anyway, republicans even made a theme at their convention, we build it. nia? you keep track of this. but nuance, and we do have recording devices now. you can hear the way a person said it. you don t have to go to the flat words on the screen. you can go he clearly meant all this infrastructure and roads and everything. didn t build that a company somewhere, there had to be a road to it, a public road. but they turn it around that he is a socialist bastard, basically. that s what they re saying. isn t that the message? isn t it? it didn t really catch on. they tried to ham their point home. and for a couple of days they had this. it was obviously at the campaign there. but it required you to believe that president obama is a socialist. it required you to believe that he believed in the redistribution of wealth. and most people don t believe that of course, he was playing to a certain segment of the base. but it didn t really catch on. it didn t really resonate broadly. so they quickl
did you build your business? if you did, raise your hand. take that, mr. president. take that, mr. president. we can lie. anyway, republicans even made a theme at their convention, we build it. nia? you keep track of this. but nuance, and we do have recording devices now. you can hear the way a person said it. you don t have to go to the flat words on the screen. you can go he clearly meant all this infrastructure and roads and everything. didn t build that a company somewhere, there had to be a road to it, a public road. but they turn it around that he is a socialist bastard, basically. that s what they re saying. stha isn t that the message? isn t it? it didn t really catch on. they tried to ham their point home. and for a couple of days they had this. it was obviously at the campaign there. but it required you to believe that president obama is a socialist. it required you to believe that he believed in the redistribution of wealth. and most people don t believe that of course,
come it an agreement. we will come to an agreement at the end of the day. but this is a much bigger issue. this is an issue for the direction where this country is going to go. are we going to continue to accumulate the debt we re accumulating or fundamentally change our economy for an economy that s growth. we have laid out a strategy that didn t build into the c.r., that built into where you dealt with the funding issue into the debt ceiling. but you can always argue why we re here. but that s too late. so let s understand which way to go forward. can i just say, if you talk to republicans, not in the house, and some republicans in the house but also republicans in the senate, other republicans your former presidential candidate mitt romney, they re saying this is the wrong strategy for the republican party. your popularity now is an all-time low at 17%. they believe that this isn t working for you. and that it s just the wrong thing to do. and you were making the wrong fight.
