Shot as always gonna say things -- only -- a it was more intrigued by our words you said relative to the dropping in on the convention.

By the vice president to take to -- -- to call for shots.

And that's been revised.

-- One of the things that I think you've been speaking on a regular basis.

And I think the American people wanted him orbit and that is the money problems of this nation the economy and how we get it together with -- of these candidates and -- is comes to address that.

And not to assume that the people stupid not to assume that this food is -- to hustle that they don't they don't understand prices of gas joblessness.

If they continue to believe they can feed them the problem we have a good -- as the of the bad guys.

In nations.

The president needs positive news.

But did Clinton do -- and worked with their problems.

To say how can we get welfare reform how can we get.

Some other kinds of things we need to do to balance their budget and do it reduced the cost of government.

He couldn't do it by himself and that's one of the things that this ticket suffers from.

Oh well of the president's plan it right or wrong let's discuss what is good a -- one.
