strategy and a narrative and an argument unveil and don t worry, plenty more parts. don t want to use up all the arrows in your give they are early. at a macrolevel, karen, think at a macrolevel, i m not the first one to say this everybody is saying this what the romney campaign wants is for this to be a referendum on obama s first term and what obama wants is for this to be a comparison between romney and obama. whoever wins that argument will likely went race. what about this new york times op ed this weekend, karen, republicans in congress are the ones to blame for the economy and they have been obstructing president obama s efforts while mitt romney got us more into recession in the first place. do you think a president can successfully run on that pattern, just blaming congress? i think it is part of what he is talking about. the other piece, part of you why also have, you know, campaign surrogates and outside voices also making that argument. i think the president has got
those items are? we talk about green he is and lettuce and starches and the staples. so for instance, coming up, we will have something like potato potatoes, make sure we have carrots, we also include fruit in every single share. one of the things i think when you look at this sort of initiative, at the macrolevel, the thing that has to change is a lot of regulations, right? have to be ways that the government changes the way that it interacts with the food system, the farm bill, which is currently making its way through congress. i think there s a really interesting story that reuters told a little bit about, about the way in which michelle obama s initiatives on this on this score have been pushed back at by big food, basically, right? because if you try to take on big food, more often than not, you lose. that s been the rule so far. even small things, changes to voluntary guidelines for school health nutrition, for instance. how how uneven is the playing field in this po
