Welcome back in good morning Tom Finneran and Todd primary -- with you on Friday the thirteenth talks god I'm not a fan I've never seen its -- really well I've. I'm obviously not a fan of I've never seen it I know then of course it is consciously I love -- about Friday the thirteenth please those type of movies and to stuff. Have you ever seen a slasher movie like I would -- somebody who -- do such vivid commentary because I've been to your selfless efforts there have been to enough movies works in the coming attractions I see absolutely nothing entertaining. In that challenging. Fun he and it's nothing that would QB enjoyment so I'm not going to give them and so you know you're on appeal to buy. No cheap sex and cheap violence no absolutely not and chief moviemaking now. Now -- per perhaps lack exposure Apollo the thirteenth. Apollo the thirteenth politics what do.
Look I just put the with a octagon house Africa that's been trying to yeah. Well I'll -- cost us a slash idiot drives slashing of the Saturn rocket. Hollywood it's all preachy and pass is already cast a blank that's on the music would you -- in a rocket ship them -- important. I'm I'm off somewhere on the ship those kind of there's a -- I'd like that -- but doubtful it was a -- it was -- NASA funding. Apollo thirteen. -- it was a big can of Obama.
his -- little bits of Barack Obama yesterday could not have been good David has been a series of days that have been less than ideal. And he seems to me his highest skill sets seems to be going to an audience of people who just want to be starry eyed look about him. About Barack Obama but in terms of actually. Choosing people selecting people with good credentials. Making issue that they've been thoroughly vetted candidate can stay in informing the American people with the with the with prided with some substance of distinction. And I hit it it's been one struggle after another and even the stimulus bill has been struggled in his series of I don't want to safe. Fatal steps I don't want to overstate it but a series of mistakes and stumbles. That have been less than impressive in -- about a month and book -- let's let's do the count if we can. Bill Richardson had to withdraw for him and by the way second guy in the same position yes this -- the second a guy -- supply lines in the arsenal. Daschle obviously HHS. Tax issues with the Daschle ethical investigation of Richardson and and associates down in New Mexico. The Judd Gregg nomination just went to put. By Greg's own conscious decision to -- look of thought and over and I don't think I can work for it is outsourcing though all the Democrats fell 'cause there's coming. And the Republicans fell because he's honest well. -- a bail out this -- the woman who resigned because she was going to have a nanny tax issue is unbelievable. He makes the I think there was a big big political mistake to do a delegate to speaker Nancy Pelosi the drafting of -- stimulus bill yup that was a blunder yup so it it it it's one thing after another and then. Within the next couple of days. As in victory. But I think pick it taught -- hard about it a little bit yesterday and the day before. The revelations that came out from his town meetings the the expectations. Of you know a slice of America -- of America that some -- on the Barack that government. How government beyond government is Santa clause that I need to -- you know I need about from a kitchen house and -- You know Julio needs a job in addition to Julio needing a serious education which she's never had. How Julio needs a job in in broad precise about the kid down in Florida -- so now eat he broke himself might be light on his feet at those town meetings but. The revelation to the rest of America that this is what a chunk of America's depending none of this is why Barack is they go to guy is not confident it's not reassuring in any way shape or form. I'm starting to wonder and I guess this is crushed and I think for the audience. For the Barack Obama supporters it's a month in what can a judge of each and every day although I -- by minute what he might just hit. Minute by minute and -- power and you know word by word I had I don't like to do that I really don't but. I think this guy is that this is a less than impressive stat I was impressed.
But the transition you reduce energy transition. Everybody was at a restaurant seemed to be decisive move quickly to them picked too many crazy crazy people from the right or from the left. It ain't it seemed to be reasonably so what is experience make more right noises about -- citizenship experiences is it having the ability. Two based on having lived enough life and understanding human behavior and I understand the systems that you're dealing with to be able to predict the potential pitfalls and remove them in advance -- them and avoid the then I'll Barack Obama who has never land of a boy scout troop yeah I mean this guy stroke has never. Not only what he's had a chance to he hasn't seized the opportunity because he wanted to get to the presidency wanted to keep over any at a planned never do anything so he can't be blamed for what you did.
And if Hillary had that sense of what is. What is possible. And what is probable in terms of the missteps in the -- it was because of music he -- she and bill had their own problems but once you. Navigated that minefield -- much more alert to the minds.
