AUSTAN GOOLSBEE: Look, we can go through the Obama record if you like.
SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Doubling of the debt.

HANNITY: Alright, I feel like I've been a little bit unfair to you in this segment. Go ahead, I'll give you a chance to say “In the eighth year of Obama,” and the economy sucks, tell us why you think it's great.

The poverty rate rose more under Ronald Reagan than it has under Barack Obama. You never want to say that.
