" six WTKK. That's so rabbits --"

" Recruits -- the America's eyes -- and -- out -- Barack Obama is always where. That I will execute the office of president of the United States -- always -- election -- All the press the president and -- the United States. Leo Sasha."

" You will not apologize for our -- nor will we waiver and it's the and for those who seek to advance their name by using terror and slaughtering innocents we -- do not get our Spirit is stronger and -- Broken you got a lot of stuff and we will -- do."

" We ask you don't write it wouldn't relax and not Diaz yeah that's good. Stick around. -- remember. -- We're ready to coordinate and."

" and let's talk straight here Morris could never work there is nobody's hardly saying this. Well. Joked that most don't. Remember there is doing -- rumors and I'd clients via certain it to our president. --"

" One is trying. Music player -- air. Moves on oil."

" Is Michael -- Boston's talk evolution. -- six night WTKK."

" Of course -- holy cats of the Obama. Inauguration Elizabeth Alexander or Alexandra -- the can never keep track. And by the way the -- still going. It has right now we just checked she still reading her job and then we bought a bag of apples. We drove in our car with a steering wheel. A man waves at my hat I am proud to be an employee of and a full surround my bulletin don't know appeal lovely and talented Jennifer Donahue the political director of the saint -- sunset of politics up at -- college again that even --"

" It was pretty cloudy with a really good Michael and Boston herald's own Joe -- we're glad to have you -- all right you're gonna say how does this for associate since the new administration new look -- border region Y Mineta has been two weeks yet I -- like -- Matthew. It's like a minute wait this -- you're ready to go yeah. -- I feel like as good journal -- and my helmet hey my Obama boxers are on right now real fancy looking legally I got into so happy I am the change I've been looking for and I I was embarrassed as far as eight years I had -- looking for myself when there are as I thought all. I never know there are -- are we."

" A lot to talk about -- lot of -- specific issues to talk about we've got stimulus package is talk about we've got Guantanamo -- to to talk about I want to start ladies and gentlemen with the big question what was tell me your impression your thoughts this week Jennifer. The moments that you'll remember what just happened in America."

" But let's it would gotten -- and 44. Barack Obama now here's I think really happened I think it's done it was it was late. I think that you know obviously we don't know the details about his governing style we do see that she is packing to the sent her. That their people to left and right around him but the he's decided she staking out senator that's a pretty good idea and a divided country. It's clear that. You know. He is. Very much like the person that people Matt there's not a sort of a disappointment. But he's got I think a hundred days to prove to the public in the media that he heard them. And that the change that he does doesn't over reach. So I think when you -- Nightmare. Confirmed. People are willing to overlook the tax issues they're willing to overlook certain things if this guy in fact understands that the first part of the stimulus bill for example didn't have regulation or. Teeth attached to it."

" I think I was actually I was I was fortunate to be off the airwaves swearing ceremony came in -- speech exactly so I got to keep my big mouth shut which was my column for The Herald this week was suggesting concerns that's right keep your -- right -- shut apps will watch what happens learn the lesson but. -- I'm trying to think of a byword you despite being down from the planet want to figure what this America place all about where's it headed. What I find -- you this I'm Joe and then in the -- what where is America headed now he's telling thing starting with the inaugural address which can we agree about a late. Competent but for credible can we agree on the speech."

" B minus speech probably it was a really good speech actually I did I thought Matt -- to do that for you -- at Intel well again."

" That's your -- was just modest at best you know --"

" isn't it to a higher ready yet. -- and he knows what he's doing he's trying to knock it down a little. You want the media carried down on the public carried on Republicans Terry Downey wanted to not write down I think when not to -- south pat pat -- is back."

" that if you if you are looking for mediocrity I mean you know could you had the poet who just drove -- people like and then."

" Aretha Franklin not her best performance. So it was kind of -- almost like intentionally will give Amare. You know our us see right Foreman striking it was a missed opportunity I think to really early defined -- on purpose to really defiant Internet. Well I think he was trying to may be some of sway some fear is that that there was going to be too much change too quickly -- it was a -- really talk more about the past and our roots and stability. And with the country has -- and we you know more than where we're going but just think that the problem is that. That brought Obama really is a simple that's what he has he's the symbol. And we really have is president Obama but the Clinton administration that's we have and I just think that at the reason that people embraced. Obama was because they were so. Bent on changed they wanted change he symbolized change he personified change there was no there was no beating Jennifer Donahue do you agree."

