You now -- put.

That element number four up about Greece so we can have a brief conversation before we turn to -- predictions about -- Europe so.

Got a couple of videos coming up now.

00 I'm sorry -- -- watching here.

Okay we're what would I would say I had thought we -- really at some sound.

I would say that in the short term this was good news that the conservative pro bailout parties want.

The bad news bad news which is -- when we're talking about before.

Is the rally on Wall Street and in European markets dissipated very quickly.

There's no confidence that a bailout can be done -- and it raises huge challenges for the president.

This is this -- visited Johnson said you know this is like the -- that had to fight with every -- springing trying to figure -- the great collection was very close.

There's little left is almost one and my god they probably don't seem to have their field but they almost won this election.

Then today Spain wants more than just too many things happening but I do wanna say something New York Times this morning on the front page what does -- say.

World events the complications of Obama's reelection.

For months we've been saying that much of the Obama campaign.

Is really headquartered in Europe and in what's going on.

In that economy and that's what they've been paying attention finally someone acknowledge it probably give credit but that you -- that.

Romney yesterday on face the nation saying.

I'm not -- I'm when I'm president we're not going to be bailing out the European Bank mark -- yeah.

So he's sort of playing off of this even though we haven't been bailing out -- that the men has been bailing -- while the president doesn't run with that so.

Burnett he'll still be there he can still bailout from Europe after -- -- You know my own take is that it is very sad.

That on something like Europe which involves a global problem.

Romney plays politics and says we're not gonna do anything when he knows perfectly well we have to Obama.

But Leo we ought to do want to have a -- -- we haven't done it we ought to look ahead what if Romney wins next looks and we can.

In the future because he's gonna what's gonna happen what's what is your common target on my right.

-- is it said that he couldn't say we've got you know we all have to take a stake in this we will have responsibility.

-- -- leading businesses the United States just -- leading from behind and then getting on the phone secretly bit invading the German prime minister Merkel to please.

You don't bail -- Europe for us because I I'm I'm I'm in trouble here at home is not working let me turn quickly to.

Predictions.

John what's what's your prediction.

Why predict at this -- that that.

We're about to get the Supreme Court ruling on obamacare and I think they're going throw out just the individual mandate.

It is that could be better good for the present always that we got to decide that that connection you pivot point.

I heard some OK I think your -- right now pat what's your -- my prediction is the immigration means we saw some of these other.

Short term gain long term pain what is in being baked in the cake -- take a look of -- president will -- do anything to get reelected.

Regardless of what he's done in the past -- regardless of all of what -- frank.

And my prediction is that governor Romney ultimately certainly by the -- will endorse Marco Rubio is more limited version.

Of the DREAM Act because I think he and his strategists.

Understand that they cannot be in a position where they are taking an extreme anti immigration if he doesn't actually -- for vice president.

Which I don't think he will I think it's more likely he'll pick Portman or somebody -- And do we think that president in his announcement Friday to preempt.

Marco Rubio they'll that he -- this is topical stuff they have a speech have to give this -- in front of Hispanic law press and he had a meeting this morning with the immigration activists the White House and you wanna just like he had to do gay marriage and -- extraordinary general sir George Clooney's fund raiser.

This is a White -- morning on tactics.

They are not there is no strategic vision in either camp.

-- would look green with there pats final comment.

Thank everyone John and pat and obviously myself for Tony and we'll be back or.
