mr. romney or mr. obama in three debates. that was just this cycle. we have gone back amber of use to a number of residential debates and there hasn't been even a civil solitary question about it. how is it that we elect the leader of the free world every four years and this issue can't be pushed higher in the agenda? color- is no longer coded. it is colorblind. all people are victimized by it did why is it we can't get traction even on a conversation with people running for president? >> i'm starting to think, the more we do this work, it will really take a broad-based movement can it will really take us moving from, as you and i often say, why isn't there the political well/ i think the -- why isn't there the political will? i think it has to change to what are we doing to create the political will? we have some pretty good movements right now with immigration reform, marriage body, and i think that is what it will take in terms of addressing poverty. people going into the community, making it visible, standing to the best ending together, agitating

mr. romney is that a good thing or a bad thing. if the government today stops a pennsylvania pool from kicking out black kids is in a a good thing or bad thing? >> jon: the answer to all three are what are you (bleep) stupid? but cnn, they genuinely seem not to know. good thing, bad thing? they really don't know. so much so that sometimes they have to use their phone-a-friend lifeline. >> good thing or bad thing to shut the federal government down for a few days. seven in ten americans say a bad thing. nearly six in ten americans say it's a bad thing. nearly 4-10 say it would be a good thifnlg remember that. >> jon: but also remember this. nearly six in ten of you believe in angels.

mr. romney's ignorant and ludicrous comments, governor lepage misses the mark completely.maine's unemployment below the national average at 7%, but also, according to the bangor daily news, around 65% of mainers over the age of 15 are working or are unemployed and actively seeking work. of the remaining 35%, almost all are retired, caring for children or other family members. or pursuing education or training or have a disability that prevents them from working. smearing the president and attack the poor as feckless freeloaders. who knows, maybe mr. lepage will consider running for president. i'm joined by jimmy williams and josh marshal. jim, can i start with you. first of all, mr. lepage is clearly a dunce when it comes to statistics, because his number is way off. but why go with the same number as mitt romney chose? >> because he's as dumb as mitt romney. actually, mitt romney is smarter than that. that's the saddest part. mitt romney is actually a very smart businessman. the problem with paul lepage, we have yet another one of these republican governors who spouts off

if republican praises let's say modern family is mitt romney and mrs. romney did. they can get criticized for a lack of support for gay marriage. whereas obama said they love us some modern family. they're not only praised but they're also vetted as a fundraiser. so i think republicans have a bit of a disadvantage dealing with the culture. i think what we're trying to get at with that law is they need to be cognizant. if you're going praise some show, you're not going to get slapped back from the purveyors of that show. >> who wrote the title of your book. jessica, ike, and obama tweet? >> i mentioned i had a bunch of friends who strad jitzed with me about what the title was. the original conception was cicero to snooky. how our culture shaped our president. the publisher said there's two problems with that. one is that the vin diagram of people who know who snook i can is and cicero is doesn't intersect. the second is it was in 2011 when i was talking about writing the book that people might not know who snooky is. i think that star has faded. so we had to come up

mr. romney. clearly the country is divided down the middle.ve one side that is not changing their rhetoric, that they want cuts. we have the other side saying i'm not going to debate this. you need to raise the ceiling because you already spent this money. if neither of them's going to move off, forget about six weeks down the road. we're going to have the same problem through '14 and '15 until we look at the next election. and it's going to be a platform issue at that point. >> but listen, joe, and i hate to be a broken record. i've said this 1,000 times. all i care about is earnings because that's all stock is supposed to be. the idea is the shutdown slows things down. companies' earnings get crushed. is there any blessing that this is happening at the beginning of a quarter? because if i'm tech corp incorporated and i want to sell to the federal government, they're not there, i've got 2 1/2 months to make up those orders. >> right. i'll give you a little trick. and this is what i think some of the sharper people in the room are going to be

so for republican praises let's say a modern family as mitt romney and mrs. romney did they can get criticized for their lack of support for gay marriage which is what happened. when obama says, they not only are praised by the modern family creators but they're also feeted at a fund raiser. so i think republicans have a little bit disadvantage in dealing with the culture and what i'm trying to get at is that they need to be cog zant of that disadvantage and make sure if you're going to praise some show you're not going to get slapped back. >> who wrote the title of your book, what jefferson read, ike watched, and obama tweeted? >> well, i actually mentioned an acnonlment that i had a whole bunch of friends. my original conception for a title was from cisero to snookey how our culture shaped our presidency and the publisher said there were two problems with that. one, is that the then diagram of people who know snookey and people who know cisero doesn't intersect and i think they're right about that. the second is this was about in 2011, that people might not know w

