" Turn now to -- Obama's campaign spokesperson Bill Burton ice kind enough to get up early and -- censoring reminds you belt."
" Hey thanks Tammy and just before it started -- want to get done a little bit of business yes I -- as -- John McCain was just done there he said hi to Steve and Gretchen von Bryan. Left -- out so hello Steve Gretchen and Brian put that in your -- Like four things are now on -- side I voted for Barack Obama."
" Having lived bill Joe Biden was making the rounds this morning Sunday morning talk shows and we. See here on Fox & Friends what -- that."
" I'm sorry he's is that scheduled and allow -- we're gonna make sure that happens sometimes in statuary."
" Okay very good. Hey I -- you want to talk about the economy. Yesterday John McCain said that the fundamentals of the economy are strong that he came back and he said that he was referring to the American worker and that's the strong part he was talking about meanwhile your guy Barack Obama said -- did not so good are you worried that if if Barack Obama talks about the economy being so gloomy and so fundamentally bad he won't be the candidate of hope but he'll be the gloomy guy talking about our money."
" What the American people are looking for leadership. They'll tell the truth about the situation that -- and when John McCain yesterday repeated that he thinks the fundamentals of our economy are strong. He underscored the fact that. He doesn't have a clear grasp of the crisis that the American people are facing right now on the middle class people are worried about losing their jobs they're worried about losing their homes and they don't need a pat on the head from John McCain that the American orders -- the race in the world they know that what they need is leadership in Washington who understands the urgency of this crisis. And has a plan to take it on. So how would you handle it because we're talking about things did not need the guy won't the deli guy on the block the pizza guy. Who is -- over spending beyond his means we're talking about major businesses welcome Barack Obama due to Wall Street. Well you know back in March when Bear Stearns had their first. That crisis. Barack Obama gave a speech where he talked about a financial. Regulatory framework that would increase accountability. And transparency and set Wall Street on the path to. You know strengthening in the markets and strengthening the financial institutions. Just at the same time John McCain was saying he's a deregulate air and he's surrounded by folks like Phil Gramm -- at the center of the biggest deregulation is that we've seen out of Washington and the things that have led us to the problems that we've got right now but you know even worse than that. Is that a guy like Phil Gramm who works so hard to deregulate the markets and help to destabilize. The position that we're in right now. He said that the crisis that we're facing his mental. He said the the American people are bunch of whiners but I. That's that's a grand children. The president was that was god and Phil Gramm is still in the chief adviser and probably the treasury Treasury Secretary if if John McCain is elected so. Those -- the people that John McCain surrounds himself let. His philosophy is that we need -- deregulation and that's you know that's that's sort of thinking that's got us into this mess that we're in right now."
" Okay will no doubt bill a lot of talk about the economy right now and how to figure it out how to solve it. But another thing that the Obama camp you included is trying to figure out is Sara -- and."
" I would say you know senate -- obviously. Has a record is. As a governor but the one that they've spun into myth about her opposition to the bridge to nowhere which she actually was for her opposition earmarks which. She actually asked for half a billion dollars worth. It's sort of been. It's -- to such a way that I think the American people don't have a clear sense of of what she's four except for the fact that she supports the same failed bush policy is that John McCain does and that's what's at issue here is that John McCain is pick someone who. Charlie Gibson is now spend more time interviewing for the job and John McCain did before heading to pick somebody like that for John McCain so how -- the Barack Obama can't. Planning to deal with that. Why would say first of all the polls are tight they were tight before the conventions they're tired right now we insisted that they're going to be -- all the way to the end. But the thing that the American people really care about me is who -- it that has a plan to actually take on the economy strengthen that. And create jobs in this country raising taxes though. So what what people ought to know is that it. Barack Obama is elected president 95% of Americans will get tax cut but a 100% of Americans will feel. The benefits of his economic plan whereas John McCain thinks -- what we need to do was cut taxes for the corporations and she leaves a 101 -- million Americans behind. We think the middle class -- tax cuts right now John McCain thinks it's a corporation sent him."
" Bill I was I was. Noodle around on the Internet today and I saw that Barack Obama and helpful. Yeah I know there's a lot of stuff out there and I'm not do an online shopping for buying something from Amazon overtime but I -- instead I think it was yesterday Barack Obama showed up and a rodeo. With a teleprompter. In the past he has used the teleprompter so much of those kind of events. They know what's -- on Ari are you just trying to control the message closer or are you worried about a gap why are we suddenly seeing teleprompters at rodeos."
" It's. Well has the McCain campaign. Full time -- Sarah Palin who -- a teleprompter ever since she got on on the campaign trail. And John McCain who's had. His issues with teleprompters I guess to put it mildly. Sometimes when you have something that is important that you want to delivered directly to the American people like. Barack Obama did yesterday and a message that he had about the urgency of economic crisis that we face in his plan to help strengthen middle class. You want to make sure that you you deliver that the clearest possible terms and that's what Senator Obama did yesterday and he is continuing to lay out that contrast between. His plan to strengthen the the -- so still fundamentally change our economic policies and John McCain's to just deliver more of the -- what we've had and so are. Are you just worry he's going to make mistaking you want to make sure that he just read the script exactly as it's written. Now I set on this that we view we're where we are in Denver red eye surgery not the teleprompter do sometimes I don't know accidentally leave you got a -- anger -- exactly what you're gonna. I I -- all right appear. This -- middle class and the problems that we need to fast right now are are right on the tip my good run for president the bill Mike -- I can't. Not yet. I have a quick question -- before we got this other piece -- Personally I broke out yesterday farm ministers of -- of Iraq says -- Barack Obama won -- one told him. Delay any announcement about a deal till after the election true or false who's lying false false complete fabric -- the former Senator Obama has been one of the that it's it's that the column was written by someone who's an ideologue. It's a fabrication Senator Obama has been on the forefront of making sure that we get our combat troops out of Iraq as soon as possible don't wait for election that went for an event. Give our troops out get them focused in Afghanistan where the terror networks are growing. Right away that's a place for the Bush Administration is finally getting into even John McCain is coming on our position. But that's -- focused on its there -- politics here when it comes advancing America's strategic interest around the world all right Bill Burton the -- has for years too young to run for president but is advising them. He doesn't know -- can tell a prime time. Aaron I think every year -- out I think to -- today with us. Thanks for having yes okay just in tribute to the burden Whitaker the prompted the rest of the ship won't."
