come on, what's more american than apple pie? apple pie sales were not up 100% this year.state the question for you. what category of christmas sales was up 100% this year? and here's your final hint -- it is the only christmas shopping product category mentioned in the constitution of the united states of america. there you go, you got it. that's right. the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. and it is so not infringed in this country that gun sales were up 100% this season. it was the biggest gun sales christmas season ever. on the first big day of christmas shopping, the day after thanksgiving, black friday, we set a new one-day record of nearly 130,000 requests for background checks on gun buyers. and that background checks number understates the number of guns that were sold that day because one background check allows you to buy several guns in the same store and because many, many guns are legally sold without any background checks at gun shows and elsewhere. no word yet when business reporters are going to rewrite the name of black fri

that is motherhood and apple pie. so when dr. hamre says there's broad consensus, absolutely. who could really argue with any of those things? in fact, if you go back to the bush administration's first qdr, it said pretty much the same things, but as we know that qdr lasted roughly eight to nine months before the global strategic environment caused huge shiftsz. this is back in 2001, and so what i'm wondering i budget information that we've gotten talks about reversibility. it talks about key partnerships. it talks about the kinds of wars that we're going to be facing or rather the conflicts that we're going to be face facing in the near future and i have some concerns because i'm in a think tank and that's what we do, we have concerns.

almost like apple pie going back to huckleberry finn. this is what we do in american politics.me the big city, new york and the wealth. will it work this time for president obama running for re-election? >> i don't think president obama is has ever been a comfortable full-throated economic populist. there's no doubt the white house and his re-election team is pushing him more in that direction. we saw the speech he gave in kansas a few weeks back. there's no doubt they are going in that direction. but the president is, as i say, no huey long. he's never taken up that mantle very comfortably. and he's also someone who continues to receive a lot of money, a lot of support from the financial services industry. he had a chance in doing wall street reform to really crack down on the big banks and didn't do that. i think he's going to walk a line that's more of a soft populism when it comes to policy, but he's certainly going to try to tie mitt romney to the worst excesses of wall street. going to try to paint him in the same way newt gingrich is now as a kind of gordon gekko figure
