But I was worth it but he is a class that course all that -- migrate a belly of the grandson of the great FDR.

Himself and James could -- -- that I would stake do you get -- your grandfather because.

I did say leading up to you that this is kinda like the 1936.

Convention that renominated in ultimately the American people reelected in its.

-- that.

This big chance we took on big you're more involves.

You would argue helpful government.

Was being widely criticized by Republicans.

And the recovery wasn't quite there yet and and -- He sold it to Barack Obama well Neil first of all you're definitely worth it.

And I -- it.

Is that what you had to go through it and if you don't even want to know talked about -- that this won't allow people that I had.

I think we have -- times overdone and and then I think we -- all the way the other way I think president Obama's entering his back to the middle that's.

DR your granddad -- -- Barack Obama wanted to.

And I think you would think that he was facing the same kind of tough odds that my grandfather FDR faced.
