political strategist, jim innocenzi. what was funny about what i read. >> we were just laughing at tucker. i blame those guys for that weather delay in the first inning and that is why the nationals lost. so that is what we were laughing at. >> got you i thought it was something about the two political candidates going back and forth. good to see both of you. >> we would never snicker at you. >> not at me. >> pete certificate a different story. >> -- peter is a different story. >> peter. i think it is kind of weird if you look at the covers lately, they have nursing mothers of 3-year-olds and so they are trying to -- >> they are pulling out the big guns. >> exactly. but i will tell you the interesting thing about this whole question of gay marriage and gay and lesbian rights, i think republicans are making just an unbelievable mistake here. it may help them a little bit

in the short run or play evenly in this election cycle but if you look at the change in this, you had 62% of the folks against gay marriage, 30% for just 5 years ago now that has flipped around, the american people now almost majority of them support it, if you look at interacial marriage, 1958, gallup started polling, only 4% of americans at that time, favoured interacial marriage. you know, the train is leaving the station on this stuff. young people think what are you talking about, so, what i think is happening here, is that barack obama is taking a tough stand, he is getting hit for it, certainly amongst republican base. but basically, he is doing the right thing and you know it is politically in the long run a terrific move for the democrats and a terrible move for folks like mitt romney who even switches, i mean he even said

he would allow adoption, and two days later after liberty baptist he comes back oh, no, i am not even for that. >> can i ask you a question, what were you drinking at the baseball game yesterday? because you -- >> diet coke. >> are you serious? are you kidding me? you support this rant for two and a half minutes how this is great for the president and bad for republicans, jim where do you think the issue is going the train has left the station >> it has? >> you think -- >> how come -- >> rights for gay and lesbians in this country are going to go down? you will have to jump all over me. >> he is passionate about it jim. >> i am. >> every state that they had it on the ballot it has gone down even in california. >> correct. >> so why is it that this helps the president. you know what he did, he raised $21 million off this position.

that helps the president. everybody knows he did it for political expediency. if he really believed in the issue so passionately as passionately as you did peter he would have been pushing in for the last 3.5 years he hasn't. he is just doing it for political expediency like a lot of politicians do. i think the next net of this whole thing doesn't really matter. if the president really cared why doesn't, hopefully maybe same sex couples who are unemployed will find jobs but that ain't going to happen either. >> let's talk about the back and forth politics of it. we are seeing these new ads being rolled out by the administration, attacking romney's record at bane capital. what is the truth here and how far does this go? because he is attacking romney on the very thing that romney says he can make better in this country. the economy. >> the truth is what you saw in the washington post. the post even said the video that the president did, was a lie. there was -- they extrapolated

stuff. i think the issue is a valid issue, but what happens in this situation, and i think this happens not only with the president but a lot of campaigns they tend to stretch the issue to the point, to make the point and the president's got a problem because, he is not seen as a credible messenger because he hasn't done the good things he said he did. so the bottom line is, and the romney people need to continue to talk about it, in general, romney was a success in creating jobs as a business person. frankly you don't want a president who has done a bad job you want someone who has been successful. you will see that more and more. >> peter it is effective when you see someone deeply emotionally moved, about losing their job, health insurance, part of their pension. the race for united states senate in 1994, between ted kennedy and mitt romney. >> that's right >> was very very close. that was the low point of ted kennedy's senate race.

he came back he won that race by 17 points when folks learned about what bane capital was all about. bane capital is about putting money in their pockets, and making money. fine. but it is not about creating jobs. that is very clear. the ad that we are talking about here, is very specific, about a kansas city steel company. 750 jobs lost, shut down folks losing pensions and $12 million going in the pockets of the bane capital executives. now, that ad, is not the -- >> but the point is he wasn't even in charge at bane capital at the time. >> it was during the 1990s he was part of bane. >> the washington post -- >> look he set this stuff in motion. he was there during the 90s. he is going to take responsibility for this as he has to take responsibility for the state of massachusetts which went from 34th in job

growth to 47th under his leadership. >> so is the president going to take responsibility for the jobs -- >> 4.2 million jobs created under his leadership. he won't -- i tell you what he won't do, he will not take credit for the 700, 800,000 jobs lost in the first two months that came out of bush but he has said, we need to move faster we have to do better. there is no question about it. but jim i think the point of this, to the question is, bane capital -- >> what was the question. >> bane capital is a legitimate issue in the campaign. jobs is a big issue. >> of course. >> you and i talked about this. i am not sure anything else will matter. economy and jobs is where this is going. we could talk about osama bin laden, we could talk about gay marriage, talk about all these other -- >> we have heard both candidates say that. we will have much more time to talk about this next week gentlemen. peter feen, jim innocenzi.

also your family's medical history. some times they may change a little bit depending upon those factors. >> also as we age. other things come into play, osteoporosis, bone health, menopause. >> absolutely. believe it or not there are still vaccines recommended for adults >> i did not know that. >> yes >> all these things you can learn during women's health week. thanks for soming in. >> thank you. >> i will try to get my own family members to listen to your good advice today. dr. angela marshall, with comprehensive women's health. time now 8:21 a.m., star witness on the stand in the roger clemens purgery trial, find out what he told the jury coming up here on fox 5 morning news. later this hour a book lovers dream, holly morris live with a preview of the gaithersburg book festival we will check with her as we continue live look right now back in a moment [ female announcer ] fresh flavor gets an exciting twist
