" Some. Now for the top story. Is President Obama losing some of this court support be possible controversy here now political analyst Dick Morris author of the big seller catastrophe. Core support. President Obama. Is a fully. -- More importantly the course supporter of the democratic party's -- Democratic Party is based on six special interest building blocks blacks Latinos. Single women. Young people labor union members and senior citizens have -- since. Secretary. And senior citizens as the last one of the largest and there angry about the so furious. And what is happening now what's at stake here it's not just some blip in the -- This goes back to Social Security being passed in 1937. When they became Democrats because of FDR. Medicare being passed in 65 when -- reinforced that under Johnson. The Democratic Party could now be losing the elderly. That is a fundamental seismic shift what is in one incident is the elderly fear about the Obama care plan that that won't get the medical care they need -- and -- they'll be rationed out because it'll go to younger people. When the government says who gets one that's what they fear the -- it's a massive transfer of 200 billion dollars from old people. To young people primarily meant in at least at immigrants. Okay now there's also a Medicare component that is because the Obama administration has to cut back on Medicare payments. In order to do this big federal at the treasure. Right. Yield of people angry about. Furious about it and figured more than angry I think this scare which they -- Obama says we're not cutting Medicare benefits technically true. But what he is doing is he's gonna cut Medicare reimburse birth right and so tells them people won't take it that some doctors and doctors won't take it right or he get less money for each MRI you don't have them all right as many MR -- tests that might be good to get running -- some good some bad all right so -- among nobody really office visit. You were at the door and thirty seconds not."

" The most important thing for Americans and I think everybody would agree security. Personal security and security to protect them against the evils of the world -- so the old elderly Americans I think that's what's making up most of this poll. I think my security is in danger here because I -- And I am going to have medical problems and this seismic shift is gonna negatively impact me it's as simple as that is enough that's all it is okay. Now let's get on to my theory here and listen to the brilliance of this -- I submit that every time a Barney Frank a Barbara Boxer and Nancy Pelosi. Are any of these far left bomb throwers to get out there. And start to tell people that there idiots. Okay as mr. frank obviously did. That hurts Obama. Because by sticking up for Obama care these people associate themselves with the present so the president is now being demonized by his own crew."

" Right I think that's absolutely true I think that -- that's. Young people turned against Richard Nixon. When he demonize the protesters. Because they were like the protesters but they would just a small group with a population. Now the mainstream senior citizens find themselves being mocked ridiculed -- righted by the left by the Obama people. And I don't think they're very happy with."

" So you've got a real strong 12 punch in Obama land he's losing senior citizens support much of which is Democrat. Do you think you're gonna flee the whole Democratic Party and go over the GOP absolutely I think that. Think of education that's an issue for parents primarily now. Healthcare is an issue for seniors primarily OK so you can lose or is losing big block of old bush that put him into office and the Democratic Party -- to be exact 14% of the vote okay and then. You have -- far left mostly. Very vocal in support of Obama care that he is now -- Obama who ran as a moderate. Is now being put into that jaw are just because they support him the box."

" When I was on your program in November and December after Obama was elected. I quoted the advice they gave President Clinton at the right after he won the election. And I said if you only look to the Democrats should you let them we view. They will make to a creature of the far left much farther left. Then you wanna be line why they do that because their leftist and if you need every single democratic vote. He got to get every single leftist you gotta get Barney franks and vote. And to get that you've got to move to the left."

" Now Obama I think willingly moved to the left but he's got to go to the left to get those."

" I think he understands last question these seismic shift. In. Senior citizens and in the perception that he is now. Obama is now off while if god does the president understand what's happening yes. Yes absolutely completely but as far as he's concerned. Sitting where he's sitting. He believes in his principles more than he believes in getting reelected is one of the first presidents we can say that happened to his credit or discredit. And he's got sixty votes in the Senate 78 vote margin in the half and then left the elderly. Read the fact some catastrophe my book and other places. Use those facts too deep blue senators and congressmen with letters right now during this recess. He will take the loss in the polls and march those guys open play all right big march."
