Record amount of numbers from -- round silicone -- -- Fox News contributor to mourners come.
A more members should -- Michael OK LA synagogue the morning great beauty of our -- -- wonderful -- what your background.
I was a community organizer for fifteen years like the president you know is for a long time mom thought it was a dead end job and then all the sudden I'm qualified to be presidents -- critical.
We're -- your community in order all around the country.

Unit.
-- I've told to -- highly recommended by one Bernardin.
Yes and -- amount by meg gonna her bottlers and our roads are often warships are very sweet of them hall solid reliable fox.
You know I left community organizing a sort of trying to figure out the next thing.
And it was a complete fluke I was giving a speech somewhere and woman who is connected with the women's media center can -- means that we have to get on television.
Totally laughed and her face and blue are often she kept pursuing me and mentoring me and one thing led to another and and woman into new Green.
-- also Fox News contributor introduced me some -- Aaron about a year later here and what was suspicion -- How I don't even remember -- -- -- don't even there when you -- around on Monday door on end of speech and -- -- Limbaugh you know I like to talk about how people especially young people can get involved in politics and and in particular and what community organizing is about.
Is regular people.
Working together to be part of and to influence the political press sense and I am passionate about a democracy on to depressant got a lot of them don't little -- -- did you get.
It and they get a really good job the first -- I don't know -- -- gonna -- -- -- people seem a little -- -- -- with him.
They do with the political processes that are hard to see how it's gonna pan out but I think gang is not -- the same enthusiasm armed rebel Muslims appointed -- not been done.
But the war -- -- That's a great question and I'm not sure I know the answer I -- some of it is you know -- sort of came into office with this big lofty rhetoric of hope and change so forth and and look -- obviously a lot of people who are opposed to them but a lot of people we're encouraged they saw political system.
That it was broken.
It was only working for a small few and it wasn't working for the majority including young people including folks who were getting at a college -- find -- job all that.
And you know I think they still believe in him to an extent but the question is are they gonna say -- that the system is so broken.
So excluding of regular people so -- -- -- -- abusing -- of the interest of working folks.
And young people that we're -- we don't believe -- it but we still believe him.
Or are they gonna say actually we think he should of fought harder he shouldn't of tried so hard to please the Republicans senators center -- And actually put their frustration on the president our descent -- one name you know when it was running in 2000 it's.
And I don't.

Some hot water for another -- Matt pointed out of today after of the present was selected not not -- to sort of the first thing you do -- called Geithner and Summers and although all of a hundred all the same people.
Who got to -- a malice and hired them to try to get some -- and a.
Huge enough -- change now and I have to say there's sort of.
It's a year and a half period where if liberals listen progressive movement that I come from if they've been paying attention.
I think they -- held Obama's feet to the fire a lot sooner.
And we he might have gotten different results might have you know pushed for more aggressive solution.
That would actually put more stimulus back in the economy created more jobs had better results lowered unemployment.
Again regardless of what Republicans think you would on the right -- But.
Instead he hired the same old same -- and you know for some reason progressives and because either they wanted to believe in the hope and change spaying or.
They were just sort of I don't know bleary -- -- starry eyed by being finally invited to White House meetings they didn't hold the seat to the fire.
And they let him -- with I mean Larry Summers Geithner come on these are the same amount -- disciples.
Instituted the deregulation policies yes under Clinton that got us into the smacks so you know they were they wanted to give -- -- favors the Wall Street as possible.
That's why we're in this mess -- -- -- -- with Fannie and Freddie thank you very much.
It has to do with runaway reckless -- irresponsibility on Wall Street.
And they just continue to the fact that Geithner still there any column.
It spread to collapse in -- -- coma are nearly dead.
Ask another question.
