mike leavitt is actually working pretty seriously on what they would have to do. the disconnect, i do not know if it is good or bad. probably not good, i did not know how bad it is. the disconnect is something close to an all-time high i would say. have a conversation with stuart stevens and then a conversation with mike leavitt. it is just two different worlds. i honestly believe it would not be that the similar period a very different conversation that the one you would have with jack lew it or whoever is thinking through what obama would do in november/december of this year and for six months of next year. i do not think it is impossible. i think maybe it is just the way we will conduct ourselves, which is pick extremely quickly after election day. i do not buy the argument the partisanship is so bad. that will be an unusual situation, what we have not had in a long time. in any case, i think -- it is not going to be a lot of clues about this over the next five weeks, i do not think. >> which is unfortunate. >> congressman gordon. >> the partnership -- partisan

leavitt to a handful of highly energized people that want the government to be about the power concentrated in a few, we will get that government. if we work on the grass roots and talk to our friends and neighbors and co-workers and those cranky uncles that we all have, the folks that you do not want to have that conversation with over thanksgiving dinner, but who are essential to be reached out to as wealth to bring them into the conversation about common cause and a common destiny. we are about everybody, not about turning our backs on half the country. we are about everybody and lifting everybody top. that is why we stand with barack obama. i want to especially thank all of the volunteers, those who are here and those who we represent knowing that you will get out and shake those hands on knock on the doors and make those phone calls. you especially. it is about a generation to come. it is about our responsibility in our time to do what we can to make a better country. i met a young man four years ago when he was organizing in iowa for a long-shot candidate named senator barack obama. h

same time, presidential candidate interested in higher stock prices should vow to bring back arthur leavitt. should be rolled back tomorrow. third, i would say from the first day in office, i demand that all federal vehicles be retrofits to run on natural gas engines to clean up the skies and hire hundreds of thousands of americans to build up the infrastructure to handle the federal vehicles. that would force the hand of the trucking companies to switch from dirty, expensive imported diesel and cause gasoline to go down in price for all of us. we need to start using the natural gas in this country. that would let us cut defense spending. we would no longer need to spend hundreds of billions of dollars supporting other regimes. fourth, i would have the federal government take advantage of the low interest rate environment and issue $500 million in 30-year bonds to fix the nation's infrastructure. fifth, i would slap tariffs on goods made by countries. that would stop the endless parade of jobs migrating from our country to other countries. they have a ridiculous competitive advantage over u

same time, presidential candidate interested in higher stock prices should vow to bring back arthur leavitt. the best sec chair we've ever had so the playing field could be leveled and all the ridiculous financial engineering including elimination of the uptick rule should be rolled back tomorrow. third, i would say from the first day in office, i demand that all federal vehicles be retrofitted to run on natural gas engines to clean up the skies and hire hundreds of thousands of americans to build up the infrastructure to handle the federal vehicles. that would force the hand of the trucking companies to switch from dirty, expensive imported diesel and cause gasoline to go down in price for all of us. because of the liquefied natural gas competition. we need to start using the natural gas in this country. embracing that gas would help us balance the budget and fix the balance of trade because we would no longer need to spend hundreds of billions of dollars supporting opec supported regimes. en quit supporting ethanol while we're at it all with good old paid in the usa natural gas. fourth, i

two of my very favorite public servants in the world, michael leavitt, a dear, dear friend of mine forre governors together and orrin hatch i think one of the most respectable and truly statesman-like senators in the entire united states senate and both are members of the lds church. nothing in any of their careers over several decades that should give anyone any concern as to whether anyone of the lds church is capable of serving in the church and doing it with integrity and honor. does that help as a great platform if people are worried about mitt romney, to see the people who have served in public offers and there are quite a few of them, who served with honor and distinction, integrity and great competence? >> i think so. i think there's a long list of public servants who are of the lds faith. unfortunately, we also have harry reid, which is sometimes a drag for us. (laughter) >> other than him, i think we have a long list of very honest and men full of integrity. men and women full of integrity. >> mike: we appreciate you very much your joining us from idaho.

if you have a conversation with stuart stevens, then how they conversation with mike leavitt, to do for. obama's more complicated and i don't have that many private conversations at the top people, but that would not be that the slum under. it's a very different conversation than one you would have a chocolate or whoever is really thinking through what obama would actually do in november, december of this year and in the first six months of next year. so i don't think it's impossible. i think that maybe we have to conduct ourselves, to get about the business of governing. i don't buy the argument that partisanship is so bad you couldn't get democratic votes for republican budget or vice versa. i think there will be a certain momentum to do with programs at the reelected president or newly elected president, given the absence of third-party candidates that will be an unusual situation where we haven't had a longtime, the certain kind of mandate. but in any case, it's not going to be -- were not going to get a lot of clues about this over the next five weeks i don't think. >> which is unf
