Personal story segment -- to -- Obama loses the election there will be many many disappointed people in the show business community perhaps is the most disappointed at all.

Will be comedian DL he'll -- does not like Mitt Romney.

I spoke to mr.

-- last night.

So first of what you tell me what's your beef is with Mitt.

Romney I think he's kind of slow demand and then I just don't think he should be present but you don't like chimneys like.

Now -- why let let me there is a distinction between his qualification to be president which I think.

If the economy is what.

The American people are fixated on I think in large percent of them are obviously -- the level of this business acumen and probably addresses a lot of it but I just think.

He has to meet with seems to be a -- for people.

That he can't relate to make 47% anybody who says that to the -- who reports Emerson within going to serve in their -- Either he is is is clueless are never watched the -- I think those kind of things.

And and meeting him and hearing some businesses which has led me to believe that he's just kind of a little more distant or -- kind of lacks a lot of interest.

If he wins which she -- right okay would that change your opinion of the country.

I think the country is and it has had done a lot to the in my opinion to make me believe.

They did -- -- love the tennis that -- thousands and a -- to make me believe they did we have a lot further to go so.

I think that if he wins I'm used to president's I don't like me threatening juvenile bidder though I'll I'll I'll I'll.

They're doing nothing and let that.

There's not many things Saddam Hussein making bid are probably -- and -- -- disappointment.

-- not -- pin it on racism if if Romney wins I think that there's an element in this country.

Who despises the ideology and there's an element is -- -- race so I I don't know where the line exactly you know what percentage we can measure.

If he loses I think it has a much to do with their first debate and the -- Politics for a long time I've never seen that level of I don't know what that was I was like you guys you talk about -- Obama personally and I.

In terms of the way the first debate played -- I think and then -- Knew that it was going badly and -- you know -- comics I can you can kind of since when things are gone mad at me yeah make an adjustment I just can't waiting.

For the egyptians to have and indeed and I think it's changed the landscape of the election -- first debate were for -- President Obama.

And the -- debate for Romney had smack in the same thing two guys who were kind.

Trying to be.

-- -- trying to be proceed so I think he he he wanted to protected like ability and I think grounding in the debate last night it was kind of get kids and.

Now you -- joy today are my Italian and joy and -- very close.

That you thought -- governor Romney treated president like a servant study.

-- -- I think there's a certain level of respect regardless of what you like so why not that the that is afforded to the office of the president and I think.

That because he was trying to appeal to a lot of members of the right wing.

Who wanted to see Obama taking down a pain that he didn't mean basically but I didn't think he was Adeline had that's coming up on me.

Because I do I think that when you saw -- interview the president not that -- -- A -- but if the alternative -- to -- the president who can basically do eighteen minutes on your socks okay just.

Go wherever you -- so what's the worthiness of an interview like for the difference between interrupting the president.

Dozens of -- happens and letting him.

Can answer out somewhere in the -- probably -- -- accent but I don't think he was dissatisfied with either interview -- -- with a -- do you see my interview with George W.

-- actually it -- and it was -- same amount of interviewing -- just whoever you have to interrupt him because he didn't quite -- god -- but I'm -- the -- respect -- president changes that's and that's -- and -- I think there was -- I've never saying yeah I had never seen.

The level of disrespect afforded this president and all types of has -- call an ally here.

To a terrorist to a person who has America's you know that have America's best this is a.

-- Tradition and our history.

Where presidential candidates go after each other.

In a very intense way so I don't think you're president you -- racism because I've interviewed President Obama twice.

And President Bush street types -- and I respect the office of the president left.

But I was not going to allow that interview to turn into any kind of propaganda for either man.

And I know people thought I was disrespectful for interrupting but I thought I had to to keep it on track and get my questions answered -- less work.

I I thought it was despair when I think a lot of people have at taking this president to task about thinking another that it was a bit of medical ran great in -- in his black guy that -- isn't as good tumbled off a cliff.

And that's my perception of it and so obviously.

I'm going to be much more sensitive and much more protective of him and ultimately would be of any politics all right thanks Kevin -- as a major blessing -- to put some.
