle and other essays, and a freestyle on the hip-hop aesthetic which was a finalist for the national award for arts writing. and he has a book coming up called "antidote to revolution: african-american anti-communism and the struggle for civil rights." mr. cobb has been a featured commentator on msnbc, national public radio, cnnal al-jazeera d a number of other national broadcast outlets, and you have his twitter line there in the program, and you're certainly urged to follow him as well. with that, it's my pleasure, indeed, to introduce professor jelani cobb. thank you. [applause] >> one, i'd like to begin by saying thank you for inviting me. it's an honor to be here. especially as someone who has been attending this conference for a very long time and from the point where i was a fledgling writer just trying to learn the ropes and find out, you know, how this undertaking, this artistic undertaking really worked. so this conference has been key to me in lots o

barack obama is not on the ballot. but she is. are they going to replace the senator who disagrees with barack obama with whun hone who largely be in agreement. that is a structural flaw in a state that is one of the most problematic for obama. this is a state that bill clinton won twice. just one county in eastern kentucky. not county, chris, bill clinton carried the county with 73% of the vote. mitt romney carried it with 73% of the vote. this is a very, very tough state for barack obama. >> let's go to the absence of personality, i love the personality fighter. coal. if you have a state where coal is a key job creator. and somebody comes in says i am an environmentalist, i have questions. no such thing as clean coal. i don't know her exact position. the way he positioned her. the enemy of the guy who thinks, a friend of a guy now, and the president says it makes you sick. he is going to talk cola again a -- coal again and again and again. >> guns. >> won't get her on guns. she can shoot better than he can. on obamacare, 400,000

obama's candidates, we welcome barack obama in every race. >> if you want to -- >> we want to make a referendum on barack obama. >> this is what the republicans have, what the republicans have done, co-oped the tea party, allowed the koch brothers. >> you guys -- >> koch brothers will spend more to elect republicans than the nrcc and nrsc combined. >> you don't think it's a mistake to go after tea partiers and koch republicans instead of delivering your own economic message? >> you talk about somebody that didn't have a message -- >> hold on, folks, we're going to come back. first we want you at home to weigh in on today's fire back question, have tea party candidates made the republican party stronger or weaker? we want you in on this. reply stronger or weaker using #crossfire. latest from wolf in just a minute. >>> welcome back to "crossfire" and cnn's coverage of america's choice. and even though it's may, happy halloween because the tea party's dragging republicans so far to the right that it's scaring me. >> the orange tie. >> hence the orange tie. >> before we can continue our

and they're also protecting president barack obama. they didn't want to talk about the fact that president barack obama has deported more than 2 million immigrants and that he can do something. president obama has destroyed thousands and thousands of hispanic families. what they can do is first to stop the so-called secure communities program. that means the police could act as immigration agent. but on the other hand, president barack obama is stop deportations of the parents and siblings of u.s. citizens and we're talking about 3 million to 4 million people here. the question is if president barack obama wants to really do that. he says he doesn't have the executive authority to do that. other attorneys don't agree with him. that's what many latinos are expecting. what i think is going to happen is republicans won't move on immigration and then after the summer all of the pressure is going to be on president barack obama even though he doesn't like that. >> on the point of you asking the democrats why are you essentially offering fal

we could have three hours of the things tt barack obama has done right. but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. because no matter what barack obama does, until the day he leaves -- in fact, even the week after the leaves, it doesn't matter. it won't be good enough for them. nothing he can do will ever be good news for them. here's the difference, 5 million more americans voted for barack obama in the last election than they did for mitt romney and he won. they can't handle it. >> that's about right. joe madison, jimy williams, thank you both for your time this evening. >> thank you, reverend sharpton. >> coming up, inside the home of those missing nigerian schoolgirls. we're hearing from the parents tonight why we must not give up hope. this is mike. his long race day starts with back pain... ...and a choice. take 4 advil in a day which is 2 aleve... ...for all day relief.

