ron, what do you make of the comments from rahm emanuel last night?ll, i think if you want a preview of what next year is going to sound and look like should mitt romney win the republican nomination, that was the most revealing thing that happened this week. in rahm emanuel's speech is the core, i think, of one of the arguments democrats want to make against romney, should he win. it should be familiar to people because in many ways it is an echo of the case that george w. bush made in 2004 against democrat john kerry. in 2012, democrats want to say, look, you may not agree with all the decisions president obama made, but he stood in there on the battlefield and in crisis time for the country and made tough calls one after the other. and stands by them where as his other guy, mitt romney, he's someone who puts a finger up to the wind and can't trust him to make the tough calls when times are tough. that's the case that president bush made against john kerry, remember the famous windsurfer ad where they showed kerry seemingly arguing he was flip-flopp

if you look at daley he's had a much tougher time than rahm emanuel did, largely because he didn't havehe relationship that rahm emanuel had but to daley's defense, one of the things they tanked -- tasked him for do was bridge the white house's relationship with the business community. you have a president that keeps bashing the business community. he was also supposed to work with congress. and in that, he's had very little success in dealing with congress. but also you have a president that doesn't have the relationship with leaders on capitol hill like past presidents have had. so daley was very frank in an interview with politico when he said this is tough and i might leave after 2012, but martha, why this is important is because he was brought in to save president obama and get him reelected and almost one year ago to the day, he is being demoted or shifted responsibility. so it is important. martha: interesting points by both of you. let me take a look at that politico quote. we want to show folks at home. this was a very striking interview. when i saw this cross, and i read this
