Good morning Syria. RKL showed that Phelps joins us from the Boston Geraldo. -- you know Joseph. -- Commend please job I -- here -- -- big night for you worry about with -- last night Liz Warren. And the president would. I would not I would monitoring the situation and -- -- inevitable interest and will happen in New Hampshire. When a guy that we don't know who apparently the controversy about who is paying for are the police and overtime everything. Only durable ya Jordan wanna have to pay for the twenty or thirty grand -- all the details and everything. In some anonymous donors stepped up and provided the cash is that right. We -- which I've never heard before I didn't even know you could be anonymous and that while not directly toward Obama campaign obviously he's paying. For the trip up there which that was the police would have to do -- otherwise the town couldn't. I think I know you should UN Harold who filed suit and requiring that information. Because that that should be a campaign donation. I don't mean you get out the final it was I didn't think you you have to get the information should not the file -- together information and kept it going toward the power not public to agree either way. It should be public but I never heard about before. And you know what as -- let's say like you if you want to get -- your garage. And it -- -- predicting -- where Obama signed them you'll pay for so it's not it's. It's the Poconos -- Boston Police. -- -- -- Yeah that looked like a couple of 100000 dollars for security -- I mean going to hear now. That's okay Mayor Menino is all proud of the fact that he is not built on the campaign why shouldn't we build a campaign. For coming in here and it shutting down the city and shut -- down the south then. Or nearly doubled -- some some donors and Bob -- aren't up to figure out the way -- really ingratiate themselves with the president. It's a -- -- holy site to pay the Obama campaign's own. I expect a lot of people and ought to start rushing up to it didn't do it next time in our party and invite the white out from. Or that there is something I'm ill legitimate the extent to which the presidency has become a permanent campaign machine. And right they use either whoever the president uses our plane and our Secret Service and all the free services we provide them. While they fly around the country and then the cities and towns provide free services to. To give them the police details in the united security and so he goes to a dinner and Hammer's please be stroke in the south are Abbas one of the nicest restaurants in the city. And they have to shut down the -- several streets in the south and to shut down a street sodium park his car. And. I mean that and is bad enough as it did what are you never saying it's shutting down the street let them and I hear now there. Like I saw and what The Herald sir I think it was that that there were people holding up signs saying Obama's here to party with the 1% or something like that. -- could blow it does meet somebody all the pundits said that the 1%. Are here to support Obama. And it globe reporter it was dry and we do in a cool. For their you know the poor for. Said that it was fine they're a good many signs supporting Obama apparently he's not -- thought -- But the way you want to occupy you have movement that's but. So they had a major correction but yeah I mean obviously most people here for a vote yet but. How many beauty you know that this is this significant caught for the city happen all the -- to Boston. Obama does not come here all rallied generally he rarely does -- -- These underrated and very short of the state of telling the public getting anything out of it. It's a -- campaign. Absolutely. Yeah they should pay their own way so Liz Liz Warren did an instruction where was -- a symphony hall last night there. Where were there any Indians protesting outside and I -- back. And they -- I think a lot now when they got shut out by the awards campaign. It whether. -- a -- as legitimate -- it happened aren't the only all the time we've got to know that story let's any idea. What Indians. -- no doubt about -- -- the name the you something else you want to say about that. No I just say when you go sometimes he goes and -- quite a little public portion of the trip. And then you can call that -- good trip and make -- -- warriors are sort of. Like when you have your own company. And are going to a convention for three days. And the end and you take your wife and you're right off the whole trip because you were there USA convention for ten minutes and then we'll go to the beach. And it's the same staff and and assist them. Yeah but it ain't that it -- -- millions and million dollar all the time. And it you know other kinds of -- but it it's gotta be commended -- now especially when he averaged maybe like ought to -- tiny town like earlier in New Hampshire. Obviously you know ordered 20000 dollar bill. I look at I look at the other end of it when you sit the president of the United States brazenly breaking the line laughing at you when you bring it up tone. Because he says all that's whatever one does it doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in his sense of presidential lists. Right and and the struggle along I think we're these are acts that Obama has been making on Romney. Lately is this really drives me crazy because the president had been going out for years saying are you know people are saints doubling up the stop this dial liar are you -- -- people to stop yelling at each other. When you open everything in campaign right now against Romney is way more negative and distorted. Than anything Romney has done. So are anything beginning at how well you -- have been calling. -- your corporate raider lot of close to a corporate raider and you hear it includes shipping jobs overseas to India he never ever did that. And yet if you look at this quote from yesterday you'd -- criticizing Rabin insists all the -- keep repeating the same thing it doesn't matter it's true that exactly what he's -- I like that incorporate her accusation though Mitt might be able to turn that to his advantage it's kind of like being in a navy seal isn't it. If I mean it wasn't born reporter I'd like years ago called Romney corporate raider but they're using the fact that explains. Yeah it's ridiculous so. You know new campaign assignment way to connect you know and the last time and they're just open Lee. You know wiping whatever you know -- -- -- -- -- -- doubt about into the great campaign I tried -- -- Our politics has become a freak show has a -- you know that's just how works. Yeah I mean I think it should be some. I mean I hate it how I guess you did you could end up and -- hey we're not gonna run up in a blatantly ball. I mean it it has happened -- former TV -- -- -- they're completely. You know -- -- defamatory. But I mean hey it's totally box and yet they're better on them all the time and know no one gonna say anything about them. So -- it got an outpouring you know everyone was -- about Romney remember -- and the other different. Comments are built Obama made -- edit it if that's lighter compared balls that go. That matters insurer former TV guy how -- NBC news which -- all these tapes apparently on purpose to know because they change the -- they change the whole meaning of things yeah I had an eight hour. Certain part of -- quote every you know the wholesale and dusty trial might be blown up because the piece of tape they played with the send ASCII doing a TV interview. Had I haven't added in there which changed the the impression that you got from watch in the thing. I know I know I don't you know I TV stations should be and up and beat your old -- just refused to hear stuff like -- -- on the -- -- -- apologize for it and that's and he beat. Never did that well. Policies don't do you much good when they answer the your dealer put -- out here are well when it's a repeat offender if that happens once. You can say okay they made a mistake but it's like three times the last couple months. Yeah and they technically need the money and they're gonna do anything yet MNBC it'd. Far worse than fox is as far as career average to -- on the lap and are on the right. So but they're good they're out they're trying to believe if it's there relevant again and make money -- -- they are and it turned out had they need to ask.
