>> it's about barack obama. hillary is going to be in asia. >> that would be amazing. >> i would be thrilled if hillary runs in 2016. we are in 2012 now. bottom line bill clinton is going to be there for president barack obama. it is an extraordinary benefit to president obama to have bill clinton. >> i agree with you it's great for the party because he brings a lot of energy, a lot of americans still like him. admire his economic record. >> and trust his judgement as well. >> trust his judgment. that's a whole other segment. >> you were talking to carl about swing voters. bill clinton reaches them. barack obama arguably has had a real challenge reaching them. >> that's a great point by the way. let me go back to a point you made about bill clinton being able to make the case against mitt romney and making that comparison. bill clinton is on the record, even recently praising mitt romney, saying he had a sterling business record at bain capital. and he has also been on the record criticizing a lot of barack obam

i could not imagine those words coming out of the mouth of barack obama. of course is that on the national stage, but i think it's important so it was just not, i'm his recognizing what history was all about it but is also talking about policy. he talks about jane byrne, the incumbent, right, who is being challenged in 19 '88 three. who does all these horrible things, policy wise. all trying to prevent jane byrne from institutionalizing racism in this great city. in your face. but he also went to white neighborhoods. he talked about what his vision would be. he talked about sort of, you, what he planned to do. he went to latino communities who were supportive of his campaign. and it was because of the coalition now. the coalition, you know, it was almost like the rainbow coalition. you know, lots of black but a few other colors. but he was able to come up with a black mostly coalition, and brown, latino population. a few lakefront of white liberals putting over 50% mark. and most of the white voters in that city bolted by not staying with the democratic pa

barack obama is an embarrassment to the democratic party.is trying to save his party and the coal mine workers in ohio that were lining up for mitt romney. he is trying to get the vote back by putting bill clinton out there. >> sean: let me ask you a question and i want you to answer it and stop your liberal spin because i know you. is there anything worse than planning to play the race card on somebody? is there anything worse than doing that? >> i do not think, first of all. there is not and i don't think barack obama planned to play the race card. i think he was angry at that time. the facts are and bill clinton told me this two weeks ago. a cheer choice here. go back to failed policies of george w. bush. you don't see george w. bush. >> sean: we aren't talking with george w. bush. >> you don't see george w. bush in the romney ad. the reason why bill clinton is appearing in a barack obama ad is the two men share a common vision for america of shared prosperity where everybody moves forward and pays their fair share as opposed to. >> sean:

the barack obama brand is broken. and that is an indictment on barack obama.ow i think there's a lot of work to be done in washington. i think we do need people of their word to go do what they said they were going to do. but at the top of the ticket is a man who sold us a bill of goods, and delivered on very little. and that's going to be his biggest problem. >> schieffer: but isn't this just kind of a-- couldn't you say the same thing? because what happens is, people come, they make these promises, both sides do it, and then nothing happens. i mean, you have a congress that has done nothing. >> well, well, i take-- i'll take issue with that. the house has over 30 jobs bills and about 200 pieces of legislation waiting for harry reid and the democrat senate to take it up. take a little bit of issue with that. >> schieffer: but the democrats have some bills-- >> in your commentary you said you wanted to see a leader who could sit down with the other side and get things done. look what mitt romney did in massachusetts. that's exactly what he did. republican gove

we have barack obama to thank. [laughter] >> it was barack obama who said, you didn't build it.nslation -- it doesn't belong to you. well, no small difference amonginous our party approximate the vast differences between the radical left-wing business, dax-raising party of nancy pelosi and harry reid and versus an energized america who knows, we can do better. for four years, we have given a chaps to a man with very limited experience in governing, no experience in business whatsoever, and since taking office, mostly interested in campaigning, blaming and aiming excuses at his predecessor, the republicans and people in business. or as republicans like to call them -- employers. we have stagnated into an economy that has taken all that hope right down the slope and has left millions withoutions, force -- without jobs, forced out of their homes, herded into dependency on a government that promises us candy, but gives us cavities. barack obama seems intent on enrolling more people on food stamps. mitt romney's focus is going to be on generating more jobs that will make food stamps

