Baylor over Houston.and then Gonzaga! You also missed an opportunity to watch the car and truck ads inserted during the many time-outs. The ads built on the excitement of the basketball games. A truck that constructs a log cabin in the middle of a wilderness.

Now he s saying $200 billion in additional exports from china. he s trying to create leverage with the european union on this whole auto issue that could be coming in the weeks to come. so the problem for the president is that everyone s calling his bluff. even harley-davidson. they refused to back down from their plan to move some jobs overseas in order to escape some of these european tariffs. when you have all these countries simultaneously calling the president s bluff, it makes his position look weaker. we know he takes that very personally when someone makes him look weak, and educational background he could escalate things even more. china saying they re behaving like a gang of hoodlums. what s the off-ramp, if you will? is it canada and mexico? do you start with china because that s the biggest one? the chinese have a very clear strategy. it s true of all these countries involved. they tried to have retaliatory tariffs that are maximizing the political pain for the presid ....

That s a win-win. this is american capitalism and american success with a social contract. he raps about that. he supported obama for those reasons both personal and policy and i think it s really strong because this is someone that people trust. he s credible and it says something to me that s amazing about where we are in america. that you can take a person who did struggle with drugs and other things on the streets but has built himself up and held himself out as what he says in that ad, a moltd of the american dream. i think that s great. mitt romney stepped in it on the auto issue today in ohio. let s listen to this. i saw a store today, one of the great manufacturers in this state, jeep. now owned by the italians, is thinking of moving all production to china. i will fight for every good job in america. okay. so chrysler corporation then issues this statement. jeep has no intention of ....
