the president has bucked the trend. he has turned job losses into job gains. no one including the president believes these job gains are coming fast enough but it is clear he bucked the train as opposed to mitt romney who drove the train. doesn't mean he was a failure as a governor. we were out of recession when he came to power and he trailed the country. >> can i just -- help me understand the logic here. there was a recession. massachusetts came out of that with anemic job creation. the unemployment rate did fall. you are saying in president obama's case that that is his calling card that that is a success. >> in point of fact when governor romney was governor of massachusetts incomes were declining in massachusetts while they were increasing across the country. that we were behind 47 or 46 other states in job creation at a time when the economy was growing. >> how do you look at this? >> the difference is that governor romney was following a trend of relatively good economic conditions in the country at a time very different from now where president obama

mirkarimi has suffered for at arms grabbing. that has nothing to do with official misconduct.e only one ethical choice, vote to reinstate the share sheriff. do your job mel, please. thank you. [applause] >> good evening. i want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak tonight. i am here because i believe the ethics commission has a duty to the voters of this city to uphold the will of the people who democratically elected ross mirkarimi to the office of sheriff. the country is watching what you do. undoing an election is an extremely serious matter. the suspension of our sheriff did not happen because he engaged in official misconduct. he was suspended due to political pressure. the same pressure that has victimized his wife. it has had a dramatic impact on his young son. i ask the commission to recommend that the charge be dropped and give us back our share of. -- sheriff. i also want to submit a resolution that was passed in support of ross mercury. -- ross mirkarimi. we oppose the removal of ross mirkarimi. we request the mayor reinstate mirkarimi in the interest

. >> the time for change has come! >> what has love got to do with it. could mitt romney be the first president since richard nixon to beat someone so likable. a job situation so desperate the president cares more about them, it's turned out for the guy that cares less. is that the bet romney is making? does love mean never having to say you're sorry. can obama rip away at the record without hurt himself? will people like him if he gets really tough? finally, still beloved after all of these years. elizabeth has reined since london has cleaning up from the blitz, since church hill's second, and there is the queen, carrying the beauty and excellence. hi, i'm chris matthews, welcome to the show. today, john heilemann, andrea mitchell, katty kay and andrew sullivan. first up, is the country in such bad shape especially with the disastrous new jobs numbers that mitt romney can become the first president since nixon to win without being especially liked? can romney be the savior voters don't warm up to but decide they need? we know americans rate barack obama

he has placed a tax reform at the top of his agenda and has taken stances on that as well. it is not a question of understanding policy needs but can get the job done in washington? his history of being a governor and having to work with a legislature will be an asset. >> what is the underlying economic theory he's bringing in terms of how to create jobs? >> a reliance on private sector incentives. one striking fact is that we have not seen any global income in this so-called recovery. >> so much has been about economic fairness and a high unemployment rate. how will his policies be different to try to bring that rate down faster? >> there is a real contrast. the proposals or the areas of reform without going into the details of the actual reform that doug mentions are all good for the economy. they are all pretty distant from actual job creation, that doug suggested. the president believes we can target job creation much more specifically. he has done that with reductions in the payroll tax and the sound economic theory that if you want business to create more jobs in a ti

>> that has been the government's argument today. it has been saying, look. this is a policy of long- standing and it goes back to the time when the opposition itself was running the government. the opposition says it had understood these weapons deliveries to be conditional on requirements such as an end to construction of settlements in palestinian territory, and the opposition is saying, look, those conditions were not met. therefore, the submarines ought not to have been delivered. the government says in response, listen, we cannot dictate to israel what conditions they must fulfil in order to receive military assistance. >> with more submarines on order, is this development just -- a threat to future deliveries? >> there is now quite a bit of opposition criticism. the left party is saying weapons deliveries should be halted, that the rest of this contract should not go through to deliver three more submarines by 2017. the rest of the opposition, the greens and social democrats, are simply saying they want a further explanation. where that goes remains to

the struggling eurozone has been dealt a fresh blows spain has become the largest economy so far to ask for help as it admitted it needs one hundred billion euros to prop up its beleaguered banks the cash will be fed directly to a special fund ultimately responsible for the money however this plan let spain avoid committing to additional cuts imposed from the outside as happened in the case of greece and then portugal the spanish prime minister has praised the loan as a victory for the single currency is credibility and investment advisor patrick young has questioned its effectiveness and even the euro's future as a currency. all of the politicians have basically left the people stranded the new government and went into that and i almost died from the wall and they came into office and six months later they suddenly realized what anybody who was remotely financially literate could work six months ago and two years ago even spanish banks are lost and ultimately there needs to be a way in order to manage to rescue the conventional belike mechanisms are not going to work and that's why ult

not been satisfying, has not been enough, it has created 4.3 million private sector jobs. we have more work to do. there is no question. i think that's what president clinton was speaking to and certainly what president obama talks about all the time. >> so it may take up to ten years? >> again, i'm not an economist, and i think we all believe that we need to do everything we can to bring about the day when the 8 million jobs that were lost as a result of that recession are recovered and that we are in a situation where not only are we back to where we were before but we are stronger economically, that we have a foundation economically upon which to build in the 21st century that doesn't rely on financial bubbles or housing bubbles or dotcom bubbles but relies on strength in our manufacturing sector, strength in education, strength in innovation and strength throughout the country economically. >> last night president clinton also said remember me. i'm the only guy that gave you four surplus budgets out of the eight that i sent. is it awkward for president obama to hear pr

for 10 years, eop has been restored of the building and has been dedicated to the waterfront. when eop entered into the release for the ferry building, it entered into a parking agreement, parking dedicated to patrons now on lot fief -- 351. the waterfront development is inconsistent with that covenant. a cabinet reserving 90 spaces for waterfront visitors were not satisfied -- satisfy the agreement. further, the project as currently proposed does not make any provision for temporary replacement parking during construction. course that did not meet with eop to discuss these matters until last week, and there's still no proposed that will -- proposal that would meet the city's long-term obligations under the parking agreement. it is discouraging this has remained unresolved for this long. for these reasons, the ferry building cannot support the project as proposed. it violates the eop rights under the parking agreement and is premature for this commission to approve the project as currently proposed, until the city's obligations to provide the eop adequate parking are legally b
