Gen. David Petraeus as Mitt Romney's Vice President?

Right now all of the tarmac. Is starting to Mitt Romney -- vice presidential pick. Here are so many things been entered about right now this topic -- heated up because even in the report. Said that Ronnie was thinking about. Picking General David Petraeus. Now that would be brilliant and this is but the Drudge Report is reporting. President Obama. Whispered to a top fundraisers this week that he believes the Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney wants to name General David Petraeus. To the -- presidential. -- the president what did you gain the insider explains to the Drudge Report. -- drama has been quietly building behind the scenes. Ronnie his believed to a secretly met with the four star general in New Hampshire. And be true and I completely agree with this assertion across party Paul. This be Obama's absolute worst. Nightmare. I've met on May reach across yeah -- Am appalled. General Petraeus. The Obama administration has already hailed Petraeus as one of history's greatest military strategists. He was unanimously confirmed. As the director of the CIA by the US senator and that's nine people to zero. Betrayed his categorically. Asserted he has zero political ambitions and -- -- just. Love the guy why I -- the big mouth like item. He speaks his mind he has no filter. Somebody asked the question he answers it honestly. That's not exactly tree that is embraced by politicians most of the time when you while I agree. Our team Obama stands prepared. To tie Petraeus two bush wars. He's a serious man. Has seriously dangerous times. Is what one top Republican said I've David Petraeus. So you think could just a brilliant move 6172666868. That's 617. 2666868. I mean honestly. Be Obama's worst nightmare. If -- -- Mitt Romney pulled someone right out of his camp and you know they're Petraeus he and Obama have had issues if you well. That tearing General Petraeus is senate confirmation. One Democrat. Tried to out of -- him. Do you -- Petraeus said diplomatically. Expressed some disagreement he was having but for rock Obama's pullout plan. And he publicly. I think called Vice President Biden an -- He spoke his time he trusted reporter which is a bad idea if he didn't know the reporter and that reporter burger. It should have been off the -- being enter in a bar around. But instead it became fodder. For -- Rolling Stone piece -- we -- memorably put on stone. And Petraeus. Has some negative things to say about Barack Obama. And during the senate confirmation hearing. He's a minute. You disagree. With president Barack Obama quite a bit Dario. But Petraeus gave it right back to camp in Lebanon said I am not a quitter. I am not a quitter. He needs -- you know what I feel quite strongly about this and this is Petraeus during his senate confirmation hearing our troops don't get to quit. And I don't think they're kind -- should contemplate that again at any sort of I don't kind of action. So this would be more ads that's and does the VP pick would you agree. 6172666868. A chorus. We've heard -- Condoleezza right rumors we've heard about Pawlenty. In the Obama camp is probably it's really afraid of Marco Rubio because listen to what they did today. They want this pretty and did strike. Attempting to -- and dirt on ruby. They asked Floridians. Ready for this actually walker director of Obama for America and Florida. Blasted out this email Tuesday soliciting unflattering information on ruby. She really think the rest of the country should know about it rubio has really done in Florida the good the bad. And the ugly in why he. So are people who are making the Obama campaign camp a little nervous. General Petraeus I think should be at the top of that list. Marco Rubio as a close second. Especially where Obama today was forced to agree with rubio. On his legislation filed last week that suggests Olympian should have to pay taxes on the metals other honorary -- that they -- right now and Monday. So what do you think let's go to frank I frank welcome. It's great this great topic I'd been agonizing over the vice presidential -- I gotta tell. My personal favorite as Chris Christie. My personal -- is Chris Christie is well at the -- would be a good choice because they think. Honestly the general as president happy as a bribe me you -- country can be saved his -- one -- said in his company's president would you agree. I totally agree that that Petraeus to -- in actual the only drawback to Chris Christie and some minor drop. It what's good about unity connects with people okay he connects with the regular all right -- wrong at all. But by kicking him and might demonstrate that Romney does that well in -- of course to keep -- to connect with the regular vote. I can agree upset at all on about Chris Christie would. Never is in dire problem is that he he -- that