's the foundation of the policies that they're advocating? and i think that's why i think barack obama has the best case to make tonight and i think he'll do well. >> robert gibbs, thanks for joining us. >> rachel, back to you. >> thank you. listening to robert gibbs talking there about how the obama campaign assesses the first debate and how they're looking ahead to the second, do you feel like they got the right lessons learned there? >> i think they probably have got the right lessons. i don't think gibbs is going to tell us all what they learned. and i think that's probably wise. but i think that they got a wake-up call from a lot of their supporters. and i think that they were legitimately stunned by how shameless romney got up there and changed all of his positions. having said that, i think the president should not fight romney's fight. he should not just react to romney, even correcting him. he should cut him off and say he's telling falsehoods or lies, or whatever way he wants to, but he should drive home what i've done and i need to continue and i need to finish the track. he needs to maj

of mr. obama or mr. romney on foreign policy because i think it's important that you know what you're talking about. as a united states senator you need to know when to deep your mouth shut and right now that's the time. everythingrivy to they know. that's an area where i would look forward to having briefings and having the opportunity to learn more about. >> thank you very much, thanks to you for -- thanks to you the candidates for joining us and my colleagues for being here as well for this texas debate. we'll make this program available on texasdebates.org. election day is tuesday, november 6. good night. \[captioning performed by national captioning institute] \[captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2012] >> the enemy understands this will be a major defeat in their ideology of hatred. that is why they're fighting. that is why they're fighting.

obama's? >> nite there's no doubt in my mind that if we move to pro growth policies we'll see the kinds of recovers we've seen before. you know, it is not true that it's inevitable to grow more slowly after a financial crisis. simply not true. >> the president has been on the campaign trail -- i believe it was today or yesterday he said he's cut taxes for small business 18 times. >> but the president has proposed raising attacks on small businesses around the corner. if you add up his small business tax increases, they trump anything he's ever done. a great study by the american enterprise institute on this just this week. >> but he is being -- you know, he is looking at people in the eye saying, i've cut taxes for small business 18 times. i don't understand. who's right? we have scott cohen on the truth squad but he's saying it on the campaign trail right now as he speaks. what's the answer? you're saying it's absolutely not true? >> it's absolutely not true. he's proposed large tax increases on small businesses going forward. that will make it harder for them to create jobs and harder

barack obama" without saying what he will and endorses most of barack obama's foreign policy. so what we're getting a lot from quar campaign-- you guys are really good at this. i don't work for a campaign so it's not kind of an even fight here-- from your campaign a lot of top-line rhetoric-- i'm strong, he's weak, i can make the economy better. he can't, without either filling in the specifics-- >> the specifics are there. >> go back to the one thing-- >> how to create jobs. >> go back to the one big issue, the big tax cut plan. he will not say how to pay for it. in fact they say over and over again we don't want to give that away. it's like it-- you remember nixon's secret plan-- you remember nixon's secret plan to end the vietnam war? it didn't exist. he just said he had one, and we see the same thing. you guys are so smart. if paul ryan is such a smart guy, he should be able to explain this. >> listen, we do know one thing, that breum has no defense of his-- barack obama has no defense of his record and no plan whatsoever for the future. number two-- >> you don't like it. he's put le

analysts think faces the most pressure? >> reporter: probably president obama foreign policy is something 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 afterno

it as a metaphor for strength. president obama has had the lead in foreign policy and is seen as a strong early. that is traditionally where republicans have strength. i think governor romney sees this as a way of taking away from president obama is a strength -- obama's strength. they think they have a winning hand on the feed, if not because the actual issue is going to change very many votes on the ground. tavis: if you are undecided, what are you undecided about? >> i think there is a subset of a very small group, it has been true for a month. i think you have people that are mostly in the category of the "i like president obama, i wanted him to succeed, the economy has not improved to the extent i hoped it would. i am not totally confident or trusting of the economic management and his ability to make washington work when he ran in 2008. i am not sure that governor romney appreciates my struggles. i am not sure that he understands the average person and what they have to go through. i don't know that he shares my values or cares about me. they are still uncomfortable, but they are not yet

