>> reporter: we expect that the president will talk about the jobs message that we have been hearing across the state, drawing contrast between his philosophy and romney's. and again driving home this new attack on the romney/ryan medicare plan. he has unveiled new broad side critiquing the ryan plan, the newest ryan version of the budget unveiling a harvard study that he says shows that future and current seniors will pay more under their medicare plan. this budget we should point out, this analysis is conducted by somebody who used to be an obama campaign adviser and is a democrat. any day that we are focused on medicare is a time we are not focused on jobs and the economy so that is a plus for team obama. >> i wonder if the obama camp has reacted at all to earlier today mitt romney was heard and seen on "meet the press" saying instead of repealing the president's health care plan that he would be willing to keep some of the elements and then just revise other elements and make it his own. >> reporter: the president has not addressed that himself but some of his aides have saying that immediately if obama care were repealed certain aspects of it would also go away such as the prep ventive care measures and mammograms. the truth is we can't know what would change because the whole package hasn't been implemented. if you were to roll it back who knows what would happen? it is a hypothetical debate. the obama team is dismissive of talk of repealing it saying it would be much more productive to talk about how to implement it or what changes republicans would like to make so there could be bipartisan negotiation. republicans say it just needs to be repealed and taken away. at this point it is a political football. >> jessica yellin thanks so much. when the president does arrive we'll be coming back to you and that scene live in west palm. appreciate that. >>> let's hear what those comments were all about with mitt romney on nbc's "meet the press" as it pertained to the obama health care plan. >> i'm not getting rid of all of health care reform. there are a number of things that i like in health care reform that i will put in place making sure those with preexisting conditions can get coverage and assure that the market place allows for individuals to have policies that can cover their family up to whatever age. i also want individuals to be able to buy health insurance on their own as opposed to only being able to get it on a tax advantage basis through their company. >> joining me on the phone cnn senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen. is he saying he favors some of the measures? he is saying he favors some of the measures. what are the things that he wants to reform? >> it is interesting. we asked that question to him. we said, are you saying that you like what obama care did for people with preexisting conditions. would you do the same thing? we got a very clear no in an e-mail from a romney spokesperson. this spokesperson said romney's plan will deal with preexisting conditions but not in the same way that obama care does. just to remind everyone although many americans don't need reminding, for people who have preexisting conditions anything from heart disease to acne before health care reform they had an extremely difficult time getting health insurance because insurance companies don't like to ensure sick people. >> did this statement from the romney camp or the response to your questions go any further as to explaining why or if romney is changing his position on what to do about this health care reform if he were elected? because for a very long time simply put he said it would be repealed under his watch. >> this e-mail was very clear. the spokesperson said he wants to repeal obama care and there are no changes. this spokesperson said we have been saying all along that we will reform health care but in a different way than barack obama has. for example, preexisting conditions. the romney -- governor romney's stance has been we will reform health care so that people with preexisting conditions will be able to get insurance but only if they had health care coverage up until that point. do they have to have had coverage for a year in the past up until that point and they would not get specific. they wouldn't explain what continuous coverage meant. >> it is fascinating. i'm sure there will be a lot more dialogue about that language and those words in the next few days. elizabeth cohen, thanks so much. >>> of course, you probably want to get to know the candidates a bit more. you can do so tonight find out what they are really like when we profile the republican presidential nominee followed at 9:30 p.m. by obama revealed, the man, the president right here on cnn. >>> students at the third largest public school system in the country may not be able to go to school tomorrow. chicago teachers are threatening to go on strike in the morning if the school system does not agree to better pay and improved work conditions. the walkout would include students at 7,000 schools. let's go live to cnn's ted rowlands outside one of the schools. what is the latest updates? >> reporter: there is no update. that is the latest news is that they are still hammering away at the negotiating table. we haven't been given an update in the last few hours. they are working hard to try to avert the strike. at this point both sides are telling folks get ready. get ready for a monday without school. you mentioned 400,000 students will not be able to go to school. the district is opening up 144 school sites that the students can go to. there will be no learning going on but they will be fed. they will be there for a few hours, about four hours. otherwise parents are going to have to come up with plan b. one of the biggest concerns from parents we talked to is safety. safety because of course chicago is not the safest of cities. it has been -- it was a horrible summer with homicide rates up 30%. one parent said she is really concerned with the idea of 400,000 kids out on the street. >> if the kids are not in school they are out getting into some kind of trouble or something. they are out getting into something other than being in school when they should be in school learning other than being out being destructive. >> reporter: of course both sides are saying that they do not want this to take place but they are running out of time. midnight is the deadline when negotiations will stop and the strike will be official. >> this could be the first teacher strike in chicago in 25 years. what changed in this working relationship between the school system and the teachers' unien? >> reporter: one of the things the union brings up is what they perceive is an anti-union sentiment that we have seen across the country in states like wisconsin and ohio as of late. they say that bled into the relationship and are very critical of the mayor saying he has aligned himself with the school board and they feel like they have been thrown under the bus. on the other side there is a sense that the teachers want to flex their muscle and strike to remind people about the power that teachers' unions do have and that power is only exhibited during a strike when they can literally affect the lives of 400,000 students and their families. so the bottom line here is wages is the biggest thing. that is what they are hammering at now along with job security, whether they can bridge the gap we have to wait and see. >> ted rowlands thanks so much in chicago. >>> we are still awaiting some activity there in west palm, florida in the way of the president of the united states. the crowd is set. a number of folks have spoken in advance of the president. the president hoping to garner more support. you can hear a little al green in the background, one of the president's favorite songs. we'll take his comments live as he arrives. >>> it is still a mystery. authorities from france to the uk don't have the pieces in the execution style killings in the french alps. ♪ ♪ lord, you got no reason ♪ you got no right ♪ ♪ i find myself at the wrong place ♪ [ male announcer ] the ram 1500 express. ♪ it says a lot about you. ♪ in a deep, hemi-rumble sort of way. guts. glory. ram. but between check-ups tartar builds. keep it clean with new listerine® ultraclean™. it's the only mouthwash with a new tartar control formula for a dentist clean feeling. ahhhhhhhh.