he can act any rank those photos that emerged of him yesterday grocery shopping. -- -- -- -- It secrets Christina bodega felon has -- -- -- No question but it should just be insults. The trouble going to try to -- somebody direction not know he's a rich guy. So be rich -- -- -- moment was hugely successful I mean. She read Harry Reid just living the Ritz and continue to say look at this rich guy is so disingenuous. If all right -- states. That was such a dirty shot imagine in saint that the Chris Christie and I know what first Christians we actually that would have been. I yeah I think it's easy to throw stones from the Ritz Carlton. That. How much of the time you had to buy a gallon of milk do not much of large pizza costs I know I don't. Right. Now Chris is about is that -- you know frank Chris -- came to town quite a bit to campaign on behalf of Charlie Baker. He Paris he's funny he self deprecating he's all of the things that we are missing in politics right now he's not out Romania. And he's not afraid to speak -- -- and I think I could. I totally agree I hope -- doubt that I really really hope that I'm looking forward to imagine that the agent to be like a to be optional. Exactly I'd love -- you frank because he would be because someone from the Obama camp. Right. Is think back on to the John McCain campaign in know how critical it will be ton. Kelly eight is on the short list is not kind of speculation out there that she wasn't invited to speak at the convention. So she's gonna be on the bus. Her stock continue to rise. In the deep stakes. The Herald reported today. They're rooting for her to join Mitt Romney as the VP pick who got picked. Let's go to time hi Tom welcome. Delighted to get me. Don't do much reports there was gonna be Condoleezza -- we can go -- I don't know -- kitchen to make up their mind. Why do you eat sleep in the stuff to the Drudge Report I would argue is probably Romney's own can't just sort of gauge reaction. Maybe -- you know the -- thing that caught floaters you've put kinda -- To someone in the privacy -- US. The president writes historian and you kind of wait -- to reaction -- that's art. And I'm a problem and Obama and I would like to see Chris Christie the only problem -- seeking exit in the bodega. You know and he looks like a circus that locked in so -- My time -- not gonna be don't know this basic. Why did I needed because he got big guy he's not be an alleged. Yes that's true -- -- the struggle but I think you have your predecessor jumps at the same thing. You know people don't want to protect us about and I don't think the public ready for a general. The vita vice president United States the last time we let that rule was -- height and and it worked out very well. And such use it to expand and spent our infrastructure our. Atomic Eminem's gonna take umbrage at what -- at about Chris Christie all we hear about this country is bought out half the people of fat. Have even his country Arab east everybody wants to eat themselves to death we have Chris Christie here I was just himself he's a guy who likes to kick back. As you said in Melrose at an event I was I was there. He -- I like to kick back and a six back. In Portugal lawmakers -- security my pizza and drink my dear anti passes Billy and he meant it. What I without Tom. I know he really speaks for himself he really -- so that when it also -- teaching him the job is seeking speak yourself. The incidence that's knowing now what you -- on the pick and you know that we're really struggling just. I disagree and that's exactly what I want them -- -- -- -- -- being wishy washy about it -- not something. Well it may be achieved many people like that but most of the voters don't want somebody good. If you don't you also somebody you know. -- -- in Poland the lead a staff member yeah -- below the don't want people like that we want people to get along and the problem is that you know I don't know what -- -- -- gonna do because he's Bob climbed in the Electoral College now -- Yeah I know that's what I got from this morning you he was one point behind. No no no that's typical. Remember I remember Al Gore won that didn't really Electoral College -- -- that right now. Barack Obama -- the electoral college and the other guy is roundup -- about succeed. Votes in the Electoral College yes almost every. Despite undecided states -- it's. I mean he really a lot of trouble in the country and BBB Republicans keep trying to come up with these people -- antagonistic. Who are not likable as Mitt Romney. It's like a bullet -- so far down that that's and other future nobody been elected at that level in the past. IRA completely agree your time thanks for the club attic and the rear -- Looking at my friend as a make up artist and she got to work with Chris Christine she's okay I think you're -- but he is fierce. It is the country needs