Rove Reacts

" That is in them now the -- right now as we get our analysis with Fox News commentator Carl rose in Washington. Mr. rove the best moment. For Barack Obama I think you touched on at the moment where you showed some empathy with people around the country making the sacrifice but I. I think your overall analysis of pretty pretty accurate that he was a million in -- the night going over the talking points. No -- no passion no real connection he was looking for a chance to say. Green jobs energy green jobs and invest in education and -- control health care costs and that's that's all he really wanted to drive home tonight he did so."

" Do you do you think he wanted to be boring -- was we're watching it and remember we're getting paid -- you're getting paid I didn't pay. We didn't but I'm sounds are trying to figure somebody you work hard all day. Comes home from more -- sit through that I felt like it was at the Kennedy school at Harvard you know. And I was soon boring professor -- the same thing over and over again I'm going -- what do you think he no homes. That the thirteen questions in an hour that he blow created all over the place that he -- was repetitive do you think he knows as you want to do that."

" Well like I don't know I think look got I've always said I think he's sort of an arrogant guy and I think he thinks that I'm showing how much I -- commander this material and on top by -- and I'm doing the right thing by reciting talking points. And by saying things that are simply not true I could not believe it tonight. We're gonna move from an era of borrow and spend to save and invest this is a man who's proposing to add nine point three. Trillion dollars to the national debt in the next ten years and that's going to be an era of of statements."

" Six president -- and that's going to say look. Your head's gonna blow off look again let's let's let's get the folks at home now they're they're sitting at home. They don't -- nine point six trillion from. What this and nobody could possibly know which two bit you kids can't -- you have the let's let's put it simpler terms he wants to deliberately. Double the size of the national debt in five years and triple it in ten years have -- because your value because it's going to lead to prosperity. He's going to change the economy's going to change the energy he's going to change their health system it's all -- didn't change -- investigate anyway if isolating us if if that was leading to prosperity don't you think the deficits would be getting smaller I mean let's think about this. He says I'm gonna control health care costs by dramatically increasing the size of the federal government spending on health care -- up please explain that to me. Because -- how it's really -- totally see how warm. He'd begun will have a little bit -- system and dictate and ration care and while dictate how much. You can spend on this how much you can spend on that that's that that's the vision. The socialist vision. Of medicine is the government runs the government tells the doctors what they can charge. The -- companies they know the medicine companies what they can charge you know that that's that's the rationale. That's -- but if you look at it. He's leaving the impression that he's going to be spending less on health care because we're going to control health care cause he's gonna look at -- budget document. If you look at is -- budget document he dramatically expand spending on health care mean this is why this is duplicitous this is misleading. Okay all -- now. What about the press they sit there and ask these questions. And he just bamboozled -- I think back to my interview with him. Which I enjoyed immensely and I thought he did very well Barack Obama did very well. I was right I was like her who I was like right there you know and it was there was only like six or seven inches between and every time you start to get off on its -- it."

" I don't write it like this because. He and his professorial. That's that's what you know it's so it doesn't matter if the press is there or not they can't as a recording."

" Question go --"

" I just. Have to say this though they were a little bit more tonight -- chip Reid got thought it was and usually ask a very tough question on the budget. Mike Allen ask a very tough question on on his proposal doesn't matter what -- charitable deduction it doesn't matter -- whoever wants to answer. I understand it but what really matters is the average American is -- there were average Americans watching this tonight and -- stuck through the thing. When they -- chip Reid ask a tough question about what you say you don't want to pass on. Problems to the future well what about your huge deficits in your budget and they hear Barack Obama's non response response. They're they're gonna draw conclusions there is a reason why anger is growing in this country there is a reason why people are holding spontaneous tea parties there is a reason why. We hear all over Nash's suspect you hear the same thing I do in your travels people are getting very concerned and anxious and in some instances I."

" Really I -- of -- of the country people rally around something like AIG which is so simple to understand -- everybody gets. Look the telling moment for me and I -- the talking points memo was when Jake Tapper from ABC a good to report. Says a very simple thing. Mr. President we you veto the bill if it doesn't have you little cap. And thing on the energy deal. Or a middle class tax rebates not tax cut its attacks reduce any money right if that's -- in there will you veto it now. That's a simple yes or no deal. -- wouldn't answer."

" Right. You know -- you do in prepped for it preparing for these news conferences you do know that those kind of questions are coming in a president doesn't want to look like he's ready to cut a deal right here at the beginning I listen to process so there's a little bit. There's a little bit of I do have to defend him a little bit here because he does want to say in essence what I got its going to be -- there. But again you know if he looked to me and that answer like he was sort of -- many -- randomly -- BC yeah just what you said hey look Jake."

" I can't tell you what I'm gonna do what I'm gonna veto what I'm not going to veto until I see the whole thing thing right that's today I'm -- for this every step of the way right exactly right self. I don't know I had. Mr. all right guys these performance I love this I I just want a little more verve and an old brought that Obama can deliver that but I don't think he wanted candor I think he didn't want -- to -- everybody."
