Tree in need of jobs and economy in turmoil President Obama is out on his -- bus campaigning and Mitt Romney.
Has been pointing out what mr.
Obama will fine on his magical.
Misery bus or take a listen.
They got worse you know and he's promised all these jobs to you know people when it hit and.
Not just jobs but it's a lot of things in -- -- there.
Going the right direction.
I'm disappointed with -- where things are going.
Well and there are road from dupers do -- Welcome welcome welcome welcome welcome.
-- midwest tour has all the trappings of a campaign Carnival even.
But the White House says the trip is purely business one politician is reaching out to the people with a lot less fanfare and seeing firsthand how folks are suffering in the economy.
Representative Steve -- from New Mexico has held over a dozen town hall meetings so far this summer.
To hear and see the frustration up close to me now on the phone from New Mexico is represented -- -- sir what are the folks telling me out there.
Okay so am I want jobs I mean it's -- -- -- plant simple.
People are just amazed and -- that the administration is talking about lifting a little ritual character as they say delivers more -- -- it to people and jobs.
People are frustrated they're angry they're scared they don't know what that downgrade means them them tell me that there's been -- -- and all of the town hall meetings.
Yes -- so the concern about the downgrade.
And you referenced the steady sand dune and sand dune was and is that was -- yeah trust and -- later tonight and this is the -- that could threaten oil production in west Texas is ever certain.
Eastern Mexico west Texas -- on the same oil field and the fish wildlife service -- the going to lift this blizzard at endangered.
But we've got that team that we've complained of scientists we've got three Ph.D.s -- just to three people geology.
They're planning at the sciences play moved contradictory.
Draws conclusions from reports that were never made Bravo reports.
And the -- around the president talking about job creation panel of some sort just get the government out of the way we'll create jobs.
Our represent -- you give us -- sense of people in the Mexico -- thousands of miles away from that the midwest bus tour.
What are they feel -- -- when they feel by Obama making this this little luck campaign tour right now is a set does a tone deaf voted administration.
But just believe that that that the White House -- not listing they are concerned that two that if they lose their job that won't find another one.
The concern that the children got education that they're getting graduate degrees.
With no place to go.
And instead of creating jobs this administration seems to be shipping more jobs overseas start curtailing electrical power generation but drumming up -- -- -- by restricting current.
Nothing is making sense that the White House is doing according to the people who were listening to.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Tell us a sense of the Tea Party I'm I'm feeling I'm hearing.
At least I'm hearing from some the media out there saying that.
That the tea party's losing some of its -- I'm a firm believer in the Tea Party.
I'm a little nervous am I wrong my my hearing these things -- improperly what's going on.
I think it's Tea Party is alive and well keep in mind that the Tea Party is just saying that the government spending too much making promises that camp and other element to keep.
And stop the spending and -- jobs it's very simple that passionate burning and alive and well throughout the country.
All right and in coming up in 2012 Tea Party will be there.
-- and asked to maybe look at the flipping the the the senate as well right.
I believe that to keep party will be alive and well I think that this frustration of the American people are going to boil over one more election cycle until we get it right until -- -- -- savings account to retirement account.
That they're gonna be safe but until then dump people want to be raising a ruckus about what's going on Washington.
All right so represented Steve -- thank you very much sir.
