lass good every day driver. if i had had one of these in high school. what would happen? i don t know. would have been fun. i don t know that i would buy this color. they do come in other colors. i would go for red myself. or black, right. how much is this one? the convertible that we tested that is expensive, about $44,000 but they go down into the 20s for less for other models. all right. rick. we need a couple of more degrees on the thermometer and then put the top down and take this out for a spin. let s go, me and you. rick, thanks very much. have fun tonight. thank you very much. i will have her home by 10:30. thank you. hear that, mom? we are leaving but stick around bus harris faulkner isae up next with the fox report. d captioned by closed captioning services, inc. developing smaller portion sizes
as a matter of fact, his policies have made our economy worse. it is pretty clear to the american people that these policies are not working. and when you look at this election that is coming up it is pretty clear it is going to be a referendum on the president s policies regarding our economy. well, that was house speaker john boehner of course, back in january and since he gave that speech the economy has begun to pick up a little steam with the manufacturing sector leading the way. the unemployment rate dropped almost a whole percentage point since last august and even with the sluggish recovery businesses are starting to hire again but is that because of the president s policies or as republicans contend in spite of them? susan estrich is a professor of law and political science at the university of southern, california. always good to talk to you. good to talk to you, rick. republicans would say all of this is happening in spite of what the president has done.
and chose a select few as the topics. rick paul is here. the auto editor at consumer reports. and we are happy you joined us and thanks for bringing the beautiful mustang which we will talk about in a minute. how do you pick? so many cars to choose from. the top cars in ten categories and that meet three criteria. have to do well in your testing. average or better reliability and have to do well in independent crash tests. makes them well rounded cars. don t excel in one area and foul dawn in another. top family sedan. the toyota camry hybrid. 38 miles per gallon for this mid sized car. that is better than a lot of sub compacts. good looking, too. affordable sedan. the hyundai is sonata. the four cylinder model gives you a lot for the money.
the nomination a stronger candidate in november and he will have had toence at questions and deal with the issues and a lot of this stuff old news and he will be able to go after the president on the things that we mentioned at the top? i think that is kool-aid, rick. think that was true in the case of obama and hillary because there was no idealogiccal divide. two candidates. some people liked one and some people liked the other but the base of the party was not divided. this looks more to me like 1980 where you had a real idealogiccal battle within the party where people divided not only in terms of who they supported but what they believed in and where the hits romney is taking right now are hits that go directly to his character, his competence, whether he is part of the elite, whether he understands the problems of people like us. i think romney has, frankly, shrunk in this campaign as opposed to obama who, frankly, got big. interesting analysis as always from susan estrich.
