obama has been defining romney with negative ads and negative ads work. so he will be able to push back some. whether he should use that opportunity to go toe-to-toe on likeability, with obama i'm not so sure. >> i think she is saying empathy. >> i'm not sure that might play to obama's strength. he would do better to focus on his accomplishments as governor, keeping employment low, saving the olympics in utah, his business record success at bai . keep the focus on -- at bain. keep the focus on his accomplishments, let obama play the likeability game. >> it doesn't work, it has not work. we have heard enough about the olympics, i hate to bring up this subject, but franklin roosevelt when he died somebody was caught crying and the reporter said to him, did you know mr. roosevelt? he said i didn't know mr. roosevelt, but he knew me. >> dan, the embracing -- mediate the dispute, where do you come down on this? they are going to bring in testimonials all week to his business success, bane capital, romney did -- they want to bring out this record of success and

president obama has been regularly informed what could cause military invention. the knowledge that if the regime has chemical weapons and has threatened to use them in the event of a foreign attack has prompted some of the strongest rhetoric yet. >> we have been very -- the assad regime and others on the ground that a red line for us is we start seeing a bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. that would change my calculus. >> under a growing security concern, how to keep those weapons safe with fighting on the ground. >> this concerns our allies in the region including israel and its concerns us,. we cannot have a situation where chemical or biological weapons are falling into the hands of the wrong people. >> the u.s. says it will not arm the rebels because it does not know who they all are. but it is providing non-legal assistance and that is set to continue. -- non-lethal assistance. >> now to our correspondent in beirut. and in response to president obama's remarks? -- any response > >> not from damascus where i have seen. the issue came up

set for me your these. >> obama has reduce america's influence in the world. power america had 500 nuclear weapons. and he's talking about a world that has no nuclear weapons at a time when china and pakistan has been increasing their arsenals. >> cenk: let's talk about that. first of all if we have 1500 nuclear weapons we can destroy the world ten times, 100 times. this is reducing us. fascinating. china is number two at $120 billion. we're 6-to-1 ratio over our closest competitor. jesus, how many money do you have to spend on nukes and defense spending before your friends that are defense contractors are happy enough. >> first of all you have to remember that domestic spending has been growing under obama. he has added 5 trillion-dollar to the national deficit. if he had a second term you can assume that he'll add 5 trillion-dollar more. >> cenk: let's talk about that. one issue at a time. when you mention that 5 trillion-dollar. you know a great majority of that was left over from the bush administration. left a 1.2 opinionated. >> what do you moon left ove

obama in turn has made references to mitt romney ststrapping the dog on the roof of the car. they are going bk to really partisan politics. i do not know how much sharply these attacks canet. >> when paul ryan was made the vice presidential nominee for the republican party, ththere was a lot ofof talk about ok this is one we are going to get down to substance and issues. >> when you are throwing mud sometimes there are a lot of rich minerals in it. it does not mean it is going to stop b being thrown, but it is thicker. >> this week andnd met mitt romney with his whi board wanting to talk about medicare and then answered a question about his taxes, saying he has paid at least 13%. seems like every time there is an issue they wa to talk about, candidates seem to put their footn their mouth. >> the obama campaign is not stping away from what joe biden said. talking about the middle-class. it was not a racial thing. you would think there would be ststepping away, but these attks are e just getting sharper and sharper. >> does anybody care what mitt romney paid in income taxes? >>

i believe president obama has done a healthy job with that. single american in different ways. i do not believe paul ryan or mitt romney will be able to do the same job. i do appreciate -- >> finish up. go ahead. >> i do appreciate by -- ryan and mitt romney's enthusiasm. i wish them the best of luck. >> a college student in new york city. back to the convention floor. >> caroline and janet, two delegates from the home state of mitt romney. i want to ask you about ann romney's speech aimed towards women. >> i think she did a good job. she is a mother of five boys. she understands what the role of a woman is being a mother and a wife and being a church-going family and supporting charities and her work with that. she did what i was expecting as a woman. she is a role model. she is someone i have looked to. what you saw last night was very genuine. not only how she spoke, but what you learned about the family. >> your impression of the speeches tonight, paul ryan specifically, how did the canada its do? >> paul ryan was incredible. i thought he

