jonathan, i ll start with you. i mentioned this earlier. this column from your colleague at the washington post jeanne robinson this morning, the timing of this is interesting in light of what happened this afternoon. the headline on his column was obama is the wrong person to lead a discussion about race. i mentioned this earlier. one of the lines is, the unfortunate fact is that obama s aim is to promote dialogue about race, speaking his monday is demon st demonstrably counterproductive. just wondering what your take is. well, i m hoping history will prove gene wrong. it was incredibly powerful to be there in the room when the president gave these remarks. his coming into the room was a surprise, but i think what he had to say was even more surprising. the press core always pays attention when the president speaks. this time, no one moved.
i think it was inappropriate. can i say something, going back to the pledge, because, the 20 seconds. the american public, heard from the young guns and it turned out to be a pop gun and turned out out to be spin, not substance an specifics and turned out to be a return to the failed bush policies of which a demonstrably got us into a deep hole and the american people has two economic premises, one we pursued which gave us the best economy we have seen in yours and my lifetime in the 9 oth0s or the worst econoe have seen in the 2000s. chris: congressman, thanks for coming in, with 37 days coming up to the election, it will be quite a rush to the finish. it is, thanks, chris. chris: the united nations, talk of war in a new book, our sunday panel tackles that when we come right back. s it will bea s it will bea rush to thehost: could switchio really save you 15% or more on car insurance?
