Time for one -- solid silicone and but I'm Dirk when it was content assets pledge to be with -- about a Honeywell's especially this week -- lie under -- should regard.

What do chief solar start of the you know election.

Your candidate -- one.

Because he was the better candidate because he did things that helped America that you know -- PeopleSoft.

That the country was on the wrong track when he came into office.

And that he helped turnaround is it where it should be no it made it better people acknowledged that they'd like that any and the they were also voting against the crazy extreme.

Extreme things we see coming from the Republican Party -- -- -- I'm IDC gloating of the crazy extreme stuff that's campaign -- he should leave that use of the little more magnanimous at this point -- their margin I'm sorry like illegitimate -- stuff and the south deep already has -- reelection above have had nothing to both evil or wrong.

I think that hurt the Republican Party in this election when you don't -- about time OK well listen I'll tell you what I think bosses director of vote largely the electorate they're they're a little dumb.

There -- little selfish.

The -- irresponsible.

And a little love -- about a little just frivolous I would say I think that's why he got to let because they don't realized.

The trouble that wherein.

It -- in the short term and in the long term and if they do realize they don't care they want to wait to get these problems fixed.

The video it's easy just it's just like if you live in -- house in -- in debt.

You know go to Disney.

You don't go out to eat on the -- you don't buy a new car but that's what these people saying you know -- screw the future let's let's just take others are part of ourselves today and and that they would irresponsible I think that's what does the neutrality -- your grill out.

-- election -- like election night didn't seem to him.

Well supplier what are -- one could infer from what he sent you -- and he acknowledged.

But he didn't do a great job in the first foreigners and attack that he -- learned of audited learned some valuable lessons.

And it was going to try to be a better president have been and that fair to suggest that's what Lisa.

Not and -- I think he did agree I think you know I think he's very clear about his legacy when he's achieved his first and I think -- -- -- clear about the prospects for the second sound so you can achieve a lot more when the economy is moving in the right direction selling and I also think it's important I also think and finally he wanted to you don't wanna stand up on the -- and -- -- -- -- here's the -- -- -- real issue here -- is are Republicans going to you know finally get with the program I mean there's just -- the -- You know and his economic policies the tax cuts the Health Care Reform that was a Republican plan to begin with but there was a conciliatory centrist from the -- gallon Republicans they -- -- We're not -- And that -- -- aren't that leads me to my point yes and he did let down the base turbine so he is he is say now he's he's but he has he has a choice.

He can -- now to.

The the moderates and do the right thing that Mitt Romney was trying to it would do will -- that he would do to the people.

Or he can appeal to the bill Blair's MSNBC.

Sally -- own base and out what to compare -- of those people up.

Dispense altogether had little -- -- I ugly I don't -- I find it all and LT salivating at the prospect of what he sees the treasuries got nothing to check him except in the Republican House that's it.

And so he's gonna he's gonna appeal to them.

You know that's that's very volatile wild third possibility which is -- can -- both right and in exit polls over half of Americans said they support raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans according to the previous -- is you know up to 70% of Americans but including.

A plurality of Republicans.

And his liberal base does as well so it's distinctly possible that the president can move forward.

Yes solve our fiscal concerns and do so and a balanced way that asks those who have to give a little bit more.

I have to disagree like it but note to photo Omar respect I respect greatly but -- brought him in and I don't think he has an agenda bottom line.

Off about Michael ago -- -- Lombard told it is and as a political columnist sports writer and novelist.

And his column I felt pretty good.

And he voted for Obama I suspect.

And feasible -- -- -- and he said that he's not.

And he was critical of the president during his initial ten year outlook or properly solid -- I'm not in a matter of you know Sean Hannity but I mean -- legitimately critical.

But that he thought the president had to auction opportunity.

For what they -- exports of dual.

And that he hoped to spend that he hoped president -- -- -- have to I think you have to balance of president.

And those remarks you talked about election on what to let some conciliatory and did sound as though you wanted to do a better job army.

-- -- I was drunk or settlement -- I mean I think it was appropriate I think -- lucky struck a tone of look we're going to work together ever going to reach across the we're going to but you know there's this sort of fascinating that solid team that Republicans perpetuated in the election.

That you know he had been the anti bipartisanship one while Republicans had been sort of falling over themselves corporate -- -- well written and -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Whether whether you are announced what I like about a lot of people have different views -- -- -- -- market.

Gay marriage it was at the end of his term just -- political expediency that he he -- bonds have two of the gay community.

I'm gay marriage the Hispanics and he never did anything about banning a semi automatic weapon that's -- nothing so he could either appear started doing to them or -- can appeal to the moderates wanna take care of the long term problem it remains to be seen and let's hope it's the latter.

And out before parliament -- -- this and.

I wanted to also no answer from 100 a product and -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- In America.
