there was only one mistake the homer by bruce. the nats xtra pregame tomorrow will be at 4:00 and the first pitch a little after 4:30. >> rob: you also have to score a run to win. you may think it's a mistake. the hitters are getting paid to get runs on the board for their ball club too. shairon did an excellent job. >> johnny: 0-9 the last four games willy has played in. he went through three straight sunday through thursday. >> rob: in the last few innings, harang has stepped up velocity against our hitters. now he's throwing a lot of sinkers and cutter, but they're all fastballs. he totally changed his approach to our hitters in the third lineup. >> johnny: that's the mark of a good pitcher to be able to do that and adjust the gameover all. >> rob: he's feeling it. you see him hitting that same spot over and over. he's going to make harris beat him to the field. >> johnny: drives to left field, pops up down the left field line, foul. six road starts, he's 1-4. he's been banged up a little on the road. 2-2 and two outs in the bo

bruce lights it in.hat was his 14th home run after last season. >> johnny: one of the interesting things about this guy from new jersey, he's an all conference tight end. >> rob: built like a brick house. he's looked like that since i met him down in 94 in puerto rico. we worked out together. 1994. >> rob: i was looking for a job. we were on strike. i was a free agent. i used to run the beach every morning. >> johnny: staying in shape just in case. >> rob: i had to prove i was healthy. the white sox gave me a contct it was worth while. i made great friends down ere. johnnyalex gonzalez now 1 hive 1 -- 1-4 double in the 2nd. nobody out. bruce at 1st. the runner is safe. slipped on the t right in front of the mound. >> rob: ryan tried to make a dn t the chance . ck it up. you're going toh him throw it before he gets the ball in his glove. he tried to recover a little bit ere. >> johnny: the error charged to ryan villone. >> rob: good save there by belliard. they'll try to figure out what to do defensively

only one bad pitch to bruce, the home run.difference in the ballgame. >> johnny: washington out hitting cincinnati 4-2. two hitters so far. johnson 0-2. .320. >> rob: we could use a double here from nick. >> johnny: out field play, johnson straight away. 1-1. aaron harang has racked up over 1000 strikeouts against the nationals career wise, against the franchise. he's only faced them one time here in montreal back in 03. he lost the ballgame. 5 inning, 9 hits six years ago. 1-1 to johnson. >> rob: i think he threw enough off speed where he had nick thinking off speed and speeds it up a little with 91. just a little tardy for that one. >> johnny: when you came in as a closer when you were pitching, i'm sure the batter is expecting nothing but fastball after fastball after fastball. nick almost took one to the right side. did you have to make adjustments? >> rob: i wasn't a big league pitcher until i learned going to puerto rico and learning to throw my off speed slider when i got behind. that's when you're pitching. >> johnny:

jay bruce on deck. in a rapidly moving ballgame tonight -- catches the outside corner for strike one. >> rob: bruce got a couple of hits tonight and a home run plus a double. >> johnny: off to the west and dropped it. no need to close the windows, keep them open. you know the guys from oklahoma. these guys from florida are used to this. some fans heading for the undercover part of the ball park. that guy is okay. he'll stick it out. good for him. shot to zimmermann. that's the catch. no question. >> johnny: second tremendous play that he made. bruce's two-run homer gave the reds a lead that they've held since the 2nd inning. >> rob: that's the difference of the ballgame. harang pretty much timing nationals' offense. >> johnny: three up and three down. we go to the bottom of the 9th 9th. elijah duke, willingham, belliard try to get the nationals back in the ballgame. - it's on. - oh, it's on, all right. - it's on. - totally on. jimmy, it's on. - it's on. - oh, yeah, it's on. affirmative, it's on. announc

