we have the presser at 4:00 p.m. this afternoon.hat comes after the ecb meeting, and i'm sure they're going to sit there hoping we get something from the ecb so they don't have to make the formal request. the likelihood of that doesn't look so high. guys, back to you. >> thanks for that. >> well, we look now back to kevin gardner, our guest here for the hour. kevin, we've been talking about, you know, what more the ecb can or will do today. if they don't deliver with what we spoke about happens with spanish and italian yields, with the auction, if they don't deliver with an outline or more specific plans on reactivating the smp, for example, should we expect it over 7%? >> i don't know if it would go that far, but we expect a little bit of volatility near term. the key term we make for clients don't think it's a financial rubik and it's the end of the world. this is a relatively thin market. if the yield does push back doesn't mean it's going to stay there. i think it's going to be a little bit of a disappointing meeting, but i do e

dominated the news cycle for the past 48 hours and was the first softball question at the president's presseresterday. we after week the obama campaign dabbles in distractions, bain, romney's tax returns and now absurd attempts to tie romney to akin. and the president's media nationals are always at the ready covering the side shows instead of commanding answers to the real challenges facing our country. >> we are spending a lot of times in the last few weeks those of us in the political world talking about things other than the economy. so, you know, a lot of people are hurting out there. i would like to see more action taken and more emphasis given to this issue. >> laura: so voters, choose your media carefully. the news division at fox prides itself on being fair and balanced. holding all sides accountable. there are a few other good folks in the media who balk the pro-obama spin. it's important to note romney may have a lot more campaign cash in the end than obama. but obama most in the media, including the entire hollywood establishment at his beck and call. that takes a smart counter st
