politics as if he was floating in some plastic bubble, across the united states with a wand like glendahe good witch. you know, i'll transcend here, i'll transcend there. but reality, okay, but reality is that he's from chicago and they have bosses and they take control and they do what nthey want. that's the reality. that's not transcending politics, that's playing politics. >> the guys in chicago, of course they're going to be in love -- you're very critical of mayor daily and you said you're very critical of the president and you call it as you see it. >> i like president obama personally, right, but i cannot -- see, in chicago, a few of us, we wear the tinfoil hats that they don't wear in the "washington post" and the "new york times." they should get them. because if you wear them, then when david axelrod starts sending his, you know, his channeling, you can kind of keep your mind clear when you're writing your column and basically politics is politics no matter where it's played. in chicago, as you know, because you were here and you covered it. there's a little bit more honesty t

joining me now is glenda rossburg the service coordinator and the mc good morning. >> good morning. > start with you, tell us about your role and what is going on today. >> as you know a national day of service in honor of dr. king we have projects going on at the cathedral one actually off site, at the cathedral entrance is free to our program, parking is free but we are asking people who attend bring either a nonperishable food or books children's books. and also, off site, 3417 massachusetts avenue, at the buddhist center, we are having a clothing drive. >> people should drop clothing there. >> all used clothing should be dropped off buddhist center massachusetts avenue. all nonperishable food and children's books should be brought here. >>> wonderful now the event is free and open to the public you just ask they bring these items. >> we are asking for this donation we have a number of very worth while organizations we hope to give all this too. >> now, ray, this day is really big for you, what does this mean for you. >> this day is just so monomental, as you know, this is the last

transcending politics as if he was floating in some plastic bubble across the united states with a wand like glenda. i'll transcend here, i'll transcend there. but reality, okay, reality is that he's from chicago. and we have bosses. and they take control and they do what they want. and that's the reality. that's not transcending politics. that is playing politics. >> you know it better than anyone else because as you were talking about, i'm sure people say, oh, the guy's from chicago, of course he's going to be in love with what the president -- >> right. >> and you're krcritical of may daley and you're very critical of the president and you call it like you see it. >> listen, i like president obama personally, right? but i cannot -- see, in chicago, a few of us wear the tinfoil hats that they don't wear in "the washington post" and "the new york times," i don't think. they should get them because when you wear them, when david axelrod starts sending his channeling, you can kind of keep your mind clear when you're writing your column. and basically politics is politics, no matter where it's played

transcending politics as if he was floating in a plastic bubble across the united states with a wand like glenda i'll transcend here, i'll transcend there. but reality is that he's from chicago and we have bosses. and they take control. >> so -- >> and you being a former chicagoan -- can i say you're a former chicagoan? >> you're always a chicagoan like you're always a new yorker. >> you, a chicagoan -- >> yeah. >> you've heard that dialogue before. >> i've heard it before. >> people defending the style of politics in chicago. >> what he's saying is that in chicago, you have a boss. and the mayor is the boss. whoever's in charge is a boss. and if you want to appoint someone, you do it. that's essentially what he's saying in that sound bite. but is it chicago-style politics? we'll discuss more. >> all right. >> and, listen, i went on the book store. gained so much wait, room service, airplanes. i did -- >> whatever, you didn't gain any weight at all. >> close-up, my cheeks were like that. and now they're like this. >> so what's going on? were you doing something -- >> i had mark mcdonald on the p

have to contend with at the gop convention and for a while going forward, but i do think that what glenda says is accurate. this plays well for his supporters. i think it was an effective thing the last time when he was asked about the racest news letters that bore his name. he has disavowed them and says he didn't write them. i don't think asking him about whether he connects with voters is ill legitimate. michelle bachman got asked if she was a flake from chris wallace. he apologized, but, you know, it was seen as an inbounds question at the time. i think mitt romney has gotten asked questions about flip-flops and activity as well. i think this is somewhat schtick-ish. i think he has a problem with the mainstream media, but he will have to find something else to hang it on because the media is taking him seriously. >> well, i say this again. when you are in a scrum and trying to ask ron paul questions, he does not answer them. i tried to ask him questions many times, and he gave the response that he didn't like to walk and talk at the same time. i said, well, we can sit here and you can

also from glenda of kentucky. finally the president's speech is just talk.ou can send us an e-mail. steve joins us from arizona. welcome to the conversation from the republican line. caller: i was going to say, i have listened to the speech and then i listened to the republican response. it reminds me of when -- remember when mayor koch presided over the people's court? he used to say after he had listened asides, he would say, somebody is lying to me here. one side was not jiving with the other. i'll never forget that. that is what reminds me of what happened here. somebody -- one side or the other is lying to us. it is just not jibing. it just seems like it is the same old same old. they are both saying the same thing. no real answers. host: thank you for the call. from the new york times, a look from behind the podium. his third state of the union. it ran just about an hour in length, followed by the republican response. next is a lame from michigan on the independent line. -- elaine from michigan on the independent line. caller: it did feel like that cam
