will gov. romney, if he's elected, will he walk into office with that same notion that he's not there 20 create additional laws, to create additional burdens, is he in fact going to be there and understands at it is to be a u.s. citizen, to go up and work every day, try to make a better life for yourself and your families what can the government do to get out of our way and that's why i would elect anybody, regardless of the party. it's not about parties anymore, it's about a philosophical understanding of us every day and they can make things a lot better for everybody or turn and make them a lot worse. i think gov. romney today spoke a lot more passionately about what he believes that similar to my belief. the american dream is what we are here, it's what it's all about. it creates the most amount of wealth out there. it's the most profound system in the world, and i have traveled to other countries. i really want a person who is the head of the states here speaking that way. >> let me ask yo

now that jones is retired gov quinn took care of him and a third man in our rural union bossed dennis gannet, he is the man we revealed worked one day to get a six-figure city pension when appointed both of them to the state's sports authority as well none of these leaders would talk about their pension deals, there is more. jones also sponsored legislation to allow the chicago alderman the most lucrative pension in city government. we tried talking to the longest serving aldermen about this deal that gives part- time aldermen awful time pensions he invited us to talk with him after a council meeting but look what abruptly happened when we did, he zips right past our camera. why so touchy, maybe he remembered that he gave the stamp approval to try to advance at this deal several years ago they get to contribute more and get their retired money faster than your typical city worker. for example, fire fighters, it takes 29 years of service to qualify for a pension that is 75 percent of what he made on average in the last four years of his career now look at the aldermen, in just 20 years

here is gov. romney today in ohio. >> when something is in trouble, when people need good jobs, you would think the president would focus all. his energy and his passion on helping people get jobs. but you know what he's been doing over the last six months? yeah, in the last six months he has held 100 fundraisers. and guess how many meetings he's had with his jobs council? none. zero. zero in the last six months so it makes it very clear where his priorities are. his priority is not creating jobs for you, his priority is trying to keep his own job and that's why he's going to lose it. >> so what is the story? why hasn't president obama held a jobs council meeting in months? white house spokesperson jay carney answered in part, there's no specific reason except the president has obviously got a lot on his plate, but he continues to solicit and receive advice from numerous folks outside the administration about the economy. karl rove was author of the book "courage and confidence" ask karl rove join

. >> gov. romney didn't go as far to call the president a felon that was suggested by some president staff members. but he does say president obama attacks success. is that fair? >> i think there's a distinct viewpoint between the president and mitt romney, between liberals and conservatives on how central government is to the success of our economy and to the success of our businesses. i think he was making a perfectly understandable point over the weekend that the government plays a role, that government creates an infrastructures, roads and bridges and legal rights, and copyrights and so on. but then he took it a stepfather when he said, look, if off got a business, you didn't build that, someone else made that happen. now he might not have meant to go quite that far but i think it suggests a view that he holds that government is really sort of the nerve center, the point of inspiration, the key really to our success as a nation and our success as an economy and i think republicans and conse

so an effort has been made, through all the things gov. romney described, to see if there's an alternative way of resolving this situation. but you know, it's good for the governor to reaffirm this policy. president obama used to say that iran with a nuclear weapon was unacceptable. president obama said the united states would act to prevent that. gov. romney really reiterated and used both of those words on his trip. and i think the important message to the iranian regime is that if it gets down to the point where it's either accept a nuclear weapon or to use military force, they ought to do some serious thinking. because i think two presidents and now a presidential nominee have made it very clear that iran with a nuclear weapon is simply not on. >> last question on this before we move on to the sequestration issue. in your opinion are the sanctions against iran working? >> you know, it's hard to say. i've talked to members of the administration. i've read what is in the press, and i think the answer is that it is an aggressive set of sa
