    Tue, 15 May 2012

    President Obama’s claim that the GOP is mounting a war on women has proven to be a failure. A month into his assault on the Republicans and Mitt Romney, the new CBS-New York Times poll shows that the GOP presidential candidate now leads among women--and men. Since April, women have gone from strongly backing Obama to endorsing Romney. In April, Obama held a 49 percent to 43 percent lead among women. That has now flipped to 46 percent backing Romney with 44 percent for Obama, an 8-point switch. Romney’s support among men has dropped, but he still edges Obama 45 percent to 42 percent. Will Mitt Romney take the women's vote?

There are checks and balances you can't just do things because you wanna do things it doesn't work that way and that's essentially what is currently happening in Washington. And I honestly I hope that people are paying attention. Because yeah the president again is just doing what every once for the sake of it and he's blaming congress and this is this is him. Banging the drums as we move into the election it's congress' fault it's congress it's not my fault. That the job numbers blow it's not -- all the economy stinks is not iPhone you -- broke its congress its congress blame them but look I'm I'm I'm gonna work around them and I'm gonna get stopped and that that he can't do that. But I guess if -- president Barack Obama you can. But for those -- support senator Scott Brown please explain to me when Republicans are crying foul and this is not a partisan issue. Legally constitutionally. They're I mean what the president has done is wrong. And again he has provided no legal justification people are still waiting. What this recess appointment.

By Obama I don't understand can you help me understand police. I don't get 61726668688774694322. Elijah welcome -- WRKO.

A look at. I think I. Learn how to play the game he's going aligned together on strong -- And you know he claimed he was gonna be an independent bank. And I would rather him go when they had. So weighing in doorway really believe is ready for the stage for this country that the try to stay in the heavyweight Kennedy did. And the way -- clamp that it will be if she yet then there Elizabeth the island.

But -- maybe he knows something we don't in terms of playing the game because he is immersed in it you know I tried to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. But I just can't understand and I was thinking too am in my kitchen on as a white in the count is down and they can. And it also supported the national defense -- should not format you can be detained indefinitely all well. You know this the president said I'm not interested in doing that but why would this senator's support this I mean these are things I mean it's just day after day after day I I try to understand this guy's politics and I just don't I don't know who he's pandering to.

General idea but I have a web site -- I don't know if you heard about it. Trend journal's art com. It's put out quite as bad names so when drove. And he does think that that I'm white Obama's intentions. With dad had only depend. Thing -- rampant growth mode right dead site down it's called for an external drive.

friends I'll check it out for his journal.

Think -- may or what part of it please you absolutely have like.

I say I like I clown he's he's like -- McCain type. You know Larry you know but you know he's a little better than the alternative but I'd rather than keep it real -- you know fight these guys I know he's in the you know and I -- a swamp but -- without liberals but I'd rather be a one term. Reagan type conservative then you know -- just keep. Getting ports you know going along with parking -- pork Szczerbiak I'd rather really do what he thinks is right is that they -- out there -- around.

Well I don't know you know how he said yesterday Elijah. How is it SA appreciate the call have a good weekend. That he cringed when he heard that senator Scott Brown supported Obama's appointment of our rich corporate he's he just cringed and -- look informed. Not saying when what -- did show up yesterday failure on WRKO I had.

Yard. Was concerned approach which of course Scott Brown is an election law. Open -- a little oh was it as. Tried to move to. She -- She can't do -- stock bubble. And it cubic let me go to them that then she got resort get elected Scott Robinson played in. I always do but.

Not that you know well it but I do in my blood pressure is optics and feeling better seuss' how I am typically on a daily basis so imagine if you -- around me 24/7. Let -- that the senator and and Iraq and and this is what I think people. This like people supported Obama and this is why people love Scott Brown because he seemed like he was one Abbas not one of them but now it seems like he's one of them --

At different at this point.

There -- apple nor does it really really. There really like I like to make to the court climate. Next. Arm. Huntsman marriages that have -- get to that late change. I think that is going to be enough to cause Obama smoke again. We're really really.

