an urban legend. like an alligator can out of the sioux were at 8 barack obama. i think the audience tomorrow night is going to be huge and people want to know, can he come back? what is his -- and what is his performance going to be like? governor romney has a lot of pressure on him. in terms of the format, it makes it harder when you are answering questions from voters. u-turn and give it to an attack on your opponent. there are a lot of things that president obama wants to contrast. it is harder to do that when you are answering a question. i think president obama will be faced with some difficult questions. the hardest question is someone going to say, i love you in 2008, i with dealing with actual human beings in almost wanted you to succeed, but you have really disappointed me. what will you tell me that will be different? and governor romney has never been goodany setting. ok, so that is a very high risk and high reward situation for him. he has moved his favorability numbers up considerably. if he knocks it out of the park, it could be a huge win for him. if he falters, it wi

. barack obama's got tuesday night to re-take command. can he show himself the doer and make romney a would a, should a, could a challenger? joe biden might have stopped the romney train, but he certainly revved up the democrats. and did biden's arguments on medicare and abortion rights also do some damage to the other side? president clinton is out there selling the case of the guy he hopes will be another president clinton's predecessor. he gave that great deal-making speech at the d.n.c. now he's out there on the campaign trail doing what obama didn't do last week -- exposing mitt romney's hard right baggage. with us today, "new york" magazine's john hileman, christian science monitor, liz liz, and henderson henderson from "the washington post," and from "the daily beast," andrew sullivan. thursday night's debate was everything the romney and obama presidential debate had not been. >> you can still preserve the important tant things for middle class taxpayers. >> it's not mathematically possible. >> it's not mathematically possible. it's never been done before. >> it's been done a couple

. >> so, some are questioning when obama mentioned "to terror, was he referring to 9/11? benghazi? both? it does not matter for me. what matters is, what happened next? just moments after the rose garden speech, the president flew to las vegas for a fundraiser and a campaign stop and then the coverup. >> the best information and the best assessment we have today is that, in fact, this was not a pre-planned, premeditated attack. >> there are no words that excuse the illing of innocents or for video that justifies an attack on an embassy. >> i heard hillary clinton say that it was an act of terrorism. is it? what do you say? >> we are doing an investigation. >> moments ago, fox spoke to the guy who asked the libya yet last night and he said the president came up to him after the debate to explain why president obama took so long to call it a full-blown terror attack. he wanted to deliberate and "make sure he had all the information." this is crazy. this is really, really, this is really important, president obama tells the american public one thing and goes to a debate and says another an

obama. >> obama clearly had a good night. >> it was an act of terror. >> he did call it an act of terror. >> on the question of libya both the president and romney were wrong. >> i'm still trying to get the hang of this thing debating. >> time for him to put together a vision of what he did in the final four years. >> i'll keep improving as time goes on. i have one left. >> we have this show. >> cenk: i hear you on that. although you didn't love what you heard last night. the script began as it did in the first debate as it did between mitt romney and abraham. mitt romney came out strong. here's what happened in the first question. >> romney: i know what it takes to create good jobs again. i know what it takes to make sure that you have the kind of opportunity that you deserve and kids across this country are going to recognize we're bringing back an economy. it's not going to be like the last four years. the middle class has been crushed over the last four years, and jobs have been too square. when do you graduate? 2014 when you come out in 2014 i presume i'll be president. i'll make yo

this week with a more spirited president obama trading jabs with republican rival mitt romney on everything from immigration to taxes. national polls show the race still very much a toss-up, and swing state surveys continue to tighten. we welcome in our panel this week. so kim, i talked to a lot of democrats this week who were elated by the president's performance. they say that the king is back. he's really rocking now. [laughter] momentum the big mo's with him. what do you think about that? are they right? >> well, i mean, the president certainly made his base thrilled with his performance at the debate. that was one of the things he needed to do. look, there's too many questions coming at the president's campaign. he needed to settle and calm those fears. yes, he succeeded at. what he did not arguably do at the debate is in any stem the damage that mitt romney inflicted in the first debate, which was to expose that he's not really running publicly with a second term agenda. and that's what independents and a lot of undecided voters are looking at that. in that he sounded like someone who

arena. >> i can tell you that if you elect president obama, you know what you're going to get, a repeat of the last four years. >> this week on "inside washington," the presidential debate. >> governor romney does not have a five-point plan. he has a one-point plan. >> the women's vote. >> governor romney feels comfortable having politicians in washington making choices for women. >>he preside's stement of my policy is completely and totally wrong. >> the brawl over libya. >> it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in benghazi an act of terror. >> he date, in fact, serve -- >> if you laughs at the al smith dinner. >> i am well rested after the night-long nap at the first debate. so much totime redistribute. captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- >> this is a close race. at week's end, the national gallup poll gave romney is largest lead so far. the president is looking good in the battleground states of iowa and wisconsin, however it is on the heels of the second presidential debate. the president showed up for this one and the result was a l