" I do think that he personifies change making the very fact that he was an outsider is what got him elected. I think he was less a senator than Clinton or McCain. He was less and Trent."

" Look at it it's hard to be less of the senators -- bronco bottle as a senator I'm not being mean you know. -- was there when their data if he was barely there he didn't pick any fights he didn't try he really start running for president his first day shall leave that. Didn't regret it appears that way and here's my question I'm trying to figure out is president Obama from it. It seems to me. We're in a nation in a top spot that needs some hard to things done. Has president Obama than anything through the during the campaign thus far as president to show you Jennifer that he's prepared to do hard stuff."

" He -- but it doesn't China and that's what we have all we did executive orders yesterday in some people said other -- is being bold but what is the deal. But it is not clear. I don't think he really knows exactly where he's going and I think in unusual unsteady from -- to get mountain which just mentioned you know you close gitmo yet there's no plan in terms of what to do with bikinis. How to prevent them from being released and getting back and read our observations it's actually -- even more vague than that it says we will have a planned right to close -- our goal is to close gitmo and so once again once again its symbolism on assault on interrogation he said we're gonna go to the army field manual now but right I'm not saying this other stuff does an okay we're gonna study didn't talk about it. Jennifer is this say it is is a moment America for study and planning or is a moment for action in leadership."

" I think it's a moment tracks in the leadership on the economy. And I think that he also passed the deal with the war -- and do what he said he would do in this other stuff gitmo. Torture rendition this is talking to the base you do not go from. Inauguration to three weeks later without thinking your base in some small way and it thank you is a small thing to say -- I you --"

" I'm confused about though is if you look at foreign policy for example obviously important and there is no clear message yet from him in terms of we were gonna go onto his farm policy during the that was a campaign he called. Hillary Clinton's. Quote about obliterating Iran if they -- attack Israel Saber rattling like George Bush and they make her secretary of state. So now the most the most critical the most critical rattling his Saber -- the most I ever regularly most critical urgent farm policy issue ray and and Israel and it's unclear with the administration's. View of this is and that's dangers that we only just started unit at --"

" Yeah that's true no I agree with them but it's interesting you talk about symbolism. And I think you always saw yesterday with the executive orders if you look at them they're almost all symbolic that they say we have goals to do -- to -- on the Middle East he calls Egypt he calls. Jordan he calls Israel's neighbors. Doesn't call Israel but doesn't call Hamas either once again the bold thing would be to call Hamas or Israel. He plays it nice and -- and the theory seems to be well because you look different from the last president suddenly Jordan a region to going to do something they were willing to do before. I haven't seen any indication that's the case."

" I don't think there's an indication there's that that's the case necessarily but think about that aspect he has to think about right now he's got I'm not alienate conservatives. On foreign policy if you appears to be taking a Syed. On Israel and Palestine and Hamas I don't think he wants to go there -- a -- of -- right now I think he wants to mention that show he he can understand that but in terms of actual action I think the economy has the comforts of."

" You would you agree I'm in his golf life beyond that you possibly. Played all sides of the Israel Hamas Palestine and -- electorate yet you get lucky and this is a guy who had a woman whose organization funnel money to Hamas. -- is prayer breakfast on Wednesday morning. And you could not find a word about it in the Boston Globe Democrat or in the New York Times and that's pretty darned amazing if it's John McCain -- a guy sneak in the back of the room who had once attended a white supremacist rally in thirty years ago. It would have been on the front page that this is this new moments where we are wary about the economy want to talk stimulus plan what you're expecting when you're not expecting -- lot of confusion because once again thank you also will Democrat that's standing reporting. Dole is reporting that Obama has a presented. A stimulus thing and we got Pelosi is planned who got a Republican reaction to the plan who got a semi senate conversation at the plant but the guy that what they call on the Reza trans pres abrupt. Plan Jennifer Donahue is the political director of the center for politics at Saint Anselm College in -- furniture and -- entrance -- I'm -- what do you do at one time hello Jennifer Donahue got political director got that New Hampshire institute of politics got it and -- shock ahead of the -- institute an hour long lunches and you are exactly as I cannot -- Michael -- it is -- that's a -- segment on 969 -- ticket."

" Why all the time. And Boston."