authorities aren't saying much about their investigation into the execution-style killings of a family in the french alps. today the seven-year-old survivor came out of a coma and her four-year-old sister has returned home to england. their parents were shot in the head along with two others just four days ago. they were on a camping trip. it was supposed to be a holiday. and then something like this would happen. do investigators think it was random or a planned attack? >> they still don't know what happened. they still have theories they are working on. one is it could be a robbery gone wrong or a family feud or inheritance and money between the man and his brother. but his brother has gone to police in the uk and said there wasn't any feud. authorities don't know. they are playing down that aspect and still looking at it. it could have been tied to his job. the man wasn iraqi born engineer and worked for the european space agency which is also a defense contractor. so they are looking at all sorts of possibilities but they still simply don't know, very few clues. there is a witness who said he saw a green 4 by 4 there but they don't know. >> there is a lot of hope resting on the seven and four year olds. they are witnesses to what happened. are the investigators revealing what point they will try to get information from them? >> they tried to very delicately talk to the four-year-old who survived without injuries. she was hiding behind her mother's legs. she didn't usher a sound. eight hours she didn't move. her oldest sister, the seven-year-old was in a medicily induced coma up until a few hours ago. she is out of the coma. there is a lot of hope that once she is better they will be able to talk to her and she will be able to tell them and give them some clues as to what happened. for now that is all they know. >> this happening at a camp site there in the french alps. you wonder what this has done to those enjoying the alps and whether the investigation is standing in the way of family holiday plans for others. >> what we know is that they have carved out a section of that place there, the road side and looking for clues there. basically this is just unheard of, this brutal execution style. they were shot in the head, each of the victims twice in the head. they are also looking into the couple's home trying to find clues. it is really shocking. >> it really is. that is the roadway where they found the car still running when a motorcyclist was passing by discovered the car and saw that there were people who were shot there. the windows were also shot. so they have collected a lot of casings and still looking for who could have done it. >> thanks so much and keep us posted on any new developments in this very

president obama on a two-day trip sweeping through the state of florida, the great swing state. right now he is talking about the convention and reflecting on what was and wasn't said. >> for folks at the top cure all else. i have cut taxes for folks who need it. for middle class families, for small businesses. but i don't believe in tax cuts for millionaires are going to bring jobs back from overseas. i don't think another round of tax cuts for billionaires that involve slashing aid to students to pay for it or asking middle class families to pay more that somehow that is going to reduce the deficit or help grow our economy. i certainly don't think that it makes a lot of sense for us to be looking at creating a voucher for medicare to pay for some tax cuts for folks who don't need them and weren't even asking for them. that's not who we are. that is now how we make progress in this country. i don't think rolling back regulations on wall street so we don't have another tax funded boilout is a smart idea. i don't think rolling back health care that is helping americans is a good idea. i don't want to go backwards. we have been there. we have done that. it didn't work. we're moving forward. that is why i'm running for a second term as president of the united states. forward. now, i won't pretend that the path i'm offering is easy. i never have. these problems built up over decades. they will take more than a few years to solve. but we can move forward in the right direction. and i am confident we have what it takes. our opponents, they have been talking about how america is in decline. they are wrong. we got the best workers in the world, the best business people in the world. we have the best universities in the world, the best researchers in the world. we're a young nation. we're a diverse nation. we attract talent from every corner of the globe. so no matter how much the other side for political reasons tries to paint things as bleak, don't believe them. there's not another nation on earth that wouldn't trade places with us. our problems can be solved. our challenges can be met. the path i offer is harder but it leads to a better place. i am asking you to choose that future. i am asking you to go forward with me. i am asking you to go forward with me. and let me tell you exactly -- let me repeat for those of you who didn't catch it thursday. we are going to put together a real achievable plan to build this economy on a stronger foundation. it starts with no longer shipping jobs overseas. let's export goods made here in america. after a decade of decline we have now created half a million jobs just in manufacturing. we reinvented a dying auto industry that is back on top. so we can take mr. romney's advice and continue to give even more tax breaks to companies that are shipping jobs overseas or we can reward companies that are investing in new jobs and new workers and new factories here in the united states of america. that's what we are fighting for. i want to help american factories and small businesses export more. we can create a million new manufacturing jobs in the next four years. you can make that happen. second part of our plan let's control our own energy. after 30 years of action we raised fuel standards so by the middle of the next decade your cars and trucks will go twice as far on the same gallon of gas. that is good for your pocket book and that's good for the environment. >> you are listening to president obama west palm beach, florida. he has been sweeping through the state of florida for

>> absolutely. >> sean: by design? >> by design. it is not surprising. it is not unintentional, but it's unintelligent. it's racial dribble. i find it abhorrent, especially the elected officials because they are playing the race card, as romny and others have said, including some democrats, they are playing the race card do divide us-- >>> is this obama campaign -- >> yes, they are doing it on purpose. because they really... take the electorate for granted. they don't think the electorate is very intelligent. they do not allow for the maturation of the american electorate that, means that people are prepared to evaluate candidates and incumbents not based on race, but on competence. >> sean: obama stayed silent on put you back in chains, stayed silent when the truth team member accused romney of being a racist. hual gore, before a pro-predominantly african-american audience saying they don't want to count you in the census. this seems to come up every election. 1998, democratic party, radio ad, missouri. listen to this... >> when you don't vote... you let another church explode. when you don't vote... you allow another cross to burn... >> sean: your reaction? >> that is unbelievable. look at ad that originally came out with allen west. he's pumping an elderly white woman, with a gold tooth in his mouth, that's racist. how come there is no outrage and outcry about that being a racist ad? that's ridiculous. >> sean: it seems to happen every election cycle, a false narrative about conservatives that i resent. it seems like, at some point, there is going to be -- >> double standard. >> i'm a democrat and i resent t. i think that president obama, who is supposed to be so articulate and eloquent, he can't find a voice. >> sean: let's go to the media, which i think -- we mentioned this guy that got fired for those idiotic remarks, while the hurricane was going to new orleans. the worst of the worst has been nbc news. this is only a small sample of the hist earia that is going on at tom brokaw, brian williams and matt lauer's network. watch this. >> the republican strategy's basically to be a white party and a white southern party. so the republican party has decided to go nall on getting as many old and white male voters as they can. >> this republican, the republican party is gay bashing, woman bashing, latino bashing, immigrant bashing, women bashing every day. we are about to find out if you can win a presidential election in country by deliberately running against minority voters. >> romney is very, very comfortable, it seems with people who are like him. that's one of the reasons he seems so stiff and awkward. >> you are playing that ethnic card. you can play your games and giggle about it. your side is playing that card. you talk about work requirements, everybody knows what you are playing, the race card. >> sean: everything's racism on nbc. everything. >> there is no adult home at nbc. chris matthews and rachel and the others, they are taking lessons in racial bafoonry from al sharpton. i think that it is -- it's appalling that there is racial rhetoric -- it comes out of the mouths of so-called journalists and anchors and hosts to the extent that we don't understand what is fact, what is truth because they -- they use the prop and it is things-- the convention -- >> outrageous that they ignore the new black panther party and they are calling for bloodshed in the streets and voter intimidation in the streets in philadelphia, that's ignored by ms-nbc, who i think was a p.r. firm for -- >> but they are repeating the democrats' mantra, the war on women, the war on hispanics-- >>> theyure the extension of the obama re-election press office. it's a total extension. >> how can nbc as a news outlet allow it? there are no adults. >> unemployment through the roof-- >>> i think there is going to be a backlash. i think there will be a backlash. the president's not likeable. his likeability's going down. >> on the politic it's. >> sean: speaks out when sandra fluke, but not a conservative. there is a double standard. and to not speak out and be consistent. >> i want to know where the adults are that there are no standards, not just double standard, no standards?

