The grandmothers with a big sisters when the little sisters and we are the daughters. You know what those late night phone calls for the elderly parent like the long weekend drives just see how they do. You know the fastest route to the local emergency room in which doctors actually answered the phone call when you call -- -- by the way I know all about that. You know you like cinematic graduation ceremony and wonder how was that so many long days in the years that went by so quickly. Are the best. Of America. Good morning tell you Wednesday morning. It does look back I. Apparently Enron election. And why not like Enron and we do Shuster Rebecca last night she looked absolutely. Gorgeous amazing -- it's at least 65 and look that good Botox dating. -- really shocks in the face yes of stock -- regulating materials that go away in a few days there's -- woman on HDTV. That there isn't a big believer in the Botox well boy it sure worked for her she looked amazed that -- work. Absolutely -- dazzle. And -- -- good speech as well I'd like an experienced a lot of experienced people can't give a speech that well. Now she did a great job I mean I put the -- a little bit -- I like him Ronnie better when she's just talking off the -- I've seen her mingle in a crowd. And she sold naturally she doesn't have to read -- -- like anybody that sounds much more natural when she's one on one look and you and -- Well that's sure our -- but the challenges Saddam how do you get your humanity to come through you on your reading off a teleprompter I thought she did a good job with that. Chris Christie also is a better extemporaneous speaker but he's great with the teleprompter while he was great last night I thought. Chris Christie is always great idea right you know I wish he was the candidate because I think that he could have really motivated people. To stand up and fight backing and stop accepting -- lies that have been told. To us. Especially about the economy I thought his speech was riveting and I think a lot of people relate to Chris Christie you know we have the Sicilian mother who is the enforcer I loved him tell the story. The Irish data mean not many of us didn't I grew up just like that. A lot of people dead -- you have a Sicilian. It was the other way around my Sicilian father I had -- Sicilian grandmother is on both Qaeda. So there was there was an interesting household in the -- does stuff. All of the real life I mean the idea you know that they've made the Romney's new cliche. And is a mistake or it's dangerous when you. Misrepresent things to people by your opponents because then when they tell the truth it looks bad for you then you deceive people. I so embarrassed I really didn't hadn't have any idea. That Mitt Romney and Romney had started out like that. So many of us have but the dumb B apartment. With the door for -- the ironing board for the dining room table. I mean it is kind of like my first department in the north and which was literally condemned they could still pay a guy. 500 -- -- it to him at his and got a little left to get to live there and it -- -- dump I mean I'd -- and had a I had to sink in the kitchens due to pressure teeth in the kitchen that was the only -- human that was the only thing that bathroom is one of those stand up shall assaults they could only. Take a shower for two to three minutes or an overflow into the apartment below that -- -- And any. They've definitely literally the pathway from the kitchen to do one run had a toilet in the state of -- Well -- Wheeler is -- I'm both still in college. There are many reasons to delay marriage and you know what we just didn't care. We got married and moved into our basement apartment. -- you ever suspect that. It's hard to imagine now we Albion worth a quarter billion -- -- is. Hard to imagine that's why it was great having her lay out real life she was saying. You know that people think we've had a storybook marriage does a storybook marriage include breast cancer does include MS does include five boys screaming all you -- all yeah I mean life is hard -- basically her point I think was. Life sucks then you die even if you have a lot of money. And I think did she say in. It was interesting to me because you know you and I read a lot and I really thought I knew a lot about Mitt Romney and how we came up and -- Honestly had a zero idea that there weren't any sort of hardscrabble struggles like the ones that she described last night it was instinct. Do you -- your door to door. I mean this kind of like a traveling salesman practically. He was selling religion door to door he went to Europe then new went door to door selling religion and what an amazing thing to them. When she talked about how she was in episcopalian. And he was a Mormon you know -- and I bet that was a huge deal and I -- her parents. Who you know that the coal miner that she talked about yup I was Cerf father grandfather figured that was Saturday at her dad was an immigrant who did well for himself. Build the business when did you think of the little overkill line we built this. No I don't think they can mention that enough I love when she did that 500 she did a tour -- -- hello little bit overkill on that to take. No I think that should they should be hitting that constantly. I think that's the biggest thing they have -- Obama right now is that reveals his son he is anti American. Philosophy. So I like them hitting it. I think that it's working it's definitely hitting a note it's working but it was just a little too much. It's like drumming it and