Sure exactly that's the show if you -- the issue for example a singer reaching out to Republicans and in in the inexperienced size of Barack Obama that's just a thing you do it at strategic. Change all these nasty people in Washington now reach out to each other I'll reach out through without knowing what the pitfalls are right he reaches out to Judd -- apparently. No one had a conversation with George -- went through the list of things and what and so what are you gonna do when this happens like I send you have to do. With -- vice president. Because vice president's come on the ticket they have to start talking the same time is that the same team -- was so they have they must have detailed conversations you refresh issue of today's have a sit down which are great judge said. In his press conference yesterday said I feel badly about I'm paraphrasing -- basically so I I feel badly about the fact that I didn't do a better job. Of internal analysis to we have been able to predict form myself that I would have gotten to this point one weekend -- a quote attributed to Judd Gregg in DC where he said he talked to.
Who the president president Obama. About the difference is. Stimulus legislation and what form or shape and should take as well as census. And it apparently was more of good general situation as opposed to a specific situation. He just said you resolve conflicts is really the yeah raised those of the two words used even resolve global conflict so that's not achieved shades of shades of difference and approached this seems to be a philosophical. Clash this is why -- came more more apparent it's.
And like when you hear about movie stars again married to have a big wedding and they spent twenty million dollars on the wedding and then three weeks later they get divorced for divorce yeah -- did you talk about anything Hollywood comes to the White House was this all just you know or in Vegas so let's go over the well Elvis chapel and I'm.
Half an anti either side about goats do the right thing six point 726 X 6868. Is the number Todd -- Tom -- ticket -- calls on AM 680 WRKO what you take on the Judd Gregg Barack Obama divorce announced yesterday after. Less than a two week -- and let's hear it what's your take on Barack having us seem always managed -- first -- any second thoughts from people voted for a gimme a particularly young are I'd I'd really like to here from the Barack's supporters the -- you know fans and c'mon let's -- let's get into an analyst -- let's have an honest assessment of what has happened a spot. Jim is Colin from my third 1 good morning Jim.
guys that I have no second thoughts at all. But you know what's really studied to -- me. It stayed up many Republicans and conservatives. Especially -- gap -- that have a habit of calling his station. They want Iraq to -- Only because Iraq does not big into what they give vision of America. With the liberation of political ideology but Iraq doesn't make it so that Iraq fail but I think his. They love what they think is best for America ever in -- cotton hit. But they don't love America and I'm really aggravated okay. You know because this guy has reached out the other side you know -- help our guys like you you want this grip.
Don't have a section -- how is how is it reaching out -- Yeah how is your reaching out Jim has a serious question I'm not trying to have a fight when you listen to me first -- If you want to be bipartisan but. And you put together a bill that includes things. Like billions of dollars for groups like acorn or special projects to save a mouse in San Francisco that's going to put millions of dollars of pork into Nancy policies district how is it reaching across the -- if you create a bill that is untenable.
It was not a simple deal done made all the time that's the way things.
Well you're talking about patriotism it seems to me when we're at a crisis that could rise some level of catastrophe that's what the president said this week and you know response to that mr. -- port blatant piece of crap. Filled -- twice as much spanning his needs to be there that's irresponsible business as usual deaths are reaching across CIO and changing the way Washington does business.
Could reach across the dial by including republic of Japanese ministry. I quite reaching out to men like Judd Gregg.
Jim I understand. But you can't say that you're offering this great noble experiment of a new way of doing business. If -- if if -- spot at the height of a crisis. When everybody's supposed to -- of their personal bias season they're supposed to come together for the best of the country and -- around appear with the the accusation of Republicans being unpatriotic. This is not a patriotic measure its business. As usual so the American people while the politicians get what they want.
Not business as usual there -- people that want -- dismay at the fail before he was even elected and you know what country is in a crisis. It's not like the good old days when when Clinton was Sinatra's. You know you -- Republicans trying that. Expect I'd thrown out of office for at least seven out of those eight years. -- when a crisis yet and you know what a lot of people get so you got such well -- you don't care if he fails to get you don't like -- gonna make out anyway.
