to dominate when he said this. >> obama: when governor romney said he had a five-point plan. governor romney does not have a five-point plan. he has an one-point plan. that's to make sure that folks at the top play by a different set of rules. that has been his philosophy in the private sector that was his philosophy as governor. >> cenk: damn, i love that five-point plan. mitt romney is looking around the middle of the ring, is that what is happening here? oh no, what now. >> cenk: then that started a series of tense conversation. >> romney: you cut permits and licenses on federal lands and federal waters in half. >> obama: not true. >> romney: how much did you cut them by. >> obama: we produced more oil. >> romney: how much did you cut licenses on federal lands and waters. >> obama: here's what we did. >> romney: i had a question, hutch did you cut them by. >> obama: i'm happy to answer the question. >> romney: and it is. >> obama: production is up. >> romney: production on oil on land is 14% and production of gas is down 9%. >> obama: that's not true. >> romney: you're a person who will p

're not an enemy of hours. there is a huge difference between what president obama is doing and what governor romney proposes. president obama wants to dictate energy policy from the white house, which he's been a huge failure at doing. romney wants to put control back into the private marketplace and that's where it belongs. >> rick? >> it would be a more interesting to discussion to talk about the national breakfast cereal. >> we are not. >> i like that. >> as moderator, we're not going to talk about breakfast scroll. >> look, it is what it is and i don't know why we have to change the message. discussing reality is not satisfying in an election year to certain sides. the reality is the green policy of the obama administration, maybe you like it, maybe you don't. i happen to think it's necessary but it's -- >> it's not working. >> it's too early to know if it's working. >> hold on. you want reality? here's reality. the president spent $4 billion on 36 wind farms. the government claimed to have 7,200 jobs that resulted from this. the "wall street journal" went to the wind farms and found 300

[ applause ] >> gentlemen, thank you both for joining us here tonight. we have a lot of folks waiting all day to talk to you. so i want to get right to it. governor romney, as you know, you won the coin toss. the first question will go to you. i want to tourn a first-time voter. jeremy epstein who has a question for you. >> mr. president governor romney, as a 20-year-old college student, all i hear from professors neighbors and others is that when i graduate i will have little chance to get employment. what can you say to reassure me but more importantly my parents i will be able to sufficiently support myself after i graduate? >> romney: thank you jeremy. i appreciate your question and thank you for being here this evening and to all of those from nassau county, thank you for your time and thank you to hofstra university and to candy crowley for leading this event. thank you, mr. president, also for being part of this debate. you

land and federal waters in half. >> obama: not true governor romney. not true. >> romney: by how much did you cut them by? >> obama: we've produced more oil. >> romney: by how much? >> obama: governor romney, here's what we did. there were a whole bunch of oil companies -- >> romney: i had a question. >> obama: you want me to answer a question. i'm happy to answer the question. >> romney: and it is -- >> obama: here's what happened. you had a whole bunch of oil companies who had lease on public lands that they weren't using. so what we said was you can't just sit on this for ten 20, 30 years. , decide when you want to drill when you want to produce. when its's most profitable for you. these are public lands so if you want to drill on public lands you use it or you lose it. that's what we did was take away those leases and we're now reletting them so we can make a profit. >> romney: production on lands is down. >> obama: no, it isn't. >> romney: production is down 14%. production on gas is down 9%.

reports poll of 11 swing states has governor romney up 49% to 47%. president obama losing his six-point octoberr4th lead in the process. the favorability rating showing a candidate in governor romney who is now likable to a majority of american voters. the pew research center showing governor romney's favorable rating at 50% to the president's 49. a stunning turn around from march when the president's rating was nearly twice that of governor romney's. brand new fox poll in the important battleground state of florida has romney outpacing the president 55% to 51% in the favooables. the gallup favorability poll has the republican nominee on top as well. mr. romney beating the president 52-51%. incredibly, the left-leaning public policy institute giving governor romney the biggest lead in likability. the governor up three percentage points on the president in that, in that poll which is co-sponsored by the service employees international union. talk about objectivity. and the real clear politics electoral college projection now has governor romney ahead of the president for the first

