>> the clinton economy was the longest stretch of economic growth we have had since the second world war. unemployment did not plummeted. did 22 million new jobs were created. it was not that bill clinton created the jobs. he presided over an economy, and by raising taxes on the wealthiest members of our society, by maintaining an economic policy built from the ground up, he generated prosperity. republicans want to erase eight years of the bush and administration, because his policies did not work. did tax cuts to the wealthy i not work. good also, the weapons of mass destruction were never found in iraq. good his foreign policy centered on going into iraq and getting rid of those weapons of mass destruction was alive. his administration showed remarkable indifference to the plight of most americans. what happened in new orleans and katrina is a good example. mitt romney and the republicans would like to pretend the and ministration did not happen. taking a five trillion $10-year surplus bequeaths to it by the clinton administration and turning into a a giant new deficit and saying t

and now he's living the bill clinton economy. megyn: that is an interesting point. bill clinton's remarks last night suggested he was able to really turn things around but he had to work with congressional republicans on those issues and that's when he so-called did the triangulation where he worked across the aisle because he was forced to. your dad, 5 a months into the reagan recovery the number of americans drawing unemployment insurance had gone down almost 12%. so he lowered the people getting unemployment insurance by almost 12%. today there's been an increase since the 2007 recession began of 19%. so he lowered it 11, almost 12%. now it's up 19%. the numbers don't compare well for our current president. but he points out, michael, when he took office we were shedding 800,000 jobs a month, so he stabilized the ship. >> he says that, but the reality of it is we've lost 4 million jobs since the recession began back in 2007, net 4 million jobs. with ronald reagan we gained 7.8 million jobs from the time the recession started, the carter recession started. and so t

it's different than when you saw romney out on the trail having nice things to say about bill clinton's economy back in the day and how obama has gotten away from what new democrats were doing in the 1990's. >> how many -- chris: how many people think hillary clinton doesn't want to be president? >> maybe she doesn't know it yet. chris: i love that answer. predictions from these top so the 9:15 meeting looks like it's going to start a little late... um, but i uh... (interupting) oh okay - okay yup that's fine. excuse me - sorry. yes! vo: from the new, to the hard to find: when it's on your mind, it's on ebay™. chris: welcome back. michael, tell me something i don't know. >> the important number out of charlotte is 50, as in 50 million, that's the goal that democratic superp.a.c. leaders, rom emmanuel is taking over -- rahm emanuel, is taking over, that they think they can raise. chris: trish? >> given the jobs numbers on friday, the expectation is that they will engage in another round of bond buying to try to stimulate the economy. so far -- chris: the market? >> the market loves this but it's

it's different than when you saw romney out on the trail having nice things to say about bill clinton's economy back in the day and how obama has gotten away from what new democrats were doing in the 1990's. >> how many -- chris: how many people think hillary clinton doesn't want to be president? >> maybe she doesn't know it yet. chris: i love that answer. predictions from these top that fridge in your kitchen may have crossed this bridgour new car probably rode these rails. that shipment you just received was tracked by satellite. we build and maintain. we invest and innovate. so we can deliver what america needs. this year alone, freight rail companies plan to spend twenty-three billion of their own money, not taxpayer dollars, to build bridges, maintain track, and develop new technologies to keep freight rail and our economy moving. there's a lot riding on these rails. but it makes millions off west marylanders every year. now they're running dishonest ads. why? because voting for question seven is a vote to build a... world-class resort casino in maryland. creating thousands of jobs and...

well, think a while it is important to have him there, they are concerned about memories of the clinton economyso much more positive, and by comparison they are afraid that in some measures the president obama economy that we are living in now will not compare favorably and that might not be as positive a presentation as they might have hoped. similar concerns? >> absolutely not. first of all, president obama is not running against former president bill clinton. he is running against the bush tax policies, the bush economic policies, the mitt romney adopted bush tax cuts that goes even farther than president bush did. what the president will remind us of is a time when the democrats were in the white house and actually cut the deficit and had a surplus. if we continue down the road that president obama has charted, a road that cuts for dollar trillion in our deficits, but also makes the investment that we need in education and infrastructure to protect and extend medicare another eight years, that keeps taxes on the middle-class down, you will see the 12 million jobs that governor romney talked

what about this, tucker, and the effort by the obama campaign to really link on to the clinton economy? >> it makes sense. there are many republicans that would vote for bill clinton based on economic performance in the 1990s. but there are clinton people that foremost loyal to president clinton who aren't avid supporters of obama. closer they are to the former president personally the less they support obama. i know a number of people close to the president who i don't believe are going to vote for president obama and the new yorker, has a claim in there that doug band, i don't think anybody closer to president clinton, he is not voting for obama. he is voting for mitt romney. that is amazing. >> bret: speaking of the new yorker piece, about the relationship. bill clinton in an effort to secure any an endorsement from hillary clinton. this guy would have been carrying our bags. it rattled obama. he said clinton has taken his advocacy on behalf of his wife to a level that is troubling. clearly the relationship has been bumpy along the way? >> it was bumpy in 2008. during that campaign.

