now, barak obama will get the votes, i think you'll agree, jeanine, of all far left people, no matterow they whine about him because they'll despise the republican nominee even more. correct? >> yes. it's amazing that they whine because it's sort of like a father brings home a cadillac and the teen-ager says, i want add convert. the far left has gotten everything they wanted, they've gotten health care, troops out of iraq, stimulus, dodd frank, more czars than any other president in history. suspension of the keystone pipeline, wide open borders and cuts in the defense. so the fact that they're whining is actually going to -- >> bill: you made one mistake there, jeanine. you were rolling, but then you made a mistake. not wide open borders. obama has done what bush did. he kept -- whatever bush left with, obama kept and they've upped the border patrol a bit. >> he just took a bunch of troops away, though. >> bill: the national guard that goes in, goes out, i don't understand why. but now they're cutting the military down, so that the aclu will be protecting us, lesley, and i'm very exc
