cynics and then the lack of action by the president to release this document that he should have released -- it's a very benign document. he should have released it a long time ago. by not releasing it he fed a desire to have more skeptics in the debate and more cynics. and the cynics got stronger and stronger and i think he squandered an opportunity to put the country in a position where woe could be talking about real issues and he did it for a long time. he was leading from behind, just like some of his advisers said he likes to do, and i want to have the debate centered around let's get the economy -- let's talk about the paul ryan budget plan to bring some discipline to the country. let's get our deficit under control. let's talk about what it means to have a deficit that is under control so that the dollar is stronger around the world. that's what ben bernanke was talking about today. and you didn't even cover it. >> paul? >> andy is blaming the victim here. the notion that somehow barack obama could put this all behind him. let's watch. let's see if this puts it behind him.
