celebrities from john bon jovi to bill clinton for several new york city stops. mitt romney has private events in seattle and portland. with the unemployment rate now 8.2%, should the president try to change his strategy? will mitt romney seize an opportunity? i want to bring in the editor in chief of the national journal's hot line and slate reporter, dave weigel. good morning, guys. >> morning. >> morning. >> i was reading all these articles after the economic numbers came out over the weekend and pretty much all of them came to the conclusion that it was a horrible, terrible, pretty bad week for the president last week. so, what does he do now? >> i think we're seeing a lot of calls for president obama to come out with a new, forward looking plan. so far, this election has been about president obama appealing to small segments of base. hispanic, women voters. instead of offering a grand man. now that it looks like this election will be more of a

referendum on the economy than a choice between president obama and mitt romney, there's this push to get president obama looking forward and talking about bigger ideas an a plan for the second term, which is something we haven't quite seen yet. >> we're kind of in this second term of the election now that mitt romney is officially the nominee and you can see both sides adjusting, but talking points are pretty clear for both campaigns. listen yesterday and this morning, let's start with the democrats. >> congress has got to get on the ball. the president's put a lot of common sense proposals out there. >> he's asked the congress for a series of steps to get construction workers back to work rebuilding roads and bridges. to put teacher back in the classrooms. to help homeowners renegotiate, refinance their homes under these low interest rates. >> did blaming congress obviously on the democratic side, americans are already fed up with congress, we know that pr the polls. does it help the president to

blame them? >> if they extend the argument, they can get to a place where it helps them. the president did propose late last night, an american jobs act, mostly forgotten. we assumed wouldn't pass congress, and it did include sort of demand side spending. i think $25 billion to hire public sector workers. if they had ten minutes to tell explain to every voter how that kind of spending would keep public sector employee work, then i think they might convince some people. but i think it's proven tough to put that in 15 seconds when all the romney campaign needs to do is point at a big, flashing number. either a debt clock or at the unemployment rate. >> so do you put something out there and then use that as a talking point for your 15 seconds? we have a good plan. republicans blocking it in congress. >> that's what president obama's tried to do for a while and it stands at odds with what congress has done. the senate democrats haven't

come out with a budget for a long time. they don't want to put something out there that republicans can hit. one thing that's really struck me about the difference between congressional democrats and the white house is that in talking about how congress is broken, the white house is really angering some of their allies on capitol hill who want them to say republicans in congress aren't cooperating. aren't working together with democrats. by calling them off congress, you can drive congress' approve ratings down, which is a good thing for the white house. >> republican talking points. they had one message over the last day or two. here are several examples. sfwl this is a hostile environment for job creation in our economy. >> what we really have here is a deficit in leadership and this president came into office without any prior experience running anything. >> when we talk about the record of the president, this is just a

fact. unemployment has gone up since he's been in office. >> reid, does mitt romney get away with just hitting the president, hitting the president, having all of his surrogates hitting the president and not proposing a real plan to say here's what i'm going to do and here's why it's better? >> well, of course, mitt romney wants the make this campaign a referendum on president obama and his handling of the economy. even as president obama's approval rating has improved, the approval rating on the economy is meiered in the low 40s. mitt romney's going to do well. if the race becomes something else, a choice between the two candidates, then romney's chances fade a little bit. but this is really the message that romney has the drive over the next couple of months. of course, there is to be an alternative. that's the way voters think they look for that viable alternative. right now, it's all about setting up that referendum on president obama. >> dave, is that the pivot for

the president and his campaign, to make not a referendum about what's happening the last three and a half years or where the unemployment rate is right now, but really to put the focus on i'm the guy that can o do the better job going forward? >> that's what they're searching around to find. some elements of that, i'm not sure. pointing out that massachusetts ranking and job creation was low when mitt romney was governor leads to a conversation about how the unemployment rate in massachusetts was 4.7% when he left. he governed during an okay period of economic growth. flimsy in some ways. no, i think the pivot is turning out to be difficult because they're not talking for a series of reasons about what was done in the first few years. they passed an enormous stimulus package and people who covered elements of the stimulus can foint ways that kept people working. they seem to be in a defensive crouch about what was achieved

