From our studios in newark city, this is charlie rose. Chuck todd is here. His new book is called the stranger barack obama in the white house. I am pleased to have chuck todd on the program. Welcome. Why the stranger . Why that title to describe barack obama in the white house . I would like to think it encapsulates the challenge she he had with washington. That is what this book is about. It is about attempts to change and fails to change washington. His battles with the pentagon, the media, Congressional Democrats, congressional republicans. In many ways, i think what got him elected is that he was a stranger to it all. Some of the struggles that he had managing washington is because he is a stranger to it all. That was the point.

Second the vast majority of my work emails went to Government Employees at their government addresses. They were captured and preserved immediately on the system at the state department. Thirsds, after i left office, the state depa
There are some who say we need an executive branch of the presidency that has no restrictions at all. We dont really want to have a vote and all of this. Sort of like commanderinchief, you do that. But when it comes to diplomacy that is still unfinished, and still a work in progress, they want maximum constraints and lack of maneuverability. I think that is the fair, sort of analytical, statement. What i think is unfortunate, and have seen this over the past years, is the perceived costs of making National Security issues. I do think that the real costs in the world, how we argued around the world because of these letters, because of almost shutting down parts of the department of Homeland Security to protect us from terrorists, the perceived costs have gone down. And i hope we can rebuild that center of internationalism. Host we are going to dig our viewers in about 15 minutes to capitol hill.
