But first on the heels -- President Obama blasting Rush Limbaugh and Fox News.

Democratic senator Mary -- -- taking to the senate floor taking a shot ever.

-- -- -- I had not going to keep cutting the discretionary budget which by the way is not.

Out of control despite what you hear on Fox News.

It's.

So just trying going to continue and what did they get out of former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich joins -- nice to see is there gonna do with it.

Problem apparently at least President Obama and senator Landrieu -- -- put the straw man up there other apparel adamant Fox News is their strong brand.

Whether they're very different.

Arguments -- -- -- argument with all due respect and semi under whose -- The idea that.

Discretionary spending is not too high.

The idea that this government's not too big the idea that the deficit is in too -- and this is not a Fox News problem.

This is a Washington politician problem and I think they can.

Try to find somebody else to blame all they want to.

She's got to go back consequently she's failing as a senator to do her job by the way in and it in the senate which is not passed a budget for three years.

-- not stand though is both the president calling out fox and settle Andrew Cohen at fox and even though Fox's that they owed the most viewers.

As -- number one cable news.

Is that it's -- universe in a 300 million plus country of course they're now eligible to vote summary underage.

But -- and we have three or four million viewers and at a given time.

And why they show -- -- -- so terrified that the keeping up Fox News but -- what is so what's so.

But it -- there's an impact on my feet.

Then they are so used to having.

An elite media.

Which protects them.

That it drives them crazy to have somebody who stands up and tries to explore the facts.

And I think they also believe they have a chance to browbeat fox and to -- -- -- -- -- sort of show -- -- -- To behave as much.

Like a -- -- Supporter as solid tells the media has become.

But that's not the -- and are not going to do that a minute that they can do all the what -- costs out the other where we just sit him look like you know.

Do we really get under their skin that much we what is it about our you know our work and -- I know they think think our work is bad.

You know but you know we call them on on things and.

It gets under their skin gonna president Obama's case is -- second approaches he really operates in the world based on on.

So Lewinsky's principles for radicals that he needs an opponent.

He needs the other.

I think that's it because it does this mean you know and and I don't get -- senate is -- random also -- -- but Fox News has been a big enemy.

I think.

-- The truth is that there -- very frightened.

That the core of the American people will look at the details of what's going on.

I'll decide I've got -- give an example.

John Boehner has come up for this proposal that if you don't pass a budget they'll get paid.

It is all of a sudden struck a -- out there hit a nerve and they did Mary Landers the world haven't passed a budget for three years.

I now go back home where more than three overs for Americans think you know connect going to be a -- we shouldn't -- that's a pretty good idea.

That is not where Barack Obama wants to go.

And I think he is really concerned.

Not just Fox News were about talk radio and about the conservative blogs that there's this world out here that he can't control.

The communicate to the American people who as they learn the facts are much less likely to support his policies.