clinton's point tonight is the economy barack obama inherited is much worse off than the one bill clinton inherited when he was president. he spelled that out in terms quite clear tonight and used the republicans own convention down in tampa as an example. listen to this. >> in tampa, the republican argument against the president reelection was actually simple. it went something like this. we left them a total mess. he hadn't cleaned it up fast enough. so far, he put us back in. >> there are sharp words from mitt romney tonight. much of his comments, though, aimed at the right wing of the republican party. how important is that for democrats? >> it was interesting. you listen to long parts of his speech tonight, brian, and you know, much of it was aimed at the political center of this country. it wasn't really a will the of red meat for the liberal wing of the democratic party. instead what bill clinton is trying to do is talking about working together, investing in infrastructure. he talked about job creation. these are all things aimed at independence on this country and it is something

what about this and the effort by the obama campaign to link on the clinton economy? s sense. i think there are many republicans who would vote for bill clinton based on the economic performance in the 1990s. the irony is that there are an awful lot of clinton people, people who think of themselves as first and foremost loyal to president clinton who aren't avid supporters of obama. what i notice living in obama, the closer they are to the president personally, the less they support obama. i know a number of people close to the president i don't believe are going to vote for president obama. the "new yorker" has a claim in there that doug band -- i don't think there is anybody in the world closer to former president clinton, told two different people he is not voting for obama. instead he is voting for mitt romney. that is an amazing thing. >> bret: speaking of the "new yorker" piece there is a quote in here in the issue about the relationship between president clinton and obama that says this. bill clinton in an effort to secure an endorsement for hillary from ted ken

the main spokesperson will be president clinton saying 16 years ago the economy was good. so why don't you vote now for this guy. it's ridiculous. the american people will reject it they are not doing well. they want to see governor romney in office. >> all right, guys. jacques and. >> we will see on november 6th. >> we certainly will. we agree on that, jacques. >> looking forward to it. >> thank you so much. next on the run down president obama tells g.o.p. agenda is stuck in the past. we will take a look at that situation. later, bill clinton taking center stage at the dnc. will he praise mr. obama's record or his own? those reports upcoming. >> in the campaign 2012 segment tonight, president obama ramping up re-election bid. speaking today in toledo, ohio, he said this: >> despite all the challenges that we face in this new century, we saw three straight days of an agenda out of the last century. it was a re-run. you as well as watched it on black and white tv. [ laughter ] with some rabbit ears on there. [cheers] should have been on nic at night. >> the question: will

sometimes, it's almost as if president obama is running on president clinton's economy. earlier tonight, i was talking to david maraniss, a buyographer of both obama and clinton he said that bill clinton needs to be loved but also to be needed. boy, does president obama need bill clinton to make a very strong case. >> jake, i want to point out the fund-raising, the first line, don't take anything for granted. don't think you can wait until the debate. we have to point out to everybody, october 3rd. again, we are so close to these debates. >> the fund-raiser is so important, it is a divisive advantage over the campaign. now, we're seeing the video introducing president bill clinton. >> from cokie, another thing that the president has to do, it seems to me, kennedy voters now in they're 60s, 70s, hard to believe. john mccain did well among them so he's representing tonight. >> it's true, he's become the senior spokesman. the former bad boy of the democratic party and according to some has now become clearly a senior spokesman. and those voters that he did win when they were

>> we'd healthy economy during bill clinton's time. the economy has gone downhill since then. >> not in the portion of entitlement spending. entitlements are way out of whack to the unemployment rate. way out of whack and you ladies know it. i'm trying to be fair here, marian. i am trying to be fair. every economic indicator shows that this country is getting deeper and deeper into debt. and the entitlement culture is rising, rising and rising. don't you see what's happening in greece? don't you see what's happening in spain? it's absolutely going to happen here if this continues, mary ann. >> it's not. and here is why. what made this country great is when people paid their fair share. there are cheats on both ends of the economic spectrum and like there are people on the lower end cheating the system, there are very wealthy people who cheat the system by not paying their fair share. >> you're right. there are cheaters on both side. demagoguing the issue. even he gets the taxes up, it isn't going to come close to funding what the presid

clinton film that had said people may have seen. this is saying if you want to go back to the bush era economy, you can go for mitt romney. >> and i do if the past is an indicator bill clinton makes a case for reelection better than obama does. >> he does do that analysis. and how to get the through the suffering people lpsz and does it in a more compelling way. >> he's going to relish this moment. president obama is coming to him and saying i need to you help me. i need to you make... >> it's like saying come on, dad, help me. >> i think they're happen yes to play that role given the history had with barack obama n ways his legacy is complicated by whatever the obama legacy is going to be. and a trouble with the past. i think this is a democrats saying you tell us how to tell the story of where obama deserves reelection. we're having trouble getting there. >> there is a real irony out there. obama's early campaign is primmised on the idea the clinton era was a let down. and you know we have to aim higher and do more, now he's saying bill gork out and tell everyone how good it was when you're president and how i'm going to make it li

