In and Bob Schieffer perhaps from face face the nation and CBS's. Well I don't know what it says about our country well again the money was how the money was never a problem in politics. When Barack Obama was a fund raising John McCain was a problem. It it may have been a problem earlier when Republicans are outraged Democrats when Democrats out raised Republicans it is it's like drones. Bush bush used drones it was genocide. Cole bombing has killed four times as many people as George Bush with drones and retiree heroic wartime president. And by the waited to see the New York Times is issued -- it will wrote a story saying they didn't get the leaks on the on the idea. The president's kill list in the stock -- Internet virus all these other stories. They didn't get them for or how and we'd be infiltrated al-Qaeda in the in in the Arabian Peninsula. They didn't get all these stories from the White House they announced that I had never seen any I never seen anything like this that in -- newspaper announcing. Where they didn't get their information for a you know usually people ask what your sources and work for newspaper you say I am -- don't want to reveal my source it's it's bad. It's bad business if you're -- your source -- we're gonna get a you know we're gonna give anyone else to talk to off the record you know.

What a joke at this point but he beat -- your next with how we cargo ahead veto. -- -- wanna I -- apologize. Get a bag connection or haven't -- much normal at all you. Are -- How we. I see the dark clouds it look behind me to vote to the south. Go ahead. They're great speaker Bob Hewitt -- -- you know he's pushed stimulus package. Yeah. Obama knows like what did so it's up. Well I think guy is John McCain says you know being unfair to compare to a drunken sailor in notes -- being feared rockets. At least at least drunken sailors earn their money that is just printing them. But he's bad and all our money. So. I'm just. Yeah you just -- -- and just be sure to go like it out and vote 1877469432218774694322. You know I speak of Quincy that's where that the state treasurer of the former state treasurer Tim Cahill as prominent lawyers were in court -- -- but -- The date for the final. Pretrial motions and hearings let stuff and a lot of your on the radio you know. Tim Cahill is accused of like using a lottery money to buy ads that aided his gubernatorial campaign in two -- He did he he got 8% of the vote how much -- save hip.

Young could look in sheer excitement to gulf -- pharmacological. Or what's looked. Not then but I think we're of the Republican and that's why -- go out there are there Republican it's now. What -- -- -- the C old dog had to say a big contributor to lie to Barack Obama he's maxed out for the year personally and I heard it on some fund I heard that that the Duncan -- executives at road to big fund -- -- Yeah yeah when I -- that kept it can't shake so quickly that's what I want -- cynic I would like. Elaborate at all smaller sludge -- I felt the Akaka it was BAT's. But it was well. He would probably you know electrical box but he thought that about fifteen is really pretty little girl -- I so regret is that. Good for telltale I would GA -- should get back of the business legacy I don't know way he has gone back to I don't know why you were quickly and treasurer I -- I told me was insane and I think is probably white -- same thing it probably it's -- But he just wanted to -- -- could not run for governor and I win as an independent even on the one of -- about it before thanks for call Kevin. -- Tim Cahill leaving his restaurant was called by a little cafe was called handshakes and -- they used to always says the -- his political -- used to say it was called fisticuffs because there were fights and it. He -- -- are -- Yi said to me united and peppered the liberty fights Mike likes but it still preclinical place. But -- called the was known as handshakes missed the cops I think Joseph your next we're following cargo ahead Joseph. It's Obama spoke as bizarre -- world.

His remarks Friday afternoon it's absolutely clear the economy is not doing fine the president said while sitting alongside Philippines president. Been Enola -- in the Oval Office that's the reason I had a press conference that's -- yesterday the day before yesterday this past week this past month. In this past year talking about it.

He -- that's why don't wanna listen to what this morning was an interest that I -- I've heard of talked before he just blames other people. Let's see. The economy is not doing finder are too many people out of work the housing market is still weak too many homes underwater and that's precisely why I asked congress. To pay to start taking some steps that can make a difference -- break giving some more money the public sector unions. Decrying the quote unquote political games that in his view necessitated. The further along a -- action -- hallucination. It's quite award for -- And wire story the president said quote if you look at what I said this morning what he specifically addressed was that we've actually. Seen some good momentum in the private sector. That has not been the biggest drag on the economy. That is not in that the private sector is not the biggest on the economy all soul I mean you know relative. Small number of people in the public sector have been laid off by state the county. Municipal federal government's. Hundreds of thousands and millions have been laid off in the private sector millions. -- more millions of stop looking for work and more millions have gone on disability. Weren't food stamps. But that's not a drag on the economy. What this just doesn't so why did he say why did he say that the economy was doing fine if it's not doing -- -- -- You can we get that quote too we get that -- cut to we have is cut let's play the cuts back to back. 1877469.

Homes underwater. For you confused. I'm perplexed. The private sector is doing fine I'm baffled. Is the economy going finally and knowing fine. I believe Barack Obama and the Bible Barack Obama in the. 919 Obama told himself to walked back his own comments. Did he also tell himself he's dead like mayor Cory Booker.

Do we YouTube video and put the YouTube video out after it was on a -- Meet the Press. But tigers go to New York Post or average of the first few graph by beltway for Cory Booker Newark's mayor who was gunning for a spot in Obama's cabinet. Lost his GM lost the chance at three shut his mouth off during a blog to really honest TV appearances last month sources told the post. He's dead two watts. He's dead to us he told true and he is dead to them. One ranking administration official said of the prevailing feeling at the White House and Obama headquarters in Chicago he's dead to us. That the text is right is Obama now dead to himself. Middle by Obama head to head to make it more -- going abject retraction deny anything Cory Booker dead. The private sector is doing fine. It is.
