That's -- point.

I found that there I'm gonna get the -- a second Scott you're gonna get into this is this is about Bill Clinton okay.

Yeah we're gonna play a major role of this is Democrat national convention he is stepping up to the plate at a critical time for President Obama.

But is it a good strategy when President Clinton has in the past because -- set things like this.

A government that is leaner not meaner and a government that expands opportunity not bureaucracy.

A government that understands that jobs must come from growth -- a vibrant and bottles system of free enterprise.

-- you know -- could be -- accused of overdoing this.

Although obviously pointing -- the president and has a different view a private enterprise and taxation from the current president Barack Obama.

But let's bring in Greg value -- the Potomac research group DC.

Do you think.

That using a centrist.

-- -- president.

To nominate a current leftist president is a good political move for the leftist president.

Not necessarily Stuart good morning -- I think there's a real risk here.

That that the contrasts are so blatant here you've got somebody who.

People do you know universally.

Like thought would get a great job on the economy someone who like business someone who got it someone who read great instincts.

It as opposed to a president whose very cerebral but a little aloof doesn't understand business mean the contrasts as you point out are quite striking.

I agree with you hot idea if this could back -- -- accrued you -- value I've got Scott Rasmussen -- pulse the supreme.

And he said earlier that this could be a pull offs I were Obama I believe it will be a plus for the president.

And the reason I do that is because Bill Clinton is gifted when he has time to work through his message -- will find a way to to get his message and President Obama is insane now.

That won't prevent the president from going off message during -- debate or something else that could change it.

But I believe associated -- Bill Clinton is a plus for Barack Obama at this time.

You -- -- come back on night Greg.

No I I would -- this point guys I do think obviously Bill Clinton wants to keep the Clinton brand alive for 2016.

Have there been polls as Scott knows there was an Iowa poll last week that showed overwhelmingly Democrats in that state would -- Hillary for the nomination 2016.

Not sure it.

If she wants or not but if she wants it it's hers.

And let me express another opinion I think this is a measure of some degree of desperation.

On the part of President Obama to bring in a man who is.

And Bill Clinton not exactly political enemy but certainly a rival I see desperation via a -- Well.

I I think -- Scott knows there's only about eight or ten states that are really in competition and -- so razor thin.

If Bill Clinton can move the needle even a point or two in those states that could make the difference.

Bill Clinton would not be invited to have this kind of -- role -- the Obama campaign did not think they were -- from community health act of desperation.

Laura are gonna bring you into this.

I say this could backfire against President Obama and it is an act of desperation to bring in Bill Clinton and you say I just want to know about the negotiating because we knew that Obama reached out personally to.

President Clinton so did he say well I want to have.

The pulpit to myself.

Cut on my -- night I wanna be interrupted by the vice hits I wanna have my own right time -- if he's the same what I wanted to your point about crafting the message.

What is it going to sound -- and if he's gonna do something he's going to average and suggest well.

You know that tax thing isn't exactly where I am standing but for the good of the nation in the big picture here is that Democrats -- in the -- and -- One other point guys there always -- the -- that he could talk for like 95 minutes and there's always the risk that he could really freelance on I don't think he's gonna give.

His speech to anybody for pre clearance I'll tell you what the hell I'll tell you all the speeches debate Hillary.

Can 2006.

Lousy -- on my Paul but I think you get the point right correct yup.

Yup exactly -- work yeah you could come back on this program more often -- value -- -- -- at -- -- that you -- agreeing with -- is just fantastic.

It's really astonishing is that he's got to get my fifth time though it what do think should do not like it and I'm -- -- everybody he's good -- extra -- -- -- front of my.