now a little ferocity. Just be a great peck but what about General Petraeus what about Kelly. This is the hottest topic of conversation in politics right now who will be the veep who's gonna win the veep stakes. -- -- -- -- -- -- Well I agree with fewer Luxembourg electorate Chris Christie are. Or. Rubio because I love the web based stand up to depressed they're articulate that they don't they can make four and I -- Did standup to the press to not sound like that guy from the Romney camp. Who told reporters accuses asked last week in Poland. While deputies you know trying to offer up something maybe you know in person are you of something sweet. That are there -- have been exposed to but but you know it's something. The took a plot elements is that maybe 8% of Romney's trip to Poland was what was very successful but 85%. Of the press reports was negative because. You know it's not always what this story is they showed you bella and the. I mean don't know that better than I do everything you know it's a branding everything has a brain and how do you want the -- ago. And -- that have been made as you know has portray Romney as not a nice guy but it's a lot of crap by being you know they've been paid to get paid big picture of -- the support sort of but a -- honest decent man doesn't that they had this game look bottom. Who has excelled at everything he's done a good family man and a wonderful book by cures for cancer remember that I mean an end. Any economy as a picture of dignity they really should be using her more on the campaign trail. Well you know what they're gonna gonna complain about what churches where it's a bit Robby has more executive experience and his little thing given Barack Obama presidential -- And I did you aren't they thank you so much for the column but you what do you think about this idea folks at the -- these names are being bantered about. The Obama campaign is afraid of Marco Rubio as I mentioned. Ashley Walker the director of Obama for America and Florida. Blasted out an email today soliciting the good the bad and the ugly and why he'd be disaster. As our next president. She starts email -- share what you think. The rest of the country should know about what rubio has really done in Florida. So I think this offer. Marks in new fees in the Obama campaign they want to undermine. Romney's highly anticipated selection of a running -- this but they wanna do. Everybody's swing the year with a writing me is going to be and they are immediately. Getting to work trying to undermine. That -- Obama himself is floating stories that general betray us. Is on the shortlist. Which could be absolute nightmare. President Barack Obama if Mitt Romney picks someone from his own camp. Somebody who's well respected somebody was confirmed as the director of the CIA 94 to zero. And -- and it. Somebody who it is has been praised by Obama himself as one of the hour. History's best military strategists. And now you know there are afraid of Marco Rubio. Rubio is getting on the bus. And you start -- about right now getting on the bus and who's speaking at the convention because the people who are getting on the bus with Mitt Romney. Are the ones that are being tied. As his top -- Did you Eric is the speculation. About Wisconsin rep Paul Ryan boring. Former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty boring. Chris Christie -- -- Kelly AI another good tech. Louisiana governor Bobby -- dollar another grape -- Now does Petraeus rumor that -- -- -- white -- thing died as quickly as it erupted Christian and everybody was -- about Condoleezza Rice and you never aired another word about it. Which proves to me that my theory and that is tracked. That Romney's camp is floating these ideas planting them in the Drudge Report and trying to get some sort of reaction what do you think who are the people. Any enemies be absolutely -- it's like Tom called and said that Chris Christie's too fat. To be elected. President half the late. To a guy like Chris Christie he's fierce he's honest he's self deprecating. He's a good guy he has not what's that I mean -- really and we talk about that. And really studies too fat oh fat headed -- take a fact I feel that somebody with a massive ego wouldn't you know. Hi Dave welcome. Yes I am I -- I. -- -- I was wondering about -- a little read it don't whatever happened to her name is talked about a while back woman actually that that the TSA did the money. Very interesting one point. She was pretty interesting I think she's one of the speakers at the convention and so it's presumed that whoever's on the convention speakers' list at this point is no longer being considered for Mitt Romney's ticket. Say so it's known that she is pretty much out of that running out that you would be really worthwhile mature large -- elect. But I think Chris Christie could be a problem because it's