prprressive filmmaker, michael moore had this question that he wanted me to ask you. quote, are you aware of how profoundly disappointed so many of the president's supporters are? do you realize that each time the president moves to the right, he picks up no votes and loses many? or do you cynically believe that because these people have nowhere else to go, they'll end up voting for obama? how do you respond to liberals like michael moore, who want to vote for the president, but are profoundly disappointed? how do you convince them to turn out in november 2012? >> well, first of all, no one is cynically moving one way or the other. the president is not moving left or right. he's interested in moving the country forward. we've got a very, very sharp debate here. and the question is, are we going to take steps in a short run to help stimulate this economy, to help create jobs, to help create growth and are we going to take the steps in the long run that will protect the investments that can grow our economy and most importantly, jake, can create good middle class jobs i
