Now the I think the big news today is that day is that Barack Obama has said that the at a news conference today he has said that the private sector is doing just fine I mean Nokia today it's. It's it's. It's interesting that he said this because Peggy Noonan today -- has a column -- Lane here he. The truth of the matter is that. As I said we've created. Four point three million jobs over the last 227. Months. Over 800000. Just this year alone. But might -- doing fine. We're we're seeing weaknesses in our economy. Have to do with state and local government. She's serious. I mean is he. Bleeping series. Here's -- this is for Peggy Noonan sculpted in the Wall Street Journal it became apparent some weeks ago when the president talked on the stump where else but an essay by a fellow who said spending brokers actually lower than that of previous presidents. This startling to a lot of people who looked into what and found that the man that left out most spending from 2009 in the first year mr. Obama's presidency. People smear the president was deliberately using a misleading argument the paint a false picture. But you know. Why would he go out there waving an article a could be him immediately be debunked. Maybe because he thought it was true. That's more alarming is and it says Peggy Noonan the idea that he knows so little about the facts of his own economic program. Then he really thinks he has almost spend their. It is pretty alarming but this is even more alarming but he thinks the economy the private sector is in fine shape. We does he have any idea how many young people have have left the workforce. Does he have any idea how many people have gone on disability. There's another story today saying the number of people on food stamps has -- During his. Administration. They're the big percentage of adults in the workplace. Who haven't given up looking for jobs is at a thirty plus year old wall. And he says everything is is fine. In the private sector. He keeps creek -- Hugh -- he really doesn't know what he's talking about it. This is this is one of the the -- astounding gaps that he's ever made and and what play them what for the Mitt Romney. Cut I mean Mitt Romney has already got they got a TV spot running as soon as just running on. The Internet you know lectures with the way you're you do your quickie but I mean this'll come this'll be this spot from that got cut from Obama will be played all through the fall I'm sure. But I hear is -- here's what Mitt Romney had to say yeah after run after the press conference. Where that a record number of home foreclosures. For the presidents of the United States to stand up and say the private sector is doing fine. Is gonna go to history. It's an extraordinary miscalculation a misunderstanding. By a president who's out of touch. And we're gonna take back this country and get America working again. And his answer for economic vitality by the way. Was of course pushing aside the private sector which you said is doing fine. Instead he wants to add more -- government he wants another stimulus he wants to hire more government workers he says we need more fireman or policeman more teachers. Did he not get the message was jobs and the American people dead. You know digital was to Obama always talks about how why he's got to give the money to states that had to lay off teachers and police officers. He never talks about the giving money to what states that have had to lay off some of the yes some of their state EEOC. People. That are rather that otherwise would be running around. Harassing the the local version of Mary -- doughnuts or Mary was coffee. This I don't. He he really thinks that that when you give somebody a make work job in in some. Federal bureaucracy your state bureaucracy. He thinks it's a real GOP thinks they're really producing something they're not I mean I'm not saying that everybody who works in the public sector is -- Parasite they're not unique cop she needs firefighters you need to teachers -- people working courts etc. etc. But you don't need all these bureaucrats. You don't you don't need these people. And it's at the all this as is it's another way -- one under more -- For the unions I mean does he really hasn't got any idea from Wisconsin he he say. What they used to say about suburban stay the the they never forget and they never -- I can't remember what the -- exactly someone will come up with Avandia texting on -- -- idea mortgage text one which is 68680. But he doesn't learn anything from his mistakes. Obama if he doesn't seem to pick up. An end you know it -- you know also says that that matches this number -- we've mentioned before this week asks me in Wisconsin. The American federation of state county and municipal employees before. The the -- forms the win then and the stoppage but of the state of automatically turning over union dues apps we had 62000. Dues paying members in Wisconsin now what they have a choice about whether they going to be in the union or not they're they're down to 28000. 