The people who really can't afford it right now let's face -- this economy is not going great guns.
I'm going great guns and there's no there's no plan to make it better I think that's that you don't -- sort of the blame game that.
Everything that goes wrong -- -- Republicans fault in everything that basically is benefits anybody's.
This is basically credit for -- the sad part is.
There are two very different data points of view that Romney has and he has and that's what out of discussion going to be it needs to be -- higher plane and needs to be something.

Saying that she's getting a sweetheart deal on taxes on investment property she -- in the Chicago area.
Is this -- issue that will blow up and is it hypocritical.
In the White House to have officials with this kind of background with these problems and no exposure -- -- really nobody's paying a bit of -- -- And again unfortunately it's -- it'll be a one day story here you know look no covered up.
You know it's.
Look at David -- they basically takes an enormous.
-- before he goes.
You know from people are doing business with our enemies -- before it goes back in the White House.
Valerie -- all kinds of sweetheart deals before she won in the White House at the end of the day if you wanna take a government job you wanna be exposed.
That the the power of them the resources that -- -- you have to be above reproach.
The Republican Convention coming up all eyes on that I can't wait for Chris Christie's speech -- really keyed in on that.

I know Joseph Biden's going down the -- -- -- which -- never happened before.
I don't think that's I don't think -- -- offset anything but it's really your opportunity to say here's the kind of campaign I want Iran.
And I look forward I look forward to some more meat on the bones.
And I think that people like Christine rubio and others and -- every part of the program.