but -- the only battle thanks -- people love it. I just don't know that the success strategy what currency doesn't -- -- -- that. I think it plays into the Obama and by claiming everybody's you know angry white people. I don't think that's a great. Candidate and Chris Christie is that -- it's back he doesn't come off as like you know full of -- -- -- -- comes to the -- Do you and that's that's like a common sense argument that Chris Christie is portraying in. I don't seem most people have a problem that went -- -- -- -- Thank you. Thank you very much average seventy we are AMC TW RKO. So no Romney bush Jeb Bush apparently is off the list. There VP short list is getting even shorter. The -- of convention speakers sparking all kinds of speculation who would you like to see as a VP pick and jumped me. Welcome back -- benefits on the theme we are stand six CD WRKO. So the short list. A potential Mitt Romney running -- it's getting initial order. Because we have confirmed another crop of convention speakers which for some reason. This is timing is typically reserved for politicians not in contention. For the number two slot. So. Former Florida governor Jeb Bush. GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum. Both now convention speakers. Which. Stand. Off the short list. So some vice president of speculation had surrounded Jeb Bush that made absolutely no sense to me can you see bush Romney. I mean that ticket just that Artest or alone with sanction is outlawed people's minds -- and we all know that's true of the elected. So Santorum. Has accepted an invitation to speak. We have Oklahoma governor Mary Fallon Kentucky's senator -- well we'll also speak that tick now off the list. Other major speakers are South Carolina governor and sneaky -- New Mexico. Governor Susanna Martinez. Florida governor Rick Scott. He and Condoleezza. Rice the former secretary of state she was my favorite. Next to Chris Christie. Arizona Senator John McCain nobody had him on a short list Mike Huckabee anti Huckabee Romney mex and now. In the Ohio governor. So visit -- botched war. And so far the listen people who are going to be on the Mitt Romney bus tour. The plan for a stronger middle class bus tour which begins Saturday in Virginia. It starts Sunday North Carolina money in Florida -- in Ohio on the -- Paul Ryan Tim Pawlenty Chris Christie's on the that's true. New Hampshire senator Kelly hey Jack and Bobby -- Derek what do you think about folks on the bus on the shortlist. -- Garb right ahead. And on the circuit agreed and -- on the bots and that means they're still in contention for geeky but I I got it that it slate here I hear you today but I do you have a pretty strong opinion that figure I think the BP jury should be. Let's hear it and and not that person Marco Rubio and herself or reason but not. Not the least of which is the -- that Florida the key swing state I think he guaranteed that for a victory Romney right now trailing by a few points there and that that's a critical state but. Really got along member I'd and I think he ever gotten the Latin -- right and there's no. Getting around that the Latin dates in America kind of become one of the most if not he most influential voting bloc and the next morning you're thirty years straight. But it what you do it you have MB you're right president is start to making -- yield -- Latin voters in America that -- conservatism is actually a lot more closely aligned your. Feelings that in the Democratic Party and really start to kind of you know persuade folks to come over and to take a look at conservatism and Republicans in general I think -- those folks may sign that there are a lot of commonality. Well I don't you might be something Derek -- I don't know if you heard this part of the show but the Obama campaign actually launch a preemptive strike against rubio in Florida today. -- -- -- -- do you think the rest of the country should -- rubio in what he's really Clark good to bad the ugly why he'd be disaster. As an -- vice president. I mean -- I don't know about you but I agree that they're a little afraid to rubio especially. When rubio. Was the when he came out with this. Fantastic piece of legislation. That would -- Out that taxes it olympians now have to pay on the honoraria and they went in mind and Ian even protects in the bronze at the goal in the metal itself. Yeah I think -- taken some high profile opposition that are very favorable adjustment -- all in -- I think everybody. To Republican or Democrat support -- -- -- you know -- it's actually. Would be would be appropriate there -- But really I think been a key piece for eight years you're out there -- -- get a couple of terms here. He's able to start to cultivate that -- and that I think accurate -- gosh you have an opportunity to be on president which I think most people argue he should be president at