Were the east german judge at the olympics. obama could hit the triple flip, and they would give him a two. when clinton talked about that republicans currently hate obama. he used that word hate. do you really think they hate obama, or is obstructionism a strategy? >> well, i think its both. i think they -- if you were in tampa, as i was, and many of us were, a lot of the best applause lines at the tampa convention were not for mitt romney, and they were not really so much for paul ryan. they w...