, the clinton economy and the obama economy, saying he is no bill clinton. bill clinton said, no president, not me, no one, could have prepared what they left him. >> let's go to one of the keepers here. >> in tampa, the republican argument against the president's reelection is actually pretty simple. pretty snappy. it went something like this. we left them a total mess. he has not cleaned it up fast enough, so fire him and put it back in -- us back in. [applause] >> what is memorable about that line is it is so easy to repeat. one of your presence will -- your friends will make when they try to make the argument. he had really good timing, especially at the beginning. fantastic timing. playing off the crowd. tell us what you thought -- you have been able to watch both of these conventions on fold. the highs and lows of both. where does this speech did in? >> of the speeches i have seen, it was one of the stronger speeches i have seen, not just because the former president, a very well-known speaker to this audience -- he hit on a lot of themes that barack

you've got these ads where clinton looks at the camera and says, i had a good economy, obama's got the same ideas. support him. obama's been in office for a full term. and he's running on the clinton economy, he's running on the kennedy attacks, he's running on the nostalgia and the past and he has the audacity of saying romney is a man of the past and of the last century. >> bill: all right. charles krauthammer, waters world up ahead. clint eastwood in the spotlight. we're coming right back you see us, at the start of the day. on the company phone list that's a few names longer. you see us bank on busier highways. on once empty fields. everyday you see all the ys all of us at us bank are helping grow our economy. lending more so companies and communities can expand, grow stronger and get back to work. everyday you see all of us serving you, around the country, around the corner. us bank. the economy needs manufacturing. mhines, tools, people making stuff. companies have to invest in making things. infrastructure, construction, production. we need it now more than ever. chevron's puttg

clinton economy.and that is very telling. the first image we saw is with the man who built the bridge to the 21 century 16 years ago. he needed to reach back given personal history and complicated history but doi think it was very effective talking about this dream economy. a lot of policy. bill clinton draws the crowd into it. >> clinton's job was to bring voters down from this expectation level they had in 2008 i twont a provide focus group a couple days ago. after listening to these dispatted people who had voted for obama in 2008 he said ob yaum is not being judge bid what he's done by what he promised he would do. and this is flip side, if you zront a job, you still don't have a job. >> and that is drk -- you can't be dazzled into feeling good about it. >> you can't talk up a economy when people feel it is not moving. >> do you buy they're embracing and it's been 30 seconds but it's been a frosty relationship. >> right. everyone know that's but it looked good. it was a symbolic picture of unity a

. >> reporter: while republicans say that the president has failed to fix the economy, clinton said it's not that simple. >> he inherited a deeply damaged economy. he put a floor under the trash. he started the long hard road to recovery and laid the foundation for a modern more well balanced economy that will produce millions of good new jobs. >> reporter: it's a message aimed at those mid of the road voter that are disappointed in the president but still haven't committed to romney. the president and clinton have had a rocky history. they clashed during the 2008 democratic primary race. with the president's popularity ratings the lowest preconvention for any incumbent since the 80s. the campaign knows the big impact that clinton could have. >> clinton loves to be needed as much as he needs to be loved and he is needed by obama right now. >> reporter: tomorrow night the president will make his pitch to voters in this arena. the seats have been moved inside because of weather concerns but they won't let that rain on their parade are. >> september means the end of summer but it's also a g

economy. you heard bill clinton saying as the economy was damaged no president could turn things down four yearsspoke to a reagan advisor and said clinton could have and so could reagan. >> what bill clinton said in the convention is literally true, but comparing obama to w, and president george bush is damning him with faint praise. both presidents were poor presidents and obama has not made things better unfortunately and i am a big fan of bill clinton and ronald reagans and ron aldregan or bill clinton could have brought them back. knuthese two can't. reagan brought the economy back in great growth. we had growth rates 5 and 8 percentage real growth per quarter. and we had that four two or three straight of huge growth. bill clinton was president if you remember there a down turn and then enormous growth under bill clinton. bill clinton and ron aldreagan could have brought us back just the way jack kennedy. go, go 60s after to first two years of kennedy and then boom, huge expansion. it is just that obama is a fine man but doing bad policy they are not work will not work and i am worried abou

and should have embraced the clinton economy and let people make the conclusion that he did not embrace bill clinton's personal life. i think al gore would be president if he had taken advantage of bill clinton's stature and economic record at the time. >> the latest poll had mitt romney up by five or six percentage points and leading into this convention. >> morocco, one that state last time -- barack obama one that state last time. they made a good case and it showed how strong the work politically. now the roles reversed. now the republicans plan is broadening the map and includes a lot of the states that barack obama won. obama does not have to win this state to become president, but it narrows his path if he doesn't. now.ink it will be really tough >> on election night, what is your bellwether state? >> ohio. >> from spartanburg, south carolina, go ahead. >> we heard republicans last week and this week we are getting the democrats. really, this election is somewhat for president, but the majority the decisions are made in congress, and this election is really for the congress, and