some point. Operative for the following eight years that active units sixteen year struggle to really build the mechanics behind. You know starting to build relationships and so that into the Latin American community in America and really persuaded -- -- that. Conservatism it's just generally more lines at their values in general and for the Democratic Party I think that's really going to be important for just. Preserving conservatism in the country in general. Well thank you very much Derrek and that and conservative of them and I'm hoping that your primarily discussing. Fiscal conservatism because they think at this stage in the game what -- is the most is not social issues but I didn't change anyhow. What matters the most is getting the company -- the country. Back on line with shots that we don't make teen USA uniforms in China there we don't make everything in China that we stopped. This instead -- Building. You know yes they went to the Boston Tea Party museum -- tallying and the rest of the crew attacked by amber hanging on to be joining him in the morning starting August when he first. But the tour frankly with what I met the guy from Gloucester. The pressure. I'm sorry that should build from Gloucester who actually me. That replica beaver he prayed need to replica -- -- he's working on the third -- -- with three ships that were involved in Boston Tea Party. It was me right here in Gloucester and all the best part of the -- for -- it was -- -- And -- we need to have more. You know John Kerry -- senator from Massachusetts had his seven million dollar yacht killed in new zeal. Well Lisa Boston Tea Party museum music I Gloucester. To -- the replicas of the ships used in their founding a freedom right here in this country Chris what do you think who should be the VP pick you are on Michelle McAfee show. I'm Michelle and I would really like because of the situation and then we'll have a bad situation unionized physical blow job they're not bad. I think corporate jobs going overseas. But I would think Colin Powell because -- -- I think expertise with what's going on in -- at least attempt to -- going to be a big problem though. The I would have liked to have seen him you know I'm -- -- -- my opinion -- -- -- that that the -- the Fort -- said. I am I agree with a lot of -- points -- I would have liked what he called empowerment and I know a lot of people would disillusioned with the because. He admitted that he had voted for Panama I don't think he would be glad you know somebody. I don't I mean we have to do was ask colonel hunt. Our friends. From the Howie Carr show to ever forget you voted for Barack Obama and colonel I didn't and terrorized by our elected any president would get that -- I voted for Obama. Well I don't and I look at that that's that's why we have happens -- can pick and choose who we want to. You know -- I think he made the mistake and I think you know that Leno with water under the bridge back. I think I would like to -- -- -- I didn't make an argument why not just Condoleezza Rice who is much aren't just coming to the genius quite literally she's -- -- I mean she's a genius she's a music talent she is a class act. My -- she's going to be about yes I agree that that's because of what you said that she's going to be one of the speakers that I kind of issue -- -- -- contentions that. Definitely have a why I mentioned Colin Powell is a bit overlooked Condoleezza Rice which I think I would've been great choice that. I I think that Colin Powell would have been a good you know -- hit a black man in and I think of the bat. You know you don't with a figure out implemented in between them did battle for Obama may be you know give them little choice and maybe you could want some of those independents -- about. I think because of the expertise with at least that I think he would've been good a good choice. He would you angered tries to begin to go that route General Petraeus is a much better pick and that's that's been floated right now. Can you imagine if Mitt Romney picks him from Obama's administration. To -- that BP tech -- IIQ is publicly said. I don't agree -- -- Obama a lot of times on the right throughput through our all -- would be at. There would be no that's what it sometimes you mean you know a lot of people don't know about some of the staunch conservative voters want someone -- a -- liberal but sometimes you don't get a lot of people that. Swing both ways that lack of a benefit is back. You know he contended then someone didn't do that it can't happen to bring people together and pocket that we haven't opted out now. I don't know IP address I don't and guy with a little bit guts give me a woman a lot of classic guts and you have the perfect candidate. Who is it thank you -- in the -- on the stomach Spiegel has it -- on 7266. -- it's hectic. Welcome back Fossett missing is an