[crowd chanting] obama! obama! obama! - thank you! ♪ - the primaries of 2007-2008 are giving democratic voters a choice between two historic candidacies. hillary clinton comes into the election the presumed front-runner. she has a lot of advantages. for example, in war chest. and a large part of the democratic establishment endorsing her. barack obama comes in with three advantages. the first is, he's not tied to the establishment. as a result, he is a candidate of change. the second is, he is tactically being advised by people who have a better understanding of how the primary system aggregates delegates. and the third advantage is mobilizing the young to take his message door to door, but also simultaneously to use their online expertise to identify those voters. - hey everybody, it's david plouffe, barack's campaign manager, and we just wanted to spend a few minutes today with you, updating you on where the race stands and what our opponents are up to. - i hope that you use this website as a tool to organize your friends, your ne

it was the first time he actually met barack obama. he then went to capitol hill and visited top republicans, and throughout it all he was assiduously civil. our north america editor jon sopel has more. jon: from january it will be air force one, but donald trump flew to washington on his own signature plane, ahead of another extraordinary day in the political story of the. united states. and then the jaw-dropping, rub your eyes moment, donald trump sitting in the oval office with barack obama. loathing put and aside as the president and, well, the apprentice, assured a smooth transition. president obama: well, i have a opportunity to happen next like -- have an excellent conversation with president-elect trump, and as i my priority in, the coming two months is to facilitate a transition that ensures our president-elect is successful. president-elect trump: i very much look forward to dealing with the president in the future, including counsel. he explained some of the difficulties, some of the highflying assets, some of the really gre

obama did. i do think foreign policy's probably going to be his biggest learning curve, and that is when the hope comes in that he does utilize some of that business experience as far as delegating, as far as identifying the right people. and this is what he said before, he said this during his acceptance speech, one of his best qualities is identifying the untapped pebble in people -- potential in people. finding the right people, delegating to them, trusting those individuals and trusting their experiences. >> one of the most important things about a successful foreign policy and projecting strength is having your enemy or your opponents believe you will do anything. and that's a very good thing. and nobody believes president obama is going to do anything, and that's why everything is a disaster whether it's in north africa or syria or iran. but there is -- and i get it, donald trump can be some of the things that he says can be very uncomfortable and unsettling, but that's not a bad thing. an

obama showed mrs. trump, the former state rooms and the truman balcony. >>> vice president biden has met vice president-elect mike pence discussing his upcoming duties and looked over biden's policy portfolios that include the nato alliance and expanding access to the middle class. biden and pence have been friends since they served in congress together from 2001 until 2009. there's talk donald trump could be looking inside his own family to find his chief of staff. trump's son-in-law jared kushner was seen walking with obama's chief of staff denis mcdonough at the white house. was also a key adviser during the campaign. >>> the trump team shook things up with the media breaking protocol and bucking a long-standing practice of allowing reporters to track america's new leader. mr. trump left new york city without pool reporters and kept them in the dark during his historic first meetings with leaders in washington including president obama. one reporter says it sets a dangerous precedent. >>> anyone who

the obama policies, and as president obama himself has said. when my policies are always on the ballot, even when i'm not. he's a great vote getter himself. but when his policies are on the ballot they get slaughtered. so he's not on the ballot anymore so i would be careful. >> donald trump has got to be. i think after he has used his opponent for a foil, he won't mind it a bit. >> putin brushed the president aside in the farewell today. the president better put on his seat belt because in six months he won't recognize any of his legacy. obamacare and the 15 years' wars in the middle east will be in a different environment. lou: this will be interesting to see. his choice for defense secretary. i said and i think he meant it, that he knows more about what's happening with those wars in afghanistan than many of the general officers and a 15-year-long war against rad -- radical islamists demonstrates his case. >> he's looking at superb men, great leaders. whether in the military or not in the middle, they are leaders. anybody who gets a star in t