. >> president obama: the day after the attack, governor, i stood in the rose garden, and i told the american people and the world that we are going to find out exactly what happened. that this was an act of terror. and the suggestion that anybody in my team, whether the secretary of state, our u.n. ambassador -- anybody on my team would play politics or mislead when we have lost four of our own, governor, is offensive. >> reporter: and that led to this exchange, ultimately involving the moderator. >> i think it is interesting the president just said something that is on the day after the attack, he went in the rose garden and said this was an act of terror. you said in the rose garden, the day after the attack, it was an act of terror. it was not a sntaneous demonstration. i want to make sure we get that for the record. because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in benghazi an act of terrorism. >> president obama: get the transcript. >> he did, in fact, sir. let me call that an act of terrorism. >> president obama: can you say that again. >> he did call it an act of te

to the attack. >> president obama: while we were still dealing with our diplomats being threatened, governor romney put out a prs reeas trying t ma political points. and that's not how a commander in chief operates. you don't turn national security into a political issue. certainly not right when it's happening. >> reporter: romney fired back that the president's team blamed the attack on an antimuslim video even after they knew it wasn't so. >> it was a terrorist attack, and it took a long time for that to be told to the american people. whether that was some misleading, or, instead, whether we just didn't know what happened. i thinkou he to ask yourself why didn't we know five days later when the ambassador went on tv to say this was a demonstration. >> reporter: that was in reference to susan rice's statement on september 16th. >> our current assessment is what happened in benghazi was a reaction to what had transpired hours before in cairo. almost a copycat of the demonstrations against our facility in cairo, which were prompted, of course, by the video. >> reporter: state department off

face-off between president obama and governor romney will focus entirely on foreign policy. from afghanistan and pakistan to israel, iran, and the changing middle east. >> it's like they said -- >> reporter: the candidates will spar over america's role in the world, the new face of terrorism, and how to deal with a rising china. the polls have narrowed since the summer. mr. obama tried to highlight one of his biggest foreign policy accomplishments as a light-hearted charity din never the new york. >> monday's debate is a little bit different because the topic is foreign policy. spoiler alert. we got bin laden. >> reporter: he also used his speech to poke fun at his opponent. >> world affairs. some of you may remember after my foreign trip in 2008 i was attacked as a celebrity because i was so popular with our allies overseas and i have to say i'm impressed with how well governor romney has avoided that problem. >> reporter: for his part, romney could try again to bash the president for his administrati administration's messy response to the attack in libya last month and link it

and much more. coming up, an incredibly important debate for president obama, governor romney, and, of course, the nation. the author of "the amateur" is with us tonight, and the campaign strategist, and "wall street journal" senior economic writer, steven moore, and naomi wolf are among our guests. may have accidently or intentionality further confounded the search for truth with the initial claims of responsibility last night for benghazi, but the claims shifted like the story itself of the administration's role in the benghazi tragedy. to assess whether this is a massive coverup as some claim or the failings of well-intentioned government officials as secretary clinton put it, fog of war, and how all of this will play in tonight's presidential debate, author of the new york times best seller, "the amateur," and fox news political analyst, joe trippy, who is at hofstra university at the site of the important debate. let me first, joe, go to you, and as the sense there, for the debate, the stakes are high for the president. is there any special element in the atmosphere there? you

obama warned that promises of lower gas prices are not risk-free. >> president obama: the governor said when i took office, the price of gasoline wasol $1.80, why is that? because the economy was on the virge of collapse. because we were about to go through the worst recession since the great depression. as aonsequence, of some of the sameo policies wovernor romney is now promoting. it is conceivable that governor romney could bring down gas prices, because with his policies, we could be back in the same mess. >> reporter: one of those watching that back an forth, as well as the argument of drilling on federal land was julia alprin, with the "washington post." >> obama made a legitimateng point that weaere in the depths of recession, which a lower gas price. >> reporter: and she said romney's charge that the price fell during the presidents tenure, b that during the oil spill. >> the first three years of the obama has seen an increase in the oil production since the bush administration. 13% in terms of oil production, and 6% in terms of natural gas production. so there actually has not

