But keep in mind, this is an ad that i didnt approve, i did not produce and as far as i can tell, has barely run. i think it ran once. now, in contrast, youve got governor romney creating as a centerpiece of his campaign this notion that were taking the work requirement out of welfare, which every single person here who has looked at it says is patently false. what hes arguing is somehow we have changed the welfare requirement, the work requirement in our welfare laws. and in fact, whats happene...

Romneys business record, because that was one of his strengths in an economic campaign, the romney campaign is going after what had been one of barack obamas strength in the 2008 campaign that he was going to bring hope and change and optimistic unity, and yet the tone of the campaign which mr. romney and mr. obama have a role in has been resoundingly negative for many weeks, and romney is trying to wrap it around the presidents neck. >> and congressman ryan is campaigning solo today. >> he is. ...

We have a $99.4 trillion unfunded liability. our government is making promises to americans that it has no way of accounting for them. so you are saying, were stabilizing but not fixing it in the long run, were going to keep lying to people. >> sean: here is my take. when we saw the effort to remove scottal wk they are wisconsin, it was telling to me that the people of wisconsin understand the times that we are living in. understand the dangers of deficit spending. it seems to me that with what ...
