I like I telling kids is so our President Obama.
Doing the right thing -- -- to how holding a whole bunch of press conference is -- news.
A sort of availability ease with a reporter trying to.
Eight EL -- it was it it is the making me laugh when I was listening to President Clinton was so accessible perhaps it is too accessible.
You know this is what I'm damned if you do damned if you don't I mean you know I think it -- as a member of the media part of the press.
On the we want the accessibility.
And right now in an election year I honestly don't think there is.
Anything this president can do that somebody isn't going to complain about to be honest.
I'll at a and I think that happens with all presidents left or right by the presence if it's not -- off it's it's too much.
It I think the president's doing what he needs to do I mean is commander in chief he does have a -- country to run to oversee.
-- hopefully continue to improve all the while.
The campaigning for his bid to be reelected in November.
-- -- What what say you would that be beaten both strategies AM and it does seem as Leslie said damned if you do depending if you don't.
And damned if you get -- -- to any questions at all because you might need that we we -- the media.
Jump on any little thing that could be considered a gaffe and make that the big news of the day witnessed the Romney.
Tour of Britain Poland and Israel sure whether it's the president's obligation keep the American people informed.
And to answer questions he's our leader.
Now if you take into account what he promised and then what he delivered he's not delivered even to the press.
On his promise of accessibility transparency and openness.
This has been the most -- that's fine White House.
In recent memory.
So but I understand the president's position it wasn't for bad news had to make no news at all.
The news isn't good so their work there's no need to go out there be pounded like Jay Carney be -- every day which he's pretty much getting pounded every day.
Leslie if it wasn't a bad news at -- new -- -- tool for the president told combat.
Is that -- don't want I'll not -- to us very much.
I think my buddy over they're sitting next media and -- in the studio in New York would find bad news I always say.
That it Barack Obama walked on water Republicans with that was low tide but you don't you don't do more -- -- What -- let you know you know I I really I remember a lot of folks having their press secretaries out there -- getting the hammering.
Regardless of their party I don't feel the president is hiding.
I feel the president does speak when he needs to speak and that's -- the Press Secretary is therefore whether it's.
You know administration or others that we've seen.
In Republican and democratic administrations in the past -- mean that that's part of their job I don't feel the president is -- I don't feel that he's broken his promises.
Quite frankly Jay Carney is doing his job and the president can't spend 24/7.
Standing -- a briefing room and Washington he has other things to do and that's -- -- from campaign.
My guy like Jay Carney.
I like to watch him because it's like -- -- getting beaten up every day.
That's what -- -- I know I did open up for everybody of the matter is the president sitting back I'm sure it can't help but.
Tune in every once in -- he's actually coming a couple times to say Jay Carney.
When it went like -- -- like most Press Secretary Jay Connie will do just fine when he leaves on my hands I don't feel sorry for.
Any of those who stand on that podium they always get plenty of rewards in the end.
But talking of talking of policies and being up beat -- -- them.
We do -- Mitt Romney we have some tax detail -- from a man who doesn't give is that many details on many of his policies Leslie.
And the president is that I was saying it's a reverse.
Romania -- scheme Romney hood stealing for the middle -- to get to the rich I'd say -- clever little line.
Any truth in it -- really.
What it.
Is so many years of tax searchers that have not been released by little.
And I don't know.
There that -- You know I mean I mean come on we we we all know that -- top 1% of the 1% as mr.
-- you know Romney is.
They they didn't get rich giving their money away as Robin Hood did so Romney -- -- be thinning.
I not only think it's a catchy line I think it's perhaps accurate.
What we do look at the history in the private sector of -- and if we're gonna say well what other companies and other CEO's they're not running for president.
He is that he also was a man who said I'm gonna run the United States.
Not like a government.
I'm not a politician.
Kind of forgot he was governor Massachusetts all -- years about.
But there's of the Minnesota but around the country -- I ran want my businesses and the private sector.
How did you run your businesses and the private sector what was done what did you do with your money.
And basically if you ship jobs overseas if you closed down factories.
And if you help other countries create jobs by putting so much of your money in those banks you're not helping -- are waiting the American economy the middle -- Lower class for -- forgetting about President Obama the -- exporter of jobs in chief.
The XL pipeline is killed tens of thousands of jobs lost for America giving Brazil a two billion dollar loan it's OK to -- -- your -- to put your people to work.
It's not okay to put our people work so literal failure -- -- one failure.
-- it again this president doesn't live -- To what he promised the American people to do gas prices are spiking again foreclosures -- -- bankruptcies are high.
We lost our credit downgrade our credit rating.
-- please we can't take enough of the good news that this president has delivered to us we just can't afford it anymore.
We talk about life and luckily I henchmen senator Reid.
This guy hasn't released his taxes how is it possible that are every bit on the front of the whole entire life.
Got to be a multi millionaire how does that happen.
Glad I -- -- -- -- I'd look how we're at an intersection.
And we're knowing history and you go to the right.
You know senator Reid is not running for president and he clearly is -- dogs yeah who's been put -- by the -- on why he's not I can't run my henchmen then if you're gonna talk about broken promises.
If you -- -- talk about broken promises all I heard.
As a citizen of this great country in 2000 intent was that the Republicans need to be elected the Tea Party said this so well because we're gonna go and create jobs in Washington.
Where the job we're not in -- all I hear you -- then the bush Scott stated that the bush tax credits because the bush tax credits.
Our job creators you are granted an extent -- create a job it's they're narrow odds there were on the jobs where's the money on.
Don't know I'm not gonna go home and had a little -- and -- want you to chat.
Physically I'm not -- -- -- I'm alright enough of that I would get him.