and obama said obama care wouldn't cost anybody a cent, where it did. >> john, one of the biggest problems with obama care, we all know, we all warned, one size does not fit all, we're a country of well over 300 million. block granting, that is giving states the power over the federal government, how to spend medicaid is at least one way of getting away from that one size fits all, right? >> certainly you don't want a federal solution for what is a local question. but i even don't like block grants, the realty is that if you get government out of the way of this, you have all sorts of insurers coming in, offering all sorts of different health care plans, the problem is mandate, you don't need to m mandate cars, computers. >> john is a pure libertarian and we love it, it may not be practical, but it's awfully appealing, is it not. >> yes, it is awfully appealing. and the real benefit of doing all of this is if we go to a free market system. it's chronic conditions brought on by bad behavior is the cast that ee's blowing our health ca costs through the roof. >> that's the key, getting as lit

problem is president obama vetoed it. now we have president trump coming who is asking us to do this. >> reporter: advisors tell cnn both men have had positive things to say about the other in the wake of private meetings and post-election phone calls, but the two have more than just a strained relationship standing in their way. ryan has faced criticism from conservative house republicans for not fully supporting trump as the nominee and ryan splits on crucial issues like entitlement reform, trade, and and his hard-line immigration stance but for now at least it appears each man is focusing on where they have common ground rather than differences. >> how do we make sure we are hitting the ground running? we are very excited about working with him to make sure that is the case. >> phil joins me now from outside trump tower in new york. donald trump has a long and in many ways controversial agenda. paul ryan for his part has his own lengthy agenda. which gets priority next year? >> reporter: well, anderson, i can tell you

clinton missed obama's mark by a lot. votes. just look at milwaukee, a city the clinton team banked on winning big. clinton got 43,000 fewer votes than obama did. turnout was down overall, which suggests those folks didn't switch parties, they simply stayed home. those folks lost votes in milwaukee alone were enough to cost her the state. she lost wisconsin to donald trump by roughly 27,000 votes. wow. obama coalition to beat donald trump and in states like wisconsin, along with michigan and ohio and pennsylvania, she wasn't able to do that. she needed to make sure obama voters didn't become trump voters. clearly in some states that happened too. coming up, looking forward. how [vo] wells fargo is making changes to make things right. first, all customers who have been impacted will be fully refunded. second, a confirmation will be sent when new personal or small business checking, savings or e've eliminated product sales goals for our retail bankers to ensure your interests are put first. we're taking action. >>> back now with t

there were obama '12 voters that voted trump. it's clear it was an economic message that they were trying to send. how did this happen? >> well, i think that people have been looking at 40 years of flat wages. you know, the reality is, you got folks in diners and hair shops and barber shops all over this country who look at their own lives and think, you know, my parents did better than i'm doing and my kids might not do as well as i'm doing. that's because wages have been flat for so long. they feel like there's two systems of justice. over there at wells fargo, you had all this scandal going on there, the ceo leaves with a giant package. other folks get a lot of trouble for doing less. the truth is, we have got to make america work for working people again. we have to have a shared prosperity. we have to make that our job number one. chuck, four minimum wage ballot measures succeeded tuesday. people want a better economic playing field for working americans. they're voting for it. our job is to make sure that people know the de

it wasn't as strong as the obama 0 coalition had been. millions of voters voted for a obama that stayed home. >> it was not. i think several reasons. first of all, every candidate is different. i don't think that cool is transferable. and president obama did his level best to be on the campaign trail for secretary clinton. he and first lady michelle obama. they did their part in campaigning for her. in the end some of her surrogates showed she needed them, get the rappers and celebrities out there it detracts from the messenger and donald trump was the best messenger. you can't take that away from him. this was always a change election. people missed something so often in front of them. you can't say 70 prgs of americans want to take the country in a new, different direction and yet they are not going to vote for the guy that represents a new, different direction. they did in fact vote for the guy. also i think in modelling the electorate, there were conclusions in search of evidence. i think politics today puts people in boxes too easily

