we want to take you live to denver, colorado. president obama there at campaign stop. it's his seven visit to the state since announcing re-election and his tenth since becoming president. the president focusing on women voters. he also just said the thoughts and prayers of the nation are with the victims in aurora following the theater shooting there. let's listen. >> and the reason it's intense is because the choice we face in november could not be bigger. it's not just the choice between two candidates or two parties. more than any election in recent memory, this is a choice between two fundamentally different path f s for our country's future.

the direction that you choose, the direction you choose when you walk into the voting booth three months from now will have a direct impact not just on your lives but on the lives of your children and the lives of your grand children. that's true for everybody, but it's especially true for the women in in country. from working moms to college students to seniors. when it comes to the economy it's bad that our opponents want to take us back to the last policies of the past decade, the same policies that got us in this mess in the first place. the same policy that saw jobs go
12:13 pm
overseas and saw people's income and wages go down as everything from the coast to health care and college was going up. that's bad enough. when it comes to a woman's right to make her own health care choices, they want to take us back to the policies more suited to the 1950s than the 21st century. colorado, you got to make sure it does not happen. the decisions that affects a woman's health, they're not up to politicians. they're not up to insurance companies. they're up to you.

i actually like the name cause i do care. that's why we fought so hard to make it happen. to affordable care act helps make sure you don't have to worry about going broke because one of your loved ones get sick. insurance companies can no longer place lifetime limits your hon your care. they can no longer drop your coverage when you need it most. they can no longer discriminate against children with preexisting conditions and they'll no longer be able to deny you coverage on a preexisting condition like breast cancer or cervical cancer or charge you moreor care because you're a woman. those days are over.

the poll that was released that reflects wariness towards mitt romney's favorability. the number you need to look at is 49. that's his unfavorable rating today. we should mention it's four points worse than may and the worst such showing for a presidential hopeful since back in 1984. john king is with us from washington. he's been watching very closely. we're getting close to the day when romney selects his running mate or you think. there's thought it might happen tomorrow, either friday, ahead of his bus tour he's launching on saturday. what is your best guess? >> you just made an important note. he would be competing against the olympics. mrs. romney is not back from the

12:22 pm
closely? >> i think you want to watch people out of midwest. governor romney sees the midwestern states. he has to win ohio. it's almost impossible to see him winning the presidency without winning ohio. look closely at rob portman. he's served in the house and the bush administration and as the budget director. he's high on the short list. governor tim pawlenty was a candidate. he was a rival earlier in the campaign. when he dropped out he quickly endorsed. he has midwest appeal. he's very good at the small towns. very good in small towns unlike governor romney very comfortable in an irish pub mixing it up with blue collar voters. you also hear about paul ryan. he's from wisconsin. he's a house member. never won a statewide election but a lot of conservatives say that would be a bold pick. those three at the top of the
12:23 pm
short list. maybe even pennsylvania critical to the governor's math. >> you were just watching the president appealing to women voters. the obama campaign likes to talk about the fact that he's strong with women and romney is not so strong with women. what's the odds that we could see a female candidate? a sarah palin coming in 2012. >> wn governor romney ran for governor of massachusetts, he picked a female running mate. he knows the data. he studies the data. he knows about the gender gap. they would love to have a woman on the short list. ko she's no longer in contention. the question is who. if you look around, susana martinez, if she were in her second term, you know she would

be on the short list. thai s they say they have looked at female candidates. >> it's so exciting. i love win this announcement comes. it's just one more thing to watch for in this hotly contested race. we thank you as always for joining us. as president obama and mitt romney bicker over the middle class taxes, women voters, in one country there's a proposal to tax the rich 75%. you heard me. richard quest has thoughts on this. he's going to join me live, next. there are a lot of warning lights and sounds vying for your attention. so we invented a warning you can feel. introducing the all-new cadillac xts. available with a patented safety alert seat.

12:40 pm
condition. now his mom, sharon, you know her, just quit nbc's america's got talent in support of her son. she told the new york post, i just can'tfake. it's discrim iohandled. think of the good it could have done to show other people that have this condition that your life is not over. joey jackson is on the case for us. joey, what do you make of all of this? >> we have to be very careful because we don't want to get boycotted. there are federal laws that protect against medical conditions and disabilities. you have the americans with d disability act. it's very difficult in they pursue a lawsuit on those claims. the employee has to be fit to do the task that the employer wants them to do. in this particular instance if there's multiple sclerosis or an
12:41 pm
ailment, it would get difficult. >> you make an important point. we should mention that nbc did release a statement. we hold medical information in strict confidence and cannot comment specifically about jack. as a company that cares about the health and safety of everyone on our shows especially one like stars earn stripes that require dangerous water stunts, strenuous activity, we require them to undergo medical vetting to ensure they could safely participate. we didn't ask him to participate in the kompb ticompetition, we e to offer him alternative roles, both of which he declined. seems pretty thorough. >> that's a problem because if you're not fit to do those chores or those issues or whatever stunts they're doing, then it's problematic to the employer and the problem that the ada, american with disabilities act says if what you cannot do, although they
12:42 pm
have to provide reasonable accommodation, unduly interferes with the employer and if you provide reasonable alternative assignments then they is a no, what can you do. >> even though as they point out, he received an e-mail that he was being fired two days before the show was to be launched. what do you make of that? >> that's a problem. that goes more to how it was handled. did they address it properly and did they do it in the right y. i'd argue no. >> bottom line. osbourne's don't have case? >> bottom line, if they pursued one it would be difficult just based on the nature of the show and what's required and they
12:43 pm
have an obligation to keep the employee safe as well. >> it's fun to talk about though. >> there's no question about it. i'm sure he'll be suited for one and life will go on. >> we thank you for that. i want to get back to our breaking news. new york police investigators are once again in the lower manhattan where etan patz disappeared back in may of 1979. he was the first six years old. hee he was the first missing child to appear on a milk carton. susan, what prompted this new search? >> reporter: well, there's been some new information although police sources won't tell us exactly what that new information is. you might recall that whatever it was that brought them here might have been prompted by the fact they have under arrest now a man by the name of pedro