and that i hope bruce -- the d.l.c. will continue to reflect under bruce's leadership. first, call me old fashioned, but i still believe that substance matters. that values and ideas matter. i believe that in politics, in the end, you rise and fall on what you believe in and what you stand for. if you stand for good things, for strong values and high ideals, for ideas that will make this country better, the american people will support you. if you don't, they won't. it's just that simple. the d.l. -- that has been the animating principle of the d.l.c. and i would argue the foundation of our political success. ideas we championed and you've had a litany of them today from national service and expanded earned income tax credit, reform -- welfare reform, charter schools, expanding trade, fiscal responsibility, modernizing government, all of them changed the -- changed america for the better and the american people rewarded us and our party for that. second, i believe in two values that are too often in short supply in this city. loyalty and civility. i learned loyalty by e

bruce has been struggling. a lot of guys have been struggling this year. >> johnny: if you look at the batting average, nobody is above .300. nix has the highest at .277 harang quickly falls behind. >> rob: overall they've raised their team batting average. about a month ago they were hitting .215. >> johnny: fired to 1st to johnson. gets him. we go to the bottom of the 2nd 2nd. 2-0 cincinnati. we'll be back in a moment. ú boss: so you've been ing a nice job out there on car insurance. elpiy ú gecko: aw thank you,n ing a nicesir. out there boss: but i think there are a few other things you can say about what a reliable company geico is. gecko: right. uh, well maybe how geico's the third-largest car insurance company in america? nice tidbit there. boss: exactly. and i've been thinking, looking a bit more businesslike might help too. gecko: oh my. uhhh, no it's, what's, what's the word... vogeico. 15 minutes could save you 15 percent or more on car insurance. >>> well the difference in ballgame is the

under bruce's leadership, house legacy lives on. the power of a good idea can still inspire our party and to transform our nation. >> 25 years ago, he had the courage to see it was time for a different kind of democrat. today, our party is stronger, and our country is better off. he was right. ideas are worth fighting for. that is as true now as it was when the democrat met a hope. >> looking back at his two terms in office, it would be hard to think of a single american citizen who was a private citizen that has had a more positive impact on the progress of american life in the last 25 years than al from. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, a former dlc chair. [applause] >> i hope everybody in this audience has a great deal of sympathy for me. i am sandwiched between a profound video about the life of al from, and president bill clinton. i am trying to figure what i can say that will not be said tonight, that will not be said about al from. let me give a shot at that. we're going to talk tonight about his championship ideas, his pa

host: bruce stokes to focus on europe and the world wide recovery -- recovery. in your article in "the national journal" you conclude with, as the obama administration ratchets up its dialogue with europe, it is time for a frank discussion about how such european nationalism harms mutual efforts to cope with shared policy challenges. europe will undoubtably countered that it faces problems created by american federalism. to be sure, insurance, professional services, and much of the public procurements in the u.s. are still regulated by the 50 states, a decentralized system that is not always in tune with the global economy. guest: it seems a strange way we both face the same problem. we are a federal system, created in, let's remember now, in the 18th century where states have great sovereignty. the europeans created a centralized european community after world war ii, but that had remnants of their national systems. those decentralize actor had difficult to play in a broader global economy we now live and. that is one of the challenges we both face, how we chal

bruce. 30 r.b.i.s. reds have only won 15 ball games on the road while dropping 13. their starting pitching staff pretty good e.r.a. 24-21 the numbers for the starters and 5-6 for the bullpen. . >> rob: i was reading an article they want to name their bullpen as weather and rose have done a great job for them. i did a nasty boy moniker from years ago. that was because of the stuff, not because we were angry young men, although we were, but -- oh-oh. >> johnny: let's take a look again and go oh my goodness. a couple. >> rob: i grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, he was from green witch connecticut. >> that's right. i was from the see you core ski aircraft, pratt and whitney. >> johnny: you were moving pretty good when you came out to the mound. >> rob: eh that silver backed go lil a can get across the felled. and the worst thing johnny is my parents were there, my family, coming down from connecticut, i don't know what got into me when i got on the baseball field. >> johnny: alex gonzalez with a shot to right base hit. bruce will make the turn and stay at second