in the first three years of the presidency. especially the first two years when they controlled most of congress and i think we're girding for later this month, we'll find out if the health care bill survive, which means they have something to run on and argue about. something to tell voters it's going to make the health care system more equivalent or they have, they're going to have to explain why they spent a year passing a bill that ended up being shredded. >> let me bring in ben white and ben, i lost track of how many democrats have come on this program and said what we just heard is this president has a lot of akoccomplishments that h can be out there touting and he's not doing it. what's going on there? >> well, he could talk more about the stimulus and particularly states like ohio and the auto bailout where that may have helped. michigan, obviously, that was a big factor. >> let mitt romney get away with the facts saying i actually was the person who really helped brang back the auto industry?

>> if you start touting your accomplish ms, it doesn't ring true to people who don't feel confident. it's a very tough thing for him to do and that's why you see the obama campaign running all these ads against mitt romney saying his record in massachusetts was bad. people aren't going to dig down to the details. the whole point is to say this guy's an unacceptable alternative. if you turn to this guy, it's going to get a whole lot worse. >> and everything's got an idea about how the president should be running his campaign because that's what we do. chris matthews was so fired up this morning on "morning joe." i want to play just a little clip of that. >> he should be running on what he's done and say i'm going to go -- how about saying this. my way is the highway. my way is the highway. we're going to build this country the way eisenhower did in the '50s. say it. you've got an auto industry.

he has to be big and noisy and loud like me i guess instead of talking about bane is below him, the mess. who cares about massachusetts 20 years ago? >> do you agree with chris on that? >> it's not beneath him. he needs to define mitt romney and say his ideas on the economy are not going to help us. but the president needs to come out with a bold plan on the economy, on jobs. the stimulus is not that popular these days. who cares. interest rates are historic lows. we can basically borrow money at zero interest rates. take that money, spends it roads, bridges. you can do any number of things and start creatinging jobs and get the economy moving. he needs a plan and people need to feel he understands their pain and is going to change it. he's not doing that. >> we look at the playing field now and the polls, which were pace basically a dead heat.

you wrote this great article, if you look at the major battleground states, it's kind of a different story in places like ohio, where sectors of man fak fakihturing are coming back and these states, their unemployment rate is lower now than the national average and expected to get even lower. >> sort of the rate of improvement that's better. nevada was hit hard. still higher than the national average. ohio's the key example of this. unemployment rate on election day will probably be a percentage point lower than the national average and people on the ground see that and feel better about it. it's true in ohio, virginia, colorado. the number of key states, the only one where it's not true is florida, where the unemployment rate is higher. that's why i think people think romney is going to take florida. but there are state where is the picture is better on the state level than the national level. >> do you think people know what the unemployment rate is in their state, let alone in the

country? do you think people were sitting around on saturday, who aren't really highly involved this this or taking their kids to their soccer games or doing their laundry and really, it's more about how they feel than the actually numbers? >> that's true and i think the national numbers matter in that they see it on the evening news. what matters is how they feel about their own job prospects and security. if they feel they have long-term job security, that's what matters. that's what the numbers tell us is about how people feel on ground and if they're feeling better, that's going to lead them to support the economy. >> and reid, over all though, we've been hearing reports all weekend long that after those jobs numbers, the folks in boston, the romney campaign, were feeling good there's a sense now. that we can't or we are going to win this thing. is there a risk though of being

too giddy? could they overplay their hand? you don't want to look like you're rooting for the economy to go south. >> you don't want to look like you're rooting for the economy to go south. but the thing that was clear on friday, this was not going to be a repeat of the 1996 election. when bill clinton was able to ride the recovery economy and bob dole never had a chance. mitt romney's not going to be the same way. he's got a chance now. he's not going to be the bob dole falling off a stage a the end of a campaign that never got any traction. what romney's team senses is that they have a chance to win something. jonathan martin had a great piece last week and members on capitol hill, republicans on capitol hill who were buying into this campaign and believe they have a chance to knock off a sitting democratic president. >> david, is the obama campaign getting very nervous? because what they say officially is this is what we expected. at this point in the campaign that this was going to be a dead heat an a tough campaign.