obama. as far as i know, mr. bush never tried to lobby president obama directly to maintain some of his policies, but you just told us that the president will have the opportunity to talk to the president-elect trump about some of these policies. are you suggesting that mr. obama is going to lobby mr. trump directly to maintain some of these policies that mr. trump has repeatedly excoriated on the campaign trail, and if that's i going to happen, does that mean that the iran deal, immigration limits, transgender bathrooms, all those things are sort of gone on january 21 yakker sjr 21st? -- january 21? i can speak to the nature of the conversations between president bush and then president-elect obama. i don't know if president bush lobbied president obama on any issues or not. i think what i would say in terms of trying to help you get a sense of the comes of conversations i am trying to describe, i would not use the word "lobby." when i would use is i would intent ofsay the president obama and his team is brief p

but what president obama is well, what s -- president obama is committed to is an effective transition that helps bring president elect trump and his team up to speed on the current status of u.s. policy, including foreign policy. and there is a long tradition of presidents -- even presidents in different parties -- seeking to preserve some measure of continuity, particularly where those interests align. i wouldn't predict at this point how all that shakes out. the one thing that i would point out is that there are the n situations where downside of unilaterally withdrawing from some of these international agreements is significant. so the consequences, for example, with the iran deal of the g out, you do risk iranians trying to break out. at the same time, there's also a u.n. security council resolution that applies to this agreement. that means this agreement is something that is supported by -- llies but alleges by also by russia. i think that could be a good indication of how united the international community is behind this agreement. and president-elect trump will have to decide

president obama is from chicago, he's here on the show -- >> barack obama? [ cheers and applause ] >> he's a white sox fan but i forgive him. >> jimmy: that's very big of you. >> he's been terrific. you know what that guy ought to do now that he's got some time? >> jimmy: what? >> open a shrimp shack. >> jimmy: a what? >> yeah. a shrimp shack. >> jimmy: a shrimp shack? >> everybody loves shrimp, jeffrey. >> jimmy: jimmy. >> there's something about them. they're tasty. he can call it something like, obama's world of shrimp. >> jimmy: oh, that's -- >> people digging in, enjoying their shrimp. he could come around. how are you enjoying your shrimp? >> jimmy: okay. >> are they hot enough for you? throw in a baked potato wrapped in tinfoil and we got ourselves a road win. >> jimmy: oh, that -- maybe some beer with the shrimp, i remember how much you loved that. do they have beer in heaven? >> hell, yes, they have beer. not just any beer. budweiser beer!

obama is fine. thatd great, and the fact you compare him with donald trump, that is the reason his approval ratings are so high -- people love in. people love them. we pray for him every sunday in church. [laughter] trump is so bad that when something is bad even it looks good. [laughter] ask me aboutdn't all that. [laughter] >> this focus is about president obama and his administration and you made the point the party also had a part to play in that. shermichael earlier made the point that though the hope and change was important in terms of the cultural response but certainly black americans it still didn't translate into policy that he could pinpoint. a lot of the criticism for president obama was in the rain he could dowhat regarding policy. there was no emphasis on targeting the policy for african-americans specifically. none. i know you've been a chief critic about this, so for many is paramount in opportunities missed. >> he said in the midst of 2012 in the second run for president , just to

he talked ton telephone with president obama for nearly one hour on saturday. and is continuing to work on naming more key advisers to his administration. but the drama continues to surround who will be the next secretary of state. and the two front-runners for the chief diplomat reportedly continue to be not the guy on the right but

president obama: what is your name? [indiscernible] president obama: nice to meet you. you are a student? >> yes. [cheers] president obama: you have some classmates here. the united states is such a big country that after an election people are uncertain. i think it will be important for everybody around the world to not make immediate judgments, but give the new president elect a chance to examine issues, to determine whether policies will be -- what their policies will be, because what i have said is the way that you campaign is not the way you will govern. we are trying to stir up passions, but when you govern you have reality in front of you and you have to decide, how will i make this work. the alliance between the u.s. and europe through nato is very strong. and the president elect, donald trump, has already reaffirmed our commitment to nato. we have been asking for europe to carry more of the burden of defense spending than they have been doing, because the united states spends a lot more than some of our partners. and they recognize the need for them to spend mo

