this. we had ali velchi on saying it is piecemeal approach to keeping jobs in the country. that may not be the biggest way to keep jobs here, but if you re the president-elect and you can go and announce that jobs are staying here, that s probably a pr win. it is, especially him. he s all about the facade and what s seemingly good and he s been telegraphing for a while he wants to do this. the problem is it co s coming o the backdrop of bernie sanders saying, wait a minute, if you re touting this to businesses, then all the businesses are going to get the wrong idea. i think that s going to cause a problem and that s sort of a red flag for the opposition. and for not even being sworn in for four years now, this could be the standard. every time there is a company talking about leaving, taking jobs down to mexico, the question is now can trump do
jay carney was expected to be talked about. but it was canceled when president obama came out to talk about troop levels in afghanistan early. what the president does by talking today, he shifts the topic to we re going to keep 9,800 u.s. troops in afghanistan past the end of this year, instead of the story being about the cia. i m back from a week away and i m glad to be back. this is what i thought was amazing. president obama has a wonderful secret trip planned for the troops. they pulled it off perfectly. brad paisley on the plane. he s going to perform for the troops. i thought huge pr win for the white house, people have forgotten the fact that the president went on a trip because of a mistake that has overshadowed everything. which is going to be and is i think a huge fiasco. this isn t a minor mistake in a press release that the white house put out. this is the identity of a cia
for vladimir putin. now putin starts stepping away from syria because it s for what he wants, this is doing just the opposite for basically a glorified gas station. he doesn t need this. he went to syria because it was a cheap, easy pr win. it s not worth it anymore. in a warm weather port for the russian navy. clearly the syrians and as sads especially have really embarrassed russia, put putin in a tough place. russia overplayed his hand with the wikileaks stuff last year. now they can t get zblig now they can t get anything, right. and i agree with mark. i think this is frozen for quite while. and that is in everybody s best interests. putin wroild like sanctions relief. he s not going to get that.
