Okay we appreciate that rich -- is the editor of national review.

And sometimes appears on FOX News Watch with -- -- on Saturdays at 2:30 PM posted by John he's a rock star some warnings that this and we appreciate that consider.

-- -- and I'm doing great President Obama took a look at or at least his campaign did at a New York Times poll.

And it sensed something but -- we saw reporting about it there's something else you wanna talk about -- with.

Yeah -- well first of all this is just the background as the New York Times poll that came out yesterday shows Romney leading Obama 4643.

And share some disturbing numbers on gay marriage further the president the most -- Notable one is at 67% of people think he.

Shifted on gay marriage for political reasons.

And -- for me that the most astonishing thing about this entire matter as the -- in New York Times did in conjunction with the CBS.

Aaron -- a lot and notable findings -- it was new Z or drove a lot of discussion in the Blogosphere.

And in the New York edition of the New York Times it was on page a seventeen and not even on page based just on page a seventeen beneath the -- On page a seventeen so that to me -- that's another instance where the New York Times just kind of acting to protect its readers.

From any negative information about the president speaking at a debate about the methodology the presumably.

The New York Times believes in the methodology because it came up with the methodology so that it would downplay.

That this hole is a news judgment -- that doesn't -- a -- -- -- If I'm just curious when -- You as an observer and an analyst's take a look at something like that and and you find that to be -- case in your opinion is there any other possible reason why would be on May seventeenth -- Well.

You know now in the national -- there was some navy and in the air conditioned there is something.

A huge local story that will lead the newspaper I and I wasn't aware of I threw away my copy -- -- Yesterday evening we could we -- investigate this further by -- seventeen.

Beneath the fault is just it's astonishing to me and then and then you have it via.

That a lot of the political community that still just can't wrap their heads around the idea.

This is actually a really a real horse or is.

And President Obama is really vulnerable so if you have a poll that comes out like this does not that different from a lot of -- -- we've we've seen in the last.

We herself it's a little different in that and you know Obama's 43 is a little lower -- some of the polls show Romney leading you know it's more like -- 4846 or something like that.

It this is a really close race in this president is really vulnerable and this poll may be a little bit in and out liar who knows you know I'm not -- polling expert that is -- generally telling us the same story we're seeing everyone else is just taking a long time afford to -- in the president's actually vulnerable because the media so vested.

And it's an area that Republicans have shot themselves in both feet coming out of primary.

You know on and talk about if you want to talk about ratings that it probably.

Were points and -- and when it's tight with.

I'm so yeah yeah I didn't Iranians to win that's the right thing you need -- -- -- nobody watches inseparable and it's fifty points per.

It's doing it's it -- it at in the third quarter and it turns away there -- out there that it organisms.

Here it watch the game now.

They're Smart they -- -- who I think it's but anyway up.

I mean I have read that that newspaper readership might be down on right now.

-- business to do list of the president announced for congress I news from my husband's.

-- -- Half half half.

I'm unfamiliar with none I just got married.

The last few years I learned a lot about the -- illustrate -- -- He called -- to do list that's a little bit -- bit too aggressive.

Apparently it's the end job that you call you might see it yeah.

I -- then it's into the left and then sometimes it's better do lists better than Mac and then the anyway well on.

Couldn't -- live this is part of the -- the president's you know he's been at this for a long time now let's betraying.

Earth that congress as a do nothing congress and especially for Republicans is there's nothing but obstructionist.

House Republicans say look we -- -- Various jobs related measures that go to die in the democratic senate which by the way hasn't passed but didn't.

Three years and Anderson is speed and a ongoing debate I think -- one of the themes we'll see emerging eventually bring the Romney campaign.

As look if he didn't like the last two years of gridlock.

Don't send exactly the same players back you know and they're Republicans are very likely -- -- -- house secure reelect President Obama awaiting any yet.

It's what you pat are the last two years you have more debt confrontations.

And showdowns between John Boehner.

And Barack Obama if you want something ever really done at least give us a chance elect me president and -- and -- -- -- are.
