. >> governor doug wilder who has been black all his life too said this about that. >> first of all, question there were appeals to race. i don't know why he felt he needed to do that at this stage. more importantly, the president doesn't need this now. the president needs to be a part of the bringing people together. >> does he have a point like let's move off this conversation because it's dragging everybody down and he's also saying clearly code language there. >> well, i agree with doug wilder that the president doesn't need this conversation to take place in this country. however, for the governor to suggest that this was some kind of plan is just not rationale. if you listen to it, you can see the vice president veered from the teleprompter as he is prone to do and made comments that he thought would be cute in the context of an unrestrained wall street. unchained wall street. so i'm not -- you know, it doesn't bother me that comment doesn't bother me. what bothers me is the tone of things and the fact that right now we're practicing congress light. 61 bills reported yesterday

doug wilder is a dear friend. i probably talk to him probably once or twice a month. i think he's absolutely wrong on this. look, you had speaker boehner who said we're going to unshackle wall street. >> right. >> shackle, chain, they're just metaphors for each other. if you play the tape and listen to him, there wasn't any racial intent. i think the problem was that there were a lot of african-americans in the audience, although it was not exclusively african -- >> that's not in the story. >> i'm sorry, the article i wrote, the blog i wrote, it's stone soup. it's the old parable, it's stone soup. the mitt romney folks tried to make stone soup. >> final comment. >> i mean, the defense of biden, his defenders say he misspoken, this is joe again being joe. he says words he wishes he could take back. shackle word was used by those who wanted to free wall street. he tried to reuse the word. a lot of his best friends say he did it the wrong way. the thing is he's distracted the momentum, not momentum, but the whole thing has distracted from other issues that both sides wan

we heard this from doug wilder yesterday, former virginia governor, a democrat. he suggested it.s hear what she had to say. >> the strategists there in the obama campaign have got to look at a diplomatic way of replacing joe biden on the ticket with hillary. i don't want to throw out that suggestion and have them actually accept the suggestion because then a obama/hillary clinton ticket would have a darn good chance of winning. joe biden really drags down that ticket. >> john, bottom line is this was never, ever, ever going to happen. i'm not sure if it was ever contemplated. a great talking point. it's really interesting. why would hillary clinton want to join the ticket right now when she's done such a great job of secretary of state? she could run for president on her own merits in 2016 which she may do. >> she hasn't given a full endorsement of mitt romney. she's not as supportive as she could be in some cases. it's interesting to hear her talk. there are some other sparks flying this morning over a new video from a group of former navy s.e.a.l.s talking about the president a

closely, when you see more young less impressed with the senate, more african-americans posted doug wilder comments and on the biden comments and there is a bloodletting going on among the president's poor base. not enough to tip those groups to mitt romney but enough, maybe, to tip the election. >>guest: the president ran a transformational campaign, a transformational candidate. >>neil: is the bloom off the rose? >>guest: of course to a degree. it makes our job tougher. the president has done a good job in other areas. >>neil: you forgive the tax? >>guest: it is a tough choice. i don't think the president should raise taxes on anyone. i don't believe congress will allow it. i think it is a red herring and more of a political debate opposed to a reality. >>neil: sir, good to see you again. the fuss over something paul ryan said today, after this. ex, and commitment is not limited to one's military oath. the same set of values that drive our nation's military dealer >> i'm not only one coming to tampa on monday. a fellow named isaac is, as well. with officials keeping a close cry on this t

doug wilder, former black governor of virginia criticizing him for his reference to chains and slavery. ben, isn't that hurting your campaign? >> look, what the vice president was talking about is something that speaker boehner has talked about that congressman ryan has talked about. they've talked about unshackling business and unshackling wall street. and the vice president was pointing out who pays the price for that when wall street is allowed to write its own rules. it's the middle class. and ultimately that's the debate that i think voters want to have. they're going to side with the president and the vice president on that. they don't believe wall street should be allowed to play by one set of rules where they can pursue risky financial deals that puts the middle class at risk. >> juan: if that's what you're saying, i understand it. but i don't understand why you had or vice president biden i should say, had to bring race into it. it didn't help your campaign and it started a wave of criticism and allowed mitt romney to then say this is a divisive campaign being run by president
