presidents combined. >> not at all true. at the first presidential debate this year mitt romney played pin the deficit on the democrat and he totally got away with it. even though it's not true. the red bar is the deficit president obama inherited. the deficit will be over $200 billion smaller than it was last year when the deficit was already smaller than the one the president inherited. barack obama turns out to be a reducer of the deficit. but he gets zero credit for this in the press or turns out with voters. joining us is the man who was supposed to stop problems like that from happening. senior adviser robert gibbs. thank you for being here tonight. >> thank you for having me e. >> am i blaming you unfairly? >> i think that was quite an intro. i do think you make a series of great points. we forget that before barack obama ever walked into the oval office, president bush had spent a trillion dollars that year. they want to blame -- it's funny. you listen to them talk about it and you forget that that was all under their watch. and so many of the policies that we're trying to unwind r

was the perception of the president as weak and as romney as presidential. that is the key difference. in 1980, people did not want to re-elect jimmy carter, but they were not prepared to go to reagan because they were afraid of him as a right-wing nut. they said he is not a guy who will blow up the world and the election was over. now obama is not where carter was. he is much stronger. but ron is not where reagan was. but he is still on the edge. -- but romney is not where reagan was. but he is still on the edge. if he is on the threshold of being strong and authoritative, then you can accept him in these circumstances. >> did you like the table or the town meeting? >> i think it works better for the voters. i like the town meeting where they can walk and talk to the crowd. i could not stand for 90 minutes. >> i am struck with this complete -- using the split screen, what happens on the moment is reaction to what the other guy is saying. it is really pretty hard. you really have to work at it. obviously, romney and ryan worked it out in little better. but paul ryan had this sickly sweet and s

in new england presidential candidate history. howard dean from maine. romney has been a taxpayer in new hampshire nearly a decade so i'm interested in hearing him explain why it's a tie in the polls. >> we're going to ask him. three days until the debate, the question is what does governor romney have to do to breakaway? joining us, former new hampshire governor sununu john sununu. >> tell carl, romney will win by two or three points. >> he wants to know why romney is in a tight race in your home state. >> look, because the democrats are pumping money in here. the president's been up here a few times, biden's been here. it's always a tight race in new hampshire in the presidential campaign. obama won last time. romo will win this time by two or three points. >> let's move to the issues of libya. documents show embassador stevens sent repeated cable to washington about security fears, even on september 1-11, the day he and three others were killed. why did the white house wait so long? what impact will the new documents have in the final debate? >> they're going to impact the final resul

presidential debate two weeks ago which was him trying to explain how mitt romney can't be trusted on the deficit by trying to do the math for everyone live on tv. saying something that sounded in translation like you have a large number with a trillion in it and some smaller trillions that when you add them up you subtract and get a number that's positive. do you follow me? president obama during that first debate was trying to do the math over and over and over again as a way of explaining that what mr. romney is proposing would be a recipe for massive deficits. really there is no way you can do the things mr. romney says he's going to do without running up massive deficits. instead of making up memorable arguments that made him the more likable and effective of the two debaters president obama instead tried to prove that thing about the math. president obama tried to explain what's so wrong with thinking that mitt romney is a guy who should be taken seriously on the deficit. he was trying to explain that without a white board, sound track, without a way to make it into a story p

got in a few jabs there at mitt romney. the presidential hopeful didn't hold back himself. >> here is a look at some of the highlights of mitt romney's speech. >> i was hoping the president would bring joe biden along this evening because he will laugh at anything. don't be surprised if the president mentions this evening the monthly jobs report where there was a slight improvement in the numbers. he knows how to cease the moment this president and has a compelling new campaign slogan. you are better off now than you were four weeks ago. 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 strong man and mercifully attack him. big bird didn't even see it coming. by the way in the spirit of sesame street the president's remarks are brought to you by the letter o and the number 16 trillion. i recognize the press has their job to do i have my job to do. my job is to layout a positive vision for the future of the country. their job is to make sure no

won. while 39% chose romney. >>> in the countdown to the u.s. presidential election, republican candidate mitt romney said he will designate china as a currency manipulator on his first day in office. following his statement, it seems the chinese administration may have taken some action on its currency. the yuan rose to a new high against the dollar in shanghai on wednesday. the yuan hit the highest level of 6.2525 against the dollar and it also set a record closing high of 6.2545. the currency's closing level has gone up about 2% in the past three months. but further gains in the yuan would hurt exporters, and could risk further slowdown in the nation's economy. sources say more chinese companies are halting their overseas investments amid such risks. >>> the body of cambodia's noda asked them to concentrate on this year's bucket. it was designed to achieve an annual growth of about 2%. these cell types have the potential to grow into any type of body issue. another focus will be on bringing about a swift recovery from the earthquake of march last year. deregulation and promot