atomic fee we are AM 680 WRKO. President Obama call. Mitt Romney Romney would. Today. -- column Romney. Call them Romney and trial is -- -- that Jose figured by Annika at all areas he said that a Ron me. Ronnie doesn't want to he -- take from the poor it's like a reverse. Robin and you want to -- from the porn get to the rich hot. -- is serious yesterday or the average today when the Kennedys. Are looking for tax deduction. On Bobby Kennedy's paper papers he accumulated while he was the attorney general in the JFK administration. Go. To the Kennedy -- So this is why. -- -- -- -- And number two spot in the country for the Republican Party is going to be so crucial. In this guys there -- analyst speculation today the Drudge reported saying that Obama. Obama himself whispered to a top fund raiser that he believes Ronnie. Met with Petraeus. He wants to actually meet the -- is -- All of and now people say that the people who actually are being invited. On the Romney must. And -- plan for us stronger middle class bus tour that starts this weekend. Well we have Virginia governor Bob McDonnell. Ohio senator Rob Portman Kelly AE OS's. Slated to be on the bus. Chris Christie my personal favorite will be on the bus boring Paul Ryan will be on the bus. Kelly JR the senator from New Hampshire Louisiana governor Bobby agent now who I actually like a great deal now are all on the bus. So. Who do you think he's going to -- In -- General Petraeus be absolutely. Devastating. Stating. To the Obama camp 6172666868. Meanwhile Marco Rubio who is my second try to right after Chris Christie. Well the Obama campaign is trying to -- doctor unpack -- And can't must be especially galling. To the Obama campaign today. When Obama had to reluctantly agree that he too agrees with Marco Rubio who filed legislation last week that led. Make olympians exempt. From paying that horrific tackle -- -- -- and on -- honoring areas. Would take that. Steve and a moon that content that I was knots. That's advocating an Olympian shouldn't have to pay. -- attacked on the bronze. In the metal in Spain so Jane how important is his picking who do you think it should be here on image on the oh. Yes -- I do you know something national. -- don't -- -- I don't even know I just want somebody that who stands for America. Who is get a -- old who's not afraid to you know. Candles lit up when they're wrong to put them in their place. -- like John Bolton but he's at a press secretary of state. Secretary of state definitely they got to put them on the secretaries they know if the answer about the -- I'd like mark rubio. And like -- -- so I just a like -- too but I I don't know you know who to believe these days. About how you one thing Michelle but others may. The economy is is very important to this state very very important that people get back on the job and we get prospers in this country and legally able to. However aside from that. I would say that. They have beloved Israel and a love America and Israel Condoleezza Rice I need to say this humane may not agree with me and but that's right we have our own opinions. But the respect she doesn't. She her father believed in replacement theology that that -- through of the Jewish people please not according the Bible being going to be restored they've been restored but I. They gonna go to. Probably cannot Condoleezza Rice is going to be out of not that their product not that I have no matter what that means believes it's insane things I don't -- -- -- well that. True on the shelf but the point is this. She's more for the argument that Israel should pretend. I don't know Andrea I know we agreement Jane I appreciate I mean without I have facts to back it up I love avenue on the show -- -- I don't think that's necessarily true at all as a matter of fact I think that these are -- has been very strong. On all of the wars that this country. Needs including the war on -- Linda you -- next island. I I am I am a cup opinion stressed being from New Hampshire we work so hard to get Kelly elected to extend. And much of the one thing where higher -- there. I'm -- that anybody actually played. And what she's doing in the senate from New Hampshire right now. She's she's so so we Linda I think we need the opposite of sweet nice we have -- -- met -- an army we need hard charging. And hard scrabble like Chris Christie about region dollar Marco Rubio. We're right there are probably over -- DL isn't thinking wait a trial. We have we have these -- we know they're going to be in the senate we don't need so little -- Any good conservatives in the right now we need them but the next term interests -- -- things we need to be patched. Well. I really hey it's not want to be -- At that point I mean that's exactly the sorts of arguments that are being made. And the Massachusetts governor rates do we need to keep -- does -- But might it take you