bush did and hillary clinton did and barack obama did? it was wrong to try? there it's wrong to give away strategic advantages, yes. >> what strategic advantage did the united states give away? >> 10-1 disadvantage in tactical nuclear weapons. >> are you afraid the russians are going to nuke us? is that what you're saying? >> contrary to what the president said, the russians believe we have to get a signoff from the russians to move forward with missile defense. these are serious issues about protecting ourself and our allies. hillary clinton is going to have to account for the deficiencies in the treaty. >> a significant question. you're not afraid of the potential use of nuclear weapons? >> i'm not afraid the russians are going to use nuclear weapons. i never heard you talk about crimea until they did it. i never heard anybody talk about crimea. >> nobody was afraid of russian aggression two, three years ago but we created a vacuum of opportunity. >> rick, we have the strongest military on the face of god's earth. is there any question about that? russia kn

mitch mcconnell will try to run against some hybrid of barack obama. alison is going to try to say, this race is about mitch mcconnell. barack obama is not on the ballot. she said those exact words. she said it last night. you're going to hear that in ads, in speeches. the question is, who's less popular, barack obama, mitch mcconnell, alison grimes? it will be a race to the bottom. this is not going to be a pleasant race to be involved in. it's going to be expensive and it's going to be nasty. >> speaking of nasty, there's georgia's republican runoff, karen. two candidates now running off to face off against michelle nunn, the democratic nominee. >> georgia and kentucky are the only two pickup opportunities that the democrats are looking at this year. and both of them are really uphill races. but what the republicans did in this seven-person race was they sent into the runoff the two guys who are going to have the strongest chance in november against michelle nunn. she's going to have much less of an opportunity to pick off republican leaning voters t

obama ha dicho quiere dar un espacio al diÁlogo antes de imponer sanciones. >>> pero es muy difÍcil entender de que sancionar a esas personas que han cometido violaciones de derechos humanos que eso debe esperar. >>> las medidas aÚn tendrÁn cairo voto ciÓn a en el pleno de ambas cÁmaras. >>> creo que ciertamente si estados unidos llegara a imponer sanciÓn. >>> puede ser visto como que estÁ interviniendo en la democracia venzo lana. >>> debido a la violencia en venezuela y con reclamos de venezolanos aquÍ en la capital estÁ pedirle al gobierno que le de un estatus de protecciÓn temporal. >>> porque hablemos muchos venezolanos perseguidos decÍamos pidiendo asilo polÍtico, hay muchos que cerraron la em sglood tienen como renovar pasaportes, y tienen la visa vencidas. >>> en washington, lori montenegro, para telemundo. >>> una madre lanzÓ a sus hijas por la ventana de un cuarto piso en rusia para salvarlas de un incendio que habÍa bloqueado la salida. >>> abajo estaban los vecinos que usaron sÁbanas como redes para recibir a las hermanas, se salvaron, la papÁ no saltÓ pe

then it trickles up the system and is widespread, then barack obama knew nothing about it. then we're really mad, we're going to get to the bottom of it. no one gets fired and they run out the clock by asking for things like reports and reviews just like president obama did yesterday. in term of shinseki, the reason i think he should go is he was brought in under barack obama to fix the problem. for five years it haept been fixed but the wait times have doubled and backlog has doubled. >> didn't get the job done. >> are you say willing the president zpt care about that? >> i don't think so. >> that's unbelievable. >> you could bring in superman, carrot top, if he doesn't have the blessing of the kmapd irin chief to undmental lir and radically change the industry, how does he do that? what do you expect out of this report? >> spt that what you do, put people in the cabinet positions to make sure that it works? and if it zpt work, you hope that they come back and say, here's what we nit. look, this is a scandal. i disagree with you. i think it's ohm going to get much bigger.

and we are technically opposed to the idea of barack obama also just freely coming to our campus and being honored when he promised so many things and when he has also kept up of the policies and worsened some of the policies, like the drone policies, which the bush administration started. >> carmelo, thanks for coming in. >> thank you. >> "the rachel maddow show" starts now. >> good evening, chris. thank you for that and thank you for those of you joining us at home this hour. his name is california chrome. and on saturday, california chrome won the 140th running of the kentucky derby. even though california chrome went off as the favorite, his story really is a classic underdog tale. in a sport that's all about line annual, his parents weren't from fancy horse stock. his trainer is 77 years old. that's older than anyone that's ever trained a kentucky derby winner. his two owners are outsiders in the world of big-time horse racing. not long ago they turned down an offer of $6 million for their horse. so if you're into a good cinderella story, saturday's kentucky derby had one for yo

