" We did the Jesus was some kind of right Winger who who developed this concept and decided there we -- Jesus on the on the right that's our guy. And you liberals you're not Jesus people like we'll -- and then ever."

" using religion to consolidate public opinion is nothing new networks you know all over the world but. He's right about he's right about congressman Joe -- by the way if you -- colonists to 024561111. Just call in just yelled liar into the -- forward its two other raiders are the most fanatical people -- on that tonight you know that the Aurilia give up until we should call him and yelled liar you know did apologize -- our ports when he called Rahm Emanuel earlier tonight. After the speech and apologized rightly did and didn't say he was wrong didn't say he was -- Yes yes -- he was sorry if anybody know he did say he was a -- upon these non apology Apollo is like my life and I'll say you know I'm sorry plant -- it does apology. If I offended you. I think that went right wing but -- continues to be south Carolina's leading export this guy Lindsay Graham and -- Argentina to we could do it Jeff in Williamsburg Kentucky."

" in general John good evening yeah the president on the conservative. And I are there to fight for the first time actually articulate something. That he -- very it would support. And and he actually laid out not a -- but they talked about or reform. When the DNC. DNC chairman -- we're not even negotiate."

" I'm attending a John to Howard Dean. On the heartbreak. That wouldn't that. -- JD -- and went and bought it yet but I should say Verizon is actually performer. Who had hit records like big bad John and then he became known as the sausage guy but now. Like Paul McCartney isn't -- the before wings began to."

" The president actually -- something out on the table but I could agree little lot of have a parent now I have it. Now hey what vertigo."

" I think it would immediately where the llamas are not."

" You know my skeptic Allen."

" Let's -- can ask the question do you think that if they pass tort reform and they put caps on on malpractice suits. Do you think that'll bring doctors cost down for real or -- build a stay that way they are."

" You know I think it basically that's what killed me let you can't they would focus that is certain areas mostly go to North Dakota or South Dakota or someone like that where you don't build jury shopping. It all out a very big impact for you or someone like Mississippi New York, New York -- Our way and try to form an error is -- what he called. Experiment. You may have been hit by down cost."

" Pilot for -- PO all right thank you remnants that are assist skeptics now I mean that it found to be out their read any than Obama -- that you actually see this feature I just says he's ready for this program. This sort of -- my squat thrusts of no luck. I did to the speech I still don't know peace to the public option under the bus or not I can't tell continue to tell me Allen I don't O'Reilly I was -- Riley said he thought he did I thought he did so I didn't think he did. It would only did -- other idea he's leaving wiggle room there -- think there's too much for the rooms a well I think who I think you know tort reform is is a big issue for a lot of conservatives that some Democrats as well I know Sarah Palin thinks tort reformer for it rehabilitation for evil pastries. But I -- that may be the bone he throws the right to get this -- well what's the cut on now public option we know which when that it currently here's what he said about public."

" It's worth noting. The strong majority of Americans still favor public insurance option of the sort I propose tonight but. Its impact shouldn't be exaggerated by the left. Where the right where the media. It is only one part of my point. And shouldn't be used as a handy excuse for the usual Washington ideological battles."

" One little -- lead Barnett is easily dispensable part of my plan is one part of the night went on to say this my progressive friends I would remind you that for decades the driving idea behind reform. Has been to an insurance company abuses and make coverage available for those without."

" The public and we got from the public option is only a means to that end. We should remain open to other ideas -- accomplish our ultimate goal Mike pride in my Republican friends. I say that rather than making wild claims about a government take over health care. We should work together to address any legitimate concerns you may have."

" Well I thought isn't a new round of row row row your boat and everybody now but it was easy to moderate."

" Well first thought -- conciliatory has no Republican friends watching him credit because people love and it's like watching -- all those years with -- you know that's like a tailback Larry. These guys are gonna do anything they have to obstruct a lot of these guys. You know Chuck Grassley -- announcing he wants to help but at the end of the day Chuck Grassley -- answer to the Republican party of Iowa. Think about how conservative your average Republican is -- imagine Iowa. -- And now does it really that they don't I don't honestly for me you know what I found so for the first time tonight McCain's -- Again but yes he did he honored McCain in the speech and you McCain was in there was -- got a thumbs up on that one -- was he was that particular month."

" This exchange will take effect in four years. Which will give us time to do it right. In the meantime for those Americans who can't get insurance today. Because they're pre existing medical conditions we want -- immediately offer low cost coverage don't protect you against financial ruin if you become seriously ill. This was a good idea when Senator John McCain propose that in the campaign. It's a good idea now and we should all breaks."

" Racing hot debate as he's walking up to the podium and glad -- everybody he did a very warm embrace of Hillary Clinton -- yes I did see that really was that was almost like the gore tipper kiss. -- Alberto is they really seem to have a warm a moment well I think they do and and you know considering the the only politician to have had a good summer was Bill Clinton. I haven't got a nice that the other two that we're kind of forgotten for the last month after Korea I never thought I'd see the whole world. You know cheering for Bill Clinton to bring home to Asian women -- says Jones -- they're probably Hillary embraced Obama tonight more than the -- embrace your husband seems over the it would seem that way yeah but you know it's going to be interesting to see now what she does because she's been so quiet on health -- issue. And you know he did bring up about how -- the onslaught of the of the insurance company money fifteen years ago the torpedoed them. But one thing I heard mentioned today was. You know back when the clintons try to do this there was no Internet there was no organized online progressive left -- to push and that well and what we've seen even by him still -- you know they -- single -- under the bus immediately but the fact that he still -- public option shows the power that organized progressives and people of conscience have."

were all that different accident on many shows where I was for Senator Clinton . There on the basic fundamental issues they were both Liberal Democrats. And they had very similar positions on the environment. On the war. Which -- of course disagreed then Senator Obama insisted that he differ that much with her on the war. So I don't think he's more than anything I think he is a progressive Democrat as -- is Hillary Clinton. And in terms of shifts towards the center that's a very traditional concept in both parties. Who go to the base -- nominated -- well senator can get elected -- the Michael -- I gotta tell if I had to -- one great -- for for Senator John McCain it was last -- he gave up ten points in the polls you know Barack Obama then you know the Berlin bounce

be the Democratic Party nominee. And he was a longshot to defeat Senator Clinton I was on the opposite end of that long shot and -- fantastic campaign and does Senator Clinton . Wasn't successful and he was so I think how can call me an underdog when he's when he's way ahead in the polls what this is what I challenge and I don't think that's an accurate. Description. The polls are very tight right now -- the largest margin in any of the polls Gallup restaurants and any of them. Is maybe 45 points right close to the margin of error in for Senator McCain be that close I've said before. Senator Obama is in a tight race she's got to work hard to earn a lot of people's support. He is working hard and