>> we will get to that. number 4, food stamp president, of course. number 5, obamacare. that racial code word. number 6, believe it or not, kitchen cabinet, sean. they have warped the kitchen cabinet. number 7, number 7, professor! >> sean: bill ayers. >> professor is racist! and number 8, you people... >> sean: you can't say any of these things. how is constitution -- you know, what are we supposed to call-- the document ratified in 1787. what are we supposed to say? how is that racist? >> i think we need to ask juan williams who, singled this out in a column earlier this year as a code word for racial bigotry that apparently if tea party people invoke the constitution, that somehow it is supposed to strike fear in the hearts of conservatives and essentially be a term to imply racism because we are tauging about the founding fathers. >> all right. what do you -- how is golf a code word? i am trying to figure that one out. >> this one is a head scratcher. there is one of these frothing co-hosts of one of these other cable tv stations that has apparently accused mitch mcconnell who, earliener his rnc convention speech made a joke about obama on the golf course all the time, training for the pga tour. this was warped somehow into, oh! this is supposed to conjure up images of tiger woods and since tiger woods is a minority, what they are really trying to do is instill some animosity toward obama and tiger woods-- >>> maybe i. they are black-- >>> maybe meet with a council of economic advisers instead of a hundred rounds of golf or more twouldn't be an issue. food-stamp president, i understand. but there is a fact behind this. we have 15 million more americans on food stamps because barack obama's policies have failed. you say if you point out what is factually true, that is code word? >> yes. apparently. even though, as you say, this is the plain reality. and of course, the second fact about this food stamp entitlement explosion is that the majority of people whoor food stamps and on the snap rolls are actually white. so there is no intention at all when we talk about how more people are dependent on government, instead of having good private-sector jobs, there is nothing here about racism. but they have imputed t. since they have declared tthe racial code word definer, we are supposed to accept t. i think it's time foritous say, no, you are ridiculous. >> sean: we have to get all of these in, obamacare. i am trying to figure out professor. but obamacare. >> we will get to that. you recall that mitt romney reached out. he gave a speech at the naacp and he was trying to argue the facts in the case that black people at the naacp, people of all color should be outraged at this massive overtaking of one-seventh of the economy that has failed and been a slush fund for all of obama's union cronies. instead they said that obamacare was supposed to invoke racism. >> sean: whatever. you know, probably most of these are coming through interpretation through the prism of the mainstream media. nbc news. all right, we only have time for the last two. qualify cabinet. have you totally stumped me on professor. although i was thinking professor bill ayers. help me out? >> yes. kitchen cabinet, again, another one of these media intellectuals accused mitt romney, who was referring to a black member of his cabinet as part of the kitchen cab net and said, lyou are trying to marginalize that person and put them back in the kitchen and that's racist. kitchen cabinet is a term from the 1800s when andrew jackson was and the described his inner circle. if mitt romney sneezes or coughs or uses a plainly neutral term, innocent and they turn it into racist discrim dismaigz bigotry. they are ridiculous. >> sean: michelle malkin, it's getting insane. it's like an obsession. we will have more on this and continue to follow the insanity because they are desperate. thanks. coming up, the usual liberal suspects, nancy pelosi, harry reid, mayor emanuel, set to take the stage at the dnc. we remind you of their finest, quote, civil rhetoric. and clint eastwood with an unscripted speech last night that really fired up the delegates at the rnc. what do hollywood liberals think of it? how did the audience react to it? we will analyze that speech. >> you mentioned about having a target date for bringing everybody home. you have given that target date... and i think -- mr. romney asked the only sensible question, he said, why are you giving the date out now? date out now? why questions. when you're caring for a loved one with alzheimer's, not a day goes by that you don't have them. questions about treatment where to go for extra help, how to live better with the disease. so many questions, where do you start? alzheimers.gov. the answers start here. >> sean: all eyes turn to charlotte, north carolina, the host city of the democratic national convention, a partial list of speakers include, massachusetts senator, john kerry, nancy pelosi, maryland governor martin o'malley and senate majority leaderarry reid and likely, elizabeth warren and sandra fluke and one liberal with a prime-time speaking spot is this man. watch his latest gaffe. [inaudible] >> sean: joining me is tucker carlson and kirstin powers. >> he said obama was as an african-american, clean and articulate. you can't go to a 7-eleven without a slight indian accent or a dunkin donuts. he's a walking, talk gaufer machine. and barack, a three-letter word, jobs, j-o-b-s. >> i feel like we have talked about this before. the biden-opollous thing. that's a joke and not that big of a deal. he does make a lot of gaffes. he will be on teleprompter, i'm sure. i am sure the democrats are hoping that he will behave. though he doesn't seem to pay a price so maybe they don't care. >> sean: tucker carlson-opollous? >> i'm for humor. at least it's real. of all the phonies who are going to get up next week, i'm going on sunday -- any gathering that celebrates the policies of barack obama is, by definition extremist in my opinion. it is going to be horrible-- >>> tucker, you said that barack obama is articulate and clean and everything else. he can't go to a 7-eleven without a slight indian accent. >> i think fisaid that, i would be in another line of work by now. >> sean: i think you would. they are going to put you back in chains. we have sandra fluke who says that romney wants to take away women's rights. pelosi, the e. coli party. louis farrakhan will help protect the city. martin omalasays that romney bets against americans. republicans say coded things. harry reid said, you know, rom no's never paid taxes. elizabeth warren, nobody got rich on their own. this is the lineup. and you add planned parenthood. kirsten, tucker? >> it is always a freak show. some of the union guys are found hang out. they are nice guys. but in general, it's the biggest collection of unhappy people assembled i have ever seen. it's like a massive support group for the tormented. >> they are happy to see you. >> that's a good point. >> sean: i'm being nice, she has to protect me next week up in charlotte. >> exactly. no. i mean, look, i think that -- you are surprised that there are liberals in the democratic party. that's shocking to you-- >>> radicals. >> well, paul ryan is one of the most conservative members of the republican party. and he's on the ticket. so i think that both parties showcase the people that are obviously very influential in their party, harry reid is the majority leader, nancy pelosi is the first woman house speaker in the history of the country. so i don't think there is anything unusual about this. >> sean: we have to run. we appreciate you being with us. kirsten, i am counting on you next week. >> thank you. see you soon. >> sean: mia love rocked the house at the rnc. liberals seized the moment to call her racist name. she is here to respond. later, the surprise, unscripted appearance of dirty harry himself. go ahead... make my dad. clint eastwood has everyone talk. we will go over his speech amer? then you belong at bass pro shops for big savings during our labor day sale. and stop by our hometown festival this weekend for free family activities,@ food and giveaways. bass pro shops. your adventure starts here. you want to make sure it goes up and stays up.