29000 dues paying members from 62 to 29000. So let's -- a -- In the public sector think of these public sector unions better -- that are that are bank rolling Obama's bid to what the finish off the economy. 18774694322. You know what the word of the weakest. Heavy winds. And ends. Jim Cramer was using it today on is he somebody cities might as well apparently a re elect Obama sign on the shiny -- home. You know he's -- all this brought the president's fault this is all Europe's fault -- -- -- -- I thought it was the fault of though the war went there was -- the fault of Easter being earlier was -- late this year whenever it was it was that that's what caused the the economy to be bad. And then of course it was the fault of George W. Bush. Where in the city of Boston and I find your books anywhere just about anywhere there's the paper store weren't going to be in Chelmsford there's a paper stories West Roxbury they have about. They have all my books aren't that many bookstores left in the city of Boston now that I think about it but they they definitely have a but the paper stored West Roxbury. Nazi. 978 says on the Apollo one more extra text -- H the these this guy is saying the public sector is hurting the set up the next bail. 1877469432218774694322. Don't forget those awesome green jobs says 860 vote Barea is a disgrace to America. Get those awesome green jobs you mean like if you -- if if you're pushing a bone. At the the ever green shuttered warehouse in -- be in Worcester County urea Joerg you have a green job. If if you're pumping gas into Prius you have a green job. This is the -- account to green jobs. The I guess these are some of the four million jobs they've created. Who. You think is buying goodness you always that you don't you're not 81. You you're not dealing with he you know -- Harvard Law School admissions department where you could just say you know my father was Kenyan national and you know. Well I don't have to -- it you know I'm mixed race and -- you know you get. Here give me a break here and I'm a foreign student I was born in Kenya.

Guilty anymore you have to do something and this is ridiculous what he said. 18 of the the public the private sector is fine. 18774694322. Only the simpler shine on this sneaker tonight on the yeah. Evening newscasts I'm sure they will try their best 18774694322. 774 can you imagine if George W. Bush said the economy is fine. George Bush has an unemployment rate for most of his administration about foreign actors. -- have to 5%. And they called it a jobless recovery. Right the jobless recovery sort he had said that the economy was fine he would have been. -- -- By the leftist media 18774694322.

Yeah so honestly I think right up there and -- got a really -- on this on the turn at the two major issue. I think that to. The big gap they know it all out -- it. And that that they want. Yeah -- I don't I think so I mean everybody everybody was dropped out of the of the that workforce. Everybody that's on unemployment everybody that's on food stamps and used to have a job I mean everybody ought to think about what he said and how clueless he actually yes. He hit it in any re and Leslie said he truly believes. But -- that the tub you know hiring. You know Osama. Deputy to the assistant associate commissioner in the department of energy and department of education for a 150 grand a year. Is the same as hiring as that the private sector hiring somebody who actually produces this company could holding your hand or a service that you actually meet. He's he's.

Allie I'd like to read two comments I hope I can get a minute before you talk over me or cut me off. Number one auto industry -- the auto industry today with four years ago number two would -- again. Still almost 25 million digital 45 billion dollars why -- That's does your government motors going. Is George W. Bush made of gas for eight years Mitt Romney -- more -- in the past twelve months that. -- George W. Bush bit. Now yes. He has a day and you know. I didn't cut them off. I didn't cut him off. I wanted to discuss what could not find him I wanted to discuss with the move back -- is that it. The three private sector is doing fine. Wanted to not dying -- you you're not talking offered his conversation just him. I Q how could we celebrate diversity. Why can't we all just get along.