, president obama and governor romney will take the stage for the second presidential debate. a town hall format. meaning the audience gets to ask direct questions to each candidate. cnn candy crowley is moderating. we're only three weeks away from the election. three weeks from today. after commanding performance by romney in the first debate, both candidates feeling the pressure to perform tonight. stay with fox news from now through primetime when you have megyn kelly and bret baier leading the coverage. let's kick it off with greg who is at half stra. he look -- hofstra and he lookso interested. i'm sure you've talked to a ton of people today. what are they saying? >> greg: i found out that president obama had chicken today. but he was unhappy because they were out of dog. the big issue here is the altitude. they don't want a recurrence of what happened a few weeks ago. the elevation here is 60 feet. it's 60 feet. they have had security and aides here to prep obama and prevent implosion and adjust for the change. they lowered the podium four feet. in industry terms called a perino. >>

>>> tonight on "nightline" -- it's round two for president obama and republican challenger mitt romney as they once again go head to head with a race in a dead heat and the pressure of the president's last debate stumbles looming large. what happened in the rematch? tonight our team of political pros tells us where they think the candidates succeeded and blundered in the "nightline" report card. >>> and analyze that. could freud hold the key to who would be a better president? we hop onto the couch of the shrink who is unraveling the subconscious of the candidates. >> from the global resources of abc news. with terry moran, cynthia mcfadden, and bill weir in new york city. this is a special edition of "nightline." one on one, the presidential debate. >>> good evening, i'm terry moran. well, that was a fierce debate. a heated showdown as president obama and his republican challenger mitt romney met on stage for a fiery second round in a town hall-style debate. with 21 days until election day, the heat is on. especially for the president looking to make a comeback after the lacklu

university in washington, d.c. president obama and governor romney clashed in the second of three debates before election kay on november 6th, intense pressure on both candidates but especially the president. his poor showing in the first debate shifted the momentum of the race. the a gallup poll earlier today put governor romney ahead 50 to 46 nationally, the campaigns have been focusing closely on a select few battleground states, including florida, ohio and virginia, tonight the candidates engage in a stir irs of heated exchanges on stage, joining me in new york, jon meacham, the author of the forthcoming book thomas jefferson, and mark halperin of time magazine and john heilemann of time magazine. >> albert hunt, executive editor of bloberg news and david leonhardt the bureau chief of "the new york times", joining us shortly from washington, katty kay of bbc world news of america, and slate magazine, we have a really fascinating group of people here to talk about what was a remarkable debate. i begin first with al hunt. >> charlie, if the barack obama who was on stage at hofstra had

after 9:00 a.m. eastern we will see a spirited defense by barack obama of his four-year record or we won't. if we see it, this election campaign will take a strong new life. if we don't, something historic will begin to die. obama has much to say in his defense. he inherited the economic carnage of a recent republican president, a catastrophic loss of jobs, a collapse in the u.s. stock market, the death rattle of the auto industry. he, barack obama, then brought a financial and economic collapse back from the brink, changed the course of the economy from job destruction to job creation, doubled the american stock market, saved the auto industry. he did it all with a dramatic change of policy, a stimulus program that varied 180 degrees from the austerity measures that have humbled europe. an intervention into the auto industry that reinvigorated an industry that means pride to americans. obama needs to make this defense, he needs to underline the fact that his opponent and his party fought him every inch of the way. on the stimulus, on the auto industry, on health care, on equal pay for w

. >> the president he's lead there has been 5, 6, points. >> the obama campaign is leaving nothing to chance. >> president barack obama. >> former president bill clinton? are we better off? you bet we are. if obama wins it it may be because a former president saved his presidency. >> i am clinton. as overlord, all will kneel before me and obey my commands. end communication. >>> with just 22 days until election and 23 hours until the second presidential debate, a new "washington post" poll shows the number of undecided voters shrinking. nearly two-thirds say they do not need any more information before election day, and barely one in eight is undecided or says there is a chance he or she could change the vote. while president obama spent today in debate prep in virginia, michelle obama campaigned in ohio, where the latest poll of likely voters shows the president ahead by five points. >> this morning, let me tell you what i did. the i cast my ballot early for barack obama. it felt so good right now, my absentee ballot is on its way to my hometown, chicago, illinois, and that means we are one

a lot of that to his rising popularity among women. >> mitt romney now leads president obama with five points. tied 48 to 48. he is still ahead with men, though. so the movement among women has put this race on the bubble. and today, ann romney who is leading the effort to get women to vote republican was in the battleground state of pennsylvania. >> find an independent that voted for barack obama last time or a democrat that voted for barack obama last time. and say how have the last four years been? you want the same thing. go ahead. you want a change for a better prosperous future? vote for mitt romney. >> jennifer: paul ryan voted for the lilly ledbetter act. romney has always pledged to defund planned parenthood, would appoint supreme court justices who would overturn rowee v. wade. and the president has to call this out. republicans are arguing from freedom from regulation, unless of course you are a woman. don't worry your pretty little heads about it gals. even with all of this it is not the time folks to get respondent. the poll actually has a very small samp

from president obama and pushing mitt romney's momentum in the swing states just before the second debate tomorrow, believe it or not among women, it's now tied at 48. that's a big upset for obama, according to gallup. tonight, our own kudlow debate, democratic congresswoman carolina maloney versus jason th chavitz. the dow up 9595! retail sales increased in every category and the bad news, still conducting a capital goods strike worried about inflation, an the fiscal cliff. >>> more than 1900 investigations into obama alleged stimulus wrongdoing. we will expose how many millions of your tax dollars have been wasted and get to the exclusive interview of the legendary charles schwab. first up, preparations are under way as president obama and mitt romney face off in their second debate tomorrow evening. here now for a sneak peek inside president obama's playbook, robert acosta of the national review. what are team romney telling you and insiders telling you about this town hall meeting? >> mitt romney may have excelled in that first presidential debate in denver, larry. tomorrow, it

