I don't understand the downvotes, I made the same observation. His answer started out much the same way the reporter's question did in terms of being ill-defined. Thankfully the reporter was mentally and verbally slow enough not to jump on it, and this man then elaborated with a concrete example of what he means.
Sadly, down-voting the real-life equivalent to giving another speaker a head-shake, as you walk by.
Pay attention to the ratio: four upvotes to ten downvotes. Stating a contrary opinion, even if it is unpopular, is always beneficial. This forum is meant for honest dialogue, and that should always be at the forefront of our minds and the purpose of our posts.
too many people are expressing that they think you are wrong by downvoting. they should just come here and say they think you are wrong. and in the interest of not commenting too many times, I think you are wrong in that you did not listen past the common sense thing.
I actually made it to about 2:05 into the video, before I stopped the playback. He first says "common sense" at about 1:34.

Most successful politicians know that the economy is what's on most voter's minds. Bill Clinton is remembered for his quote on the economy. This was why I remained skeptical of his words.