obama has politicized foreign policy, that everything he's done in foreign policy, especially last year, is driven by his re-election strategy. >> the president scored in the debate by accusing romney of saying you are getting very upset because romney had said -- he implied, said we politicalize foreign policy. he said, no, we don't do that, and don't you dare say that. >> i think there's an even greater danger. i have worries about this debate coming up monday, because i think the obama team understands that romney really hasn't clarified his foreign policy positions and they'll turn to president specifically on libya, iran, syria or russia, what would you do differently? if he isn't able to do that, at the end of the debate, obama will look presidential. >> look, president obama has a huge ace up his sleeve. that ace is called george w. bush. the american people think of the bush administration as a lengthy period in which america was -- became a kind of global pariah. we weren't popular around the world. we had these wars that seemed to go on without end and without effect. they beg

also went on to say that he would reverse the obama administration policy on federal funding for abortion taxpayer funding for abortions overseas. he would repeal obama care which also has taxpayer funding for abortion. he would be a prolife president. he is a prolife candidate. he would sign those -- >> chris: why did he say no legislative agenda when there are at least two bills that he would sign? >> they were talking about the economy obviously as the governor goes around the country and talked about his five part plan tore restoring the middle class and getting the middle class growing again, the romney-ryan plan for a stronger middle class. >> chris: he was talking about abortion. he wasn't talking about the economy. he was talking about abortion. >> he has been consistent throughout the campaign. governor romney believes that roe versus wade was wrongly decided and that it should be overturned and that the american people should be allowed to address this very important issue through their elected representatives. he believes there shouldn't be federal funding for abor

? is this a huge scand that exposes a failed obama foreign policy? or is mitt romney just saying it is? tonight, we'll try to give you answers. we'll walk you step by step through the terror that unfolded that day. we'll break down the political maneuvering that followed. but we begin with a series of frightening developments and troubling decisions leading up to the horrific night in benghazi. it's a story you haven't heard. told by a man who tried to prevent what happened. on september 11, 2012. >> did you a close relationship with ambassador stevens? >> i lived and worked with him. >> bret: no one understands more than lieutenant colonel andrew wood. of the full extent of the fiasco that killed stevens. he worked closely with stevens for six months in libya before the violent death. a 24-year u.s. special forces veteran, woods' job was to try to prevent such an attack from occurring. >> it was my first reaction when i heard ambassadorsteins had been killed. i was angry. >> there was a lot of information. >> bret: we begin the story in the winter of 2011. a year before wood arrives in libya. colo

revealed about president obama's foreign policy. >>. >> bret: is it smart diplomacy or gliti >> chief intelligence correspondence katherine harrage asks if you are reluctant to call terrorism by it's name can you ever defeat the terrorists? >> we have no information to suggest it was a preplanned attack. >> we have seen rage and violence directed at american embassies over an awful internet video. >> it was a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired in cairo. >> does the obama administration have a problem calling the threat by its name. >> they have avoided the use of the word terror. >> he was head of the cia against president george w. bush. >> he can't ignore terrorist acts. >> he says the risk of ignoring terrorism is especially high with illegal weapons. he was a part of the world. case in point a mysterious ship picked up in libya five days before ambassador chris stevens information manager officer shawn smith and kie rohn woods and glen daughterty wiere kille in the assault on benghazi. an innish that will report 400 tons of cargo on board some of it humanitarian. it

