say, mike, what's the surprise? a lots of republicans would say, yeah, we weren't surprised because the barack obama that stood on the capitol steps yesterday was the guy we thought he was the last four years, was a progressive laying out a progressive agenda for the country, something we have a problem with. now the shadowboxing is over, you have the real guy, what do you do? >> what do you do? >> you confront him on the issue that unifies all republicans. that's the federal debt. i actually was really disappointed. i wasn't surprised by much in the speech yesterday and a lot of what he said's just not going to be implemented. he was playing for history, al, i think you're right. i was really disappointed by what i thought was just petty partisan talk on social security, medicare and medicaid. medicare and medicaid will bankrupt us, ask bill clinton's former keefe of staff, erskine bowls.
