we got steve ratner's charts as promised in a moment.hen you listen to that as a republican who likes winning national elections, or would like to start winning the white house, what do you think. >> i love him and the distinction. i think it's an important one for him to draw between a fighter and someone who i think some people in the media and some of the liberals are trying to paint as someone who has issues containing and being polite enough. he's plenty polite enough for what's going on in this country. if you look where the republican party is right now, they do feel like they need someone to carry some of their frustrations with what the last six years have been like for republicans. people feel likes the president came in and rushed over the republicans in congress. someone like governor christie who speaks his mind, doesn't worry about -- doesn't waste any time trying to be politically correct or polite, he is exactly what the pearty needs and county needs. someone who says it like it is and doesn't polish things. >> the last d

steve ratner says he instructed gm not to fund pensions for -- >> not union, right. >> rattner said it was not commercially reasonable and defended the decision by saying his job was to make sure gm emerged from bankruptcy as a viable company. republican lawmakers as you know have criticized that decision as an example of overly deep metaling by the obama administration and private business. there are a lot of people unhappy with how gm went down. rattner. the whole thing is a communist issue if you're going to get the government involved. >> same thing with the bondholders, when they fell in this whole thing. >> the gm bailout and the auto bailout. there's already people that don't like it. they will already tell you, it was done to benefit the unions. so all this is going to do is just -- they're already tainted with that. this is just going to confirm that a lot of that was -- >> there were some deals cut, the people thought that this was raw. but if you look at gm and -- >> but say it. we will fund the pensions of the union employees, the salaried employees, we're not going to fund