and government-backed solar panel-maker solyndra as a result of president obama's failed energy policy. why did a123 fail? >> because you can't throw money at an industry and expect it to succeed. the technology has to be there. >> explain that. >> sure. >> they're making electric batteries for electric cars. people say the technology is there. is that not right? >> no, it's not right. this is basically a house of cards. the government funded the electric carmaker fiskar, supposed to buy a123 batteries, also funded by the government, and you can't make the cars economically efficient enough to sell them, and the batteries, unfortunately the technology isn't cheap enough yet to compete with regular cars. >> it's there in a sense that you can create an electric battery. >> sure. >> the problem is that it's not commercially viable. is that the issue? >> that's correct. >> this was an attempt, kim, to try to create essentially a whole new industry, the electric car industry from scratch, whether or not there was a commercial market for it. is that -- i mean, is that basically the problem? it turns ou

for the exam. >> i am glad you brought up foreign policy. >> we did not know that they wanted more security yet. >> we turn on our television screens these days and we see the absolute unraveling of the obama foreign policy. >> martha wallace began by asking about the attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi. it turns out this was not a demonstration that was hijacked by individual clusters of extremists. but it was a planned attack carried out by heavily armed individuals. there was a house hearing this week criticizing the state department for turning down requests for more help in securing the consulate. this used to be your field. if they ask for more security, why did they not get it? that is number one. no. 2, is there a cover-up here or an attempt to a cover-up? >> i have been in the position where i ask for something and did i get it from headquarters. i did during the cold war but the same kind of problem. this is the field headquarters issue that you have. obviously, that request had been granted. it came from the national security office. they should have followed up on the request.

and there is a choice election here between president obama's policies and governor romney's policies and it became clear in the first debate and the second debate and it was clear in the vice presidential debate and this is a big choice election and, the fact is, what we saw was, even if we changes his style, and whatever political tactic the president settles on as being in his best interest for the debate he can't change his record and can't change his policies. >> as you saw, i talked with david axelrod about the tightening polls, romney leads in the national polls and you have closed the gap on a lot of the other polls, where do you think the race is now. >> it is very close and i think the wind is at governor romney's back and clearly momentum and you can see it on the trail, you can see it in the data. but, the country is pretty evenly divided and we felt it would be a close election and david axelrod and i don't degree on much, we couldn't agree on a stopped clock what time it is and i knew we were behind in the polls and, now we're ahead and, the momentum is clearly behind governor romney'

wing media because there's a caricature of obama as an apologize first foreign policy president that the right pushed and believed in for four years and seemed like romney bought in to that with the statement on that initially a few weeks ago and doesn't seem to jive with anybody else thinks about this president on foreign policy and national security. >> well, first of all, the headline of the day so far is that s.e. was despondent. i mean, that says it all. and i think that that moment was important not only for the substance of the libya exchange and the questions about benghazi and how mitt romney has kind of got stuck in something that if he'd left it alone had good sense to leave it alone it would be a more powerful weapon for him pair doxically. what i thought was so fascinating is watch mitt romney, the not nice guy mitt romney move in for what he thought was the kill shot there, the clincher and that he had superior knowledge, he had the president backed in to a corner and so forth and the president just basically said, come on. come on in. and then, counterattacked i t

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 farms. the government is overstating the amount of jobs. >> wait, wait. we're talking about -- we've

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 griping of the women within the administration. that was amazing about mao chairman anita dunn's complaint -- >> sean: by the way, you say that literally. >> no joking here, he's a mao cheerleader, radical left wing, fox news basher, talking to valerie jarrett, the point woman on trying to paint republicans as the most antiwoman institution in america. look, anita dunn and valerie jarrett were whining about how their own bosses were shutting them out, denying them access that men had. 18% disparity in the wage gap? maybe someone out to file a ledbetter lawsuit. >> sean: already equal pay laws on the books. so small little details matter. >> that's right. >> sean: let me ask you about candy crowley who moderated the debate. she int

