as his vp. think about under the bush regime and dick cheney and i mean, you know, he was the guy as we now know, who was very much behind the idea that you know, the white house has every right to be as secretive as possible. very much in the power of the executive. so, i mean, i really think there s something to this idea that here you ve got mitt romney. it s a very corporate style attitude to suggest that the american people don t deserve and it s not even just to what jewulian was saying. the answers don t match up. you sign documents saying one thing that were then submitted by bain and yourself to the sec. you re now saying something different. okay. tell us how that happened. prove it. he doesn t think that anybody deserves an answer to that kind of a question? i think dick cheney is exactly the kind of person to give him the advice he needs to keep on avoiding telling the truth. not only in term of the
running an experiment in which you change the independent variable. when you are running the experiment with the bush administration you say what s wrong with the country, there s this thing, the bush regime, and it is doing terrible things. that s what s wrong where the country. then you swap out the independent variable and put in a new president and say what s wrong with our country? well, it can t be the fact it can t be barack obama because i margely trust him and think he s incredibly short and shared my values, yet the country is dysfunctional. that precipitates the more radical analysis. i have experienced this through the first two years of the presidency to say, okay, maybe it is not just the president or the party in charge but something deeper about the way the american political system functions. once you get there you get to a more radical place and i think it is a place that, you know, that a lot of the country is in. you and i were talking in the makeup room about thi
smoking. i went to a gym and there was treadmill and ashtray. arab men fighting over check, and using words god willing, we know this, overuse of those terms. jokes about them holding a mirror up to them in front of their own culture, without getting into religion. you can t tell joes about islamism, judaism or christianity. it s not like going up there buddhi buddhist, fair game. but the point is, the it s still in the infancy. the reason we limit ourselves because we don t want to destroy this movement of comedy across the region. it s exciting to see this. do you think there s a change in the way the u.s. is viewed in that region, as you re traveling around, since the cleavage between bush and obama and obama made this speech in cairo and everybody looked at the election of obama as signaling the american people giving a negative referendum to the bush regime. has that change the the way it had. i performed in cairo the day after president obama was
been pushed under the bush regime and now that republicans are calling for obama to move forward are based on the hold on. with all due respect i ve heard your president and the president in general advocate these deals explicitly absent any republican pressure. to suggest this is a republican agenda strikes me as incomplete information. you didn t allow me to finish. sorry. i would have said republicans are newly calling on the president to move forward these trade deals and there has been a desire by the obama administration to move these deals forward. some of the trade agreements have had minor changes but the fact of the matter is the fundamental changes that need to be made to the current sort of template for trade agreements, they need these vast improvements if we re going to make trade work for the american worker. the fact of the matter is the united states has been hemorrhaging manufacturing jobs since 2001. there are about 5.4 million manufacturing jobs that have
this behavior. what is this business about, oh they could face consequences? privacy advocates are being ridiculous. you are not going to be put in prison in the united states of america for what you say. sean penn might. he was very afraid of going to prison under the bush regime. sean penn is afraid of his own shadow. this makes my point. are you a public figure. don t you have private conversations on-line? this is not whether you can e-mail somebody or not. it is if you can post on-line. you don t just say oh you criticized the government. criticize the government all you want. i promise you, they can t put new prison. and i would respect you more if you wouldn t be a hipocrite on this. nor my book nor is anne my actual name. nor is she wearing pants. that s actually accurate. so you would have roughly a legion of on-line haters.