barack obama. >> barack obama is a controversial topic for us too because we have discussed barack obama in our meetings. at least in the coalition where 50 to 60 people as a core group. and we are technically opposed to the idea of barack obama also just freely coming to our campus and being honored when he promised so many things and when he has also kept up of the policies and worsened some of the policies, like the drone policies, which the bush administration started. >> carmelo, thanks for coming in. >> thank you. >> "the rachel maddow show" starts now. >> good evening, chris. thank you for that and thank you for those of you joining us at home this hour. his name is california chrome. and on saturday, california chrome won the 140th running of the kentucky derby. even though california chrome went off as the favorite, his story really is a classic underdog tale. in a sport that's all about line his parents weren't from fancy horse stock. his trainer is 77 years old. that's older than anyone that's ever trained a kentucky derby winner. his two owners are outsiders in the world of b

in the east and barack obama is projected to win a substantial victory in north carolina over hillary clinton. >> and now this is the point, this is the moment that republicans made that mistake that they're now regretting, that they're now trying to erase, because it was in the spring of 2008 when it became clear that everyone had been wrong, it became clear that obama was actually going to win the democratic nomination, that there wasn't going to be a clinton restoration at all, when barack obama suddenly supplanted the clintons as the face of the national democratic party. it was at this moment that republicans suddenly, after 15 years of nonstop attacks, that they suddenly let up on the clintons. actually it's more than that. they didn't just let up on the clintons, they started to lionize the clintons. they drew up a new clinton caricature. no wonder were necessity radical immoral ideologues. suddenly with barack obama their new enemy in chief, republicans began talking about the clintons wift fully. this from "the new york times" in 2010 under the headline some in gop find soft

he did not stand up against barack obama. he allowed the debt ceiling to be increased without any cuts in spending. and that's just too liberal for idaho. it's also the case that he's also funded nancy pelosi park in the presidio in san francisco. >> is this a fireable offense? there are parks funded all over the country all the time in congress. their post office is named so because one is named after nancy pelosi, that's a fireable offense? >> but you've got to look at the facts. congressman simpson joined with only ten republicans in funding a $24 million park. 224 republicans voted against that. for me that's just too liberal and for idaho voters, that's just too liberal. but that's just one of many offenses. congressman simpson was one of only three republicans who voted in favor of funding a.c.o.r.n. 230 republicans voted against that and that's just too liberal. >> let me ask you this, the club for growth has made it clear that they're letting a lot of washington reporters know, hey, we haven't been spending any money

where barack obama has outlined the next stage for the foreign policy. he told military graduates that the world is changing and that presents new dangers. a group of decentralized al-qaeda affiliates and u.s. needs to match that without stretching the military thin or stirring up resentment. >> the u.s. military remains the onremains theindispensable ima - >> fellow at the institute for policy studies. phillies, good to have yofillp g that you hadn't heard before? >> it was interesting to hear them address the question of anything that is not military. it begs the question of who says that the u.s. must always lead. i don't know that the rest of the world necessarily agrees with that. but to the degree that he would talk about non non-military leadership would be a good thing. in a situation where clearly the military is not going to be able to make the situation any better. so all of his rhetoric about this isn't just about military solutions not every problem has a military solution. that's fine, but he is not looking for non-military solutions. >> to

that's barack obama, the president. mitch mcconnell is going to frame it about the president and his agenda and obamacare and going to try to tie grimes to the president. we heard it in the speech last night. take a listen. >> my opponent is in this race because barack obama and harry reid want her to be in this race. a vote for my opponent is a vote for obamacare and the president who sold it to us on a mountain of lies. >> mitch mcconnell would have you believe that president barack obama is on kentucky's 2014 election ballot. wol, let me set the record straight tonight for our senior senator who is out of touch with the commonwealth of kentucky. president obama is not on kentucky's 2014 election -- >> just a taes of things to come. starting this morning in kentucky, a pro-mcconnell superpac is outside with half a million dollars in ads attacking grimes. this could be the most expensive senate run. this could top it in november. >> it's a great time to be a political consultant right now. could be helping the economy

