We're not -- wanna be were clearly going in the right direction so we are better off than we were four years ago.

Without a doubt all right well that might be a tough sell because a lot of no I think it's it's not sell as we need to do better.

But we're clearly better than zero new once again -- they -- you have to get.

I know what you're saying -- -- agree that it's never really thought things black and white.

But I think it's gonna be a tough sell to -- of our -- 52% of group that kids are getting worse not better six at a -- -- said the spending.

This crowded here it's very different from the American electorate pulled out there isn't.

It is season -- true believers but facts are they -- address the graveyard is now.

President Obama will win this election again it will be a close.

Tough contested election but he has done an awful lot to lift America out of the ditch and we were in a world of hurt when used with.

Yet to -- remember teleport all -- problems you would freely admit our viewers shortcomings.

Even though they really weren't all your shortcomings you -- -- of the resisted the power grid failure that it was a over which you have little control I could go on and on.

But in other words you were very accepting.

Mutual responsibility for problems behind which she was unfairly -- -- targeted.

Failure he never says he's done it wrong he says that if anything it's his execution.

-- BS told the story well enough for things like that.

That's not right.

You know I think what people care about it is -- there's open their lives whether they have a job.

-- their kids he get a job I understand and had to stop blaming.

Had to start taking responsibility I don't think people care about that they -- I was like getting -- again they care about someone -- blames others right.

President Obama's got a very -- -- ability factors so I think bottom line he's given high marks for trying.

And his work is sorry detail right -- they've got a resident I do.
