Well personal -- let's put this a little bit of the tactical.

Frame if we could.

The initial -- by the Obama campaign on their ads last week was 83000.

Dollars.

In about five or six states which is inconsequential.

Outside of Ohio infected get into the did they -- get -- to five digits and it's been over 101000 dollars a state.

The latest stand today as a six minute video which will never appear on TV.

-- simply put it up on the Internet and hope to drive traffic to it so.

Which are as as Carl Cameron pointed out even the Democrats admit include a lot of foundations and endowments and pension funds and universities.

And they're looking for long term gains not quick games and -- has an exemplary record.

In a private equity is so bad why was President Obama last week.

Being hosted for big fund raiser among private equity.

Moguls in new York at the home of Tony James won the biggest private equity guys in the world -- this is bad business.
