Now sure we don't agree. Well normally you kind of look like and what once they usually do. Appointment. John John did you we did some poor play that price -- one of the most hated admitting government the it was like yell or. A screamer what no I -- like I think the forward presence sergeant John -- I I wouldn't kind of because in almost. -- lines that are -- up. Trump should time meant it puts jets team you plan. And apparently it was blue moon towards him as a matter of fact he didn't like. Lou who aren't trying. Kyle I don't think I'm sorry. You. Didn't write down on the job. I didn't I wasn't clear -- doc investigated. I don't think Carter was good present all I was talking -- -- -- -- -- because the rock rescue. That's I was thinking hey John thanks for the call in did Carter which it's. You know by the way -- -- -- president Obama today actually during a press conference with Japanese prime minister. Took a swipe at Romney over the fact he doesn't think he would've made the decision to go after a deal. -- you thank you led to -- just and used it not true for all that what one would think you've seen any excessive celebration. Taking place. I think that people. The American people rightly. Remember. What we as a country accomplished. In bringing to justice. But somebody who killed. Over three customer services. And that's mark of the excellence of our intelligence teams in the military teams. A political process that worked. Team. And he had said that I think for us to political process used that time or take some reflection. Now if banks who took it to those who participated yes. Is entirely appropriate and that's what's been taking place I'll use campaign Hogan. He can't get this -- is. My personal role. Oh. What other folks would do. I just recommend that are right -- look at people's previous statements I. Oh whether they thought it was appropriate to own pockets. -- -- -- -- I also learned that. People. Meant what they said when they -- it. That's currently acts practice. Candy is then I'd go after bin Laden if we had a clear shot. And I did. If there are others who. Except one thing now suggest they do something else. -- I'd -- and let them export. Mr. President I thank you for making my point. Could catch in the -- Could catch. A -- that. It's just not truthful. It's just not to -- Romney said something 2007. He -- corrected himself which -- as a surprise he's a politician. But he corrected itself. No one really believes in open nobody believes in Iverson and the other Romney wouldn't mean the would put. A month. I think we're we're asked a question. Look look I'll look at the link that answer. And talk intelligence community to operate disguise and then of course the political process. -- -- -- -- Okay and -- because what his bold question and one of the results so far. You can take the poll question how -- cart dot com and today's question is is the Obama campaign ad touting the death of Osama bin Laden. In poor taste. Yeah it is a stabilizing at 90% with Ariana Huffington leading the charge he is used. It was despicable. It's there's much now about this commercial that President Clinton has done for the Obama campaign and the Romney reactions saying that they should not be. You -- this the way they are what your take. I agree completely athlete you've really I believe point that there Romney campaign. That using V some being knocked them. I assassination. Campaign is that great news that they had a year ago. He nodded to say basically that that Bob my -- and Romney might not have done it which is that -- I don't think it should be and how about that I think it's one thing to. Celebrate that fact that they did such a great job. It's one thing to have an NBC's back channel. From the situation room what's that going to have this week -- I -- -- which interviews everybody on the anniversary in this situation around which is -- press event that are about to me is perfectly legitimate. But attended that come pay Mac based on the most despicable things you can do it's the same thing that's genetic given date with the city AM call. Ariana Huffington or Arab -- -- she's. -- -- -- -- About a wise I'm reminded me that I had like I like Carter as ex president. The things you did it present not want this president so thank you referred to a seventh and then thank thank you. -- 8774694322877469. Point 322. Hey rob -- a day fine volley card -- at rob. -- Colonel listen -- noted in their right mind essential -- beliefs. This is any kind of -- -- power for Barack Obama it. The specious.

And back and and -- to have in about the issue front and under its best static. I'd. You look I think it's a huge mistake politically. I think I think he got called out of the white house press conference they would I think it was Japanese prime minister. It I think it's huge mistake. Yeah how bad taste it you know what I say. I'm glad. It's in that case at all. It's. Watch it's oil or. And. That's that's that's nasty you that that a -- the federal dog week with Ollie was that was that was nasty. It. Yeah now I look at. That this old dog business starting with with me that and the dog in the -- -- in the present eating don't like being. Wow -- Of them serve -- got back into the game.
