Unscripted. the president caught us all off guard. so what led up to this. what happened a nearly a week after the verdict in the trial of george zimmerman that spurred president obama to speak at length about race in america at that particular moment? and for that answer, we go to the white house and nbc s kristen welker. nice to see you. reporter: nice to see you, melissa. you know, i think this president is so deliberative, you know. so he, according to white house officials, has been carefully watching and monitoring the reaction to the george zimmerman verdict, ever since it came down last weekend. both within the african-american community, but also sort of throughout the country. and because there were such strong emotions on both sides, he felt the need to speak out, as the nation s first african-american president. this is a decision that he discussed with his family. and then i m told that on thursday, he called senior advisers into his office and he told them, this is what ....

But once he talked about his thoughts and what he wanted to say to the nation, there was sort of a unanimous agreement that he should, in fact, address the nation. so that is what happened on friday. you talked about the element of surprise, melissa. that was by design. the president wanted this to be unscripted. and the white house didn t want reporters sitting around, thinking about what he was going to say and start to speculate about what he was going to say. they wanted the focus to be on his remarks. and that s really what happened. and i can tell you, it was so striking. i ve covered this beat for more than two years. we usually do get a heads up. this is the first time that we didn t. so it really was stunning for that reason. but also, melissa, because he was so personal. he talked about the fact that he could have been trayvon martin 35 years ago, as you ve been discussing throughout your show. it was really, to some extent, a bookend to the speech that he gave back in 2008, ....

Budgets and they re firing teachers and getting rid of programs and stuff. if you look at the economic situation of black people in the country, they re completely at the bottom, at the same time we re talking about so much progress over the last half century and these are the issues that need to be engaged forcefully, in my view, milit t militantly, and these are the issues that we are not confronting. i want to bring into the conversation here, we have former u.s. senator byron dorgan who spent 30 years in congress and co-author of the new novel called gridlock which could be titled. what you made, extraordinary moment that the president speaking for 18 minutes sort of unscripted yesterday what did you make watching that? what did you make of it? i was proud of the president. sometimes, not always, there is a bright line between being thoughtful and being thoughtless. i thought the president was ....