and verbal attacking, did president obama and governor romney keep their accusations and their explanations on point? in tonight's reality check, sam brock takes a closer look at the claims both candidates made in the heat of the moment. >> janelle, good evening. there are a few things about the debate that are not really debatable. there were definitely some heated exchanges last night. and the candidates seemed to pick and choose their responses at times completely irregardless of the questions being asked. you can manufacturer responses, but you can't tamp were the facts. >> we're off topic here. >> completely. >> we're talking about immigration. >> like two proud peacocks displaying their feathers, the candidates jockeyed for position all night tuesday. but were president obama and governor romney dancing around each other or the facts? >> i asked the president a question. i think hispanics and immigrants all over the nation have asked. >> first up, whether president obama failed to deliver on his promise to push immigration reform through the congress, or even come up with a bill durin

. one debate to go, president obama and governor romney face off on foreign polic but first, we'll talk with gordon chang and walid phares about the middle east a china. president obama and governor romney took a night off in the name of charity. >> find the biggest available straw man and then just mercilessly attack it. big bird didn' even see it coming. [laughte >> chris matthews, four years ago i gave him a thrillp his leg, this time around i gave him a soke. [laughter] lou: they almost seemed to be having fun, didn't they? we'll have a little fun next. speaking of having fun, angry liberal alec baldwin wants to be mayor of new york, so they say. he's leing in the latest poll. it's not the kind of poll you want to lead. the a-team is next. wooohooo....hahaahahaha! oh...there you go. wooohooo....hahaahahaha! i'm gonna stand up to her! no you're not. i know. you know ronny folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico sure are happy. how happy are they jimmy? happier than a witch in a broom factory. get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent more. lo

. >> if president obama owns the economy, governor christie does, too. come on. >> okay. looking at a national level, taking these policies, what could the presidential candidates learn from? from these states that have lowered their unemployment rates? >> well, first off, there are two things, the word "certainty." there is so much uncertainty in the system, i speak to so many small businesses, as well as big businesses, they don't know where the heck they'll be next year. put serpent back into the system as far as tax policies, regulatory policy and just letting business know they are behind them, the thought process, that business owners have, that we're okay again and not have all the roadblocks, let employment flourish and you see unemployment come down and the big thing nationally that kept employment up for the last three years and not where it should be like five or six percent is that one word, no one knows where we'll be next year on tax policy and regulatory policy and if there is certainty in the system i promise unemployment will come down. >> we haven't talked ohio and the policies on

in iowa that he just had -- romney. i watched president obama as to the college. governor romney has not been able to explain to the people. he should talk about obama because obama is not doing the job -- but what are you going to do? what is your actual plan? i hope the american people can see through the smoke screen that this guy has no plan. he wants to become president of united states, i believe he is an opportunist. he is a personal agenda and that is what he is not letting us know what he is doing. host: he was referring to the events we just covered here. in a couple minutes, we'll give you the chance to see last night's debate. let's wrap with a couple of a phone calls. this is jon on our republican line. caller: hello. i would like to say that all these half truths and the grain of the truth, mitt romney has done a lot of that. the problem i would like to talk about is hud, which is on the presidential can net -- cabinet. host: did you say hude? caller: yes. housing and urban development. where were they? host: in terms of mortgages? caller: doing their work. that should

