Let me get back to the president because it is time for -- bash.

Many people are saying that the president.

Should not have sent the private sector is doing just fine and that he's completely out of touch if he thinks that it is.

Taken -- -- okay now this is -- wanna put on a different hat because I'm much more critical of the administration -- the press.

Administration went on to -- okay.

This is it transformation here that you love the administration.

But.

-- -- that -- Okay so.

And you know the immediate bent over backwards.

-- Mitt Romney's and like to fire people.

But they're also holding the Obama folks to a double standard arguing that.

Obama made -- correct assumption but -- framed for a so it's the media went after Romney totally but all they're saying is -- the president -- what he said poorly.

And so.

So that's that's a concern really that the media has sort of kissed up to you.

The Obama folks on that.

Also.

8 am asking you know if six governor Romney's out of two out of touch a -- hand -- it.

And it with the American people.

And now.

There is the statement that.

The president really.

So again that the press has been.

You know whatever any other is that.

The bush years.

The president and President Bush tried to -- optimistic view of Iraq.

They were told it was out of touch.

That is what it was in Newsweek cover showing that the President Bush was in a bubble.

But how come.

People are not.

The press is not doing the same thing how come with Obama I don't -- -- -- only one person well that's right we try to be fair and balanced.

When we see next cover.

Like we saw with President Bush in the bubble now I don't think we're going.

Why why.

Because I think that you know I do you think that a lot of -- are at war.

Prejudice it -- -- it went backwards and what people are saying I go out and one thing we always teaching now.

Is that it -- and I -- teacher interns in journalism.

It's it's not your bias.

That is throw something -- position tape is what you don't state.

That -- -- buys it it's you don't talk about what you go.

Come forth that it -- -- your -- what you -- let me go to a couple other written by Spanish things.

The -- the issue was in print.

They said.

This the book fourth estate media watch dog group they released a report saying that meant more often quoted in stories than women.

And the -- is.

There is also the house was -- all that Republicans for not talking about they're mailed.

-- want contraception.

It is looking at their bias around when.

So that's that's another thing interest and the other one is out there saying that President Clinton is really supposedly on there -- -- And really trying to -- -- President Obama with his gaffes well that is just being favored Hillary Clinton's -- Hillary Clinton.

-- and that's just.

I just think that that is the media looking for a story.

Well one day the President Clinton shows up at a fund raiser for President Obama and then the next minute he's making.

Comments about extending the bush tax cuts what is going on I think you have.

And older president.

Who is not necessarily watching what he says but I don't think it's purposely under and it -- Hillary Clinton in that job I mean it's already done the president is the nominee.

So you know Hillary Clinton wants to run and I think she -- in 2016.

It doesn't really help this president -- that -- What do you think -- on the president you know in addition to think.

Wouldn't -- right and people have different.

If theories is that the -- assume anything Clinton does is going to be very calculated but.

In terms of the political outcomes wouldn't it be better let's assume Hillary wants run -- sixteen bills inclined to helper wouldn't she be better off.

Trying to position herself as well as Obama's.

Successor than running against an incumbent.

Yeah Romney so you you would think if it was strictly to help Hillary yeah that -- want to help Obama I I think it's it's likely.

They can make a deal and make her vice presidential candidate now -- or or simply have a deal where bill comes out and and more full throated and careful manner.

Relays the talking points and -- -- keep Hillary on the short list to be the establishments.

I mean don't parents and we -- and mental health is -- a little bit like releasing the leaky faucet I mean remember with Monica Lewinsky make.

He's not a guy that is always on the street narrowing anyway it's.

We'll and I think some of these comments do reveal.

His actual.

Political philosophies when it talks about tax cuts and things and and I think he doesn't have as much of that.

Of the filters you said -- the elder statesman -- ex president feels entitled to give his.

His opinion and when he sort of pulled back into the fray he's willing to sort of be being the good soldiers but aren't what is it is unscripted moments right are are not as.

I have to leave it there but one comment before we take a quick break this one is from crash.

Don't forget it was Obama that said he wants to spread the wealth how's that working out for the regular show not just the isolated cases.

We'll take a quick break keep your comments coming you can always hear more about the media and the media.
