In the case of boat with George Bush 90% of the time. Saying that became like the talk about judgment. But really what I did not what you think George Bush have been right more than 90% of the time.

Welcome back and one of the great alliances that Barack Obama had in a well delivered speech in my opinion but we're gonna get to be Barry's opinion and that's what's really counts. He's been out there on the ground that there was a big very very good line. Out of a out of -- really of how well that speech in spectacular and very very unique setting area. So whack at this time as with the doing all week while we're gonna go to the lieutenant governor who's live out in Denver. Good morning Tim Murray -- my co host today is raffia say and now former assistant DA in Suffolk county and a good good guys and we're interested in how ya -- after a weeks long festivities.

Nor -- back in at a few hours but it certainly. Last night. That big challenge I think questions so Obama was meeting level of expectation it was if it is. Previous speeches and and I agreed that they. And I think he met or exceeded those which is difficult to ask -- Outlining. His core belief system and background. We came from a develop a line of vision that we take this country in terms of change. The foreign policy -- with the domestic. Issues most importantly to adjusting economy -- it was all.

You run the -- on the -- you know somewhere in that stadium. Tim you know what was. What was it like it was that would propose the Massachusetts delegation pretty much intact for last night -- who will use scattered all over the place.

Masters delegation was intact. Witness. With these. Oh that it would with the governor and -- members delegation really lies. Certainly conventions for you to party. Pageantry it's opportunity to really crafted message -- If that's what every -- But I think. What made this different. One of the big -- great questions coming into this week was the it was a good decision that is outside the statistics which are. -- to. It was I think. -- credible experience. Maybe risky decisions may he -- meant to people at work and to a lot more. Awful work and opening in the energy. The other thing. What's our next guest speakers that it was. A lot of political organizing -- text messaging. Things went on was about how to get it to people each of them. -- In open places -- In organizing tool we.

What you -- says yeah you know I hear your assessment of that night is absolutely in alignment wrapping himself said the -- at 62 who whenever we went on the yeah. -- Hit the ball out of the pot he said and I I agree with -- and I think they well there were some voices pointing out the risks this could this could blow up this could be used against them. I don't think any of that is is going to be borne out he rose to the moment he roasted occasion you -- the setting.

None of the there was anything wrong with that setting I think you know. I don't think -- to apologize for anything announced that it was a setting that was electric. He delivered incredible speech and I'm of the view should apologize I mean you know when it was a football stadium in Germany had an agreement was a football stadium in Denver I was finally yeah.

Ago at the label. So Timmy you come back with obviously. That you know the rest of the Massachusetts delegation. Today. And then and next week the as the Republicans will do the kind of did the at this side of this as you say pageant. Pageantry. And like anything and anything that you worried about as you see the Republicans. Start to point out some of the dangers in this crazy topsy turvy world Russia for example Iran for example. Continued turbulence. Around the world and attempted assassination on US diplomat in Pakistan two days ago. How does a guy like Barack Obama for example who can give a great speech. But who. You know -- you know maybe hasn't hasn't had the body of XP or certainly doesn't have the same body experiences John McCain reassure. That middle American voter who's not automatically a Democrat are automatically Republican.

I think it becomes that the judgment and in the record and so these things and certainly Iraq is one of one of the we haven't finished the job in Afghanistan. Some of -- laden is still. Away and I think and organizing. Attacks against this country that. It was the primary mission. There was some of them laden and Al Qaeda that attacked this country and we get distracted. War a war -- and Barack Obama they once that we need to finish the job last. -- 8080. In countries where -- operate the going after working with those countries to -- and and in. Diplomacy and and military -- military action against. So that we we as a classmate United States can't occupy countries -- it is and so. I think it's going to be catching debate and in and they want to draw a contrast. And saying listen. It's about judgment rather not just experience.

Hey -- on the domestic front I think you and I would agree very very quickly Tim is what I call a common sense Democrat to -- it's a set of alarm that was the -- right what's the -- focuses on the economic development issues Tibetan you know creation of jobs as the best thing you can absolutely four focus on so. I think to you and I agree very quickly energy independence for this country is absolutely a domestic. Essentials and I guess it you know it also has foreign foreign implication as well. That being said. How to how does this country commit to a 150. BP and doll alternative technology program. Without adding to an already staggering. Deficit.

Well it's it's not going to be easy but -- president. Giving XP change in ten years. Old and that is why is very powerful that is. Talk but it -- his grandfather. Saying when Americans with the -- two we can't do. And I think that it was Altman. To get a chance was. And use and and it's kind of one of those moments with American people challenged it's going to take. Talked about how he wants to do. Cut taxes goes on to -- 50000 -- Ira and that's piece of that closing people go through the budget. It's not going to be easy. But clearly we -- A Manhattan -- project. Initiative on this country on the -- what we've done in Massachusetts. To arbitration with. Legislature of this tax incentives whole host of programs to urge clean energy. And that dependence.

But it definitely doesn't the president perhaps I I think a lot of things which. Be used.

And something that I like that he said last night it is as I was watching with my wife we were around. We both thought the same thing at the same time he's talking about all these different things that he's going to do. And you know we both said the Chamber's work responsibility at the same time what about our responsibilities. You know he was giving Kennedy esque. Performance there and and I think that is the cornerstone of Kennedy's. Speech was that you know we we we have responsibility -- it to to do things to give to our country not just take. And he addressed that you know as we were both thinking it. The next were in the next road out of his mouth was responsibility I thought that was an important part of his speech.
