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 state department wasn't prepared. a spokesperson would not answer. telling fox news "i will take this question, i will take it and come back to you. i am not sure how we come back." the liberal national media has been perplexed in the administration's refusal to tell the american people in a timely manner what ha

the pause and say what did he just say? at one point he reveals that people remember the rezko/obama house deal which was so controversial for obama, and mr. gibson helped break that story. he, he's on the phone with an adviser and says, well, you know, patty was almost the agent on that deal. what do you think of that? and the person he's talking to actually says, what did you just say? [laughter] you know, things like he voted, he talks about his voting record, there's a lot of republican votes in there. he says he voteed for george h.w. bush, and he thinks reagan is his model, and at one point he's talking to this aide and says, you know, if you would tell anybody that, i'll wait a little bit, and then i'll find a way to fire you. you can totally hear his personality. >> what jeff said about the volume is right. it's more rod blagojevich talking crazy talk. but or for these people it was, that he talked to four, five, six, seven b times a day for periods anywhere from a couple minutes to an hour, this was their daily lives. like, this was their existence working for rod blagojevich. for

what did he just say? at one point, he revealed people remember the rezko-obama house deal which was controversial for obama and mr. gibson helped break that story. he is on the phone with an adviser saying, well, patty was almost the agent on that deal. what do you think of that? the person he's talking to says what did you just say? you know, things like he voted -- talks about his voting record. a lot of republican votes in there. he voted for george hw bush and thinks rage p is his model. he talked about voting for bush, and he says, you know, if you tell anybody that, i'll wait a bit and find a way to fire you. you can hear the personality. >> yeah, i mean, what jeff said is right about the volume. he does -- it's more rod blagojevich talking crazy talk, but for these people, it was -- they talked to four, five, six, seven times a day for periods anywhere from a couple minutes to an hour. this was their daily lives, like, this is their existence in working for rod blagojevich. for me, e -- i came away he would be the worst boss to work for. >> he'll call somebody at seven in

at what has gone on in the last four years between the obama white house and the government in israel you will see that the devil is in the details. barack obama stood up at the united nations, two years ago, correct me if i'm wrong, and said the united states could not support palestine in achieving recognition at the united nations. this is down into the details of whether the u.s. stance with israel or not guest: -- or not. guest: he said he would not support without a peace deal with israel, that is unless they go back to the negotiating table, the palestinians will not become a recognized state at the united nations. that has been a consistent theme through 5, six u.s. administrations. guest: mitt romney has weighed in on it, giving a speech last week, and he said he would support a two-state solution. again, this is not very elaborate. i think it is important to note that while mitt romney talks a big game about being a l.i. to israel, he is also embracing the rhetoric that the u.s. would support israel and palestine. host: i am reading from "the washington post, where governor romn

, because it was anita dunn, the communications director of the obama white house who said this white house was a hostile workplace, and it met all the legal requirements of a hostile workplace. you had christina romer who said she felt like a piece of meat. i hope you would show those clips instead of them ignoring the reality of their own administration and how they treat the women that worked for them. i think romney have been worked for him and know so many women, i hope you would show that ad up right now. women, democrats and republicans, who he had in senior positions, they talk about how great he was to work with. he put a woman in charge of his vice presidential vetting things, something democrats give to an old-gray-haired time. >> thank you very much. >>> still to come, getting bossy, there is a new audiotape out tonight that we have obtained of mitt romney telling business owners that they have to go out and tell their employees who to vote for. did that cross a line? plus, president obama's ever-shifting portrayal of al qaeda and the attack in libya. does how he portray the ter

henry in new york. thank you. house oversight committee chairman darrell issa says the obama administration is trying to buy the election by propping up the medicare advantage program. issa is expected to subpoena documents from the health and human services department friday. issa contends the demonstration project costing more than $8 billion aims to postpone cuts to the program until after the election. h.h.s. says the project is providing incentives to improve care. >>> welfare spending topped $1 trillion last year. that is according to republican senator jeff sessions. he says spending by the federal and state government on more than 80 so-called welfare programs went from $800 billion in 2008 to more than a trillion in 2011. stocks were off today. dow lost eight. the s&p 500 dropped four. nasdaq fell 31. we do some fact checking on the debate argument over pensions. you may be surprised at what we found. later in the grapevine. can the final debate slow down governor romney's momentum? that's next.

