Governor Romney -- that campaign messages on the economy to that battleground state Ohio yesterday.
Joining the company now -- radio host Brian Thomas from Cincinnati Ron welcome back because some.
I wanna know what you'll call was -- saying about these two dueling speeches I know you that you probably lead a little to the right.
But -- that in mind it can you tell us that half how you'll call as we're looking at the Obama's speech in the Romney's speech.
What is sort of the make a record -- correct I am a libertarian myself would my audience tends to leaning libertarians -- conservative.
And actually.
It I think the the caller summed it up more in repeating some of what the the the left this typical -- Obama supporter political pundits -- were saying which was.
Wait a second I thought this was supposed to be a major address this is a swing state this is important isn't gonna come out with a real home run and steady got.
Almost now horrible boring rehash asking to double down on the same policies did before which evidently have not worked so.
That is truly telling it wasn't a real wow -- speech so.
Disappointment.
In over Obama obviously in the left and as for his Romney's concerned yeah I think he was more enthusiastic.
More energetic.
He's not on teleprompter he seems natural endings and and it's starting to get some headway and an -- -- -- are you sure all of the political bias of your audience doesn't come into play here I mean if you -- to conservative you're not wanted to find.
I'd be particularly enthusiastic about President Obama -- I think is out there on the left.
You know -- he's as as left as they can get of course but you know even an open minded person.
And I tend to consider myself an open minded person.
We'll look at what has happened over the course of the past three and a half years and point out the obvious we get five trillion dollars additional extra debt.
We're nowhere near anywhere it where employment should be and an eight point two -- and holding.
Unemployment figures are up gasoline prices I don't know where they are in your world but they're still skyrocketing higher -- 375 for for for regularly I I -- what I'm.
-- -- about gas prices look I was expecting I thought that may be.
The president would offer some compromise.
Because he's in a tricky position with the economy.
-- -- off with the Republicans some kind of compromise for example of -- we won't tax the rich but I do wanna spend a whole lot more money.
The reaching out to the other side to compromise to get the economy going.
I would have thought that a compromise.
Element to his speech would have -- wonders but he didn't go it -- -- No I don't think he can't.
He -- is losing.
Chunks of his base here and there and I guess the last thing he's got left.
Is that the folks clamoring for more socialism and what any boil it down to education energy innovation.
Infrastructure and basically raising taxes on the rich that sounds awfully familiar.
If you are not involved in government you are not going to be considered in this administration that is just all he's got which again.
Perhaps that he didn't go Clinton.
Is why the disappointment was reflected on the left -- perhaps there are open you might feel to salvage his presidency did he'll call us -- any opinion on the people -- on on the fact that the president left Ohio.
Flew to New York City and holds fund raises -- Very liberal real in the tests in that fraction and that and -- movies.
Debate Pasadena you don't.
You know that came up.
-- then -- the one comment which which made made it around on tweets and of course we talk about the program today was.
Talking about the pain that everybody out here's feeling -- he's talking to a group of people who can afford 40000 dollars a pop -- reelect this guy.
It does not sit well with anybody and I would submit -- probably doesn't sit well.
With the folks that he is trying to appeal to those middle class folks are -- on the margins or who have already lost a job and are looking for one.
How can that go down well.
A very good question and that's it very good question -- tell us from separate topic isn't it from Cincinnati.
Good stuff great voice by the way I would say that you -- -- surpassed that but I am as jealous as they come.
Thank you Brian hello -- -- -- -- soon thank you -- the pair of.