[ cheers and applause ] >> thank you so very much. what a welcome, cincinnati! thank you so much! you know, i was asked why it was we made cincinnati our first stop after becoming the nominee, our first political stop. i think you gave them the answer this morning. thank you! i brought with me a very special person who lit up the convention, who's going to light up america, my sweetheart, ann romney. >> wow! that is an unbelievable reception! we are so grateful for all of you coming out. and i know why you're doing it. it's not just for us. you're doing it for the country. you all have figured it out, and you know this is an important election. we've been across this country and we have seen so many families and individuals that are hurting, that are looking for hope and are looking for help. well, guess what? help is on the way. i had a chance to talk a little bit about this guy that i love at the convention, and i wanted to talk from my heart. i hope that you all felt that it was so much from my heart. i believe in america and i believe in this man, and i know he can get it right for us. so, thank you all very much. >> now, getting ready for my convention speech, i read some speeches from some other people who had spoken at conventions. i actually also read the inaugural speech of some of our great presidents and heroes in my life. and one of the speeches i read was the convention speech of barack obama. he was not one of the ones that i wanted to draw from, except i could not resist a couple of things he said, because he made a lot of promises. and i noted that he didn't keep a lot of promises. one of the promises he made was he was going to create more jobs, and today, 23 million people are out of work or stopped looking for work or underemployed. let me tell you, if you have a coach that's 0-23 million, you say it's time to get a new coach. it's time for america to see a winning season again and we're going to bring it to them. now, he famously said that he was going to slow the rise of the oceans, and he was going to heal the planet. and our promise to you is this, we're going to help the american people and help the families of america. this is a great state. you've got a great governor, by the way, john kasich. he's doing a terrific job. and he's showing the president, if the president would only look, how it is he can bring more jobs back to a state. what he's done is he's made ohio more business-friendly, he's held down taxes, he's balanced budgets. we have a plan, paul ryan and i have a plan that's going to get america working again. it's going to create about 12 million new jobs in america and about 460,000 jobs right here in ohio. five things we'll do, five things that will get this economy growing again. by the way, i need josh mendel in the senate to make that happen, and of course, rob portman will be there and speaker boehner and all those good republicans. we need to have them as well. those five things, number one, get north american energy independence, use our oil, our coal, our gas, nuclear and renewables. number two, make trade work for us. we'll open up new markets where we can sell goods and services and we'll crack down on china and any other cheaters. number three, we're going to make sure our workers have the skills they need to succeed and that our kids have the skills they need to succeed in the coming century, because right now our schools and far too many places in america aren't doing the job they need to do, and i want to make sure we put our kids and the teachers first and the teachers' union behind. number four. number four, you're not going to get entrepreneurs and businesses of all kinds to invest in ohio and invest in our other states in america, put their life savings to work here, unless they know that we're not headed to the place greece is in or spain or italy or those places that have had such trauma overseas. and so, to make sure that's the case, we're going to finally have to do something that republicans have spoken about for a long time and for a while. we didn't do it. when we had the lead, we let people down. we need to make sure we don't leave them down this time. i will cut the deficit and get us on track to a balanced budget. and number five, i want to champion small business. i want to make it easier for entrepreneurs and innovators to grow and build businesses, because that's where most of our jobs come from. and so, instead of doing what the president says he wants to do, which is raising taxes on our best small businesses, i want to bring them down, and i want regulators to understand, their job is to help encourage small business, and i want to take that big cloud off of small business that's keeping them from hiring people. i want to get rid of obama care and replace it with something that will hold down the cost of health care. we don't -- [ chanting ] >> mitt, mitt, mitt! [ cheers and applause ] >> we recognize what a great responsibility you've given us, how much you expect from us to be able to get back to the white house and get america back on track. we've seen these last four years a lot of disappointment, a lot of families having hard times. i saw a report just this morning that even as some jobs are being created, as i look at the jobs being created, they note that the jobs we lost were middle-income jobs and the jobs we're getting back are low-wage jobs. people in this country are having hard times. the average income in america, the median income in america, rather, that's dropped by $4,000 a family, even as the price of gasoline is up and food is up and health premiums are up. these are tough times for the american people. and added to all that is the divisiveness and bitterness that we've seen from the president's campaign. look, america is a story of the many becoming one and accomplishing extraordinary things because of our unity. i thought today of the great heroism, patriotism, courage of one of ohio's best, neil armstrong. what a champion. the courage and character of that one man combined with the unity of so many who came together to help achieve a great accomplishment. it's a model for our nation. i will do everything in my power to bring us together, because united, america built the strongest economy in the history of the earth. united, we put neil armstrong on the moon. united, we faced down unspeakable darkness. united, our men and women in uniform continue to defend freedom today. i love those people who serve our great nation. this is a time for us to come together as a nation. we do not have to have the kind of divisiveness and bitterness and recriminations we've seen over the last four years. i will bring us together. i'll put in place those five steps i described. america's going to come roaring back. a better future is ahead. it's out there waiting for us. our families deserve it! our children demand it! the peace of the planet depends upon it! i love america! we're taking this country back! we're going to get america strong again for you, for your children, for the future! god bless the united states of america and god bless the great people of ohio! thank you so very much, thank you! >> mitt romney there speaking live in cincinnati, ohio, a key swing state, of course, so that explains his visit there for this so-called victory rally, once again being introduced by his wife, ann romney, a very strong surrogate for mitt romney. we will continue our discussion. we'll take a look at his comments there and talk about it more with amy holmes and maria cardona after a quick break. there were a lot of claims made at the republican national convention as well. we'll talk more about that. separating some fact from fiction.

