joe?nds me of something that you and i were talking about last night. when you talked about how barack obama needed to be more hopeful. we were commenting on how steve jobs' comments about barack obama always saying what couldn't be done, what always stood in his way. and you compared that, contrasted that, to fdr's optimism in the middle of the great depression. and jfk's optimism in the middle of the cold war. ronald reagan's optimism in the midst of an american decline that he tried to reverse. i would guess you agree with him in parts here. >> i do. i think that whenever you have a president telling you why something can't be done, even in private, if it's private, there really is no private with presidents and it gets out. in which he's explaining the legislative obstacles or something or the interest group obstacles. then you're sort of predefeating yourself to some extent. you know, fdr's great line is we have to be about bold persistent experimentation. if something fails, admit it

>> we love joe. the more joe we get the better. emphasis on the more. >> so we're bored with the 2012 race. so we want to look ahead to 2016. >> it's over. >> there's a new poll out show something interesting information about 2016. who's ahead? who's going to be the president in 2016? >> it's funny. it's washington, we always talk about politics. but there's a poll out, and there's been a couple, that look at 2016 and what would happen if hillary and biden both ran for the nomination. hillary clinton would clean his clock. 57% and 16% for biden. it just shows certainly among democrats hillary clinton is the favorite to run in 2016 if she chooses to do it. the reason that it matters is that i think both hillary clinton and joe biden very much want to do it or want to be in a position to do it if they choose to do so. and so it does create a lot of drama behind the scenes. and it's clear to us biden definitely wants to do it and be in a position to do it if they win re-election, which can always cause a bit of friction or internally

let's face it, right, joe? >> he is talking about me. i am half antelope. >> did you consider a social class when considering your husband? i don't ever recall having that thought in my head. >> i don't think it is something that people even think about anymore. >> says somebody who is married to a doctor. >> i don't want to go against the study. they say more women are marying men who are more than a year or two older than them. and i went a little younger. >> it was a legal age at the time. i think it is a good thing. what they are saying is women are financially independent and they don't have to marry for money. they can marry up, down, sideways. >> i am worried about her. what did you make of this shift? you are of an economic mind. >> what do i make of this shift? >> here is my thinking on this. have you met anybody who is in his 20s right now? it is a little disappointing. i'm just saying. >> interesting point. it is a very interesting point in charles murray's book he says when he talks to single women he says why aren't you mary