barack obama says 10,000 u.s. troops will remain in afghanistan after 2014. that's compared to 32 american forces there now. afghanistan still must sign a security agreement with the u.s. for any american troops to remain. >> ukraine's airport appears to be under military control after monday's offensive against pro russia separatists. 40 people were killed and more than 30 wounded. separatists say 35 of their fighters are among the dead. >> underwater search for malaysia flight 370 set to go on hold for two months. blue fin 21 submersible ends its mission. the american sonar drone the only underwater vessel looking for the airplane lately. search officials have not arranged for replacement. >> few hours from now the u.s. president is expected to deliver a major speech. both defending his foreign policy and trying to redefine it now that the war in iraq is over. end date has been stet. critics, accuse the president for failing to show leadership on fronts. even his lateest anouncn aest as come under fire. for more on that and the problems facing barack obama,

when hillary clinton/barack obama primary was going down, she sided with hillary clinton. some people who didn't understand the depth of her thinking would have thought maybe she would automatically beep with barack obama. she was not. >> she was not. at that time t. hillary clinton did need endorsers in the african-american community of stature. she was losing her lead rapidly against barack obama and african-americans. a pivotal endorsement. she made a video, spoke of her pride of being supporter of hillary clinton played at fundraisers used around the country. she took a lot of heat for tip. of course once barack obama won the primary she became a huge supporter and talked of her joy at seeing him, ascend to the white house. at the time you have to remember too the big thing about maya angelou, is that she was a tremendous activist for women. a tremendous activist. pushing back against even the civil rights movements. sort of exclusion of women from leadership. so i think her endorsement of hillary was friendship and advocacy of her gender. >> right. she also used it at

obama, and no matter what the issues are, how she takes position similar to barack obama, and voters here do not consider her part of the same party as the president. that is her challenge. >> thank you, both. i want to bring in democrat congressman from kentucky this morn morning. >> thank you, chris. >> and now ted jackson suggest ed that she going to lose her luster, and i want to quote him, her overly dramatic style is more suited for a game show host and not going to wear with the vo voters well, and you know alison grimes, and you know the state, and what are the challenges here going up against the mitch mcconnell? >> well, the outside money going to be significant, and there has been $7 million already spent attacking her, and mitch has spent $7 million of his own money already, and there are 17 straight polls where she is tied or ahead, and he is tap theed out at low 40s, so it is hard to see how he can improve the stock. he has to discredit her, and the people understand that he is going to try to raise that obama issue, but we al ti is that -- but reality is if she is goin

barack obama's candidates preach independence but practice loyalty above all else. tonight i'm confident of this. kentuckyians are not going to be deceived. alison grimes is barack obama's candidate. >> yes, that is the minority leader of the senate complaining about people being too washington. grimes for her part wasn't too pleased with the characterization, firing back that she is the most unwashington of the washingtonites. >> well, i'm here to tell you tonight, my fellow kentuckyians, i am not an empty dress, i am not a rubber stamp, and i am not a cheerleader. i am a strong kentucky woman who is an independent thinker, as kentucky's next united states senator. i'll answer to the people of this state. i won't answer to the president, no matter who he or she might be. >> see, guys, she's got no ties to washington at all, not to barack obama, not to any clintons, forget about bill clinton campaigning for her. politicians trying to get to washington generally have ties to washington. aren't you a little tired of primary candidates pretending otherwise, all the tim

when you hold someone accountable, it takes energy and resource and barack obama is lazy. he warned us that he was lazy and attributed that to having been brought up in hawaii. it's his words, not mine, and another thing is that barack obama still doesn't see what the main problem is, the main problem is government. it's not the solution like ronald reagan said. it is the problem. he doesn't recognize that. so he will continue to do what he's doing in status quo is fine with him. he's not called out as often as he should be because the media, the referee in this, game of politics isn't doing its job and holding him accountable. >> what are your plans for the election this year? >> to continue to get out there and campaign hard for people who will be in washington dc to fight to protect the constitution and for our freedoms and for a vibrant economy again. it's to undo everything that barack obama and his party, the democrats have done to this country to put us in the boat that we're in. i'll continue to campaign hard for people, maybe people who the most of their voters ha