and have they refunded your upgrade fee to first class? >> i have not heard from either airline, american airlines or united, since the events of last sunday. >> cnn reached out to american airlines. they released this statement -- "american's actions and procedures are in full compliance with the air carrier access act. we do not have a formally lodged complaint from the family, but the refund of the upgrade is in process. however, because of the denied boarding, we must respond to the family in writing within ten days of travel. the vanderhorst family will hear from us very soon." what do you make of that response, and tell me how your son is doing. >> first of all, to the american airline response, you know, they are such chickens. they could pick up the phone and call me, they could e-mail me. i haven't heard from them directly. so, all i know is what people tell me they've said, okay? the next thing is, you know, this has been so upsetting to my wife, my son and myself, you know, to be treated this way, and it's all because we dared to upgrade our coach tickets to first class. >> based on the airline's statement, though, do you still plan to sue? >> absolutely. we've lawyered up. >> on what grounds? >> well, the attorneys that i've spoken to, they believe that there may be an americans with disability act claim. they believe we can venue this case in california, where we have the state disabilities laws in our favor, the unruh act, u-n-r-u-h, and they believe there may also be some commonlaw or statutory claims that we can also make. >> the airline has been saying it had safety concerns and they were concerned about your son's behavior, concerns about his proximity to the cockpit. what do you make of that? how was your son behaving there? >> well, the airline's statements as they relate to my son's behavior are all lies. they are defaming my son. they say that he was excited and agitated, that they spent a half hour with the family trying to calm him down. the only time they spent with us was to try to tell us that there were special rules for this little boy to ride on their plane, rules that they didn't try to impose on anyone else traveling with a child. >> they ended up flying home after being booked on a flight from united airlines, but they were given seats at the back of that airplane. >>> ahead, a remarkable story you do not want to miss. hear how this adorable dog was saved from a gas chamber in north carolina. now his owner has written a book about the ordeal. turns out, this dog's story is not so uncommon. keep it here. one is for a clean, wedomestic energy future that puts us in control. our abundant natural gas is already saving us money, producing cleaner electricity, putting us to work here in america and supporting wind and solar. though all energy development comes with some risk, we're committed to safely and responsibly producing natural gas. it's not a dream. america's natural gas... putting us in control of our energy future, now. i'm an expert on softball. and tea parties. i'll have more awkward conversations than i'm equipped for because i'm raising two girls on my own. i'll worry about the economy more than a few times before they're grown. but it's for them, so i've found a way. who matters most to you says the most about you. massmutual is owned by our policyholders so they matter most to us. massmutual. we'll help you get there. but don't just listen to me. listen to these happy progressive customers. i plugged in snapshot, and 30 days later, i was saving big on car insurance. with snapshot, i knew what i could save before i switched to progressive. the better i drive, the more i save. i wish our company had something this cool. you're not filming this, are you? aw! camera shy. snapshot from progressive. test-drive snapshot before you switch. visit progressive.com today. >>> for my next guest, all it took was a picture, just one picture posted online, for her to fall in love, and who can blame her? this adorable little puppy was in desperate need of a home. his picture was posted on petfinder.com, and kim kavin was smitten. she named her new dog blue, but what she discovered about his background might shock you. blue was just a day away from the gas chamber, this very gas chamber right there, a fate thousands of other innocent animals face every single day across america, and you, the taxpayer, are footing the bill. kavin writes about her discovery in "little boy blue: a puppy's rescue from death row and his owner's journey for truth" and kim is joining me live from new york along with blue. good morning, kim. nice of you to bring blue to the studio this morning, he looks great. >> good morning. we're trying to get him to look at the camera for you, randi. >> i see you brought some treats, so that was a good idea. but let's talk about how you and blue came to be. you live in new jersey, and unbeknownst to you, blue was in north carolina when you found him online. tell viewers how he made it from rural north carolina to your home in new jersey. >> well, the way that petfinder.com is working these days is that rescue groups in the south, where there are very, very high-rate kill shelters, are working hand in hand with rescue groups in the north. so, a rescuers named rhonda beach pulled blue out of the shelter in rural north carolina, and she worked with a group up in pennsylvania which marketed him for adoption. so, when i typed my zip code in to petfinder, he came up, even though he was really 500 miles away. and then it was just a matter of whether he was going to come by rv or by private plane, which sounded crazy to me at first, but then i started to understand how blue's story is really the story of rescue all across america. >> absolutely, and you were actually able to track down the shelter where blue was basically pulled from death row. it's in a very small town in north carolina called rocksboro in person county. you traveled there and you discovered some pretty disturbing things. tell us about that. >> i did. i had heard rumors before i went down there that this shelter was killing more than 90% of the dogs that were left in its care, unless the community intervenes. so, first thing i did was get a hold of their records through the freedom of information act. and it turned out to be true. year after year after year, unless volunteers come in and get dogs like blue out, 95% of those dogs are being killed. they have very long rows of cages, very few cages for the dogs that are to be saved, and the cages sit right next to the gas chamber. the dogs can hear it, they can hear the other dogs inside of. it's rather horrible to see. >> you also write that killing dogs and cats in gas chambers is banned in many states, but in others, it's either legal or there are no laws on the books. north carolina you say the is worst offender. the number, 95% being killed there, is horrible to hear. but we contacted person county animal control who tell us they will now phase out the gas chamber by july 1st, 2013. director ronald shaw denied that your book is the reason why and blue's story is the reason why, but he did tell us "the gas chamber's not cruel, but animal activists don't agree with it and i'm fed up with dealing with it." i want to get your response to that his comments saying that the gas chamber isn't a cruel way for animals to die. >> well, i think that we have a different opinion of cruelty. to me, when you put a dog like blue into a metal box and suck the oxygen out of it while he's conscious and they scream and they cry and they claw and try to get out, that to me doesn't sound anything like euthanasia and that's why it's banned in 22 states. that's why there's a ban before congress right now to try to get rid of these gas chambers around the country. and i would say that people fed up with animal people trying to save dogs like blue should do their job and start saving the dogs themselves. >> what was the attitude when you went down to the shelter? what was the attitude of the workers there? were they sort of out of touch with what was happening to these animals? >> no, everyone's very aware of what's going on there. and i tried very hard in "little boy blue" to be fair to these folks. you know, they are dealing with -- they're in a rural area, there are not a lot of adopters. the economy is very bad right now. and they need help is what they need. they don't necessarily have the tools and the skills to do what they need to do. in some cases, they're not trying to do what they need to do. in some cases, they need a little bit of help. >> let me share one passage from your book that really struck me, and it reads this -- "if just two and four people, instead of one and four people, went to shelters instead of breeders or pet stores to get their next dog, then the entire problem of killing dogs like blue would be statistically eliminated across the country." i mean, that is pretty remarkable. so, i guess, kim, why don't more people adopt from shelters? i mean, how do activists like yourself discourage people from going to breeders and getting those sorts of puppies? >> i think there's two things at play there, randi. i think the first thing is that all of us have been marketed to, since we were children, to believe that pure-breds are quite simply better. nobody's going to pay $1,000 or $2,000 for a pure-bred puppy if they believe that a dog like blue, who they can get for a couple hundred bucks from a shelter, is just as good. so, the first problem is marketing. we have fallen prey to marketing. the second problem i think is that people don't want to step in to shelters, and i completely understand that. i had to go in to several of them to report "little boy blue," and it's heartbreaking and you don't want to walk in there, especially if you have kids, but that's the thing about petfinder.com and why i'm thrilled barons is donating a portion of the proceeds to the petfinder foundation. you can go online like i did, click on the picture and the rescue groups have done all the hard work for you. you don't even have to get out of bed. you can adopt a dog. >> i know it is difficult to take your children to the shelter, but what a great lesson to save a life of the puppies. you also talk about fostering animals in need, spay and neuter them, but you have fostered several dogs, including the one you just adopted this week. this is ginger, correct, right? blue's new sister? >> that's right. spay and neuter is the ultimate solution, but we also have to help the ones who are already here, and ginger is my 19th foster dog with lulu's rescue since i wrote the book. >> she is adorable. >> we tried to adopt her out and she's like blue was, nervous around people, and probably rightfully so, and i got tired of people doing to her what they did to her. she's not unadoptable, she's wonderful. she loves us and we love her. we're a happy family. >> i think the two of them are certainly lucky to have you, as we looked at all the pictures of them. they are adorable, and please, thank blue for coming in and being on his best behavior. >> thank you, randi. >> author kim kavin. once again, kim's book is "little boy blue," and it's in stores right now. what a cute puppy. >>> school may get out early for hundreds of thousands of school children in chicago. we'll tell you why the teachers are threatening to strike. >>> plus, a 12-year-old girl found this class ring at the bottom of a lake, and here's the shocker, she had just met the woman who lost that same ring back in 1986.

