i m watching hbo the other night they have a special, my favorite hockey team growing up used to brawl, they fought and people bled. like this football fight in the parking lot. it was the 49ers in the stands. watch this. look, all right. this is a brutal brawl. it seems like a fair fight. right? sort of like two on two, i m guessing. my interpretation of this. not if the guy has a heart attack. sean: look, is this good for our kids to see? no. is fighting good? no. should we resolve our conflicts? yes. i got to be honest, i fought as a kid when i played ice hockey, i turned out okay.
sean: joining me with analysis. dick morris. good to see you. am i making too much of the fact? i can t get over with the country in the position that it is in. and the president traveling around in this canadian refurbished bus in a disaster of a tour that the first lady wouldn t wait for him. she takes a separate government paid for airplane. a second you know motorcade and i m thinking can they be that far out of touch with how the american people are struggling? i think it is incredible. the real thing here is that normally, all normally august is a dead month. we ve had downgrade, stock market going crazy, worst military disaster in afghanistan this is not the time to go away let me talk about perry s for a minute. the fact of the matter is texas ranks, i believe 13th of the 50 states in on time graduation from high school. sean: not a bad record.
sean: we continue with our great american panel. the president says he will be judged on the economy. the president: you ve got an unemployment rate that is still too high. an economy that is not growing fast enough. for me to argue, we ve may the right decisions. things would have been much worse had we not made those decisions. that s not that satisfying if you don t have a right now. i understand that and i expect to be judged a year from now on whether or not things have continued to get better. sean: they haven t gotten better. i m so glad you are talking about the economy. all anybody else wants to talk about is the missteps the republican candidates are making many a lot of people want at this time that way because they don t want to talk about obama s failed economic policies. keep it on obama s failed economic policy.

relating to dealing with the budget. sean: the tea party said when they elected candidates, they wanted a balanced budget, cuts across the board. they stayed true to their principles and they want any more compromise. i think their principles are based in politics. i didn t hear the tea party having some major uprising against president bush when he was spending all kind of dollars in wars all over the world. sean: obama is spending four times as much. and the surplus he got from president clinton. i didn t hear the tea party then. sean: you did, a lot of conservatives didn t show up in 2006. karen the issue is the tea party is racist, terrorists, can go straight to hell and i m going to help them get there? can we interpret this as a threat? this is the best news day barack obama had. the last was maxine waters in front of a group of african-american voters