And excited to try out when you they'll -- interest and by 8 o'clock I just can't be sold. Well. But again last week he was wave -- around assessed but this column on the -- from the Internet saying that he was actually a us a a cheap skate when it hit tight wad when it came to spending money. And he didn't even real -- apparently didn't realize or nobody told him that -- the guys have forgotten to include the first year of his administration in the numbers. -- really what what -- thank you is Cheerios and more on -- felt like it. Probably could be etched open. All life goal I think you IE I think you're underestimating. Is his stupidity. I think your -- you've really got to watch. You've really got to think about all the stuff he said over the years I mean it and you know the cut now I think about it whatever George Bush said. It it pails in comparison to all the all the screw ups that he's made me. George Bush -- know with the premiere of up -- you'd know who Musharraf wants it back in the 19992000. The biggest goal for anyone who didn't know what that point who Musharraf once I was before nine elevenths. And I did he said -- underestimate them that's a funny word you know he didn't say the Intercontinental. Rate rail the Intercontinental railroad that's a good when we offered forget -- -- As opposed to getting back that we can make it to November that well. Thanks like Michael Valiante thank you can. 18774694322207. Says on the -- one mortgage a text line. But how -- it's Friday a -- everyone will forget it by Monday and let's Mitt makes a lot of noise. I I don't I don't know about that number it's certainly not going to be forgotten by us will be playing this this cut to for the rest of the year for sure. I couldn't believe when I heard it. Even if even if he believes it. Even if he truly believes that the only suffering in this country economically is in the public sector. You would think he wouldn't say you would think he would be Smart enough. Not too. Not to alienate not to offend so many people who suffer. In this economy. 18774694322. As as Georgia as while Reagan said 1980. Are you better or worse off than you were four years ago. Fill up your next with how we cart web fill up. Back okay how do I listened and listened to the present today yes and and part of his description that they talked about for Europe. Physically it was counter to what Ireland has done Ireland to -- a 20% pay cut across the board right. They hit prescription is don't do that do like me. Paid employees built into debt. Right well that's what did that to -- France said that that the -- the guy -- -- Sarkozy. He he restored the the retirement age for some people to sixty Sarkozy put up to 620 I mean. There -- what does she think that day that he can he can just repeal all of the laws of mathematics. Well no -- I read something recently that said it was just that little paraphrase it said they're liberals they must be intelligent. You know. Everything throw. A boys that is that is a great saying who said that he remembers saddest. Oh in the book every -- Thanks for the call -- 01877469432218774694322. And done it's that's one of like the -- Larry you're next with how we cargo have Larry. And now I am sorry to say and it's really your fault because you're at and acknowledge the emperor's new clothes or where no island. In Iraq and Leo -- -- about emerald city now will I mean it's really delusional and so many ways of fuel system get it. It's a start and end. You you don't think people get that that he is the -- Ambien charitable here that he's out of touch. I think a lot of people have. So turned up they don't even hear it anymore. The -- I -- the election is so pocket you know it's just up in the air and yeah I don't even know anymore it's just. It's the I also -- people don't even -- When it. I must sailor I didn't you know what I heard this morning that he was -- I was driving around I had -- make a speech in Lexington and then I was driving back home. And it in and I heard that he was going to be making doing a press conference and you know compete you know excoriating the the congress apple which is Democrat by the way. And -- FY I must admit I I I had no intention of ever listening to the speech I didn't listens to his marks are the press conference I mean I didn't pay and I you're right you're right people don't pay attention to the guy. Because I know that's just run around the country you know raising money and he's -- you know the ironic thing is. It's turning out he's not as good at raising money is Mitt Romney and an addition all of his other failings. But probably -- the country don't care about those border the islanders who dancing next week. You know that's the problem is trying to get you'll understand and listen. He could it distract them away from something that they're going to be distracted away. Keep up that America. Expects Larry -- It's there or it's ironic you know we -- talked about before you know sesame that it these there's more information at your fingertips than at any all the time in human history. And yet the population is bombing down -- Williams who. Who preceded me in this cheer -- used to talk about a book kolbe amusing ourselves to death I mean. It's it's truer now than it was when Jerry used to talk about the book -- twenty or 25 years ago. Using ourselves to death. Michael your next with Howie -- go ahead Michael. Ali he all of this money