Night. the president s path 20 million out of work. i will get people to work with 12 million new jobs. carl: that was economic messages from the foreign policy last night, not a new phenomenon in presidential politics do do that. that is what romney will focus on in the days ahead and visit colorado, ohio, florida, virginia, and possibly going to new hampshire or wisconsin that the romney campaign thinks they can pick up that president obama won four years ago but they thing they have a fighting chance because in new hampshire, romney is a part time resident, and ryan is from wisconsin and the polls are tight there. trace: thank you. now the associate managing editor of the the wall street journal, parent company of this network. john, i listened earlier to the former chief of staff for the bush white house and he said, and this is a quote, that ....
Jenna: did you feel like you got any more information? have you made up your mind? i did. i definitely feel like i m leaning more now. i m a little clearer on the economy, which was my big issue, and even though it was a foreign policy debate, i don t think we really discussed a lot of foreign policy last night. jenna: so you said you re leaning in one direction. which direction? i would have to say romney. jenna: really? i really would, yeah. jenna: and why? i think it s because, um, he just has an idea of what the economy needs right now. um, obama has not really been giving any sort of idea on what sort of plan he wants for the next four years, um, i think romney s a little more focused. we need a change in that regard. he s had four years to work on things, and nothing has gotten better, it s only gotten worse. and, um, i think that he could pull us through. i mean, after last night especially because it was really about the economy last night. jenna: so that s interesting, ....
Know, the school uniforms and welfare reform. you know on foreign policy last night but also on domestic policy the dirty little secret of foreign policy in particular is continuity. there s a lot of countntinuity between obama and romney and a lot between obama and george w. bush, drone strikes and the way we got out of iraq. he doesn t want to talk about that. guantanamo is still that s the nature of foreign policy. i think romney took advantage of that somewhat, you know, last night. obama wanted a slug fest on these issues. i think that romney ended up clenching him a lot as you would in a fight and i think that the president was left to accuse romney of being a flip flopper, but if he changed he was changing to positions that were more sustainable and popular. and more mainstream in some ways and that i think ends up to his ....
For romney it was the olympics. and in second place, you will not believe this, this is true, this is where the romney ads are placed. the andy griffith show, which stopped production of new shows back in 1968. now back to last night s debate. although it was on foreign policy last night, both candidates knew the top voting issue was the economy. when it comes to our economy here at home, i know what it takes to create 12 million new jobs. you are familiar with jobs being shipped overseas. people have lost their jobs. americans had seen jobs being shipped overseas. good jobs of the future. jobs of tomorrow. jobs come from jobs. jobs. jobs. you invested in companies ....
Oblivious to the rising strength. there was a lot of foreign policy last night which surprised a lot of people. they were expecting more on the economy. let me play an exchange over afghanistan. that s the afghan responsibility. we trained them. not in the east. let s move to another war. not in the east? rc east is the most dangerous place in the world. that s why we should send americans to do the job? you would rather americans do the job? we are already sending americans to do the job, but fewer of them. that s right. we are sending more afghans to do the job. afghans to do the job. michael, how do you think that played? i thought through all the foreign policy segments, with the exception of libya which is a special case which the obama administration is clearly on defense. what came across is there is a huge difference in style and attitude how these two campaigns will approach things. when they got to the policies, the two sides are remarkably similar. the ro ....