>> they can say that, but we know what they expected the economy to look like in january 2009, february 2009. republicans never let them forget. the charts they made. projecting what unemployment might be. so now, this is not the economy they wanted the run with. talking about the national unemployment rate, i don't see a scenario where it dips much before the election. if the economy keeps chugging along, people are going to come back and that rate's going to stay pretty high. their hope real is on not targeting the swing states. virginia's another one. wisconsin's another one. iowa's another one where unemployment has been slipping. and some of the voters, i'm thinking northern virginia, thinking of the kind of milwaukee suburbs. some of those areas that switch ed from bush to obama last time. if they can keep some of those people in and then turn out african-american hispanic voters, that's been the plan all

along, but what was clear is that we're, this looks a bit more like 1980 where you're not going to get booming economic news before the election. >> so, if you don't do that, i'm curious. do you think, you know, considering our previous conversation, that if a poll's taken this week, that there will be a swing in those swing states toward mitt romney? >> there will probably be some reduction in president obama's numbers. you don't get a bad jobs report with all of us covering without people noticing and him taking a hit. i don't know whether you'll see it on the swing level, probably not, but in the national head to head number, i can't imagine obama's not going to take a hit from that jobs report because it was bad. >> ben white, great to have you in. he fought traffic to get in here today. thank you. reid, dave, thanks, guys. and today, the president will be in new york as we said fund raising with bon jovi, pkz and a host of other celebrities and he'll be back for a dinner with anna winter in two weeks.

>> i'm so lucky in my work that i'm able to meet some of the most incredible women in the world. women like sarah jessica parker and michelle obama. >> but the republican national committee released this ad slamming obama's dinner with celebrities, showing unemployment numbers rolling past the actual campaign video. the point is is ad's trying to get across is that the president is more concerned about his job than creating new ones. this country was built by working people.

we are less than 44 hours away from the contest that could have implications for the presidential election and other budget conscious states. it is the most expensive campaign the government ever in

wisconsin, fueled large by -- the spending, nearly $64 million. scott walker and -- spent their final weekend of campaigning trying to seal the deal. >> that's what's at stake. whether or not we're going to we moved the state forward, million dollars worth of savings. property tax relief. >> scott walker's reforms are not working for the middle class. we're delivering a message of hope and come tuesday, we can have some leadership that will be for the people of wisconsin. >> ed schultz has been following this story from the very beginning and i know, ed, you've been there all weekend. good morning. thanks for being here. give me your impressions of what you saw, who you talked to over the weekend. >> well, intensity here in wisconsin is not a problem. everybody knows about it. they've been inundated with the information on both sides.

the voter turnout here is is going to be the big key. it's been a very intense weekend here in wisconsin. i've been to burlington, milwaukee and here in madison, but it's going to come down to this. it's going to come down to milwaukee county. all you have to do is look at the numbers. i know there's been a lot of polling out there. both sides are saying it's very close, but milwaukee county, if you look at 2010, only 37% of the democrats came out and voted. if barrett can get 50% or a little higher of those folks to come out, it is going to be hard for scott walker to keep the governor's chair here in this state. it's about the county, the african-american communities, latino communities because the rest of the state is pretty much set. everybody knows where you're going to win and how, but it's turnout in milwaukee county and ra seen area, which is going to be very important. that's where they get out to vote intensity took place this