it is his blueprint that he started and leaves for bruce and the rest of us to take to new levels and new heights which has made it possible for so many democrats across the south, midwest, southeast and northwest, midwest and even the northea northeast, to win and win ons that would allow republics, moderates and democrats to see fit to vote. al, i thank you because you made it easier for me in 1996 to love my god, to love my gun, to feel strongly about taxes being lowered and businesses creating jobs and at the same time believing government had a responsibility to equip people with the tools to compete and win in a new america and world. for all of us we owe you gratitude for all the perform success and personal friendship that we enjoy with you. but as someone who loves politics and making of public policy i daresay there are not many people in this city and many people around this country who have done more to advance the good in public policy making, done more to advance and find good people to serve in politics, and are not many people who have sacrificed more as ginger and all

mighty close to bruce, almost got him.two strikes.  bruce at .216. 14 home runs, 13 though off right-handed pitchers. and the 2-2. goals taking second, goals will go back to first, they have a bead on it and it's one down.  i tell you will a lot of ground out in center field. >> rob: yeah, when he did lie gentleman and willie is out there we have our fastest outfield, they can cover some ground offensively.  always have to find  adam though. >> johnny: yup. got to keep that battle in the lineup don't you. >> rob: yeah. and a lot of teams do that. guys are not gold gloves at that position and as a pitcher you know that and it's your job to do your job. and say "if this guy hits a ball down the left field line adam might not get to it" so you have to be supersensitive to not making a pitch that the guy can beat you down the left field line. >> johnny: speaking about the outfield. a little note about tomorrow night's outfi

jay bruce hitting from the left side. walked and scored cincinnati's only run back in the second. for  he had some troubles re went 0-17. >> rob: it happens, he is a young kid. >> johnny: the longest drought of his career. >> rob: great power numbers but he is on bases and whatever. >> rob: you know what, if he has proved he can play at the minor league levels what are you gonna do, send him back down? >> johnny: 9 strikeouts in last 10 games, .091 batting average. >> rob: a very humbling sport. >> johnny: it certainly is. here is the 1-2 to detwiler. high fly to left field and adam dunn has a bead on this and dunn will be leading off for the nats when we come back. another one-two-three inning for ross detwiler. it is 1-0 cincinnati.  when a major hospital wanted to add on to their benefits package at no direct cost to the company, their very first word was... aflac! aflac! find out more at aflacforbusiness.com . >> johnny: now let's take a look

he has made some amazing plays right there on bruce. another one on phillips. >> johnny: that is the first out here in the 9th. beimel to face alex gonzalez. breaking ball. inside for a ball. >> rob: and give him a lot of credit on zimmerman's hustle down the 1st base line even though gonzalez took out fi phillips. if he wasn't -- took out phillips. >> johnny: drifting back is guzman calling off willingham and willingham calling off guzman and makes the catch. >> rob: that is the right play. cristian has to keep coming and so he called off willingham. >> johnny: nats xtra post game coming up in just a couple of minutes. hopefully they will be talking about a nationals win tonight. 3-2 they lead with two outs in the top of the 9th. beimel has retired jay bruce and alex gonzalez and will face the 1st baseman, adam rosales. >> rob: nice. josh bard behind home plate. he wanted that pitch low and beimel hit his spot perfectly. >> johnny: beimel going scoreless in 17 of his 24 appearances overall. the veteran left-hander, breaking ball for a

bruce in the out field. >> . the corner out fielders will cover the most ground. >> johnny: harang had good days in oakland didn't he? >> rob: yes, he did. >> johnny: came over in 03. since he's joined the reds ball club, he leads in almost every statistical category. 68 wins. >> rob: he didn't pitch an awful lot in oakland. he was one of their top process ticket if -- prospects. definitely worth the trade. that pitch there, that should be a strike, used to be a strike. now you've got to make them bring it in another six inches. >> johnny: it's tough to stand up there and take a 3-2 pitch these days. >> rob: absolutely. that was the one thing fletcher had last night. as a former pitcher, can you -- i can work with that. 3-2 if it's anywhere close, you've got to be hacking. we've been complaining about the zone all year it's been tight. it's tough to complain the opposite way when it's loose. >> johnny: fouls it out. 1-2 in the nationals 3rd baseman after a strikeout last night. >> rob: it's been a frustrating yea

