it will be as high as 6%, 6.5% and meanwhile it s 8. when they first came out with the prediction, you never know. you can t tell the circumstances or whatever you want to blame it on in the future, you never know. and same goes for the stock market. and the recovery. are you all suggesting that the economy that lost jobs as a result of that? no, i m saying it didn t do as promised. they have done quite well. can we play one more sound bite? let s do another edited sound bite. david axelrod, on the trail, sr. great for president obama, when he was unveiling the portrait. will listen to axelrod yesterday. i get tweets from some of these folks so i feel close to them. [chanting in the background] you can shout down speakers myself, but it s hard to etch a step the truth away. [laughter] if i were him i wouldn t have
gasoline was fallen. that puts more disposable income in people s pockets. that s the best thing i can say. but barack obama, how does he get out of it? mitt romney. you can t just go an mitt romney alone. yesterday the president said in my second term i will fix obamacare. if i m a voter now i would say you spent the first four years passing this monstrosity we know nothing about and now you want another chance so you can fix it? he s off his game. i want to pick up on that because i think there is this underlying anxiety about some of the things that s happened the last three and a half years that s caused the slowish growth of our economy which is, one, the stimulus didn t work. two, that taxes are uncertain. people do not know we are facing a slew of faction increases, and businesses can t plan. you have the healthcare bill that is hanging in the balance, and you have the dodd-frank, which is the banking rules that
