salute my republican friends for their ability to stay on message and be disciplined and to parrot what frank tells them. i wish that democrats from a p.r. standpoint to be able to have that same message. congressman? if frank capper were around today i think that he d enjoy steven spielberg s movies. budowsky was talking about that before. putting his pulse on the american people at reflect things that people enjoy. and you know, trying to do another makeover for speaker pelosi and such, they tried the democratic party makeover in 2006 say ago. the democratic party. trying to reduce deficits and pay more attention to more responsible governance, it worked for them in the elections of 2006 when they won the majority in the house and the senate, but once people found out the difference between the hollywood presentation they were making and what they were actually doing in office, they
president does when they come back is take a look at ronald reagan s old playbook. reagan could play his part in politics and cut the deal at the same time but reagan had convictions and reagan went to the country with those convictions. i d like to see the president say that it is a great moral issue for america that anybody s jobless at all for 99 weeks, i d like to see democrats say, like frank capper said, that we should care for our neighbors, that we don t that we re not a country of mr. potters, people who pay themselves huge amounts of money and rip off the average american. i would like to see democrats talk about the sermon on the mount about helping the poor, feeding the hungry, clothing the needy, as jesus said, as we celebrate on christmas eve. as we re going to see on nbc with its it s a wonderful life again, we should paint the portrait of america that americans relate to and go to the country aggressively and boldly and say, no one in america should be jobless for 9
and the new congress comes back. what newt gingrich needs to do and our friends at fox news need to do as well is spend christmas each turning on and be seen and watching it s a wonderful life, where jamie stewart and that great frank capper movie with the big small time bang kers. and he was up against mr. potter the crooked banker who was trying to rip everybody out and put stewart out of business. that s real america, the jimmy stewart america. that ought to be our america. that ought to be what we re fighting for and i think when the congress comes back, the president is on a roll, there s no question about that. her ay reid and the democrats in congress are on a roll. they have a new fighting spirit that i think came out of the last election. and what we need to do is to reclaim christmas. reclaim jesus. jesus said, cenk you should sell your possession to give the proceeds to the poor.
administration has failed to crackdown on wall street. in fact, he just had a meeting with the top ceos in the country to ask them what he could do for them, again. joining me now is brent badowski a columnist for the hill newspaper. it appears that first of all fighting are if the middle class and not constantly appeasing the bankers would be the most obvious political strategy of all-time, so why doesn t the president do that? well, i think that you re going to see a lot more of that, when we have a republican house and the new congress comes back. what newt gingrich needs to do and our friends at fox news need to do as well is spend christmas each turning on and be seen and watching it s a wonderful life, where jamie stewart and that great frank capper movie with the big small time bankers. and he was up against mr. potter the crooked banker who was trying to rip everybody out and put stewart out of business.
spiriting a little bit not fighting the republicans but fighting the president when he caved in on the republicans on that tax cut deal. that s where i sensed a little uprising the house on the democratic s side but let s tak about why the republicans never pay that price. the middle class, the people who lost their jobs, shouldn t the democrats be able to punish the republicans for these, you know, points as you rightly point out, americans would be outraged by and how come they can t, it seems, for a long time. well, i think what i hope the president does when they come back is take a look at ronald reagan s old playbook. reagan could play his part in politics and cut the deal at the same time but reagan had convictions and reagan went to the country with those convictions. i d like to see the president say that it is a great moral issue for america that anybody s jobless at all for 99 weeks, i d like to see democrats say, like frank capper said, that we should care for our neighb