of it. >> obama: when he talks about getting tough on china yeah, keep in mind that governor romney invested in companies that were pioneers of outsourcing to china and currently is investing in companies that are building surveillance equipment for china to spy on its own folks. governor you're the last person who is going to get tough on china. >> jennifer: it's not just that romney has personal investments in companies that outsource but his tax plan and his party's actions actually encourage companies to do so. earlier this year congress considered the "bring jobs home" act which would give companies incentives to hire workers they're instead of overseas. here is pat quinn pushing for that bill in july. >> we're not going to use the tax code of the united states of america to allow these companies to outsource jobs, ship them overseas. then they get to take tax deductions and tax breaks on their plant equipment workers. we the taxpayers are basically subsidizing the outsourcing of our jobs from america. this is wrong. >> jennifer: governor quinn in that clip is standing in front

opportunities, and that's why i'm asking for your vote and another four years. >> president obama, governor romney, thank you for being here tonight. we have come to aen of the town hall debate. we want to thank the people of hofstra university. the next and final debate, monday night in boca raton, florida. don't forget to watch. election day three weeks from today. don't forget to vote. good night. >> we were just pausing to see if they were going to speak to each other, say anything. the two candidates meeting with their wives right now. you saw the president smiling broadly. pretty good reason to smile during the aftermath of this debate. he did today what he avoided doing, what he failed to do during the first debate, namely, going on the offensive, go ahead and respond. came out swinging from the beginning and didn't stop throughout the entire debate. mitt romney had his moments, febttive, very effective, when he referred to promises that the president made before he came into office at the beginning of his tenure, promises he said the president failed to deliver and delivered a litan

following the debate. the second head-to-head encounter with president obama and governor romney had a lot more energy and confrontations than the first go around. more entertaining television. we have daniel lee in washington explaining what it means for the campaign trail. >> reporter: president obama was up early heading to iowa with the footing in the race after the town-hall style debate. the candidates came out aggressively in heated conversation. >> not true, governor romney. not true. >> reporter: the issues are taxes and jobs and women's rights and attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi. >> the suggestion that anybody in my team would play politics or mislead when we lost four of our own, governor, is offensive. >> reporter: hear governor romney falter when he said he did not call it an act of terror. paul ryan clarified romney's point. >> as the facts have come out, it doesn't speak well as how the administration handled it. >> reporter: governor romney talked about the economy and accused obama of failing to keep his promises. >> he said he would cut in half the deficit. he ha

the debate? first question everyone was waiting for what. is going on with libya? president obama, governor romney getting fired up. who is telling the truth? next. >> suggestion that anyone on my team, anyone on my leem teem would play politics or mislead when we've lost four of our ob, governor, is offensive. you see us, at the start of the day. on the company phone list that's a few names longer. you see us bank on busier highways. on once empty fields. everyday you see all the ways all of us at us bank are helping grow our economy. lending more so companies and communities can expand, grow stronger and get back to work. everyday you see all of us serving you, around the country, around the corner. us bank. >> you said in the rose farden it was an act of terror. it was not a spontaneous demonstration. is that what you're saying? >> please proceed, governor. >> i want to make sure we get that for the record. it took the president 14 days before he called at tack in benghazi an act of terror. >> get the transcript. >> he did, in fact. sir. >> and he did call it an act of terror. it did as

voters in tonight's chalk talk. president obama prepping a way for tomorrow's debate, governor romney reportedly skipping debate prep to show up at a paul ryan campaign event. is he getting a little cocky? we will talk to stephen hayes next. look, if you have copd like me, you know it can be hard to breathe, andow that feels. copd includes chroni bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva helps control my copd symptoms by keeping my airways open for 24 hours. plus, it reduces copd flare-ups. spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatmenthat does both. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace fast-acng inhalers for sudden sytoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glauca, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medines you take, even eyerops. stop taking spiriva and seek timmediate medical helppiriva. if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, vision cnges or eye pain, or problems passg urine. other side eects include dry mouth and constition. nothin

television in america and also around the globe. barack obama and governor romney have returned to the campaign trail today following the fiery debate. huge pressure on president obama last night to overcome his lackluster showing in the first debate. governor romney gave little ground, setting the stage for a series of bruising exchanges. the north american editor was watching. >> in 19 days' time, what man will be elected president. both are claiming victories in the big debate. the two men face questions from the audience which reflected the overwhelming worry. >> what can you say to reassure me and my parents that i will be able to support myself? >> what has happened over the last four years has been very hard for america's young people. i know what it takes to get this economy going. >> president obama under pressure after his past performance in the last debate and went on the attack. >> he has a one-point plan, to make sure the people at the top plate by a different set of rules. it has been his philosophy as a governor and as a presidential candidate. >> used to getting

