on the independence line, lexington, ky. >> congress are the ones to pass bills.signs into law. congress is the one who needs to worry about jobs. it needs to get past both parties. the other thing i was looking at on the speech, he says we're going to start -- i did not hear nothing about national gas which t. boone pickens has been preaching that the longest. right now, we have 75% of our oil in the united states being used and what ever oil we drill goes into the world market, not the united states. drilling on private lands -- could you imagine a leak going into yellowstone not like it did into the gulf and what kind of problems we would have if they couldn't stop that leak on that beautiful land? people have to understand it's ok to say we're going to drill in those areas and am ok with drilling in some parts, but if we get oil leaks like we did in the gulf and no one can stop it, then we will be -- how are you going to stop it? he's not going to go down there and stop himself. he needs to get more precise with what he's talking about. put nothing on the pres

bill, louisville, ky.aller: i have been calling this program cents ronald reagan and del monte dell debated. you are a big improvement over brian lamb. i'm a libertarian. i am not a republican or a democrat. i like ron paul better than anybody, but i want to hear somebody address the fact that dan jones was placed in this administration and he is a self- avowed communist. he was placed in charge of the green jobs. how did he get in to the administration? mr. obama must have known he was a communist, but you do not hear anyone speak to it. host: since you have witnessed a lot of conventions and have been turning in four years, is there something you hope to see, a particular speaker you care the most about? caller: i want to hear mitt romney, chris christie. i have been voting for president since jack kennedy. libertarian or not, i was sucked in and voted for mr. obama the last time around. that was a huge mistake in my opinion. we have to hear somebody address the issues, and the issues are who you placed

electricity costs in america, enabling companies like toyota to create over 7000 jobs in georgetown, ky miners lost their jobs because of overregulation and obama's war on cold. for every mining jobs lost, 3 additional jobs are threatened, including those at toyota. but president obama does not care. rarely in history has a single industry been so recklessly attack, with so little regard for the people it hurts. people like chris woods, a young coal miner who took the underground to show me his work. crist considers himself lucky. he still has a job, driving an hour each way for a 10-hour shift. his paycheck supports his wife, two kids, and both sets of parents. chris looked me in the eyes, and i will never forget his words. he said, "i do not know much about politics, and i do not care about politics. but if you can save my job, i am for you." chris, i care about your job. mitt romney cares about your job. and together, we are going to fight to save your job. thank you very much. >> get a warm welcome to david rouser. >> hello, north carolina. hello, america. you can feel it. our count

elizabethtown, ky, democrats line.is, and a think obama is absolutely fantastic. i do have a couple of points that i hope i can make. one is that, you know, he talked about medicare in his speech. i was wondering what legislators, what their health care plans are -- or they tied to obamacare? and i think he cares. the other question i have is on, you know, romney's taxes -- he asked for several of paul ryan's tax returns, but we have only gotten one of romney's. i was wondering, is there something i missed on c-span? i try to watch it religiously, but i might have missed it. host: one of the news reports leading up to the event afternoon said the president would be focusing on medicare. you talk about his comments on medicare and that he would play offense and medicare. the "new york times" wrote that paul ryan has written two budgets approved by the house that would alter the medicare plan for future retirees. the romney and paul ryan campaign is not backing down from the medicare debate. the ap said in developing a s
