black president after the first black president to the left and he is to the right. he says wouldn t it be more news if he said he doesn t feel he is the next president. he is going to be the second black president. and the next thing he says public service and this effort in the presidential process is a ministry. go on. you are so upset about ben carson. i m concerned. your thoughts. ted cruz said speaker ryan is john boehner without a tan. he told politico sometimes bills will fail and that is okay. that is identical to what boehner said when he took speakership. they passed the transportation bill that john boehner wanted. another death of the government. he doesn t have a tan and conservatives seem to like him. he has a great agenda on
and john kerry even wanted to resemble that in page 82 of my book. he said something like he wanted to be the second black president. and jim clyburn said barack obama is the first black president. i think there is no doubt that everybody, every constituency is going to want to see them come down and earn it there is no doubt about that. i think, though, they are the clintons are very well positioned to put as much of that coalition back together as possible and be very, very successful. remember, clinton only got 43% the first time in 92. 42% of the vote. and he did it by but he also leaned over. i can t believe the number of police academies i went to covering him in that campaign. executing that guy. remember that guy with the mental problems? executing him. he said work hard and play by the rules. he sent a lot of conservative messages along with having the black vote. so he managed to fuse that together really brilliantly anyway. thank you so much, robert gibbs. thank y
