4. [ cheers and applause ] so here is the choice, here is the choice in 2012, mitt romney out of touch at home, out of his depth abroad and out of the main stream. barak obama, a president who is getting new life and truth to america s indispensable role in the world. a commander in chief who gives our troops the tools and training they need in war, the honor and help they have earned when they come home. a man, a man, a man who will never ask other men and women to fight a war without a plan to win the peace. let me say something else. let me say something else.
he s failed and working with the republican congress and the democrat senate in passing a jobs bill that will actually make a difference, so, now, the proof is in the pudding and he has to put forth true policy that will create a better america and seemed a bit detached. kelly: jehmu, we hear angela loud and clear and what they stated the government or i mean, the president s policies have failed and we also heard the president talk about that congress has to be doing something about getting a decent jobs bill passed. exactly, kelly. now, there s no denying that governor romney, governor christy, mitch mcconnell, they have a lot of fun with the six words that were taken out of context. now, some people say he dialed it back, i think it s more a matter of putting it into context and actually, making sure that people understand the nuance of what he was saying. don t we just like lament the death of nuance in this new
president s comments, responding just minutes after that. he said the private sector is doing fine. is he really that out of touch? i think he s defining what it means to be detached and out of touch with the american people. kelly: so just who has it right? joining me to discuss this is angela mcglowan, a fox news political analyst, jehmu green, fox news contributor and former president of the women s media center. thank you for jong me. thank you for having us. kelly: let s get your perspectives what unfolded on friday as the president delivered the press conference and dialing it back after realizing what he said made him appear to be in the words of mitt romney, or governor mitt romney out of touch. angela, what say you about this? well, goes to show, kelly, this liberal strategy that the president s had in his campaign of saying what they think the american people want to hear isn t working anymore. he failed in his policies to create more jobs.
conference yesterday, about the economy. the remarks creating a backlash from critics after the president said that if the private sector is doing, quote, doing fine. take a listen. the truth of the matter is that, as i said, we created 4.3 million jobs over the last two 27 months. over 800,000 just this year alone. the private sector is doing fine. kelly: hours later, mr. obama immediately backed away from those comments, hoping instead to clarify his earlier point. the economy is not doing fine. there are too many people out of work, and the housing market is still weak and too many homes underwater. and that s precisely why i asked congress to start taking some steps that can make a difference. kelly: on the campaign trail, as you can imagine, presumptive nominee, mitt romney took aim at the
going on out there in terms of people. 8.2%. right. kelly: you both are stating that something has to be done, the question is, will congress and the president agree between now and the election to get something done. they should. congress is getting paid to go to work every single day. instead of working at really looking at how they can make sure that teachers and firemen and women and policemen and women are not laid off. i mean, when we re talking about things taken out of context, look at four words that governor romney said, i like firing people, his response to president obama s comments in the press conference, i think that was the real news of the day. kelly: all right. he basically said the president wants to hire teachers and firemen and policemen and the and the final word. and mitt romney is not the president mitt romney is not the president and the only proven way that we can increase prosperity and reduce poverty is individual responsibility,