obama claims romney is waging an or women. and frank luntz. major developments on the campaign trail as governor mitt romney has extended his lead over president barack obama. look at this. according to the latest gallup poll romney now holds a majority 51% of the vote over obama's 45%. that is a six-point advantage, not even close to being within the margin of error. this bombshell poll comes one day after more than millions of americans witnessed the president of the united states mislead you, the voters, about everything from his own record to his opponent's views. now thanks to president obama, the truth went untold for more than 90 long minutes during the second presidential debate, and on "hannity," we're going to fact check the president's claims. we're going to set the record straight. heated exchange of the evening, and that of course being the terrorist attack. here's how it went down inside the debates hall last night. >> on the day following the assassination of united states ambassador, the first time that's happened since 1979, when we have four americans killed k

think romney did about as well as he did last time around. he made his point. obama clearly had a good night, a much better night than the first night. you know, woody allen said showing up is 80% of life. he was at the 80%. i think on points, if you were scoring it's on points, obama wins on points. and he made a lot of counter punches. a lot of accusations. he managed to get under romney's skin a little bit by referring to his wealth. he made $20 million a year trying to make $1 million by taxes but it's a way to say you're a rich guy. how will you understand the ordinary guy? i thought there is a point where romney did really well. and all of us agree that was on the issue on the failure of this administration. when romney went large, it did well. when he went small, i think obama got the better of him. there is one critical issue in this debate. the libya question. obama was at sea. he was asked about the security in libya, and benghazi. he didn't try to answer because he had no answer. instead he went on about how we're going to catch these guys. romney, i think had a huge opening

governor mitt romney with a seven-point lead over president obama. the score? romney 52, obama 45. bob, it seems like the campaign is spinning a bit out of control. what did they do now? >> bob: go home. >> andrea: can we go home? >> dana: do you think it's real? >> bob: do i think it's real? >> andrea: you have to admit, bob. there is panic. i talked to a senior democrat in the green room a couple hours ago. i said shoot straight with me. how much panic is there? he said a lot. >> bob: if i were looking at the numbers and managing the campaign, i would be upset, i'm not sure panic. if the numbers are correct, it's over. it is over. so, i mean you are not going to bring romney back under 50%. from 52%. not a challenge candidate. if that is correct. i don't necessarily buy it's correct. >> andrea: you don't buy the poll. >> bob: no, no, no. i have a great admiration for gallup. it's toads margin of error, plus or minus 4%. it may be 48%. i don't know the answer to that. >> andrea: chris stirewalt was on the air a couple hours ago and said this could be the break-away moment we've been w

with the final presidential debate. as obama and romney face off one last time on foreign policy, we'll have our own debate on the terrorist strike in libya, upheaval in syria. development senator dick durbin versus lindsey graham.durbin anx news sunday." then it's been a roller-coaster ride in the polls. we'll talk numbers with the man in charge of gallup, the granddaddy of polling firms, frank newport. >> we'll ask our sunday panel what to expect in the race to the finish line. from a a tense debate to laughs over dinner, it was quite a week on the trail. and hello again from fox news in washington. with 16 days 'til the election president obama and 0 governor romney meet one last time monday night for a debate on foreign policy. we want to preview the issues with a debate of our own. dick durbin joins us from his home state of illinois. a top republican on foreign policy, senator lindsey graham is in his home state of south carolina. let's start with breaking news. a report in today's "new york times" that iran and the u.s. agreed in principal to one-on-one talks about iran's nuclear program.

pro-obama. doesn't surprise me. big cities tend to be liberal. i want to know where you're living and how they're covering the u.s. presidential race and i'll read those qlerts on the air tomorrow, thank you for watching us tonight. i am bill o'reilly. remember, the spin stops right here, we're definitely looking out for you. >> sean: tonight. >> i think he is going to be aggressive. >> sean: panic sets in at the white house on the eve of the second presidential debate. >> even if he changes his style, he can't change his record and he can't change his policies. >> dick morris has predictions ahead of this face-off. romney's rise in the polls hats some threatening to riot if the anointed one is defeated. ann coulter responds to the left's. >> wait a minute. >> sean: obama campaign's top advisor dismisses questions about the obama coverup. >> you are saying we shouldn't discuss this. >> former defense secretary donald rumsfeld is here and he is demanding answers. all of that plus the very latest polling data from each of the key battleground states. we are 22 days away from electio

