But you take this position you take the focus -- the economy former Republican senate got -- Christine O'Donnell says.

That this is what's going on here Christine good to have you.

You're saying did it.

As it was before and it is now it is the economy but there's this swing voters who are.

Of sort of middle minds here either way what do you think.

I don't think so and if you look at some of the comments being posted on FaceBook even from within -- gay and lesbian community they're all saying.

Or at least a lot of them are saying the -- a little suspect and in my opinion this is a distraction.

President Obama does not have a record that he can stand on.

People are not finding jobs they can't find a house the heat in the worst thing that can happen for his reelection efforts.

Is it every day that goes -- people are.

Being reminded of this economic mess that his policies.

Have created in this country every time.

A month there goal is to put -- -- in her car she has to choose between gas in the car and food on the table.

What he's trying to do.

Is you know I think it's similar to -- ASEAN -- contraception.

Argument that took him off message and I don't think the Romney campaign we'll take the -- because governor Romney's got a brilliant plan.

Bold ideas that will restore the economy and President Obama doesn't want people looking at -- You're saying Chris and if you're Mitt Romney and he's going to be taking questions from reporters and a few minutes we're gonna cover that when he does.

You woods.

Not really dwell on this issue by his his official position has always been.

As it was with this president up until a few minutes ago a marriage as between a man and a woman -- keep restating that.

You know I think that he's been honest about everything that he stands for and and -- restate I don't know what -- do but.

I would advise you restate your position but don't let.

Vice President Biden get us off track because really that's where this all came up he made an off the cuff.

Remark on a morning show.

And then he had the White House scrambling that's our statement that's not our statement I mean imagine the circus that went on behind this means but how -- -- NASA.

Lilly Chris Iannetta we will hear from -- -- obviously listening to -- Ronnie when he does speaking more to the point when he takes questions -- -- That will be -- greater interest these are prepared -- at a campaign event but Christy do you think that.

Popular presidential debate you know how this comes up and it's -- in this tight credit runners -- I believe marriage is -- a man and a woman.

The president will say I believe that it largely to be the case is well but I and expanding it because I've seen that these civil unions.

Really don't go far enough how is that going to resonate.

When the two of them are facing each other in that first big today.

Well it.

First of all -- -- about one question in what will be indirect -- or whatever debate.

But this is where the responsibility lays on the reporters because what is the greatest threat to our country right now.

It's not marriage well some people would argue morally it is but right now it's the fact that our economy is about the collapse and you mentioned.

You know in in the lead up to this that maybe he's doing this to placate young people.

-- people are the greatest wines at -- if the economy does collapsed because in five to ten years when they're gonna be buying homes.

When they're going to be starting saving for their own children's -- -- The money is not going to be there we're struggling now imagine what happens when our -- currency collapses because our debt to GDP ratio has exceeded 100.

So you're saying you're seeing you're saying.

The better part of valor for Mitt Romney would be to say as little as possible on this let the grass and make a big deal -- this -- -- keep the focus on the economy.

-- -- -- The but the press has a responsibility.

To ask the future president of the United States questions about that that are most important to our country.

And I hope.

-- the media will stick to focus the economy.

Because right now what President Obama does not want to happen.

It's for young people to wake up and realize that he is sold them a bill of goods.

And what over 80% or something like that and the young people who turned out in 2008.

Supported him and I would say that president Obama's bitter and that support by turning the economy into the mess that it is now.

And down and what he's trying to do is say look at what I'm gonna offer you on this progressive hip guy instead of saying look at what I did to you.
