him that he bring up the fact that mitt romney said that on his first day as president he would label chinarency manipulator. the problem with that is that china can come back around on the second day of the romney presidency and say okay fine you want to play that game we're now is going stop buying for instance boeing airplanes and move our business to airbus. the question that obama should want to see romney answer is okay what happens on day two after you label china this currency manipulator and they respond and we get into a trade war. that won't help the economy. that obviously is -- >> and makes him look naive. >> i don't think mitt romney is naive about this process. what they can make him look at is a campaigning opportunityist. someone who will play to sort of a populace urge which is not an illegitimate urge bath populace urge to call out china for its bad business practices but in reality it's very unlikely that any president is going to go out and label china a currency manipulator in a blunt way. >> let me ask you quickly about the front page story in the "new york times" whi

governor mitt romney has promised to label china a currency manipulator for holding back the value of its currency against the dollar. but is getting tough on china the right solution? darren gersh reports. >> reporter: if the u.s. and china had facebook accounts, their relationship status would be "it's complicated." there's agreement and disagreement on national security and economics. the u.s. pushes on human rights. the chinese push back demanding mutual respect. economist john silvia says it's all too complex to manage by ultimatum. >> it's a relationship of constant negotiation. much like many of us do with a marriage. it's not i have to win today. i win tomorrow. it's one of i compromise, i learn what you want. and we work forward over time. it's a long term negotiating process because we are going to be with china for at least the next 50 to 100 years. >> reporter: there is a reason presidential candidates talk tougher on china than sitting u.s. presidents. a trade fight between the world's two largest economies could weaken confidence in the global economy. >> there is the da

so on monday night when you hear mitt romney once again say this. >> on day one i will label china ar to fact check him on that one, but you can tell everyone in your living room that mitt romney is lying once again. hi, i'm phil mickelson. i've been fortunate to win on golf's biggest stages. but when joint pain and stiffness from psoriatic arthritis hit, even the smallest things became difficult. i finally understood what serious joint pain is like. i talked to my rheumatologist and he prescribed enbrel. enbrel can help relieve pain, stiffness, and stop joint damage. because enbrel, etanercept, suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts

governor romney says he'll take a harder line and label china a currency manipulator, potentially triggering a trade war. in fact, like wages, the value of china's currency has gone up about 8.5% in the last two years, making chinese exports more expensive. tso rising: the expectations of chinese workers. >> people do not want to do these hard, tough jobs at the prices that the market is willing to pay for them. >> reporter: for more than 20 years, american businessman ben schwall has matched producers like the lees with buyers around the world. is china cheating? >> if they are cheating, they're not doing a very good job at it, because these jobs are now leaving china. >> reporter: going where labor is even cheaper, like vietnam and indonesia. bill whitaker, cbs news, shenzhen. >> pelley: ohio may tip the balance on election night. as we mentioned, the president's lead there has shrunk to five points. his campaign is aimed at the working class middle-income voters that you find in ohio. dean reynolds is there tonight with more on what our poll said about that critical state. >> reporter: st

on day one i will label china a currency manipulator the way we're going to create jobs here is not just change our tax code but also to double our exports. ok so increase exports to whom exactly the eurozone the u.s. is largest trading partner is contracting and major emerging markets are slowing down and starting a trade war with china mr romney really the largest foreign customer for u.s. dead where if the economy headed if this is the best politicians can come up with that is if you even believe carry out these plans is possible and among likely u.s. voters the economy ranks as the most important and government ethics and corruption ranks second after that so where was top of the bed last night where were the too big to fail banks and crony capitalism i could go on but we'll talk about what major economic issues tied in with corruption have been missing from the debate later in the show plus we hear about likely voters but what about the non voter class in the us some people that are disillusioned by the lack of choice when it comes to the candidates pandering to entrenched business

mitt romney said on day one he's going to label china a currency manipulator. and marco rubio said i don't think that's such a good idea because we risk setting off a trade war if we do that. >> boy, was that fascinating or what? you know, the one issue in this debate tomorrow night that is a major domestic issue in this country, at least on the ground level, is china. and you hear-- you hear governor romney being very aggressive, and where is that coming from? that is coming from his focus groups in ohio, in wisconsin, in pennsylvania, throughout the industrial midwest, where people think that china's been cheating and that we're slipping behind them. the trouble is, as senator rubio pointed out, you don't want to get into a trade war. that would be much, much, much worse. but this is a real challenge for the president tomorrow night because romney is going to take the position that is politically popular in the swing states, and how does the president respond to that? this is a real test. >> i think you know, he'll say offshoring. and outsourcing. he'll go ri

we need to label china what it is. a currency manipulator and competing in an unfair manner. a a we've got to help us -- we've got to help small businesses. if you of a small business, you build that business yourself government did not do it for you.
