Don't like the direction this country's going all according to our next guest it's not the president's fault.
It's yours Craig cartel is the author of the twelve step guide for the recovery and Obama voter interest slaughtered here -- -- Internet.
Yes some blame big government I had some blame big business I blame -- electorate what what do you mean by that.
Well we have a government that we deserve army in them the American voter went into the both in 2000 made an elected this man president.
And to really.
OK we can blame him to the extent that he has not fulfilled.
His job and a proper way -- it but after a who's responsible for -- we the voters we the people.
-- don't you -- in in large part it was mainstream media that did not -- him the way they're -- Mitt -- this time -- but where -- the voters to the to have make that -- -- all right let me ask you know because you're one of the voters.
I was looking for Obama small government -- at this former community organizer I was a leftist sorry I demonstrated -- against -- the war Vietnam and I get.
Why is that John -- Abbey Hoffman and I was out there on the left and the friend tonight no longer am but I'm a limited government guy and I was give somebody took.
A managerial technocrat to go -- there and run the government for four years and instead we got this guy who is himself an ideologue and but but it's our fault it's not -- we can blame him if it weren't for us he would just be some obscure constitutional or -- and Chicago.
You can you say the country is in denial over having elected him.
Yeah I think I think visible -- I've identified.
A whole set of addictions that this electorate is is prone to one of them is definitely denial and witches.
You're you're in our mind is saying you're out of mind.
Move along here or nothing strange nothing -- just keep going.
And as long as we -- in denial about the issues that we face the -- the overhang the fiscal overhang.
The deficit national debt then we elect this kind of candidate.
One demographic that to help the president.
Then senator get elected the Jewish vote in this country but when you look at the recent polls you look at monetary support -- -- doing so well right now why is that.
I think two factors number one the economy.
Jewish votes.
A very active in entrepreneurship and small business and this -- a president who just last week cut was attacking.
Individual initiative you did not build that in this is very offensive to Jewish voters because they're small businessmen just like anybody else.
And the other issue with them is just came up in the in this -- recent.
Barrage against mr.
Romney.
For his comment that Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
I -- Barack Obama came out and June 2008 and address the American is Republican -- committee in Washington said.
And I my my firm conviction that that Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and -- they're attacking him for it and this -- not so well so well with Jewish voters.
-- Craig you feel the Mitt Romney's gonna wind up with a lot more support from that community then John McCain did four years ago -- I think several you know remember it.
39% of Jewish voters voted for Ronald Reagan -- 1980 this notion that the Jewish vote is just in the Democrats pocket is.
Not true.
And I think we're on an up trend of Jewish.
People turning Republican.
It went from.
11%.
92 -- the Clinton.
216%.
For the first.
Bush.
24%.
For the second bush okay and that dropped just it's funny 2% for mr.
McCain.
We're an uptrend here I'm looking for something like 30% of the Jewish vote going for a Republican in the cycle he has written the twelve step guide for the recovery and Obama -- prepare how we think -- much to divert welcome.
-- right to look at the.
