and another tweet, it would mean never worrying that gerard depardieu would plop down and get me wet., the person i don't want to be sitting next to is the pilot. i want somebody in the cockpit, i guess. listen, i enjoyed your interview, as many did, with mr. rattner, the car zar. a lot of us remembered things a little different, carl. we remembered the bondholders were negotiating in good faith in the presence of the government seemed to alter that. i don't know. we all lived through it. i don't know that i agree with that rendition. i think if the government doesn't negotiate in good faith and let's face it, the government likes unions a whole lot more than mf employees. i think if the mf employees were all union people, the outcome would be a bit different. i don't mean to make a political statement here. but, listen, i read the

a french company just put about $650 million into a steel mill between youngstown and gerard, ohio, and they make steel tubing for the oil and gas industry. so we have thousands of building trades working in youngstown and you go a few miles away and the other building trades can't find work. it's really a tale of two cities. but my point is and why i get so adamant about the investments in the sciences and in the health is because i'm seeing in akron and in youngstown what these investments lead to. they lead to job creation at the end of the day. and when we pull back those investments, businesses don't thrive, businesses don't partner with them and we have no new economy. and we're getting stucked talking about tweezers when we should be talking about high-end battery manufacturing and how that can be done in the united states. and in places like youngstown and the old steel belt, if we had a tax policy that would incentivize converting buses and trucks over to natural gas because of the boom we have, talking about relying on american energy right under our feet, tax incentives to ma

just to double check i called leo gerard of the steal workers, how was he on hey bore, wage earners?rible. he would throw them a vote but never took the lead on trade issues, big with the unions. never with an issue going to make the vote to give them a make or break situation, he wasn't the arlen specter. arlen specter was great with labor until the anita hill issue came up and then things changed quite a bit. you have right now, raick santorum telling people he's their guy and he has no record to back that up whatsoever as far as labor is concerned. and so the big word tonight is crossover. how many people will believe the stuff and come over as they did with john mccain in 2000 which that crossover vote helped him beat george w. bush. if he doesn't get the crossover he won't win. as far as romney is concerned, i have a different view of all this. you show me a winner i'll show you a winner. he still is the bain capital guy, still the wall street pick of all these candidates out there, they want no doubt, mitt romney. and if he can go in those offices down down manhattan and say i