. and when governor romney says the challenge is, well, obama didn't try. that's not true. i sat down with democrats and republicans at the beginning of my term, and i said let's fix this system, including senators previously who supported it on the republican side, but it's very hard for republicans in congress to support comprehensive immigration reform if their standard-bearer has said this is not something i'm interested in supporting. >> let me get the governor in here. governor, speak to the idea of self-importation. >> let me go back to the points the president made and get them correct. i did not say that the arizona law was a model for the nation in that aspect. i said that the e-verify portion of the arizona law, which is -- which is a portion of the law which says that employers could be able to determine whether someone is here illegally or not legally is a model for the nation. that's number one. number two, i asked the president a question, i think hispanics and immigrants all over the nation was asked. he was asked on univision the other day, why didn't you file legisla

an interesting debate are round two, president obama and governor mitt romney face on on tuesday. a town hall who sales the format is going the be a challenge. >> the challenge is they have to connect the people watching them but to the people on the stage with them, some 80 or so undecided voters. so they have to keep the folks in mind. it is more up close adventure. >> president obama is under pressure after he got bad reviews. >> one bad debate is losing a battle. throw could mine he loses the war. i think you are going to see very different president obama this time around. he has to be seen as being aggressive but not too much. >> romney has got and boost. >> there is more energy and passion, people are getting behind the campaign. >> reporter: at a town hall without a podium, the candies style and body language can be important. in 1992 president bush repeatedly checked his watch. a sign some thought that he didn't want to be there. and some said #j9÷ethat bill cl talking towards the audience highlighted his abilities to connect with voters. one thing that can make it hard is a question l

with ohio senator rob portman. portman, of course, is playing the role of president obama and governor romney's practice sessions. up tonight's town hall style debate at hofstra university poses unique challenges for president obama and governor romney. both must exchange and confront each other while at the same time showing more concern for voters. the first read team notes president obama must show he's a fighter and explain his vision for a second term. mitt romney needs to show he can connect with americans. >> you're going to see an exceptionally strong debate performance tonight from the president. >> you walk in front of the jury at closing argument, and you don't have a few good facts on your side, you're going to have perry mason at your lawyer or you're losing the case. >> your one question for the president? >> why would the last four years be better? >> we're moving, man, come on. >> the setting is familiar to president obama. he sparred in the same location with john mccain only four years ago. let memathiet matthews, host of "hardball." they refer to this as the closing

in this country. crowley: thanks, governor. obama: my philosophy on taxes has been simple. and that is, i want to give middle-class families and folks who are striving to get into the middle-class some relief. because they have been hit hard over the last decade. over the last 15, over the last 20 years. so four years ago i stood on a stage just like this one. actually it was a town hall, and i said i would cut taxes for middle- class families, and that's what i've done, by $3,600.00. i said i would cut taxes for small businesses, who are the drivers and engines of growth. and we've cut them 18 times. and i want to continue those tax cuts for middle-class families, and for small business. but what i've also said is, if we're serious about reducing the deficit, if this is genuinely a moral obligation to the next generation, then in addition to some tough spending cuts, we've also got to make sure that the wealthy do a little bit more. so what i've said is, your first $250,000.00 worth of income, no change. and that means 98% of american families, 97% of small businesses, they will not see a tax

