i need an encyclopedia to see which words are appropriate and which aren't. >> no, you don't. >> explain to me why retard is inappropriate. >> what if i said imbecile, creton or moron. any of those words, as you know, has not become in the last decade or so a word that is synonymously offensive to people with disability. and is used in an offensive way about them by people. that is a difference. >> do you call people with mental disabilities retards, because i don't. i think that's a nasty thing to do. >> a lot of people do, to be offensive. yes. >> no, they don't. they absolutely do not. no one would call a down syndrome child a retard. it is synonymous with loser. you know perfectly well -- >> that's complete nonsense. wait a minute. wait a minute. that's complete nonsense. that's the whole point. the whole point. if you talked to people who worked with down syndrome children or whatever, they would all tell you -- >> you keep saying this is offensive and you're just wasting time because we only have ten more seconds on this. >> says who? >> okay, it's offensive and you're going to com

professor reich, paul ryan is known for being an encyclopedia of numbers but can he effectively countereadlines like this one today, "gm to add 2,000 jobs in michigan"? if this race comes down to ohio and the auto rescue plays a major role there, that's a tough headline to counter for mr. ryan, isn't it? >> it certainly is. and what people in ohio and in the midwest generally know is the auto bailouts were critically important. ryan and romney said no to the auto bailouts and the president and the vice president said yes in the face of a lot of criticism and they have been proven right. paul ryan is an ideologue. he has a record and joe biden can pick on that record. joe biden can say to paul ryan, that $716 billion that you and romney keep on saying we are robbing from medicare, we are not robbing from medicare. we're actually extending the life of medicare. you, ryan, you use that 7$716 billion in your budget plan and yet you put it in there based upon you actually turning medicare into a voucher program. ryan has got to respond. ryan is a detail person. i think if biden charges very

done well exporting to the world under president obama and also i think president obama showed an encyclopediaic command of foreign policy and he is the commander in chief and notice how he mentioned the veterans from the get-go. he understands if you're commander in chief you have to stand with those on the front line for our democracy. >> he absolutely did. >> and when they come home, take good care of them. >> governor, what do you make of the notion that perhaps the president looked more like a challenger tonight and he had to be aggressive because his back was against the wall. >> when somebody attacks you, you have to respond and be there with the facts and i think president obama over and over again showed governor romney what the facts are. i really don't think governor romney is in the same league when it comes to foreign policy. our country is much better today an that four years ago when it comes to foreign policy. we have a respect of nations all across the world. we have used that respect to build sanctions against iran and get out of iraq and move forward in the world, and i think