. >> absolutely. the economy which is driving this election. we cannot settled for president obama's failed policies. >> i think that the surge can stop if the president and other democratic candidates get on message about what the republican plan is concerning these issues. >> and i think that more that romney continues to talk about how the failed economics of obama are hurting women and his plan to help women and families, he will continue to surge and win. >> both candidates have t recogni tha votes are important. the women vote was exponential in 2008. it comes down to knowing that women's votes are important and should be counted. >> and this year, we have seen attention on the women's vote like we have never seen before. how is it though that women who are seven to 15 points for obama, what, a month ago or a month and a half ago are one point for obama in the swing states? what happened? >> tha firt debate, governor romney got to present his argument. he got to talk about his economic plan. didn't make sense for these women. >> why aren't the women looking at the issues -- instead of

tried to hide the truth? is this a huge scandal that exposes a failed obama foreign policy? is mitt romney just saying it is. tonight we'll try to give you answers. we'll walk you step by step through the terror of that day and break down the political maneuvering that has followed. we begin with a series of frightening developments and troubling decisions leading up to that horrific night. it's a story you haven't heard. it's told by a man who tried to prevent what happened on september 11th, 2012. >> did you have a close relationship with the ambassador? >> i lived and worked with him for two months when he came on to the time i left, yeah. >> bret: no one understands more the full extent the fiasco that killed stevens. he worked with him for six months before his violent death. 24-year special forces veteran, woods' job was try to prevent such an attack occurring. >> that was my first reaction that ambassador stevens had been killed. i was angry. >> bret: why have you come forward? >> it was the hub of everything that was going on there. >> bret: we begin our story in the winter

the experience of the obama policies? >> look. i havell large company, and i am looking for a ceo. i have to applicants. i have governor romney that has years of experience in building businesses, making perils and i have president obama that has no business experience and who i going to hire to run a company? the answer is simple, romney. well, the country is like a big company. we need a ceo. do we want to attacks on the west as i said, lots of experience in making payrolls, hiring people from building companies to our do we want someone that has only political experience? the answer, i think, is very simple. we want governor romney to be the next president. lou: davis sigell. thank you so much. we appreciate you being year. more on presidential politics throughout the broadcast as we focus on the political economy and the "a-team" joins us he later. >> to manage matter? what to the means? the vice-presidential debate looks tothe scuffle between california democrats. we will show you the unlikely combatants. and with only three weeks in three days to go into election day, clear politics

. obama's policies and lack of quick action have taken. >> in the debate all. >> you've got to -- one of the people that asked one of the 10 questions here tonight. u.s. a direct question of the president. would you like -- you asked a direct question of the president. were you satisfied with the answer? >> i wanted to know if he would stand on his reputation for me to vote for him. there is still time to decide who you can vote for. both candidates were buried with their presentation. i am still on the fence -- were pretty good with their presentation. i am still on the fence. >> did the president as your question tonight? >> he answered some of them to my satisfaction. there are some things that his administration did that i thought he would accomplish during his tenure as president. >> what was a day like for you? when did you get here? walk us through the process that led to your participation tonight. when you're called upon, were you expecting to be called upon? >> ahead the assumption -- i had the assumption that there would call on me. throughout the day, they have -- we have

of the obama policy and the fact apologizing to islam and worrying about this -- and mentioning, for example, the stupid film six times in the united nations speech is not a strategy that is getting us anywhere in the region. >> i want to inform the audience here, this is our latest pew research center poll. the question is who could do a better job making wise foreign policy decisions and it shows september to october the president has dropped six points in this. the former governor has picked up five points. what's happened in that time has been benghazi. so the answer to the question, if we don't know what happened in a relatively open city, that by the way the united states least helped to keep free, how can we possibly stake what the u.s. does next on what we think is happening in iran with the building of a nuclear weapon? first, candy, when i was the u.n. embassy, i get a daily intelligence assessment but those intelligence assessments change with more information coming in. but when the president found out about what happened in benghazi, the next day he called it an act of terror tw