day rolling average puts governor romney at 52% to the president's 45%. president obama and governor romney were in the same place at the same time tonight. instead of trading barbs they traded one liners. >> reporter: president obama and mitt romney took a break from their contentious campaigns for a night of laughs at a new york charity event. they poked fun at themselves and each other. >> in the spirit of sesame street the president's remarks are brought to you by the letter o i and the number 16 trillion. >> i went shopping at stores in midtown. i understand governor romney went shopping for some stores in midtown. >> reporter: a white tie catholic charity fundraiser. >> it's nice to relax and wear what ann and i wear around the house. >> mitt is his middle name. i wish i could use my middle name. >> reporter: the al smith dinner has been a traditional stop for presidential candidates since the end of world war ii. both candidates got laughs. >> of course i'm pleased that the president is here. we were chatting pleasantly this evening as if tuesday night never happened. >> i had

demonstration. >> obama: please proceed governor. >> romney: i want to make sure you get that for the record because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in benghazi an act of terror. >> did he in fact, sir. >> obama: can you say that a little louder, candy? >> he did call it an act of terror. >> stephanie: the crowd goes wild! he looks so sure on his face and then. >> obama: says please proceed, governor. >> romney: candy, candy, help me! >> we have the original audio from the rose garden. >> no act of terror will ever shake this great nation, alter that character or eclipse the light of the values we stand for. tonight, we mourn four more americans who represent the very best of the united states of america. we will not waiver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act and make no mistake justice will be done. >> stephanie: act of terror. hmm. funny that. i know he had to be -- what's the word? presidential. but i don't. the only thing -- again you

support to al-qaeda. >> tom: presidt obama and governor mitt romney may have been a time zone apart today but they continued trading barbs after last night's second presidential debate. >> let's recap what we learned last night. the tax plan doesn't add up. his jobs plan doesn't create jobs. his deficit reduction plan adds to the deficit. >> i mean he spends most of his time talking about how my plan won't work. what about his plan? we know his plan has not worked. >> tom: "n.b.r.'s" shinon bureau chief darren gersh joins us. so, darren, romney floated a new idea last night, capping tax deductions at $25,000 while cutting tack rate for all wage earners. doesn't add to the deficit according to the governor. does it add up, though? >> tom you'll be shocked, shocked to hear that right now it doesn't. we don't have enough details. here's what we know. so the governor has proposed about $5 trillion in tax cuts. that 25,000 cap he talked abt onitemized deductions, according to the tax policy center, would raise about $1.3 trillion. so you have a hole of 3.7 trillion, and we don't know how gover

. >>> governor mitt romney's now calling out president obama over what many are calling a string of petty attacks on the campaign trail, truly getting nasty. it's a huge sign, according to governor romney, of just how desperate the obama campaign has become. take a listen. >> they have no agenda for the future. no agenda for america. no agenda for a second term. it's a good thing. they won't have a second term. [cheers and applause] they have -- they've been reduced to petty attacks and silly word games. just watch it. the obama campaign has become the incredible shrinking campaign. >> so little time left. angela mcgown is a fox news political analyst, jumu green is a fox news contributor, the former president of the women's media center. we now, ladies, have our christmas cards between us. great to see both of you. >> you too, jamie. >> i know voters are looking for specifics. i know that foreign policy is going to be the topic for the debate on monday. what is it that you want president obama to say to reel in whatever democrats are undecided? >> all president obama has to do is to continue to

. >>> our goal this week is to look at the philosophies of both president obama and governor romney when it comes to tech and communications issues. and to explore any possible policy changes that could result from a second obama administration or a first romney administration. joining us in our discussion is john kneuer. he used to be the administrator of telecommunications under the george w. bush administration and ed paisley is also with us a long time journalist. he's currently vice president for editorial for the center for american progresses action fund. and mr. paisley tbb we could start with you. how would you describe president obama's overall philosophy when it comes to tech and communications issues? >> guest: i would include tech communications in science. i think all three go together. i think it's -- one from the other or two from the other. the overall philosophy is trying to figure out the best way in which the federal government can work cooperatively with the private sector in improving u.s. competitiveness. and the administration did a number of different public priv

