supports president obama s choices here. rand paul agrees with hillary clinton and president obama. the other republican potential candidate seems to be lining up in the traditional, you know, the kind of rhetoric that supporters of the embargo want to hear. i think opposition to this is a losing proposition. you cited the polls at the beginning of the segment. this is just something that makes sense to most americans. it certainly makes sense to the business community. every time i went down there, i saw a representative from the louisiana rice growers association or whatever down there just itching to get into that market. in the long run, i think trying to stand in the way of the freight train is a bad idea. in s much more going on then a the embargo forever crowd admits. thank you all for joining me tonight.
