the flip side is there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt because i'm a black president. charles payne says if anything is holding this president back, it's as policies, not his race. >> what do you mean? >> the policies have been -- you have had five years, you have a report card that is a terrible report card. and you have to pay the consequences, no matter who you are or what color you are. here's the thing that really for me permanently disappointing with president obama. i thought he was uniquely positioned to take the country to the next level with respect to race relations. nobody would argue that it's not racism out there and still a ways to go. in my lifetime, i thought he was the right person to take us to the next level. one thing we all can agree on, this notion we want to be a more perfect nation, the country has worked hard toward that and that's one thing every american should be proud of.
