President . You are going through a lot. Bill there you go, last question about the former first lady, right . Martha we were talking as he came out. I hope someone asks him about the speaker question because his name gets getting floated for that. I would say based on the comments he made they should take him off that list. He is focused on running for president. 40 to 50 points ahead. I dont know why anybody wants to run into the buzz saw of Speaker Of The House. Not a productive place to be at the moment.
