Think of his class warfare rhetoric the rich don't pay their fair share count the numbers don't lie.
47% of Americans don't pay a penny in federal income taxes.
He keeps saying over and over again the rich don't pay their fair share.
What's real what's your response to that that you would be represented you do that represented -- -- the party of the rich.
Look we have as a nation.
An extraordinary opportunity ahead of us we have a new century this can be and must be an American century.
The only way that happens is if we pull together -- -- people.
I know there are people who want to divide America and think through that somehow will will help their campaign prospects.
You can't divide America.
We have to come together and and all the streets are conducted in America we've got to encourage main street and Wall Street.
And and the Andy -- suburban streets and the urban streets we've got to come together as a people.
And what President Obama was candidate Obama.
He campaigned with a with a message of unity and change he just hasn't delivered he's done the exact opposite.
Of what he promised in the campaign and the American people want to see a leader.
Who's not in this race for themselves.
But -- in this race for America and can bring us together.
Can work across the aisle to get America on this solid economic foundation it needs they can turn this into the job creating machine.
We've always been and can make it good to be middle class in America again.
You you've gone through a fair amount of scrutiny will global were actually some of the issues you've had to deal with throughout the campaign.
We go back to 20072008.
We learned -- a lot about President Obama.
Reverend Wright.
-- -- Acorn community organizer.
He's asked one question about the letters which happens to be an issue that I was concerned about a lot probably more than anybody else in the media.
Only one question about an un repentant terrorists.
And he said he's just a guy neighborhood.
But he started his career in this house he speeches with a set on board with the -- You think fundamentally the media's been unfair.
And when you look back now.
At the president's positions back then.
And look at how we govern should we have belief.
Who Obama was at that point did we miss an opportunity to scrutinize them to do due diligence and that and.
Well I'm not terribly surprised the mainstream media.
Gave the pass add that to delve into what he really believed in what -- do.
Of course he was hard to do that in some respects because he didn't have a record.
We select for the guy who had an -- distinguished a distinguished record in the states senate.
Did the best thing of of note in the United States senate.
And so it was hard to know exactly where was he was say at the blank page and he had soaring rhetoric which was inspiring.
But people presume he was gonna be perhaps like Bill Clinton and trying to move towards the middle and get Republicans and Democrats to work together he has not been that.
He has been found out to be an extreme liberal.
And who has on almost every dimension weaken America.
Weaver weaker economy because this president.
We have massive deficits now fifteen trillion dollars in debt because of President Obama.
He's now by by failing to lead the super committee and having led perhaps a trapped by saying we're gonna cut the military by 600 billion dollars that's on top of a billions and billions -- -- so far he's put the military our military is now weaker.
He has made America a weaker nation.
That's inexcusable we face challenges around the world and opportunities that are bright for -- I wanna make America stronger.
He did what what do you think it is do you think for example Bill Clinton very interestingly he changed.
He'll altered course he he moved to this error and a big government and well -- as we know it.
And a big government etc.
it's -- -- all these things he said and it helped get reelected.
This president's been shown an unwillingness it seems to -- -- to change to Alter.
-- strategy where do you interpret that as you rigid ideologue.
I think he isn't rigid ideologue I think he looks for his political inspiration to Europe.
I think he thinks that the Europeans got things right.
And I disagree -- do you think that would we when we look propane go to -- fans like that you wanted to get -- figured out what should.
How I think it is it is his policies are bankrupt the evidence is so stark.
Both internationally his policy of saying look America is just another nation we're not -- exceptional we're gonna apologize to the world how does that work.
Not gonna run the greatest threat we face as he made progress -- -- -- made progress with with Israel now.
-- his his efforts and that in Afghanistan I applaud the fact that he was in favor of a search.
But the same time he didn't give enough troops he set a withdrawal date.
He didn't make sure the election of a new president in Afghanistan was fair would have the support of the people but he's he's failed on almost every dimension.
And yet he continues to pursue the same course it's really.
Inexplicable about having a person who just doesn't understand America and I don't think it does -- I don't think President Obama.
Understands what is unique about America what is exceptional about America.
I don't think he understands that it's free people.
And free enterprise that make America the economic powerhouse it is I think he thinks the government bureaucrats.
Will intention.
Some I can do a better job guiding our economy and our lives -- three people and he's wrong.