then you go to the tax obama care issues. i haven't worked too much on the obamacare issues, so i'll laeig that to someone else. on the tax bill, i think we can pass something in the first 150 this is being discussed, not certain -- that you do a kind of jobs bill right out of the gate that has the business tax cuts which is really the heart of the plan, getting that rate down to 15%. we think we can get that through the house in 30 days because it's so similar to what paul ryan wants to do. then you take it over to the senate. as you said, maybe that's infrastructure spending in that package to get some democratic votes. then i think you could get something with perhaps 65 votes in the senate. you may not need the so-called reconciliation -- >> i talked to kevin brady, chairman of house ways and means committee. he said he doesn't want to split corporate tax reform from individual tax reform because he believes that you have to do the two together to make the kind of efficient allocation of capital, number one. number two, p

obama is fine. he did great and as you compare them with trump and his approval ratings are so high people love him and pray for him every sunday in church. [laughter] trump is so bad that when something is bad even it looks good. [laughter] i know you didn't ask me all that -- [laughter] >> this focus is about president obama and his administration and you made the point the party also had a part to play in that. michael earlier made the point that though the hope and change was important in terms of the cultural response but certainly america, it still didn't translate into policy that he could pinpoint. a lot of the criticism for president obama was in the rain -- in the range of what he could do regarding policy. there is no emphasis on targeting the policy for african-americans specifically. i know you've been a chief critic about this, so for many people -- this is paramount to opportunities. >> he said in the midst of 2012 in the second run for president just to clarify, i'm the president of

obama's executive orders. marc thiessen and mark hannah are here on that. >>> plus now that the gop controls the white house and congress, obamacare will almost certainly be repealed and replaced. what does dr. ezekiel emanuel the law's chief architect have to say about that. he's here live. don't go away. >> we can replace obamacare and save health care for every family. with passion... but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my purchasing. and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... which adds fuel to my bottom line. what's in your wallet? see me. see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know that psoriasis is just something that i have. i'm not contagious. see me to know that... ...i won't stop until i find what works. discover cosentyx, a different kind of medicine for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. proven t

president obama has said elwell to europe after his final tour of the continent. before saying goodbye to his post, chancellor merkel, and the human, he made europeans anxious. meanwhile, washington is bracing for some bruising presidential battles. the president-elect has picked a number of republican hardliners for the top jobs. now back to business news. a huge story in germany, those of us who thought the dieselgate scandal was over, we were wrong. >> is not over and still has consequences for employees. everyone knew it was coming. it was just a matter of time. volkswagen just announced it would cut up to 30,000 jobs. a move of this scale is unprecedented. the savings plan is a desperate attempt to recover from the famous dieselgate scandal. >> a great step forward is how volkswagen management described its plans for the future. it was negotiated within the german carmaker for months. now the direction is clear -- vw workers will bear the burden of the plans which will cost jobs. the pact for the future is the biggest reform program in our company's history.

the cuban pressthe cuban press g headline where obama said we should forget the past, where obama actually said we should set aside the past to move forward. fidel wanted to hold on to the glory of the cuban revolution. julia: he also liked americans. when he was in power and after, he played host to hundreds and hundreds of americans. jeffrey: i should point out he played host to the two of us for a week in 2010. [laughter] jeffrey: julie and i went with the kennedy family. are you ordering that he wanted respect and recognition? his talk,, looking at he walked but reciprocity he , wanted to be treated as equal. he wanted to be regarded as much larger than the size of the platform of cuba. jeffrey: i need to point out that this is a man who in the cuban missile crisis asked to watch the nuclear annihilation of the united states. julia: what did he tell you about that? jeffrey: he told me in 2010 that it was a bit too much, his biggest never mind moment in history. . you can say that he liked the united states. julia: he liked americans. jeffrey: he would kill americans in the course of nu

