diminished american leadership while reaping the consequences. if we don't have the strength or vision to lead, then other powers will take our place, pulling history in a very different direction. >> boy, mitt romney is not horsing around there. stick or carrot. he talked about having the strength to lead, but he couldn't even get through his first visit to london as a 2012 presidential candidate without insulting his hosts and embarrassing his allies back home. get your cell phones out. i want to know what you think. tonight's question, who will leave london with more fans? text a for mitt romney. text b for rafalca or go to our blog at ed.msnbc.com. i'm joined by carl lewis, an american sprinter and nine-time olympic gold medalist. great to have you on, mr mr. legend. >> thank you very much. >> mr. lewis, if you were just tell me what went through your mind when you first heard about

but privately when they go in the booth, they're going to say i think it's time to change direction. >> i don't think african-americans are saying that so much. african-americans are supporting this president to the tune of about 85% to 88%. also, the most recent poll, they're tied, neck and neck, 46% to 46%. i don't know we can say categorically people want a change. and especially those to the left of the president believe romney is a huge sort of change from what president obama is anyway. >> no question. let's bring in mr. durst. i know you're a political comedian, but this ain't funny. more people are able to correctly identify romney's religion than obama's. in fact, 1 in 5 voters believe the president is a muslim. that's an increase since 2008. how big of a problem is that for the president? >> that doesn't include the large group of people who believe he's muslin, which is a loosely woven cotton fabric, and yes, this is confusing. this is low information voters.

u.s. news, let's face it, romney is not a strong candidate. let's bring in howd fineman, nbc news political analyst and editor/director of the huffington post media grub. a very strong analyst. his campaign was highlighting it as an important moment in his candidacy. how are they feeling about it now? >> it's important but not in the way they wanted it to be. mitt romney wants to show with every step, with every statement, he's presidential, that he has the grasp of the world and the grasp of the world economy. by the way, of which england and london in particular are very important parts, that he has that under control. well, he put his foot wrong, and he put his foot in his mouth every step of the way in london. >> he's got some continental drift for sure. are you hearing concerns from strategists about his campaign? >> there are three categories

here? there are the people inside the romney campaign who think everything is fine, of course. who think this will go away in two seconds. and who think basically that the economy is so bad in their view that there's no way the president will be re-elected. and they think based on that alone, all mitt romney has to do is avoid, as he didn't do in london, mistakes and keep his mouth shut, basically, and he's going to win the election. they claim not to be disturbed. i don't think they are. then you have the people, michael, who never liked mitt romney to begin with. and those are all the people, whether it's the manchester union leader newspaper in new hampshire or some of newt gingrich's supporters or rick santorum's supporters and so forth who are demanding that mitt romney release more of his tax returns. all the people who say that don't like mitt romney and frankly don't want him to win. then there's the third category of sort of institutional republicans who keep their fingers crossed. they doubt mitt romney's

and also that he has put forward many really strong, good ideas to help the economy and there are people in the congress and in the senate who are committed to keeping him from not getting anything done, to the point that they're willing to have the american people sacrifice. >> does mitt romney scare you if he's president? >> he doesn't scare me, i wouldn't say he scares me. i just don't think he's a strong choice. i think he's a man who doesn't really know what people are about. i think he's a man who has lived in a castle all of his life. and i don't think he's the answer to our problems. >> your show is about women's issues? >> about women's issues among other things. also about the wheeling and dealing of politics and what goes on behind the scenes. and the effect it has on the family. >> which is? >> which is me. and my two grandsons. >> ellen burstyn, thank you so much.

with you. is this intended to court black voters or is this a ploy to get independents to believe romney is a reasonable person. >> i'll take b for $100. the second option is what the initial speech itself was intended to do, which is clearly, he's not going to win over too many voters at the naacp, especially with using politicized and racially kind of charged language, and racially charged because what he's referring to is obama care, something that has a disproportionate impact positively on the african-american community. the boos there were to send a silent message to the independents and to women voters, people he needs to pull into his camp if he has any chance of winning the election. >> mr. bramnick, rockne reportedly had to bring in his own supporters to the naacp speech. i guess it's byoo, bring your own supporters or your own, you
