-- off today marks the first day of the final sprint to the White House has sixty days left until the election but before we all start running.
Did I parties -- the -- they needed from their conventions with me now is RNC chairman.
Right extremists you know what I would ask you who won the whole convention saying but.
You know it doesn't seem like a -- question -- you shots the president last night what did you think about that speech.
Well I mean I think if -- I think -- use -- -- hoping that everyone's going to find themselves in an alternative universe or some sort of fantasy land.
But the reality though -- that no matter what the president has said and you know -- a good speaker but.
It really -- talk about any plans for the future any explanation of the past any discussion of the stimulus plan that didn't work -- the fact that people don't like obamacare.
You never heard them actually espousing these things.
All of that is over.
And end this morning we got obviously the real report card on Barack Obama and that's the jobs update.
The jobs numbers yes you know this is gonna come down to the facts -- and I.
So job training -- -- auto accident the delivered on his promises definitely huge problem jobs and the economy.
What do you think each party has to do from here I mean what do you think what do you think -- Republicans have to do from here.
We -- I think that the nice thing about our situation is it's like going into a closing argument -- trial.
If the facts are on your side your life is a whole lot easier and so.
We just have the luxury of of having the actual data and the facts to show and prove the case.
That Barack Obama didn't fulfill the mission of his presidency mean when you've got for every one job bad and you've got four people almost four people.
Throwing her arms up in the air and saying.
This economy so bad that that I'm really looking west ebitda he also looking at that really closely then Mitt Romney would be further ahead in the polls so what do you think he has to do to pull ahead -- in the -- I don't know but that Melissa I think it's very tough beating an incumbent president -- -- reelection -- if you look at the history of our country very difficult so.
We know that our -- cut out for -- it's not going to be that easy and what the president is going to try to do is she's gonna try to tell.
The American people that everything's fine and that this is gonna take a long time and you need to reelect him into going and in this direction but the problem with that though.
Is that.
An -- when we need to do a better job talking about this the president ran in 2008.
In a tough economy knowing that it was a tough economy making the promises he made in a tough economy and in large part he won.
Because of the situation that we were in in the economy so he can't come back now for years later and say well.
Hey I didn't realize it -- not have time to give Mitt Romney -- to delist I -- number one on his to do list go out and talk about why.
I think he's got to talk about the fact that.
That the president made promises in the present didn't keep his promises I think he needs -- too.
Stick to the issues of what the president promised where Iraq and how we're going to have a plan moving forward.
The put -- this country back on the rails and that means small businesses.
That means getting our debt and our deficits under control so we have both the short term economic problem but we also have a long term economic problem.
And I think that he's got the credibility.
With the American people and what he's -- Show in the next sixty days is that.
He has.
The ability and the credibility.
To actually be the guy that can fix it okay and set goals and meet goals and get the job done well -- -- -- the races thanks so much for coming out we appreciate your time Henry aren't we are Melissa yeah.