i said she is playing out there in the yard. so there were some ups and downs of it all, but we knew the track was down. barbara was magnificent through all of this. she would be at her bedside and holding robin's hand through these tests and going -- we would go together to take her to new york. i was making a living. i had to keep going. we didn't know how long this would take. and so barbara was the one that did so much for her with robin. and just to show her that we loved her. finally, it just was too much. they came it me and said we got one other operation we could do. it's a long shot. and i said, no, you've done enough. you've done such a wonderful job on this girl and you've given her everything, but there's no point making her suffer more. and so she went quietly to sleep. i couldn't even talk about it for years. i still feel it. it's something i just feel it very strongly and after the boys, dorothy came, our daughter. that was as emotional as anything because we wanted a girl. we had a little girl and lost her to leukemia so this one came along and it was just heaven. i was weepin not so much barbara, but it was just hard to describe. this family emotion. ♪ tually use... but mr. single miles can't join his friends because he's getting hit with blackouts. shame on you. now he's stuck in a miniature nightmare. oh, thank you. but, with the capital one venture card... you can fly any airline, any flight, any time. double miles you can actually use. what's in your wallet?

[ applause ] >> now, finally, listen to this. for the last two years after going up at three times the rate of inflation for a decade, the last two years health care costs have been under 4% in both years for the first time in 50 years. [ applause ] >> so, let me ask you something, are we better off because president obama fought for health care reform? you bet we are! now, there were two other attacks on the president in tampa that i think deserve an answer. first, both governor romney and congressman ryan attacked the president for allegedly robbing medicare. of $716 billion. that's the same attacks they leveled against the congress in 2010. and they got a lot of votes on it. but it's not true. look, here's what really happened. you be the judge. here's what really happened. there were no cuts to benefits at all. none. what the president did was to save money by taking the recommendations of a commission of professionals to cut unwarranted subsidies to providers and insurance companies that were not making people healthier and were not necessary to get the providers to provide the service. and instead of raiding medicare, he used the savings to closed doughnut hole in the medicare drug program. [ applause ] >> then -- you all have to listen carefully to this, this is very important, to add eight years to the medicare trust fund program so it is solvent until 2024. [ applause ] >> so president obama and the democrats didn't weaken medicare, they strengthened medicare. now, when congressman ryan looked into that tv camera and attacked president obama's medicare savings as, quote, the biggest, coldest power play, i didn't know whether to laugh or cry. because that $716 billion is exactly to the dollar the same amount of medicare savings that he had in his own budget! you got to admit one thing, it takes some brass to attack a guy for doing what you did. [ applause ] >> now, you're having a good time, but this is getting serious. i want you to listen. it's important. because a lot of people believe this stuff. now, at least on this issue, on this one issue, governor romney has been consistent. he attacked president obama, too, but he actually wants to repeal those savings and give the money back to the insurance company. he wants to go back to the old system which means we'll reopen the donut hole for seniors to pay more for drugs and we'll reduce the life of the medicare trust fund by eight full years. so if he's elected, and if he does what he promised to do, medicare will now go broke in 2016. think about that. that means after all we won't have to wait until the bouncer voucher program kicks in in 2023 to siee the end of medicare as e know it. they're going to do it to us sooner than we thought. my fellow americans, all of us in this grand hall and everybody watching at home, when we vote in this election, we'll be deciding what kind of country we want to live in. if you want a winner take all, you're on your own society, you should support the republican ticket. but if you want a country of shared opportunities and shared responsibility, a we're all in this together society, you should vote for barack obama and joe biden. if you want america -- if you want every american to vote and you think it is wrong to change voting procedures, just to reduce the turnout of younger, poorer, minority and disabled voters, you should support barack obama. and if you think -- if you think the president was right to open the doors of american opportunity to all those young immigrants brought here when they were young so they can serve in the military or go to college, you must vote for barack obama! if you want a future of shared prosperity where the middle class is growing and poverty is declining, where the american dream is really alive and well again, and where the united states maintains its leadership as a force for peace and justice and prosperity in this highly competitive world, you have to vote for barack obama. [ applause ] >> look, i love our country so much, and i know we're coming back. for more than 200 years through every crisis, we've always come back. people have predicted our demise ever since george washington was criticized for being a mediocre surveyor with a bad set of wooden false teeth. and so far, every single person that's bet against america has lost money, because we always come back. we come through every fire a little stronger and a little better. and we do it because in the end we decide to champion the cause for which our founders pledged their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor. the cause of forming a more perfect union. my fellow americans, if that is what you want, if that is what you believe, you must vote and you must reelect president barack obama! god bless you and god bless america!

