tell the working stipthese guys were not born with a silver spoon. the democratic guys although they made it did it through work and brains, the other guys did because they were born into it. all that was said about clinton and deregulation is correct. but he had this ability to explain complicated things fp shim on a bus tour and i can t find a single person that knows what s in obama care. the president should be ot explaining and telling it everyday. i think the folks and the american public realizes this is a serious, serious situation for our country. and, you know, talking points lined up, you know the way the republicans do it, is a kind of insult to their intelligence and to their country at this point.
president, president clinton is a net gain for president obama because for dishonest republicans, brazen republicans, are now acting like they loved bill clinton in the 90s. when at the time they is a advantaged him and impeached him, so i think it s really important that clinton is saying you can t use me that way. he s a star. there s a downside we ll talk about, but i think the republicans will being disingenuous at every turn. joe cline, he is not on the side with the president for everything. but then people jump on him. they may disagree on donald trump or the record at bane, but they re in agreement that we should not have a permanent continual extension in tax cuts for the rich.
obama, who was hammered by his opponents for saying he would take out terrorists with or without that country s permission. if we have axble intelligence about how value terrorist targets, and they will not act, we will. we will risk the confused lip of an inexcused candidate that suggested bombing our alley, pakistan. last summer he basically threatened to bomb pakistan, which i don t think was a particularly wise position to take. brian, so he stuck his neck out, determined it would not be a drone strike to get bin laden, it would be a direct action by the seals. let me ask you when you look at the world right now, who has the capability to help america here in america. who can hit us. who can do real harm to this
think both on economics, his social policies, i think, fit with the better educated, and frankly, he s a more sophisticated candidate than we ve seen come out of the republican party, who appeals to better educated men who lives in the suburbs, who has can kids. yeah. let me go to matt cooper on that. and that is an interesting question. i assume women, because of all the numbers we so in all of our lives, are more for same-sex marriage, are more for gay rights, generally. are more empathetic to the gay community. and number two, they re clearly more concerned about abortion rights and contraception issues. men are more conservative them, but does that mean you have to go after men who basically agree with women on social issues? well, to some degree, i think mark s right. i mean, you re trying to go after more affluent, better-educated men rather than white working class men who are starting to look like a lost cause for obama. you know, in our own congressional connection poll we
just drops off the map on almost any question that you would think might be someplace where they could find common ground. for instance, we had a question this week about food stamps. why working class men overwhelmingly thought that, you know, there should be no extra money for food stamps. they like the cuts that the republicans are talking about. you would think these guys are kind of on the precipice of unemployment might be more sympathetic to that. they re not. let me ask you, mark, i always imagine driving along an old highway like route 40 or something, not 95 or 70 or 80, but a regular old highway, an interstate, and you stop and you see a little bar along the way, where men go after a hard day s work. they may be there late on a friday night talking at the bar. what are they saying about obama? working guys. what do you think those conversations are like?
