-- outlook it has to the -- EO says.
Like -- BS saying the president's and we out to lunch and serving a pretty -- -- at all -- list them back.
Let's not.
Under invest short term.
Investments.
Investments -- to spend more CK restaurant's CEO and advisors says he's had his -- this really -- I mean you medical would have really and I were talking about.
Been there done that -- heard this that had enough of that.
-- Knowing he really -- you and I've been talking about this for a couple years he's just plain over his head.
He really doesn't understand what it's going to take to fix the economy or -- just simply unwilling to do what it takes to fix the economy I think today was a restatement of -- -- You know from your lips to god you're on your opening statement here was we do we need change we -- only -- -- understands what to do.
You know it you're an accomplice COU turn a lot of operations around you you get super hard models to be your commercials on people at all but -- I thought that every great leader has a moment when you see is tested when there.
When he gets -- front of people and says something dramatic and says all right I'm gonna turn.
Under the changes Bill Clinton or John Kennedy with the tax -- speech.
Or Ronald Reagan with the overtures to Russia or Richard Nixon with the overtures to China.
I I don't want to be too grandiose and sweeping but I thought today was that sliver of opportunity for him.
To change the direction in these final months before November.
And.
We're.
Well you know you're absolutely right this would have been a great up the following Wisconsin -- -- -- that I hear you I understand.
About I think the problem is he just in in his heart he he just doesn't understand -- is a bad guy he's probably -- good guy but.
He doesn't get this he doesn't understand this say that the private sector.
Is doing fine when you've got -- forty straight months of 8% plus unemployment has helped eight point 2% 23 million people out there looking for work.
Our growth in the first quarter was one point 9% we've got record foreclosures.
Now we've got a thirty year low of one new business start -- to save that the private sector is doing.
There was doing fine with those circumstances.
And -- to say what we really need to do is to help.
State and local governments in other words we really need to spend more we really need bigger government we need more state government -- more local government that's the solution.
So in other -- always does not quite as ridiculous is nothing new now.
Oddly enough I mean he he had been pointing to his opponent Mitt Romney is being as the leaders clue as to -- air.
Type of -- and now of course he opens up the same criticism.
But all this coming on the same day we get this poll shows among Republicans and conservatives today -- their druthers they would put.
Marco Rubio on the ticket.
With Mitt Romney.
This is just out what do you make of of that and -- and would that be a game changer -- -- Other -- Marco Rubio is it is a very articulate young leader in the Republican Party.
I think the world -- -- you know your your talk your talk about what an articulate speaker President Obama is.
I think Marco Rubio was right up there -- any articulates the right ideas for the country.
I think in picking a vice president that there is a hundred year history I think there was one example of where picking a vice president actually helped.
The ticket that was Lyndon Johnson and even that's not clear.
You need someone that's not going to be a risk and I think Marco Rubio would fill that role I think senator Portman from Ohio would fill -- we've got -- -- congressman Ryan there there -- a lot of people.
Get on that list but I think Marco Rubio would be.
An excellent vice presidential choice I don't think I don't think even.
Governor Romney on nose at the moment who is going to ultimately picked but I think he couldn't he couldn't go wrong with Marco Rubio job but I -- -- -- -- -- on the top of the ticket -- decides things.
Armed indicated very unique unique and you need not to distracted can't be somebody distracts from the primary candidates -- -- -- you know we've got we've got some very good people out there we've got a great candidate and I think he'll -- a very good job picking -- president the vice president and I hope -- right I hope that we now have a change we'll -- already thank you very much.
