That there's nothing to show where there hasn't felt right just in your readers. Your -- match day here's self indulgent you have no possibility of perhaps the most. Yourself already can be the most popular president -- and our archives and.

Only registered dogs are murdered -- guys. I think 2010 -- broadcasting from under umbrellas world headquarters building and I think Barack Obama. Fred. Meyer and told that Paul Boston's talks resume KM 688 W water carrier look I'm gonna want to.

I have -- go all out. -- conservative convention in Washington yesterday. Ripping apart the president. And Mitt Romney's folks start brown introduced that running a very nice introductions -- Very warm men supporters showing his loyalty got himself -- warm -- the other like.

One who -- I know shore as in Marco rubio the guy who's who are with the conservative turn outflanked. The mainstream Republican candidate for the Senate -- Florida -- happens to be the incumbent governor it's it's a very interest and who was -- star -- not long -- absolutely -- some -- there is a shifting going on in the dynamic of the Republican Party and very interesting to watch this play out because. The old school guys who Mitt Romney now and now appears to be I think. That are are good sort of be left behind her made irrelevant are less current now -- I might be missed perceiving this in my. Candidate will -- naturally. Be a little -- time in May be coming from. You know what appears to be passed a little bit because she's gonna have the experience in the and the infrastructure in place but -- just seems out of place to me doesn't feel like a presidential candidate Dennis as I feel out his qualifications they don't seem to call.

5 PM well the well you know I think one wild cut and our assessment of what thus far we -- a couple calls -- been in the Los -- the first I was the first part of the show Sharon I thank him. Fellow -- promised -- talked about that's how we press day with his his discipline his personality. In the in the retail. Politics a New Hampshire. The one thing you can say about Mitt Romney is this he's very very smart is a very smart guy. And I think anyone who smog who does things on a regular basis can get considerably better rhetoric would you and I see is something stiff. A little distant a little -- has antenna and he is so pathological however analysts say that I disagree I think there's the possibility. Maybe even closer to a probability that he overcomes. That Smith that'd be Daria are running for president referred years and all no no no no no no he was he he became very stiff in the heat of his 1996 campaign. Against. Ted Kennedy. He was awkward at first. Again Shannon O'Brien on one debate she claims clock he got up there with a couple of the other. Crazy candidates erupt there by Robert Johnson and some of the others. And he was able to kind of navigate and -- that indeed he did he gets better over time this he's he's run the group now he's run the track. On the presidential campaign he'll be better in Iowa he'll be better in New Hampshire I don't know that he'll connect. -- viscerally and a lack.

I don't -- they'll have -- I have yet neither forget about comparing Obama I just don't think he'll ever do it like it. A normal human being does is something a little abnormal about Mitt. There when you combine it with his Mormon ism. It it feeds that the fear that a lot of people have of him being a Mormon Olivia that is a little there's just something audio does color and doesn't out -- that is in the dead -- that it's not a negative but it's also not a target it's a negative when you combine it with the negative perceptions some people have a Mormon -- So there's a lot of people listen amid talk to their mentioning his underwear. And wondering. What that thing's all about you I know enough that I got this stuff just stand up real -- is there's a lot of the dvds but there's a big part of relive religious America that's very paranoid about -- but about mormonism tend can't quite get their hands around -- because of that in the way you break through that stuff. Is by showing your natural humanity Jack Kennedy who broke through the Catholic fear by overpowering it with his in his super power personnel --

He had great personality charismatic kid he was charismatic kid great humor and I keep in mind they weren't doing teleprompters at the time deal was. A different skill set. To public speaking yelled -- time by necessity he did not have the great assistance of the teleprompter that could keep you. Precisely on a all you have to be on message and much more now because it's such -- media -- assured world I don't Mitt doesn't have to buy a bomber in -- do what they know the dangers of strength. But the problem the American people want the authenticity we stray and I remarks we do this every day would go particularly me I realize we go off plenty engines. But that's how people talk. That's how real people talk in Obama -- Romney. Come from different sides of the political spectrum have that sense of its it's contrived it's if it's be it will nearly world -- Obama.

