Meanwhile some food for thought from the -- McDonald's US AT picked up Romney campaign doesn't respond to what he sees as ridiculous to reflections inside issues what -- gonna Bob.

Not really but had -- with me right now -- the youth think that there have been somebody -- in -- in this race it's gotten away.

From the core issues in this race issues that you think.

Help Mitt Romney but haven't gotten out there -- explain.

Well you know these -- still -- at -- debt figures don't lie but liars figure and depending on who it is is analyzing the numbers you end up of all kinds of weird ideas.

The fact that matters that comes down to one solitary strategy.

And that is -- Obama continue to push us to a -- state where professional politicians.

Play a bigger bigger -- of our everyday life.

Or -- -- citizens in this country take back their free enterprise system and have governments serve the people instead of the other way around.

At a very basic tactical level the economy is no good.

I don't care what those national numbers are because we're have a drought this year -- next -- to different problem of moves around.

But on a macro level the numbers of the numbers but at the micro level.

Gasoline in Illinois is two dollars a gallon higher than it was three years ago that takes 2000 dollars out of every household budget.

When -- wages are not going up stagnant or maybe marginally 1%.

In one town here in Illinois Geneva -- their disposable income is down 6000.

Dollars.

In the last three years how -- -- family support death.

Yes and -- -- deals.

And I'm not -- blowing you smoke UK and passion lead present numbers in a way that everyone can understand.

And I do not mean to be dismissive of Mitt Romney -- like in person I think he's an incredibly Smart -- anyone who has a Harvard and gets an MBA in a law degree simultaneously.

-- beyond me so.

But I will say this.

He's not making that argument or he's not presenting that are or or to your point maybe the media is not even allowing -- to do so I think there's some truth and but what does -- have to do in the debate.

-- just keep it simple.

You know Ronald -- did brought it down to the individual.

It's my microphone I paid for it it's our country it's -- town it's our home it's our villages our police department.

The regulations.

Need to be oppressive laws.

When you create a system of laws that should be solving problems but don't but create more problems.

People are gonna go around -- they're gonna start taking shortcuts I think bartering United States is as high -- -- -- -- Plumbers are getting their haircut for free because they're -- people's drains out.

Romney better get off his high horse and come down the main street and see what's going on people who are terrified right now I don't -- -- -- -- allies in us.

President leading a lot he's both and I'm not here to say they're fixed -- skewed that I'd I'd look at the confluence of the polls I look at the trend in the data.

And whether you argue that -- you know but not nearly as those big to lead it there's it would appear from the the president not.

The trend is not Mitt Romney's friend what how how we is that -- What has happened take -- look -- Obama says I'm a person out -- people.

He comes out this says they're gonna put you -- changed -- -- -- take away your -- the Republicans are -- the republicans' lack they hate women.

It's nonsense but if you tell a big enough clientele of simply Intel long -- people are going to believe it.

And -- is just distorting the reality and end.

Indeed in Mitt Romney better wake up that a fact that he better start bringing is down to the level where coal miner and Ohio get said.

I'll factory worker enclave Ling gets at and -- farmer and I where gets -- because of he does and he will lose this election at -- always good talking in my friend thank you very very much.