obama earned the white house. he said he was going to be the great you niter. remember the beautiful inaugural address and was glorious, where he said to conservatives i want to listen to you, especially when we disagree. beautiful idea. he was going to meet with conservatives in congress once a week. that was a great idea. he met twice. three days after that beautiful speech the conservatives in congress came to the white house and had a meeting and eric cantor air, congressman from virginia articulated the conservative perspective on increasing taxes, that we shouldn't do that. you know what obama said? he said eric, i won, you lost, i trump you on that. week later he said i want the folks who got us into this mess to do a lot less talking and a lot more listening. you can talk a little bit but i want you to stay on the sidelines while we try to clean this up. unbelievable. gone was any notion of unifying the country, bringing us together. instead, there came this steady mantra of attack and vilify the other side. no ideas. just by his 2008 campaign for president was not idea based

in the past and question his ability to be impartial mediators. >>> now to the race for the white house. president obama was back in the battleground state of ohio following last night's contentious and accusatory debate. he is saying that mitt romney's ideas just don't add up. >> you've heard of the new deal, ohio. you've heard of the fair deal. mitt romney is trying to sell you a sketchy deal. >> ohio is a swing state. no republican has won the white house without carrying it. the president narrowly carried the state in 2008 with 51.5% of the vote. ohio has 18 of the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the presidency. >> i have to be honest. i love these debates. these things are great, and i think it's interesting that the president still doesn't have an agenda for a second term. >> governor romney headed to virginia today to highlight the president's failures over the past four years. they will meet for the third and final debate next week in boca raton, florida. >>> and big bird supporters are planning a rally and are calling it the million puppet march on november 3. more th

was the result of secret exchanges between iranian and american officials dating to the beginning of mr. obama's presidency. the white house denies that but says it is prepared to meet jointly with iran and other nations. >>> senator john kerry. he says the move by republican leaders on the house oversight committee exposes libyan nation algs working with the u.s. to possible danger and is irresponsibility. a spokesman for the committee's chairman, congressman darrell issa says kerry's trying to cree yagt a distraction to mislead the american people. >>> lib yap and foreign policy will take center stage on tomorrow's showdown between president obama and republican mitt romney. both candidates are being prepping. cnn's athena jones takes a look at which candidate might have the edge in the final face-off. >> reporter: the third and final 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 w

that romney is not a good alternative but disapprove with obama's performance in the white house. >> reporter: here in florida, we went looking for the undecided voters. and they're not easy to find. watching the debate tomorrow night? >> absolutely. >> yes. >> reporter: two of the three have decided, but michelle, in the middle, has not. still not convinced whose economic plan is most fair. >> they need to help people more. focus on the people falling through the cracks. >> reporter: you are voting president obama, you're voting mitt romney. you're going to be the decided vote. >> yes. >> reporter: let's check back in with you. frank, leaning obama, but says romney in that first debate easterned a second look. >> i would be for obama, but mr. romney brought up a lot of good issues. >> reporter: so, you really are going to be watching closely? >> absolutely. i think a lot of people are. >> reporter: in fact, convincing the few undecided voters that remain could change the race. just ask nate. says tomorrow night the candidate that moves the needle even by a fraction could win. >> if one candi

, the white house is promising president obama will not hold back during tonight's pressure-packed town hall style debate in new york. the presidency could be on the line with tightening polls and election day just three weeks away. nbc's tracie potts has that story. tracie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. expect this to be more interactive. both sides say they are ready. team romney. >> a good presence about him. >> reporter: team obama with a cheerleadr in the wings. >> i'm smiling. i'm giving a thumbs up if he can see it. i assume he can. i make sure i'm always giving him that positive love. >> reporter: this second debate is a town hall format with questions from the audience and candidates pushing their own agendas. >> these debates are giving us the ability to cut through the clutter and give people a very clear choice. >> there needs to be a more compelling economic argument made tomorrow night about why the obama/biden ticket is one that's going to keep the country moving in the right direction. >> reporter: aides say romney will bring up the vague tax map and the 47% dismis

who is usually fairly reserved had this to say about obama white house. >> i suspect that the white house knew. i suspect the national security advisor knew and keef of staff. if they didn't inform the president shame on them. i suspect the president and vice president did know of the nature of the threats that existed around 9/11. >> bret: the nature of the threats. british convoy is attacked in june. the actual benghazi consulate is bombed leading up to that. >> i am not in the white house now and neither is andy card. i know this. the president and his team have given to the american people the best information they had when they had it. it makes no sense to attempt to deceive anybody on this issue. we never have. >> bret: how is that the correct information? when you have charlene lamb, the state department official, testifying in the house that she is real-time getting the information from on the ground during the eight-hour attack. so the state department knows. the c.i.a. has assets on the ground. the intelligence community knows. so how is it that eight days later, beyond th

