been trying to hide for years. it s a glimpse into the mind of the real barack obama and it s one that all americans need to pay close attention to. that was fox news tonight. huffington post released tape of echoing the remarks about 47% of the country not taking responsible for their lives. paul ryan s remarks were that it was 30% of the country. they do not believe in the american dream and just believe. tucker carlson played at the time it came out, but they are newly excited about in part, as best i can tell, because president obama gives a shout out to his chicago pastor at the time jeremiah wright. do either require as a first debate eve giant up-end the campaign surprise? joining us is steve smith.
