The fbi announced this week it did not follow through on a tip last month about cruz and guns. President trump tweeted, very sad the fbi missed all the many signals sent out by the Florida School shooter. This is not acceptable. Ive dont know that the signs were missed. There were multiple, multiple reports and contacts. Our agency included. On a local tv program, Broward County sheriff scott israel pushed for laws that would grant police more purz to detain those who make threats online. Over the coming weeks we are going to find Law Enforcement contacted, went to the home, or went to where the killer was. And they were handcuffed with what they could do.

On this president s day, the official portraits of barack and Michelle Obama are now on display in washington. The artist who painted the former first lady, overcame great challenges before her work was etched into history. Alex wagner has her story. Reporter last week, amy cheryl went from being a virtual unknown to one of the most talked about artists in the world. On monday, her painting of Michelle Obama was unveiled at the national poraitr alongsid e thega portrait of president barack obama. Both cheryl and wily were interviewed and chosen for the job by the obamas themselves. She came in and she looked at barack and she said, well, mr. President , i am really excited to be here the i know i am being consider ford both portraits, she said, but mrs. Obama, she physically turned to me, andhe said, im really hoping that you and i can work together. Haha. You maybe had a particular interest in painting her. Yeah. Yeah, yes. I mean he was asking questions as well. And she was like, no, no, no. Unlike wily, president obamas portrait, amy cheryl had been largely unknown. This was her big break. You had taken out loans. You waited tables. Tell us how Game Changing this moment is . I am relieved that i can pay back my school tloenloans. It is not about hard work. You have to put the work in. That doesnt mean you will make it. Ive mean hustling for that long, it kind of chips away at your selfesteem. And then the breakthrough al ari am. Her models exclusively black and never smiling are usually strangers she meets on the street. Not former first ladies. As the process onto on, with the first lady, did you get more comfortable . I did. Yeah. We had two sittings. But you are still always a little nervous having to look her in her eyes. I have to study the face before i photograph each shot. Figure out what i want. There was little intense moments where you have to have courage to keep looking because you get bashful, because you are looking act the first lady. Why do you paint black skin as, in gray scale . It just looked good. Like the gray skin on the bright colors. It looked good. I think also i was subconsciously with not wanting to be marginalized. I say that. I feel like the black body is a political statement in itself. Right. On canvas, all of a sudden i am making a political statement because i am painting brown skin. But i paint the way that i paint. You know . She chose me. She, knew what to expect. There are some people who look at the portrait of the first lady. I dont see her in it. I dont see the Michelle Obama that i know. Yeah. Everybody is invested in them. In all kinds of ways. On all different levels. And so, for me to even want to paint her makes me crazy. Because, and im setting myself up for criticism. Right . I feel like i captured her when i look at it i see her. I see the michelle that was present at, at the sitting. You know, a contemplative, graceful woman. You know . Who understands her place in history. Today, amy cheryl has a place in history. Her paintings which she works on in this baltimore studio are now selling for up to 50,000 each. But while this is her moment, it is a moment she wasnt sure he would live to see. When did you first find out about your heart . When i was 30. I had been Walking Around with my heart function at 18 . Which is what most get transplanted at. I was asymptomatic. No symptoms at all. Her heart was failing. Plus there were relatives back home, who needed her help. So she put aside her brushes and returned to georgia. At one point, cheryl stopped painting for four years. In 2012, her brother died of cancer. Just days later, cheryl received a heart transplant from a young donor nearly a decade after her diagnosis. My brother dying changed me. Didnt realize how strong i was until i lost my brother. I realized i can get through stuff. And, to see him only made me want to live my life even, harder. For an artist, all too familiar with mortality, amy cheryl seems to have fund a sense of permanence. After all, her work now hangs in the National Port rilt grait ga. I think it matters the portraits are so different. Something happened in history that wasnt supposed to happen. There is a continuum. There is a stop. All of of a sudden you are like what was this . So 300 years from now. When the story has been watered down. You know what i mean it . Is like, those portraits will speak to that moment with the intensity that is necessary to bring forth the truth of of what happened. And why they were here.