Late worse -- story Symbian contrived it's not so much about being on message is about being genuine. And with Mitt who's got a history of changing positions to fit the political moment. You don't get a feeling is ever. There's no real Mitt. If there is no real -- because of her real Mitt is tight in contrived. And that's a problem I think in our marketplace you do want that sense of reality and Scott Brown I think Al model of candidate is what people will be looking for somebody -- natural and real and drive current pick up truck. -- Mitt Romney guy. The only time he's probably ever been -- pick up truck was -- you know his father was running American motors and they were. Those one comin' up production. 61726666. Shooters reacting his -- they say it was a genuinely warm and very skillful generally warm and skillful communicate and that I think when you look -- career. A failed governorship which she abandoned the job because there was a fight required -- just walked off the robber rather than struggle. And we all know you can't do that as president of the United States and then his business career which is an astronomically successful. But it's it's in -- realm of business that people don't feel more comfortable -- that's true which is going out there and be in a culture that's. Yeah right in -- so it's -- and so -- profiles are very smooth vulture. Cool when push comes to shove in the tough with the times column leave it turns around he was MIA yup yup. Sorry that's not such a great resonant what do you think 6172666. Seats -- being unfair Peter your NW RKO.

Dad they're make a long story short on your last point you know that's what Cairo where if you -- this -- poster child help. Shirt you know -- you up for the mile and a nice hand shake them play and you're down charged. We you know. And that's the Republicans like what -- get somebody down you nmap but officials wanna put on the Republican Party. You know they -- they're gonna have a huge problem.

That's directly. Restaurant -- Peter in particular unemployment stays as high eight. As it is for the next couple years of -- hovers around 10%. Yeah -- the the master of the -- yeah that's -- that's not a that's not a compelling sales point that's got back gets out.

Absolutely I mean it will be just one advertisement I've heard others but Democrats can just throw -- football stadium followed. People that -- on -- liquidators.

While can you imagine that TV commercial. If you showed us Schafer stadium filled cushion with people who have been laid off by Mitt Romney I don't know can you imagine that commercial but. They 15000. People shot and that was just shot in the presidential helicopter. You don't live up and all of a sudden the images filled with Gillette Stadium 75000. People pick up criticized the -- Courtesy emit. Danny you're next NWR --

I love the way I remember it nutritionist German did your editorial auction in my right about that you're only. Okay the second thing is we're doing about that. You keep saying that they walked off the job.

Walked off the job in that he basically stopped trying most people say two years in. A mister speaker says there was earlier than them more like a year if it was probably a year and a half and then all of a sudden his eyes started to turn nationally and it is frustrating sometimes particular with a tough economy. It wasn't as easy as it looks like him less sounded from him coming on coming off the campaign trail he decided that his future was better on the national stage than in the job that he was -- took it was a disappointment I think to an awful lot of people. Including many Democrats who were looking for a guy with his skill set because one of the biggest challenges here in Massachusetts is attracting and retaining. Employers and jobs. It got tired out -- and did you have any and he never -- to he never hit the ball squarely in the steel said that he doesn't have. This has been talking a businessman about what Massachusetts has and what Massachusetts can we do New York Times.

One more like well that's what the -- doing in our. That's above the teleprompter. Well CN Obama using a teleprompter. I'm over -- well what happened just thought the one that's almost front -- president after he made a trip to Vietnam yeah. It's well made it off the cuff remark -- out. How he changed his opinion on the walked in he had been brainwashed been approached grab that Iran what -- you -- I don't -- They've -- life's work presidential candidate George -- brainwashed. So I can understand him being very cautious yeah.

It is thoroughly understandable defense no -- no question about it because of the unfairness. Of how was put his dad was treated he's made that choice that the discipline of the teleprompter is a better course. Then they -- nobody's saying that. That this tell predators have a place. And it's not a valid response to an environmental. In which you say one wrong word -- and you can spin I'll hold it at the very least a whole -- cycle auto topic you don't wanna.