here in freeport, illinois, but barack obama's policies in going after, being tough on china, has saved the tire plant in this town? >> and even had the nerve to call out barack obama and call him a protectionist when he saved the jobs around freeport and the country and the tire entry. ed, this is not a person who deserves to be president. this is not a person who's going to stand up for working families in this country. and what we have to do is expose mitt romney for what it is and do everything we can to re-elect this president. >> fred, joanne, and bonnie, great to have you with us tonight. thanks for stepping up and speaking to america. >>> still to come on "the ed show," the local and national impact with the mayor of freeport, illinois, and john nichols will be joining me from "the nation" magazine. >>> then the stakes in this election are sky high. freeport, illinois, is a prime example of the economic differences between mitt romney and president obama. i will have a commentary coming up at the end of the program. stay with us. we're right back. [ male announcer ] how do you m

look at the politics of the obama administration's foreign policy. also ahead, the uptick in infections from tainted drugs; free trade and the american dream; and cuba permits travel abroad. but first, the other news of the day. here's hari sreenivasan. >> sreenivasan: u.s. supreme court handed democrats and president obama a victory today. the court refused to block ohion the last three days before election day. changes in state law would have stopped early voting during that veryone except military personnel and people living abroad. democrats argued that amounts to unequal treatment, and a lower federal court agreed. today, the supreme court refused to intervene. more than 56 million americans are going to be getting just a bit more money from social security. it's part of an annual cost-of- living adjustment. the announcement today said monthly payments wl rise by 1.7%, starting in january. that works out to an average bump of roughly $21 a month, or $252 a year. the adjustment is based on the rate of inflation, which has been relatively low in 2012. regulators in europe have asked

that barack obama has been incredibly strong on foreign policy since he took over. you know, there's been one foreign policy win after another. i think that for this -- for that reason alone, so many people in particular really care about foreign policy. this is a foreign policy debate. republicans, including governor romney himself, have been trying to say the president is leading from behind, that he's weak on foreign policy, that killing osama bin laden, you know, was really not that important in the scope of things when you look at libya and syria and other things. i think for that reason alone, it's going to be contentious because the president is going to have to explain very strongly how he has kept this country very, very safe since he took office. >> if he attacks romney and romney gets on the ropes, he might react as he has in the past, very energetically. coming up shortly in about 30 minutes, we expect bill clinton, bruce springsteen stumping for the president. when that does happen, a lot of people will be watching this. the question is here, is the obama campaign now hitting a p

has narrowed since the summer, mr. obama tried to highlight one of his biggest foreign policy accomplishments at a light-hearted charity dinner in new york. >> monday's debate is a little different because monday's topic is foreign policy. spoil spoiler alert: we got bin laden. >> he also poked fun at his opponent. >> some of you remember, after my foreign trip in 2008, i was attacked as a celebrity because i was so popular with our allies overseas. i have to say i'm impressed with how well governor romney has avoided that problem. >> for his part, romney could try again to bash the president for his administration's messy response to the attack in libya last month and link it to what he says is a failed approach to the region. >> this calls into question the president's whole policy in the middle east. look what's happening in syria, in egypt, now in libya. consider the distance between ourselves and israel when the president said he was going to put daylight between us and israel. >> both candidates face a challenge monday night. >> the challenge for president obama is going

, a former policy director to then senator barack obama. thanks for being with us today. appreciate your time, karen. >> thank you. >> now, this, as you were reading in the headlines yesterday, is on the heels of an ap report that the cia had knowledge a day after the attack that militants were involved. you put this all together, and you know, the president has got a lot of credit for how he handled the issue of libya in the last debate, and so as we see more of these reports come out, does that basically negate that as we look forward to monday's debate? >> you know, i'm here to talk about the economy, but i'll just say on this topic, that the idea that the administration was playing politics on an issue of this importance is really, it's a shameful thing that this is being turned into a political issue. i know susan rice personally, the president i've worked, i know what the state department feels about its ambassadors. the idea that anyone would have been playing politics in the days after a tragedy like this is inconceivable to me, absolutely inconceivable. and i think that's where you s

at all, except to sit there and take in the obama administration's new policies, of expanding the new types of things that are considered work, under welfare. >> okay, that has to be the last rd. thanks, guys and thanks to susan for joining . we always apprecie having y here. >> great to be here. >> the big great over big bird, driving up one name and how it could lay you a golden egg. bob... oh, hey alex. just picking up some, brochures, posters copies of my acceptance speech. great! it's always good to have a backup plan, in case i get hit by a meteor. wow, your hair looks great. didn't realize they did photoshop here. hey, good call on those mugs. can't let 'em see what you're drinking. you know, i'm glad we're both running a nice, clean race. no need to get nasty. here's your "honk if you had an affair with taylor" yard sign. looks good.

