bill daley said, i'll make sure of it, but we didn't see them much because he was also gone within award, a look at their schedule shows a half a dozen of them including duncan, salazar, solis, salazar, and sebelius have taken a good chunk of time talking to voters. joining me now, todd purda. one thing we didn't mention is that there are two cabinet secretaries that are allowed to basically say and do whatever they want, and it seems it's arne duncan in education and shaun donovan in hud. what did you find out? what happened? >> why they have that license? >> no, no, but what happened with everybody else? >> well, i think that pearl, the white house staffs over the past 50 years have gotten much bigger and the control has gotten much more centralized. and we know from the 2008 campaign, this no drama obama team is very tightly rolled. and i think it's fair to say that the president relies on his core team of white house advisers more than he does on the cabinet secretaries in terms of being privy counselors. they may have influence in their departments, but it's a fiction that he ca

and i think those performances by rahm emanuel and bill daley suggest a lot of people read memos. and i think that what he is arguing is not that most americans are going to vote on the future. what obama needs are about 2, 3, 4% of the electorate to say something like, yes, i'm not really happy with the way things are now. but looking forward, i still prefer what obama wants to do to what romney wants to do. this election is very likely to be decided at the margins. you probably have maximally 10% of americans who are really undecided. and so the obama, because he can't say the economy is roaring back. it obviously is not. he can say, look, we are moving in a better direction. you don't want to throw me out, because those guys are going to take you backward. and if that moves only a couple points on the scale, that may be enough. but it's the strategy of someone running in hard times. >> let me bring in obama campaign national press secretary ben lebeau. and ben, let me ask you about what that memo says, about what you just heard from ej. if, indeed, this is going to be an electi

susan, it's interesting that this is what we heard from bill daley and rahm emanuel, both of them this morning on the "today" -- on ""morning joe" joe." let's listen. >> i think the american people will seriously look at this election is about the future, it is not about the past. >> middle class families and their standard of living has come under immense economic pressure. president obama will stand by the middle class. >> is that kind of wishful thinking, susan, that people are looking to the future, something that the campaign really doesn't have any alternative to, but can they frame it that way to convince people? >> well, election is always about the future, no question. but the problem, or the -- you know, the reality for an incumbent running for a second term in the white house is that he has to also talk about what's happened in the last four years. and that's a tough message. president obama inherited a very difficult economic situation. it's not getting better fast enough for most americans. we saw these federal reserve statistics out yesterday that showed the loss of wealt