>> bill: conservatives outraged that president obama used the word optimal in talking about the four murdered americans in libya. did the president make a huge mistake. we will tell you. >> you know, it made it sound almost like working women are some mail order product you can order out of colored binders. >> bill: the binder deal still causing angst as some women believe mitt romney dissed them when he tried to hire them. gutfeld and mcguirk will deal with the ties that bind in a report that could get out of hand. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. ♪ ♪. >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. good natured barbs or serious digs. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. president obama and governor romney attended the al smith dinner here in new york city last night. that's a charitable exposition run by catholic cardinal timothy dollan. millions of dollars were raised and everybody looked to be having a good time. >> of course, i'm pleased that the president is here. we were chatting i

presidente barack obama y su rival republican mitt romney y barack obama estan virtualmente empatados.y llego a reynosa, tamaulipas, la marcha de madres de inmigrantes centroamericanos desaparecidos que recorren mexico para exigir que se investigue que ocurrio a sus hijos.mas noticias en sus ediciones del fin de semana ---seÚn el departamento de desarrollo del empleo, se aÑadieron 4-mil 900 puestos de trabajo durante el mes de septiembre.en el este y el sur de la bahia---sin embargo en la regÓn de san francisco, san mateo y maÍn 3-mil 500 personas no corrieron con la misma suerte y se quedaron sin tener un día mejor en el mundo del espíritu. gracias. >>> bienvenidos por fin es viernes, 19 de octubre y estas son las noticias, la unión americana de libertades civiles. por retener injustamente a inmigrante. un hospital quiere dejar atender a un indocumentado sin seguro médico. y para el transporte de droga. y si usted no ha oído hablar de un negocio ilegal. llamado lavado de madera. le diremos de que se trata. comenzamos. > este es su notro

was election day for at least one resident of the great state of illinois. first lady michelle obama posing with her absentee ballot. shortly before posting this photo, the first lady tweeted, hey barack obama, i just dropped my absentee ballot in the mail, i couldn't wait for election day, love you. what she's doing here is a form of voting that's typically more popular among republicans. for example, in florida in 2008, republicans enjoyed a 17-point edge among people who chose to boat voet by mail. 17 points. this year one of the early signs in this election that democrats are excited about is at least in florida democrats seem to be closing the gap with absentee ballot mail-in voters. democrats were still able to win. but this year in florida, democrats have slunk down the republican advantage on absentee ballot voters from 17 points to just 4 points. remember they were still able to win with the 17-point gap last time around. so this this has democrats very excited. and it has the first lady doing her big voter photo-op today. now the other way to vote ahead of election day is not to m

-sizely what i recommended and ultimately what happened. >> jon: okay. in fact, obama's publicly financed detroit auto industry managed bankruptcy is not precisely what romney recommended. romney precisely recommended private credit, which at the time was to be precise non-existent. meaning under his plan detroit's bankruptcy would have been unmanaged and quite permanent. so the big question would be: which version of barack obama would respond. the first debate, sleepy time ma gill cutty or pretty talk jones. >> candy, what governor romney said just isn't true. >> jon: it's alive! it's alive! [cheering and applause] whoa, whoa. yes, president barack obama decided to attend this debate. [laughter] and the two candidates could finally have a truthful, substantive discussion about how much they [bleeped] hate each other. [laughter] >> governor, we have actually produced more oil. >> no, no, how much did you cut licenses and permits on federal land and federal... >> production is up. >> it's down. >> no it isn't. >> production on government land and oil is down 14%. >> governor, what you're

and with that some say president obama won the debate. but before you say slam dunk, those same two polls showed that on the economy romney on the economy was the clear winner last night. so, where do we stand? we'll just throw it around the table here first and trying to figure out where the race will go after last night. we saw a movement in the last two weeks toward romney. my question is, what was the source of that noouchlt? were these people who all year looking for an excuse to re-elect obama? they liked him personally and thought he came in under tough circumstances and wanted to give him more time and just so disheartened by the performance in denver? i think they got reassurance and they'll like obama. were they looking for an excuse to vote out obama and mitt romney wasn't giving them that excuse. they just didn't feel comfortable enough? if that's the kiss and romney gave them a comfort level in the first debate, i don't think he won last night and probably competent enough a performance to keep the vote earls in the fold for him. >> interesting to see how the polls shift based on th

's. >> wait a minute. >> sean: obama campaign's top advisor dismisses questions about the obama coverup. >> you are saying we shouldn't discuss this. >> former defense secretary donald rumsfeld is here and he is demanding answers. all of that plus the very latest polling data from each of the key battleground states. we are 22 days away from election day, three weeks from tomorrow. you will be voting. and hannity starts right here, right now. >> sean: we are on the eve of the second presidential debate of the 2012 presidential season. tonight, the republican nominee mitt romney continues to lead president barack obama in the latest national polls. now, according to the rasmussen daily presidential tracking survey, if the election were held today, governor romney would be victorious, 49% to 48%. interestingly enough, romney has led or tied the incumbent the past 9 out of 10 days breaking what had been a 16-day winning streak for the president. this result is mirror dollars in the newest american research group survey which also has romney defeating obama this one 48% to 47%. later tonigh

high, i sound like a.5-year-old girl. >> obama girl isn't sing hers either. i'm pretty sure. >> oh, good. that makes me feel good. >> sean: if i'm wrong i will correct that for the left wing media. >> thank you. >> sean: the news continues. let not your heart be troubled. greta goes "on the record." we'll see you tomorrow night. >> greta: tonight in just 23 hours a debate that could change everything. will governor mitt romney add to his momentum or will president obama stop him in his tracks? >> well, who says debates don't matter? there were 60 polls in the last week in 27 states. if you look at the 30-day map there were three status changes all of them benefiting romney. >> who did he blame for his bad debate? oh blames john kerry. blames bush for the bad economy kerry for the bad debate. read the trip. you'll see that biden won it. >> i think he was told to get in there, make some commotion because he had ground to make up for. that's just a fact. i think if you're looking for the vice president to try to save the day, there's a problem. >> if obama has a performance like he ha