asked a series of suspicious questions about president obama's policies and whether there was any [ inaudible ]. in a statement live action called suggestions of any operations rumors the had head of the group said -- a spokesperson for live action confirmed the woman was sent as part of a live action project. sus seal richards is the president of planned parenthood joining us on behalf of the obama campaign. cecil, the live action thing seems to be part of a broader effort to discredit and also shame and intimidate woman trying to exercise their reproductive freedoms. we've talked about mitt romney in this campaign and his pivot to the middle and one of the sharpest examples of that, the clearest examples was his position on abortion, which changed overnight last week and it was, you know, there's a lot of haze around tax policy and a lot of confusion there. but here was an issue, single issue, do you support a woman's right to choose and mitt romney was basically up a creek. how much do you think that's going to factor into the minds of women as they go to the voting booth? >> i

's lead on foreign policy. mr. obama has lost 15 percentage points' advantage since september, now leading governor romney by a 47% to 43% margin. and two brand new fox polls in the swing states trending governor romney's way. the governor up 48-45 in florida after trailing the president by five points just last month. and the president's seven-point lead in the september ohio poll has been cut to three points, within the margin of error. joining us now for all the latest campaign developments, former arkansas governor, 2008 republican presidential candidate mike huckabee, also the author of "the new york times" bestseller "a simple government" and host of fox news channel's "huckabee" show. great to have you here. >> thank you, lou. lou: this is a slight lead to be kind and generous, but it is a lead. >> yeah. lou: how significant in your judgment? >> it's a huge turn from what we've seen even a month ago, and there's three things that's going on. one, take all the polls, and they get kind of confusing, but when you get down to it, there's now a trending that is very clearly in romney's f

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

, but from what i hear this is an unraveling of the obama foreign policy as we heard congressman paul ryan allude to with regards to the foreign policy that mr. president has conducted in benghazi, libya? >> right. i think the world view, the ideology covers as an explanation both the failures before september 11th and the administration's storyline after september 11th. the fact is these members of congress, i think, are doing important work in trying to get the facts out. senator lieberman, senator collins as well trying to get hearings scheduled. >> absolutely. i'm losing time with you here, so on that note about congress acting, meantime as we know more critical questions are in fact being asked by members of congress about what the administration did or did not know about the assault. republican congressman peter king, as we've discussed, the chairman of the house homeland security security committee, has sent a letter to the president requesting the release of this information, the intelligence which led to the administration in the first place characterizing the attack as a spontane

the benghazi murders. does this raise legitimate and serious questions about president obama's foreign policy leadership? >> i think for foreign policy that has been, extricating america from two wars, killing osama bin laden. there is month question, what we knew the quality of the intelligence, the coordination of the message, all these things raise legitimate questions. let me set the context. the president slept through the first debate. governor romney won. president was better. so it's one on one. now you've got 90 minutes on o and six segments. foreign policy is not going to be determined in terms of deciding this election. >> gregg: unless they feel the president is really dropped the ball. to that end, i got to remind you he has vowed to bring the killer teors justice, but the key suspects in the case sat down with a reporter and the guy was easy to find. he hasn't been interviewed by authorities. here is what one of those reporters from the "new york times" wrote. i'll quote him. just days after president obama reasserted to bring those responsible to justice, more bukatella spent t