. is something the white house and obama campaign cannot be happy b now we're back. candy crowley, as i understand walked back for correction of mitt romney and said on a broader point he was correct. and the administration was blaming this on the video. we're back into this discussion about the time line. what happened, when? why administration was talking about the video. not about a terrorist attack. that is something that the white house can't be happy about. >> and your thoughts as well? >> yes. yes. you know i think these guys have it right. a agree. i think romney has a -- larger point is right. i think candy crowley believes what she said if romney is right on the larnler point is that the administration maintains is not a premeditated. issue here he took a long time to acknowledge, romney is not. this is kind of pointing at the president saying you said thachl you said that. he did, you know, sorry saying are you claiming you said thachl the president had said that. i do think if people read the remarks next line refered to the four people who died in libya. small point he blew

at a disadvantage compared to other states. >>> now to the reyes for the white house. both president obama and republican nominee mitt romney are attending the same dinner tonight in new york city. the two candidates greeted each other cordially before the event started. the dinner is a benefit for taxless charity and is being held tat end of presidential campaigns since the conclusion of world war ii. >> workers have a de cent living, have a little money in their pockets. that means businesses do better. that means businesses make more profit, then they hire more workers. that's how you grow an economy. that's why we can't go back ward. >> earlier today president obama campaigned in new hafrp chir pointing out the progress made during his and promising more to come and getting concentrated attention from both political parties. >> the president can't fix washington from the inside. if the middle class has been buried for the last four years and if the economy is not fixed then it's time we changed presidents and elect mitt romney, the next president of the united states. >> mitt romney st

dinner for catholic charities. >> it's nice to relax and wear what ann and i wear around-the-house. >> reporter: president obama was spoke second and quick on the draw himself. >> everyone take your seats otherwise clint eastwood will yell at them. he admitted some people may be tired of the presidential election. >> sometimes it feels like this race has dragged on forever. but paul ryan assured me we've only been running for two hours and 50 something minutes. >> reporter: the laughs faded when the president was questioned about the government's response in the crisis in libya during an appearance on the "daily show." >> you who admit it was not the optimal response at least to the american people as far as us being all on the same page. >> here's what i'll say. before americans get killed it's not optimal and we'll fix it. >> reporter: both candidates go back out on the trail today. president obama will rally supporters in virginia, while mitt romney campaigns with his running mate in daytona beach, florida. romney is leading in most polls in the sunshine state. on thursday the "

house response to the benghazi terror attack. the administration still defending its actions. kelly wright live in washington with the latest. good morning, kelly. >> good morning to you, as well. the obama administration continues to draw fire over the ter re terrorist attacks in zin libya. they blamed a spontaneous demonstration over an anti muslim film for that attack. investigation acknowledged it was a terrorist attack. four people were killed including ambassador christopher stevens and shawn smith. smith's mother told fox news she had a hard time getting any information on how her son was killed. >> leon pineda shook his hands to my face and said, trust me, i will tell you the truth. i will get the right information to you. just trust me. and when i heard that i knew i couldn't trust him. i don't trust any of them any more. they lied. >> during last week's debate he defended them saying they were unaware of a request for adding more security on the ground. they claim the president bung elled the operation. some republicans are suggesting the obama administration is involved i

the obama campaign is in their we'll house. mitt romney had a number of foreign policy missteps over the summer. if romney were to land some blows on president obama who has been on the offensive over the u.s. consulate attack in benghazi, it could be devastating for the president. >> thank you. reminder that the third and final presidential debate set for monday in florida. focus on foreign policy i am that debate stars 6 p.m. -- started 6 p.m.. >>> time for the forecast, mike has all the radar information. cool down coming. >> significant. this morning mild with cloud cover, you can see clouds and winds picking up as we speak coming in off the ocean southerly surge came in overnight as we talked about yesterday many now it is jut a matter of time before it knocks down temperatures later this afternoon. live doppler so far no radar returns. i wouldn't be surprised if there's a little drizzle along the coast this morning and possibility that patches of it could linger into the afternoon. temperatures mild all of us in the low to mid 60s. monterey bay also in the low to mid 60s. by th