i appreciate that, bruce. speaking of being busy, i have to be back at the white house because we start our briefings in the morning with intelligence and economics. that was a joke. you can laugh. this crowd is serious. i want to do one point of overview, and then kind of and thentwo subjects, both education and health care -- and then kind of talk about two objects, education and health care. one topic is in the news dominant late and in people's lives. the other one is not dominant, but there is a quiet revolution going on around the country, education reform, led by the administration and our need duncan, top to bottom. -- and arnie duncan, top to bottom. am i to close? pmi you can do whatever you want. >> that would be great. >> -- you can do whatever you want. >> that would be great. if you have not seen the president's interviews that he did yesterday with both "the wall street journal," cnbc, besides killing a fly on cnbc, his basic premise is when he came into office, the economy of the last 20 years

bruce comes up throwing. short hop. still, willingham probably would have been dead at the plate. >> johnny: bruce has a pretty good arm. >> rob: not when you have guzman and gonzalez and zimmerman coming up. >> johnny: fouls off the first delivery. so, willingham at third and nieves at second. nick johnson at first. 2-0 ballgame. the best threat the nationals have been able to mount today. and there's one down. guzman grounded to first, singled to right and grounded again to first in the 4th inning. burton from the stretch. quickly ahead 0-2. >> rob: yep. likes to go inside on the lefties. he is doing it with nick. got caught trying to throw a breaking ball. didn't get it down enough in the zone and nick jumped all over it. >> johnny: guzman 5-13 in this series, include ago homerun. -- including a homerun. ing a homerun. -- including a homerun. 0-2 pitch. down low for a ball. three hits in this inning. one off of burton and two off the starter, micah owings. and the 1-2. good eye for guzman. outside for ball two. >> ro

. >> nothing like getting through an introduction by bruce without some stories from the path that i prefer no one else knows. i appreciate that. speaking of being busy, i have to be back at the white house as we start our briefings on economics, they don't always go together all the time. that was a joke, you can laugh at 9:00 a.m. in the morning. i want to to one point of overview and talk about 2 subjects, which is both education and health care. both -- one topic is dominant the in the news and in people's loss, the other is not dominant in the news that there is a quiet revolution going on around the country on education reform. being led by the administration and arnie duncan. whatever you want would be great. exactly what a middle child like me would love to see happen. if you haven't seen the president's interviews he did with the wall street journal, nbc, besides killing the fly, his basic premise, when we came into office, was the economy over the last 20 years lived through a series of bubbles which is where we got our growth. we had to have a more sustainable economic gro

especially those who can keep giving money it bruce reed. number one, as you saw from the film, the approach did work. and it worked in ways that you didn't have time to put into the film. we didn't just have 23 million new jobs and record home and business ownership and record minority and business ownership and the lowest rate of minority poverty reported since we have been keeping statistics. there were three other things i think that need to be pointed out about how much this worked in a world that is gripped by instability and inequality. first, in the eight years i had the honor to serve we moved 100 times as many people out of poverty as moved out of poverty in the previous 12. only 50% more jobs, private sector jobs, but 100 times as many moved out of poverty. and it was with d.l.c. ideas lick doubling the earned income tax credit which alone took over two million kids out of poverty. number two, yes, we were for pretrade, but we also advocated labor and environmental standards and lifting the bottom, and in six of the eight years i