♪ lou: good evening, everybody. with 18 days until the presidential election, governor romney is maintaining his slight lead in the national polls over president obama. the republican nominee has moved above 50% in key polls, maintaining that level with just over two weeks from election day. and that is historically a strong indicator of victory in noveer. the polls turned positive for governor romney quickly after the first debate and have strengthened since. that after the candidates had been in a virtual tie nationally for months with a slight edge to the president. will those strengthening national polls with polls narrowing in battleground states as well and the governor's favorability ratings also moving that combined make it fair to ask whether it's too early to can ask the question, as the third debate is looming this coming monday, has america already decided? let's take a look at where these candidates and their campaigns stand tonight. the gallup national survey of likelyers shows governor romney with a six-point lead over president obama. this poll was tied at 48%

of the obama and romney presidential campaigns. we talk with john kneuer who supports mr. romney's tech agenda and ed paisley who supports president obama's. but neither is an official campaign spokesman. "the communicators" tonight at 8 eastern here on c-span2. and our campaign coverage continues live at 7 eastern on c-span with the indiana u.s. senate debate. republican state treasurer richard murdoch goes against democratic candidate congressman joe donnelly. the cook political report rates this race a toss-up. >> this isn't about governor bush, it's not about me. it is about you. and i want to come back to something i said before. if you want somebody who believes that we were better off eight years ago than we are now and that we ought to go back to the kind of policies we had back then, emphasizing tax cuts mainly for the wealthy, here is your man. if you want somebody who will fight for you and who will fight to have middle class tax cuts, then i am your man. i want to be. now, i doubt anybody here makes more than $330,000 a year. i won't ask you, but if you do, you're in the top 1%. >>

not in the labor force, unsustainable trend. turning back to the presidential race, our next guest says romney has clear momentum going to the debate tomorrow evening but as president obama who still has the advantage on likability. fox news contributor. let's start with that debate. what happened in the first? some sort of an anomaly defining imagination, weren't those two impressions of these two men and their abilities? >> think it was certain extent. a president confident in himself hdid not take the time to prepare. do not have much of a game plan going into the debate and it showed, he thought he could win it. but he didn't have to study very hard. he goes in and he bombs. lou: i know that is the view from lofty heights you are well acquainted with. but i have to say i don't see the basis for the viewpoint. i've not been able to read a single thing written by this president that would suggest in any way its minority over governor romney. i could not find it anywhere. secondly i cannot find any basis to claim this president has ever been a very good debater. leaving people all struck with his

every monday for a couple of hours. >> mitt romney during the first presidential debate talking about how as governor of massachusetts he held leakly meetings with leaders of the legislature. romney was often absent from the state. according to that analysis, during romney's four years as governor, he spent nearly a year, almost all or part, 417 days out of the state. the times reports 70% of that time was spent on personal or political trips unrelated to his job as governor. joining me now, phil johnston, the chairman of the massachusetts democratic party. while romney served as governor, he's now head of his own public relations firm. thanks for being with us. >> good to be here. >> you followed that article. then governor romney took lengthy vacations and weekend get aways it says, many of them at his vacation home in neighboring new hampshire. you told the times in this article you thought governor romney gave up his job. >> he was really an absentee landlord during the four years that he was here. by the way, he had a sumptuous and it remains a very sumptuous, over the top vacati

is arguing with the current president and challenging him and fact checking in, if romney can be presidential tomorrow night he is in good shape. >>chris: how do you think he should play libya? >> stipulate that a terrible thing has happened, it is a set back, and stipulate the obama administration has not h it well. more about what he would do over the next four years and rather than picking on every flaw. it is hard to resist if you are someone hike me or mitt romney who sees all the flaws and wants to prosecute the case against the obama administration but the key for tomorrow night is to be last of a prosecutor and more the next president. >>chris: if you advised president obama, what would you say he should do tomorrow night? >> well, i thought this is on target. they do not think they are going back to libya with the power that conservative would like given how big this issue has been. for president obama it has to be that he has a great depth of knowledge about foreign policy having been the president and dealt with foreign leaders if he can demonstrate that romney doesn't know this fi

that the mitt romney who is showing up in these presidential debates is quite a different mitt romney than the man who was sharing stages all over this country in the past year with michelle bachmann, rick perry herman ca. >> joy: a nciane and these folks denying women health scare such as contraception and it was brought out sharply last night. his immigration his shadegy tax cutting plan, and double down in $2 million in defense spending i think last night president obama helped democrats and independent independents that the man before us is fundamentally different than the man who ran for president last year, and leaving no clarity what his core convictions are or what his action would be as president. you have to take into account the serious commitments he made as a candidate to veto obama-care veto the dream act likely take this country into another war in the middle east. there are lots of positions he has taken that he cannot blithely walk away from. the president laid out clearly what he has done, what he will do, and what the clear differences are between him and governor romne

