obama against sarah palin, your favorite, eleanor. dead heat. >> you know, it's a long way to 2012. the democrats who are going to take this brunt this november are the house democrats and the president came into office. the improbability of him winning the election, i think, got people thinking he could transform all of the problems. there is a bloomberg poll that shows people blame president bush far more than they do president obama for all of the existing problems. they are impatient and this president has had extraordinary achievements. it will take months, if not years for the person on the street to feel that and it's the economic. it's the unemployment rate that is pulling this president down. he in popularity is where president reagan was at the same point in his first term. he used -- >> you think this is reagan, good luck. >> use the slogan, stay the course and it works well for reagan and i bet it will work well for obama. >> do you think president obama bares no reflections of president reagan? >> 2006, 2008 were reputuations of conservatism. the obama people thought it

they're that type of person but also if that sort of nation run makes sense now why politicians like sarah palin are against abortion so you see here you have the leaders of the nation greenspan backs and to bush tax cuts congress according to alan greenspan should let all of former president bush's two thousand and one and two thousand and three tax cuts expire to cut the long term deficit mr greenspan support of course helped persuade congress to pass these tax cuts in two thousand and one it's trillions in tax cuts and yet spending wasn't reduced now their revenue was reduced to the government but spending accelerated because of as you pointed out in the beginning this huge expansion of the fourth branch of government now which is the surveillance state with borrowed money you know reagan wasn't a tax and spend politician he was a basically a borrow and spend politician and he borrow the country into the it's current state of bankruptcy well now alan greenspan is saying oops i shouldn't have persuaded you to do that of course this is his like deathbed conversion saying oh i'm sorry i sinned t

sarah palin, that is not acceptable. but there is enough meat on the bone here for republicans to go after nancy pelosi and her policies. and the stimulus package which was $787 billion we've lost 2.4 million and the job, lack of jobs in this country, that's what is going to sink the democrats. >> i do want to go to this new new deal as i'm calling it any anyway am will it work for or against the democrats in november, congresswoman norton. >> if, to be sure, if you look at the intense intensity of the tea party, you will say well, that's going to spread. those people were there all along. when members get home, and here's where nancy pell os syso wise. and relate what they did in congress to their own election, those of you who are calling the election, here in august, are going to have mud on your face. >> like i said, 2.4 million jobs have been lost since the stimulus package was signed into law. people, they can go back, the democrats can go back and say we passed this and passed that and people will say but i still

then there is going to be a backlash with voters i think you know what if he's running against sarah palinean she's not going to do anything it's a possibility but if person barack obama and democrats keep losing. boarders they spending bodies' going to be up for grabs so do hispanics just not show up at the polls do they just choose inaction you know i think they're going to be voting something interesting when ronald reagan used to say that latinos are really republicans he's just that they don't know what what happens is that latinos many latinos are very conservative they are against abortion they are suspicious of big government so in that sense yes he's spending values are very similar to republican values and we have to remember that george bush got forty four percent of the he spending vote jorge ramos journalist and author thank you so much for speaking with us thank you. sailors called it the sea canary true to its high pitched. this moment this only communicated. to trying to say. i'm coming to come to mind which. most. secret so. wealthy british style. is. markets and. find out
