Announce my candidacy for president of the United States of america. Early in the campaign, black people were feeling somewhat neglected. Is he going to represent us . Is he going to take our issues seriously . People felt he wasnt black enough. Mccains crowds turned uglier. The discussion of race in this campaign has taken a particularly divisive turn. This is not a man who sees america the way that you and i see america. Okay, youre rolling. You obviously put a lot of thought into the decision to do this. Have you given thought to when youre successful, what would you want people to say about how america was different than the day you walked in the door . I dont think that were going to solve all our problems in eight years or ten years. One of the things about life, both for each of us and for the country as a whole, is that there are always going to be new challenges. There are always going to be new difficulties. But i hope that at the end of an obama administration, people will l

John, you say protesters try and targeting our economy will backfire on these protesters. Yeah. I do. Look, dr. King i think was one of the greatest men of our country. I wish he lived to be 100 years old because he did so much in the little time he was here on earth. But his protests were not militant. His protests were not harassing of innocent people that were just coming by to shop in a store. And i think you lose the message. People take black friday off to go shopping. If they go down and cant get in, theyre being called names for trying to go into a store which by the way has nothing to do with what theyre protesting. I think it hurts the message. Im sympathetic to the protesters, the protest over the mag nif sent mile was i agree with what their cause is. They want an elected committee to oversee the police. I get that. I think its lost when its protesting magnificent mile and protest theyve had which is good is lost as well. Morgan, do you think it will backfire . I do. I agre
To make it harder on an incoming president when the guy replaced wont shut up . Absolutely. Can you imagine any job do you want the last person that had it opining on your performance .

He didnt comment. The economy was he never he had so many chances. I can see the first year, but nothing for eight years. But really to say somehow hes going to keep donald trump in check, hes some sort of a, you know, alternative out there, some sort of social conscious that will make sure that the new president does the right thing is absurd. But it does speak to his ego. What do you think . Well, i remember when jack welsh gave picked jeff immelt to run ge. Afterwards that was jacks pick, but afterwards they didnt get along. Right. Very much at odds about the management of the company. Immelt used to say
