rolls. on july 12th president obama quietly ended the work requirement. gutting welfare reform. >> once again, the president did not do that. what he's doing is giving the states more flexibility to come up with alternative programs that would increase the work forc if the states want a waiver from requirements, they'll have to prove their alternatives get get 20% more people back to work. >> with the republican national convention just a week away, "the new york times" is taking a look at mitt romney's to do list in the next seven days. he wants to keep up the fund-raising drum. he will have to generate excitement among the base for the convention. he's got to avoid making any big gaffes that would overshadow the news cycle and work on his convention speech. he's gotta make it one that's inspiring and can connect with voters. in a separate article, the times talks about the production team behind the scene where is they're working on making romney appear more warm and more approachable. they're also going to bring up his religion for the first time hoping his being a man of faith will override the fact he's a

trying to win national office, republicans probably -- medicare is down around 18 or 19th issue we want to talk about. we want to talk about it every day since november. thanks for nothing. >> stephanie: your other tweet, the g.o.p. convention bump, it is going to be a long, angry september and october for fox news. >> i think fox they've been touting ryan as this rock star and he's the new ronald reagan and he's this poster boy literally, they can't stop talking about his physique. you watch fox news, they probably got this 9-point bump in the polls. actually, they got nothing. it is supposed to be the v.p. pick and then the convention and then romney is just going to ride the wave to november. that's the sort of the right wing media view of the world. and i think they're in for a rude awakening around september 2nd or 3rd we'll see. >> stephanie: the other thing you talk about cnn can be equally as infuriating. cnn admits ryan pick didn't

change polling numbers in wisconsin. they change it to tossup. >> based on anecdotal evidence, john king explained it. first post-ryan cnn poll in wisconsin. they had wisconsin as lean obama and then the poll confirmed it is obama. but then they switch it over to tossup. but cnn has more problems. just today with this -- this rape comment over the weekend. literally the only two commentators to -- work for cnn. it is just -- their decision to hire these fringe, fringe people. fundamentalists defenders of anything republican. even karl rove is saying akin's got some explaining to do. that's the natural reaction. but the cnn commentators are out there defending him.

>> stephanie: that's a tough job in a booker's day. would you like to defend -- no, not really. by the way as you know, president running a campaign of anger and hatred. according to mitt romney. as you read hank williams jr. says obama hates america and is a muslim. it is incredible, isn't it? none of his -- romney surrogates have said outrageous things, right? >> oh, i mean hank williams, between him and ted nugent, i mean it is just off the scales. luckily, i don't think either is taken seriously. they're routinely on fox news. they're routinely tapped as some sort of important people to talk about pop culture and how america feels. you know, they turn the microphone on for five seconds and it is just craziness. but it is obama who is supposedly running this negative campaign. >> stephanie: as you're so good at pointing out your piece this week is following the lead of the romney camp and bill

press spent time about how outlandishly meaning the campaign has become. it is amazing. you can go through however many of the official romney campaign spokespeople or romney surrogates that have said unbelievably outlandish things about the president right? >> not to mention obama's first four years in office with the birtherism. he's a -- he's a marxist. he hates america. he hates wall street. he's driving to drive up unemployment. it has been a case study in sort of swamp hatred for obama. >> stephanie: but the other point you make is the press soft pedaled, spent muff of the last four years blaming obama for the lack of bipartisan. he failed to convince committed obstructionists to stop obstructing the white house's agenda. here we have fresh evidence that paul ryan was for just about everything the president was for but when george bush was for it.

it is like -- that's exactly what it is. if obama's for it, they're against it. >> yeah and again so obama is blamed for lack of bipartisan and the point of the piece i wrote on friday was "the washington post" wrote this piece sort of very -- so much negativity in this race. the problem is whoever wins, they won't be able to govern because this campaign has been so nasty. well, in 2008, the press credited obama with running a mostly uplifting campaign. and what was his reward? january of 2009? sort of this radical obstructionism, the tea party mobs, you know. birther -- dissent into birtherism. what was the award for obama running a hope and change campaign? there was none. why are pundits concerned whoever win that nasty race won't be able to govern when the entire republican agenda was not to let obama govern after his hope and change campaign. there is this real double standard. >> stephanie: let's dive into the right-wing world and get

some more, shall we?

