37% of likely voters now say mr. obama is doing a good or excellent job as a leader. 40% rate his performance as poor in the leadership department. that s down 7 points in just one month. now, there are two things in play. the union brawl in wisconsin, and the turbulence in the arab world. as far as wisconsin is concerned the democratic party in general has taken a big hit because the situation remains chaotic. and democrats in the wisconsin senate have fled the state so there can t be a vote. that does not reflect well on the democratic party. what would happen if that occurred in every state? nothing would get voted on we would have chaos. president obamas that not said anything about the flight and that could be hurting him. then there is the middle east where the president has kept a very low profile. he has slow to condemn mumbarak in egypt and not speaking out against qaddafi. again, measures want strong leadership and they don t see it here. to be fair to the president, mumbarak
mumbarak on if i terror business. gaddafi is a terrorist, is he a killer. everybody knows it. so the moment that libya went up, if i were president, i would have said not only do we want this guy out, we want this guy in guantanamo bay. we want to try this guy for the lockerbie bombing and for a whole bunch of other things as you know, colonel, his chief lieu tenants are now saying that gaddafi himself ordered the lockerbie bombing over scotland. so i don t understand president obama is a smart man, you know he is. he knows gaddafi is a terrorist. he knows is he a terrorist. now, we asked the white house this. and this is their response. they didn t come out against gaddafi in the beginning because they wanted to get all of the americans in libya out of there. and they felt that if they had attacked gaddafi verbally that gaddafi would have sent his thugs to kill americans. you say? that s pure spin. gaddafi knew and knows that he touched an american, that s the
i m writing my column tomorrow morning about this in the wall street journal. the more i dig into the president s budget proposal, the more outraged i am at the failure of leadership. look, we have had in the last couple of weeks two regimes trying to give up power temporarily. mumbarak said i will give up power to my vice president. obama says i m not going to be a participant in the budget debate. don t take this seriously. go look at the republicans. in each instance the motivation was the same. keep me in power. the president s budget is full of gym nicks. congress paul ryan pointed there is a chart s 2. take a look at it. and you look at the numbers. what it says is this, we are going to save $1.3 billion out of defense. because we re going to assume that we re going to fight afghanistan and iraq at surge levels for the next 10 years and oh, incidentally, we think we can begin drawing down the troops and that will save us $1.3 billion. wait a minute, or $1.3 trillion. wait a min
states. not in some international court and definitely not in england. bill: why do you think the president aside from the american presence in libya isn t more forceful against qaddafi and mumbarak in egypt. i think qaddafi mumbarak may be more complications. qaddafi is a clean cut situation. qaddafi is more like my lois very much or osama bin laden. he has been frozen to be behind the murder of american citizens. he attacked an american plane. you can t say about the same about mumbarak. you can t each say the same about saddam hussein. this is a guy who is a clear-cut enemy of the united states. what he should come out and say right now is to the people of libya that qaddafi is an enemy of the united states and we support you in your efforts. to give them some of the momentum that they may need right now during these desperate times. bill: even knowing the americans, you know, you have to start to step up. now, mr. conaway i would like to see the americans get this guy