very much, president obama. this was a meeting that was going to last for maybe 10 or 15 minutes, and we were just going to get to know each trth. we had -- each other. we had never met each other. i had great respect. the meeting lasted for almost an hour and a half. and it could have -- as far as i'm concerned, it could have gone on for a lot longer. we discussed a lot of different situations, some wonderful and some difficulties. with the president in the future, including couns counsel. he explained some of the difficulties, some of the high-flying assets and some of the -- some of the really great things that have been achieved. so mr. president, it was a great honor being with you. and i look forward to being with you many, many more times in the future. >> good luck. thank you. >> still cameras clicking away, capturing that moment. that wasn't the only highly anticipated where mr. trump -- with mr. trump today. nbc has details. >> reporter: trump at the white house today trying to rebuild the bridges he b

first time meeting michelle obama too. first lady whose inspiring convention speech in 2008 -- >> because we want our children and our children in this nation to know -- >> because we want our children in this nation to know -- >> reporter: clearly inspired the next first lady's speech in 2016. >> that the only limit to the the reach of your dreams and willingness to work hard for them. >> that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them. >> reporter: out on the campaign trail, michelle obama did not color punches about donald trump. >> i can't believe i'm saying that a candidate for president of the united states has brag about sexually assaulting been awkward for them too. we're told they had a tour, sat for tea, talked about what it's like to raise children in the white house, but this is not any ordinary meeting. >> reporter: maybe not, but trump was happy tweeting a fantastic day, really good meeting. great chemistry. melania liked mrs. o a lot. it was a goo

i think obama will be a blend of the two. he will not led the democratic party or appearing on cable news show. but raise bibillion for the library endowment and make public speeches and he will make commentary on the president. the eran of clinton and obama are largely over and it is critical for democrats to find new voices to articulate the democratic vow of the world and do it in a constructive way and it is a time for new blood and spirit inside of the democratic party. everybody understands that it. >> we played a clip from sean hanity from former president bush 43, he is it not think it is helpful to the country or presidency if one president piles on you know, and advises his successor, what do you think? >> listen, i think the democratic party is in disarray and president obama is at a loss. think about what you just covered. president-elect trump has the most transparent p process of selecting a cabinet. he's engaging democrat and republican and rivals and former friends and all of these people in a way that is lead

trump meets president obama for the fi trump sitting down with michelle obama. what was discussed at the white house and on capitol hill. and the trump team's one big break from what past presidents have done. >> we're reading the body language and expert analysis from the trump/obama meeting. what their eye contact and seating position said. >>> and caught on camera, a car smashes through a store. a customer inside inches away >> good friday morning, everyone. i'm kendis gibson. >> and i'm adrienne bankert in for diane. we begin with anti-trump anger spilling into the streets again overnight. >> it is happening right now. the protests in portland, oregon, taking a violent turn escalating into what police called a riot as protesters vandalize cars and buildings, smashing windows, hurling projectiles at police. a live look at portland right now in the early morning hours. you can see police in riot gear are still out there in force and made several arrests. people there in custody, and this is after protesters have been throwing glass bottles at officers. officer

and then eight years ago exactly to this day i joined the obama -- obama biden transition team. working with their teams as they transitioned into the government. taken over from the bush administration. working with secretary clinton did in the white house. in terms of how i got in the room where it happens i ask myself that question oftentimes. but i what i wanted to try to do with this book is not right about my experience. i try to buck the trend. there is usually one of two kinds of books. it's a kind of book that places the author at the center of every pivotal event that occurred while they were in government. also the kind of book that says all of their former colleagues screwed everything up and if they've only listen to the author than everything would be great. some of them try to do both at the same time. i try to defy that in this book. it draws on my experiences serving as a state department. as i think about obama's foreign policy in the america's role in the world. in the debate we've been having. in a challenging question that we have before us on military inter

