we're back with dan henninger, james freeman and kim strassel.o, dan, bill clinton says that was all about expanding work. is that true? >> no, it's not true. the actual, you know, progressives to have been upset about welfare reform since bill clinton passed it. i was going to say it's a little shameless for the president, but clinton, you know. >> paul: that's what he does. >> that's what he does. it's all about the-- i mean, it's very kind of bureaucrat particular, but it's about the definition of what the work requirement is and they are proposing to expand it in such a way that it virtually has no meaning. as for that 20% increase in employment, this is the sort of thing that the bureaucracies themselves self-define. and the problem, the biggest problem here, paul, is thatted good thing about clinton's welfare reform, it prevented the states or anyone, hhs from gaming the system like this and causing spending to increase. >> it was one of the forms of this sort that doesn't let the bureaucracies, game it and that's why spending always rises.

jason riley, editor james freeman and washington columnist kim strassel. jason, let's start with you. how effective was the president's case for reelection? >> i don't think it was very effective. i thought was a pretty-- a performance last night typical liberal change, shared responsibility, but i think it was more significant for what he didn't talk about, paul. obamacare, not a lot on jobs, not a lot on the stimulus. these are that defined his presidency and not using them to make the case for his reelection. >> paul: he didn't defend some of the core programs in an elaborate way for his first term. what is the case for reelection. what did he say, why should we elect him again? >> things could have been worse, but for me-- >> okay. and for the next four years, it could have been worse, is that the-- >> you have to ignore the first term, basically of the obama administration. there's a cons standpoint look to the future saying things are going to be better, but i thought it was interesting, it seemed to be narrowly targeted messages to interest groups a

let's ask wall street journal columnist and deputy editor dan henninger, james freeman and washington columnist kimtrassel. so, kim, what do you think about this new strategy? and i guess maybe start with the question of what does it say about the campaign that they feel they need a new strategy or a new direction focus two weeks after-- three weeks after the republican convention? >> well, they have had this perfect form over the last couple of weeks, they saw their poll numbers going down, following the democratic convention. there was this flap over mr. romney and his comments about egypt and libya, and then, you know, now the latest thing that he said about the 47% out there. so, there's been a lot of nervousness in the republican field and the silver lining of this, if there is one, it does give them an opportunity to go out and reboot and try to buck up some of those conservatives who are worried. what their strategy seems to be, is more mitt. we're going to put him out there more and have him talking more. i think the test is going to be, whether or not people are just seeing him. that doesn

kim: thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is james-- and i'm with senior and disability action, formerly senior action network and planning for elders. we're moving forward, just like you're moving forward, just like san francisco is moving forward with this amazing task force that's being created. i would like to emphatically urge you to appoint two members that we are endorsing, that being senior disability action, those two members are adam parness and jazzie collins. there are many quawched candidates, a lot of them bring very rich policy experience, and administrative experience. what is very critical is to have on the ground, on the sidewalk, community relations and an understanding of what's going on in the senior lgbt community and for that reason i strongly support jazzie, and aaron. that said, housing is a very critical element to the lgbt community, as well as low income people in san francisco. and with that i would like to add on a couple of personal recommendations, those being another emphatic endorsement for mr. tommi

in the box we're told is penny and john, friends and big donors to president obama, along with james and kiminformation on security here in charlotte. what are you learning? >> yeah, it's absolutely packed. absolutely jammed with people. and of course what we know now is that the fire department has put everything on lockdown. they're not really letting people to go in and out from the perimeter into the arena itself. into the floor. all of that has stopped. we know there are some people who are stuck outside who actually were able to get those passes when they moved tonight's speech into the arena out from the stadium but they're even having problems coming in because there are just too many people inside. you can see how packed this arena is. much more crowded than we've seen. so the issue really is the secret service, which has clamped things down. obviously we're expecting to hear from the president in just a little bit. but also it's unsafe to have too many people in. some vips we're told have been able to get through the perimeter under certain circumstances. the fire department, the f

kim: thank you. >> hello, supervisors, those of you that i can see. i'm jessica layman, also a senior and disability action, formerly -- i was going to say pretty much the same things that james said but without the same humor that he is able to bring to it. but i do want to pass on our recommendation that you put jazzie collins and aaron parness on the lgbt task force. let me tell you first, i find it really exciting that the task force is coming together. it's clearly much needed in this city. thank you to that. i was in my office until i raced in just now, watching everybody on sfgov-tv. it's a wonderful group of applicants. weaver seen housing is one of the most important issues that lgbt seniors are talking about so it will be critical to have a number of people on the task force who really understand housing, who know how to deal with it from a policy perspective, and who are connected to the grassroots of our community. jazzie and aaron absolutel absot that bill. i want to also encourage you to put tommi and michelle on the task force because of the experience they bring. thank you so much. >> chair kim: thank you, ms. lange. is there any other public comment on this i
