president obama at a conference held at loyola university in chicago in october 1998 and it gives you a clue to the true obama. i think the trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution, because i actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level to make sure that everybody s got a shot. all right, you heard him say it, redistribution, i m not shocked at that, we just wanted to play this tape. a growing number of conservatives are telling mitt romney, own that 40% video, fix your campaign or you re going to lose the election, some are using the words to describe mitt romney as cowardly. if mitt stays on message, he s going to do just fine. new numbers out from the congressional budget office show that 6 million americans will be hit with obama care taxes. these are middle class americans, they ll be hit the hardest, a 50% jump from last year s estimate. ed lazier is going to tell us
said it differently, that s for sure. but the point still stands. 48 days to go, our new nbc news/ wall street journal poll shows president obama has a five-point lead among likely voters. who s still up for grabs? what did clint eastwood think about his appearance with that chair? i just was having fun. you figure somebody asked you to go to somebody is dumb enough to ask me to go to a political convention and say something, they re going to have to take what they get. good day. i m andrea mitchell live in washington. mitt romney talking about something barack obama supposedly said 14 years ago, hoping to change the subject, from what romney said to wealthy donors in boca raton last may as captured on the hidden camera. with 48 days until election day romney faces challenges. according to our new nbc news swaults journal poll with the president hitting 50% approval, a first for president obama dead even with governor romney when it comes to is better equipped to han
to persuade american that is we can get out of the quagmire that has lasted too long. rom romney romney s challenge? to convince america we need economic change and he s the man for the job. new tonight, 20 million watched his running mate paul ryan introduce himself. it was this line you are about to hear that worries conservative supply siders that romney-ryan may be giving up the tax cut message. please take a listen. after four years of government trying to divide up the wealth we will get america creating wealth again. [ applause ] with tax fairness, regulatory reform. we ll put government back on the side of men and women who create jobs. all right. i know paul ryan for many years. i know he is a tax cutter and a supply sider. but that word tax fairness troubles me enormously. there is speculation that someone in the romney camp deliberately put those words into it. tax fairness? ryan doesn t believe in the left wing class warfare tax the rich tax fairness idea. tha
are republicans trying to keep the governor in the statehouse and holding the president s feet to the fire? well, the governor has said this whole race is about whether the state will move forward or move backward. it was interesting the other day that the president flew over wisconsin twice. we have 25 offices across the state. thousands of people pounding on doors. we have seen excitement on our side that we haven t seen in years and frankly the democrats helped provide it to us by going on with the recall. was mitt romney there to campaign? he actually wasn t here to campaign. he was campaigning for himself. our case has been so strong. we don t need anyone else to campaign. the democrats have been behind in the polls. it is a close race. they needed other people to campaign for tom barrett. that really hasn t happened. i know you will have to ask the democratic national committee about that. i know what the rnc chairman preibus talked about that. president clinton