. >> well, i mean, we've seen it since barack obama became the front-runner in 2008. the hatred that has propelled conservatives and republicans to do everything in their power to go after him. i agree with you they're going to do that against hillary clinton. she is the front-runner in 2016. it gives us a chance to sit down in our nation and think about what should our foreign policy be and how has the u.s. dealt with africa, the continent. >> a wednesday report in the daily beast titled hillary state department refused to brand boko haram as terrorists. several were quick to blame former secretary of state hillary clinton for what's going on in nigeria even charging her with hypocrisy. here it is. >> now word is because we dp not place them on the terror list of officially known terrorist groups, it's going to be harder to go after them. and who exactly made sure that they were not placed on the terror list? hillary clinton. for hillary clinton now over the last couple of days to talk about how bad they are given the fact that she could have done something a couple

it was just going to be something silent. >> what about barack obama? would you be okay with barack obama? >> oh, no. >> coming in and giving a speech. >> not at all. this came up in our meetings, barack obama because we knew that people would try to bring it it up as backlash. under barack obama we have much more drone attack than we had under the bush administration they are all being authorized. >> i'm going to go down the list. how about al sharpton would he be okay to speak. >> i'm here in representation of a whole group with a lot of ideas. and one thing that we have have been stressing and focusing on is not putting out names of who we would like or who we wouldn't like because you are acting as judge, jury and executioner. executioner getting the honorary degree and taking the commencement speaker away from someone. you said someone with a tainted record as a public servant shouldn't speak. well, tainted according to whom? she has never been brought to trial as a war criminal. that's patently absurd. that's your point of view. but you're actuall

but, the perception, the perception that barack obama is not a strong leader circle. brought that perception on himself often he seems befuddled by major problems. not informed, disengaged. when mr. obama does finally commit to strong action when he threatened tyrant in assad. result some of the people working under him do not fear accountability this phoenix v.a. situation is so bad the fbi should be involved 14 v.a. medical people are making more than $300,000 each every year. and they may have cooked the books to protect those huge salary. as sean hannity said on the radio today that's a fine. knew the shinseki and the president weren't paying lies about how long veterans have to wait for medical care. talking points admits that kind of deception is going on all over the federal government. no one was held available for the benghazi mess except the whistle blow except lois lerner forced to resign after taking the fifth. fast and use lost. and the president d. dithers. he dithers about replacing incompetent leaders like shinseki. that's weak leadership. if you are a

president barack obama today. >> obama outlined his vision for u.s. foreign-policy in a sweeping speech at the u.s. military academy. speaking to both a global television audience and graduating cadets at west point, obama said the u.s. should ink beyond using the military to solve u.s. problems. he said counterterrorism measures will remain in focus and that cooperation with international partners is the way forward. >> this beach came one day after putting forward a plan to end america's longest war, the country's 12-year deployment in a canna stand. -- in afghanistan. >> this year's graduates from the elite that point military academy will be the first in over a decade not to serve in iraq or afghanistan. that was a key message in president obama's address to the class of 2014. he used the speech to lash out at critics who accuse him of weakening america's image. >> here's my bottom line -- america must always lead on the world stage. if we don't, no one else will. >> but the president also warned against the u.s. entering wars lightly. he said the

barack obama going up the prospect of measures targeting defence and finance. this is in ukraine to govern helicopters were shot down the aisle to get defensive. it's a good sled dogs has also been deadly stuff streaking up the southern port city of deaths. at least three killed there. also the newsletter may not have a new president can lay claim to the minister along with most eligible bachelor. the actions of george clooney's impeachment to human rights attorney and all of the team. i was char while ago here on false and get you her press conference from the white house. a lot of it. reacting to what's been up friday of escalation in both eastern and southern ukraine. in the port of odessa. three killed in clashes between pro russian protesters and supporters of ukrainian unity. meanwhile anton offensive by government forces on the eastern city of sled dogs marks for the shooting down two ukrainian helicopters kids security services when one was hit by a surface to air missiles. obama and such weaponry can only be the work of moscow the ukrainian holocaust t

when barack obama was a presidential candidate he made a visit as you will recall to afghanistan. so maybe you were even on this trip. he made the decision to rather than first meets president karzai to stop off first in jalalabad and say hello to the governor. he wanted to be photographed leaving american troops on the field and he wanted to go where everybody went so they had to find a place that was reasonably secure and have an airfield big enough for the plaintive land, and therefore they took them to jalalabaintojalalabad to me to n soldiers. however, they said while you are here the first thing you must do is agree to the governor to embrace him and that was the picture that the afghans saw of barack obama. they took credit for that joke. that story had tremendous length because people interpreted that story in a number of ways. other places saw as people said to me if barack obama first comes to see the governor before he goes to see hamid karzai what does that mean? it means that he wants the government to be president. it means he thinks everything that the government is
