there is mitt romney who tried to fake compassion to ask people to bring food to a rally. and when they don t do it, they take $5,000 and go to wal-mart and buy food to pass out to the people coming to the rally. so he can get his picture taken loading boxes on a truck. andrea: that is so disgusting. bob: not disgusting that his campaign bought that stuff. andrea: he is trying to help hurricane relief victims. can t you leave politics out of it? if they criticized obama and they re not doing, there would be uproar. bob: the romney cam spain not doing it? andrea: i haven t heard romney bob: i was wrong about romney yesterday. i should have said his surrogates are the ones taking enowhere in mouse advantage of this thing enormous advantage of this. they went to wal-mart, they handed things to hand to romney. what is that about? why didn t he take $5,000 and send where it they needed it?

That man, mitt romney? that one of the big questions everybody is talking about. here with reaction from the romney cam is artur davis, the co-chair for president obama s 2008 campaign but he is now a supporter of governor romney. good morning. you are is a said a supporter now. you had one of the prominent speeches at the rnc this year. what did you think of how your man did last night? i think had the most decisive begin in deet bait any scd candidate has had in the last 20 years. i ll be bipartisan about it. the two best debaters have been mitt romney and bill clinton in 1992. it was a decisive win on substance. mitt romney countered barack obama last night. came back at the president in a respectful way and the president didn t have answers. it was a win on substance last
i don t know if that s the chief danger. certainly it is a danger. one of the interesting things about that particular state, you know, just to talk about the location a little bit more is that with the economy struggling so much, with housing struggling, with unemployment so high in that state in nevada, that state really reveals a lot of the weaknesses of romney and the romney campaign. romney s entire message is that the economy is struggling and it s obama s fault and therefore you should vote for me. yet, romney is behind in every single poll that i m aware of in nevada. he hasn t been able to wrap it up in this state with one of the worst economies in the united states. that really shows, you know, the limits of that message and how much his campaign is struggling to get it across. craig, can we talk about is it okay if i talk about roger ales for a second? is it somehow connected to this, or do you just have an urge to talk about roger ales right now? it s connected.
Ryan. the response was slow. it was confused. it was inconsistent. they first said that it was a youtube video and a spontaneous mob. we now know it was a planned terrorist attack. if this was one tragic incident, that would be a tragedy in and of itself. the problem is it s part of a bigger picture in the fact that the obama foreign policy is unraveling literally before our eyes and tv screens. joining me now, the press secretary for the democratic national committee. good afternoon. good afternoon, craig. thanks so much for having me. the major criticism here is the administration put out mixed messages after the attack, but in defending itself, the campaign still seems to be putting out mixed messages. the romney cam calling attention to these statements. david axelrod and david pluff today. take a listen. the. president called it an act of terror the day after it happened. based on the recommendations in the investigation of the
That the leadership has been using has been about division. the middle class. the 1%. the wealthy, the 99. we are putting people in boxes. we are all americans. this is about americans. would i like to see the discourse elevated to say this isn t what the people want. i don t think any of us on this panel want that. megyn: you worked for president clinton. there is maybe a belief this is how politics was it this cutting back then? i spent two years with president clinton. we worked to get an agreement to do what carol said which was to bring people together to talk about differences on issues that weren t for compromise. what we need now is leadership. both candidates have to talk about a better future for all americans regardless of party. megyn: rick warren canceled the solidback forum. the romney cam was quick to
So their taxes are very, very low. we have seen the swiss bank account and the ann romney trust and other offshore details. so clearly they know what s in the rest of the documents and they feel that whatever it is would be worse. and ann romney said almost exactly that last night. we re going to continue to get hit and get questioned if we put these out. so we re not. i think part of their thoughts might be harry reid overplayed his hand in the way he handled this scenario. and within their base, within their constituency that the net of it has been just fine. within a lot of people. harry reid came out and said he had a secret source who said mitt romney hadn t paid any taxes. without any basis or proof for that. that s a tough allegation to lay at the feet of a presidential candidate. especially when you re not willing to back it up with any proof, sources, anything. so i think the romney cam were pretty happy when they saw that.
Prosperity and others of the superpacs, we don t know about the final fours, that s the secret money routes, and what he might be putting in there remains one of the big questions. but look, there are two reasons why this deserves more scrutiny than it s gotten so far. first of all, adelson has very hard hawkish views on the middle east. he owns a newspaper in israel. he s a close friend of netanyahu. when romney goes, his only mention of the palestinians is one that inflames a lot of people and i think that, you know, one set of questions for romney is, what about a two-state solution, do you support it? do you not support it? not one that the obama campaign
With the food sample issue. every charge that has been leveled about this welfare reform order that the president signed, that every accusation that has been leveled by some republicans have been proven to be not true. the fact of the matter is the president did it. he didn t have to take this action to weaken the strong work requirement that was passed back it doesn t weaken it, it gives the states he did it because he s never supported the work requirement and the fact of the matter is- the work requirement is still there, governor. it s still there. but we don t want to see waivers of this, because once you start waivers, that s where we got to health care reform. we insisted on work requirements then we got a national law and we want to keep it in place, not
States by executive order in july weakened that. governor tommy thompson was a leader of this in wisconsin, he just won the primary yesterday. this president never supported work for welfare and now he s trying to weaken it. again, it was a waiver for governor, he s not doing anything, if governors weaken it to a certain point, the federal government yanks the labor. here s my concern, you ve got some liberals that are going to try to use that, but what we think is the effective welfare reform that we passed on a bipartisan basis, like tommy thompson has worked effectively. liberals have always hated it, obama is playing to his liberal base. we think that s wrong, we think it s one of the most effective things that s been done in the last decade. and we need to do similar things
