We had an election and absolutely nothing that matters has changed. Nothing!
Chris reviews the weekend of Presidential campaigning that culminated with Mitt Romney's stop in Bucks County. He talks to Michael Bronstein and Colin Hanna on the Monday Morning Matchup, John Elison, the winner of 1210 WPHT's Yes I Built It Contest, and the Republican Chairmen from the collar counties of Philadelphia.
For all the billions spent by the Obama and Romney campaigns, Republican and Democratic parties, and countless outside groups, we may wake up November 7th to a Washington that is virtually unchanged.
While the "left" has distracted the campaign much too long by screaming about Romney's tax information for months, the "right" has been asking for President Barack Obama's academic records and other documents for years. The president should take his turn at disclosing long asked for documents.
If the GOP wants a candidate to "man up", they should tell Mitt Romney to grow up and stop hiding his returns and stop disparaging working Americans for meeting their tax obligations while he dodges his.
It may be too late for Harry Reid to "save face", but it's not too late for him to "man up" and apologize to Mitt Romney – as well as the American public for his misinformation or lies – like any decent human being would.
The most ridiculously annoying aspect of the Democratic political run for offices in 2012 is the incredibly long line of leftist millionaires who continually spew extreme hate and venom on the wealthy. Beyond having to "share the wealth", now Democrats are saying it's "never get the wealth".
What a difference four horrendous years makes. Thinking back to the Democratic National Convention of 2008 and now seeing what's going on in Charlotte, North Carolina this week at the Democratic National Convention of 2012 shows stark differences. The Democrats have no star power and pale in comparison to the Republicans' star-packed convention in Tampa.
Being president does not give a person license to disrespect opponents, and the disrespect and intolerance from Obama when a different opinion is expressed has been atrocious.
Mitt Romney is the person who needs to put up or shut up in his dispute with Harry Reid. There is no reason to believe a word he is saying about his taxes.
In an effort to distract voters from his tax records, W. Mitt Romney launched a four pronged push back yesterday. Romney's problem: each move revealed more about the problems with his floundering campaign.
Forget Romney's taxes that will simply confirm his wealthy. Let's see Obama's college transcripts and find out what is necessary for him to hide.
The blatant lies and the desperate spins generated from the "left" have been absolutely frightening. What's extremely sad for them is that they don't have a prayer of keeping the White House without creating lies and spinning obvious negatives into self-reported positives.
Chris discusses the death, at Eagles training camp, of Andy Reid's son, Garrett ,with Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the voice of the Eagles, Merrill Reese. He also talks to Jeff Roe and Michael Bronstein on the Monday Morning Matchup about the controversy still swirling around Mitt Romney's tax returns and to Phillies Manager Charlie Manuel, about another walk off win against the Diamondbacks yesterday.
Chris discusses the latest controversy about Mitt Romney's tax returns and President Obama's appearance on a sports talk radio show in Columbus Ohio. He talks to Steve Cordasco on Finance Friday and CBS 3's Beasley Reece about the Phillies moves at the trade deadline.
An investor in Bain told Senator Reid that Mitt Romney had not paid any taxes over a ten year period, but maybe the more intriguing story is who else he hasn't been sending money to in years past.
How dare Harry Reid, the Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate, spew his latest unsubstantiated rumors against Mitt Romney?
One would think that Obama and his White House would want to keep the name Solyndra as far from the headlines as possible. Yet, President Obama is rubbing elbows with key players in the Solyndra stimulus disaster at a high-priced fundraiser where donors paid $35,800-per-person.
Harry Reid got – as he often does – in calling Republican donors "angry old white men". Imagine the reaction if House Speaker John Boehner were to say something such as: support or donations to Obama made by 17 angry black men.
Chris details the latest potlical attacks on Mitt Romney's tenure at Bain Capital and discuesses them with Jeff Roe and Michael Bronstein on the Monday Morning Matchup. He also talks to former RNC Chairman Michael Steele and Phillies Manager Charlie Manuel after starting the second half of the season by winning two out of three in Colorado.
Happy April Fools Day. Chris welcomes mayoral candidate Milton Street into the Talk Radio 1210 studio. He gets ready for Phillies Opening Day with Beasley Reece, talks to Steve Cordasco on Finance Friday and talks to Congressman Steve King about the lastest in the budget battle.