he wants to talk about barak obama and what barak obama has done wrong and the obama campaign has beenthat conversation to focus on romney and what romney did today is basically do their work for them. >> bret: but bill, on the flip side of that argument, you have this being about barak obama. he could have taken the ball and the simpson bowles decision, the group that came up with a plan that he croated in december of 2010 and he didn't. that's barak obama decision, one that the paul ryan choice brings into center focus, right? >> i just don't agree with the conventional wisdom that when an incumbent is running about the election, it's a referendum and in this case -- so the right thing for the challenger is make it about obama and sort of don't do anything controversial. it's impossible. you're running for president of the united states. people understand, people aren't idiots. they see two names, obama and romney. it's a choice. people can say, it should be a referendum, it should be a referendum. it's a choice. you've got to accept the fact that it's a choice and give people, give

obama has not presented a plan on medicare id he said onuly 11 2011, at a press conference -- it wasn't in secret -- that no matter how much you raise taxes, medicare is insolvent and unsustainable. has he presented a plan? no. his treasury secretary was asked by ryan in the house hearings, have you got a plan on medicare? the answer was no, but we don't like yours. >> who is going to win this debate mark? >> the president w will win the debate if it is on health care, no question about it. even though paul ryan says the hearts fluttering a very conservati columnist -- "the wall street journal" editorial- page gives them wet kiss every time it turns around -- he is lying at a different altitude piteous getting scrutiny has never had a "the wall street journal" reveals there were four tters to the energy department requesting stimulus funds, even though he said he neve -- he said he d never done it. he vod tofor the iraq war unfunded. he will get the kind of scrutiny that a president gets deservedly and rightly so. we will find out what he is made of. >> that is what democrats want -- re

barack obama has a long history of opposing work for welfare. "i was not a wild, huge supporter of the federal plan that was signed in 1996." [ male announcer ] on july 12th obama quietly ended work requirements for welfare. you wouldn't have to work and wouldn't have to train for a job. mitt romney strongly bebeliev work must be part of welfare. the romney plan for a stronger middle class: it'll put work back in welfare. [ romney i'm mitt romney and i approve this message. >> venations first african- governor weighs in on from joe biden. some are calling them racially insensitive. doug wilder is criticizing joe biden one day after he said the put romney campaign would back in chainss economically if reelected. >> when he says they are going to put you back in chains, and means you were there. was not. it is a separate argument. we do not need that from leaders. t need that from anybody. >> his comments come as is defending to biden. mr. obama wrapped up a three-day in iowa tonight. in the keyn was back battleground state of ohio this evening. t

americans are unhappy right now with president obama's stewardship of the economy. mitt romney has an advantage there. and his allies are trying to capitalize with this new ad. >> the economy in my opinion is still the same as four years ago. >> obama said he would help the middle class and that's where i am. i'm the middle class and instead it has hurt me. >> and we learned this week that the median family income dropped more than $4,000 since 2009. even if that's not all president obama's fault, as i know you're going to argue, isn't it a huge political problem for the president? >> look, the economy is a challenge for all of us and the president is trying to address the economy by reducing the deficit by $4 trillion with his job act that would create a million jobs by keeping police fiefrtders and teachers on the job. reward small businesses who are hiring. he's put these proposals across the aisle and asked republicans to support them and at every turn they rejected it. they want to make the economy the issue and it will be an issue in this campaign. but we're going to make the

romney camp is out with the second tv ad hitting the president on the topic of welfare. >> barack obama hashistory of opposing work for welfare. >> i was not a huge supporter of the federal plan that we signed in 1996. >> on july 12th, obama quietly ended work requirements for welfare. you wouldn't have to work or train for a job. >> ben, i want to point out to everybody out there that our own first read in the washington post has pointed out that this ad is a big stretch. but the romney campaign is also accusing democrats of putting out dishonest ads as well. shouldn't both sides stop the dishonest ads and finger pointing of back and forth, they issues. focus to be. it's about the economic choice. that's what the president economy from congressman choice. millionaires and billaionaires, look at his v.p. pick. when they were in springfield, the president was a democratic point person on that and praised by republicans on the other side of the aisle for working to prevent the work requirement. >> ben, with you guys going so hard after paul ryan on his budget and what it's going to do to medi

