you guys know this. your name has been on a ballot. you have had to go out and knock on doors and ask people who they will support. you know that perception is sometimes far more important than reality. so the perception in the campaign, if you re running the president s re-election campaign, you ve got what happened in the winter of 2008/2009. you ve got the mortgage mess, which still exists today. right. you ve got the perpetual unemployment for a lot of people over the age of 50. you ve got what happened with jp morgan just recently. i m not saying it s bad. and you ve got what happened today in the papers. did morgan stanley cook the books, you know, and tell insiders about facebook? all of that is out there as perception. people are sitting and saying, you know, i don t want a big business guy. i don t want a big business guy. they re different. maybe you can do it. and i think most americans are even conservatives myself are skeptical about the pureness