But yeah yeah here's the difference who was a great communicate or only a few years ago that people raved about was Bill Clinton right -- you knew that this Bill Clinton if he wanted to write he'd be on a stage should be a teleprompter. He could literally step away from the podium say you know what -- give media center remarks yet. Turn -- teleprompter shred the speech right here in front of errant throw it down in he'd give you twenty minute. T is in here right kind of thing now is our fear. Ha ha -- our parents always that he was gonna turn the ten matter of arson or half an hour he but he had that capacity yes I don't know that Obama does. I don't think Romney does and people are looking for then genuine guy who can go off the teleprompter but also go off script and still be compelling.

Jeff you're on W marquis L good morning.

K guys gotta I gotta disagree I am local time. Yeah president shouldn't be lawyers they don't -- waking up finance and every question we have about these politicians rather than deal about money. It should -- a businessman and as far as way about 50000 people out it wasn't that important that this thing to do in the situation Julianne and no it's not a prudent thing to do to run a process but he did what he had to do to make a business get better or some I know.

Misused or -- it's well it's about the choice that he made in terms of the kind of working wanted to be end right right take I think people would react better. Somebody who's out there may be working with his hands -- BitTorrent or taken those people who need to be laid off and -- how could we turn these people. Into some new position or just some new path where they'll be successful. Not just cut them loose and discarding them.

great I'm not I'm -- Republicans -- for Romney here but I think we do -- business and like Rodney it's not Rondell White why not him back. -- do -- disagree do it again win them the medical thing here in Massachusetts now he can say hey it doesn't work I've tried it. You know it I didn't think we need a businessman holds what it takes and it's all about money that.

And I agree with you that hard especially. You know last a really tight you're going the election was was going on fifteen months ago. You could look -- so why wouldn't be nicer Ronnie was a nominee instead of McCain because they're you have a technician who understands these -- But that's kind of a narrow part of the of the the jobs at all so what you -- from a candidate I don't know if he could be a successful candidate.

And look what happens only -- charisma and together and called. You know that we we get nothing we get more in debt we have less freedoms Lester got scheduled in what -- do what is good for them money in a country that's.

Jeff do you think Mitt Romney if he was the president instead -- George Bush. Could've would've stopped the the AIG defeat any made the Freddie Mac stuff. What I'm what is that one was the compelling businessmen and and one was not judge you would not put George Bush as a businessman. In the class I think goes -- the Mitt Romney.

No not not all and I think he could have probably done. It went without any -- my money I think you probably wouldn't it make the hard decisions know you're gonna fail you you have to fill this is what business is all about. Also saved this little child will give you a loan for six months for this. But everything else goes no --

LL. -- so we area Najaf and I'm not saying he would be a bad president I'm saying that when you look at him as a candidate. Obviously be better than George Bush obviously be better president of Barack Obama but when you look at a candidate who's gonna be right at the moment. Before we're the energy is the energy is behind those people were coming out of the right side of that. The Republican Party who are saying let's get back to basics about our country is supposed to be. And there's also -- populist movement going on where the people want to feel represented. Mitt Romney is a guy who's coming down from the clouds. Of the elite. Other one of the -- self made hundreds of million dollar kind of guy who we have a feeling if there were a speck of dust on his carpet he'd be he would walk in the host.

Americans love novelty they absolutely love and our marketplace is driven by americans' fascination with novelty the problem is the presidency. Is not the place from office it is not it's -- who. Free -- serious.

Mike you're on WRKO good morning to you --

Good morning guys like Tom might Tom. Beckett this article Romney was governor there's one thing though always appreciated as a recovering alcoholics. And that's what he and Terry Healy did as far as knowledge law. Okay I'll always appreciate. I think they're the ones are rare rerun of that thing to grow. The other thing isn't you have some good callers this morning we've always some good points the thing about laying people off okay. It's one thing to lay off when businesses -- whatever. But I still think this guy has an answer from Bain Capital. For what he did put some of those just like -- deep you've got and that's why I was totally against -- you've got. Being governor because of what happened with bank Capital One and welcome to the -- too many companies were legalized legally legally okay. Raped pillaged and plundered. People lost their jobs well these people with their season whatever I think that the I guess I guess what I'm saying maybe maybe this can be turned in what.