" Michael I am -- Thank god because we're gonna get airline candidate X I love this is like. Political forum for people who watch tennis -- I mean this is so delicious to watch -- just collapsed. It all my god was that a few minutes but the the something slightly more importantly then laughing -- the humiliation of the Kennedy is me having a job and you having a job and a double people who for some reason beyond my understanding still do have jobs Joe shock at the Bosnia Jennifer Donahue and political director for New Hampshire center for politics at Saint Anselm College. Jennifer let's start with you are and where the economy is now and their two things in -- work in one is Daylon. Which involves -- money the other is the economy in the stimulus package. What's going to happen what do you think weary everywhere should again."

" Well Monday on one level Obama's actually lucky that there's still money left from the original expenditure that congress passed through approved the next step. It because. This is an opportunity to actually put some some auditing and it said that if you're going to lend money to money to banks."

" Need some of the 700000000700. Billion bully thing I thought -- days save everybody right isn't he can't generate --"

" Now are are you not anger and I don't know this yes. I forgot let regulate my."

" Paulson and Bernanke -- near their muscle -- all promised me that we spent this money. We would save the banking industry banks serve on the verge of collapse just as bad as they were three months ago did the bailout not work."

" The bailout didn't work plan all it didn't do anything does -- economist yeah yeah -- and Tom Ellis who is the IMF chief stabilization. Financial stabilization expert of the world Cowell told me. That if they had just simply said if you. Lend this months to business flash consumers to the banks. Everything would be fine but there's nothing in the bill that says that there is nothing that requires banks. To do anything but create more liquidity in their own bank said that if there's some kind of run on money they don't go bankrupt. The other thing and I just -- to say this is that Paulson who is -- he was Goldman sat right granted it was based in Chicago but he was the CEO of Goldman Sachs he has a bested personal contrast. In protecting. Banks. What I think the country really wants and part of why Obama -- is they really want so this is the part where guy has the use but he knows but changed his tune well the -- help Obama I get that. --"

" Your largest tune at the feet of Robert Rubin who has done is a great job for Citigroup the -- in the stock down 80%. And finally got fired that genius from the Clinton era. Just -- how do it in the mail."

" Where is the bailout the newspaper industry that's now. -- there is at camp into between government pilot hundred Julie newspapers every day disabled radio as saying -- are -- math or flat on lineup right about my grandma brought -- the idea department where's the bailout for adamant -- yeah. Yeah man I am not honest -- American economist but I I'd like to be but. The to -- I honestly at this -- it's -- is already talking about trying to direct a lot of money bail money toward local governments was state governments you know it infrastructure. -- Big Dig infrastructure out how to -- old yet talking but that's during the break. Try to -- sees you this is typical democratic thinking he's sent this cash to -- pals and they'll spend it appropriately and more have to clutch governmental demo what happened and how -- have to look at well I mean the idea of."

" project. They're there is a divide here which is the bailout for banks and for the financial industry address 100 no obsessed with an essay by sixty economic call -- O'Neill tunnel and I do that I -- don't -- that I don't carry your -- are saying that fifteen big -- around the country wouldn't solve our economic -- If nothing else could make messages more competitive would put a lot of people to work and also pay a lot of people aren't working and has a good positive we tickets fourteen other states to build big digs you would then be more competitive with -- At -- for about Judy here. We'll talk about just shock and -- and Christians and don't you listen to Obama economic adviser Robert Reich talking about he is goal for what the stimulus package will do."

" I am concerned as I'm sure many of you are that these jobs not simply go to -- high skilled people who are already professionals. Or too white male construction workers I have nothing against white male construction workers. I'm just saying there's a lot of other people who may have needs as well."

" And he goes on to say that while we -- the losers. In people with skills we don't want them to benefit and those evil white people we also going to pick some winner."

" There's I have suggested to you and I'm certainly happy to talk about it more ways in which the money can be. Criteria can be set. So that the money does go to others. The long term unemployed -- minorities. Women people who are not necessarily construction workers or high skilled professionals."

" Now I thought we were in an economic crisis Jennifer Donahue which -- goal was to save everybody because the wheels of fall apart schools are you know losing budgets -- unemployment is is a fifteen -- message is but it appears to me. The Robert Reich at least -- his allies in the administration want to make sure we stick with politics. Over the economy as usual picking winners and use what would your husband the economists say about that."

" I think she would probably say that that. That is the social issue being right exactly and that to fix the economy you have to focus on the economy. The economy is not affirmative action."

