And to top the week off.
This spending -- McGraw the White House planning to take point seven million unspent budgets in states and -- them descended on roads and bridges and -- Panels -- about it says instead of spending more -- The president is should be taken the time to fix this -- the border already adding insult to injury -- he would email us.
Well start any like deciding packed a lot -- that are starting led Joseph Biden's comments.
You know the the president came out yes said that Joseph Biden's phrasing of what -- -- in Danville Virginia was a distraction away from the real issues here.
But although lots of people of -- offended governor wilder sat on your show that this is an an appropriate comment for -- and to make.
I'm stand -- Jackson went on Hannity last night who has Jesse Jackson's daughter and said that Joseph Biden should apologize.
Archer Davis who was a former representative from Alabama.
Who actually was a surrogate for President Obama in 2000 -- also came out and said this is partially the reason why.
He has switched his voter registration from Democrat to Republican.
And so -- look at got a new study came out today showing 800.
1000 people have dropped their Democrat status since 2000 may you've got a big problem for President Obama going into November.
Well you know edited and in -- good -- it -- political gonna swings in fortunes -- way alarmingly so.
And very quickly.
But I think what made this less.
Particular week interesting to me in the Wyatt I went and framed it -- -- but hopefully not too boring as I did this week and this day and that this show is that.
I didn't ask -- I think loves I think this week was unusual in that.
It all combined.
So hurt the president's base I think when you hurt your base -- you.
Prompted to say wait a minute like you were mentioning about that you know the Doug Wilder isn't some of these others.
Dad should should be an alarm and and I'm wondering if that's not so we easy to recover from as a.
It's really not they think that the White House responds to Joseph Biden's comments and the response to outrage by governor wilder isn't and people like art archer Davis.
By doing this condescending tone of what you just didn't understand -- he was talking about that's something that the Obama administration -- Obama campaign has used throughout.
But -- that the last year when people come up with something that they're offended about rightly so.
The White House segment back into the they just they understand the context they just to understand the point of the conversation when.
-- -- people know exactly what Joseph Biden was getting -- they understand what.
-- super pacs but what's was affiliated with the former White House a deputy Press Secretary was talking about when they imply that Mitt Romney killed.
A man's wife I mean the American people can read through.
The the condescending tone have a bit YSI but it -- -- I'm sorry -- but there is another cynical view on this and it was raised by no -- in my buddy Charlie Gasparino on Fox Business.
And that is this idea that there might have been a purpose of this that it might have been ironically to try to rally the base and Friday it.
To to get the loyal supporters the president -- -- them.
But if you're right I suspect you warrior given the the number of just African Americans and spoken out against that.
An African American fund raisers and spoken out against it I think it backfired.
I think it at that -- backtrack -- agree US Charlie Gasparino -- on that this could have been a -- thing you know the Obama campaign.
Is been focus on things like Mitt Romney's tax returns and -- do everything but.
Focus on the economy and quite frankly that facts surrounding Medicare I mean you played the clips of President Obama saying that he would veto any thing.
That reversed the cuts that.
That are taken from Medicare to pay for obamacare.
They're talking out of both sides of their mouth to mouth your Stephanie Cutter deputy campaign manager said that -- cutting back from the Medicare but that she -- Yet -- -- David Axelrod out there on the campaign trail accusing.
Up Paul Ryan being the one who's actually gutting Medicare even though Paul Ryan's own mother is eighty living in Florida and on Medicare.
And so they've really got to get their message.
You know honed in here and kind of reevaluate where they are Hillary Clinton -- doesn't want to be the VP.
But it doesn't -- -- -- sorry that's a story that's out there we don't know but we do know that oldest son Middle East -- stores on Medicare and out it would affect seniors.
In Florida latest polls that team Romney's leading but that could be fleeting but it is interesting in a week that was certainly worth noting as we did -- always a pleasure thank you thank.