>> johnny: six strikeouts. 3-1 ball game, in the eighth inning with jonny gomes at first base, jay bruceder, and a walk and a follo bergmann to the mound. >> rob: to get back to strasburg, i like what tony gwynn said about him, and he said to strasburg, "listen, you have got to do at the episode of the day call your heart, don't get into a bidding war and negotiations negotiations and let your agent speak for you, at the end of the day it's your career, your life." >> johnny: what about last year, take an example. >> rob: absolutely. absolutely. your agent works for you and sometimes these young players think the agent is doing it out of the love for their kids. no. they are getting their 5% chunk of change at the end of the day so the more money they make for you the more money the agent makes and here is ron valone right here after giving up that one-outhit comes back and gets the guy hitting .172 off lefties coming in to tonight jay bruce. >> johnny: quickly two down here in the eighth inning. alex gonzalez has singled to right center, base hit tonight, one for three. actually, two fo

rosales at first, bruce, taveras and gomes in the reds outfield.i 31-27 coming into the ballgame today. 17-13 on the road. >> rob: play very well on the road. not playing so well at home. >> johnny: gonzalez with a lead off first and ryan zimmerman. >> rob: they should be taking advantage of great american ballpark. they are not playing so well. they are not generating the same offense. you miss one big hammer in the middle of the line-up and it gives the other teams an opportunity to pitch to you. >> johnny: zimmerman looking for his first base hit off micah owings. he has faced him six times. ryan in the series 3-9. top of the nats order with guzman and gonzalez and zimmerman, all three batting over.300. you toss adam dunn behind that and elijah dukes, it is a pretty good five somsome to look at. >> rob: -- five some to look at. count is 1-1 to zimmerman. 75 hits and 16 doubles, 41 runs scored. chopper left field. that could be in there but a nice diving grab by jonny gomes. and there's two down. home depot covers the bases today. you can visit h

it gives me great pride to introduce my partner and the president and ceo of the dlc, bruce reed. [applause] >> thank you so much, congressman, for fine words and great work. for president clinton who changed our party and made democrats sprout, to secretary sebelius, and all of the other former dlc shares, the vice chair tom and a dozen others are here from the senate. and many house members and state and local fichu -- and officials, and think all of you from far and near who have come here tonight. this is an amazing crowd. all these years, al from mid name for himself as one of the all-time great trouble makers. it will ruin his reputation forever when the world finds out he has as many friends. tonight, it saddens me to tell my favorite joke one last time i was born with the ultimate washington curse. i look like alfred, and i think like our from -- al from. it could be worse, it could be the other way around. [laughter] the truth is, thinking life -- like al from is the privilege of a lifetime. the world is a vastly better place, because over the years, so many democrats in

he will face gomes, hernandez and jay bruce in the reds 4. >> rob: now, you were the original before casey casem on the top 40s. [laughter]. >> johnny: it hits gomes. jonny gomes on with a hit by pitch at fly ball. >> rob: did you know wolfman jack? [laughter]. >> johnny: he had a voice on him. he was tough. but casey and i were together -- not together. we were on opposite stations on cleveland before he really made it big and he is one of the nicest guys. reds have the lead-off batter on. >> rob: when you hear somebody's voice, can you tell right after who it is? >> johnny: just about. -- right off who it is? >> johnny: just about. >> rob: you you want to -- you want to give me one? >> rob: no. i have trouble of trouble with my voice. >> johnny: i'm interesting, the year you had arm surgery, you didn't play at all did you? >> rob: i was rehabbing in '94 in august when we went on strike. so, that was a bad year to get hurt. not that any year is a good year to get hurt. >> johnny: nobody wins strikes do they? >> rob: free agent, i had reconstructive surgery on my shoulder and i was o