mr. romney famously referred ,uring his campaign to the 47% the people who are dependent on government and will never vote for republicans because republicans want to take away some of their benefits. i think there is a perception that drives the tea party that if obama care is here to stay, the 47 becomes the 53% or so and the game is over. and that an ever more intrusive federal government is our future and that's not a country they want to live in. " obamacare" se is an existential threat and i mean that as a way of capturing what is driving this movement. some people dismiss them as crazy. i don't do that because given their premises, their conclusions about obama care and the political stakes follow logically. we need to have a discussion as to whether we really are this wed of negative -- whether are at this kind of negative tipping point we are -- we think that we are at. i don't think so but there is a sophisticated version of that argument but it is a fear that is out there. host: barbara , from florida good morning. i guessgood morning, i've got a few issues. my grandfather came

mr. obama argued romney care wasn't perfect at first, either. >> enrollment was extremely slow. within a month, only about 100 people had signed up. >> but there are also big ditcheses. former romney aides like ex-spokesman ryan williams are disgusted with the comparisons. >> what do you make of that? >> pathetic. >> romney had the late senator ted kennedy by his side, a bipartisan achievement the president wasn't able to match. >> president obama has not done a good job managing the process. he has not hired competent people to run this program. i think we're seeing the disastrous results of that right now. >> romney also rejected the comparison in a statement, saying "had president obama actually learned the lessons of massachusetts health care the installation of the program would not have been a frustrating embarrassment. but the president's trip to boston explained another purpose, why he sold obama care with the pitch if you like your plan you can keel it. those consumers receiving cancellation letters, the president said, can buy insurance under obama care, an option they

mr. pawlenty. you know mitt romney well.here the president was, praising the effectivaneness of massachusetts health coverage that was signed into law in 2 it,000 and making the point that in the first month, only about 123 had signed up. by the end of the year, it was in the thousands. did he make the case? >> well, martin, good afternoon to you, and the president, of course, noted some of the similarities between the massachusetts plan and the affordable care act. and but there are also some important differences. he noted that in massachusetts it was done on a bipartisan basis. of course, in washington, d.c., it wasn't. in massachusetts -- >> and we know why that is, don't we, sir? >> yeah, in massachusetts. >> we do know why that is, don't oh we, because the president repeatedly referenced the fact that governors in various states and half of congress are doing absolutely nothing to help the rollout of the affordable care act. >> of course, martin. but the point is, simply, there are some significant differences and we c

although mitt romney said mr. would not have had an embarrassing roll out as you had so far. while she was there talking about her web site, if you went on to the web site, it was down. she said it never crashes. it was down. that's the message they got. what's interesting is our federal government can secretly tap into google and to yahoo essentially without a trace. but we can not run a stinking web site to sell insurance. but we can get by the guys at google. >> it's a mystery. >> it is a mystery. >> so the president was in massachusetts yesterday and kept referring back to mitt romney. mitt romney quickly went out and said in the "boston globe," i believe, listen, i said mass care was good for the people of massachusetts 'cause they wanted it and this is what they wanted. that's what they voted for and that's what he did. he said it was never good for the entire country. you can't have a massachusetts plan that's going to be blown up and brought to the entire country. that is why all these states are up in arm

romney and we lost. we nominated john mccain, mr. bipartisan who worked with democrats across the aisle and lost.n we were unapologetically conservative in 2010 we won. now that's we ought to do in 2016. the problem is, in 2010 when the republicans won 87 million people voted. in a presidential election, 129 million people. >> of those 42 million people who voted in 2012 that didn't vote in 2010, 18 million of them were african-american, latino or asian. and 8 million were voters between the 18 and 29. the republicans have to figure out a way, unless they are going to get 40 million people home every presidential election day, they've got to figure out a way to talk to the concern, the hopes, the ambitions of people who are not white, not old, and not republican. that's their only hope. >> and i would regard the last year or two as wasted in an effort to try to do. >> really. >> well, they've been so focused on posing obama they have to the been for much. and who are you serving, who are they serving? >> they're against obama, okay, i got that. what are they doing for you, for you, for you. i sti

mitt romney by the way, has taken to facebook to say not at all the case. big apples, big oranges and this is a lemon, mr. president. now to the president selling what many people say is indeed a lemon, his law. >> it's good to be back in boston. it's good to be back in boston because one of america's best governors introduced me, deval patrick. give him a big round of applause. good to see congressman bill keating here. give bill a big round of applause. i want to praise somebody who was not here. i just left him. but he wears his heart on his sleeve. he loves this city so much and it shows in what he's been doing for years now, one of america's best mayors, tom minino.
