" I'm governor we're being -- the business he could fox I look at market reacts -- event I don't know a lot of folks in the markets and and they say that they're just concerned about this direction with the government assumes control one more industries nevermind some of them we're going to happen when the governor. Or the president rested their -- behind -- in the financial rescue but nevertheless they're concerned about this direction you know that that. The government is assuming a larger and larger role do you think that direction is being called into question. Tonight and that voters are in part saying. Slow down."

" I think your point is well trigger as it relates to a lot of independent leaning voters people who go to bed at -- Republicans. Our democratic voters but to say look we don't think government's bad thing. We're not saying that government can't run and can't be effective. We're not against supporting government really -- against supporters of taxes and that what it and your point well to slow and -- the -- Just a bit. Don't put -- me that I can stand don't -- only that I can visualize. And for God's sake don't put it All My Children. Because I want government to work a lot of support government work -- but I think we might be moving a bit fast. And I have a one word definition for politics may have that's money. When you separate letter from politics that you. Unfortunately as you go ahead and -- and it in this case. The government has got to understand that whatever money is that a bed. Along to the tax payers. Got to make certain that his but it was that is stewards of that trust. And that you carrying out what they want you to do that -- you. Decide to do -- so."

" You have to do it you governor when you were governor and then answer my license you ticked everybody off. You get everyone really annoyed on both parties and I say that's certainly an ice -- Song and let me ask you about this direction the Obama administration is taking do you think today. Decided to handle too much too -- that that would Eddy at president wilder for example. Have gone ahead and -- let's say for health care or some of these other things. Simultaneously. With stimulus in and financial rescues and and you know financial. The regulatory reform men and the whole shooting works and all those cars all. Would have president wilder -- gone slower or or did the times dictate doing a lot. Very fast."

" Well obviously got out on it please. You've got Afghanistan you've got to read. You've got campaign promises -- go camping in places. You've got also to consider where we as it relates to this. And deficit. And you gotta consider -- so where Newman has will be coming forth and if they will be coming at all. Now once that happens than the politician -- say okay if I'm ought to do this can I get this done. If so who's going to do it. If I do this for you are you going to be supporting me on this and other words it's like a -- let us reason together. How much can we get then can we get a smaller health care package. And then incrementally. Entries that with the passage of a few years and pay for it and it'll cost -- about. Always going to be able to get -- surplus all of these stimulus. Directed in this instance and if so can we have something visible. I think the -- tour at all O'Neal is what can the American people visualized. And seen as the lone accomplishment. But what all of those efforts have wrought whether that's health care -- understood to have shall not when you break it all down. What did we gain in what have we seen in this period of time that is -- And what all of the resources that have been poured into it what do we get. And that's the key and if that counselors are no more forthcoming that have been at this point. They would get -- to do. A level."

" Covenants and it was a real real pleasure very good having -- thank you very much. I look forward to look I look forward to coming -- good thank you very much it is good luck for coming out of your shell and seems to be working so keep it up to keep it. Governor that's enough of a real a real -- it does bother he made hits -- the first African American elected governor. Any stay any nice pave the way -- Barack Obama. "