it became a monster while I want our -- a slogan I didn't watch the thing in real time I watch it this morning I got up to one. An article I got up at four and watched it and. -- you -- yeah borrow so you were in a tight schedule the Smart so I just saw the speech is I didn't see was our other packaging of blue was last night the we'd built this day Colorado I Lanka. All night yeah I didn't get to see. Much else about it. So I -- speeches are just. -- -- very well I think with Chris Christie and Romney. And I it when he came on -- the -- that that nice little test. Yeah I was moving I thought you were me I'd like when they shot they showed people crying out in the audience what do you think he had a better kiss. Tipper and Al Gore. While many Enron in Dallas the grossest kiss in history to rally orator -- put a figure was cozy digging it's only practiced -- There where you could tell that there were practicing it under duress -- like there was just so abundantly clear that they despise one another. And now of course -- a blessed five LA. But it was so abundantly clear that they hated one another so -- a little more hand. -- -- -- -- Hours that started with that first job I was there and when he had a small group of friends talking about starting a new company. I was there when they struggled and wonder if the whole idea what just wasn't gonna work. Mixed reaction. Was to work harder and press time. Today backed companies become another great American success story. Hasn't made those who started the company successful. -- we made them successful beyond their dreams yes it has. It allowed us to give our sons chance -- good educations and made all those long hours of book reports of homer with every minute. It's given us that deep satisfaction of being able to help others in ways that we could never imagined this is important. I want you to hear when I'm gonna say. Mitt doesn't like to talk about how he's helped others because he sees it as a privilege. Not a political talking points. How good side. Turning him in new human being set or cliche rich -- -- did you know that the John and Abigail Adams full scholarship for the underprivileged I don't. I got -- I knew -- done some kind of scholarship and I heard that by the you know hearing -- stated clearly like that by her and I -- a lot away. I think it did I think did she actually fulfill the goal and you know that the goal was to humanize met. And make him look less robotic and they weren't gonna do it by talking nonsense about buying a -- to Costco we both agree. It wasn't going to be the phony barn jacket and other pick up truck it was going to be hearing from me in about this struggles. And to say this is what -- his Donnie doesn't like to talk about it he doesn't want to pat himself on the back. But this is what he is really done for the people of Massachusetts and this is what he's done for a lot of people in this country. Do we send our children not in the world with the advice. Try to do okay. Yeah. I. And let's be honest if the last four years had been more successful do we really think there would be this attack and Mitt Romney's success. It and of course not. That's a really important point. You know let's go to bed if the times were not miserable. Would they be attacking Mitt Romney for being successful. I love that point. Because this is all. It's all just divide and -- it's all smokescreen it's all. Did you know every incoming early Obama campaign is just so ugly. That's why it was good to seven uplifting night. And Romney is very positive Chris Christie was positive he talked about how -- to strive for respect -- to tell the truth to people. We have to do live with a on her end in in deserve the things that we have IA I'd love them both. And our senior is a not so selfish they would they wanna snack to waive their grandchildren's futures I mean I just think that everything -- said the so truthful. And on the market was like a modern day John Adams where it wasn't an appointment punches. Let's find out very -- -- just give us call 617. 2666868. Did you watch any convention last night if so give us a response and Romney and what grade would you give Enron Michelle. I give in Romney at B plus -- plus I'll go and he minus. She looked spectacular she gets to the big bucks plus plus plus plus. I mean appearance -- plus plus I also thought it was very classy dignified that she didn't take any swipes at the First Lady because she is such an easy target. Michelle Obama. That if me and Ronnie had gone there like I can promise you that our family doesn't need to going sixteen lavish vacations at the taxpayers paid for. But she could so easily. Made little swipes at the First Lady but it was in classic in -- style very dignified of her not to. You know what it if I hadn't thought about that but I think the things she did. That showed up Enron I showed up Michelle Obama the most was not mentioning her because actually the contrast. Between that clear. Passion. For the country and for the American dream that achieved portrayed contrast all by itself to Michelle. I completely agree and I think they would have been it would have been almost too easy for her. To try to compare herself to Michelle Obama or their relationship. You know because he's people who worked aren't they paid their only -- college -- at the free ride the Michelle and Obama got. And they. Worked hard and -- just as hard as he Obama so this. Back story I think is important that story is always important it was important for. Our US senator. Step back story I