9th, about 89% of obama's ads carried an anti-romney message. and 94% of romney's ads criticized president obama. that's, again, according to c-mag. those are the numbers. the obama campaign, however, is spinning a different narrative. where the word "negative" doesn't really exist. an obama campaign spokesman said they wanted to have a, quote, high brow debate about whether americans really care about. keeping them honest, all weekend long, they instead focused on attacking romney's ties to bain and his personal finances. >> he's taken advantage of every single conceivable attack shelter and loophole. >> mr. romney attested to the sec multiple times that he was the chairman, ceo and president of bain capital. >> that company also was investing in companies that "the washington post" called pioneers of outsourcing. >> if you're telling the sec you're in charge but you're telling the american people you bear no responsibility, one of those things is not true. >> stop whining. if you want to claim bain capital as your calling card to the white hous

in a series of interviews on friday, romney accused of obama campaign of stooping to new lows. in an interview that aired today on cbs this morning, president obama was asked about the negative ads his campaign was running. here's what he said. >> first of all, we've done a whole slew of positive ads that talked exactly about how we need to change our education system, how we need to change our tax code, how we need to rebuild america. how we need to promote american energy. so those just don't get attention in the news. >> the president said they've run a whole slew of ads, positive ads. we wanted to -- we wanted to check and see if maybe we'd overlooked a slew of ads either candidate was running. keeping them honest. we checked with c-mag, the consultants who track ad spending for us. they told us last week the obama campaign aired negative ads more than 19,000 times and positive ads fewer than 150 times. less than 1% of their ads were positive. according to other reports, since the general campaign began, as many as 3 in 4 of president obama's campaign ads have been negative. 3 in

governor romney criticizes obama because obama was asked at one point do you think america is an exceptional nation? obama said, well, i think we are an exceptional nation but in the same sense as the british probably think that they are british exceptionalism and other countries think that they are exceptional as well. so romney has mocked that as saying we are not part equally balanced and we're first among nations. what is obama's frame? a lot of scholars have struggled to define a "obama doctrine." he's very much a pragmatist and one that his difficult to pigeo hole him. what i believe is the best description for obama and frame we can look at through his policies is he believes in u.s. leadership and certainly in the promotion of u.s. american values and principles but in recognizing that we do live in a multipolar world. a world that has problems that are global in nature, that america while we're the prominent military and prominent economic power, other nations have those powers that they can apply to international affairs. we need to operate in the world not as we might wish it is,

obama. this campaign is an effort to paint muslims -- and by implication, barack obama who they still believe muslim. somehow with suspicious. that's why huma, that's why rashad hussein, a wonderful young man, an attorney who's our special envoy to the organization of islamic countries, is being portrayed individually. >> even george w. bush's aspersions are cast on him for mebody to an islamic organization as if that is somehow in itself questionable. at a time when this government is trying to get more arab speakers to work in security agencies. it just seems like this goes against the best interest of the security of the united states. >> sure it does. look, i was in washington during that period. i know the bush administration made a real effort to do it. but these guys did not attack it then. they're attacking it now. because of barack obama. now it's become a political wedge issue. that's why we had the mosque issue in 2010. that's why we had the birther movement. that's why we've got the loyalty oath and this stuff going on now. it's sad. it's dangerous. but it's also very hurtful to a

but they also endorse bill clinton. >> bob: blue collar men -- obama is at an all-time low among blue collar men in polls. democratic presidential candidates never broke 40% with the group. you have a phenomenon of a household voting in the same way. obama needs 40%. his base has grown but his numbers are falling amongst single women. a close election. delane is a household income now. women look at that. you hear people, anxiety of people for their children. and the debt their children are going to inherit. they worry for them. they want to change because they don't think the last -- >> kimberly: game changer for politics. i was thinking about all the time, the young little honeys on the jury that are like wide-eyeded and innocent don't know anything about the stress of what happens later with the kids and bills and mortgages and all of that. >> dana: maintaining a relationship. >> kimberly: absolutely. i kick them off the jury. you want to keep people married, homeowners in neighborhoods that really care and see where their money is going and want to protect the neighborhood. >> bob
