Very interesting I hear -- our President Bush's thoughts on all of that and this is interesting as well let's bring in former Republican presidential candidate.

Herman Cain good morning mr.

Cain the more animosity this morning and your reaction to -- -- our president there.

He is exactly spot all on.

One of a fundamental flaws of this administration is that they do not believe in the private sector.

This is why this economy is not -- this is -- not gonna grow -- like President Bush say it.

They're not really the bush tax cuts they of the existing tax rates.

And unfortunately this congress and this president can do nothing and rates would go up and it's -- to devastate this economy so he's exactly right.

You know we're about to look at some polls that are head to head between President Obama and Mitt Romney -- a lot of calls recently by very prominent Republicans to get behind Mitt Romney.

Is that something that you're ready to -- -- -- you supported Newt Gingrich in this race and he's still.

The numbers -- on Mitt run this side and yes I have always say it I will support to -- of the number media's.

And it looks like Mitt Romney is going to be that nominee and we do need to get behind him.

I remind people all the time -- -- -- at Fordham university and Columbia University today remind -- -- keep your eye on the mission.

And the mission is to get control of the senate maintain control of the house and defeat Barack Obama that means get behind the nominee so yes I'm ready to get behind the nominee -- -- just -- look at some of these policies or Washington Post holes yes and we wanna put these numbers and show them they -- that if the election were held today.

This is a way to shape up President Obama 51%.

Mitt Romney 44% and just Obama gets -- three about it.

And we'll get your collective thoughts on this who do you trust to do a better job handling the economy.

This is where -- -- does better 47 of 43 he's made persuasive argument there to these folks take a look at the next one.

Which is who do you trust to create jobs in this country.

-- that's close but President Obama still edges out Mitt Romney in that part of it anything.

I think that the numbers are close enough but that was a good -- for Mitt Romney if he gets ultimately gets the nomination and here's why.

Because the president has used the office of the president to campaign.

And to pander to groups in order to give the perception that he is best fit to be president for example.

They now advertised -- -- earned income tax credit.

-- people come on down gets more money.

The Agriculture Department advertises encourages people to get all those stamps it is pandering at its absolute worst so when we have a have a nominee.

And they focus that advertise and in the -- it's very clearly very bold and there's specific.

I believe that you gonna see Dole's poll numbers change so -- do not bother mean given the closeness of.

Realistic look at some of my body here when you look at the like ability issues yes for Mitt Romney and Iran is going to be here tomorrow so we're gonna ask him a little bit about this as well who seems more likable.

President Obama or Mitt Romney what you could drive a truck through that 6426.

Let's -- in a couple of the -- -- -- on YouTube dot -- who's more inspiring 55 to 29 President Obama takes as well.

And let's go through the next -- here.

Women's issues lot of press on this issue.

In recent days.

President Obama seems to -- winning that argument as well -- -- this one more.

Which is who has the preference among men Mitt Romney gets that would 52.

To 44%.

What is on at a -- Well all that adds up to -- is quite simply.

Quinn -- -- -- and hit the hit and Mitt Romney has the opportunity to promote his message and has an opportunity to better inform people.

I believe that you bonus here again I believe -- human -- scrolls that's an indicate yes the President Obama it's very likable the most people.

If you just look at -- and his family.

But if you look at his policies which is what most people disagree with is a different story and I think -- -- May -- A much more for me with the failed policy is now a lot of other people as well as the general public so I believe that there's still a huge opportunity for Mitt Romney.

I'm not particular bother about -- now this brings one other big point.

People of -- -- have to not only be.

Excited about the nominee but they're gonna have to be excited about candidates down ticket.

This isn't just about who's going to be president even though that's the most important one.

But they also have to be excited about all of the candidates down ticket which is what the focus is -- and for the effort that I have started on McCain -- -- dot com I'm doing a big rally Sunday and Monday that.

It's fifteenth and sixteenth he watch it in Washington I'm in New York today in Washington DC don't.

I wish I had an NFL that exchange rate is everywhere -- -- go to K connects -- dot com.

If you like to be applauded this new revolution not bombs and bullets brains and balance rein him ballot -- very much I -- great to have you with this plays that they are your name are -- -- -- I don't.
