given the fact that numbers underwhelming at the revenue line, i think they've done a very good job of managing these numbers, telling the street in advance or certainly this side of the atlantic that the numbers aren't going to be great and town grading revenues and then beating expectations. which brings us back to nick nelson, as well. they take a lead out of the u.s. book and it comes at the same time that we've seen. >> it's weak. if you look at the reports in q3, we're two thirds of the way through it. you're having only 65% of companies beat against normally 75% of the countries beat. so whether companies attempt to get numbers down and then beat by a penny, but disappointing compared to the last two or three years. this is last quarter, this is history, and we know the pmis companies are not good at giving lead, saying we're about to go into this period where there will be a three year depression and have a disaster. most of that happened in q1 after the collapse in demand. so i'm not sure there are many companies, some have some in their books, but went up five pointst last mo

are eager to see major changes in the senate because of its dysfunction, this is something of an underwhelmingsal that we see coming from senate democrats. the kind of changes we'd see are minor. and ultimately the super majorities we have seen become so standard throughout the senate in recent years would remain in place. the changes are actually quite minor. >> do you think it would be enough? i think that harry reid wouldn't be proposing this if he didn't think this was going to remedy the situation. but there's still a way that the republicans could throw up a bunch of filibusters, correct? >> absolutely. the right of the minority to filibuster would be maintained regardless of the forms are adopted or not. harry reid is correct that some changes are necessary, and this would be a step in the right direction. at the same time, i don't think anyone on either side would be able to characterize this fairly as a sweeping overhaul of senate rules. they are just not that sweeping. >> do you think it would work? >> i think it would have some effect. there are all kinds of possibilities in terms o

the underwhelming under $30,000 a year they broke 7 million plus for obama. if it had been 50/50 in that area romney would be president. you can't tell me that economics weren't the primary motivating force for that group to vote for president obama. first of all, unfair post. unfair to many in the media pointing out some of the statistics about the election and actually pointing out that indeed minority increase in turnout and in urban areas, yes, in cities where the g.o.p. has problems relating to folks and bringing folks into their fold and voting for them those are not racist staples and we need to get away from that if we are going to analyze this like we want to. i will will say that you said yourself that some 30 something percent of under $30,000 a year voted for romney. i don't think those who voted for obama are necessarily completely ruled by whatever -- wooed by whatever benefit were given to them. >> bill: if you are going to say that, if that's going to be your point of view, you have to fill in the blank. what did they vote for? i just listed e

it's been truly overwhelming, and the good news, i think, is the american people have been underwhelmed change. but what's changed is the 24/7 media, the influx of unlimited money into politics, the fact that it is easy to stand on principle and demonize your opponents and it makes good copy, all of that has made the campaigning overwhelm the governing in our democracy. >> paul krugman wrote in the "new york times" this week and he said the president shouldn't do anything about the fiscal cliff at the moment. he had, stand your ground, mr. president. don't give in to threats. no deal is better than a is bet deal. that would put extreme pressure on republicans to make a deal as the economy tags. we talked about the extreme party but what about pressure from liberals on the president to resist compromise? >> so i said it before the election and we say it in our book, you can blame one party more than the other but, in the end, both parties are going to have to compromise and the victorious party is going to have to make the extreme ends of its party somewhat unhappy in order to make the p

i mean, the third quarter revenue pretty much was underwhelming. it was unimpressive, the revenue growth. >> yeah, you're right. it is a concern. i think the good news is, you know, kind of what i'd attribute the rally yesterday to. you're seeing some firming in the global economic picture. a combination of better numbers out of china. some better numbers here, frankly. i think i feel a little better about that. i would argue our earnings estimates both this year and next year are below kind of street consensus. i still think valuations are okay. that's why you don't have to see the market get killed even though you're going to probably see some of those earnings estimates drift down over time. >> this market reaction today surprised me. i wonder how you see it. why are we down 139 points today on the dow industrials on the heels of a report that said 171,000 new jobs were created? >> you know, it's almost an impossible question. i wanted to say that it was because we got paid on it maybe yesterday because of the adp report. i'm surprised we maybe

it is about production, it is about jobs, which is still growing but underwhelming.t income and it is about sales. when we look -- >> because we are a consumer-driven economy. >> we are consumer driven. these are things that tell you where you are in the business cycle. how much are you producing, how many people are working, how much are they making and how much are they buying? these four things tog, we can look at them. it is hard to measure them so they get revised a lot. >> sure, sure. >> things get moved around. right now, when you look at those four things, what you see is that you've got ease in three out of four. the only one bucking the trend at the moment is jobs. so the problem is they tend to move together when you look at these patterns. the thing is, what are the patterns here? then, when we talk about all these other policies and different expansions, you had an eight-year expansion with reagan, a ten-year expansion with clinton, very different policies. we had an almost seven-year expansion with bush. here we are 3 1/2 years and what it tells us is t