I'll tell you what bill and have a great weekend if Huntsman is day at the winner in New Hampshire and he makes noise. Again this is that gee you know Republican speed dating. Republic every single GOP candidate for the nomination which is amusing to me 6172666868877. Point 69 at 4322. -- a lot of people say it's a telling sign of the shifting political landscape. Massachusetts Republican senator Scott Brown says he supports the -- recess appointment. Rich court -- headed to the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Yup but back in July of Tony -- Brown strongly urged Obama not to make a recess appointment there's this evolution rich welcome -- WRKO.

Pirates a day I had --

Yeah -- Jim how are you are. Continuing on this is continuing from yesterday and we also heard that your expert this morning that -- and then I came late. I wonder re or explain what my. Parents do deal with that would be -- election -- House was taken over by the Republicans. To take -- little -- the world -- the majority. Power majority of the Republicans in the house. In congress two cents. Constitutionally. Progression to the senate to recess because they wanted to go to recess in what. In and actually it would because -- it. Version. The the continuing resolution. And -- version and they were. Well. Two weeks. Ago. That's where the public. A minority in this oh it's about the majority of Republicans and yeah and Democrats in the administration's. Support of the majority.

I won't say this though I think at Dave I do agree with those senator on this point senator brown. Look the system is broken and that's one of the reasons and right I mean this note not not not the -- and and and now the process of Washington that's why he said he supported disappointment I agree with that.

Not our issue now what happens in order but the senate to which used to reset. Congress passed through your -- department and that has also agreed to recess right in order to meet the constitutional requirement.

Know what I mean by it that the liberal none I don't know what I mean by the system is broken as the stalemate and the BS that goes on in Washington in a general term that's why he said he supported this amongst other reasons. And so.

That's why they call it yes we took power. That's what they wanted they wanted things to slow down. They didn't warrant an all powerful federal government what are some -- lynch announced that -- from the house. Shall rule over the people with an iron --

But but they don't want any wind doesn't mean -- how long does it go on America and you've seen the poll numbers. Americans are fed up with congress and they are shifting their attention from the president and that's due in part to the big media push to -- to help make this happen. Judy in activity -- congress and the stalemate and and the insanity that continues to go whine now. How much longer can we take this and while I understand -- Grassley right this is the way to founding fathers wanted it school degree but to this severity. I ask you really.

You need statesmen in the people look at the lineup could go after the profiles in courage award. It needs people like I hate to say it got upset that right now car or more willing to work with the other side. It's hard yeah there's not willing to work with the other side he never has been well that's yeah -- the other side you have to have been. Yeah I'll pull albeit not willing to work the other side she'll never had a bit.

That's true that is absolutely true didn't know where it you're right about that and I gave have a great weekend here's the thing you're right because and we saw this and I mentioned this guessing from the very beginning of the Obama care debates. Our -- chit chat so whatever anybody can debates. We Y giants stopped campaigning we want. That's -- that's what his response. 6172666868877. 4694322. Also join the conversation on FaceBook I asked the question on my FaceBook page. Why would senator Scott Brown's support this recess appointment. -- the president of the United States can and you is good enough for UI any for senate senator Scott Brown how well Washington is broken. We get to stop the stalemate really. Is that enough for you to continue to support senator Scott Brown guys -- me now. Jet -- with you till three today right here and Boston's talk station and six AB WRKO.

I'm alright folks it's 159. WRKO.

As I said. I like to try to help you guys out I know what's -- there's a lot of stuff going on and people are -- concern at their lives but so we knew we constitution by the way as a constitutional scholars so to speak teacher educator. The president should clearly know what he's doing is wrong and and as a as a lawmaker senator Scott Brown. In my estimation. Should also know. That. His support of this would you know I guess would pretty much just say send a message to my Tea Party supporters. Which really helped sweep him into to office. And he made out like that but -- that's a fact and I think that's why so many people -- excited about senator Scott brown and time and time and time again. -- my I think is you can't have it both ways and you know I'm not summit. You all some people have said to me what is your issue with senator Scott -- known issue with the senate is a fine man he's I'm sure I've met him is nice it has nothing do with that. I don't believe some of the thing he's this and some of the things that he said. I don't like some of his politics -- questions about it I have it it's no different with senator Scott Brown than it is with anybody Obama Pelosi. Deval Patrick. John Boehner some Republicans Lindsey Graham and his support of the national defense authorization act I mean I just can't understand why some people. Refused to support. I'm so -- criticize politicians that they may super. They have to be held accountable do they not. Yes they do. -- they don't and I mean that is and it's our right to know and ask questions and furthermore. It's our responsibility. It's our responsibility sites I've really help how we have finds senator Scott Brown -- caught up for an -- all I was listening now we old. Pray and I know Chris -- produce a how we show up also you don't find job by the way and I I I hope you guys confined to Salvatore welcome -- WRKO.