united autoworkers. >> some of america's dark et days since the great depression, and in the face of tremendous political venom, president obama met the test of moral character. he stood up for -- not what was popular and easy, but for what was right. he stood for and with american workers, not just autoworkers, but a million workers in towns all across america. who if the industry went under, would not be able to put food on the table. we all remember what those days were like when president obama took office. workers waiting anxiously as their companies announced layoffs. banks refusing to loan. car sales were collapsing. it wasn't just auto companies that were struggling to survive, so were those companies making parts and selling cars. small businesses that relied on autoworkers as customers like diners and barber shops closed down. unfortunately, most republicans advocated doing nothing. what did mitt romney say? you all know this, he said, let detroit go bankrupt. in strong contrast, president obama took action, putting together a rescue team, dion madding real change and real sacrifice from everyone involved. from management, from labor, from suppliers, from debt holders, from dealers, everybody involved. it was not universally popular, but it was absolutely right. president obama's strong leadership saved a million jobs. since june of 2009, this industry has added a quarter of a million jobs. and the auto industry is thriving again. these are good middle class jobs in glass, plastics and steel. jobs making things for an economy built to last. and mitt romney's record, at bain capital, the corporate buyout firm he founded too often has made their money not by building companies up, but by taking them apart. and too often the workers ended up in the streets even as romney and his partners made millions of dollars. because of president obama's moral courage and leadership, america's auto industry is roaring again, leading the american economic recovery. an industry we once called the arsenal democracy is driving us to new prosperity. this november america faces a clear choice about what kind of country we want to be. the choice for working families is clear. we must re-elect president barack obama. >>> coming up, the attorney and women's rights activist who was called a slut. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult.

plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen, and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, including celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. do not take celebrex if you've had an asthma attack, hives, or other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor

women in this country, and how one of those futures looks like an offensive obsolete relic of our past. warnings of that future are not distractions, they are not imagined, that future could become real. in that america, your new president could be a man who stands by when a public figure tries to silence a private citizen with hateful slurs. a man who won't stand up to those slurs or any voices in his own party. it would be an america in which you have a new vice president who co-sponsored a bill that would allow pregnant women to die preventable deaths in our emergency rooms. an america in which they hue humiliate women by facing us to endure invasive ultrasounds that we don't want. and our doctors say we don't need. an america in which access to birth control is controlled by people who will never use it. an america in which politicians redefine rape. and victims are victimized all over again. in which someone decides which domestic violence victims deserves access to services and which don't. we know what this america would look like. and in a few short months, that's the america that we could be. but that's not the america that we should be, and it's not who we are!

>> he knows how to frame an argument, he knows how to make a case. he has great passion and a folksy manner that president obama sometimes fails to do. president clinton's record as president made the argument powerful. >> we spent both of these conventions talking about how the candidates needed to be humanized by their spouses or whatever. you look at bill clinton, he's someone who talks about policy from his heart. and that is something he lived and he lived it when he was president. agree or disagree, this is a man who loves the journey of ideas, loves thinking about it, loves talking about it. and nobody else can drill down on the substance and tell a story the way he did. >> i was struck just by how -- four years ago, this was a man who was campaigning vigorously for his wife, saying some very tough things about then candidate obama, not making the obama happy. four years later, he's playing a critical role for the obama election. >> look at the party tonight, it's a party that's more energetic, a party that's diverse, a party that's going to work overtime to help re-elect president obama. you know, we had a very difficult moment in 2008. it was two wonderful incredible candidates fighting against each other, but they came together and they're still together tonight. bill clinton once again validating president obama as someone who is up to the job in getting america back on -- >> they're not hanging out tonight having a beer together. they've gone their separate ways. >> it depends on the recipe, as you know. >> carly fiorina? >> i agree, i think bill clinton is an incredibly skillful and fantastic storyteller. and we heard a story, just in that little clip that you played. his story was, that all the problems were caused by republicans for the last eight years. it was bill clinton that signed financial deregulation. it was democrats who stood in opposition to reigning in fannie mae and freddie mac which helped create the mortgage crisis. so he told a great story. the problem is, he used some facts that helped him, and ignored some facts that didn't help him, it was vintage clinton, it was great to watch. it was a great story. >> i'd like to go back to what i said last night, the democrats have now had two very good -- surprisingly strong nights. >> they stumble over the platform, you think -- >> there was a stumble tonight, it had a slow start tonight, it was quiet. but they ended on a -- they had a tremendous finish. if barack obama tomorrow night can make it three for three, they could break out in this election. they've been trying to do that. the dynamics have been steady all along, they have a chance. i think they have a chance -- >> you've seen bounces before for democrats that then have faded away. >> it's been a while. bill clinton has a bit of a balance to carry the bush race, they both have eight points, they matched up. because of the polarization, the cable era, the blogosphere, president obama just got two points four years ago against john mccain. most of us knew it was a democratic year. you sort of knew it, here's my big question, i think david's right, they've had a very good show. carly rightfully points to the questions bill clinton made. if you have three good nights, my question is, what happens over breakfast friday morning. the government will release the latest unemployment report. that could be a 2x4, if it's positive and they have three good nights, they may get the glide past. if it's negative it's going to take the air out of the balloon. >> people's ideas on the economy is already cooked. there's not going to be anything so surprising that's going to change what people think -- >> in that small slice that's available. in all these speeches, all this money, all this coverage, it's about this tiny percentage of people in eight states. if they start to come over and get whacked with a bad economic report. >> let's go to wolf blitzer on the floor. >> they're only about 100 votes away from -- it's not a huge surprise, barack obama clinching the democratic nomination behind us, the role call is continuing. kate bolduan is on the floor. i want to go right to kate, what do you have? >> minnesota -- >> it doesn't look like we've connected with kate right there. they're getting ready to clinch this, there's senator klobuchar of minnesota. they're almost there. it's all but official that this nomination has been clinched. it's a procedural thing, they have to do it to make it legal. jessica yellin is here, candy crowley, let's listen as they go over the top. >> you will understand when mississippi passes at this point for ohio. >> thank you, mississippi. mississippi passes to ohio. ohio, you have 191 votes. >> thank you, alice. madam secretary. i'm chris redford, chairman of the ohio democratic party. ohio -- ohio, from putin bay to portsmouth. ohio the battleground state. ohio, the state that elects presidents as we did in 2008. ohio, the home of american heroes, and american icons. the home of neil armstrong and john glenn. the home of senator sherrod brown and governor ted strickland. and ohio, in spite of mitt romney's efforts, the home of the chevy cruz and chrysler jeep and 850,000 american jobs. ohio, madam secretary casts all 188 votes for the president and the next president of the united states, barack obama. >> thank you, mr. chairman. ohio casts 188 votes for barack obama. >> that's not a surprise, ohio, not a surprise at all. that ohio puts president obama over the top. those who are remaining here, the