I know the president has actually stopped the Bush depression. I know he's created 4.3 million private sector jobs.
I do think the president has got to make this much more about the future and much more of a contrast between his vision for the middle class and what he, I think, will couch, describe and I would, as Mitt Romney's vision for an elitist…
If you say he got rich by laying people off... boy, they don't like that.
Elections are always about the future not the past. It is very difficult for incumbents to understand that because in most other jobs when you're up for renewal you say, I did a good job.
Mr. President, you need to tell folks that you understand their pain, because you've been there, too.
It's astonishing to him that Congress won't do something to help government add more teachers jobs, add more police officers, add more firefighters.
He has the American economy and private sector has created 4.3 million jobs in the last 27 months, since the recession ended. That's not good enough.
He would be better if he left it to government in the abstract as you suggested and not just specifically teachers, cops and fire.
A union member who votes for Scott Walker is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.
I don't like all the money coming in either, but it is great to see people out there and fired up and exercise their rights, though. I love seeing that.
