hauer you, ma'am? >> host: thanks. your question, please? call trustees six >> caller: as for his political revelation wouldn't it be good to go to the local level and maybe have people maryland and i don't know it is around the country but in my area for instance we have something called the precinct committee people on both the democratic and the republican side that go and basically make the rules and make the decisions about how the local political parties run and in turn that is how they endorse candidates for the local, state and national level. what if we were to get people involved in the committee type of wave doing things and then you get more of the american pit of beast in the political party and then one more thing i have is all the stuff going on as part of a social media and the internet, wouldn't it be likely that some day we can possibly get big business out of politics because with all the free social media and the information that we have at our fingertips, wouldn't that be a little more connecting with people for the poli

president obama hauer the american economy's today? she's been coming he tells you of positive news coming he downplays or omits the negative news. when a boy meets a girl the boy wants to date that girl he goes to great lengths to portray himself in the most positive light. he's spending. deception is part of daily life, but lobbying is a special form of deception, and most people in society, the vast majority of people in our society would require being called a lawyer. there's something really terrible about lobbying. as a result of that, i don't think leaders who lie to their people are leaders who lie to other leaders feel good about it. there may be a few exceptions, adolf hitler flexible, not going to care one way or the other but someone like dwight eisenhower, i think even john f. kennedy, very, very reluctant to lie for i think moral reasons, it's just a form of behavior that is actually quite a detestable but the fact is when you're dealing with international politics, and if the security of your country is on the line, you

. >> hauer important is it to fixing the job crisis in america that obama would be reelected in 2012?that's a good question. [laughter] >> congressman? >> well he's already said that its essentials. rich, do you agree? >> compared to the seven dwarfs on the oversight. [laughter] whenever -- if they get elected we would be in a depression. i mean, keeping some coherence he and some reality to economics is important. each one of them simply says cut, cut. when you ask them with the jobs program as it is cutting. cutting doesn't create jobs. it doesn't. and so, i think it's important -- i think it could be more important if he focused more on jobs from the run up and afterwards and said i'm not going to listen to your chatterer, i'm not going to listen to your sound bites, i'm going to focus this country on job creation and put 14 million people back to work and we will solve your deficit problem, a whole bunch of other problems. that's what i'm going to do. would be more important if he would say that. >> over here, gentlemen in the red shirt. >> three quick questions and this one mostl