so this is the rhetoric versus the reality of how obama has governed. the president has governed in a way that has been about tax relief during an economic crisis. more importantly if i'm an american right now, say i'm a senior citizen and i listen to the other side saying i'm going to roll back obama care right away, what that means is they're going to erase the getting rid of the doughnut hole which means seniors prescription drug costs won't go down. they're going to erase preventive care things where seniors can go in and get preventive care and preventive treatment. if i'm an american listening to the romney budget and ryan budget right now, these guys are going to slash pell grants and access to college for millions of american students. if i'm listening to the romney and ryan plan right now, these guys are going to cut infrastructure investment and the innovation economy, research and development. so this is a clear choice between a ticket that's saying we're going to cut all of these things and cut taxes on the richest americans versus obama not

we actually know that obama has a hidden agenda. obama leans over to the russian president medvedev, taps him on the thigh, and says listen mr. medvedev, i want to give you certain things about missile defense, but i need flexibility. you got to wait till after the election. obama's admitting if i told the american people now what i wanted to do, they may not vote for me. so wait till after the election, then we can do business. we know he has the hidden agenda. we don't know what that is. >> there's no doubt that was a moment, for those of us who don't like to be cynical, we have a lot of dancing on that. that was a horrible moment. that was an agenda he's telling the american people. you're just right on that. >> here's the point, dinesh. you obviously, you're a smart guy. you've got a lot of opinions. it's the way you are trying. this is the point that penn has. which i agree with it it's not so much that we don't think you can criticize president obama. of course you can. many areas. it's the fact that you believe there is underp

massachusetts has received 2,061 votes, more than a majority of those votes entitled to be cast at this convention. >> delegates chose the former massachusetts governor as the challenger to president barack obama. >> at every turn in his life, this man i met at a high school dance has helped lift up others. this man will lift up america. >> the republicans approved their party platform. they say obama has failed to bring the country out of the worst economic slump since the great depression. the platform calls for a small government with less public spending. it pledges tax cuts on corporations and requires higher spending on the military. the party criticizes obama for cutting the defense budget as the u.s. faces increasing threats including nuclear developments in north korea and iran and china's military buildup. romney has worked for years towards the nomination, but many americans still wonder what he stands for. nhk world's matt field has more from tampa. >> reporter: mitt romney says he has the experience to lead something he says president barack obama has not led, an economic recovery. >> so to get this economy going again with more jobs and more take-home pay. >> reporter: voters fou

president obama has 124 million on hand. romney has 18 # million -- $186 million on hand. lot of money has come since mitt romney picked paul ryan. you don't need to make faces and noises about whether or not romney was smart -- >> bob: i'm sorry you're so sensitive about that. because this is such a fair table, fair and balanced. interest you get paid to be here. you have -- >> greg: you get paid to be here. you have can't use that same old line. >> bob: yes, i can. it's a free country. >> kimberly: dana got healthy snacks in the green room to keep you going. >> dana: on the fundraising team for the third month in a row, president obama spent more on his campaign than he brought in. they will go in to this with the spending deficit. one reason if you go to 2008, president obama made a good decision for him. to not taking the public financing. you had the citizens united decision. there will be a fundraising difference. it would have said four years ago i didn't think it was possible. now it looks like they will have more money. >> bob: you are right. it's strategic on his

chris: people like fighters. >> people do like fighters and ever since that kansas speech president obama has been presenting this entire class warfare, sort of warfare that the campaign has been waging as a battle between -- for equality and for the american dream. that's what you're going to see him talking about when he gets to charlotte. >> and romney's advisors will say as much as we talked about biography, they want it to be about the middle class family more than his happy, successful, beautiful family. so there's a bit of a tug-of-war about how much biography and how much should it be about connecting to those voters who may like the president but aren't satisfied? that's really where this election is going to be decided. chris: do you think he's a loser for him letting it be known that he has a quarter of a billion dollars? >> he's so wealthy. but he is in a league that is really historic. so it is problematic, but he wants to try and make that proud of working for it, and they have not told that story well enough. chris: when we come back, scoops and predictions right from the noteb