Actually I don't think so I mean parts of it can be but the part to your zeroing in on is it you perceived as whether fairly or not are they hurdle business. And people don't want heartless technocrat.

Talking great I'm talking -- side I've just. That's what I see in this thing that -- you.

Those go hand in hand. Absolutely they do they didn't take great risk I'll say this on behalf not just a Mitt Romney and Steve Pagliuca the pain and any other venture capital company. They take great risks to putting up their money in the that the money of their investors -- They assess a company that's we go struggling and they go -- it is ruthless it has to be ruthless to Jeffs.

What's the early at all but it has to be the -- is out kind of work is that she you know well and it does it require certain levels -- make yourself into a hundred multi hundred million dollars millionaire. Doing that rather than helping people create jobs and make good things happening now lives rather than community organizer. Community organizers are being a talk show suffered a high school.

Oh I found that.

WR they.

It wasn't like that beginning and let me let me assure you of that. -- like campaign. One of those. Years now.

run in a phone -- who's -- Starr for -- Now think -- of the underwear while now.

That's a little nerve wracked -- So it is a new storyline out there Charles Krauthammer has a call among complaining about it and that is America is on governor -- And then that's -- cover up for Barack Obama's inability to lead I guess there's a couple of Op Ed pieces in the globe today.

Scott Lehigh -- loss for a couple of interesting piece is no question about it and in dressed interesting stuff. If focuses around the impasse around healthcare it focuses around. National concern on the the deficit and what to do about it do you cut spending do you raise taxes do you do a little bit of both do you do none of the above. And the sense that the is. Paralysis dysfunction and just named. But you know kind of the blame game and name calling going on Donald Washington DC instead a serious sober people getting together and trying to come up with serious and -- solutions.

You don't know our President Obama just appointed this board this panel guests too are evaluating come up with a plan for how to balance the budget correct and he did this by executive decree yeah after congress failed to do so and this is one of the failures it's being cited a lot in this whole thing's being driven by a lot also by Evan Bayh. And his comments. But with regard to why he's quitting the US senate and I I think he was entirely disingenuous that his purpose is to avoid political damage he sees this is a no win. Year for Democrats he doesn't wanna be tied to Barack Obama he wants to move forward having. Put distance between himself. And the disaster party which is the Democrats are run by Barack Obama right now we want to make sure he can run for president in the future. Without having to this just strong link to Barack Obama. And he's blaming it on dysfunction and Carter switches the popular thing to do now so now he's been everybody's shocked and all Carter scale -- the government's broken and edited so a lot of nonsense and they're making the same point about the fact that. People walked away from this board. That the congress wanted to create that would have. Are bound congress to vote on proposals to balance the budget. They're Republicans walked away because they don't wanna have to who maybe be forced general corner of raising taxes I don't hear what's wrong -- that well while he would have -- political process nausea.

He is what's wrong with there okay when the Republicans say one thing in one and in month one. And then month 304 completely change into 180. That's one legitimate problem that Evan Bayh is speaking to -- there are several months and likely files spread like Krauthammer erotica it's good it's great history is a great sense as to what's possible. With appropriate leadership with good leadership but when you doing the scapegoating of the blame game in the finger pointing and all the rest that stuff. Nothing gets done and people become more and more polarized so this some legitimacy to the notion that we becoming. More more ungovernable because what we do politically in this county today as we go to our respective echoed -- yes and we listen.

