if you talk to people inside and outside the company, customers, employees, they like what meg whitmane also paid a very inexpensive price for hewlett. >> what did you buy? what did you boy it at? >> i think our average cost is somewhere in the $18 area. >> back to microsoft, do you think the restructuring there works or does it need to be another step down? >> i think we are a littling a nostic. there are a lot of levers microsoft can pull to enhance share value that they haven't yet. so wearing a nostic, but we like the fact that they generate a lot of cash and the key ploy it in ways to help the shareholder. >> you do like google. you don't have any position when it comes to apple? >> google i think we started in the high 400s. we thought it was one of the best interests we have ever seen. i think google has after automatic money they've spent has over a hundred million in cash and continues to generate gobs of cash every quarter. apple, we don't own. we've looked at i. our biggest concern is that it makes a lot of hardware, that it has very high margins on. ultimately in technology

i mentioned walt whitman. listen to walter littman again, this time in february of 1933. he advocated extraordinary power to the incoming president. the danger, he wrote, the danger we have to fear is not that congress will give franklin roosevelt too much power but that it will deny him the power he needs. the danger is not the we shall lose our liberty but that we shall not be able to act with the necessary speed and comprehensiveness of the dictatorships though we are able to do and then he proposed extraordinary authority should be given full president for a period of one year. should have the widest and full list powers under the most liberal interpretation of the constitution. congress should suspend temporarily the rule of both houses to limit drastically the right of the amendment and debate, to put the majority in both houses under decisions of the democratic party caucus and the suppression of normal politics he concluded, quote, is the necessary thing to do. of the american nation desires action and results, this is the way to get them. the new deal began then