man. all of the polling says whether people like his policies or not they like the guy. he seems like a decent fella. but they try to portray him as this -- now they're trying to say democrats are a party that's trying to kill medicare, trying to take away your entitlement. anyone who pays any attention to any of this realizes no. the party is one of the anchors now is trying to save medicare. why they're picking these uphill unwinnable fights. >> stephanie: i love the banner behind paul ryan. protect and strengthen medicare. >> not really. >> replacing it with a coupon. >> stephanie: all right. eric boehlert remains in the sidecar. we continue right-wing world right after this. >> i'm not a doctor but i think i'm dying of laughter. >> announcer: it's "the stephanie miller show."

resulted -- in a major recession that president bush inherited in 2001? >> policies of democrats bob obama goes after president bush's tax cuts all the time. how can he demonize them when he himself extended them. >> stephanie: it is that clinton/gore recession we've heard so much about. >> i was living in new jersey -- i still am. right before the election, i drove by a gas station 99 cents, the summer of 2000. that was the clinton/gore recession that george bush inherited. reminds me of rush limbaugh last year when he was talking about obama inherited a -- something like a 5% unemployment from bush. >> stephanie: right. >> the hand-offs are tricky because they get completely rewritten. bush inherited the disastrous clinton/gore recession and obama was giving this golden opportunity, economic opportunity by bush and he

completely blew it. >> stephanie: can you explain once for all because you keep hearing that repeated, the unemployment number when we all know we're losing 700,000 jobs a month when barack obama took over. explain that, the unemployment number they keep throwing out. >> it was off a cliff. when the unemployment he got was like 7% or 8%. they're claiming i think the 5% number is the whole year of 2008. i think that's what they're pointing to or maybe even the entire eight-year term. but the only part that matters was september october november. the last four or five months of the bush presidency, we lost two and a half million jobs. we were on the cliff. no doubt about it. losing 700,000 800,000 jobs a year. but if you listen to the spin now, you know, obama blew it because bush handed off this -- >> stephanie: here is a number for you -- we have added four

and a half million jobs in the last 29 months. >> that's with no help from the republican congress. >> stephanie: i hadn't heard about this. tony perkins at the family research council on the shooting -- >> at the family research council. >> i think as we witnessed this past week at the family research council, clearly linked to that same atmosphere of hostility that is created by the public policies, an administration, religious freedom and groups like -- as i mentioned before you came on, the southern poverty law center that recklessly throws around labels giving people like this gunman who came into our building a license to take innocent lives. >> stephanie: wow. >> angry black man again. it is obama's fault that there was a shooting at the council. >> the shooting was crazy.

insane and condemnable and my gosh. if you have a political difference with somebody -- >> gun violence is not the answer. >> luckily there was no taking of innocent life. thank god no one was killed. there was an injury there. pointing to a war -- pointing to this sort of made up war on religion and trying to link obama's public policy on abortion and linking that to yet another apparently disturbed person with a gun. i mean come on. that's kind of where -- >> stephanie: meanwhile we're way off the reservation when there's been all of these incidents of violence fueled by right wing rhetoric by people who have books from far right wing -- >> right right. every time that happens the last thing you can do is create any cause. but i think tony perkins probably should have stopped with this guilt association and blaming public policy for someone completely condemnable

the race focused on the candidates biographies and the issues which we know is a good thing. of course, there's no guarantee this is going to continue to hold through election day because it is a tight race and very high profile but so far so good and that is a good thing. starting today 112 delegates will get together to try to work out the official g.o.p. platform that will guide the party for the next four years. it is about a 50 or 60 page document. delegates have to get it done before the republican national convention starts on monday. adopting the platform will be one of the first orders of business once everybody gets to tampa. they've got work cut out for them. they have to marry mitt romney's ideas with paul ryan's ideas which don't always match and they have to try to work in the activists in the party who have been slow to come around to romney as their official nominee of choice. we're back with more steph after the break. stay with us.

theory the intense partisanship would aggravate johnson and drive he in goldwater's words nuts. that's a joke. goldwater said it wasn't the only reason he picked my father. he was a great speaker. since goldwater had no choice, it had electoral rationale. >> there is nobody that goldwater could have picked that they would have won the election. i know everyone is going to be defensive of their own father but this is -- this goes beyond partisanship. as i said to howard kurtz last weekend, i'm sorry my dad was eminently qualified the nurenberg trials. chairman of the rnc. awes -- he liked to shoot stuff from the air too. >> stephanie: he refers to the fact that my father interrogated guerin. i think sarah palin may not have been done as well.