" Is Barack Obama do you that is not a -- a year in loans is you can look at these special interest democratic coalition about -- I gotta do the right thing about the political thing think of it that's way."

" Most of Obama's. Campaign contributions came over the Internet from people who -- helped us in the didn't come from special interests so right there he is independence from the very groups that. Lobby can and that is probably helpful. Can he deliver we don't really know but he seems pretty smart I would argue to say he's smarter than most of the people around -- shock I saw the Independent."

" Groups or supporting Obama in The Herald this week people page after the SE -- U logs show they feel no vested interest the other is -- Islam minorities already catering to the unions blindly without any consideration to what the impact on the market's decline is going to be. Case in point read -- New York Times the treasure sectors Collins but China. And their mom monetary. A manipulation and intensely a trade and you know at least 200 confronting them aggressively aggressively entry in the Bush Administration -- was."

" large trade down right in and once again a lot of things ahead about China that is is the right time to be slowly and trade down solid were -- right so busy already really you've got a customer you're you know his love it and the market well and watch. Are you kidding me yeah -- with kindness opinion on it that's what concerns me Jennifer is I don't."

" I think most rational people know to stop that needs to have to stop the need to happen is we -- we have we have way too much money and not nearly enough wealth. And so because bush and -- Greenberg -- shrewd money yet amazing how he -- I'm pushing Greenspan threw money in the system they just in the paper over problems so we've got way too much cash not enough wealth. Way too many young people. Collecting checks but don't match what the value is they can get to this market that contraction a tough time has to happen. I just don't see present Obama. As a tough time president. Here's what I see I don't think -- she was listening and writing the whole time and looking at me and."

" look at your help write a whole paragraph I. -- you know what and a fine keyboard I can say no and you can get a nice reckon look at your eyes right. As fast as you can talk and formulate an answer in want to keep fighting over overhaul Morgan is laid off."

" That's available and that is a very red arrow. Red -- problem and arrogance and I'd bet. It really and his son are truly out says convinced that everything is Obama is all -- ahead of the game you know Donohue let you know it's okay Mikey there's an attack."

" It this way. And -- aren't static unless -- Nebraska has got it okay."

" It says deep station installation. It's as writing interest rates it says. Recession better than. Writing the economy through interest rates and artificially supporting. Falling housing market. If we had not decided to ignore the fact that China. Hold so much of our debt if we hadn't let our dollar becomes so invaluable we wouldn't be right now looking at. Absolute 100% certainty of inflation soon he and that will mean your money's worthless so. You know some people think you know let's spend it before it's worthless right and that's not where we would be if we had just let this recession happened 67 years ago when -- started to show signs of being real no correction. No fix. And now or in a pickle and I think Obama is probably positioned as well as anyone would be to go far from here but this is a masks and there's no way address."

" That it Jennifer Donahue knows pigs when she sees an absolutely and -- She's people would director of politics at the note that the -- political director at the New Hampshire senator politics and has fit in films -- at what is the law into. -- Jennifer got used -- showed jogged up yeah Michael Graham coming up Democrats -- to T drink for taxes they'll raise the rate is either one is simply not -- them. That seems to work for the ill of Obama administration -- Michael Grant yeah. --"

" now I am a proud Democrat doesn't values they you know. -- Sam -- you know helping -- and families. Health care system so. You know those -- the issues that I beyond price support gay marriage -- sports com. --"

" Texas zero and explain again. The next George W. The locally in an articulate Caroline Kennedy will not the US senator from New York which is strange because -- video senator who was chosen not for her last name. So there's -- magician in New York taking some -- no political experience or accomplices whatsoever and saying I loved your last name. That's not gonna happen this time instead a nobody from upstate New York is going to be next in US senator temporarily Caroline Kennedy. What happened to Jennifer Donahue what happened -- she was America's princess she let it got -- and the what does that mean pale and her. I mean if you can't monitor the media. You gotta be -- the media warship -- they cycle -- celebrated I read Op -- Op -- about her skills as a wife and mother which of course are her only skills mean she's ready to be president Sarah Palin can only dream of the media coverage they Caroline Kennedy got."

" I think ultimately I I think that like you know yeah I know you feel that way but I think that she. She was rolled out horribly horribly mean you couldn't you know so right."

" Well somebody who's never done anything in her entire life to be US of one of the hundred US senators doing the right way Jennifer Goldberger."

