We begin with President Obama President Bush together there at the White House last week occasion was the unveiling mr.

-- portrayed which sparked this back and forth.

Georgia -- always remember the -- hosted.

For all of living former presidents before it took office your kind words of encouragement.

Plus you also -- me -- really good TV sports package.

Also please mister president.

That when you're wondering these -- as you wrestle with tough decisions.

You know be obligations this portrait I ask.

What would George -- All right now.

Body language -- -- and a couple my observations.

They both read off the sheet rhinos are prepared remarks what do you have to prepare and parts.

When just those little things I don't know if keep them on -- make sure that there -- -- funny.

But you know what the funny thing I want about a bomb as -- -- -- -- he -- -- -- but when he delivers the joke he turns to the crap.

Back when bush is out there I felt like he was still on office like -- so confident he's standing at the podium he's making jokes he feels -- -- that -- mischievous smile on -- did you see any difference.

Between the two men in their delivery of the funny -- you call it right was there any difference they both are masters and they don't how to do that.

Was any difference now I think that they were both kind of on norm so to speak the only difference I saw was really in and -- app that -- where there was an issue the handshake with us last segment.

Okay the handshake said -- Well it it must present you're -- -- -- got out the right talent behind closed he had his hand on top.

And he does a pound bull by pulling -- and and then.

Patting him on the back that's what he did to me to Barack Obama did that to me what he -- -- right now what that he's put his hand on my shoulder and I start -- applying disarm.

-- to -- and should know there's a lot but he -- put this in initial that's the power moon right well most presidential position themselves so there and we'll be on top so they look like the dominant once begin let.

But then taking -- a step further because George Bush is very powerful he then patted on the back which says hey.

Yet I'm enjoying my life and frightened -- but he does to his dog back.

He's don't know when it's -- That Axelrod hit a lot of -- time tonight.

He gets -- right he gets heckled at an event I guess this was in Chicago and -- Boston and Boston got.

Romney economics -- -- it worked then and it won't work now.

I went back.

It's.

If there are members of the news media who want to address questions to us.

OK now.

You know I if I ever get a handle it happens once in awhile I -- engage at all I just ignore them should even if that's what you should do what he couldn't talk about that -- no matter wanna.

It's only eight.

Did he do -- -- he was fine I thought the sentence was a little bit ridiculous but what I found to be interesting with the backdrop of people behind and so they're all standing there and when they pull back a little bit further you'll see that you see all the man standing up you know -- arms folded up front look at the woman in the yellow see how she touch -- Clark.

She starts to get a little anxious.

The next scene when they're really chanting -- I want to watch her she now has a piece of paper in front of -- just like and then says she now covering herself up as well edited and now it's -- ever to play any it's never pleasant to see this kind of stuff.

And it shouldn't happen now.

Mitt Romney was asked about that don't.

I've noticed now that we've -- to a number of events and you've been with this as well -- -- -- most of the events I go to our many of the events I go to their.

Large groups of if you -- Obama supporters there heckling -- panda at some point just say you know -- us for the -- us for the gander.

If they're gonna be heckling us what we're not gonna sit back and and play by a very different rules.

All right so there was a -- apparently and I didn't see it but.

-- Think we're when he brings everybody into it and the only place I thought he lost power.

It's when he said I'm not gonna sit back any -- his shoulder -- what he almost took credit for -- I don't know if you wanna take credit per cent and -- out yeah.

I'm not that was more that's and that's why I thought a little bit bizarre that here -- a few seconds you'll see those shoulders come up a new single -- has come up you lose power because what you're doing is actually making yourself a little time.

So you shouldn't be shrugging -- she shoulder should maintain.

As mine do -- come back to me on camera please and I just want to children.

The shoulder that it's important that that yes people like this yes no definitely that's kind of like get young Frankenstein and Marty Feldman you don't wanna do I think without that that -- time Carmen thank you very much --