in this the first stimulus. That went to the cities in the states throughout the that this country. Two to support police fire department. Two teachers. It's fine except by by its very nature abide by that definition is it -- and the job. So what do what happened I'd like to know what ever happened to shovel ready projects for. It's our punch line -- that he where he doesn't use the joke very much remember he made a joke about it. There were -- is what shovel ready as his rhetoric. But I think if you had shovel ready even if I had not element paper that throwing billions of dolphins into public of a building project but at least at. At the end of the McConnell if you you have something he's got -- world bridge global whatever. The problem is -- these days especially in Massachusetts at the end of the tunnel is -- some cracked concrete in some some lights falling down on cars that are driving by in the inside the bottle. I didn't say I'd like the idea of the participants the better its that the lateral to people a bit but it was a ridiculous statement had to make I hope that he paid for this. I hope that that did that in the media just suffering colossal for a. Statement saying that this is the worst is this is the worst recession since the Great Depression right it doesn't say you don't you realize -- -- -- He didn't realize how bad things were but the private sector is fine I don't bite. At it. CRC a Michael this it. It's scary. 207 don't worry big -- have something to say about this this weekend. 1877469432218774694322. -- -- car. 18774694322. This is really got everybody. Worked up on Friday afternoon. -- mortgage text line. 617 how -- your wet told us. Teleprompter the United States just missed -- the dreaded private sector is being fine. To death just ask Mary loose. But the great and one girl that I saying you know their their routes the the EEOC is out seeking victims and you know what they say. They -- many times people don't know what their victims. -- So the government is gonna told them that their victims. I guess if your victim you're more likely to vote that Democrat. Democrat. All right 917 how always Obama has gone from taking shovel ready jobs to making shovel ready claims about the economy if you catch my drift. Yeah I I agree. I was at this I I had to speak to this group. Our conservative group today in Lexington. That was an office building. Suburban office building and federal agency has eight. As -- idea. And off suite of offices in this building. I didn't know that still today. And I am before I'll just properly while about the same by saying yes I do have the free Cadillac for -- Cadillac I love it and it's an SR accent platinum white you can see it tomorrow -- in Chelmsford -- the paper -- From eleven to one spot -- some of them and have to give up the free car -- fall was paid from cars until I had this free car. I I parked in the in the spa and and was walking to the to the building in and I noticed all of a sudden that there was this. That was a world of champion new Chevy and tell us. And I actually opened the -- Chevry Impala general. Separate the middle was a -- care. Grand care and by the way in and a that I saw was viewed the world the date the spaces were all reserved for the for the federal agency won't mention that because I get up against these people and but the fact is. Another thing Obama doesn't understand is that not only of their fewer jobs not only have there been more job losses in the private sector. But the jobs in the public sector have become better. I told the Croatia and I said did they want signaled assault Leo all the the federal up plates. On the new Chevry Impala was. And I suppose people are gonna unlike meet those -- -- have those cars for the rest of their careers stay within the -- to give up their cars is when they were higher. And he he doesn't. He he. He doesn't understand EU SA today 88 problem -- king. Moan about liberal publication has done. Any number of stories about home. Much more well compensated. People in the public sector -- in the private sector and on I'm not say you know listen I know things are getting tough in the public sector to work tougher anyway. Today there's a story after the vote on Tuesday not just in Wisconsin but in a San Jose and San Diego California. Two was two to start the restricting the pensions the defined benefit pensions and switch in new employees in the city. The cities over to walk up. 41 case today the mayor of LA said he wants to do the same -- mean again and usually he's extremely liberal guy. But you know what his -- -- -- don't have any money. There's no money left. In and they keep talking -- gonna have quantitative easing you what that means but just means they turn up the printing presses even more. You can't you pay a price sooner or later with its like we paid a price in the seventies and give modeled after remembered the seventies really socked. At least in the late seventies because there was inflation. In with inflation came stagnation. -- the beat melded together word stagflation. 