Zzzquil helps you fall asleep in as little as 20 minutes. President s day is a time to honor the countrys top leaders. Many are familiar with revered name Like Washington and lincoln. But who was our worst president . Mo rocca may have the answer. Hail to the chief james buchanan. Out house for five. You can have a Cabinet Meeting in here. Warren harding. You want to shake hand. Lets shake hand with harding. Wow. No survey of forgotten president s. So fillmores lips were on the teacup . Yes. Would be complete without our 17th president , Andrew Johnson. People come in thinking Andrew Jackson . Lots of times. Absolutely. Andrew johnsons presidency would end in disgrace. But in 1864, when republican president Abraham Lincoln was running for reelection during the civil war and needed a runningmate to balance the ticket. Tennessees Andrew Johnson was his pick. He was something plit skael that really wasnt supposed to exist. A union supporting southern democrat like sasquatch. Heard you exist never seen one. Love the banner, lincoln sasquatch, 64. Ranger at the Andrew Johnson Historic Site in greenville, tennessee. Lots of things with his name on it. You will find the Andrew Johnson bank. Andrew johnson highway. Andrew johnson inn. He is always for this town going to be the local boy does good story. Is this town still proud of him . Absolutely. Reporter johnson was a taylor before he ran for office. They would need to keep heateding irons. His shop, the original still stands, became a place for everyday people to talk politics. His people, the yeoman, good solid people of eastern tennessee. Public schools, public libraries, state fairs. Anything to give the working man a leg up. Johnsons back story says historian how war means was every bit as raw as the rail splitters. If lincoln and johnson were competing in the humble olympic who would come away with the gold . Think johnson would. His father died when he was 3 years old. Penniless family. Basically no education. Wife taught him to write in his early 20s. Reporter whit made his political assent more stunning. From town elderman to Vice President he didnt lose a single election. On the day, lincoln delivered his second inaugural address, johnson had, a little too much whiskey. The he rambled really drunk e drunkenly, 7, 8 minutes. Criticizing the ambassadors. Reporter still there were high hopes for johnson after the shock of lincolns assassination five weeks later on good friday. The when you look at sermons that were preached that easter sunday. Many of the churches talked about the nation being delivered at the right moment to the man who could do the job. Reporter stage was set to bea savior. Exactly. But the task ahead of johnson may have been the most daunting any president has ever faced. Impossible to conceive america 1865 when johnson took office. Trying to heal the wounds of a four year war. 600,000 dead. 4 million freed slaves in the south. Country of 30 million people. Johnson wanted postwar south treated leniently. As for the fate of freed slaves. He wanted that left up to the states. But many of his socalled radical republican opponents wanted to punish secessionists and guarantee civil and voting rghts to freed men. The clash led to crisis. With the president all but declaring war on congress. In his washington birthday speech in 1866, he declaim theyd may slander me, but let me say i do not intend to be bullied by my enemies. Did he take things personal leel . Yes, he was thinskinned team. Took everything personally. He remembered taunts and jeers from decade gone by. Never forgot the sound of somebody criticizing him. The more you would try to get him to open of and listen to a different side of thinking the further back he would go almost to be petulant if you will. Like a, like a child. Like, you know he would ball not want to hear anything you have to say. Reporter despite the personal pleas of an ligsist leader frederick douglas, johnson vetoes major bills that would have helped former slaves. Congress overrode him. Finally, the bad blood spilled over. The president was impeached. And escaped removal from office by just one vote. On the wall here is the ticket. Few went to the impeachment trial. Bought a ticket every day. At queen county history museum, Betty Fletcher the keeper of all things Andrew Johnson. Including tickets to his 1868 impeachment trial. I think it is that able to the complete set. Pretty great. Unless you are the guy being impeached. Uhhuh. Reporter he is not a success as president. How do you explain that to people .
