He got a president who stuck its -- out Romney was wrong we shouldn't let the auto industry collapse the president was.

Right -- that was -- great idea though mayor why is messages on certain dissidents are.

Dead even -- I mean you'd think that the state to benefit the most in the auto bailout would be.

Praising the president it's not apply our campaign in Michigan we're -- -- but the fact that steadied.

That's why can't we were -- it's not -- I mean if you.

We're championing this you think the president be up by ten points weaker back pulls back -- let's talk about the issues and the fact of the matter -- the auto workers that are on.

The college student who has billions more.

To going to college loans is better off than under the bush administration and -- -- And you'll save ten more years you at this universe -- used to go visit in the first of data comes -- the president should comfortably say you're better off.

I would say -- have.

Salute -- because of the number of things he auto workers better off to college students that are out.

The middle classes that are certainly -- -- Ryan plan before and the Romney plan in the future that would raise that don't want to.

-- -- -- -- area and and the debt is worth surprise excitement around us that but what if you thought I think about it you've got to argue declined easier for negative numbers are getting better.

They're not -- getting better right.

Well the fact the matter as a country is moving in the right direction we have a long long way to go and that's what's what happens but let's look at the facts here if you're on the Titanic.

And the captain shoved into a nice but -- And then some the captain that that ship that Roebuck and got -- -- to shore -- still wanna go back to the iceberg the -- -- George Bush and the Republican policies -- Brian -- crowd.

-- -- and an -- economy collapses.

The president put -- than those -- where half way to shore but we should not go back.

But he you know let's say you're factually right we quibble about this Robert.

Are Americans get tired of the blame game and they -- -- -- -- they say the president should own up some mistake some problems something little if any has.

All and is the only probably says has been.

The message that he suffered -- -- message.

Not -- that's not the case at all the president takes responsibility every night he puts his head on the pillow he's got a -- we're hoping he has admitted to.

Let me finish my statement.

When that president puts his head on the pillow at night he's got the global economy I know what international donors when he had absolutely many of these -- but some good morning let me finish.

What the president has done is when -- -- Who -- even deals with all of resistance is taken responsibility for the economy mortgages for everything else but.

Wedding day said that there he -- a -- -- don't have an answer it's an absurd conversation -- -- not -- let's go back to after the Illinois it's -- problem.

I'm not big cited -- -- that you know look at -- -- something you read a brand like any other guy I would I think but what's important to say is that.

There are there watch into the fifteen the president leaves Citi if there's 100% on his shoulders but I have -- I also.

We have -- a Washington that -- -- Mitch McConnell and other Republican leaders from day one did in the middle of a crisis they're not gonna help they're gonna try to bring down -- -- and I ask.

Q what he had irrational mayor there have I have yet to run the table right he had a democratic Gaza democratic senate so the -- -- that you're quite right big Cazalot.

But -- -- little under the table.

And a filibuster rule that made -- a lot tougher now let's let's look at facts here.

When 9/11 -- I was the mayor.

The president was not a -- and -- supporters who win those planes hit the trades now we united as one.

When the same thing happened -- the economy the Republicans had no they're gonna play politics are gonna sit on their hands and they've done virtually nothing.

Before you stopping every jobs program.

Nobody has profound responsibility the president will take money responsibility god knows you've given -- thought.

I think story all couldn't -- -- Limits that we are going to make I don't feel differently you know I had no agenda here -- all agree on this money -- just look at money well like criticized the bush bank bailouts like criticized the original -- total balance.

You don't think that to -- -- -- you and I disagree on the auto bailout Minnesota about auto worker who's working today.

Now you're looking at a mayor who balances budgets that's a good thing and I'm looking at the Ryan budget that will bankrupt this country.

This debt is not a critical right.

I don't know I think tonight's -- but I think that the mean politics and I don't think.

The truth teller because he gave a speech very good that is you know certainly not on the level agree to disagree David thank you very much like today -- --
