Really.
A heartbreaking vicious attack in bed got the politically has hurt the president obviously it is it's more than politics.
I don't know it's useless and what it's like do you think the difference between not have -- all the facts in yet.
I think -- fair criticism is its.
-- -- -- -- -- What we don't really know yet what happened.
But you know usually Smart -- -- people don't like to admit they don't.
Should know yet and I think -- what was going on I don't think they were that you -- you can't lie about something like this it's all gonna come out I just think they didn't have the facts.
They should have said that they should said this is what it looks like just now but you should know early reports of these things are always wrong.
Why do you thank -- That is always the initial explanation.
-- not just politicians but almost anymore and when -- get in a jam of any kind of -- Whether it's so.
What are your boy reserved -- Or -- Richard Nixon or some Hollywood foreign.
Their initial inclination.
There's some not be truthful.
Part why -- -- a factor human nature.
What do you think it's human nature to begin at just to have the exculpatory no right you know did you did you -- mr.
don't know I don't know.
But also what you -- wouldn't what you remember this with quiet when they're really little Q3 and four.
They really mean it and when they say no I didn't do it because they hope that by saying it it will make itself.
You know -- Charlie did you break that window overall health.
Hoping you know what you're little you don't really understand these things and it at it you're right though that this particular politicians.
The thing that's most appealing.
Is what Hillary did yesterday when you step up and say look I'm responsible for this I hit 60000 people -- -- in harm's way I am responsible for the security.
And then.
People did you know they give you the benefit of the doubt they they rush to that sort of leadership.
It's always better really is just that take the bullet quick.
She's really become.
Not that unit known as Chicago a lot of collateral larger.
National mirrors.
That she really well -- -- -- and publisher really.
To come -- -- I don't pitchers and earlier magnificent figure on the world's say judging.
She's got such strengths.
And and that's that's -- to me that the the most important value I'm glad that she's brilliant.
But it's even more difficult to be strong and she is strong they're corps corporal you're given semiconductor for over twenty years we have -- meetings.
In the governor's mansion in Little Rock when Clinton was governor -- planning is presidential and -- well we sit next to Hillary and he would -- over is that Hillary just tell me what we agreed on today.
Stringent punishment among the one that not -- you know -- -- and lesbian marriages that don't.
I'm not.
I don't girl who endorsed him mr.
Imus that helped make him president and you -- -- that I'll always be grateful that's slowing so on the back and the people are enamored of him now just imagine.
And they lessons she's already said he's the big -- -- yeah for the president a lot he he is out there.
You know -- book editor and drawing great crowd and end -- present about it -- secretary explain instead.
So are all -- -- question sort of and you sort of alluded -- -- us and our conversation.
But yeah.
You think the president ultimately -- winner Drew Peterson and you thought it could door in the way of what do you really think.
I think it's more likely than not like 655%.
Likelihood that the -- reelected.
And it's a couple of things Romney had his run and it looks like last night and before that Joseph Biden's debate.
They've they've been able just to just stop that momentum I think.
And the -- I mean it's just that Electoral College map this time -- -- works for the president's benefit all it does hold the states that John Kerry won.
Where -- content might be a bit of the challenge for the rest of maybe New Hampshire director pretty solid blue.
That always got to do it went Ohio what any other swing state at about seven -- right.
-- that you -- governor Romney has to win almost all the swing states.
-- he's just digging himself out of a much deeper hole.
Part of -- -- -- don't fault because he's not been able to grow beyond the Republican base because he didn't run.
As a different kind of Republican he's really did run -- the -- usual you know.
Tax breaks for the rich.
Kind of you know Republican -- It's not I don't think Arnold and went on.
You know I think on not suggest in conjunction to narcissistic megalomaniac -- and yard care about -- -- right arm.
I think -- I think.
I think the economy -- innocent well let me finish for -- -- lowering.
I think the economy gets instantly better -- is elected.
I also think of Obama gets elected.
They're probably will as well because of people are gonna say well -- -- -- rich does not -- in you know abundant.
There -- -- got four more -- -- metabolism.
-- I -- I don't know if we're gonna lose your lawyer required a lot of over Romney but I mean whenever.
Well I'm a little for Obama I think.
I really -- -- -- don't think you can get this thing in common again with the same stuff that bush tried.
That you think pres Obama very much wants to do things -- the Clinton tried which worked out pretty well force -- last time.