weekend. in fact, it was so intense, chris, in ashland, wisconsin, some get out to vote groups got out together and knocked on 7,000 dollars in ashland. >> yeah, that's interesting because when i'm readinging the analysis of the polls, what i'm seeing is that the mayor is actually winning the independent vote. but the reason he's trailing is because they're saying there isn't as much enthusiasm, there isn't as much intensity on the democratic side. you're not feeling that. >> no. no. that's not the case at all. there is a tremendous amount of confidence on the ground by the democrats. they know that if they can get their people out that they can win this thing. the question is where has walker gotten better in wisconsin? how is he going to increase his vote total from 2010? it was a down year for the democrats. go as russ feingold, tom

barrett. well, they're back and the democrats are energized in this state and they've had to put up with the siege of money coming in. there's no question the republicans own the air waves when it comes to the commercials and signage, but the democrats feel they have exhausted a great effort to get their people out and they're very confident. the last few weeks, the polls have gotten very, very close with the margin. to the point where both parties, we are told, have already contacted lawyers in case there is a recount and here in wisconsin, it has to be one-half of 1% of vote to trigger a recall by the constitution of wisconsin. so it's going to go down to the wire. it's about turnout. >> do you think bill clinton helped mayor barrett? >> there is no question. there's no question that bill clinton coming to milwaukee was exactly where he had to go. he had to go talk to those folks in milwaukee county and cut right to the chase on exactly what has happened in this state. lot of misinformation about the budget.

this state is not running a surplus. it is not running a surplus. there's been a will the of g gimmickry going on as far as the budget is concerned about putting it on the backs of future generations, but this state is in the red under scott walker and also, i ran into a lot of teachers this weekend. the american federation of teachers has put a lot of effort into this get out to vote effort. teachers, everywhere you go, who are upset and concerned about the billion dollars that has been cut from the state budget. they're concerned about the prugt in the classroom. of course, scott walker calls those reforms. those are cuts is what they are and property taxes are still going up in some portions of the state. to mick up for these cuts. so it's who you want to believe. but what we're finding on the ground undoubtedly is a lot of intensity. >> thanks to you and don't forget, ed will have special coverage of the wisconsin recall

northrop grumman. virginia republican governor is the latest surrogate to wonder off script in this presidential race. >> nearly a trillion dollars in stimulus and that was one time spending did it help us in the short run with health care and education spending? did it balance the budget? sure. does it help in the long-term to really cut the unemployment rate? i'd say no. >> but saying nice thing about president obama, democrats wasted no chance jumping on the opportunity. >> did you say the republican governor, head of the republican governor's association say yep, that money we got from the frl government under president obama helped save thousands and thousands of jobs? >> in fact, democrats were probably relieved after clinton had nice things to say about

romney. i'm joined now by -- senior adviser to the santorum campaign. good morning. john, are more of these surrogates going off message or does it just seem like that? >> that's the problem with surrogates. a lot of time, they don't know what they're talking about. in this case, it was a governor who should no better, but the problem they have is that they're constantly doing clean up with surrogates. in the santorum campaign, we didn't concentrate on surrogates. i really think that the way the press works today, surrogates are a disadvantage, not an advantage for most campaigns. >> steve, do you agree? how much damage does this do to romney's strategy? >> well it certainly is a distraction for today. a lot of us will be on the air talking about it. but i think one of the reasons surrogates are effective and one of the reasons campaigns like to use them is because they have their own credibility and when they do, they're not as willing

to say things they think are political if they're not true. you saw that with bill clinton over the weekend when he talked about how bain capital is not something to be ashamed of. i think a lot of democrats agree with that. >> let me stop you there because i want to play that from bill clinton and of course, very quickly, the romney campaign responded to it. so let's hear from bill clinton. >> there's no question, won the office and you know, basically performing the essential functions of the office. governor and had a sterling business career crosses the qualification threshold. >> a sterling business career, steve, honestly, you didn't sort of go like that when you -- >> cringe? i did. bill clinton is in a different business now and it's the business that depends upon