thank you, bruce reed, for all of your wonderful service in the white house, and your friend should to me and for leading the dlc and for what you said tonight. thank you, will marshall. thank you, ginger and sarah and jenny and mark. and thank you, elizabeth. this is really all for you, after all. i would like to thank those who, like me, had the benefit of serving as chair of the dlc. they're all here, and have all been introduced. it is a club by want to be a part of. we were really breasts -- blessed in those early years. there is a really magnificent person who is going to speak after me that proves the dlc program. rachel, i am so proud of you. i'm glad you're representing the state and local officials. that was a really good movie. it had the virtue of being at least except for the stuff about me, true. i think secretary sebelius may be here. we were together at a previous event, and i'll have more to say about that in a minute. i loved getting involved with the dlc. for one thing, i was tired of getting beat. i am old enough now to remember what it was like to get beat over and

most importantly in the area of community colleges, bruce and i have been talking about this, he has been very helpful on this topic of a community colleges. but because we are going from subsids in higher education to direct lending of the federal government, there are more resources. a lot of that is being put into pell grants the there are a lot of resources and we will be talking in the next couple weeks, you'll be hearing from the president and i don't want to preempt him, about changes on what we can to for community colleges to achieve the goal of getting five million more children or workers through the community college system and are expected over the next 10 years. lot of people when i talk about education talk about the universities, what has been forgotten is how important a community college system is to our economy, our ability to compete in a global economy, it is the conveyor belt to allow people to upgrade their skills when they're going from x job to y profession. as a former member of congress who had a former community college, 2 of them, in his district, i canno

in one of the most thoughtful vietnam era accounts, general bruce palmer once observed, with respect to vietnam, our leaders should have known the american people would not standstill for a protracted war of indeterminate nature with no foreseeable end to the united states commitment. he further stated in the article, general palmer thereby distilled into a single sentence the lessons of vietnam to embark on an open-ended war was to forfeit public support, thereby courting disaster. the implications were clear. never again. i further read from the article, the dirty little secret to which few in washington will own up is that the united states now faces the prospects of perpetual conflict. we find ourselves in the midst of what the pentagon calls the long war a conflict global in scope, if largely concentrated in the greater middle east, and expected to outlast even general palmer's 25-year war. the present generation of civilians and officers have either forgotten or inverted the lessons of vietnam, embracing open-ended war as an inescapable reality. madam speaker, i ask unanimous c

host: bruce on the republican line. caller: i just wonder where uc -- i am from wellington where dhl made the decision to close 10,000. we felt it was somebody from germany who made that decision instead of somebody who knew us, most of the people who worked for dhl wonderful people. we thought it was from afar. with so many of us unemployed workers in america now, already the obama administration has made a decision on health reform that is really helped. i just have a feeling that nationally with so much unemployment going on, what is your national field on -- you have 10 percent of america on an unemployed. how does that affect everything on a global picture? guest: fortunately -- or unfortunately for our viewers delaware -- the rate is not 10 percent but he is right, i think it will reach 10 percent before this is over. what happens is even if the economy begins to rebound, the unemployment rate continues to grow for a period of time. the bigger danger is that in our last two recessions, we had jobless recovery spir

jay bruce going through a rough spot, a lot of peaks and valleys. it's a very humbling game. >> johnny: the is-2 to take investorries. one down here in the bottom of the ninth, harris grounds out to second.   hernandez will come up tr to get something going. hernandez struck out swinging his last time up, he is 0-3, a strikeout looking last time and grounded out to second, popped out to second. wouldn't like to break his 0-3 night. for  . >> rob: he can't know cor that well so one thing he has to do is patience. make him pitch to you. >> johnny: 94. two balls and no strikes. for thehe nationals' second baseman, with austin kearns on deck. and manny acta changing things up. 3-2 reds bottom of the ninth, 16,274 braving the elements to come out for this game delayed almost two hours at its start time of 7:05 to almost close to 9:00. and the count is three balls and no strikes to hernandez. >> rob: i would take another pitch right here. >> johnny: make him throw strikes. >> jo

