Let's -- Borrowed a bike over the -- write -- and my my decided at a basketball program or -- downtown so we wrote down now and over again.
-- -- -- -- I don't really know.
I don't know -- -- it's certainly connected to people that anger about.
Wall Street and anger about.
Some inequities that -- Syrian and so -- -- there's no less legitimate some verbal Tug of Pretoria.
As not being -- -- an armed and funded by George -- sort of little.
I think it is legitimate there's legitimate grievances and -- for our pick for the most part expression those.
Disagreements those grievances and a peaceful -- so I'm.
But it sort of wasn't so.
I think you worthless indicate -- again they were they reduce sent us.
Men.
Are predictably older one and -- curse them often wrong aren't actually on the often Marshall -- -- I thought they leave one -- -- you -- -- -- advocate.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- You can't.
Have a 3630 for a general -- -- So what do you think if -- Charles for them -- general now.
Arcades better than our ability to born Altman video of the country really get our problem -- It's -- both big.
Born in the United States -- -- I think -- futures -- depending upon.
In what we do then it's always been true Ameritrade general -- -- I was bottom.
Cautiously optimistic but there's you know disciplinary and you look at Washington from much more than a couple -- economic data and are gonna get is.
But I would say.
There's plenty of evidence historically it indicate that generally speaking in completely.
Suck it up and get the job done.
The division between of the partisan Washington.
You spent.
Alzheimer's and therefore far greater than -- analysts on.
I think that's right although Britain 625000.
People can opportunities -- on sixty -- Over significant conflict -- -- also.
You know.
-- John Hamilton just blessed here so it's not.
You know I think -- -- -- -- very far far back because of -- that the tendency by the way that things are always worsen.
They actually -- and other Italy doesn't -- -- still got to Begin to get it into work.
There's more about money -- don't mean I'm cynical a lot of our money on an assault above -- -- Follows about principles.
Put a lot of there's a lot about minded than money is really driving our political system but I bet Karl Rove and Haley Barbour aspirations been.
So we're close to 750 million dollars in this in this election cycle both -- -- the house when the senate when the White House.
And the Democrats are going to be do the same thing it's it's.
It you know money has become the most important issue in the campaign promise Syria says the president my -- in my -- -- -- But I do support as well.
Yeah that is like they'll support -- I'm part of what agreement is put him but I doubt -- -- beehive.
Analysts as a significant change in the likely nominee in Republican's side -- between.
And now in the general election and he's shown indications that he's willing to and welcome to -- it's still Lenovo.
They'll say in the united I think in general terms Obama's.
You know don't investigate out of -- with a really bad playing him.
The suggestion -- my diamond Ron their role.
Adopt any position -- elect him.
No I don't think he'll adopt any position to get elected but I I do -- -- -- belligerent percent of the moderator after governor now is conservative and that's not.
But I understand why he's doing a but he'd -- He just have to answer to that question I -- a little worse as chip Cummins and I think actually there is a bit of an answer -- that they're you've got.
We run for president you've got to think about you know what you -- -- doing here in the White House so.
I asked and tails Obama does not -- to one and I -- dive there but I respect us about the possibility as well.
I'm just kidding of course that is.
-- -- -- -- -- I think it's it's it's it's it's likely to be an issue that is -- there would be he's gonna have to answer.
It already has been answered Babbitt and attempting to answer and I don't think helicopter on -- senator monetary announcement we're what are you doing well.
I am.
Managing director of an education technology company -- global dollar home by MFW worldwide it.
-- does that do you know -- educational software to locate who drove community trying to help them manage schools.
Since is surely.
It is the future this is -- is the future you can really see it changing.
Barrier capacity to learn inside the home and away from the school and schools are under a lot of pressure to.
Reform and to be more accountable -- what the people themselves percent of one's -- way to get -- -- and that's.
The great -- it's also.
And technology is -- -- I think the future.
I'm obviously don't.
Please for your but I was really honest for the council that wouldn't.
A more -- for myself because it doesn't look good.
If we're -- gonna show intervals say while black wire climate put him on the -- mammoth job.
Exactly what actually did have a joked I'm journalism -- know there's a full time job so those sorts of grades from me.
-- -- -- that's why didn't elect importance and deadbeat and that's why did it I don't and in the united what you would -- -- Well sure do not all ethnic divide yesterday at all and also -- and her -- the office right now oil aria yeah.
It is pretty sharp -- multiple number of paperwork.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- If you have you have no idea of his best Illinois I do.
Not expect that that's.
So I don't think President Obama I mean I don't.
And I've been self sufficient is that I'm just don't I don't know a lot but I don't think -- -- -- immigrant dollar opened it is a nice guy.
Look I don't think you can -- -- is the -- find much to criticize on the national security front.
And he's gone after about al-Qaeda with a vengeance -- and continued actually the bush policies saying we're marketing it is sanctuary here.
You know if -- If you declared war -- the United States so I mean I think he does apply now he's an exceptionally good job there I think he's making mistakes on the economy.
That I've electrify as a second -- fallen about that.
But I -- that -- that the ultimately five final series not supporting.
-- on December -- or Canadian dollar -- much.
Well that's part of the problem that's always been a problem politics.
Mean that's probably gotten worse actually have to technology there's a lot easier -- you can't -- the detention of your out there on the Internet you know cause of the despicable currently so.
Also don't think he has an economy.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I don't think he has any sinister motives of -- Relative to underwrite right thing started bombing going there who have jobs too much more and touches -- -- but I don't think is a bad guy at all.
-- -- another aspect -- -- put it could -- both but I think he's.
This that he comes in and be played a very very difficult and a source the national -- -- economic crisis since just -- depression.
So it's you know and we're and we didn't go -- -- depression materially to get a good -- for that.
And you know he didn't didn't have it may -- too early should've done more jobs -- -- should have been more -- part of -- because -- says you can criticize that the margin.
But I don't think the central things that he was trying to get -- a -- -- that he did the right -- -- just for example -- to say Chrysler and General Motors.
And that -- you know review you can make a very strong case just -- the market take care of and so forth but.
I think that a bit of a real problem -- -- -- loss of two companies.
-- of Iraq progressing well you know all the troops apparently -- -- -- often.
Than a year.
Let exercise for the relying.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- You know I've also.
Vice reported so far have beaten Boris and -- -- so.
And I got to pick the president -- this case Iraqis -- going to give.
Our troops the protection of Europe -- The prosecutable under Iraqi law.
And I just way too much risk in an expression to get a move but it's gonna move forces -- the Persian gulf and I think is kind of provide -- deterrent against Iran and it's up to the Iraqi People now.
You know we show they got the same -- post office.
Way to make that argument -- now I don't.
Any sensible person -- onions.
Well its periodic -- observed that about Libya about Central Bank -- -- -- account or are gonna but I -- -- counterargument I think Saddam Hussein was.
Six people Iraq are better off without him.
The -- you know we made a huge number of mistakes.
And -- And he told a little mistakes were probably vote -- Speculate on a panel -- take -- little over the weekend and that he -- first on the occurred.
What the Bush Administration was saying to people like him to vote for the resolution -- listen to him.
And now all of -- -- I understand why he's -- understand why he was that's that was what happened out.