obama and governor romney hit the trail for the last time before monday's foreign policy debate in boca raton. when the candidates leave florida tuesday there will be just 14 days left in this race, folks. romney, paul, ryan, even ann romney campaigned in the sunshine state. the vice president will stump in florida as well. president obama holds a rally in fairfax, virginia, before leaving for camp david where he's doing his foreign policy debate prep this weekend. florida is to romney what ohio is to the president. it's a state that the campaign believes they are going to win, but also view as a must-win. it's not an accident that for the first time romney is doing his debate prep in a swing state rather than at home. they'll prepare in del ray beach near west palm. on monday night the candidates will clash once again on the administration's handling of the september 11th attack in benghazi. and this morning the associated press has been reporting that will drive that debate. the cia station chief in libya reported to washington, the cia in washington -- probably more accurately mcclai

obama won the debate in about 6400 people think governor romney won the debate tonight. an independent out there. what you think? >> my issue with this -- it seems to be a common one from what i've noticed. although mitt romney has his five point plan, it seems to be brought. i can make up a five point plan might now. i would like to know the details. anybody can say they will change trade and do all of these broad things that he is saying. right now, i am not a big barack obama fan but president obama really got caught in some fact checking that he should have done on what he was going to say against obama in things like when he was referring to the statement on the terror statement made on the day of the attack in bangkok the and different things like that. in his economic policies -- in benghazi and things like that. and his economic policies. i think obama might have stuck to what he said but he did not follow through. i do not think either one of these people are stupid to run this country the way they're acting. -- are suited to run this country the way they are acting. i think h

. governor romney and president obama shared the stage in new york city. the light hearted night included plenty of self-deprecation. >> people seem to be very curious as to how we prepare for the debates. let me tell you what i do, first refrain from alcohol for 65 years before the debate. second, find the biggest available straw man and then just mercily attack it. big bird didn't even see it coming. >> of course, the economy is 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. >> unlike tuesday night's slug fest the jabs last night were playful. >> after my to foreign trip in 2008, i was attacked as a celebrity because i was so popular with our allies overseas. and i have to say i'm impressed with how well governor romney has avoided that problem. >> there have been some awkward moments like when the president pulled pope benedict aside to share some advice on how to deal with his critics. he sa

be the final time president obama and former governor mitt romney can share a few laughs. they did just that. last night the two shook hands and smiled just 48 hours after their contentious debate laying down their political swords to headline the most famous dining experience in politics, the al smith dinner in new york city, hosted by the catholic archdiocese. both men worked the one-liners as artfully as they sparred tuesday night. here are a few moments people will likely be talking to about today. >> i was actually hoping the president would bring joe biden along this evening because he'll laugh at anything. >> i felt really well rested after the nice, long nap i had in the first debate. >> i particularly want to apologize to chris matthews. four years ago i gave him a thrill up his leg. this time around i gave him a stroke. >> as president obama surveys the waldorf banquet room with everyone in white tie and finery, you have to wonder what he's thinking. so little time. so much to redistribute. >> after my foreign trip in 2008 i was attacked as a celebrity because i was so popular with

it. he had a democrat house, a democrat senate. >> when governor romney says the challenges is obama didn't try, that's not true. i sat down with democrats and republicans at the beginning of my term but it's very hard for republicans in congress to support comprehensive immigration reform if their standard bearer said this is not something i'm interested in supporting. >> jonathan, can you answer what governor romney's immigration policy would be if he were elected? >> i'm not going to talk about that. president obama had the power in congress to do whatever he wanted for two years. passed a stimulus without a single republican vote and obama care and could have passed immigration reform without a single republican vote so this is a ruse by the president here. he said that romney supported the arizona law and "the washington post" fact checker said was false. he said that romney supports the e-verify portion of that. again, the president trying to defend his own record comes up with an attack on governor romney was false. >> one more time, why then won't you answer the question? i h
