Good afternoon -- and let me -- let me take it off when you what did you make all about president Obama's speech overall yesterday was it as liberal and far reaching.
As many on the right and -- claiming.
Well the area of big government is alive and set to grow -- President Obama has his way so the -- absolutely.
So it didn't walk in particular stood out -- -- and as indicating that day he is going to pursue a liberal rather than centrist agenda.
Well it's it's as much as what he talked about and some of what he didn't talk about.
There was no mention.
Unemployment there was no mention of the debt.
There was no mention of obligation that we might have to the younger generation leaving that debt -- them to deal with.
There was no mention downsizing anything.

Get a clear message in response to what the president has laid out.
As -- on apologetic I didn't actually liberal agenda for the next four years.
You know what.
He will and make -- so.
And so that Republicans now have the responsibility.
To make sure they respond in a concise comprehensive.
A manner that is easily understood.
And clearly makes key distinctions to where the president wants take the -- Country in a growing government.
An -- in and in intrusive manner.
As opposed to relying on the individuals.
In this country that ultimately are -- produce the jobs are gonna produce government look.
It was clear messaging inside that that the good that the president was good put more money toward green energy.
And put that over jobs which were not mentioned.
And so the idea of the pipeline Keystone Pipeline.
Clearly that's that's not on the president's agenda -- that would -- He's an environmental agenda that he talked about yesterday and so we're we're a lot of the scene was so lenders in our future.