are not aligned with the themes we portray in our series. if you read only one thing this morning, president obama's white house designer, michael s. smith has now done the interiors for a two bedroom apartment in mid town manhattan with lovely views of central park. the price for that two bedroom, $50 million. get a look at what that kind of money buys you in my must read. a lot of pictures. it's up on our facebook page at facebook/jansi facebook/jansing and company. phillips'. is a thrilling, dual-flavored ride to mouth fun-town. but it's not like everyone is going to break into a karaoke jam session. ♪ this will literally probably never happen. >>> people call him old, moderate mitt. they're raising doubts about mitt romney's shift to the center. they say look no further than what he said during the primary and what he's saying now. >> do i believe supreme courts should overturn roe v. wade, yes, i do. [ inaudible ] >> i don't -- there's no legislation regarding -- with regards to abortion that i'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda. >> let's bring in democratic strategist, jam

but there's a whole host of literature about how tough a place the obama white house has been for women. you know, it's not been -- it's been sort of cast as a boy's club at the top and i'm surprised that romney didn't go back to that because it has been a vulnerability for obama basically from the campaign on. >> i don't know though. this is someone who supported the blunt amendment, john. you look at paul ryan's record, legislatively speaking romney is in such a hole on issues that women care about, whether aimed at he would be delighted to sign a constitutional ban on abortion or, you know, any host of other things that he's come out in support of and tried to walk back in recent weeks. >> can i talk about the metrics of this question. there's something, maybe it was me, the way it was -- his answer was framed that was really shocking to me. maybe it is just me. he started the question, started answering the question by saying i really learned about the problems of women in the work place when i became governor of massachusetts. now if my math is correct and it often isn't, he became gove

does. i mean, if you compare the salaries and the obama white house between women and men, you'll see an incredible disparity. once again, you have the president doing one thing and saying another. just like the debt, deficit, jobs, that's this president's problems. >> let me ask you this bush question and governor romney outlined what he says makes him different from president bush. how important do you think that is? >> i think it's a narrative driven by the democrat and i think you have to answer questions straight on which mitt romney did and there is a difference. look, i don't think paul ryan and mitt romney have ever not said, look, there's plenty of blame to go around for how we got to a place with these incredible deficits and the central focus is that the president didn't follow through on his promises that he made in that economy. you know, it's funny. robert was out here and said, well, it was a terrible economy. wait a minute, you won based on the economy, the case that you made based on the economy that you ran and in 2008 you said you would fix it and you didn't and tha

there was an effort, when the obama white house and s ort to revoke e carried interest, the fight was led by people like democrat senator chuck schumer representing wall street. >> new yorkers. >> new yorkers, of course. that's their constitue>>y, they would say if they were sitting here. but the democratic party didn't come to the aidy, and relief of working people at that time. >> well, right. bec ase, again, but it's because you have a small, severy, very vencentrated lobby that is very, very noisy, and is very, very specific in what it wants and what it needs. and then there's the rest of us who how many people are really thinking about the carried interest tax break? the advocacy against the carried interest tax break is disbursed, it's sort of random. it's not focused. whereas the advocacy for it is incredibly organized, it's disciplinedand it has a ton of money. >> and it is bipartisan. >> who's looking out for the rest of us? >> well, there definitely are good people in washington. you know, i meet and talk to a lot of them. there are a lot of honest politicians. and who are trying to do th

two years of the obama administration where with control in the house, the senate, and the white house consolidated in one party, they did things where you can look back and say, boy, there are some flaws and weaknesses in the affordable care act or in dodd frank, but they muscled them through. once the house was lost, that effort to begin to muscle things through went awry and you didn't have the same effort being made in the senate as you did before. i just think you have got to get -- we got to get the election behind us, that is inevitable, there is no session until that happens. once it does, what is really important to understand is that there is a lot of weakness economically around the world today. i think the c.e.o.s of some of the largest american companies look at this and say this is an opportunity for america, but not an opportunity that's to be taken for granted, not one that is assured. it's an opportunity and you have to act and you have to seize it and that means you do have to deal with, i think, the long-term fiscal problems. you certainly have a tax structure in the