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

? >> if you look at the polls, it seems that president obama has a slight edge when it comes to foreign policy. so some analysts say this is an opportunity for mitt romney to come after him for the way they handled the after math of this attack t shifting explanations that it was simply a reaction to a video and he could go after the perceived strength of president obama on national security policy, based on getting osama bin laden killed. by going after him and saying this is a lack of leadership, he did not provide security for this ambassador, you tried to shift your positions to try to match the narrative. because of the way it suits you in this election campaign. so basically, it is an opening for romney to try to come after him and close that gap. >> yeah, because we all know that foreign affairs, very important, and many americans follow it so closely and we're going to see who looks more presidential. and on this, i want to talk about the president of iran, we know that is a subject on which the united states is deeply committed an focused. you've got mitt romney who's very outspoken.

if will focus this time on foreign policy. wednesday mr. obama plans to pull an all-nighter both in key battleground states to launch a whirlwind tour of six states starting in iowa and he will cast his vote early in chicago on thursday. romney, meanwhile, held his final formal fundraising event last night. he has raised more than $361 million in his latest bid for the white house. >>> president obama has secured the endorsement of ohio's largest newspaper. the cleveland plane dealer says that obama has fumbled the economic recovery but also says he has led the nation back from the brink of depression. ohio in particular has benefit from his bold decision to revive the auto industry. it was gutsy, and it worked. ohioans are making cars in toledo and lordstown. they're back on the job. that's leadership that deserves a chance to finish the job. >>> mitt romney is picking up an endorsement from a paper in another key swing state. that's nevada. the reno gazette journal says, "based on our current fiscal condition, a still weak economy and a congress deeply divided along party lines, our n

and obama care is going to be ineffective. host: foreign policy issues and the economy are your issues. did you disagree with the obama administration decision to go in and get rid of mubarak? caller: yes, i did. most of the christian people agree. they are really disappointed because during the election, [inaudible] the moslem brotherhood are controlling the country. host: that was from columbia, south carolina, from an egyptian background talking about foreign policy issues and the economy. governor brown was on the trail yesterday -- governor romney was on the trail yesterday. [video clip] >> catherine spoke about women and the work force. 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. they have suffered in terms of getting jobs, in terms of falling into poverty. is a presidency that has not helped america's women. as i go across the country and ask women what i can do to help, what they speak about is help me find a good job or a good job for my spouse and help my kid, make sure my children

. president obama has a good foreign policy record to run on. bin laden is dead, our troops are out of iraq, we have a date certain to pull troops out of afghanistan, the president proved himself on foreign policy in the 2008 debate and he's going to have to do it again tomorrow night. i'm joined by michelle goldberg, writer for "newsweek" and also howard fineman, great to have both of you with us tonight. howard, will secretary of state hillary clinton's comments help the president in any way? >> no, they will not. as a matter of fact, having hillary clinton step up and take full responsibility, whatever that precisely means, just makes it look more political. certainly in the eyes of republicans. and will be considered fresh meat for the republicans to go after. you can be sure that mitt romney will go after it as hard as he can, as fast as he can, in part because his people love it. because they can try to make it a question of character and because joe biden gave them an opening last week by saying that the white house and he and the president knew nothing about it, which sounded like e

korea. >> president obama showed how tough he can be on foreign policy during the debate with john mccain four years ago. the president is going to have to prove himself. the republicans are accusing the obama administration of the attack on the consulate in benghazi. there are legitimate questions about the attack, but the republicans claim there's a cover up. tonight secretary of state hillary clinton announced that she's taking full responsibility for the benghazi attack. secretary clinton told nbc news "we did everything we could to keep our people safe, which is my primary responsibility." the attack might be tough for romney to resist tomorrow night. remember, romney told donors at a fundraiser he would look for a crisis to exploit. today his friend robyn gardner rudy giuliani agreed. >> there's a cover up here. they are trying to run out the clock. this administration is so disengaged we need another administration to protect us. >> here's the problem for romney. president obama has a good foreign policy record to run on. bin laden is dead, our troops are out of iraq, we have a