hay entre los demócratas y republicanos y como dijo bush escucharemos más críticas al presidente barack al rato. >> volveremos en breve con más de la convención republicana. >> noticias univisión presenta, el candidato republicano mitt romney, luego de una ardua campaña, mitt romney acepta hoy, y lo hará en tampa florida, el ex gobernador y empresario cumple hoy su sueño, acá comienza la recta final en vivo, ahora con ustedes jorge ramos. >> hola ¿qué tal?, buenas noches gracias por estar con nosotros en este programa especial del acto con que finaliza la convención republicana, ahora viene mitt romney que pronuncia su discurso de aceptación republicano a la presidencia, ahora después de 14 meses lo logra, en noviembre se enfrentara en las urnas al presidente barack obama, será en poco más de 9 semanas, la recta será reñida, se acortan las diferencias entre mitt romney y el presidente barack obama, un sondeo publicado este miércoles publicó que esto está muy cercano, mitt romney tiene un 44% y el presidente barack obama un 42% han pasado decenas de oradores, artistas invitados, anoche e

but he did make it socially acceptable to laugh at barack obama. and one of barack obama's weaknesses is because of his pretension. >> you have to have a certain level of respect. >> you can laugh at anybody. >> you can do that -- you can do that, alec, but not at a presidential convention when you want to show that mitt romney is up to that, you don't go over -- you know what, let's play -- let's play that little clip and then we'll continue this conversation. watch this. >> what do you want me to tell romney? i can't tell him to do that. i can't do that to himself. you're absolutely crazy. you're getting as bad as biden. >> you know, is he doing stand-up at a presidential convention? it was awkward. we'll continue this conversation, you and i will continue it. >> maybe over some wine or beer or a couple of beers. piers morgan tonight is next. piers? >> thanks, wolf, anderson. good evening and welcome to the cnn grill which is absolutely buzzing tonight. john king and gloria borger. mitt romney and how did he do? the candidate talking about his fa

as for the dems, barack obama is now the incumbent. his convention by definition won't have the charge, the electricity, that it had back when he was new and it probably won't even have the emotion of his debut when he gave the keynote in 2004, when he talked about his background, how his story could have only happened in this country. the effects led me to start that weekend show with this. chris: a star is born. his name is african. having come so far, can barack obama stop short of the white house? well, actually, on live tv that week i said you just heard from the first african-american president back in 2004. but how does he re-excite the note that he hit when he first came on the scene? >> that's such a good question, although i'm still kind of stuck on the whole idea of you crying in 1998 in new orleans. chris: i think i'm well known to have strong emotions about politics. >> i think that's something that they are clearly grappling with. i think that's going to be an issue. he's not going to ever be able to re-create the level o

when we look at barack obama, barack obama is the president of the united states. when you ask most black people if they would get a picture of barack obama, they are looking at a civil rights activist when in fact barack obama is at martin luther king jr.. he is not frederick douglass, he is abraham lincoln, and i think that we have gotten that confused in the black community. >> i just said something i'm glad i wasn't miced. i said on a good day. you're absolutely right. i want to address this from an educational standpoint because i think that's what is often not accounted for in this back-and-forth as to whether we should support the president or we shouldn't support the president. i would like to say what would you tell a 12 year old about the significance of his first presidency in light of the world that they live? in light of the experiences that many of those black and brown 12-year-olds have walking the streets to this city or a 12-year-old growing up in southern indiana having nothing but the generations? what would you say to them? because he does repre

. >>> dicen que presidente barack obama tiene que aceptar sus acciÓns y su responsabilidad. >>> mittel discurso mÁs importante de su vida polÍtica y luego va a dar los argumentos porque piensa que Él yo no presidente barack obama tiene que ver el nuevo presidente y tenemos un adelanto de lo que va hablar. >>> (hablando en inglÉs). >>> esta noche en esta sala mitt romney va a dar el discurso mÁs importante de su vida y va a tener que presentarse a los votante y cambiar la opiniÓn de los hispanos que no lo ven como un amigo. >>> puede decir algo pare no creo que la comunidad latina la va a llevar al corazÓn. >>> la dura polÍtica contra los indocumentados dice que el 63% quiere presidente barack obama y el 28% quiero a mitt romney. >>> ¿podrÁn cambiar esto?. >>> la estrategia de la campaÑa es tener oradores hispanos en la naciÓn y el cÁlculo es el mensaje de mitt romney va estar con los hispanos mÁs que el tema de la inmigraciÓn. >>> te voy a decir porque, porque cuando la economÍa crece, todo lo demasiados desaparece y tenemos que ver quiÉnes tienen la culpa de todo esto y muchas veces

