Greg Corombos of Radio America and Jim Geraghty of National Review see a lot to like if Texas Gov. Rick Perry enters the 2012 campaign. We also slam a very misleading DNC video suggesting the GOP presidential debate was all about divisive social issues. And we shake our heads as President Obama partly blames ATMs and airport kiosks for high unemployment rate.
Three Martini Lunch 6/14/11
Greg Corombos of Radio America and Jim Geraghty of National Review applaud the GOP presidential hopefuls for keeping their focus on President Obama and not slamming each other. We also rip CNN for a terrible format and several ridiculous questions and marvel at Michelle Obama saying that her husband knows more than the people who brief him.
President In Over His Head
Republican South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson supports presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty. Wilson stresses how important the election of 2012 is for young Americans and shares why he believes Pawlenty is the best choice. As a member of both the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees, Wilson gives insight into issues in Afghanistan and Libya. He says Obama got us involved in a third war when we need to be completing the two we’re in.
‘Dumb, Dumb, Dumb’
University of Virginia Professor Larry Sabato discusses last night’s Republican Presidential debate in New Hampshire. Can Tim Pawlenty recover from a missed opportunity to go after Romney? Will Michele Bachmann’s performance scare Sarah Palin out of running? What does he have to say about the ‘this or that’ questioning? We discuss it all with Larry Sabato.
Walk and Chew Gum
Former United Nations Ambassador and possible 2012 presidential candidate John Bolton expresses his concerns that foreign policy was not discussed enough in last night’s presidential debate. Will his dissatisfaction nudge him closer to running for president? He believes the Republican Party is abandoning one of its bedrocks to political success: a strong national defense.
‘I Think He Took a Wrong Turn’
Retired U.S. Army General Paul Vallely gives his insight on Somali forces recently killing the man behind the 1998 embassy bombings as well as recent developments in Libya.
Target: Romney?
Associate politics editor at CQ Roll Call Christina Bellantoni discusses what could be expected from the Republican presidential debate tonight. She reveals who’s head may be on the criticism chopping block tonight: Pawlenty compares Romney’s healthcare plan in Massachusetts is compared to Obamacare and Gingrich may face criticism for the ‘mass exodus’ his staffers created.
Inheriting the Bill
Brittany Brady of Radio America delves into the effects of the nation’s growing debt on today’s young Americans and just how big the problem has become. What is the response from those who will be stuck with the bill for today’s government spending?
Three Martini Lunch 6/13/11
Greg Corombos of Radio America and Jim Geraghty of National Review laugh at the mainstream media’s expense after they did not find any dirt in Sarah Palin’s emails. They also wonder why Obama and DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz are in denial about the economy and are completely dumbfounded about the further unfolding of Rep. Anthony Weiner’s scandal.
The Roemer Agenda
Former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer lays out his prescriptions for fostering job creation, helping small business owners, reducing America’s debt and making us energy independent within a decade. What are the keys to building a strong economy again? What is stifling job creation? And how can we be energy independent? We talk about all these issues with 2012 Republican presidential hopeful Buddy Roemer.
