on the podium saying i understand the protesters but, do not talk about them now talk about jobs. what should president obama be addressing? guest: well, we probably did not have enough time in the program to cover it all but i can tell you watching the president s speech it was a classic distorted speech filled with distortions, and false promises, and false choices and, again, blaming everyone but the administration for what is going on. if you look at the occupy wall street movement, what is happening? wall street creates jobs. it is the president they should be mad at. this president has done everything he can to stunt job growth. he wants to pass $447 billion bill to create jobs? and no one to look at it in just pass the bill. there is in cosponsor on either the senate or congressional near but he has done this before with $787 billion. and we still have 9 percent
