it s trying to invoke emotion from voters. and ultimately, that s the goal. like we said, you can have the best policy in the world, but if it doesn t move a heartstring, it doesn t have an impact. i wish i could say that just policy is going to move it, but, again, going back to the most successful politicians and the most successful movements are the ones that illustrate that. they paint the picture. another recent example, melissa, the immigration movement, where you have all of these young students sitting out there on the mall and saying, we are going to be one with our undocumented brothers and sisters and suffer, just as they re suffering. and suddenly the tv cameras focused in on this and the american public started seeing this. and so this is key to any political strategy. so, it may lack substance, but our job is to see that substance is added on. but part of what happened is the discourse can sometimes be unhooked from something. the you actually look at lbj s
like something that you cannot suggest is reasonable. if there is a logicals explanation for it, i don t know what it is. but i want to get this idea about voter i.d. equals voter suppression. voter i.d. is only controversial on the left. 80% of americans support presenting an i.d. when you go to the voter booth. the idea that it s the equivalent to lynching is certainly extreme. if anyone thinks that, it is very clear. the thing that is equivalent to lynching are lynching. there aren t other things that are equivalent to lynching. but what voter i.d., what it undoubtedly does, it doesn t bring us any old voter i.d. what we see in these recent laws is, a voter i.d. that has these specific aspect to it. so the suppressive aspect, so you end up in a situation in texas, so you can vote with the card that you can get a gun registration, but not your student i.d. so it s not just like, bring us something that sort of makes us realize who you are.
change issue accomplished. we have already seen some of this leading up to this. sometimes it goes beyond dollars and cents. recently he administered one. it doesn t affect the discipline quota and it does not help students. it avoids the hard work of passing something through proper congressional channels. education is a big part of the agenda. you look at the educational record like the record of a lot of things. that policy doesn t seem to work. no, it doesn t. this is an example of government over reach. regulation is a form of taxation. there are few restrictions especially in these independent agencies they can do what they want. it is very hard to turn them back. that imposes a real cost. even though he is stymied in
of the chief executive s job performance. the president oft repeated promise, if you like your health plan you can keep it, fully half of all registered voters now believe mr. obama knowingly lied. 4 in 10 believe he didn t know that promise would turn out to be untrue. only 1% think he was exaggerating and 9% don t know what to think. and of the presidency policy, 38% of register voters regard it as sincere but 58% nearly six in ten believe it was proffered for political reasons. the president sat this week for that excruciating exercise known as the barbara walters interview wherein mr. obama was confronted with the fact as walters put it, quote, people just don t think you re trustworthy. i got re-elected. in part because people did think i was trustworthy and they knew i was working on their behalf. i think the bottom line is, barbara, that i don t know any president who hasn t gone through certain periods during their presidency. very rarely the president added in that intervi
the big ohio state/michigan game is over. it just finished moments ago. ohio state won 42-41. michigan went for the double and didn t get it at the end. governor john kasich has declared today scarlet letter saturday in ohio banning the use of the letter m all day today. in fact, he signed a resolution yesterday. so i ll be talking to the governor about the rule and we, as i mentioned, did find out that ohio state won 42-41. so there may be something to that. meanwhile millions of americans are expected to logon to cyber monday, in search of the hottest holiday deals. many just hoping to avoid