on the technical issues, we received a briefing yesterday from bruce blair, of the coordinators' of thero enterprise, and he made be interesting point that there really isn't the case in the history since the development of nuclear weapons in the 1940s, where people were actually taken by surprise by the development of a country of its own nuclear weapon. in other words, there are a variety of activities associated with developing and deploying nuclear weapons and in every case, whether it was after the united states, the soviet union, china, follow on nuclear states, governments and intelligence systems were able to provide clear indications that those developments were under way. there is always uncertainty about specific things like whether someone is going to test or not or when they are going to weapon nuys, build nuclear weapons. it is hard to hide that you are developing nuclear capability. >> i am a staff writer of a japanese newspaper. thank you for giving us this opportunity. i have one question. you mentioned that your approach is realistic and practical. is it possible to ex

jay bruce waiting on deck and then alex gonzalez. nats with their only run in the 6th inning, trail it 2-1. what has been a series where washington just not able to get more than two runs. two tuesday night, two last night and one today. pop up behind 1st base. a long run. kearns and it hits the warning track and bounces up in the stands. well, between cordero, rhodes and weathers, they have appeared in 2,230 games. that is the kind of experience the reds have. you can see a relaxed cincinnati bullpen. >> rob: they won't be relaxed in that phone ring. jump into action. >> johnny: and the 1-2, runner going. strike three called. hernandez takes the third strike. as we go to bottom of the 8th, take a look again. 2-1 reds lead. s>mqy, but the things we all look forward to haven't changed. like owning a home. watching our children grow. and retiring with confidence. so whatever you're looking forward to, m&t bank is here to help you get there. m&t bank. understanding what's important. we've got a ton of stuff we'

bruce, jacksonville, fla. should this deal go through? should it be block? caller: the united autoworkers is going to have about 30%, fiat will have about 20%. as far as the factories for ford, general motors, and chrysler, they have had factories outside of the country for years because the uaw price themselves out of the market. they go where they can get a car built cheaper so that they can sell it for more so that they can make more money for the stockholders. the thing that gets me with chrysler is that the president has changed the rules and secured bondholders, we are told, they were told sari, you get nothing. that has been in our bankruptcy law for 150 years. now the president just changed it? take it or leave it. host: thank you. i can read some of the details. this emergency request went to ruth bader ginsberg. she can act on her own, or she can refer it to the entire court. here are some of the details. first of all, the indiana state police pension fund, police and teacher retirement fund, claiming the deal that -- claiming that the deal is unfa

oprah winfrey and bruce springsteen were throwing rose petals at his feet.e said to me, david, what sort of wine would you like me to turn your water into? it is his character that shapes this administration. i will just tell you a few of the traits that he has. one is incredible perceptiveness about other people. the story i tell about that is, several years ago i was writing stories attacking republican congress. one morning i got an e-mail from obama that said david, if you want to attack us, you are only throwing in a sentence is to make yourself feel good. he got that. he is also a real intellectual, someone who really reads. i was interviewing him over the phone one afternoon and he was tired. he was a little cranky. out of the blue i asked him, if he had heard of a certain theologian. he said yes. i ask what it meant to him. he described his theology in perfect paragraphs. there are not a lot of u.s. senators who can do that. there used to be one, and now there are none. that is just an incredible testimony to his intelligence. as you have seen, he is

host: bruce, illinois. democratic line. caller: thank you for taking my call. would like to offer some solutions on how to pay for health care. i think we are 27 in the world as far as how we pay for this. let's take a look at the united kingdom, canada, switzerland. let's look at what works and what does not work. on how to pay for it, why not raise the gap on social security and medicare? another solution might be -- why not take every receipt and instead have it cost 50 cents, have a cost 52 cents -- have it cost 52 cents. the think it is my work? i will listen. host: your thoughts about his suggestions? guest: we have already seen a massive increase in government spending. it is hard to think of any time in u.s. history that we have had such a large increase. when we are talking about taking over the rest of the economy, the government already provides a large share of it but now it will do even more. how well can the government run business? how well do they run the post office? any place where there is a private provider competing against government provi