raising a lot of money for the clinton global initiative from people who run venture capital funds. the former president is going to say what a former president wants to say because they're not constrained by anything. john raises a great point though which is surrogates are bound to say things and run off the reservation that will require campaigns to come in and challenge them and clean it up. it is a good reason not to use surrogates, but there are many advantages to using them. >> john, immediately as i said mitt romney came back and he said i was happy to see president clinton called my record superb. on other hand, i thought it was interesting, paul begala said the romney campaign is making a strategic mistake by talking about this because when the former president sort of drops the hammer on romney economics in the fall, it's going to hurt all the more. do you think he has a point? >> the one clip you played was the one where he said something positive about mitt romney and

it let the romney people move that to a positive, rather than what i'm sure will have been seen as a negative interview. i think the key here is can you prevent the surrogates on your own side from making so many mistakes. the romney people now are very close to trump and the fear would be they own everything trump. >> how do you get a bill clinton or donald trump -- >> you don't. no one's going to walk in and say to the former president of the united states, oh, by the way, here's the talking points. keep to they will. frankly, you can say that all you want to trump, but we know better. that's why i think the campaigns have to be very, very careful that they limit surrogates to just experts in certain areas and they don't let them outside that box. >> so say you let a donald trump or bill clinton raise money for you, but you don't let him take the microphone. >> i think that would be great in theory, be pu it's not possible. it's going to get stuck in bill

clinton's face, in donald trump's face, and they're going to talk. you want to encourage them to stick to the three points the campaign is trying to make about the opponent, the race or about what you're, the candidate they support is going to do for the country if they're elected and you hope and pray that they're able to do that. >> steve, john, such a fascinating conversation. thanks, guys. >> thank you. stocks tried to bounce back this morning on the heels of the market's worst month in two years. mandy drury is here with what's moving your money. ugly friday. small investors were rattled by the facebook flop. is it going to be a rough summer? >> it is possible, chris. obviously, time will tell, but we have been here before. in fact, if you remember, the last two summers, stocks were pushed sharply lower by fears that the u.s. economy double dipping and now, after friday's job data, we're seeing the same concerns resurface and this time, it's sort of like a triple

whammy. you've got the u.s. economy slowing down, european problems. all of those things, obviously that really sharpens the debate. we've got loads of speaker, including ben bernanke himself and the debate is whether they should be doing more. to the end of this month and the economy's slowing down even before the end of the year. so watch out on what they have to say this week. >> we've talked a lot about these kind of little auction thing, they're not auctions, they're actually donate to either romney or obama. you can win lunch or dinner with them and maybe meet donald trump, sarah jessica power, but the ultimate powerlines is the billionaire warren buffett. that is actually an option. >> it is and really thinking a lot about that guy who won the last two private lunches with him. the hedge fund manager who was hired by buffett.

"the wall street journal" could allow new technology for children under 13 to have accounts with parental supervision. ri richard, this could take millions of kids out of the shadows. >> that's right. millions of preteens are already on facebook. about 7.5 million. they banned them, but many lie to join any way. of 10-year-olds, for instance, 19% have an account. 11-year-olds, you can take a

look at the must remembnumbers. 12 yaerls, over a half. some start as young as 8 years old says a study done by first monday and parents are helping. up to three quarters of them, as you can see with 10 and 12-year-olds, which maybe why facebook could be developing technology that could help parents manage, says "the wall street journal." now, it could start with a parent's facebook account. if a kid under 13 wants an account, mom would link and supervise it. when a kid wants to make friends, get apps or games, the parents would have to check off. about half say it's because of education and communication with family. caveat, only if it's supervised as you see the the number there. that doesn't satisfy a child advocates like james star. he told "the wall street journal," going after preteens
