    President Obama told a college graduating class "As An African American You Have To Work Twice As Hard As Anyone Else If You Want To Get By". Howie thought the President has no concept how hard it is for anybody since he has been handed everything on the affirmative action train his whole life and that being a white male is now a lot harder than being a black male.

Now we told the last night that. And Drudge was promoting. This this video that they had from 2007. And you know they were saying over the going to be game changer -- it was it was dramatic and it really put up a rocket at a satellite and you know I guess Tucker Carlson used to -- the -- right now -- the daily caller had gotten. He sent notices in the dog whistle this is that talks siren. And you know that I no right or Spartan of people all last night to come up to 9 o'clock and -- I am getting pumped I'm -- I get home -- -- -- -- -- -- didn't. I told -- make sure you did see it on her you can you can listen to what if you got the satellite radio you can listen to on one channel 150 and I think -- as. But today everybody at the must had a huge audience than it was it was kinda disappointing I mean yeah you -- we heard all this that we for most of this stuff before. Was kind of -- is via the again in the southern accent whenever -- we never hear this we he sometimes you lapses and that the fake southern accent. But he's never done it for that length of time before he was I -- camp in Hampton Virginia. And what what I found what I found amusing we put it in the intro. -- always been going around ripping in to Mitt Romney for talking about the 47%. Who -- Who rely on the government and he you know and again I don't think I think I think everyone agrees including Mitt Romney that he -- over exaggerated. The the number of people in that 47%. You may have 47% of people getting it checked but a lot of those people would would like not to be check. You know he would be the actual number of people who were happy. Two was to be just couch potatoes on the goal it's probably. The pro in -- more than fifteen or 20% what's. And then there's some in the middle that you know that that like to get a job but yeah on the other hand it's kind of comfortable -- up that. But I have to go to work every day and nobody's asked -- So but my question is you know how much. How much can. Hey can Barack Obama make a 47%. When he's talking about. The same 47%. And and basically saying that they they don't even know how to get dressed for -- dressed for work in the morning. People who are homeless veterans struggling from problematic -- brought this sort of from the war in Iraq. Children they use our posture here -- get some rare moment children need to work. They're out of Neil Armstrong loves to work on time. I'm aware of blood -- yeah. Vote -- and help -- Help you out there. How aware were right close how to act appropriately and office. Mean those that that's sounds like he's talked about the same people that the Mitt Romney was talking about been victims. Mean epic I think this. This video from 2007. And they you know even even if it isn't the game changer that the was being promoted last night. Is but it's certainly does. Take take off the table 47%. And a now. Mean what what is what's the difference CT you know he's saying that these people are -- basically a helpless and that they don't that they don't want they don't want to do -- -- they don't have the skills to succeed. And that's basically what Matt was saying to wasn't a Harry Reid calls that his negro accent. To a seven -- Harry Reid did say the only yet he only see only hasn't negro accent that he wants to believe that's what -- Reid said. Tell how -- the 47% as the number who pay no federal taxes yet but what he will what I was saying I know what I know that's what he said the 47 -- somebody was saying I can't get near that 47%. Because they're happy. With the way things are not open golf's fourth and I think -- it's a dual. A great exaggeration to say that all 47%. Who don't pay federal income taxes are happy with the way things are especially the older people want Social Security. And some people on disability people come back from military and that data that happened with this with this situation. In this point people are but you're you know this is it's not it's not a majority either. We have -- more of those -- cuts from him about about the cuts talking about the his great pal lot. The Reverend Wright and again -- you know we we knew that he had a. I'm gonna -- very special shout out. -- -- -- -- -- Put up women. Count. Many. Of that group in my life complain about. You cramp. And a great leader. Not look pretty hard to go check out crowd -- so -- everybody's. Give. An extraordinary. Welcome to my parents are Donna Jeremiah Wright there. Yeah. Where he had. I was taught not to use the idea. That these are preposition at the end of a sentence. Went to pre prep school who just like oracle moment. But wouldn't say it -- But he you know -- would you say to that is -- and I'll listen to it you know just at last night I was watching on TV in and it's you don't get a different view you need to get a different impression when you're just listening to us now rather than. The video in addition and he doesn't sound seemed sure he's a little high. Hi I would Allan has and say hi Betty just channel op. Yeah that's a good to me said the high is high and offer this that's a business and -- are angry are -- sure OK yeah. -- -- Where is the death. As -- -- -- -- yeah I know and I know he has he's trying to yeah. Beauty you know yeah caddie kind of like John Kerry right and I get me Al hunt licensing here. Do you really and I understand and it's an insult to and talked down to people violated to try to mimic them. They must not see Andy because and you know why that they keep doing it