It is so in this yes -- I would guess if you question. Probably doing the in this business.

Yes they -- take a -- for polling before and across the ocean and I'd say yes -- it and the thing is no different with the you know -- I have to.

Well I know what I should now I guess what everybody else knows a little bit well I can't we this is out there and I'm gonna let you talk you call. -- Tell everybody what you want everybody know about the constitution could your very very it's -- when it comes to the constitution.

Okay so I thought they can work for public look at thought that you are probably do it because I think you failure you'd probably be beautiful. You're full intent on doing that -- to contribute up in smoke what is legally in the religion what an awful. You go to fund which won't continue if what you -- Okay -- and everybody gets people went to school yet nobody ever questioned them about the constitution. And article -- we -- That go Obama. Is if it is an unlawful president.

Well that's what we -- yesterday I -- it okay go ahead.

Have you ever -- American -- prudent. Let's take.

I did so I did you did you listen to the beginning of the -- terrible. -- Did did you hear this we have big man on he talked to both of them. Yeah I guy and you talked about various sections of the constitution when it's an appointment unlawful writing it's.

Molly mentioned the illegal and -- I'm awful Palin told factual it is illegal in the constitution. Can explain something to -- out. --

Yeah doesn't sell if you really hear what you're saying I gotta be honest it is hard for me understand -- did you say that Brett McMahon was wrong moral. Okay well what he's saying I.

Any mention also the word illegal there was little footwork in the constitution. As an illegal everything in law. -- blamed -- article trick and mentioned that the constitution. In this supreme law of the land. What an illegal can be crucial illegal. And what an illegal can be change sure illegal but you can change in law. Did not.

Our rights avatar thanks to the call I want to do. I liked it enough time because last time you -- on. And again it's hard -- understand what you're saying somebody sent via taxes yet you are the hits you cut it not idiots up and is set. I obviously Salvatore I gave -- time it's not I don't know really what you're trying to say it can't change illegal can't lie keywords semantics -- but I think -- the -- or. I really you know. It's what 7666868. Exit 8774694322. Accountants and Alan banks welcome you into the working out.

Go ahead. -- my problem not with our I don't like Obama. All -- about imperial presidency. The real issue here. Portugal. Fashion and Clinton. -- It's not that's not the point the problem with one at -- in Russia.

Okay. In terms of what George puts it now Helen even the president himself he said you know back into it as an innate he said that. You know George Bush can make -- that he's going along on he can't do that. Now black city kite -- that he taught the constitution for ten years and he just. Write about it. -- Right right he said that he -- that -- that what the president Baghdad was doing was wrong. On yeah I guess one of his lawyers at in the and I guess what he's doing is legally sound cell. How can the president now have it both ways I mean --

expect that. --

Right that's exactly that's the point that's what. That's what people say hey Alan that's what and that's why they're trying to say -- that's exactly what we had -- we can't say today that early this afternoon. They weren't -- a session they work they would not read they were they were they aren't as a matter they -- there for ten seconds fifteen seconds. And.

Can -- it is that I'm. Doing it and the contribution that. It not be appropriate is it satisfaction that it typically that don't go to the store -- That. --

yes what. Scott Brown said Alan this is why I asked the question early senator Brown's analysts and they get the way the game is played it he said it's ridiculous Washington is broke he can't stand -- above a level block so that's why he supported disappointed because it sends a message but I still don't support that that decision.

I thought for sure. That the political. -- Obama into a portable. Looking trickle out. All right the Republican dirty. -- not. -- without. Current situation and why the major issue that. -- incredible. Put a product -- it can count. On that form there are procedures that. Form. Futures -- little.

