i agree with lawrence.president took that on, explained it, explained why it was necessary to make sure that everybody could have affordable coverage. and i think we're actually seeing the effect already. you know, people debate this, but we're already seeing health care costs stabilizing, not spiking like we had seen in the previous decade. so there's effect of this-happening i think in the health care system. >> it is amazing the president is still selling the plan and in many ways it's a perfect time to continue selling it. but that, you know -- >> quarter of a billion dollars trashing it on television the last couple years. he's been playing defense, at least now he's out there, as lawrence well said there, elevating the purpose of this bill and the function of it so the public can understand. >> i think there is health care fatigue amongst the electorate. and probably amongst the voters who don't pay a lot of attention to what goes on in washington. and if the republicans want to go out there and keep

but lawrence, there's something else.y has said repeatedly, he wants to cut taxes on the very wealthy. the nonpartisan tax policy center here in washington has done a computation of what romney's tacks would do. and they've concluded that the typical millionaire or someone earning over $1 million gets $950,000 over a ten-year period, over $100,000 simply in year one from romney's plan. i mean, this is absurd. at a time when we have a budget deficit and so many people in need in america, this is reverse robin hood. >> the president gave a lecture about how we found ourselves in the economic predicament we're in now and why the american people are experiencing in the middle class a sense of economic shrinkage, certainly of their buying power and their economic potential. let's listen to that. >> we're recovering from the crisis of 2008, the most urgent order of business is not enough. our economy won't be truly better until we reverse the erosion of middle class jobs and middle class incomes. what makes our economy weak is

but don't worry, lawrence, there's plenty of time for democrats to do that. worry. >> yes, they will. >> look, we got here because there are a number of republicans who recognize that a strategy of trying to do no harm, right, as your campaign strategy, is not going to work at a point. because, particularly when you're running against an incumbent. because, you know, you're essentially asking people to switch horses, to use a metaphor, in the middle of a race. it takes more than just to say, i'm not that guy. you've got to actually give, particularly, those independent voters, those swing voters, something to vote for, not just something to vote against. and to rupert -- i can't believe i'm going to aee with rupert murdoch, but okay. to his point, at the same time that you are also, you know, decreasing size of the base of your vote by, you know, frustrating hispanics and not appealing to sort of other sectors of the country, you're in real trouble. >> let's listen to the ad that priorities usa, the super pac supporting president obama has put out today. >> o

but there are a couple of things here, lawrence.s you know, it's complicated to try to communicate what is relevant, like the things that david is talking about, to a voter who is more worried about job creation. what the danger for romney is, is it plays into the narrative, and this is why i think it's so important that as the obama campaign goes on, they have to continue to put it to the narrative that this is a guy who plays by a different set of rules. he's able to play by the set of rules, that is how people accumulate wealth and keep wealth while the rest of us, you know, if we lose on an investment, we lose on an investment. we don't have tax shelters. we don't have other ways to, you know, shell games in ways to funnel our money around. so, again, i think the important thing is to connect back to the bigger narrative, because, you know, we'll all be fascinated with the details, but i think most voters, it goes to, is this guy honest and trustworthy? >> david, you began by just rattling off, off the top of your head, a series

>> because i think a lot of the angst that's generated, lawrence, is inside the beltway. james, god bless him, came here 20 years ago with bill clinton. he's been inside the beltway ever since. you get a lot of those kind of people talking and agonizing and ringing their hands. this election is going to be fought outside the beltway and the president's spending all his time outside the beltway. if you look at a state like ohio, the jobs are beginning to come back, because of the automobile industry. there's a huge difference between what mitt romney wanted to do to the automobile industry and what barack obama did do for the automobile industry. so i think the president wins ohio, i think he wins virginia, and that's the end of mitt romney, right there, if he can just win those two states. it's very clear whose side barack obama is on. and it's not governor kasich, who is down in the 40s in approval because of the things that he's done while he's governor of ohio. the republican brand has been hurt badly there. obama needs to just get out and punch the way he can, the way

he has black friends, lawrence. how could he be racist, right? that makes sense, doesn't it? didn't he also have a quote that was like, i'm cool with the blacks, when he was flirting with his presidential run? so, you know, i don't see what the problem is here. i do have to say, though, i personally hope that donald trump spends every day between now and november in north carolina. that is my own personal hope, talking about this birther nonsense and how we don't build bridges anymore and whatever else he said in the very rambling, incoherent speech. i would love for him to spend as much time as possible in every swing state in the country, in fact. >> steve, you think there's any chance of trump slipping into the way he was caught on tape last year talking to that vegas audience where every other word was the "f" word when he's out there on the romney campaign? >> yeah, i mean, look at the setting for this. he's at republican state conventions now. he's doing official party events. you got to imagine that the audience there, you know, it's been said, you know, why is romney

. >> yeah, and i think those numbers are fairly stable, lawrence, because if you just think about it, the generic republican is going to go into the general election with a 42 to 45% floor and the president is somewhat higher. it's a good look for the president. i'm sure he'd rather be at 50, but it's not a bad place to be if you're an incumbent running into the head winds of the economic situation that's been delivered for president obama. i think it's been a good place to be at this stage. >> let's listen to mitt romney on the issue of the government subsidies going into business. he has said that taxpayer money should not be spent that way. he's been very, you know, adamant about that. but in fact, the bloomberg reports today that in california, taxpayer money built one bain company, a conveyor bridge between two of its buildings. new york city gave another bain company tax breaks and lower energy bills to discourage it from moving to new jersey. in indiana, a county government issued bonds. now let's listen to how mitt romney talks about that sort of thing now. >> it should not be