[ cheering and applause ] >> reporter: many tell me the president redeemed himself. >> total knock out? yes, indeed. >> phenomenal. it was good to see him finally calling out mitt romney and a lot of the republicans on their issues >> it's a mystery to me how people can be undecided. i decided a long time ago. i'm just looking for, you know, the guy to stand up and get fired up and get the people excited about voting for him. >> i don't think he did that bad the first time around. i think the expectation was that he would be extremely good. i think he's such a good orator. but it was kind of surprising how well romney did on that one. i think on this one he did an exceptional job and came out really calling him on stuff and definitely not pulling punches. >>> to watch the dmabt its entirety, go -- the debate in its entirety, go to our website, kron4.com. >>> warmer weather is on the way. today we saw temperatures warmer

on the show today. > > thank you. just ahead, president obama and gop presidential contender mitt romney make their way into chart talk. stick around. time now for some chart talk, and alan knuckman of one stop option joins us. alan, you are a guy who always tells us what's really going on - and this is unbelievable, but traders actually are trading the election. so explain to me how you buy shares of obama, you buy shares of romney, and what the charts are saying. > > first i want to emphasize the price prediction model here - and that's what these markets do, they are a price discovery mechanism. they take all of the information and they distill it into a fair equilibrium price based on the buying and selling information. so, looking at the election, there are some overseas unregulated markets where you can put money down on a candidate, and it's interesting how you can apply the same techniques we use for our markets to something like this that is simply politics. > > let's take a closer look at that. let's pretend like mr. romney, mr. obama are an actual technical chart. so, is there resi

romney square off in their second presidential debate. >> we go live to long island for a live report. >>> good morning. temperatures cooler this morning 58° downtown across the bay, also 58, after san jose light winds mechanism high pressure build to the north and east of us is what will bring a veryay, 70s coast, low to mi 90s inland. >>> 6:14. president obama and mitt romney squared off again in their second presidential debate at times the discussion turned contentious. t.j. winick joins us live from new york with a look at some of the night's heated moments. >> reporter: good morning. many on both sides call this a great debate. the stakes could not have been higher that w obvious from e get-go. 45 seco into his first answer the president went after his opponent. >> the president: governor romney said let detroit go bankrupt. >> reporter: romney push pushed back. >> you took general motors, chrysler bankrupt when you say i wanted to take the auto industry bankrupt you did. >> reporter: that's wait was much of the night. >> have you looked at your pension? mr. president have you

for president obama, and it remains on him to reverse the first debate with romney. the vice presidential debate doesn't seem to have impacted anything and if romney they recognize the president is coming out very hard of the tonight is an opportunity for romney to show he can connect with people. it is a very big deal for mitt romney. he has been criticized through two presidential campaigns for the inability to being able to connect with voters and this gives an opportunity to relate with voters and he has been working on his body language and gestures. >>shepard: and tonight, a game change with the moderator. >>carl: there was a memorandum that said the moderator would be not inserting follow-up questions. but they have changed the format in time and the moderator's role in a new agreement. there will be a question from the audience, two minutes from one candidate and to minutes from the other and she will be allowed to ask a question of her own choosing, a follow-up or shift direction and there will be another two-minute discussion. the idea is to allow a more flowing discussion between the

people will see that mitt romney is presidential and he is handling this in a way that they can have confidence with and they have a lack of confidence in the obama administration and the state department. >> eric: it's the last debate. this is it, folks. could this change people's minds? >> it could change minds and reinforce what some people believe. here's what i think is important. the president has consistently in every poll, including the fox news poll that came out last week, has the advantage over mitt romney in foreign policy. that's been true the entire campaign. i haven't seen a single poll where rom romney has had the advantage. i suspect that will be confirmed and reinforced on the final debate. mitt romney has been more down than he has been. he has been more unfavorable than favorable. -- lap limited partner. >> eric: he went way up after the first -- the first debate! >> that's true. he had a bump after the first debate. that's true. but if you take the entire campaign, have you seen mitt romney behind more often than not, net unfavorable in almost every poll. harder

: pennsylvania was leaning to the president, but romney is gaining ground. today, vice presidential nominee paul ryan made one of his first stops in the state, a campaign source saying they're considering spending money on television ads. later in the battleground state of ohio, ryan kept his remarks focused on big themes. his attacks centered on the president's policies. >> this is not just about jobs. it's not just about debt or the economy. it is about the meaning of america. >> reporter: but now with just less than three weeks to go, the biggest game changer of them all could be what happens right here behind me on this stage monday night, the third and final debate on foreign policy. and it's widely expected to be another monumental clash between the candidates. rebecca. >> jarvis: jan crawford, thank you. with foreign policy the debate's focus, the september 11 terrorist attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi, libya, is expected to come up again. as sharyl attkisson reports, some are asking why american military help from outside libya never came. >> reporter: cbs news has been told that
