. >> the first thing you see in this book is a dedication that's for margie, who happens to be my wifewe're looking forward to our 62nd anniversary this summer. and the dedication says, "let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight." but because margie is home and has had a stroke and is ill, i would like to read a poem for her, if you don't mind. >> please do. >> it's from a book called "summer love and surf," which came out in 1968. and it's the most beautiful book. it's so beautifully designed that it won the -- >> oh, it is. >> -- design contest for that year. and was written when we were living out in malibu, in one of those houses that are built on stilts. and it's so far on the beach that at high tide, the ocean is gurgling under your bedroom. and we love it there. and this is a young love poem. and in recent years, i've written poems for our 50th anniversary and our 60th anniversary, which are very old love poems. but this is sort of back at the beginning. "summer love and surf." morning was hesitating when you swam at me through wave on w

strategist margie amero, politics reporter abby philip and tv show host steve daste. what do you take out of this rush limbaugh claiming that the romney campaign is following the path he's laid ahead, steve? >> well, i think i'm going to be alongside a lot of the conservatives around the country. i'm tickled pink, literally, to see the romney campaign finally go after obama as hard as it's gone after conservatives in primaries in the last two presidential cycles. if nothing else, at least we got him to fight back against the obama campaign. >> for our audience not aware, you're a conservative, no fan of mitt romney. you've taken great pride -- you believe that somehow this fight that the conservatives like yourself have been wanting has been brought to the table in a way that can win the white house? >> i do. i think in fact, it's probably the only chance romney has to win the white house. and that is, he's got to show the country that he presents a vision dramatically different from what they're currently seeing. otherwise, people like the president personally more a

. >> mar gee -- margie, do they not want to talk about the economy? >> mitt romney brings up the record at bain. he points to that as his main credential. he doesn't talk about his time when he is governor because he was 47th in job creation. it is not just about bain. it is a huge list of things that i think was well captured in the latest obama ad. it is his tax havens and not being forthcoming and not releasing tax returns. he was the most withholding president since richard nixon. you can see reports of what he says. it is taking credit for things after he left bain and not wanting to take credit for other things that happened while at bain. it is his history on out sourcing, corporations are people. it is all of those things that have come from the romney campaign. and that is before you get to his actual policy and how he is going to really protect the wealthiest among us at the expense of everybody else. >> margie, you said, quote, his history on out sourcing. romney folks say that's not true at all. it is completely not true. he was not involv

. >> margie, i think some people will find this perplexing, the argument that steve is presenting. we know that president obama as well as governor romney will need independent voters to come to their side. when you have rush limbaugh on his program basically bragging that john sununu and governor romney are taking a page from his playbook of bringing up drug use and all of these other things that have nothing to do with jobs, when you talk with romney surrogates they say we don't want to talk about the tax issue because it has nothing to do with jobs. what does this strategy do in bringing over independents here? >> it's the last thing that mitt romney needs right now. and steve's comments really show one of the underlying liabilities of the romney campaign is they can't get enthusiasm with the far right without some of these incendiary hot -- without this hot rhetoric and can't win over independents with it. that puts the romney campaign in a bind. on top of that, you have the main argument they have as part of this tax release the tax returns discussion about what he's hiding an

margie, i'll give you the first crack. supreme court called it a tax.ll the presidents, men and women over the weekend called it everything other than a tax. what is it? >> well, it's a penalty for free riders and i think it's important to remember that this affects 1% to 2% of the population and what the american people want now that it's passed congress and the president signed it, it's been found constitutional by the supreme court, the american people want to hear again what's in the bill and move forward and move on. >> why wouldn't you just call it a tax? >> well, it's a penalty for free riders that -- >> wait a minute, that's the company line. obviously, that company line has come out. penalties for free riders. >> i'll give you mitt romney's line. i like mandates. that's his line from his last -- from when he was governor, from when he really inspired this program and he spearheaded a program just like this in massachusetts and this was, you know, he supported it before he was against it. barack obama didn't support this in 2008 but mitt romney

margie, let's start with you. it's worth noting that nearly half of single mothers receive support from the federal government. that's not the only reason but is that the main reason why they are such big supporters of president obama? >> there is a few things. first, i think it's important that we keep consistent what terms we're using here. single women are different from single mothers. single men also vote dispro-importance portion natalie for obama and there is a lot at play here. single women are disproportionately younger. they are disproportionately, they're a bit less white than married women. we got from the quinnipiac poll. all these different factors lead to partisan differences. it's a mistake to look at the food stamps as an issue as why they are voting for obama. it's because obama a policy to help women and mitt romney doesn't. mitt romney doesn't even know how he feels about lily led better. >> that's the will equal pay amendment and romney has been unclear about it michelle, when you look at the

by that i don't mean margie knuckle under to it, learn to revere it. not necessarily learned the language although it's easier when you are a high but rather to feel at ease with rather than threatened by a world in which china plays a large part. i think one the best things for china is so many of its people have studied in the united states so either they stay here which is good for us or they go back to china which i rank is good for both china and the united states because they are culture it it is in certain ways. if we could find ways including spending time in their teens or 20s, to find a way to spend months or a year there so they're comfortable with it and recognized in their world if this is going to be a factor, not that one has to be their main business or they have to learn about it at making it an accepted a natural part of their mental university. that i would say is the most important thing for young americans to do. >> we will end with a complement comment. as a long-time reader your work in the atlantic and as a listener on mpr is it