But Jimmy Kennedy you've -- let the crisis. Ally you suggest. That. A I don't have a tough tough tough. Any worries me just -- you you can't let the crisis become an excuse for denying the fact that there -- highly debatable items -- For example is a tax cuts going to be -- stimulant of then the study and research of sexually transmitted diseases. All the the community organizing. Money that Todd made reference to those -- legitimate debates and because the countries in a crisis. You don't go we have two oh -- I gotta be quiet I guess it down to be quiet because the countries in crisis as a matter of fact. Do I not remember that it was really very vocal members of my own party Democrats. Who said yes just but just because we're at war in Afghanistan in just because we're up at war in Iraq. We would not expect it to stifle. Our objections that dissent is patriotic not only one that -- yes cried then you're absolutely right let's take it is that very patriotic so a fight descend. -- Judd Gregg -- disk has more accurately dissents from what he's seeing and hearing from the president -- nothing wrong with that it says something about Barack's. Judgment here right yes and and and a judge Greg Judd Gregg did seem to step forward to detect the lion share of -- the responsibility for us he put the failure.
Sell because he's no what does that stand -- guy and instantly made sure recovered Barack's but because. -- he -- he was respectful when he wants him to succeed him he handled the thing as beautifully as you can imagine somebody handling -- this is the first time I've ever actually hundred use speak so positively of an elected official Republican -- Democrat you are really more hands on most of you know what about you know I did radio New Hampshire was never that -- which are great too -- he's he's always been to a -- he's -- been like the big. Institutions show who hasn't come down to the people's level very often. But -- I mean I can't speak highly enough of how he handled himself yes that's excellent let's total got a call from New Hampshire Paula scholar from New Hampshire good morning Paul.
Good morning -- union representative it was just gone you know and pop pop pop pop pop. -- a good guy -- is a good guy I don't know whether as a union rep but not he may be quite like there's another.
it obviously that are still faced dire LL on the big daddy and also. But they are I know I feel all of the Albuquerque doesn't he -- an effort that vehicle while he doesn't have any answered that the United States is more of a socialist.
Ladies I don't exhibit. But it's a -- to be clear about what you're saying because I think we want the country to do well but we -- don't -- we run economy to recount a Leon highlighting a couple wore us -- fighting a war on the economy will watch those orchestral and economic rejuvenation let's be successful -- was I think every Republican every Democrat would say amen to that those at the -- Now the -- we follow how we get that.
But he's just social and I don't want to see him I don't want to we have got one foot in there you know I mean -- They indicated the united states -- like you would -- have he can put up. You know what four billion dollars for a a Carter whatever enemy into ridiculous like that that they're not partners stimulus package. Yet -- he has nothing to offer he can't he's still like you've been playing a -- law.
Yeah -- he could be an empty suit releases and a good direction in certain ways if you were handling the stimulus right it would be an exciting thing we have to try to pressure to handle it right. And that hasn't happened thus far he's allowed the -- to be in their he loud dance simplest -- used to form them the measure. Army tried to reach across the child up. To judge gray EU is an experience -- to -- kind of reach across I guess. He each -- screwed up a lot of his tires here and when push came to shove it was going to change your question is does business but he let Guidant are getting into -- secretary despite its tax.
Robert Guyton -- Daschle Richardson now -- great thing it's if it's just an impressive it's not a smooth start at the same time I want to jump in here Todd and point out to you. That he. You know he's -- Rahm Emanuel as chief of staff. And they were successful in this Riga -- they were successful in approach change. I'll inspected. Susan Collins Olympia -- who to Maine senators and obviously the guy from my Pennsylvania. And stepping back from some spending habits and other -- less than 800 billion I think it's 789 assembly that. Thirtieth 35% of it may be 40% of it focused on. Tax cuts. A big part of the spending focused on extension and and increase in unemployment benefits those things that Republicans and Democrats can and obviously did agree on. So this has been I think. And authentic and successful effort in some pot. On the bipartisanship and.
And I in the three hole members of congress out of two bodies to swing his way and allow. Well very very impressive well yeah I beat you current -- by the way I'd dance with somebody. Who has no intention of video -- there's this sort of its favorite thing they don't want to Washington what's that states spend money on stuff you don't need with money you don't have this is it that they should have everybody voting in favor that he thinks. Well this is their glory moment.
Well it could be -- glory moment but the Republicans in the house and particulate. Might see might have calculated that there is greater political opportunity. Greater likelihood of political success for them to be in unified. Opposition they don't have responsibility. They just I have the responsibility of being in the opposition say anything you want do anything you want because the buck doesn't stop on their desk they realize it stops on his desk the of making a bet that two years from now this is not going to amount to a hill beads will have taken on 800 billion in debt. Frank kids and grandkids but does not going to be anything stimulant of apparent to -- that's -- that's the political bet that they just land out Reese.