1877469432. To -- when your next with powered car go -- -- and. Probably it would -- misery index. Yes the -- -- -- -- -- double digit unemployment inflation in mortgages. Outburst also bought an 81. And to get paid eighteen point 6% in just -- though. I paid 70% 1980 I thought I had the most expensive mortgage in the world. I was in more on my I know on one family house and Somerville the guys I work with -- the globe at City Hall were paying for for bigger houses in new. You know because -- because the interest rates course. Yeah and I put 20% down back there. You have thirty 8% of your ink com. Could caviar house yeah they do that way in you wonder why we're in the situation we're in due to Barney Frank and -- all that stuff. But to my point would be. If as far as Obama he couldn't run -- lemonade -- make a payroll. Figure out the alarm system. The hook up the phone service. I make this trash pickup and I don't think he could -- me he actually he will be set after seeing what to do he had no clue. This for the private. -- -- -- You know you don't glimmer weasel -- that Bill Clinton because his the state troopers had to committed shall out of work mr. coffee. Every Saturday when that when the cook was off he couldn't figure out how to run mr. poppy and -- but. Boy -- how was how one you know how out of touch is this guy and how -- talk about somebody doesn't know how to run things but he's he's he's John. Compared to Barack Obama. Obama Obama right -- he's okay. And -- what's one. State's first class is -- at the same thing it's like they could do it that the old that's owed to them. And begin to say something about these these lower class it's fine the middle class she -- what he's a middle class jobs you know that mean. He'd -- it means people in the private sector -- just he just has no he he's never been in the private sector. That's the -- that's the reality it end -- Eric thanks Clinton and during his brief forays into the private sector like trying to sell the block I mean eat you don't -- -- he has quote unquote writer's block. Can't finish the book and -- somebody whoever once steps up and writes the book for. And of course seed that's the -- getting back to a book that's when he put in the author's bio that he was born in Kenya. 1877469432. To build your next with Howard cargo have -- Back to the good that probably -- But they -- a bit. You know Obama the pesetas Ali who would would -- -- you know -- I don't want to have that I've created four point two they created anything. I think you've got everything apology it's that the traditions up. We have people -- I think he's of people out of his notebook and netbook product of people out and anybody can -- I hope by the got to get laid off. And they'll probably is -- it's there is no way to enable that there are reports of people ultimately presented. I do that now. I know somebody somebody said the media that they would you get bonuses and I said I said boy you don't know the radio business anymore you know. -- -- that you're right I mean not people don't get raises Leo the bonuses are pretty much gone. People are -- people a concern and you know. And they won the Gallup poll was taken the first of the year I think not maybe it wasn't Gallup poll but they asked people what's your greatest fear. If for the year 2012. In a majority of them said over Obama getting reelected. Mean that's that's certainly as well -- -- and just about I mean I'm more worried about Barack Obama getting reelected and I am about a terrorist attack. I agree I would you know how -- -- the outrage it's. I was -- and to what level is two other depression -- what you sort of content going to be able Barack Obama Biden job hopefully -- There could be a whole lot of people thought in the country flat out stack and stick it in the -- Are you gonna that they put them as typically seventy's it's got that fuel to at all. It is the the only difference is a billion camp that he you can't take our -- into the supermarket and scrape off the labels on the to get the price down because they all got bar codes now. That's about it all I can say. Well it -- people could pull off. -- the call bill one -- I'm telling you don't realize when if you if you weren't alive or you're too young you don't realize what it was you're going to go to a supermarket in the late seventies. And they they didn't have the mark -- back into the it they had to -- the labels in the price will be going up so fast. But if you be you know if you if you got a key and a bit of Bob. Beans. You know generic store brand being it's happened shop in union square in -- there would be. That would be so literal breeze on the on the label because there were so many labels that just been stamped every week price what do you know. 75 cents 707079. -- mean okay it's only -- up two cents two cents a week but every. Everything's going to. I was so -- boy I mean people were mad -- or -- I think people are mad now. One -- but I think -- -- you know -- political correctness it's -- it's T you don't be you don't get day in the public outcry as much yet and until they get a chance to watch. Pull the curtains at their local precinct. Like they did in Wisconsin on not Tuesday one date set or in news or in San Diego and San Jose. I'm Howie -- -- people -- this the next hour this is a monumental. By Obama also wants -- knowing he's. For him the economy is doing fine is one it doesn't matter -- the -- the economy is a crappy he is why is it's from the private sector crappy -- doesn't it's fine for him. He doesn't EE. Even he doesn't care as much about what sector he does the -- -- I just can't believe that he really how how could we think. And hiring more bureaucrats. More pencil pushers and more papers show forces is good for the com. My kids know. -- --