" Well that's sound byte you're just playing our she picking up high -- born again ms. though is like a shopping list that would be something you tell your prison not to do. And the only prisoner would tell them to do it would be a non professional media consultant and I did she ever social secretary personal assistant ratings -- What ever was happening -- good it ultimately reflects on her and her not knowing how to."

" Joe shock a New York Post reports that one reason why she got -- did she ever was giving senate was she has. This is a shocker for modern liberalism tax problems. And many problems. And some think it -- I love people who want to set my tax rates and pass laws about immigration who hire illegals and don't pay the taxes I love that."

" you know I wonder whether those of the things actually disqualified her and Andrea and instead I'm wonder who was esteem would John Edwards because you had the national enquirer -- allegedly working on a story about her personal life and perhaps that might have contributed to. Her decision suddenly to to drop out and -- about Caroline Kennedy the one thing I come -- this whole thing with is. The reaffirmation that that companies should not be pointing US -- you got that made David Paterson and forget profiling courage awards and a new us government pro Pollack is your view profile and stupidity Award profiler confusion Award."

" the most him him I don't want it -- idling nearly chat with the zone's -- now I Gillis I don't think it's Patterson's -- adherents are saying and and it's a great thing to talk about I think Paterson is an appointee himself exactly."

" I was doesn't irresponsibility didn't know that need to know any better to get Apollo two point he wasn't elected so he says I'm going to try to make this the most any political process that's going to benefit mean any possible -- in a going to play Q would the media for a matter of weeks. On you know and he did was written had a witness -- and that's exactly and it doesn't --"

" Here is what we can learn from president Obama there is no shame in being good at politics when you're a politician. And -- I'm sorry but you're -- amateur -- every level you have an -- elect -- governor with limited political -- debutante friends says you know want to -- never served on -- school board wants the US senator -- I'm sorry I am glad we have a president -- at least good at the politics for a change in May disagree with politics but least he knows what the -- he's doing so what what the left now deciding qualifications don't matter experience doesn't matter -- Texas doesn't matter is there anyone who's not qualified to be the next liberal leader in America Jennifer --"

" Well that's what what the litmus test will be that that that's not good I mean keep in mind that governing is different from getting elected and -- and it's not just liberals who elected Obama that this was just sort of a landslide victory OK so this is yes it was an."

" 3% of the -- a year when a Democrat could not now lose scholars -- at all yet you look at it that way than George Bush had a landslide victory for years ago but I don't remember anybody saying that. Well there's a bigger issue has had to start this is this is interesting to me. President present Obama we like the guy president who it who may be great -- whatever but no executive experience limited actual elected experience. He's surprising I states we have a US secretary of state. Never had any state that state that young four and no no experience that arena whatsoever not whatsoever we just missed having Caroline Kennedy the senator. A comedian who's not even a good comedians can be -- senator as a liberal for Minnesota. Is there."

" Any anybody ever say hey look what I did an oven Mitt Romney now there are obviously you saw -- like hey -- not -- there -- any not an nanny problem."

" Like a worker problem and it -- accompanied about it in my eyes back what ever happened to people who -- shock who actually did something and then said look at what I did. I've earned the chance to trust you know it's only in my letter name a look at Wright married look at the TV show I was on and then --"

" I think they're all of making money the private sector basic I am just pretty much with the doing the -- Are not convinced that. That experience. In government are in politics is necessarily the only criteria for holding -- announcing that somebody who's been involved in politics the whole likeness there was indeed -- US senator as somebody who hasn't been. And frankly I don't know that -- at some congresswoman must -- do you look the president has no idea who she is is a better pick than somebody get about."

" On the iPhone any time let's face it I agree with you I really do -- because you know it what's happening right now that people like think don't fully understand. Is that things are really being reset and the expectations Americans over who should leader being reset. If you have values and you have ideas. And you lists and those are skills that are suddenly. Very important and that's okay I mean if we have a generation of young Americans we have a bunch of boomers and they make up the majority of the population present it to do and that's not so bad that suddenly your values matter. I mean Republican but."

" Let's ask it to NASA -- that idea has to be some -- there though there haven't oh yeah you have to take positions on these helmets that that's how -- it's a good example. Ideologically her own basis annoyed with her right she may well be a good representative that say new."

" We tell our values what are the Obama -- secure going to put them down the Obama values are. The things -- fought for his career are."