In but here's the -- like us who think like hang on a -- though there was one party. That is in line is vertical with the American people that's a Republican Party the problem today is you've got his Democratic Party -- most recently was George Bush who squandered an incredible surplus. In left us hanging cuts is there a point spent like Colorado -- good things are no Mallory Knox adviser drug and so I am not and I think huge talk about how we already and how -- that in vertical alignment with the American beyond saying the party is ideologically aligned with the American people you could take an aberration let's say we had a president who went off off the rails in terms that philosophy that doesn't change the supported by the Republicans in congress. The Republican Party philosophically is in line with the American people the Democratic Party. He is run by liberals now. There is no connection between what liberals want -- what the American people seems to be that neither body is in alignment with the independence. Of America. Barack Obama or had this support for a while he has squandered it in this very -- that the only for the election. -- I'm saying I deal I'll say it again maybe only army go ahead ideologically. Got the American people on the Republican Party are connected there is no connection. Between the whacko liberalism of the Democrats and how did Barack Obama win convincingly over an American war hero and a lifelong republic you know the -- There was a change election he represented change people or -- or Republicans they voted for Democrats are then how -- audio and alignment with the American plays well because that had nothing to do with philosophy. People were frustrated they voted emotionally you know those checks so is the fun plus your very simple it's it's factual oil is the philosophy of the Republican potty. -- Okay then the Republican solution to Republican's solution is follow the constitution cut government. Get more money out into the marketplace instead of in the hands of the government don't socialize medicine make it worse. -- that -- always need you know the list of -- OK so basically it's a it's a position of opposition to some of the craziness that Obama has embraced. I'm comfortable with the opposition. What I'm saying is you have to come up with a credible alternative. If you're going to be a credible -- I don't care -- the leaders Republican -- Democrats I know that's pretty clear to our audience are in different with as regarding registration I want an effective leader with regard to us being on governor -- the reason we have this conflict that Evan -- tried to -- in on is because you have leftists out their -- the country in a direction that's untenable so if you look at the Republican opposition of the health -- bill. It's not that there -- the party of no. It's a by the party of no to things that are unconstitutional it's socialist so if all the Democrats can throw on the tables unconstitutional socialist proposals that obviously. There's no way to work.

Together we'll await you yourself have said that Obama's failure can be tied win. To centrist sensible Democrat -- he can't even get the support of his own -- to get the ones who were scared of not being heavily -- that this did it's that they have a longstanding philosophical or principled opposition to a lot of the -- such a single -- which is proposed by the left wing of their product I don't deny that there's a civil war going on in the democratic try to it's been going on for thirty.

Bring any and all I'm saying is that the -- what creates the illusion of of government not working is just that Democrats. Under Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and the Hariri three leftist wackos. Are trying to pass legislation that's untenable to mainstream Americans which includes your mainstream Democrats okay cover so there's a fire -- story line out help help.

Then under -- that's why would I I don't know precisely the number so forgive me if I just give ranch seven to twelve. Republican senators and I had done in the U in the US senate obviously. Say we need a commission such as the base closing commission to address America's long term deficit problem this is a disaster for our kids. In a big disaster right grandkids it's time we grow up. They say that the rubble they they are failing to Mitch McConnell they help file at this boxes. Three or four months later they walk away from annoyed me was how is that responsible Todd because they identify the -- rob.

A final last spring and he felt that when we got to this moment if he's being does what he says -- if he's being honest it may be strictly political. But he's being honest he said hey we weren't much better shape last spring when I was thinking about this -- we are now now we squandered give back hundreds of billions of dollars more. And it's a different environment. Now maybe that's a lot of crap -- do you think. Then America is is ungovernable 61726668. Succeed don't make me try to say that word against John and -- WR feel Good Morning America ought it is.

guy -- let's go and I thank the American people finally begin to act is conservative liberal it's not Republican.

And -- Democrat because bush obviously was not.

A conservative. Republicans ET without a liberal -- which is what most old people in the Republican.

I don't how was he was a philosophical sellout. Who thought he could get along by acting like a Democrat and a lot of people think that's the only way the Democrats have had so much negative effect. That that's all you can do is imitate their their bribery methods with the American people.

That's what we're railing again absolutely. And Sara Taylor he's gonna find yourself in big trouble most G aligns itself with McCain.

Yeah million albums I don't know that surveillance running for anything -- will be interesting to 66172666. Seats exe Russ you're on atomic Todd.

Good marks and good morning born again Massachusetts. And then slowly you. You know I'm not so fresh faced some marriages -- just stand out above the ten previous candidates. And it has definitely change we can believe and don't give us a deal with Iraq some milk and cookies were and that's.