think is what makes people connect to a candidate 617266. Exceeds 60 Bob good morning here on our -- good morning Bob bought. Good morning. We got that we we actually did the hope that my ball fairly actually watched for a little bit problem. I'd Archie I thought in Romney did great but I think who was also equally as effective -- Nikki -- -- Sheikh -- She was a little principal. I only watched her for a minute -- what was the theme of her speech. I basically. She gave the story about her parents who were in an Indian immigrants and that they built. Up business in their living room. And she looked right into the camera and she said. Mr. President I want you to know that my parents built this and that that play Smart not. I love the built this stuff I -- Michelle thinks it's overdone but I just love it. Hit him over the head with that. Exactly exactly. The gate -- it's. Doing what stories Bob would you agree likely Nikki Haley told the story of her parents starting that business in the living -- that's what resonates not just the -- Indian. Whacking it hit you over the head with a slogan over and over again. They love the fact that only in America. We could be as successful as we wanted to be and nothing would CNN our way. -- parents started a business out a living room of her home and thirty plus years later it was a multimillion dollar company. But there like Hernandez a single day that it was easy. And there wasn't a single day that my mom and dad didn't put everything they had into making that business. So President Obama. With all due respect don't tell me that my parents didn't build their business and yeah they did. See now that's the way to deliver the message I don't wanna just be whacked with a slogan over and over and over again give me a story. Leave what do you think you're on the Feinberg and -- show welcome. -- -- I stole a lot of it has -- good -- Kelly -- Did pretty good cheap broaden a summary from New Hampshire. After it proved his point -- he built it. There was -- Jack you'll look at us we've had a month or show he's a great guest Danny had a very good read story about how his dad started the business and -- -- on -- carrying an on the hand. He's had to make some tough decisions that keeps that town -- life. But I guess I just -- -- on fox and they split away from sort -- it chase it around a little bit let out. You know I -- all coats -- -- -- culture where they kept coming back there at Jenna can't aren't looking at the camera. Coaching in terms of how to deliver speeches you know and of of course it's so big even for people like Enron. She has likely never spoken in in a form that large with Yemeni people watching to big moment everybody gets coached. I you know I'm I'm very really nervous now another sign good news -- a five when I did WCVB on the team five investigates every I look like a deer in headlights have you not used to. Television. You get that's why died. Look no matter what and I think that's what we was just talking about. So it. 61726668. Succeeds Susan good morning. Good morning wearing -- Doing well thanks for the call. So I -- last -- it was just -- what I do is that a lot this 7 PM straight through until after there had Chris Christie. You know speak and but the thing that I observed the most I can try and released just stunning I thought Chris Christie was just perfect. Rick Santorum I thought -- the house down he was good wasn't he was just great. And no one thing that I I took away from last night not that I didn't realize that but. You know win -- Boehner came -- everything I I thought to myself you know lot. It's so different now than they used to be. Aren't they you know they Arlen Specter of all of those people that just not very -- all the new basically quote -- Everybody who is -- we the people. And it -- just I just cried I just felt so much pride and I just felt like yeah we're gonna get bit. Susan I love how inspiring do you war I -- that I am now either Chris Christie was inspiring it makes you wanna stand up and cheer like yap. What do you think five -- next on -- imagery. -- -- I'm Bob doing well -- yeah I watch it basically from nine to you know 11:30 AM. Dot and Romney was great I thought they risky course is great -- conservative and I try to watch it from. I felt that if they were talking to me you -- I I relate everything was saying but I try to watch it added if I was an independent voter and I think the people who would have affected me the most where deftly Nikki Haley won I think she debt was. As a governor her hardest that they either what makes -- job the hardest is basically fighting this administration. She got -- secure excellent how she got sued -- I'm not on voter registration. And illegal aliens illegal immigration. She talked about ball which a lot of people who probably don't all -- political junkies. Don't know the story at all how they -- to keep falling out -- South Carolina. Now and I think one or the other Greg great speakers like -- our jobs than we actually spoke at the Democrat convention. You know praising Obama admitted that he got caught up in the hope and change. And that he was -- You sort of oratory his -- archer Davis the former Carter. Not the -- yet it was like I was -- you know I'd seen the light oddly apologized. TD great. You know buried almost like he was a preacher. Ed it was it was -- so. Very powerful stuff he's the head switcher the Democrats who switch sides. And are now supporting Mitt Romney a -- -- bill weld all highway bill will look the other way or -- Specter. 6172666868.