obama and hopefully will get it to you. the president called it an excellent meeting. >> we talked about some of the organizational issues in the white house and talked about foreign policy and as i said last night. >> mr. president, it was a great honor to being with you. and look forward to being with you many more times, thank you. >> we are not going to take any questions. >> that's call the white house pool spray. send in one camera and a still photographer and at the end they cut the mike and at one point you don't hear it. it was not recorded on the audio, mr. trump said barrack obama is a good man. a lot of the old grudges slowly patched up real quickly. and the job of transitioning to the new president. >> thank you for that. and getting more color as far as donald trump's time in washington d.c. we have producers tracking his movement from the white house to it the capitol club. and trump gave reporters the thumps up. and support issers are on the street and one holding a trump sign and mafrng you, melania sign. a

like obama and affordable care act. while the president talks about trying to make this transition as smooth as possible. i got to believe that at some levels and many levels, it is going to be a tough thing. >> you talked about yesterday of the mood at the white house, just specifically of your point of obamacare, we have these new numbers from the department of health and human services that sign ups for obamacare and the open enroll m periment period i than 100,000 people selected plans on healthcare.gov. that was on wednesday. the fact that there is going to be an executive order that he launches. the mood today is lighter. the sun has returned and people su understand that the earth will continue to spin on its axis. >> has the mood lighten a little bit? >> reality is grasping people. yesterday and right after the election and that night, a lot of people are having trouble. and now the feeling is lets get to work and do what we have to do and make the final 70 some days of the administration productive. the focus i

i've seen people come out in droves for obama in 2008. i have seen them not couple out in our governor's race in 2009. what happened after that race, the earned income tax credit was cut, protecting millionaires in our state but cutting poor people, raising taxes on poor people. attacked. elections have consequences. name it whatever you want, but when you don't come out and vote, some people might think, it's not going to affect my life. but there are people in this nation on margins that elections like this will hurt and will have a deep impact. again, that's why put me in the opposition. put me in those people that are going to resist those things in our country that are going to happen now where the folks who now are in power have said -- they have told us who they are. they have an agenda that's going to hurt those folks who are americans struggling. we're going to have to do everything question to fight against that to make sure that even though we didn't get big turnouts where we needed -- we had the votes we needed to win. even th

and the obamas have made no secret out of the fact that michelle obama did not want barack obama to run for president. didn't want him to stay in politics. their kids were very young. and she agreed one more run, when he ran for the senate. and he won. and then they were off to the races. but it's very -- she was very angrybout the birtherism thing, for one thing. which is so remarkable how she carried on so well today. i wonder if the conversation between her and barack was like the conversation that my wife would have with me, if i asked her to come and be real nice to the trumps this evening, just one more time, honey, right? not an easy thing to do. >> i think those conversations would be treasures. i would like the 90 minutes they had, the two guys they had today in the oval office. we'll be right back. the roundtable is sticking with us, and up next, these two will tell me something i don't know. this is "hardball," the place for politics. yeah, with liberty mutual all i needed to do to get an estimate was snap a photo of the damage and voila! voila!

and obama's predecessors. yes, there is a big opportunity here for that relationship to be built. of course trump comes into office under the shadow of the idea that, you know, the kremlin may have been involved in trying to distort the election campaign. >> matthew chance live for us tonight in moscow thank you very much. nic robertson is in irbil, iraq, when trump becomes our next commander in chief he not only inherits the fight against isis he is obviously now getting intelligence breathe briefings in the midst of the fight for mosul. >> no previous president has come into a situation in the mooel middle east where the situation is so chaotic and so dangerous -- united states allies, the relationships here are a house of cards built on sand. there is support for donald trump's willingness to take isis head on. he has had congratulatory messages from the president of iraq from the president of the kurdish region here. but there is concern, concern about what donald trump said about muslims. this is a muslim
