Rob entertain -- co panelists of the five is here and manager we got a lot of things are talking about the first topic President Obama gave the speech and energy yesterday.
He -- angry sad and upset he went on the attack what do you think about that.
Well it politics you would have to look like you're doing something even if you haven't been doing anything on this issue for the past couple years which is where the president once he was feigning outrage at the oil companies.
Big surprise and he went after them and said we're gonna take away there subsidies -- been profiting long enough.
Mean you look at the money the oil companies want to pay in taxes you look at the profits that they make relative to that.
Really and then you after that accompanies you essentially go -- to the shareholders and the shareholders -- the mom in the pops that have their retirement funds or any triple A rated -- or.
Like calpers calpers as a number -- shareholder of Exxon -- but Doug that this strategy is it gonna work at this year's it.
Blame all companies and blame someone else I mean it if it's always oil companies tax the rich.
And have the Republicans as I think you did -- -- to be MIA.
Well it's very tough for Republicans to argue that oil companies should get tax breaks it's a politically it's a PR loser it's a political winner for Obama to do that but here would sell laughable I -- -- laughed -- during part of -- speech.
-- -- Really Al Venus -- not hear them entities in any way tried putting algae which President Obama says is the future of energy in your gas tank or -- we're -- And -- -- and -- -- -- that he drives.
And see what happen.
And yeah it's a town and country into your point Republicans generally aren't dumb.
If they're gonna try that Tony four billion dollars that this tax break that president keeps talking about at the rate gasoline is going that's not even one and I.
You would both concede the Republicans are frequently don't wouldn't -- Oh come on the outlook the president if he's so into alternate and it -- -- sources dud.
Why -- he passed the natural gas act arts in the house -- in the senate.
It has support on both sides of the -- he get half I'll answer your question if you answer mine yes he should pass it what's the answer to -- -- the Republicans frequently done.
Not as -- as the Democrats.
About one animal and especially on the energy and we'll play them on that -- -- to the next topic then okay Obama.
He actually says no members in the bad listen to what he had to say to locking them is facing yesterday in Florida.
-- able to get the payroll tax cut -- that's -- much point five million Latinos with an extra forty dollars and -- -- -- paycheck and and there's gonna help strengthen the economy.
Our program -- not over -- -- another five years coming up.
We're gonna get through -- OK I want a snowball close sound -- but the possible on.
About -- -- -- threatening to a lot of promise that I got another five years.
-- -- he sounds like you think the Republicans of them -- -- every.
Accuse the president having self esteem issues right.
But why didn't he do anything in his first year mean when he gave -- energy speech yesterday so I'm not gonna make election -- promises guess what President Obama you did on immigration he said he would do something -- have concrete comprehensive immigration reform passed.
Any did in fact -- Arizona -- act on its own.
What did he do the federal government -- -- -- and.
And every kind every coming here Mitt Romney speaking says the unlucky enough of I'm privileged enough to -- get a chance to be president but it's.
Old President Obama keeps assuming that he's gonna be the president.
From a political strategist wanna do is what is what's what is right is one to be just -- cocky and or the other one is sort of be more humble example I can get it.
Yeah every -- campaign I've worked on -- -- the candidate to be the underdog it's much better then coming out and managing expectations in a way that.
Makes you look stupid if you lose any.
Doug.
31 years of -- you always wanna manage expectations and set the bar and -- -- that's realistic and makes you.
You know lower the bar that makes you look better when you exceed expectations that the White House could not have the president problem doing now.
Let's say that is that this ship broke -- -- -- run out of time is some good stuff to talk about Michelle Obama -- yesterday in Cincinnati quote.
If apparently in this country is struggling we cannot be satisfied with our own families good fortune we will be a country where success is limited to the -- at the top.
This is they cut this country is strongest when we're all better off -- we're all better -- -- -- -- the idea sounds like Occupy Wall Street I mean if that's crazy.
I'm so glad the First Lady came back from -- and -- -- -- yeah.
She -- staying at this beautiful lot to me not that I'm -- I'm here with you guys but.
But she's the most popular member of the administration.
This is the administration's talking point until November I'm not surprised they push around half her reading off the -- -- -- everyone else sort.
-- The best part of being a Democrat is believing that an inclusive policy.

They're not -- in addition we are it doesn't give lip service but what's -- telling people is that listen.