served as the moderator during obama's debate prep in recent days, former white house communications director, anita dunn. in "confidence men," she was quoted as saying "this place would be in court for a hostile workplace because it fit all of the classic legal requirements for a genuinely hostile workplace to women. joining me, the author of "culture of corruption," michelle malkin. michelle, first of all, there was a story that came out from the free beacon in april of 2011 that women in the white house were paid 18% less than their male counterparts. since obama's been president, we have a half a million fewer women working, .5% increase in unemployment for women. the poverty rate for women in this country, 16.3%. 25 million american women live in poverty, an increase of 3.6 million women under obama's policies. >> yes. >> sean: those are staggering numbers. >> they are. and of course if this record existed under a republican administration, it would be branded miscegenist with a capital "m." it's not economic havoc they've wrought on the wrest of the country, but it's the gripin

up the 2011 "time" magazine article, the white house boys club, obama has a woman problem. he has been criticized for the atmosphere in the white house, for who he surrounds himself with. for the fact he pays women less. it say if this is a fight you want, bring it on. all the ads he cut with the celebrities, i disagree with you. they are for voters he already had. >> dana: that is true. on the binder thing, talk about that and get your reaction. if you're in business and you are going to expand your talent pool, how else are you supposed to look up and find possible candidates than have them in a thing, like maybe not be a binder, it could be a trapper keeper or digitized today. how do you have it? >> eric: that is exactly what it was. romney showing the businessman experience, which by the way created a ton of jobs. obama hasn't created one job yet. still waiting for that. i called up my good friend mark levin. you worked at reagan. what happened? he said exactly that. i was an associate. with reagan. you were constantly bringing binders of people who were qualified for the top

believe, you yourself, or does governor romney believe that the white house, mr. obama, ms. clinton and so forth, do you think they're misleading? do you think they have in effect misled us and have not told us the truth? >> first of all, be clear. i don't speak to governor romney. i'm not an adviser or a spokesperson. personally, it seems to me there is some degree of either denial, maybe they're deceiving themselves, or deception. but it seems as though all of this goes so much against the grain of we've killed bin laden and al qaeda's on the ropes that it's sort of hard to admit it. but as i said a few minutes ago, it's absolutely critical to admit that we have a major problem still. killing bin laden was a good thing. capturing khalid -- we've done a lot of things that have weakened al qaeda. but these people are around for the long haul. we have to be around for the long haul. and this notion that we can't afford nation building abroad because we have to do mission building at home, we've got to attend to both. and that is why, if i can make this point on your business channel, fixing

, is it still 19 days out for some conservatives an issue they don't want barack obama in the white house? >> it's not as simple as that. it's that they don't want a repeat of the last four years. i think your viewers should not mistake what about conservative industry for conservative voters around the country. they're not in new york city or washington, d.c. and don't have book deals and blogs. they're conservatives who care deeply about the country. they're concerned the last four years are a failure. >> you're from iowa and i'm originally from texas. me mother lives in one of the most conservative parts of the state of texas f-that makes sense at this point. the reality is and this is something we heard as well, the decisions and the policies from this president are similar to what we saw during the clinton years. so then you would just suppose -- clinton says it themselves. they agree their policies are the same. you have former president bush and romney's policies from the bush tax cuts. when you compare under that, if we do a bush versus clinton scenario for pete's sake here, what years w

afternoon. >>> in the race for the white house, president obama and mitt romney will make another joint appearance this evening at a new york event with a lighthearted tradition. the alfred e. smith memorial foundation dinner raises money for needy children. the two candidates campaigned in battleground states yesterday. the president criticized romney's comments in the previous night's debate that he would need binders full of women to find qualified females for cabinet positions. >> we don't have to collect a bunch of binders to find qualified talent of driven young women. >> why is it that there are 3.6 million more women in poverty today than when the president took office? this president has failed america's women. >> meanwhile, an estimated 65.6 million viewers tuned in to watch tuesday's town hall style debate down slightly from the audience for debate 1. but still a lot of people watching. >> that's a fifth of our population. >>> time now 4:41. kids cut class but they are not the ones getting in trouble. >> it's true. the punishment now for parents from kids who ditch school. >>

