swing states in the middle of a dismal jobs report. most americans stop looking for work. >> this is not the kind of news that american people hoped for and deserve. i am here to tell you things are better. >> when our opoints say it is in decline they are dead wrong. we have the best workers in the world and entrepreneurs in the world. fox reports how the laste job numbers highlight what is at stake in the presidential election. >> and a new rest in the murder of u.s. border patrol. fast and furious. and in minutes what he learned about one of his suspected killers . >> also he was sentenced to die for refusing to renounce his

christian faith . tonight, after sitting in a prison inside of iran, this pastor tasting great team. we begin with a fall out over disappointing jobs numbers. on the presidential campaign trail. mitt romney and president obama in states where voters will decide the outcome of the election. no slowing down on their fight who can put americans back to work. the problem for millions of americans. only 93,000 jobs create not enough to fuel a real recovery . 368,000 people left the work force and gave up looking for work . governor romney campaigning in the swing state of virginia saying that's not what hard-working americans deserve. he placed the blame on president obama for lack of leadership.

>> this president has not fulfilled his promises and went to the democratic convention and had a lot of wonderful things to say but he didn't say what he would do to help people out of unemployment or poor back to the middle class. he doesn't have a plan or any idea and we have to make sure he doesn't have any more day white house ever january. -- after january. >> president obama in florida making a stop in tampa and orlando and president firing back at republican criticism that america has fallen into deline and accusing governor mitt romney of same talking pointos jobs. >> ed henry is traveling with the president in florida and we'll go to carl cameron where mr. obama-- is located.

>> what he is doing. he is taking the pledge of allegiance and find ways in which to criticize president obama and that is a reference with the removal of god and restoration of it after controversy in charlotte. here is a sham line. sampling. >> one under god. i will not take god out of our platform. i will not take god off our coins and i will not take god out of the my heart. we are a nation that is bestowed by god. >> that was romney in virginia beach. a heavy military area and lots was military familis and he was

particularly tough on president obama saying he would cut a trillion out of the defense and let the fiscal cliff with sequestitration and the country go off of it and allowing military cuts and costing job in virginia. which is a battle ground state. >> karl, now that the conventions are over. should we expect big policy speeches? >> there will be a couple here and there. the candidates are bracing for the debate season. that is four out of five in october. three presidential and one vice-presidential. we saw the policy in the convention. president obama wants it a choice between his policy mitt romney's policiless . mr. romney said no, it is a referundum because the president's record gives no hope to the american people of the change that the president promised four years ago. harris. >> karl, 59 dayings here we go.

president obama in the swing state of the florida today. the president acknowledging the trouble and making his case as the man to fix them if voters will give him four more year white house. >> i am asking you not to rally around but a set of goals for our country in manufacturing and education and energy and national security. reducing the deficit. i have a plan that will lead o new jobs and more opportunity and rebuild the economy on a found adings and we can keep making the kinds of progress that is needed over the next four years which is the reason i am running for a second term. because i am confident we can get where we can go? team fox coverage with edhenry in florida. 29 electoral votes and latino

vote. >> that's why the president one of his stops along the way was a cuban sandwich shop and he realizes they are important not just in florida but out west. democrats think they have demographics on their side and that can tip the balance in key battle grounds. he realizes that it is going to be a referundum on his record and dismal jobs is hanging over the president as he's out on the campaign trail. if you heard he was fired up with big crowds in florida. he admitted there is a lot more work to do. >> we have made progress. but ... but we know we haven't made enough. we have got more work to do. no one is satisfied with the status quo. there are too many folks out there who need a job and too many folks with homes under water. we have a lot of work to do.

>> now despite the jobs report, the obama campaign feels good about the democratic national convention. they got 700,000 donations. and they think they will get a bounce or momentum out of that convention. >> on the campaign trail they will get help from a name this week. >> someone we saw with a prominent name. bill clinton, the former president . they have had a rocky relationship . they are coming back together after a tough 2008 primary between obama and mrs. clinton. bill clinton will be in florida . president obama is making a joke about it in saying that look, he's somebody who can make the case for the democrats and the president said he saw a tweet that bill clinton should be in charge secretary of explaining stuff. the word was not stuff it was

another word but he was cleaning it up for the audience. >> i am sure they appreciated that. ed henry thank you. and a fox news weather alert. strong storms rolling through the northeast this even bringing flooding and damaging winds and we are watching it happen in new york city. tornado watches remain in affect. right here in queens . breezy point . this tornado spotted earlier and we just learned within the past hour the second twister touched down in the burrough in brooklyn. this is queens and this is new video in our news room. firefighters canvassed the beach front neighborhood and we have not heard them this week. sevore weather warning in carolina and far reaching storm

only two weeks away from the general assembly as they head to new york and prime minister and does president obama. iran uses the time before the general assembly to provide an act of good will and gain a bit of currency in the international community. if they think the release of the pastor, it seems little in terms of negotiating power when it comes to a nuclear program . and charges of blasphemy. she burned pages of the qu'ran. the judge granted bail for this girl yesterday. and the case drawing international attention to pakistan strict blasemy laws and used to prosecute christian