entre tanto la misiÓn es presentar a mitt romney y destacar las diferencias entre Él y presidente baracktes electos de su estado y muchos se fueron para estar con la familia, otros no pierden de vista que critiquen que republicanos estÉn de fiesta mientras la tormenta avanza hacia la costa norte del golfo. >>> creo que si los daÑos son graves, creo que tendrÍa que hacerse una suspensiÓn. >>> mitt romney se vio ver mientras ensayaba su discurso que presentarÁ el jueves. >>> esperamos tener una convenciÓn increÍble, pero esperaba que la tormenta no haga daÑos a los personas en louisiana o en el resto del debo no de mÉxico. >>> aquÍ estamos precisamente adonde se centra rÍo la delegaciÓn de florida por allÁ tenemos nevada, por allÁ new jersey y detrÁs de mi estarÍan los delegado de california y texas la idea que maÑana aquÍ no haya un solo asiento que este vacÍo quieren generar mucho entusiasmo energÍa y ayudarÁ el hecho que la esposa de mitt romney serÁ quiÉn cerre la convenciÓn maÑana, josÉ regresamos contigo. >>> muchas gracias, con eso nuestra primera pausa desde tampa, pero al regresar

and i agree with barack obama. there's a fundamental difference of philosophies. a fundamental difference of principles. and i wish, you know, if the campaign could be waged at that level, it would be so much better for america. i think that romney and ryan are prepared to wage a campaign at that level. i think that's part of what romney picking ryan said. he wants it to be a big issue. big choice. big decisional election. at least for one day you have obama and biden rising to that level. >> well, it is a big choice now. it's a very clear choice. and the debate is clearly moved away from mitt romney targeting barack obama to mitt romney saying, right, here's my vp running made, and we have a plan now. because everybody knows that paul ryan is associated with a particular budget and a plan. i want to play you back -- you won't be surprised i'm going to do this. i'm going to play you back what youed to "meet the press" about the ryan budget plan a few months ago. >> i don't think right wing social engineering is any more desirable than left wing social engineering.

obama agreed to not get involved in. >> barack obama is involved with superpacs.he superpacs, they operate on their own. >> some of them are run by former white house staff. accusing mitt romney of killing women, for example. >> you have a handful of billionaires on their side that are essentially trying to buy the white house. >> both sides, to be fair, are buying superpacs. >> there is not any remote comparison between the third party -- >> mitt romney has -- >> there are a handful of billionaires supporting mitt romney who would like to buy the white house and we're running a people-powered grassroots campaign. the average contribution to president obama's campaign is $50.23. 98% of our contributions are under 250 and we don't accept pac contributions or federal lobbyists. there's not anything remotely come parable between the way we run our campaigns and the fund our campaigns and the way the republicans do it. >> debbie, we can debate this further next week. >> i'm sure we will. >> in charlotte, north carolina. see you there. >> thank you. >>> karl rove and w

that's barack obama. and he he didn't do it by the way to create-- >> i heard-- >> i want to ask you a question on another topic. eric, i want to ask you about foreign policy for a moment. obviously, paul ryan knows his way around a budget, but is it a problem that neither of the two men on your ticket have any significant forepolicy experience? i mean we're in a time of great instability in the middle east, a civil war in syria. tensions with iran. is it a problem that these two men, while very experienced, don't have much experience on the world stage? >> i think paul ryan has the same amount of foreign policy experience that barack obama had when he was sworn in as president. look, paul ryan's been in the congress for 14 years, longer than barack obama when he decided to run for president. he's got oversight responsibilities for the budget, including the defense budget. he has leaders, governors, generals, members of the military brass calling him for advice and support for their programs. of course he

and tell them about barack's values.nd tell them about his vision our vision, and about the choice we face in this election. this election is a choice about our economy. it's about building a strong and growing middle class. i want you to remind people that barack has cut taxes for working families by $3600. he has cut taxes for small businesses 18 times. because your president knows that to rebuild the economy starts with stores and start-ups in the country that creates more jobs for america. and i want to remind you back when barack first took office. this economy was losing an average of 750 jobs a month. a month. that's what he inherited. that's what welcomed him after his inauguration. and i want you to tell people for the past 28 straight months, we have gained private sector jobs more than 400 million new jobs in the economy. you have to let them know. while we have a long way to go to rebuild the economy. people have to understand that today millions of people today are collecting a paycheck again. and millions o