" Okay on the next question you're gonna need -- face he is truly I think you mentioned earlier than some whatever I don't agree I think he is there is he's a mirror. People see what ever they want to see that made him the value being in the right asking if he may be they need I feel good about you present Starbucks you make me feel good about myself and I've got a you're so well branded I'm I'm cool I support yeah."

" that's -- don't like -- to elected but it's a very very short lives -- going to carry you very IRS knocking -- you need but I would you be willing to -- that that dollar that you lost me when we argued yes I'd like now. What was that better tests. -- going to be the nominee -- yeah right I -- McCain and you gestured to get I don't know who doesn't matter was someone -- The Senate -- every goes yes."

" Well anywhere got a -- Hannah -- it does well I don't aipac has gone on economic stimulus right there -- react or stimulating the economy who has been a very touching that."

" I'm -- when you're talking I'm always asking myself that question I don't know when we come back -- that -- that Massachusetts -- here because I would argue -- the reasons why -- Jesus had made no progress the last two years -- government jobs -- private sector jobs -- the -- still -- has been no change is because we elected it completely -- experienced guy based on how he made us feel about ourselves to be our governor will -- Jennifer Donahue who wants you to know that she is -- political director of the New Hampshire institute for politics. I. -- I'm not a good deal -- how shall alter president to visit a ticket and Joe's shotgun who doesn't care that is say he works in the Boston Herald here on 96 none of you can --"

" Alexander wartime mr. prospectus. And."

" Please you've got Chris Matthews. He says the reason they love us here this drought has been does we support Obama. Oh what journalism is dead that the lingering legacy of the Obama era a a we're talking the Nazis politics web a couple of minutes while I have Joe shocker trapped in the studio Joe Governor Patrick. Said I'd probably -- this is what does the most productive -- one of the most like this pledges and history affect. A dark -- and -- Fagan said that they were the and indeed the descendants of heroes and patriot right at their heroes of pages. Anything they're doing a Beacon Hill that's benefiting anybody other than themselves."

" Well addicted to lawlessness -- happy that -- mesa preoccupied as a litmus -- continue to embarrass him very much legislatively. You I think I sit I talked to. Governor Patrick's people and they tell me that he's running free election. His poll numbers are great and and that actually hoping to have a democratic opponent. Actually can defeat dead opponent big doubt very much the Republican opponent they feel like this at a pretty they float things out like the whole new increases. Typical political shell game. This outrageous. Toll increase every dollar raised about it and then suddenly say well okay will be so that was raised the gas tax which is surprising given the Cadillac but you know aunt or an old -- all of these two won't cut government sale at Tom Menino City -- lay off 200 ops never gonna happen is an election year. Floats it out there and then is accomplished as well."

" Actually amazingly Jennifer -- you have 895% of the legislature is democratic get a democratic governor Mike is echoing in some ways what have you wash your right now a solid majority Democrats and democratic president and an inexperienced. Democratic president who got the job because I makes voters feel about themselves. ABC was I Massachusetts which is nothing is getting done what we expect the same Washington."

" But the possibility honest claiming getting elected is totally different from governing and that's the challenge for Obama is to take his leadership. Qualities that he's shown on the stump and actually leave these people and get them to do what he wants. Governing as a real talent and and we know that we've seen that in every administration."

" But Joe why it why don't as a guy who's been mass is now three years and I ran Republican primaries came from Republican state I would assume the Democrats need is rolling along here they ticket anything and they did something as simple as getting rid of the masters -- turnpike authority the worst run toll collecting organization in America."

" Well it. It I think that we make a mistake we sort of a look at Deval Patrick is a classic Democrat because frankly a lot of the Massachusetts Democrats I don't consider Deval Patrick -- one of their own. They -- an outsider and has not paid his -- coming up the ranks of shouldn't be governor and as a result there's been some internal tension if the very beginning so hasn't always been this kind of cooperative lockstep relates to for the governor but the legislature frankly right now is. Rudderless there's no leadership."

" I I couldn't agree more and think he's what do you party showed bush out of the box her out it's all -- rebellion -- the grand by. That there Redman can get ahead man that the poll was shut his pie hole. But the bald guy will get a French -- and then America can be a great nation once again that is the line that I will always remember from Barack Obama's inauguration general margin coming up -- ninety's he's not have to take."

" Thanks for downloading and listening to Michael brown. Come back -- Boston's talk evolution 969 WTKK. He is on line and on demand."