Ha ha ha ha -- The milk and cookies does have some appeal to a Annan it was it was painful enough watching the -- I want it obviously we have to watch the milk and cookie at the college summit although I don't notice I'll do the chocolate chip -- all day and happy and that now we're gonna be a ring of that'll be rid of performance 617266686. CK in this country be effectively run or is it too much acrimony. In Washington I think acrimonious because the Democrats are trying to push up the two way to. Whacko what do you think rich you're NW RKO.

Hey good morning guys very serious topic this morning I'm gonna keep it short sweet to the point. -- nation is comfortable. And a -- what. All of you know that we beta label -- which McAuliffe dumb. Gators then batters and all sorts of other names talk I saw you speak out last April. Eddie actually party rally on the comment. It's all just comments that. We need a smaller government if you check out to. National -- number two. Boy are number two winter of two quite and they -- free articles saying there's three days. The first one -- and a fairly. The second quarter social security and work and then this third quarters be that the education debate. This so the solution to arouse fear what needs to be god is the bozos battery congress -- a boating comments on both sides of the aisle. Better start packing your bags because we have an effect conservatives to congress. They -- quarter due makes smart legislation. If a because it doesn't take rocket fly home. Just figure out how to budget we need to slash big government. Start flashing big carrot red tweaked tax code starts giving at least a break. Get all the entitlement programs under control sort of gravy train as a finally gonna have to break people walked off the couch get jobs there will.

You -- here rich thank you for the call and thank you for the reading a Simon we will all right what else I don't you go shopping boulevard last fla. And I think -- which by the way is another reason the mid is may be questionable Republican candidate because he's not philosophically clearer and worry stands sees you know we alters. Based on conditions 617266. Exceeds six CK in the country be effectively run Tom and -- six AB WRKO.

6172666. C 868 the father never want it. The new storyline being -- by the Democrats to make up for Barack Obama's failings is to say -- this poor countries can't be governed. I think it's because the Democrats are too leftist and if they would make mainstream acceptable proposals to two Democrats then and they wouldn't have a problem.

Well look the point Jamaican it's actually brought to have brought I think for the very nicely first of all I don't think the country is ungovernable it is dependent upon leadership. The leadership can come from Republicans even Democrats stand -- him as article today is a great -- he reminds. Reminds us all of how Ronald Reagan worked with Tip O'Neill Tip O'Neill was an unabashed liberal Democrat Ronald Reagan needs no further explanation for me. He talked about Bill Clinton's working with Newt Gingrich. On welfare reform. I talked about the regular working with Bill Bradley another liberal Democrat. And they came up with very sensible legislative solutions to tax problems to welfare problems to -- Social Security problems and they came up.

It worked -- work term in other words if if people are capable powerful leaders. They can -- exactly the case exactly what Clinton did it. Clinton and -- right and brought him goes out of his way to talk about the skill set that Bill Clinton had also the that you know the dynamics that -- brought to his relationships. With -- Tip O'Neill he and others. And that's did that aren't so regimen and the country about darned is that question 6172666. -- before -- of the calls are what are few condolences see -- on what are your favorite singers died that's kind of a sad day. See if you remember.

This is on your currents here I'm sorry Mike and -- So my nature -- graces your favorite movie singer who died. I don't know last couple minutes try to make the way too much and how -- You've already got funerals and how much can you fit in China but how much how much of morbidity -- an eclectic and.

I don't know -- to -- last night. 22 extra him how will keep people. Oh stop that Billy had to be young neighborhood kid 54 terrible terrible terrible terrible struggle with cancer Terrell struggle -- off the other what the other one was actually went of those classic Irish wakes from mrs. Reagan's you can only what is just fighting just how.

Hot hot hot hot hot hot a hot. That hadn't quite standard -- is bigots -- was a lot popular girl kind of hot hot hot hot. Choose a 102 who. Yeah -- all she had eight children and then -- it is seen that coming they know that helped McCain did the idea how he said I was struggling that's -- and --

As a matter of fact everybody at the way it was talking about what a fabulous rich life she had. Revolving around areas like -- one was -- fifteen years ago so. How. Under my -- so that grandchildren galore a great grandchildren -- great great grandchildren is -- it was really a as it is good it was a good wake -- the general public and then the Billy out on us justice said since stirs up an event of go to the Billy -- funeral. Later today okay. Sad news. But we have in many different level terms of the rest of the show yeah we have some guests you know we do we have Charlie Baker the next governor will be here at seven Arafat are on the phone. Is that this Reagan will be heroin police expect went out -- went out and there's always welcome and -- we have just stick our Steve -- with the Celtics front office reported on what have Steve -- Congressman -- in studio.

