They're in pretty good numbers sensible Democrats when -- that's why they -- very ridiculous so excited by the storybook appears to volatile power book got. He's got a guy here is Deval Patrick talking and he another one of Paul -- like cats at the hip to the president. Talking Bain Capital and Mitt Romney. -- position this year I wanna start with you're the governor of the state. Does it Bain Capital calls its its. Street they need headquarters is indeed they have been company. No they're not bad company nobody nobody is saying there are including the president you know that it's a remarkable thing. You know if you take a little step back to watch how good the Republicans aren't changing that changing the subject this is not about dean is not about death. Private equity in general it's about a guy who is holding himself out to be job creation creator. Who whose record is very great game and doing that I can tell us design that when he was it when he -- It was governor before me. We were 47 in the nation in job creation we're in the top ten today. Yeah that's it they think that's such a compelling point the Democrats over and over they tell us well the president have a little bit on retirees assessment don't know but it's -- all Mitt summit comes back and says yeah you're right I wasn't create a lot of jobs -- -- one hand one. Unemployment was four point 7% when I left office then. They're all I hope and I hope the Obama's dumbing us do that one and that I made and I think it was -- of who said recently. The government created more jobs -- this time. Created more jobs in his time as governor than Obama has during his entire presidency. -- we've -- more sign up coming your way Todd Todd WRK.

You do about him usually don't come right here with the -- the blueberries and all that stuff -- like you say that does that you know you just like I. I miss that hell I was is delicately as possible it's not like -- can't think some -- -- how I tell you -- sales yeah. -- -- Home on but I he's is out knowing I think it's legitimate what he's doing I know that's a rarity digression. I of course sought help. That's not that I do good I might get better idea gay guy was listened to a guy up podcast coming in this morning in the guy I was a toxic totally normal English except when he would say the word Latino. -- but he you know how when you say the hell is somehow different I was trying to define you know this -- The way -- says not blah -- not ideal date changes the LIQ I couldn't figure a way you do differently we Obama doesn't. -- does is yeah yeah as part of the fried video. He'll tell you also does some. Cuba it's not cool cool cool well that's discussed and really got hot hot hot hot hot Pakistan. -- Niemi I'm going on although he's got -- it's not. Afghanistan. I think he says Afghanistan -- -- -- -- like he's from Georgia she also says Republicans where he does best is racist. -- are are we live by my would Mitt Romney oh yes and yesterday was asked to play psychic. What would the United States look like at the end of 2013 in terms of jobs unemployment and economic growth if you were president. Ways CA EC a very dramatic change in -- perspectives. Small businesses -- no worse middle sized businesses and perhaps even some large multinationals and others say you know what America. -- looks like a good place to investigate would you like to be more specific about what I'm can be unemployment rate would be like at the end of your first year. That's I and I can't possibly predict. Precisely what the unemployment rate will be at the end of one year I can't tell you that over a period of four years. By virtue of the policies that we we've put in place we get the unemployment rate down to 6% or perhaps a lower. Defensive part of on the rate of growth of probably the global. As well so what we're seeing here in the United States that we get the rate down quite substantially and frankly I think she is we're gonna show it's such. When he should've done. Was found out what the average unemployment rate was during the bush years it was probably some like four point nine or five point -- only thing I should've said that exactly now and then they -- freaked out and why are you serious it is not possible. And Alia says all that's what it was when bush was our President Bush remember when you guys were running around talking more about economy does and how that. The jobless recoveries are jobless recovery yeah that's what he shouted for the what do you think of them claiming a 6%. Goal that that's what he will do I mean basically sent -- over another hour that on the runway headings he noticed it wasn't at the end of 2013. At the end of this term -- at the end of mr. now but I'd like you why -- he will be attacked -- attacked him. Vehemently for next such an outrageous. I don't know about that they don't want -- -- they don't wanna carry that subject matter can you know for another day -- two or three. Because what does it don't. It focuses on Hillary is our new president -- but it shows you when you admit to this interview with John Mark Halperin yesterday and from time magazine the guy he's one of the authors of game change your death any sounds terrific he's just talking very calmly like -- -- about the about the economy he did sound quite composed the tea and it. You know what he shows how easy this is if you're not if if Barack Obama wasn't scared to death that he was gonna lose and and fully aware of what a horrible job he's done as president so he won't talk about anything he's done his present all we will -- attacked Mitt Romney. You thought if you listen to Mitt after all these attacks Mitt sound reasonable and leader like him presidential. And this is shrill guy trying to demean them on the other side I don't know how that's gonna play overtime. Let's go to. And I just at before you a lot of what's out. You both on how much they hate -- -- -- an intelligent pass that probably all both say the idea you do you know really well actually both Mitt Romney after the past two or three weeks. Because we're coming around it says so want to turn it way out completely he is this the negative attacks of turn me towards Mitt Romney. Sort of a protection type of thing like. He's not that bad you're just lying about him now and then -- make me look more and more at his record at Bain Capital and things of that nature not so I'll probably have to throw my vote. It's -- -- burning -- yeah he's he's until June tiny hot hot hot hot sought the endorsement that terrible it about but you know hey it's in the door. So well you have had a chance to study -- but. We'll give you chance when it comes out -- -- that's right -- Jay Carney is a presidential presser you're probably the worst -- sister secretary we've ever seen in terms of his. The lack of composure you if you are gonna lie every day for a living. You gotta be slicker than Jay Carney yes. And it's like there's this thing in his conscience at -- you can't say that Jake you can't say that Cheney forces -- out anyway and it doesn't come off good. This is probably. The worst ever win -- has asked yesterday question. About whether the president is ready to withdraw his support for the Occupy Movement. -- -- -- Paralyzed with fear that the. But the president has once more. In Chicago. So our sport well I think here. Making -- comparisons between. Different groups what the president has said -- -- that. He has understood it. Frustrations and Americans have about. The a failure in -- -- in particular. How Wall Street in some cases to. Probably because of the -- -- role in the financial crisis that helped precipitate the worst recessions. That -- president's spokesman by. What you know as you want to throw away happy as he did the intro -- idea -- a very good check of our audience said. This is typical Todd overreach this is typical toddler brokerage and then -- hot hot hot hot hot and and and then and then. -- to listen to that. -- who is unbelievable we have a comparison yeah right. The honorable and wonderful Chris Matthews talking about Mitt Romney -- maybe Obama who know. Uribe asked a lot of -- lead us in the world without knowing what his world is all about -- a candidate for our highest office who holds himself. Well beyond the rope lines who complains about the need to explain himself. There is something strange they end -- finally weird and a man demanding to Annenberg public world demands commands a better word that we keep our distance -- do not tried too hard to enter his world. Could be either one earned hey Chris tossup -- -- in a quandary Yahoo! global problem now -- that was Tim yesterday talking about Mitt Romney and I couldn't believe what incentive because slow. We're still wondering where this president was born. We're still wondering how we didn't college. We're still wondering what his belief system is people still debates is he liberal is he mainstream. Issue of -- we do know one thing. He's transformed Washington he sure just sound as job he's done Tom and Todd WRKO.
