President Bob.
Her long lives is where this whole lump all of all up.
-- that -- -- a 150 campaign fundraisers since last April for events in just the past 24 Alice.
It appears the president's primary focus is raising money for re election.
Which liaisons asking the question what exactly is the president's policy on the economy Fox News political analyst -- this year.
-- across the set from me on the -- and he's been telling me it's an easy question to -- Can you tell me exactly want president Obama's economic policy -- It's certainly stimulate this economy now the stimulus plan obviously is politically toxic -- the president continues to believe.
That the government has to spend money in best in infrastructure and the like.
To get this economy roaring when he's not gonna get it is -- nobody is can't get stronger he has the pro he has proposals before the congress.
Being blocked by Republicans who say we don't wanna do Republicans -- -- issues in front of the -- had been involved while I'm just saying what you see is paralysis in Washington that's the bad news that I just wanna add here Bernanke is not under political pressure.
I think he's under pressure from a nation that wants to see our economy grow and that the -- and purely political terms I don't think conspirator Bernanke and I don't think it's near the White House.
And I think the Republicans need to wake up to the idea that you know what we all need to see this economy grow we shouldn't just be blocking ideas in order to achieve political ends.
Look at why is Larry Summers for Treasury Secretary.
Why is Bill Clinton former president.
Why are they saying I don't know that walked it back kind of behind our -- are they saying hey -- don't want to raise taxes on January the first don't do it on anybody.
I put it to you -- President Obama has lost the moderate wing of the Democrat party he's lost them and -- -- coming back.
Now I think that he you know there -- lots of people on Wall Street.
Big investors like why are Democrats.
Clearly they feel is that this president has been made them demonize them to an extent that they don't like.
And they feeling he's attacked big business -- that they don't like and they feel there's uncertainty.
Given what they wanted to change don't know nobody here's the thing.
Do they want.
-- -- class they aren't aren't they want certainly did they don't like the class warfare ideology her -- even -- -- Democrats they believe.
In America coming together and maybe they're not in favor just to win political office that you're gonna divide this country like never -- around America fired changing.
Back class warfare demonizing private enterprise doesn't look.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Yeah wait wait hold -- I think the president has to negotiate with -- very hard line Republicans and what he's saying is that as of right now.
That's on the table I don't want to raise taxes.
Watch no I -- I want a deal -- ones are right he wants a deal you blessed me and that's what Bill Clinton said by the way well three Bill Clinton talked about eight temporary extensions so that we wouldn't have anything happened on January 1.
He's not talking about long term Stewart yeah well how many how many Democrats in the house and the senate.
We disagree with Bill Clinton in the right.
I don't think anybody I'm sitting I your state we're also here -- thing listen.
On January 1.
Given the state of the economy we don't want to have any added risk any added uncertainty for some.
Employer who's considering adding jobs we want that man -- woman to add jobs in this -- about how the president thank what this -- -- what the president thing because he's involved in negotiations.
-- -- let me close -- this song -- you'll like this so good.
This is from the president direct quote.
We deeply believe in the free markets and we deeply believe in risk takers and innovative being rewarded and there's no place that -- -- like.
-- California.
That is the president's defense of private enterprise ringing tones while.
-- -- you start about high tech -- I think she still about these is devotion to private enterprise.
Why because of the bush and -- higher pricing just reading from the Stuart Varney prayer but now it's his devotion to opt out in public but I -- -- our.
Vote in the donors who are high tech I mean that Southern California would be the Hollywood elite and I'm sure you wanna -- will love you -- back.
-- -- no I'm not -- -- yes we all want good for America we don't want this economy to go forward.
But let me tell -- is nothing wrong -- the American people overwhelmingly agree with adding taxes -- the super rich once the economy back on its.
Really what you know let us know and that's going to be.
Well -- economy has gone back down into a slump if I'm glad this lights up but don't forget we -- -- we continue to produce jobs and especially in the private sector of the public -- the -- and -- front we need to bail out the states we need to bail out here you got that this is like you know what you know what you're talking your old Europe Stewart oh why you're.
That's true you know that austerity crew hearts cruel you know what.
I -- heavily used the word -- -- It's all because you see what China's doing this morning China is investing -- the -- in the economy United States should be investing it everybody know.
And yeah act didn't work when it's -- that didn't work we would be in a depression if if this had witnessed stimulus -- -- -- for a long night.