delegates and the guests are cheering because he now once again officially is the democratic presidential nominee, so they can move forward on this. it's not going to be a surprise, jessica, and candy. you know what, i believe that joe biden will get the vice presidential nomination later tonight as well. >> this arena is about one third as full as it will be for his speech. >> hold on a second. we'll get that microphone of yours working. we're not hearing you. biden will get the official vice presidential nomination tomorrow. jessica, give me a takeaway of what has really stuck out in your mind as a result of what we've seen on this second day of the democratic convention. >> well, former president clinton had a three-fold mission to energize the party base, to draw a strong distinction for the democrats and republicans, and to sort of establish president obama's credibility on his economic vision. that was his challenge. obviously he met the challenge. as we've been saying, it's up to president obama to make his own case tomorrow night. i think questioning whether he'll give a good speech is silly. we know president obama can give a good speech. will he embrace simpson-bowles tomorrow night? no, they've been very clear, that's not a position they're going to take. he says it's more extreme than sequestration. but the question is, what happens in the coming days? so i think you can expect a strong speech. and the case the president clinton has laid out, it will be interesting to see if president obama picks up on some of these themes. >> candy, give me a takeaway, what do you think? >> i think that bill clinton did a lot of things that president obama cannot in some cases and will not do tomorrow night. it was defensive of the obama record, which now he doesn't need to do. it was wildly aggressively partisan, even though it was cloaked in that oh, i like the bushes and i worked with reagan, and then he just smash mouth. i mean, was a pretty aggressive partisan speech. president obama doesn't have to do that tomorrow night. what does it free the president up to do? it frees him up to do what he does best, which is that rhetoric, and the flourishing. he can move forward. because bill clinton has done the smashing, he's done the defensiveness, and now barack obama can come in here and do what he does best. >> two for two as david gergen says. michelle obama did a great job last night for the president. bill clinton did a great job tonight. tomorrow night, it's up to the president of the united states to do a great job for himself. president obama certainly has some hard acts to follow when he speaks to this convention tomorrow night. can he live up to the speeches given by his wife, by the former president, bill clinton. stay with us. whether it's supporting a delaware nonprofit that's providing training and employment opportunities, investing in the revitalization of a neighborhood in the bronx, or providing the financing to help a beloved san diego bakery expand, what's important to communities across the country is important to us. and we're proud to work with all of those who are creating a stronger future for everyone. exclusive to the military, and commitment is not limited to one's military oath. the same set of values that drive our nation's military are the ones we used to build usaa bank. with our award winning apps that allow you to transfer funds, pay bills or manage your finances anywhere, anytime. so that wherever your duty takes you, usaa bank goes with you. visit us online to learn what makes our bank so different. >> announcer: meet mary. she loves to shop online with her debit card. and so does bill, an identity thief who stole mary's identity, took over her bank accounts and stole her hard-earned money. unfortunately, millions of americans just like you learn all it may take is a little misplaced information to wreak havoc on your life. this is identity theft. and no one helps stop it better than lifelock. if mary had lifelock's bank account alerts, she would have been notified in time to help stop it. lifelock has the most comprehensive identity theft protection available, guarding your social security number, your money, your credit, even the equity in your home. you even get a $1 million service guarantee. that's security no one can beat.

we got two ends of the spectrum here. former george bush speaker and you. to me, that was pound for pound, dollar for dollar, one of the great modern political speeches i've ever heard. >> yeah, this guy, 20 years plus i've been with president clinton, he continues to amaze me, he continues to raise the bar. he never calls it a speech, like when he's like work on it with his staff. he always calls it a talk. he does not like the lift and loft and grandeur that i hope we'll see tomorrow from president obama. they're sort of the yin and yang of the democratic party. he was both wonky and emotion will. it's very hard to do both. i think if you can make substance riveting, you are doing a great job. >> a great tweet coming from the washington post, he had 3,136 words prepared, he delivered 5,895, including audience applause. classic bill clinton. go with the flow, ad lib. i mean, the teleprompter froze at one point, he carried on. >> it was ad libbed, but also deeply considered. clinton put his finger on the h-bomb of this election, and that is the issue of nursing homes. the ryan/romney plan proposes to hold harmless people who are seniors or over 55 from any cuts to medicare. seniors vote in enormous numbers. it might seem like they have nothing to worry about. but the ryan/romney plan proposes to make big cuts in medicaid, that is the program that increasingly pays for more and more of nursing home care. by talking about nursing homes, clinton put the senior vote back in contention. by reminding them of their fears. before people congratulate bill clinton too much for the speech, and it was a good speech. but it's important to remember that the reason it was powerful, was because of the strategic decision by republicans to endorse the ryan plan. they didn't have to do that. and some of us have been pleading with them for a year, do not do this, do not commit this election -- do not make the selection committee restructure the welfare state. make it about obama's job's record. the republicans chose not to do that, and they set themselves up for this comeback tonight that is not just clinton's credit, that is an utterly unnecessary republican mistake. >> he obviously loved every second of it tonight. larry tweeted, i love this -- clinton loves it so much, because obama needed it so much. which i thought was a very, very interesting comment to make. >> absolutely. the clinton/obama relationship is a lot better off than it was four years ago. i think this is part of it, but i -- i think they have bonded on their agenda. david makes a really powerful point. i can tell you, i've been talking to president clinton the last few weeks. putting paul ryan on the budget -- on the ticket, really did energize president clinton. he was going to do his best for president obama no matter what. david is exactly right, bill clinton balanced the last budget we had, he is appalled by the ryan plan. and that is -- i think he felt a little like a mosquito in a nudist colony, anywhere you land is an opportunity in a fertile rich zone. that's going to be the agenda for the last 60 days of the agenda. >> what does this mean for the republicans going-forward, they had a little bit of a bounce after last week, you have to say, the double wham me of michelle obama and bill clinton giving two different powerful speeches and you still have the top dog to come, barack obama tomorrow night. if they haven't had the distractions of hurricanes and so on, it won't make much difference, it's going very, very well for the democrats. i heard some of our panel say earlier, this could be the game changing 24 hours, what do you think? >> well, i wonder about that. this is going to be a very interesting test in the next 24 hours, about what does tv do in the modern era. romney had very poor ratings for his speech and a small bounce. the question is, is that a romney story or tv story. is that a story about how people consume information, they watch it on youtube? are we so partisan and locked in that conventions don't bounce? small bounces in 2008 and 2004 both for the winners and losers. >> you have to be jubilant tonight because bill clinton came along and said, it's the best bill clinton speech i've ever heard. he's made some amazing speeches. can barack obama live up to what we heard tonight. is it like following sinatra at the sands in vegas. where do you go? >> well, maybe it's following sinatra if you're elvis, right? president obama is one of the great orders of our time. he is blessed that his predecessor in his party is also one of the great orders of our time. very, very different styles, though. and i have every hope and expectation. this guy -- i mean, i brought my 12-year-old son to the convention to see president clinton and president obama. he'll remember this the rest of his life. we didn't know we were going to get such a magnificent speech out of the first lady and julian castro. always outstanding. >> i thought they were brilliant. we're going to come back with sandra fluke, another woman who gave a great and different speech.