over and over again these these democratic -- and this is a democratic mentality that's not something I don't call happening too much with Republicans you know. A -- say bill well there were trying to lock down people. And I guess they -- realizes there. I think this is I think this is one of the one of the hidden advantages that that Mitt Romney has tonight. Is that can I get me hunting license here. Is. He is portraying him I don't I don't again I -- I said this does to somebody else this week that he. John Kerry is not -- is not a person who could assume the the role he's a natural actor. He's a phony but he's not an actor. He can't assume the -- of somebody else he is himself -- -- to grant that's the most ridiculous thing I ever heard will say. We'll see who's wrong on this one. Where's he at that Harvard education is paying off. 617 Obama's trying to sound -- yeah I know he is trying this absolutely that's what strikes so it in its just. I don't know I didn't -- it it's sound so companies do. Play a couple of up at a couple more as a cut about about the we don't need the air roads into the suburbs again this stuff this is that we -- versions of this before he's talked about now. Via the white the white middle class in the suburbs don't wanna pay more money for a black schools in the city of Chicago. Well you know what I should. The -- the taxpayers in Chicago we're supposed to pick up taps for the schools not the taxpayers and now will Matt. -- then go ahead. Sure that we rebuild. New Orleans and the gulf. Cut the bureaucracy. Got the red. Think about it. They're gonna walk -- that wanna you wanna -- because the broad beam me up. Occurred in a prepared remarks kicked. Not a normal. Whether it will have not -- one month right. There at all federal law when you get. Reconstruction money from the federal government problems that prevent. And Beirut trip when you get federal money you've got to give a 10% match the local government got to come up with 10%. Every ten dollars in federal government comes up -- it. Local government got to give it up. I have an effect. -- 9/11 happened in New York bit. -- They have -- lived -- terrible problem. We gathered. That is to rebuild out of don't forget that that dollar you've got to put it where -- dollars and all of the right thing to do. Recognize Andrews -- good morning. People could look at their government -- We don't expect you to come up with a -- did. The money we -- that we're not -- for you to scratch to together. Scratching go to -- the American bad. Like I'm not a normal. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- They don't let. -- I haven't been taken out. They waived all kinds -- rules for the warlords. They -- and by the way who who was the mayor of New Orleans when Katrina struck I believe that was Iranian. Ray Nagin he's he was the mayor chocolate cities and lives. He wanted to he didn't want -- have a stash that have that extra money in it are endlessly it was the governor of Louisiana. Would -- was Kathleen Blanco and she was a damn. And in the end up by the way I believe that together and the governor of Mississippi who was Haley -- at that time I think I think Mississippi got fixed up -- got fixed up for a good job -- so yeah the and they got they got a lot of money to end it just like Louisiana did and you know what. That would have been a lot better -- the -- about a lot less devastation in the in Louisiana in in in New. Orleans parish. If if the beep -- perish in the city government had actually hate and the beat Monty that they were given. Them to build up the the levees to hold back the water. But instead of using it to what to reinforced levees to hold back the flood waters they built they used -- rock. Stupid projects like. If it's in the city. That's one reason New Orleans had more problems at all by the way you don't. When a -- this when they had this up flood this this most recent flood during the Republican Convention. You know the they had they had more -- more of the levees built in the city. Guess what happen the water the water couldn't goal where normal word had been going in the past so it just it just went up -- flooded. -- and saint Bernard parish further a little bit further north. You know I mean -- it's hot it's hard to deal -- you know it's hard to deal with mother nature when mother nature wants the Mississippi or wants that -- All of this all these millions or billions of gallons of water there's only so much to do what the levees how far how far north you wanna build these levees. Workers are building the levees that's portal water's gonna go on to the on public rightly ended and what every. You get that Barack Obama with all of this I mean is this is the guy who. Who was going to was stop the rising of the steal Apple's but he he seems to be. Unclear about the you know the US army corps. Pork excuse me the Army Corps of Engineers. And their their plans to why did -- to what. Fix the levees in the in in the New Orleans area. 18774694322187. It's pandering it's it's pandering. Come on a southern accent is not get out saying so is -- mind because not only blacks speak that way. But he's putting he's putting on what he thinks is a southern black accent or his version of a southern block access. You know. There's -- sub at their southern accents there's a southern white Jackson's -- implies there's called the what was there's several different kinds of ball black and white accents in this. But he's he's trying to. He's just trying to put on the accent that he thinks his work like John Kerry can I get me on the sincere. Tony Blair did the same thing with it when he was -- prime minister of the United Kingdom understand what people on the but the fake accents. Mean what what's the what's the point I mean who. -- is it. But how many Hollywood movies to see somebody like in the first couple