taking 63 seats in the house and obama's big advantage is gone. with no real authority. what did he do with the money? hi start to look at what's he will do now and in the past and again and again a lot had not been reported in depth. he had a huge technology apparatus. i went to chattanooga i found a company called smart tech. he told me he never heard of it. i find that hard to believe. if you go through the funds and of a corporate changes the original money came from to wealthy republican donors reynolds and the lipper and '80s they bailed out george to be bush several times. he had 38 will company is that went belly up and came to his rescue. also baseball royalties. dewitt imams st. louis cardinals. his father owned the st. louis browns. they gave bush on trade for his ownership of the texas rangers. of the on a lucrative investment year barmaid. he put in 600,000 and came away with 15 million. this company started off as a legitimate company became a republic and operation in. they should have their web sites but this was unusual. i saw george debut bush was there. hundred and

to learn, there's -- and president obama's -- the house minority put forward, we're not seeing any budgets obviously from the senate, but there are growth assumptions. let's go in and explore those. but somehow this notion that the only way to get more revenue to the federal government is by raising taxes is a choice that we don't think is robust, and historically it has been one that people have come to only reluctantly. and so we're single, we both agree there's reluctance to raise taxes, that let's not go there as the first place and let's explore every other equal opportunity. i think there is an opportunity to look at this growth model. carriages. let's do that. now, the bottom line is the election on november 6 is going to have a huge disposition on this question. and it's my hope that we can forgo the drummer around fiscal cliff, that we can move the sequestration of the house is done, that we can bridge, extend the race for another year and move this debate and tax reform -- the november 6 election will be consequential in terms of the energy that comes out of that election at the

together. that is why barack obama earned the white house because he said it was granted a great uniter. remember that beautiful inaugural address and was glorious where he said to conservatives i want to listen to you especially when we disagree. nice, beautiful idea. and he was going to meet with conservatives in congress once a week. the was agreed idea, too. he met twice. so, three days after that beautiful speech, the conservatives in congress came to the white house and they had a meeting and eric cantor, a congressman from virginia articulated the perspective on increasing taxes that we shouldn't do that and you know what obama said three days after? he said i won, you lost. about a week later he said i won the folks that got us into this mess to do a whole lot less talking and a lot more listening. you can talk a little bit but i want you to stay on the sidelines while we try to clean this up for you. unbelievable. gone with any notion of unifying the country of bringing us together. instead, they're came this steady mantra of attack and vilify the other side. no ideas. it was n

time in several years. that's obviously something that's got to bring relief to the obama white house. >> it does, but he's not at 52% or 53%. i think that if you just looked at the polls and you looked at the totality of the national and battleground states, the president still appears to have an edge, but he's not put the race away. and i think the reason why the debate is so big is because governor romney is moving towards, as i said earlier, being an acceptable choice for a lot of americans. the big thing for me in the polls, while he's improved in his attributes to some extent, his likability is up, for instance, he's not winning decisively by any means on the question of who would do a better job on the economy going forward. that remains the big issue in the campaign, not syria, not libya, not anything else. and i think the big thing for me in the debate and in general as romney goes to these battleground states is can he be more compelling on his economic vision for the future? right now the president's message of don't go back to the bush years i think is more compelling and

decided -- to do with the public. house democrats were not part of that deal. house democrats were not pleased with that deal. what happened back then? should obama win, are you confident that will not happen again? >> many of us were upset with this cut at the time. we thought it was a sweetheart deal for the wealthiest in the country. the president agreed was a bad idea, but he felt forced to except that. the president has been clear that if we want to be serious about reducing the deficit, we have got to ask very wealthy people to contribute. he has been very clear that he would veto any deal that came to his desk of extended the tax cuts for the wealthy people. >> to talk about the grover norquist pledge. some republicans have been quoted saying if president obama wins, taxes are going to go up. those are coming from some house republicans including tom paul. they estimate will take the house, that means republicans going along with that. do you think and obama when would be a mandate to raise taxes on the wealthy, do you think there would be enough republicans but would break

national committee are now made by the aids that word in the white house itself that are on the government payroll. >> so, give an example when it comes to fund raising witho president obama. >> sure. certainly. president obama has broken all records for presidential fund-raising. i have tracked every president since jimmy carter. president obama has held about 301st term fund-raisers. the previous record before that was george w. bush who had held about half of that amount. he broke bill clinton's defense record and he broke george h. w. bush's records and so on. so it's important to note that it is a multi president story. president obama's critics have been quick to jump on him for devoting so much time to fund raising, and he absolutely has broken records. but there is a very understandable reason why. what we have seen in the presidential fund-raising is an unintentional consequence of the rules of our political system that we have campaign finance rules designed to reduce corruption or the appearance of corruption, and to do that we limit the amount of money that presidents and cand