'm eliot spitzer, and this is view point. it was a slug fest. president obama and governor mitt romney fought it out toe-to-toe in last night second presidential debate. the president was control and in command, and perhaps not a day too soon. the gallup poll shows mitt romney with a six-point lead over the president, the biggest in the campaign. those numbers don't reflect what happened in last night's debate. these do. 48% of registered voters say the president won the content compared to 33% for mitt romney. after the candidates came out and shook hands, the gloves came off and the fight began starting with jobs and the auto industry bailout. >> obama: when governor romney said that we should let we're going to bet on american workers american auto industry, and it has come surging back. >> romney: that's precisely what i recommended and what happened. >> obama: candy, what governor romney said simply isn't true. he wanted to take them into bankruptcy without providing them any way to stay open, and we would have lost a million jobs. >> eliot: the president has hammered romney on th

obama and gop challenger mitt romney are aggressively targeting their campaigns at one group that is likely to decide the election -- women get the candidates made reference to women 30 times in the debate and use the word men five times. they extended the debate into the campaign trail in 2008, women cast 53% of the vote, 11.9 million more women voting than men. we want to turn to all of you this morning -- women only -- we want to know who is your choice for president. if you're supporting governor romney or governor -- or president obama, the numbers are on your screen. you can also -- also oppose your comments on facebook or twitter. these other front pages of the newspapers. most of the papers have something about campaign 2012 and women. "the financial times" is this -- -- says this. this recent gallup poll is not showing tuesday night's debate. that will take about a week to show up. if you look that some of the polls breaking down women coming year is "the washington post." -- here is "the washington post." that is how it is shaping up among women according to the pol

promises and not following through with a single one of them? president obama said that he would cut the deficit in half during his first four years. did he do that? and he did not. he said he was going to address emigration during his first year. he has not touched it until the last few weeks in order to do a political game that he is playing with the hispanics in this country saying that you can stay for a few years because it is time for me to run for office. hispanic people can see through that. it is not what we want. i have all the faith in the world that all of you have done a fabulous job. knocke on the door. there was the hope that obama will follow through on his promises. president obama has failed americans, all americans because he has not followed through with what he said he would do. that is why knocking on every door as important. making sure you make that extra phone call. the democrats can and will cross over and vote for a republican that has a proven record of following through with his promises. gov. mitt romney is the very individual we need in the white house.

in tomorrow's vice-presidential clear political bias. it turns out president obama attended abc correspondent martha raddatz first wedding back in 1991. this thing goes deep, folks. [ laughter ] 21 years ago barack obama attended debate moderator. martha raddatz's wedding. who knows what favors were exchanged with an eye toward the inevitable future debate. they all knew it was coming. he knew that. panini press would pay off eventually for the running mate he hadn't met yet. [ laughter ] >> stephen: for twenty years, every time she's made a monte cristo she's whispered "i owe you, barack obama." [ laughter ] and sure, obama was actually just a law school classmate of raddatz's husband julius genachowski who raddatz divorced in 1997. but what woman doesn't love doing favors for her ex-husband's friends? [ laughter ] so clearly the debate -- the whole thing is meaningless until ryan wins. point is, everything about obama is suspicious. unfortunately, not as suspicious as it used to be. in the good old days, we had a new obama scandal every week. he was a secret muslim; wasn't born in america;

's president barack obama. but still... [laughter] these people get to... [cheering and applause] nate silver, the president of statistician-stan. as you know, last night the presidential cam pan headed to hofstra university where the candidates debated from a diverse crowd hard of long islanders ranging from italian guys to other italian guys to a jewish guy and his mom. [laughter] such diversity in long island. the first question somehow ended up on the auto industry rescue. >> i know you keep saying, you want to take detroit bankrupt. well, the president took detroit bankrupt. you took general motors bankrupt. you took chrysler bankrupt. that was pre-sizely what i recommended and ultimately what happened. >> jon: okay. in fact, obama's publicly financed detroit auto industry managed bankruptcy is not precisely what romney recommended. romney precisely recommended private credit, which at the time was to be precise non-existent. meaning under his plan detroit's bankruptcy would have been unmanaged and quite permanent. so the big question would be: which version of barack obama would respond

the urces, hardest talk >>> >>> the second debate between president obama and governor mitt romney this past tuesday ur drew a tv audience of 65.6 million viewers. the debate was at hofstra university on long island in new york, town hall style. testy, tense and quite rivetting throughout. here's the president, pressing governor romney on romney's tax plan and d how he'll do what he claims he will do. >> if somebody came to you, governor, with a plan that said, here, i want to spend $7 or $8 trillion and we're going to pay for it, but we can't tell you until maybe after the election how we're going to do it, you wouldn't have taken such a sketchy deal. and neither should you, the american people, because the math doesn't add up. sh >> we're talking . about math - when we're talking about math that doesn't add up, how about $4 trillion of deficits over the last five years, or $5 trillion, that's math that doesn't add up. ma we have a president talking about someone's plan in a way that's completely foreign to what my real plan is. and then we have his own record which is we have fou