of the broader story of the absolute unraveling of the obama administration's foreign policy. >> david, as you know, the argument is that this central claim of the administration to have dealt a withering blow to al qaeda, including killing osama bin laden, is undermined by an attack like this and further chaos in the middle east. how do you respond? >> i think it's nonsense. obviously, this was a tragic event, and the president did call it an act of terror not just once but several times, and asked for and ordered an investigation to get to the bottom of what happened, why it happened, and to bring those who committed this act of terror to justice. and that's what he's going to do. there's only one candidate here who has tried to exploit it from the beginning, even while the flames were burning in benghazi. mitt romney was sending out political press releases on this. and the whole republican party has followed. and on friday, chairman issa in the house on the republican side released a reef of documents that he asked for that included the names of people on the ground in libya who are cooper

for everybody. that is where barack obama's good policy in the environment and. the bad plus he had still to this day no comprehensive climate change legislation. he spent all this time doing obama and in addition because he wanted to do cap-and-trade which i am not in favor of personally of cap-and-trade. i think the cabin -- carbon tax might be a better policy. that is the main thrust of their climate change legislation that barely passed the house in 2012. was so popular that the the senate did need to take it up. joe manchin, he's a senator from west virginia, very famously took the cap-and-trade bill and tactic to a tree. he is a democrat. he shot it with a rifle. so that pretty much killed the legislation. he literally kill the legislation, so that is why that didn't go on in the senate. also, even though we have now had the ethanol subsidy for karn expire we have not waived the ethanol mandate for fuel so gasoline has to have 15% ethanol blended into. that is a horrible idea, horrible policy. the reason is there are people on the other side of the world right now who don't have foo

, in obama administration policy as well as what mr. romney's saying in his campaign is that energy development tie into economic development in the country, and taunt with focused -- wasn't notioned on even a couple of years ago. >> >> host: speaking about the exports of lng, i wud wondering how you feel about. a loot of companies -- a lot of companies want to keep it here and let cheap natural gas be part of an american industrial renaissance whereas, of course, some people say this is all part of our free trade as tuesday, and we can be exporting whatever we say. >> why that, of course, you know china well. i thought this -- that they were obsessed. it will make us more competitive in the legal economy. it seems to pee we'll up sorting. i don't think -- partly because it's a competitive market, and if it's a mod e share, i don't think. by the way, you had this terrible nuclear disaster, you need more gas. it would be good for us to say, okay, we'd like to be able to import some of our natural gas from you. we never thought five years ago about this, and it shows you how much our

the country advocating for obama's policies as well as raising money and trying to get folks like harry reid and nancy pelosi reelected. when he was governor, over 100,000 jobs were lost. i have worked across party lines. i want to work with republicans and democrats to get this economy going. i think we can find common ground to make sure our tax laws are more competitive and simple. if we do that, i think we will send a message to the world america is open for business again. >> i think what the audience sought is he was asked a question about his senate record and he was talking about being governor. he is running for reelection to the united states senate. he had a fiscal irresponsibility. george came into the united states senate with historic surpluses. we were in great shape. by the time he left, we had massive deficits. he voted to increase the debt by $16,000 every second he was in the senate. he expanded medicare, which was good, but he did not pay for it. he was part of a senate and a house that declared two wars but did not pay for the wars and instead put them on the credit card

vote but... in a down economy, if we have more of obama's economic policies, you might see that job disappear and a lot of economic uncertainty behind that leads people to double think triple think and reconsider where they might want to go initially. by the way, if it is being said by the leader of the republican party, de facto, mitt romney, it will be echoed in small businesses across the nation,ply of especially those that he constantly cites who don't like obama care. who feel there's too much government regulation. that's practically all of them who lean republican. >> eliot: guys, i agree with you. i think from the romney republican perspective this is an effective way to communicate because there is some sort of subrows of concern that many workers have. gee, what's bad for the business is something i better not support. having said that from the first amendment perspective i'm rigid on the first amendment issues, i'm hesitant to limit the speech that people participate in, even if it is an employer or a
