It is and I'm OK -- you're a Democrat clustered and actually I am an independent but I generally support to democratic positions because those -- the closest to -- I feel on the issues aren't sure.
-- all all -- oil and an election governor approval for a -- our.
All I I don't see any other other option really I I think that with that with it it's my judgment that between.
2012.
And 2016.
The next president will have -- three Supreme Court appointments and at least one of them this time will be to replace a conservative on the bench.
And if that's the case I want Barack Obama making those apartments.
Not to mention the fact that I do think he offers the best future for America and let's hope -- can get past the limitations he had the last four years that disappointed a lot of people.
Though -- on the just on the basis of Supreme Court apartments hardly since amendment.
By -- one reasonable person in mature economies -- -- guys -- sought.
You have to without Green notes put them.
But -- an armed I try to be pretty fair value war but I don't have an agenda yeah.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- You're your take hornet and you are fair Amanda let's cross reference while that that the recent singing them Al Green -- Rendell Osama about a lot -- yeah.
And -- not done Romney singing America the beautiful it's like turning to raise into American Idol sort of -- presidency but by the years is that they Don this president came in office.
-- with an extraordinary burden that we really -- I have never seen it's been unprecedented.
And I supported at a worse I supported -- -- and I do not think that he made it worse I think the stimulus package worked they sold at the wrong way and he was such a great communicate their that it disappointed me that he's done that -- and the other thing I'm disappointed about is in terms of him not to -- Actually the race issue in a way that we would've expected.
But in music heated election this year.
If President Obama can get the electorate to make this an election of choice which I'm saying I'm doing I choose Obama and -- America.
If the Republicans are successful.
In making this election a referendum on the past four years they have a chance but only met -- Romney has that chance and his chance.
Is receding every week as the president gets stronger and the Republicans keep going after each other in a way that's actually destroying some of the momentum they -- So when you're trying to defeated incumbent president of the United States I don't -- who he is what color is.
You need to coalesce around.
Around one candidate early.
To raise all the money you can and stop making the ads that the Democrats are gonna used against -- in the fall.
That's how you can defeat and incumbent president even then it's difficult now.
But employed got to -- as the terms -- Ballmer -- -- Now -- -- Communists -- -- -- -- -- economy and so I agree that the economy will be an issue but Don again you have to acknowledge this.
If President Obama have been running for reelection.
In the first year of his presidency he would have been -- very easily but -- At this stage there are positive but not signs in the economy not -- that clear everyone is still suffering a great deal -- more than before.
But the -- -- -- about the future.
It it has enough glimmer of hope that the president can capitalize on that and possibly even with the economy.
-- be able to succeed in getting people to feel that he represents the best choice for the future in order are -- -- -- order where your debt as a promotion promoted.
-- doctor regular people who started nobody expects that.
I agree -- you but the overall economic indicators are enough I didn't show enough of a positive trend.
That it is not be universal.
Without.
Of -- our reservation.
Kind of condemnation of the economic policy that you had in the first and second year.
Of the president's.
-- term and I said all along that the timing was gonna work out well for him I -- was -- -- I said at the beginning of his charm that in three years things would be so good that people would be walking around final.
Homes again -- no money down no welcome and while that.
What we not there yet.
But it is beginning to show enough and by the fall of this year.
I think it'll be enough that other issues could at least play into the voters' minds when there in the voting -- they're -- -- albino home by the -- -- While no not at all that was what I thought we use our own and come in terms of how -- but of the overall point is the timing worked in his favor the economy.
It was bound to improve at some point.
We've now made it much longer than anyone expected.
But to the extent that it is showing some signs of vitality.
The president is improving us that something that we have to think about also I mean of you you have.
Well to do Americans -- -- aren't already monoline -- I'm I'm just trying to make sure we all know we're at three for information while but they've -- actually this is that this is part of the NT -- I have but clearly you know last time we are on down.
-- to record your how to wanna answer.
I was five and a half minutes I heard that I didn't know a brighter as of today program but I will say this that was the Martin Luther King tribute.
And I in fact we'll use that it to say that I'm -- you.
For having allowed us to pay that kind of attributed Doctor King now and five minutes was worthwhile that's the only reason it went I want and I I I did know that -- -- that.
I'd forgotten want to subs are close I remember the subject was drug -- just announced -- -- well that that that when we look at the future here.
About -- Republicans wealthy Americans had to be actually distraught.
To see Republican candidates for president and eight primaries.
-- this stage debating accused.
Each other I'm making too much money of not paying enough by taxes I mean these are not issues that Republicans should be complaining about and that's why Newt Gingrich hasn't problem one Republican inside -- said -- Newt Gingrich was at the top of the ticket as the nominate Republicans could lose 45 states.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- The privilege shot at a do you do that Charlie McCarthy Edgar Bergen -- -- in order alone -- have shops and on his -- on the -- If that that was a tough tough on us supply power of one -- on her now.
Republicans by the way you have some positive things going for the first of all I've said all along that bonding is the only chance to bed so they need to focus on that.
But listen to this done in 2000 and they Barack Obama won seven states by less than 5% of the vote.
Now with the talk about Newt Gingrich.
And fact Indiana I've put -- -- a week after the election 2008.
But -- did possibility of Newt Gingrich running the ticket -- being at the top I had all seven states now back in play for the president to win again.
With Mitt Romney -- that ticket that I -- They have a chance if they got to all of those seven.
And those two or Hotmail and -- The president could still win but it can be a very difficult time for -- -- -- are -- sports for animal exports span when our exports sort of like inseparable off well I I think the giants possibly have the strongest team and all of the categories.
I would like to see when we -- having this conversation earlier.
Imus I'm a big supporter of excellence I'd love to see Tom Brady have you know four Super Bowl wins five appearances I like that and I think -- -- still has opportunities down the road I like Tiger Woods for the excellence I like Eagles now because I -- see Michael bit.
Have a successful time and I'm gonna -- -- -- -- Miami do you have a dollar.
A dog canal I'm not anymore and when I was a kid is Italian or have a dog when I travel to a -- -- -- don't know why what's that gonna Michael -- children don't tell you have a -- well I don't.
I -- believe that a lot of -- time I really believe in redemption.
All what do you think is gonna win as the blood or you want program I want -- to -- and I don't think that I I think.
Frankly I think the -- of the Vegas odds which I believe is.
About two and a half point to right now that -- that can go either way but I think giving him I think that the patriots win aren't.
Only because I predicted that -- I went how skinny will be played better than people are expecting.
And and I think that you could get a big surprise from west walker or from -- notes are saying well and the possibility or so -- gonna get a -- -- -- -- he can get one ball -- -- -- -- -- because they're trying to cover our Hernandez and walker and and we're not the end want to speak.
And then you can he out of --