now I'm really good and -- out -- and let them Antony hey I'm not sure actually. Smart move. I know and I think Louisiana can live without Bobby agent does the governor. Because they usually. They have this Republican governor of the usually -- moon -- hairs in the big cities so maybe they just want animal bad manners to take over for -- agenda out. And we can get him as the VP -- even though Chris Christie is my first Marco Rubio my second. And body would be right there. -- Just call in early in the -- it actually be explained Chris Christie can't run because people. Both are back first of all that has been history has proven that theory interact with the president -- -- Offensive and I think we're doing is just like the pizza or and I -- -- is gonna completely disagree with that. Break I mean something. I was sick and tired of people being judged by the appearance how did it Chris Christie has gaps we have a big gap but he also has got to go that's it that's fine with me. He's here. That's right and now. I have. I think he would he got up and and I think he would get a good job she imagined him at a debate with Biden and -- -- explore what. He would -- the flaw with Biden. He actually like the foot by and that's not to -- anyhow because dying while his stories the anecdotes from. People who don't exist slender I think they get a little tiresome after awhile. Joseph Biden during the campaign he has why is Joseph Biden was the author of in 1994 crime bill took a lot of gang bangers. Off the streets in this country. He put a lot of money back into policing community policing heat. That decision was responsible fully referred to here as the Boston miracle. When not a single -- murder for a whole year with a miracle. Abbas hence the nickname boss -- So I back in the united hit some good ideas happened to turn your next on an atomic feature already ahead. -- Our our candidate. Are great but I'd like to ensure that the Republicans get back in -- sort of vigorous support -- -- Just Condoleezza Rice. Ask any black man and it doesn't come from state that current -- governor rod brought home who are you ask every black and street. Condoleezza Rice -- senior pastor any world leader who can't be right they will now Britain's got him in your music. It -- so. And I don't think it matters I'm so sick of the race been even interjected -- the content they ought. So who is going to be that's done it right would be good for the job because she is as a woman because she's black she's. -- I understand and I think that. Viewers should know that there's two Owens -- people. I mean I numbers bear that out John digits on the number of African Americans that voted for Obama last time. Okay it's just staggering when you consider. What little he did in Chicago to stand some of the problems in in this city in the city and Chicago people. Get murdered at lemonade stand that guy has done absolutely nothing. Didn't pass legislation like the Biden crime bill get a chance to go on it and voted present. There Hillary Clinton -- connection. And. It is not going to be standing next -- apparently because she was put on me dusty -- as speakers. For the convention. Which adds it which of course -- speculate that. If you get checked at a convention speaker. Assignment typically reserved for politicians not contention for the party's -- So now this I'm not sure appreciate it but I now realize that you set that that. -- -- -- -- -- -- Yeah I mean it's not -- isn't official policy of -- speaker you're up the last leg of that historically is did this fact has been proven out. That if you're convention speaker. You don't ordinarily get picked. For the VP slot. I had a tear -- our meters you get it. Yet she can speaking slot John I would elected seeing Condoleezza -- the. Sugar -- as well and I I'd bet Bobby there are all. Done -- their backgrounds are. I'd -- shoot that perhaps one awesome job by almost a guarantee. That would be an obvious target Obama. Bob thank you John for the Kyle. I mean you just have Smart people who would be good at the job everything have to be politically correct she did this -- speculation. That the pile on the bus. Because you know Romney has this bus tour that's beginning Saturday in Virginia stops on the North Carolina on my -- Florida Tuesday in Ohio. And so these folks on the bus. Paul Ryan. Wisconsin -- boring. Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty boring. Very excited about Chris Christie get on the bus New Hampshire senator Kelly -- on the bus. -- agent out from the Louisiana. On the bus so the are the people who are getting on the short list as they say at least according to the pundits. We haven't heard anything from the Grammy camp on who we might check. Then you add this. Dark horse if you will that Obama himself is floating according to the drug report he whispered to a top fund raiser.