and reinvestment act, financial law by president obama and submit -- february 17th, 2009. this is about 50 minutes. [applause] >> thanks, all of you for braving the rain. i am thrilled to start by tour in new york. my wonderful parents are here. the only new yorkers who go to florida to visit their grandchildren. there are a lot of facts and figures and fun characters and colorful stories in this book. i knew it was going to be controversial. it is a revisionist history of the obama stimulus and just about everybody hates the obama stimulus. sometimes it feels like obama hates it too. he won't say the word stimulus any more. kind of hard to blame him. a year after it passed the percentage of americans who believe the stimulus created jobs was lower than the percentage of americans who believed elvis was a live. at one point i tell a story how obama told his cabinet that the stimulus was the only thing less popular than he was. in any case when you put the words change and obama this close together you are going to get yelled at. "the new new deal," right wingers won't except the old new deal and l

saying obama did well. >> howe hard is it to hit obama on theid economy? of course he did a good job. >> obama was in a coma the last debate. he said something. we have to go. we are back tomorrow night and will fact check the president. "greta" is next and we will see you. mr. nice guy this, was an in your face debate. he r.. >>> we have to make sure we make it easier for kids to afford college skmaik sure when they get out of clenl there is a job. >> most important thing we can do is make sure we're creating jobs in this country. good paying job that's can support a family. >> this president's policies haven't put americans back to work. we had fewer people working today. >> governor romney has a one point plan. the is to make sure folks at the top play by a different set of rules. it's been his philosophy as private sector, as governor and a presidential candidate. >> in four years you've cut permits and licenses on federal lands and waters in half. >> not true. >> how much did you cut them by, snen. >> we've produced more oil. >> no. no. how much did you cut licenses and federal

" -- ready for the rematch. we are at hofstra university with a loud student crowd as president obama gets his cans for a do-over. >> how are you feeling about tonight? >> i feel fabulous. look at this beautiful day. >> what are you going to say? >> hope you enjoy the weather. >> are you aware michele voted for you yesterday? >> thank goodness. >> mitt romney arrives in long island for tonight's debate as his running mate stumps in virginia today. >> how are you doing? man. what a beautiful day. >> the president needs to reverse his slide after denver, mitt romney hopes to maintain the enthusiasm he's built and prove his first debate victory wasn't a fluke. taking responsibility, hillary clinton accepting full responsibility for the security failures in benghazi, but she says it shouldn't be a political issue. >> i don't think we want to get into any blame game. what we want to do is get to the bottom of what happened. >> and with the polls showing that romney is now narrowing the gap among women, the wives are front and center. >> mitt's prepared, mitt's confident, mitt's got a good prese

of state clinton and president obama know nothing about it? colonel david hunt has been investigating. >> are you leaning obama or leaning romney. >> i'm leaning obama. >> i'm leaning toward romney because the country is in disarray and the country needs something different. >> bill: watters is out at hofstra university. he is primed and so are the students there. you where to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. the big debate had just one hour from now that the subject of this evening's talking points memo. there is no question that this vrabel shootout at hofstra university on long island is vital for president obama. he has another shaky performance the odds are he will lose the election. let me back that up with polling. according to the rasmussen daily tracking poll, among likely voters, mitt romney now leads the president by two points. also gallup daily tracking has romney up by 4 points, the largest lead the governor has in that poll. and the swick states are also trending toward governor romney.

a few minutes mitt romney will deliver his speech, followed by president obama. we will bring you both of their remarks in full. while the jokes and the laughter will definitely be on the menu, don't expect this dinner to be tension-free. both candidates are coming off a very heated debate, and the charity event will be hosted by cardinal timothy dolan, who has publicly clashed with the president over contraception and provisions in the new healthcare law. also today, the latest national gallup poll is showing governor mitt romney pulling away 52-45%, clearly showing that the momentum remains in the governor's favor. we'll have much more on this poll coming up later in this hour. before mitt romney heads to the podium, let me bring in my panel from the national review, fox news contributor, rich lowry, radio talk show host, liberal, fox news contributor, leslie marshall, and the cohost of "the five," our very own dana perino. this is a fun event. >> it's great the cardinal is sitting between the two of them, easing tensions. it's a moment for everybody to step back and say, okay, we sh

situation is bad. i think they should not have announced so early in the week that president obama was going to be on the daily show. i love the daily show. i would recommend it to anybody. it's great. in this time, right before the election and in the middle of a situation where all of a sudden, everybody at the white house and the campaign is shutting down and trying to starve this story of oxygen. he basically fueled the flames of it. >> kimberly: there has been a response about this. >> here is what happens. when president obama is not reading a speech from teleprompter he says the private sector is doing fine. you didn't build that. now not optimal. dana pointed something out. there is no reason for him to do the talk show circuits. as far as jon stewart's show goes, he got. that he owns that vote. that was an unforced error that will come back to haunt him. i would like to know is bob schieffer going to step up and say monday night in foreign policy debate. this is foreign policy. is schieffer going to say, mr. president did you nien say that? if you didn't mean to they, what did you m

last night was that although president obama argued his own case far better than the first >>> argued his own case far better than the first debate he was a totally different president obama last night. i thought that mitt romney got stuck into president obama's record in an effective way too. let's face it. you know this. you are a presidential historian no one has been re-elected other than fdr himself where you had these numbers. these are huge sticks to beat you guys with. let me say a few things about this first. no other president other than roosevelt has come to office with the economic calamity that the president faced and the american people know that. let's look at what happened in the last the 1 months, unemployment dropped at a faster rate than 1995. incomes are up for the first time in four years. today we learned that home construction is up by 15% in september and 38% over the last 12 months. we had a calamity we had to deal with and working our way out of it and gaining a momentum. it's telling that all governor romney can do is engage in these lamm lamo lamentations.