scenes is an accent down in -- they start forgetting about it as the is this as the movie goes on. 187746. -- Obama and rebuild the world yeah I don't think it really has I don't really think the he has rebuilt in the world. They cheer after he said nine elevenths the -- the did denies that was kind of strange in the understand that. Why does know what though the Louisiana governor hadn't approved the Fed going and help -- It's Catherine Blanco when the when when the flood waters were rising she was she she -- to while picking -- in the afternoon. And sometimes she wasn't around to take a call from brownie but the brownie was normally greater of the from the FEMA. But she she was -- she was just not around and and you know and you tell. Us. Osce and the Angel of death -- no -- Where is that he sounds and he has a real southern acts. Wearers. I mean I mean chocolate city -- the Angel of death. One of those cuts. 617 New Orleans and Boston were both below sea level the English -- Beacon Hill and bill that -- well -- that it. In all for a brides in all -- And all building the bridge just built the wall around the city. I see the Angel of death. Flying all over this city. They're being allowed to roll and have a good time. -- would you say that he is a little off. Re not and yeah I actually I think I learned. That with through. Ninth symphony they show gets more races every day. Why. We -- racist every. We're playing that we're playing the sound. Don't cuts. 18774694322. Obama seems not to understand the fact that we are broke. If we keep spending more and more money we will never get out of the hole that's been dug for us that's Greg from anfield let's take some calls here on the on the debate how do you think government is going to go. 18774694322. Bob your next with Howie -- go ahead Bob. -- -- -- I think one highlight of the ground warrant debate was when and David -- the right David Gregory should. Next step was to warrant say it -- Debate brown but. -- when he asked you out it's got a question about the question that -- I'm not let me finish what I'm saying now it's a question and he got a got a. A lot it might say oh what. Army should do right out of the box tonight shall be just a domestic policy debate I write -- I think -- should do is turn their Obama in it. Square between I wish. The whole thing about Libya even why -- -- it has really got the autopsy report yet. Have we secured the -- -- we have a anybody over the secure that database -- the building itself. Why didn't stack in order agent just it's blown away by -- fast and -- daughter. Jets yesterday. You know what you know you have control any control what's going on in the country right now mr. Obama now. If you don't think Israel Bob they say they gonna be fifty million people watching it -- do you think you know given. Given how few people read newspapers or watch TV newscast now days. Do you think a majority of the people would understand fast and furious or even Libya. You know the first time. Your -- I'd say that's -- according amenable like oh I hope it. -- meat market brought another border agent got killed -- -- -- that was the first one that will be the first time that any -- -- these things. It'll Bible will look flustered and -- and out. Yeah I think I think that's got to be beyond that I think you know one of the debates start should try to be on your best behavior you know just like you you know you just strangers coming in in the somebody's living room and again this will be the first I'm based. Russia does this the first time a lot of people see the guy the other then. Other than an 832 or one or one minute attack spot on TV so he's got I think he. Maybe may be later to into the debate it's -- how long that's an eternity now. May and may be in the second debate but I I think on the at the beginning he's got a he's going to be you know you'd come in with a smile on issues shine like. Lake when Willie will -- the day in the death. But the salesman thanks for the call 18774694322. Officer marks as your Gormley Jackson is far more convincing than the non Barack warm Obama's -- black. -- -- May appreciates that governor. Gold and blue -- make auto loan these people. Like accents if they don't know what that dale and 18774694322. Mom lets see here George you're next with how we cargo ahead George. -- I keep -- -- -- it's all about the domestic issues in this so much to you that -- -- in the fourth -- Basically brought after it took blame in this bad economy on Obama and Obama's response we already know it's going to be is that. Things are getting better in that response to that it's. Great outlook right into the camera the American people. You're right the economy is getting better in order our India it's sixteen trillion dollars in -- its health care that you -- tax if you don't get. And unemployment over 8% you are right it is -- if you want and continue to get the like then -- -- right next to me. And that's -- Obama between. I I certainly agree with you about the four dollar gallon gasoline -- someone just send them into there was a lead story on the ABC news at the top of the hour this. The the text or said he almost -- drove off the road when you went of that mainstream media would lead with blood with the price of gasoline. It's pretty amazing. But it you know I think if he if he brings up obamacare costing more I think that doesn't that kind of set the set up Obama to just say. -- governor you know I the you know we took because our blueprints. The plans that you made in Massachusetts and everybody Massachusetts seems happy which is -- -- But he you know he has these he has these bogus polls to wanted to -- you know. I think -- -- I don't know I you don't that's the thing about -- he's keys kind of gun shy about going after obamacare because his fingerprints are all over Romney care you know. And I watched all those debates -- all -- a Republican debates and he never he and he never really. -- explained properly the difference between Obama care and Romney care. You know he had a -- was sounded like he was you're trying to war you know talk his way out of India talked his way out of a bad its -- the situation. Thanks for. A call George 1877469432218774694322. How we don't care mid gaps like like Joseph Biden. Does I still in voting for Obama. I cut I agree I'm not a mobile form either. 