We call him when she around with your ha ha ha I'm not sure why that hopefully will discover tough today why we love Lindsay quite so much -- let's get Obama WR KOI Bob.

Bob -- play you know.

Well yes. You know -- quick point. You gauge gerrymandered districts you know that -- representatives are completely safe and they don't have to be moderate. Look at Barney Frank you know explosives to get them out of there.

That is that was over a big problem here right.

And that it would and that eastern Nancy Pelosi after the democrats' one day. We are charged we're gonna do what we want -- what you.

She used machine and say quite as eloquently as our speaker says it. But she basically has this currency screwed attitude.

Second point is no longer left or right it's a question of where do you want more or less government regulation. And the west want to have more issues of all we don't want any tax dollars to -- DN PR. National public radio you know what. What politician to tell eject -- salt a church that's but the far right each. As -- government issues -- on issues like abortion. Books from libraries. George got left right it's more government or left government in individual liberty that's the new balance new extreme.

The new political paradigm I think is how they would say -- all right thank you for that Bob good morning to you sir.

They tied I don't know all the arrogance that official -- The great statement made by this girl a 55 BC. There was little it hasn't changed a bad and I -- they each country can't be governed. That they have to get used to. Declined and the middle class then -- the realization that. The -- is gonna be almost impossible debate I would be I'm out of debt service interest that they gotta be created that adequate.

But. You're absolutely right -- the debt is appalling it is the most reckless and responsible thing. I have never seen it as a horrific horrific thing we're doing my kids and grandkids -- is utterly appalling. And it should -- it it it should be condemned. Vociferously. And stopped. By both sides what is it takes a level we talk about leadership that takes leadership to -- attempt to keep America A gov and a bowl placing governor both republic. That means though leaders the real leaders who emerge whether they be Republican -- Democrat. Have to be prepared for the barbs that get tossed at them by the -- so Pelosi said to her left wing hey you folks -- the answer is no one single Payer and on a whole host of other things happen traitor whatever she has to be prepared for the blistering counterattack Republicans have to be similarly prepared. To say an -- about it to -- shows a sensibility he recognized -- example Scott Brown the new recent phenomenon that Scott Brown does not play well all sell well and would never be elected done in the south they -- different former -- we elect Scott -- reelect -- Susan Collins we elect and Olympia Snowe and then not seen as crazy people but they get characterized as crazy. But I infringes.

But the real people to put the blame on is -- C American people it is our job to stay engaged in to guide and require of these elected officials. That they've they've behavior in ways that our -- in line with our fundamental values and that's what the Scarborough election is all about the but the people re asserting their will we have to keep our focus on the politicians fall in -- they don't. There's lot of they have power they don't care what they do.

And an Indian at the same time those dvd when you say the Scott Brown the election is represented of of that sentiment that did that determination right now in the marketplace. You can't go out and condemn Scott Brown if fund balance he review something and happens to vote -- John Kerry direct people who already criticizing Scott -- Why because he's talking to Democrats that's.

Crazy. I'm hurting and do grown ups and voluntary again you know we've already had calls about -- he was seen he was doing as he's -- him come -- health. That expands his friends. We've got. Charlie Baker coming up after knows she's an ex governor -- dies or gets a normal little bit now I'm not as well as Tom knows them. By -- she gets enough job loss. Stop that would you.

He believes he's got -- my room it seems to -- and green might be -- childhood memory much quit everything nothing was as fresh as the great almost. Now and then -- interface option takes -- special place and touched it too long probably breakdown. I love you drag its pop mail us.

Thousand want so. Talk radio window of her. Our home for a college guard every afternoon from -- so hopefully he. On Boston's toughest.

You hardly know.