and leadership. meanwhile other polls and focus groups showed obama winning the debate by not that much. one thing is for sure, both candidates were combative. stop laughing at me. like other shows "red eye cts convened its own group. let's see how it reacted to one of the comments. >> mr. president, have you looked at your pension? have you looked at your pension. >> have i to say. >> mr. president, have you looked at your pension. >> you know, i don't look at my pension. it is not as big as yours. >> let me give have you some advice. >> i don't check it that often. >> you also have investments in chinese p cs and investments outside of the united states. you have investments to a kay dense trust. >> you know what amazing is you don't see frank in the corner asking the cat what he thinks. oh, i'm sorry. are you close with him, frank? governor, did you like anything you heard? >> no, i didn't. i ran two campaigns for governor where i did not mention my opponent in print, radio or television. i think people are hungry to elect a leader. i thought it was ?ieping. it was not what i am going to

. >> president obama is not telling you what his second temple plan would be. >> he's not saying that he would do anything new. all he's offering is four more years of the same. >> robert costa, this is interesting, ryan attacking obama. is this going to be a big theme in the last 18, 19 days? >> it definitely will be, larry. talking to romney advisors, this is their closing strategy. coming out of the first two presidential debates they see a big opening on polity and on vision. if it turns out that the president doesn't have a good vision for -- >> it's partly a referendum on the economy and it's pointing out what romney's plan is, 20% across the board tax cut, but what romney's doing now is that the president could earn on rom hi he he he doesn't have a tax plan, romney wants to point out out to the voters. >> obama does have a tax plan, he wants to raise taxes on small business owners, raise taxes on business and raise taxes on entrepreneurs and raise taxes. >> the obama job plan is sitting in congress, it's inactive, nothing's happening on that front, the president's just going to let these

first call is from vita in springfield, virginia, on our support president obama line. good morning. what did you think of last night's debate? caller: good morning and thank you for c-span. it's my first time calling. i thought it was a great debate last night. i was so excited to see president obama come out swinging. that's what we had been waiting for. i thought mitt romney did well with the economy, but the president held his own in that regard. the most important for me were the women's issues and immigration. i am from the dominican republic and have been a citizen since 1973. that is a very important issue. i was glad to see those two up.es come host: what do you think about all the campaign commercials we are seeing in the washington area because virginia is a swing state? caller: it's overkill. i essentially just mute or switched channels or turn it off. i have heard as much as i want to hear. everything else is overkill. host: what kind of work do you do? caller: i was a public-school teacher until 2001 when i retired. i am disabled. i did retrain and was able to use some

a reporter asked him if senator obama was qualified to be president, bill clinton pointed out, sure, he's over 35 years of age and a u.s. citizen. before they turned up an a.c.o.r.n. registration form that had the name of one mickey mouse. we're checking the paw prints. although i might let that one go, i'm pretty sure the big rats are republican. >> that was john mccain doing very well at this event in 2008. but both he and candidate barack obama were there and that was totally in the thick of the campaign. right? that was one night after their presidential debate that year at hofstra. we're two nights after the presidential debate. barack obama and mitt romney will be speaking there tonight. we'll carry them live and uninterrupted unless the interruption is from krchris matthews, delegate ldirectly be president. he could spill a drink on him. if he does something to interrupt the proceedings, we'll interrupt everything. other than that, we will bring you president obama and mitt romney, you can see there on the right side of your vescreen alo with his wife. we'll bring you those remar

industry bailout. >> obama: when governor romney said that we should let detroit go bankrupt, i said we're going to bet on american workers american auto industry, and it has come surging back. >> romney: that's precisely what i recommended and what happened. >> obama: candy, what governor romney said simply isn't true. he wanted to take them into bankruptcy without providing them any way to stay open, and we would have lost a million jobs. >> eliot: the president has hammered romney on the centerpiece of his campaign, his plan to cut taxes across the board to restore the economy. >> obama: we haven't heard from the governor any specifics beyond big bird and eliminating funding for planned parenthood in terms of how he pays for that. >> eliot: romney is taking his lumps on the issue of equal pay for women. last night the former massachusetts governor said he wanted women hired for top positions before he took office. >> romney: we could a took a concerted effort to find women who had the backgrounds to be qualified to be members of our cabinet. i went to a number of women's groups can y

in benghazi claiming the lives of our ambassador and three other americans. the obama administration has moved from planning an anti-muslim internet video to blame the u.s. intelligence community an had been trying to blame republicans for cutting security funding for the state department. all of this has quickly become a very difficult defense indeed for the obama white house. there'll ice revealing the state department has no shortage of money to bolster security whenet chose to do so. the congressman says the state department has in fact $2.2 billion in funds allocated to upgrade security at embassies and consulates around the world. he claims the state department funds haven't been spent for political reasons. >> 2.2 billion in discretionary reprogrammable money that wasn't used. the fact is they are making the decision not to put security in because they don't want the presence of security. diplomatic place because they wanted to be invisible. lou: despite the fact congressman issa made his comments yesterday on "face the nation," when asked to comment on his assertion earlier today, the

