mr. obama no better over the course of this next year. he will still be boasting about accomplishments as he walks out of white house door, and most of us will still be asking, what in the world is he talking about? even thousand he brags about the economy, millions of americans lost, and abandoned by their president. with a year and two days to go, mr. obama has abandoned one was his few declarations, his promise to destroy the islamic state, remember? destroy it. which he not only has not done but he is not even bring himself to utter the name. it grows, syria after proclaiming assad's use of chemical weapon would constitute a red line that

would result in action by his administration, it turn out he really does not care that assad used chemical weapons, but he because nothing. instead of helping hundreds of thousands of syrian refugees create a safe zone in their own country or nearby. mr. obama exacerbates the crisis and compounded social and political conflict in this country. all this after mr. obama chose to strap a missile -- scrap a missile defense feel fo field for poland. you can imagine slightly pe

perplexesed. obama did you not' to work with congress. he does not try to make sense. because he knows the liberal national media will not hole him to account, he issues another fiat. and hapless republican leadership on capitol hill can only dither ask hope a lit of sparkle can land on them. so it goes. for one more year, and those two days, it will i'm sure seep every bit of that. eye. >> tonight of the obama kind. she wrote, to arrive at a contradiction is to confess an error in one's thinking, to maintain abdicate one's mind and evict one's self from the rearealm of reality.

architect of one of it, failed to discuss it last night. we will sit by and watch this president turn terrorists loose from guantanamo bay, that is his next thrill. and i think to a certain, tent we need to have a honest debate. it is not going to come from that side. >> i think that juxtaposition of th parties on this issue, are as wide as they could be. all of the -- talking last week, talking about islamic state, here is the president, does not come up much last night with democrats, none will say islamic terrorism. lou: they held a debate the evening before a federal holiday, they want to hide their candidates, i understand fully their motivation. those candidates, they should be in the witness protect program, they are not speaking

to issues, not forthrightly, you watch the republicans, you can say what you want about the candidates. but the reality is, the republicans are voicing real positions, they are talking about real issues that matter, they are doing it. there is an engaging debate about things that matter to the american people. >> i was struck last night, that questions were largely questions that democrats want to hear the answer to. not the country as a whole. >> like where do we get the money. >> they were partisan questions not questions for the nation as a whole. lou: ed? >> i agree, when a socialist candidate, stands toe-to-toe with a wha watch who was --

rest of lineup is consistent. now that carson has fallen back. there are about 20 points of all stragglers where will they go if they show up. lou: there is a interesting coincidence, sanders going after hillary clinton for $600,000 in speaking fee, trump going after cruz because goldman sachs back loaning the family a couple dollars, his wife works for goldman sachs. goldman sachs seems to be one of the most active, passive institutions in the country with a lot of money available. >> no matter what, it makes money. they have all pledged that next treasury secretary will not be a goldman sachs ceo. probably a good them going forward. but the critical thing, before a voter gets to vote, we're down to 3 candidates that

absurd, there is a long way to go. if people are willing to stay in the race it could change. lou: politics? getting expensive. >> actually voters getting to vote, and make the decisions as opposed to poll steres. lou: i am for that. that said, who do you am will win iowa. >> i think if -- if it is a traditional turn out cruz. a higher turn out it would be trump. >> i think it is the test of trump, will the people. he does not have a huge organization but a lot of people who have not voted before are those who are polling for him. let's see whether they turn out, if they do he wins. lou: i am excited to see as you say, votes getting counted. i can't stand it, i'll be patient. wednesday. >> thank you.