Well but how I see I have faith have a great week and I have faith and in this part. Legally somebody's going to challenge since an -- bomb might want to -- he cannot be you know he's deciding win not the senate is in recess when it's not. You know and like you said that -- returns at least a hundred years of precedent he bypasses the constitution's advice. And consent requirement he's doing all of this stuff right. So what's gonna challenge yet do not fret. It he's not gonna get away with this. This is where I'm happy this is why I'm an extraordinarily surprised that senator Scott Brown supported this but on one hand I I sort of understand why he did but. But like how we -- I cringed Mike welcome your NW RKO.

Let me stop I -- I don't to orbit as I'd probably eat cherry is at its absolute.

That says it was okay with -- this guy doesn't get tool.

I'm you know what are -- defend -- Mike I'm trying to understand him.

What -- is what does it trying to put labels like it's a little. It's gonna buy it might be a good guy is an absolute disgrace what are -- haven't been. So that the -- broken. Speak out against illegal immigrants take a drop wasn't speak out against certain things happening. What -- gather that this great. First --

Eight yacht bill it sure she banged it against I'll give the guy sent out eight -- on the site but it'll.

I.

That's what it's about time we call it got loud it would be defeated in that debate. Because two other players but.

And there.

Barack and I yeah. But a Mike it is so funny I'm sorry I'm not laughing at you. But maybe I am just love that but you do make up 61726. X 6868. 877 point 69 point 322 what's interesting about the precedent that the president has recently sat back in -- 2010. Elena Kagan right. That a solicitor general Elena Kagan wrote about this very thing in about the president being able to fill such vacancies through the use of recess appointment power and basically. The based on what she wrote which I'll put on my FaceBook page what the president it is it's that LA decay and guys. Not do you listen to Elena Kagan -- softball by the way that is the eternal question and it's what. Jim welcome -- WRKO.

I don't know I'm good -- And -- thank you it was a sort of -- Derek it's great I'm grateful that. Our order respect I would expect.

A lot of them.

That's nice mustn't they -- Jim thanks so instead jet boat Jason you're WRKO.

Our regard got a -- answer.

I would let -- Pretoria and I think maybe I can help try to clarify that a little what the lawful legal and all that kind of stuff right -- Okay so the constitution. Is the law of the land a great maritime law would be the law of this city. Circuit and for example that they have statutory law it might be illegal for a minute ago eighty. In at 65 and I might get ticket for an a citation and but is that necessarily unlawful. And now -- murders somebody. That would be illegal and definitely unlawful at least see the difference by legality. Is something like he said they can change the statute to make sure they can do all these political maneuvers and -- all these statutes in the law. Quote unquote lost but the constitution. That the law the law doesn't change. I just wanted to draw that out there that's. That's kind. You know they call it.

Tolerable law you'll do all of captured. When you look at what the president just did I mean when you think about what you just add and Salvatore they keep a clever it was hard for me honestly to understand it. On this executive power when he's it's -- expansive. It's just too many. Isn't the line is is he overreaching I mean -- we outgrew it are clearly overreaching here.

But Jennifer that -- that knew we can go back for example take executive orders. Okay exact quote unquote hold the law. But that's against the constitution because only the legislature can write law -- executive pastor actually -- a lot not write law also an executive order. Is unlawful but that's been going on -- A hundred years -- would have.

Around now I know I listen thanks I appreciate it -- right. I liked it. It's Smart stupid people that listen this -- eight. It just says he is Smart stupid -- that's nice. A lot of Smart stupid people but I am opposed what Elena Kagan wrote back on -- which she wrote to the Supreme Court. And our president may fill such vacancies and use the recess appointment power. Obama -- declining to recess amounted to a three days a lengthy period the senate is she gives examples it's very very interesting seriously I wouldn't put that on my FaceBook page and maybe you'll understand what's going on -- right. Rick Santorum who is rising in the polls on some levels set has set a few things over the last couple locked. Last couple lot months days weeks or we're gonna discuss I find it to be very very curious and interesting a lot of people are crying out there screaming racism.

I'm not sure. I honestly I'm not so.

Sure we're gonna talk you guys about you guys let me now. Right jamboree with you till three today right here on Boston's talk station and succeed WRKO.
