barack obama to be the next president of the united states. and, i proudly nominate him to be the standard bearer of the democratic party. now, folks,n tampa a few days ago, we heard a lot of talk. oh, about how the president and the democrats don't really believe in free enterprise and individual initiative. how we want everybody to depend on the government. how bad we are for the economy. this republican narrative, its alternative universe says that every one of us in this room who amounts to anything, we're all completely self-made. one of the greatest chairman that the democratic party ever had, bob strauss, used to say that every politician wants every voter to believe he was born in a log cabin he built himself. but, as strauss then admitted, it ain't so. we democrats, we think the country works better with a strong middle class, with real opportunities for poor folks to work their way into it. with business and government actually working together to promote growth and broadly shared prosperity. you see, we believe that we're all in this together is a far better philosophy than you're on your own. now, so who is right? well, s

peonallyhey n that he has crazy elements in his party and barack obama doesn't have crazy elements inld people -- this is my number one rule because i'd alwaysave politicians coming up to me sing how do i do this or that? d i'd have people say, how do you attack newt gingrich and your own republican party and still have 80%, 85% approval rating among republicans? here's the rule. nobody ever sps you when yore gng m ur i always told them that. if you know what you believe in, step on the gas. go 90 miles an hour politically, blow through every stop sign, and nobody's foolish enough to believe you. if mitt romney had said damn right, i was for the individual mandate in massachusetts because as t r to f massachusetts. and guess what? i agree with the heritage foundation. i agree with the conservative -- if he had taken that argument and pushed it aggressively, even though i would disagree with it, if he had pushed it aggressively like he d iat2009 op-ed in "usa today" and stayed with it, guess what? he'd be in pretty good shape right now. but there seems tbe this ongoing fear because he'

. >> the first debate between presidential candidates mitt romney and president barack obama is next wednesday,>> the n presidential candidates is next wednesday, october 3. the news hour's jim lauer moderates. get a preview at 7:00 p.m. eastern. and your reactions on comments, follow our live coverage on c- span, c-span radio. >> of the new york city that supports president obama, congressman bob turner, a republican. this is an hour and 40 minutes. >> we are here once again for the wine institute in connection to dedicating to examining the 2012 presidential election and the way it may be being shaped by the memory of the holocaust and the politics of vitriol. you can find a note to more interesting people to discuss this topic for many reasons. first, the former three-term mayor of new york city, ed koch. people forget, i do not, but people forget that he started out as a congressman. the discussion we are talking about is not merely about his days as a mayor, but who knows what that means in washington. i think in his more recent vintage, you can think of him as a king maker in the jewish vote. he

barack obama did say the car industry, and he also did kill bin laden. that is a massive tick in the box if you're running for re-election. >> that's right. this is -- presidential elect n elections are about what you've accomplished and where we've been. president obama's commitment tonight was to talk about where we were and have an honest conversation about how far we've come. and the fact that he inherited the largest set of problems of any president since fdr and made decisions that were hard but right, and that this is a president who didn't, just like vice president biden said, that i've got to do what's politically popular. >> i have a couple questions about the speech. one is what bill clinton did last night was talk about the gridlock in washington and bipartisanship. and i think the president didn't do that tonight in a large way, maybe because he doesn't have any hope for it. i don't know. the other question is, was -- and we'll learn it after we see polling, but did he make a connection with the sense of disappointment that people feel? you know, or did president clinton do that? >> i think we are coming out of this convention after three days of electric c

guy to run against barack obama and when you talk about how well or how badly the current guy is running his campaign, it is fair to start with the reaction to the tape. you have 'nsecret tape of him talking to donors and what do you make of it? the critics say he is dismissing a wide swath of voterers 47% of the country and many of the people elderly and veterans who might actually vote for mitt romney. and he is saying, that it sounds like he is discounting them. >> well, first of all, i didn't see all of the remarks in the entirety, but certainly, you assume and know that mitt romney is not, not interested in receiving the support and votes of any american, and he is seek ing them actively, and he wants the vote of every americanment i think that what his concern is and it is a concern of a lot of us is the rise because of the economy of americans who have to rely on subsistence for basically to stay alive and live decent lives. so it is the obama economic policies that have caused this problem, and he wants to go to having business creates jobs rather than government subsistence and government creating jobs. >> do you agree with governor romney when he said t
