Does this bill.
President Obama campaigning in Columbus, Ohio on September 13 2011.
As part of his fall campaign kick off.
That began with an address to a joint session of congress.
Sort of background Labor Day and carry through a couple of weeks of the president traveling around the country saying pass this bill pass my bill today.
Well they did.
And they won't and imbued including a goodly number of Democrats -- are not in favor of key parts of his jobs agenda.
But it's a big part of his plan to run against what he says is a do nothing congress this power play welcome -- welcome back Charlie hurt.
And welcome now welcome back to the show.
Tom graves he's a congressman.
From Georgia.
He is a Republican.
Why aren't you working harder congressman the president -- you're not doing anything.
I'd say that he's become the blame -- in chief of recent -- I think.
-- when I think about who's doing the work I'm I'm from ranger Georgia I think I'm in Washington more than the president -- -- he -- yeah I don't know whose work and it's not around here but.
You know you look back over how the president has address his campaign season.
Blame bush for a long time riders is blaming bush but yet the Democrats -- control the house and the senate -- wins the presidency.
You have the presidency and the Democrats control the house and the senate and he's still blames bush.
The American people rolled out of the house so then he has to find someone else to blame and now what it's congress they get his party controls the senate.
You know -- -- going up my dad taught me that you know it.
We have to take responsibility for our own results and at some point our president needs to step up and take responsibility for the results that he's deliver for the country.
And yet they haven't -- good results and so he find somebody else to blind.
So -- president's gonna do today in -- and we're just getting what he's just landed Air Force One has just landed up in Albany.
Is he's going to come out with a repackaged version congressman of what he'd put forward in September.
That is basically -- to -- with the -- with an overly broad -- calls for higher taxes on top -- in order to finance more domestic spending.
And he says that the economy.
He's getting better but it would be getting a lot better if it weren't -- obstructionism in the in the Republican House.
Are you what do you how do you guys -- -- that you have.
Response.
Well I mean it's it's pretty simple.
If he -- were obstructing him growing messiah as a government obstructing for.
Allowing him to have higher taxes on Americans all across this country been absolutely we're going to stand in his way because we're about pro growth.
Pro jobs.
Packages -- -- if he's unwilling to put -- something that.
Meets those criteria and lessens the tax burden lowers the size of this government and now promotes personal responsibility is to have a hard time in the House of Representatives.
But that's what the American people asked for.
They're tired of this ever growing government in a government that is creating.
More dependency from the American people on the government and his own what's his his own slide shows shows that that is his agenda.
He wants -- to be addicted to this government in the Republican.
-- stand in the way of that.
Giuliani course as you as you well know.
Is the much mocked and much -- need to slide show about a young woman and how she would benefit from President Obama -- Been in this instance suffer cruelly under Mitt Romney who also doesn't like dogs I think they got a dog.
Somewhere.
Congressman -- we thank you so much the pride we give you the pride of Wharton county Georgia Tom graves we thank you.
Thank you.
OK Charlie hurt.
Let's talk about.
This issue the Obama campaign has a new ad out basically that it is at eight compressed version what they did.
And you know this what they did was they took they took a fifteen minute or so documentary that was the kick off of the kickoff of the third kick off of the fourth round of the fifth whatever.
Swing of campaigns.
But they took this video and now they're chopping it into different pieces for different -- the one that's out now starts with it looks like the beginning of -- horror movie.
It and it starts with its black clouds and Palin people and they're trying to -- -- people -- panicky feeling that folks -- During the panic of 2008.
When they elected the president.
And then basically saying hey look.
It's not ready.
But it Beagle a little bit better word for these Tea Party people they show of course they find the they finally -- -- bunch of Tea Party people they can find.
And like show by marauding towards the camera like a bunch of zombies.
But can the argument work for the president where he says.
Things were horrible.
We would be doomed right now and in fact we'd be getting better a lot faster if it weren't for people like this Tom graves.
You know I don't know you know it is the oldest you know campaign trick in the book we have tough record to sell you have a point 1% unemployment -- also accused.
I just you just attack and blame -- you know there's somebody else it is in this in this larger issue of blaming congress and attacking congress.
It isn't I mean.
It's always sort of you should sort of think twice when somebody does it but oh my goodness in this -- You talking about.
A president who enjoyed overwhelming support.
By his party in congress.
The -- -- -- two years of his.
Alleged.
Rain.
And he had -- a huge majority announce any near the extra proof majority.
In the senate.
You know at one point it was and then and then it ticked down 212 shy of cluster proved.
And and he's still going to blame congress for for his -- this sorry.
That doesn't cut it.
Charlie hurt is allowed to myriad -- but cannot own a shotgun we thank you very much for being with us today.
We will also share with you I -- where a lot of conservative viewers apparently including Greg -- Apparently agreed with Sally that the president should do exactly what LBJ did and burned his hopes for real second thoughts at bats there on the hunt with Jonathan Hunt is up next and now as we like to do every day we want to leave you with the word from our -- -- It's it did bring down the government's austerity -- on the governance in Portugal in Italy and Ireland in Spain and in Greece.
But you can slow to change the leadership on austerity but you can't go vote against mathematics.
