uh what are your thoughts
well uh interestingly enough i've been reading in the paper about uh the option that says basically none of the above
yeah
and and uh given the choices that's sometimes how i feel i generally support President Bush and i feel like he gets a lot of bad press you know the the economy is really not his fault i don't think
uh-huh
no no
but uh as far as anybody else running i think
wow is this the best we have to offer two hundred fifty million people to choose from and this is what we get
uh-huh
uh-huh
uh-huh yeah i uh uh on Sunday night i was listening uh listening to uh the radio and they had they had speculated that uh there was some rumor that Tsongas was thinking of running again
yeah what i heard this morning is that although he has dropped out he's still got a lot of support in New York apparently
uh-huh
and today today you know it today is the New York primary and they seem to be saying that if he got a good he's still on the ballot in New York and they said if he got a good showing in New York then he would jump back in
uh-huh
well that doesn't that seem sort of uh
uh
it doesn't seem seem like it's useful for him to uh doesn't it seem like a waste of money though for him to come back into the race this late uh what are his chances of winning at this point
well obviously he thought they weren't too good if he if he backed out
exactly
uh
i don't know maybe you know New York is a big primary
uh-huh
and there are a lot of others still to come maybe he feels like if he can carry New York strongly then he could still make it
uh-huh sure
but uh i don't know
yeah what what did you think about the Buchanan this term
uh
it's hard to say it's nice to get somebody in there i would certainly never vote for him as far as i know
uh-huh uh-huh
but it it's nice to have somebody else bring some issues to the front and at least ask the President some questions and have him have to defend himself
yeah
so i think in that sense it's good i don't think that uh he's experienced enough to do the job uh
uh-huh
on the other hand maybe he is i mean the newspaper men tell us all the politics anyway so maybe he can just go ahead and keep doing it
uh-huh
right right well it's yeah i i agree with you it does seem that he came in and kind of fluffed the pillows uh you know uh for the campaign for the campaign anyway so we didn't have to hear the same thing again
how about you
yeah
uh we didn't have to uh we didn't have to ignore a lot of uh Bush's success because you know he really did a lot in the last term he uh
with with the Gulf War and all we could have we could have had our judgement clouded just by his his accomplishments you know i i really do think i am going to vote for him again next term but
um-hum
but uh i wanted to know exactly everything that happened you know a lot of times maybe i forget
well when you look at it too how much does the Gulf War really count i mean how for example how much has it helped us as as a people
oh sure
i'm sure that we can say it helped the uh enemy rate of Kuwait um and uh sure it shook a people a few people up in Iraq but
uh-huh
uh-huh
is is that a success or is that just sort of uh part of the job description as far as the President goes
right
right uh what what i mean is though the strong sense of uh nationalism that occurred you know right after the war uh sort of heroized George Bush you know whether or not it was you know a success for us or whatnot he tended to come out of the out of the
yeah
experience you know as the great American hero and uh
oh yeah yeah his his popularity was somewhere close to ninety percent at the time
yeah yeah
and it
so i i i am i'm glad that uh he can't get into office this time without at least uh addressing a lot of the the home front issues
yeah
uh-huh
and uh well Todd uh it sounds like uh
we may have covered a uh a minuscule portion of politics today
a very minuscule portion so what about Libya
what about Libya i have no idea what to say about
yeah
you you've heard of the goings on there i guess
yeah i i don't know uh
if you know if you'd asked me the same question about uh uh Kuwait you know at this early in the game i don't what i would have said then either i i don't
uh now of course the last time i listened to anything was on Sunday
uh and they had still refused uh the concessions by the Security Council so
i thought it was let i have to make sure i get the uh stories right because because there was also yesterday the attract the attacks on the Embassy but now didn't Libya
right