focus of the debate. maybe we'll get answers from obama. maybe he will tell us why he threw hillary clinton and the intelligence group under the bus. will he man up and take responsibility for this? also this evening. city corp. ceo resigns and they all beat. larry, this is the second day we close high on the day. this rally had nothing to do with citigroup. i'll tell you what is behind it in a few moments. round two kicks off. we are two hours away. the second obama debate comes in the race and also very close to barack obama in the key swing states. this is the town hall format. it has proved tricky in the past. of course the topics are going to range from domestic policy and you can expect talk about the attack in libya that has broiled the raise ice in recent. >> why is the white house letting hillary clinton take the blame? >> i take responsibility. 60,000 people all over the world. the president and the vice president wouldn't be knowledgeable about specific decisions that are made by security professionals. clinton saying the buck stops with her. >> harry truman had it right.

moment for president obama. just hours from now, the president and governor will face off for round two, a town hall meeting before an audience of uncommitted voters at new york's hofstra university. the president departs virginia for the big apple this hour. tonight is high stakes for the incumbent amplified by reports that states like ohio and pennsylvania could be ripe for a romney ticket. >> they hear all the gloom and doom talk, they hear about how poorly the president did in the first debate. and i think even the president will admit he did poorly in the first debate. but to hear how the sky is falling when that's what you you heard throughout the fall of 2007, that he was terrible at debates, is history going to repeat itself again tonight? ? i thi >> i think you'll see a strong debate performance from the president. he'll be strong, passionate, energetic. >> no r for romney, the goal is repeat performance convincing voters he's likeable and the one for the next four years. >> you walk in front of the jury at closing argument and you don't have a few good facts on your side, you'

this, it's just do be the designated driver. [laughter] as president obama surveys the waldorf banquet room, with everyone in white tie and finnerry, you have to wonder what he's thinking. so little time, so much to redistribute. [laughter] >> now, win or lose, this is my last political campaign. so i'm trying to drink it all in. unfortunately mayor bloomberg will only let me have 16 ounces of it. that's okay. i'm still making most of my time in the city. earlier today i went shopping at some stores in midtown. i understand governor romney went shopping for some stores in midtown. [laughter] of course the economy's on everybody's minds. the unemployment rate is at its lowest level since i took office. i don't have a joke here. i just thought it would be useful to remind everybody, that the unemployment rate is at the lowest it's been since i took office. [applause] it's been four years since i was last at the al smith dinner. i have to admit some things have changed since then. i've heard some people say, barack, you're not as young as you used to be. where's that golden smile? where's

policy and the campaign 2012 later this morning. but first, president obama and mitt romney met in a different setting. were jokes and wit replaced the seriousness of the campaign. here are the numbers to call -- republicans 202-585-3881. democrats -- 202-585-3880. independence -- 202-585-3882. send us a tweet by writing you can send us a tweet @cspanwj. our question for you this morning is -- how important is a sense of humor and a presidential candidate? it is inappropriate time and place? how much does it run true to you? let us look at coverage of the dinner last night. obama and romney go for laughs. switching from -- switching to jokes. they set aside an evening to make fun of themselves and each other. let us take a look at one of the clips. president obama at last night's dinner. [video clip] >> i have heard some people say, barack, you are not as young as you used to be. where's the peck and your stop? and i say, settle down. i am trying to run a cabinet meeting. he doesn't smile when he says it though. tomorrow, it is back to campaigning. two cities and towns across ou

for candidates. for president obama it's to wipe the first disastrous debate off the board. >> he's excited to get to new york tomorrow and he's focused on the good debate. he's his own worst harshest critic. you look back at the tape from last week, and he knows he can do a better job communicating to the american people, the choice in this election. >> for governor romney it's an opportunity to try to keep his momentum going, and to decimate the president's small firewall in key battleground states that could decide this election. joining me from washington is mark murray. mark, you have a lot of democrats cheering the fact they see a slight edge in the swing states despite the debate and other issues as well, and it is a slight firewall as we refer to it. >> tamron, it is still nail-biting time, however. there are two new national polls that came out today. first a "washington post"/abc news poll that had president obama up 49% to 46% over mitt romney among likely voters. there was a george washington poll that had closer, 49% for president obama and 48% for mitt romney among likely vote

victory and defeat. more on that shortly. first, the headlines. president obama and mitt romney are both off the campaign trail today getting ready for tuesday's second debate. it will be a town hall format. the president is promising to be more aggressive this time out. one of the likely topics to be discussed, the libya scandal. the obama team is still trying to do damage control from vice-president biden's debate comment last week that the president did not know american diplomats in libya had begged for more security prior to last month's attack, plus the initial and repeated statements tying the attack to that anti-islam video. in the meantime, health officials are broadening their warnings to doctors about the company linked to the deadly meningitis outbreak. they say other medicines made by the massachusetts company could be tied to reports of new illnesses. we are three weeks and one day from the presidential election. right now our weekly look at how the electoral college map is shaping up. joining me now is karl rove, former bush senior advisor from austin, texas. in washington