i needed some kind of hope. >> barack obama will be the 44th president. >> i barack hussein obama. >>ng of the end. >> and millions of americans don't have have a job. >> and i don't quit. >> still about hope. >> i just don't want to listen to it anymore. >> this is still about change. >> going to fall on deaf ears. it's going to be party is over. if we go through another four years of this? >> sean: all right, the obama administration better get ready to do some damage control, this after a report published by the washington times reveals that the labor department dished out nearly half a million dollars in stimulus funds to run commercials for the president's quote, green-training jobs on nbc. let's get this straight. all of this money came from your wallet. it shouldn't come as a shock, "the washington times" reviewed the records and reportedly found that this effort created zero jobs. joining me with more on the story, the author of "culture of corruption," michelle malkin. let me get this straight -- no jobs. taxpayer money, 49 million americans in poverty, 1 in 6 on food stamps,

in fact, hollywood counting on barack obama they have an allegiance to barack obama. in mannion and not have heard of but you may have seen his movies with jeffrey katzenberg. he's the dreamworks animation ceo. yet he says this, i have a dependency on barack obama. we must keep fighting for him, so he can keep fighting for us. hollywood is dependent in their own words on barack obama. he loves them and they love him and that's how he launched into stardom. kinkos back -- well, it goes back to a little-known story that i write about "hollywood hypocrites," and that is than individual by the name of david geffin, that may not ring a bell but you've seen his movies, he's part-owner of dreamworks, and david and bill clinton back in the 90's they were tight. they had a man, ubber man crush on each other. when david geffin was in d.c. spent time in the lincoln bedroom. when bill clinton was in california, he would crash at david geffen's pad. but then, bill clinton did was considered unforgivable, and that is he granted a pardon to a fugitive finance year by the name of mar

in the event that something should happen to barack obama? leave it to washington journalist though to focus only on whether biden is a political liability for the president's re-election. >> you heard republicans this week saying he is a joke. he should be dumped from the ticket. is he doing more harm than good to the ticket. >> i don't think. biden came one that hit four years ago. all you hear from giuliani, nine verb and 9/11. and it had a weird impact on giuliani got the comedians. so i think there is a little bit of a personal vendetta between the two. i will say this about biden. i mean, i think what they like him for is what he does in the hand-to-hand campaigning. >> you notice how there is really no concern about whether biden really has the ability to take over as president? just dismissed out of hand. it seems the only reason for obama' that not to replace biden today involves a purely political calculation. he thinks dumping biden for somebody who is actually qualified and prepared to lead the nation would be bad for barack obama

so it's going to be mitt romney's fault or barack obama fault. no matter what. i do think in terms of seeing the numbers move, do i think that picking a vice president is going -- we might see little bump there -- traditionally you have had a bump. i think the one issue -- the good news for mitt romney, the one issue he's had is that he hasn't necessarily coalesced republicans yet. they're not looking around for somebody else. but the enthusiasm for mitt romney is not as strong as the -- among republicans as strong as the enthusiasm for democrats for barack obama. i think the convention will help do that. i think republicans will come home. democrats are already there and those independents depending on where they sit that could move this race. >> do you have a sense that the voters are engaged in theth -- in the presidential? >> that's an excellent question. when you talk to voters, they say we're not paying attention. i'm not ready to tune in yet. i'm not getting the information that i want. gwen: they're trying to figure out where those sideways dancing horse

bill has been tapped by barack obama to nominate barack obama at the democratic national convention four and a half weeks from now in charlotte, north carolina. president clinton delivers the prime time address september 5, one night before president obama himself takes the stage to accept his party nomination for a second presidential term. now the nominate ago dress at party conventions is a role usually reserved for the vice president. instead, this year, vapor joe biden will speak the same night as president obama. immediately preceding the obama acceptance speech. so why bill clinton at all? answer. because bill clinton is popular. 66%, a consensus of americans, think highly of bill clinton. democrats apparently believe that clinton's nomination of obama will remind them of what they enjoyed during clinton's presidency. relative peace and prosperity. clinton also has a special rapport with white, moderate blue collar voters a demographic that clinton, himself, hails from and one that mr. s, what shall we say, underemphasized? >> let me get this straight now. obama is going to ride o