187746. The same people think -- being racist or for playing these cuts in the same idiots who think brown speaking on Warren for being an Indian. I know I don't care and I just -- -- it amused me the fact that the guys accusing me of being racist is because we're talking about the fact. He changes accents. -- Outside of politics how many people you know change accents. You sometimes your accent can change over course of over the course of the years -- thousand. Now know what have you no matter what you used on the same even when people. Batting you around for a -- -- are now claps. -- yeah distance. Yeah. Pocket sometimes people change people's tax changes mean I don't think I think Donna asked. Yes and Michigan Nash is gonna British accent. Yeah Jerry Williams used -- -- say you're from western us don't think I have any topic maybe I did when I started out radio I don't think much of western mass Tina Turner also sounds like she's British efforts -- -- But it you know most people -- coach in and a if you go back and listen to war you you know like Charlotte Carrie talking about -- of coal would be. He sounds like he's like -- Jack Kennedy's younger brother and his accent is where you all sorts of plastic surgeries Chan has changed league office. But the few people changed their accent. On non cash -- And -- just don't think it the you're trying to pull one over somebody when you're trying to one way and you try it's it's the it's condescending that Petraeus speak to somebody -- 18774694322. -- That's why we need -- federal public transportation dollars -- the highest need community we don't need to build more hours about in the suburbs. If we have people on the planet right now who want to work but have no way to get the vote now. We've got to help connect -- good job. The -- -- severely raping a minority don't. In our neighborhood but people don't have to travel from miles away. Shouldn't minorities real ones investing in there minority owned businesses I mean that you know we've. Since he's been present and we've investigated it would be hidden in the past that and a lot of businesses that he chose like Solyndra comes to mind immediately and yeah is it I guess he. Romney idea and it has -- public appearance yesterday in Denver and he came out some singers that there were known in the year and about. And one of -- You know President Obama has elected to pick go out and pick winners and losers in the economy he just likes to pick closers. You know nothing's ever changed you know it's all about the government everything it's about the government.

No matter how woman does the the it's outcomes of the mainstream meteor city he has the terrible job I absolutely. Couldn't agree with you more. That's why would say that you know follow my advice in my column -- says -- As soon as that watched the debate on C span. As soon as the debates over turn off the TV. And then either go to talk radio show they'll be plenty of talk radio shows on after the debate in the all over the place. And or go to the Internet and get a -- your favorite you know message -- two blocks in there will be plenty of national review. Dot com weekly standard. Free republic Lucy -- they're all there all over the place a power line blog. You don't have the you don't have to listen to these people. Mean. Think of these people -- -- -- up there. David that CNN and mostly about yesterday's rate as well seen and has that you don't want it Republicans are. David Gergen. The guy who try to CMBX Scott Brown in 2000 -- at the at the Kennedy school. -- the Kennedy library. And and Alex cast on housewife gets used to work for. For Mitt Romney and -- I think he was let go admit that like the job he was ever since then he's been predicting disaster from every every turn. Those -- both the Republicans. How it on CNN and then of course there are any Republicans on MSNBC. Except for a jokes are you call and he won't be there is getting up in the morning. The only the only QB and have on on MSNBC year comrade -- comrade Rachel sergeant Schultz. Oreo well you forget it don't -- one just does go to the radio and that's the only way to deal with us. 18774694322. With PBS moderating the debate I suspect. Obama's responses will be honest teleprompter. They say this they say there's not going to be a teleprompter for him. Which should make it very interest. It's six point 7UP a truism no president influences gas prices unless they wage and provoked war in the middle -- east. While all I can tell you is that win win the gas prices were going up in 2008. There was nobody saying this there's a truism the president doesn't influence gas prices are we were saying was is George Bush as well. Man how much it cost you fill up with cast like election but you know by thirty muscat. Holocaust and 35 bucks what would you like to tell George -- if you were listening to this news. I can't afford to drive to be you ever hear that you never hear him again though in Europe this afternoon. On ABC radio I hope I hope we will have media drumbeat that from now until November 6. How we on the Ed show on MSNBC last night the poll question was do you think Romney will continue the campaign of lies and tomorrow night's debate it. How's that for spend. It that's a grip is great sped. They did pistol saying he's gonna raise taxes they raise taxes on the middle class.
