red flag number seven, and the last red flag -- one of my main concerns was about this entire matter is that it appears to point to a failure of oversight. so i ask this question: did the inspector general's office cave under pressure and surrender its oversight responsibilities? by accepting and tolerating the central accounting agency's action, the office of inspector general appears to have allowed a defense department entity to effectively block its ability to perform one of its core missio missions; that is, auditing the books of a key defense agency. if true, this would be a cardinal sin for the inspector general. the central accounting agency allegedly violated the terms of the contract, it allegedly made fraudulent payments, and it unilaterally terminated oversight. yet in the face of such blatant defiance, the inspector general's office turned a blind eye to this challenge. so you have to ask the question: why did the i.g. just roll over? why did the i.g. fail to assert its independent audit authority? stopping work at this critical juncture does not appear to have been a re

is that a red flag for the democratic party, it just doesn't matter?epends on which way you look at it. they've known they have a problem with white men. particularly because of the economic issues. but when you look at the question of who cares most about my problems, you know, the president overwhelmingly did very well and a lot of those people are white. blue collar working men, which is one of the reasons he won in the state of ohio. i think the larger problem quite frankly, is for the republican party because you see that the percentage of the white electorate shrunk, right, from 74 to 72 and i think you know, that is a problem for republicans because they need to start reaching out. you're just talking about latinos. that's a growing community in this country. and i think you know, if the republican party doesn't wake up and say okay, you know what? we need to figure out a way to do immigration reform because there is no reason we should be alienating minorities who might be with us. >> bill, my question on this, when you look at the hispanic vot