obama has more fans. he has had it since 2008 and then president, so it's natural that he would have the advantage there. romney on his main page, and i think the obama campaign has done well, they've taken this to a more local level, so there are more than 50 pages for each of the states so whichever state you're in there's an obama page for that state, there are pages for the constituency groups, whether it's veterans or women for obama. it's what they called the trip team, the rapid response teal and put lovers for obama, which is also very popular. so a lot of activities not solely concentrated on the obama page. a lot of that is more localize dollars action and i think that's important because while the message is to campaign -- the campaign specifics are important and the main page, they're key, but if you're in colorado or an activist and new hampshire, that information and connecting with those voters is going to be more valuable than someone who connects with the main page because they can say gr

has a plan. >> he had to. be honest. >> well barack obama had a chances over three and a half years and certainly hasn't got close. he hasn't got close. sonstitutional amendment should have a balt answered amendment as well. mitt romney is the only one who has balanced the budget. barack obama has not. >> you tell me how you are going to balance the budget without raising taxes on anybody? >> let me jump in hefor a second. i think we see the disagreement on the budget. i will be the referee. chip, you. your numbers don't add up. i am the neutral arbiter. >> i am surprised you would rule in his. >> who said you would get an impartial judge on cable t.v. the social issues here is where i think the paul ryan story hasn't been told. explain to me. paul ryan is so far right. i mean, you know on the issues relating to choice and same sex-marriage and guns. how will that play in wisconsin. >> if you look at ohio the numberst it's a very pro life stave. those numbers, again, this is about turn out when we go into the november, and i know chris was talking about we saw that story in 2008. go back to 2004. george w. bush w

got a less about what obama in office has donetalked more about what romney would do. >> kelly: and attacking governor mitt romney, instead of boasting what president obama has achieved... >> that and a got help this week, an independent study by the toc tax policy did an analysis of mitt romney's tax plan, no matter how many loopholes you close, he wants to close all tax rates to 20%, he says it ends up being a sizable tax cut for a wealthy and a small tax increase for the middle class and mitt romney disputes the numbers but that is a good talking point for the obama campaign. >> kelly: and of course the republicans would like to see the middle class tax cut not be owe then thing that goes into -- the only thing that goes into effect, but, all the bush tax cuts go in place for all americans and many say that that is the way to go but the president hunkered down, saying i will not go that route? >> well, and i point back to david axelrod, there is another study done by an accounting firm, ernst and young, well-respected and well-

latest from the super pac supporting president obama has republicans crying foul.pot implies that mitt romney was responsible for the death of a laid off man's wife from cancer. >> she passed away in 22 days. i do not think mitt romney realizes what he has done to anyone. >> reporter: the ad fails to mention the man's wife died in 2006, years after romney left bai capital and the woman did not receive health insurance through her husband. mitt romney condemned the spot. >> in the past when people pointed out something was inaccurate, campaigns pulled the ad, today they blast ahead. >> reporter: romney campaign is far from . running its own ad claiming president obama has gutted welfare reform. >> waivers. >> reporter: the white house says that is blatantly dishonest the administration's experiments with changes still requires people to work. romney is gearing up for a battleground state bus tour this weekend stocking speculation a vp announcement is imminent. new cnn poll shows president obama with a seven point advantage over romney. perhaps he can close that gap

obama has no chance of carrying indiana. i asked mitch daniels if there was a white democrat south of indianapolis supporting all -- supported obama. he said, not that i can think of. indiana is gone. i think north carolina is gone. they play like it is not gone and will keep spending hoping against hope. you cannot pull out of a state where you're holding your convention. when you're 20% of the people in the democratic primary voted for somebody voting for someone other than barack obama, the party is in disarray. there were a lot of new south independents who are racial moderate economic conservatives who think this would be good for our country. this time, they are saying, i like him, we did the right thing, but he did a lousy job on the economy. he is not a fiscal conservative. it will not be voting for him. i feel good about virginia. i feel good about the state. that is not to say any of these are settled. i think it will flow back in. the two are ohio and florida. here is the nation as a whole. here's the nation into d

obama began his presidency with an apology to her. america he said dictated to other nations. no, mr. president, america has freed other nations from dictators. [applauding] every american -- [chanting "u.s.a."] every american was relieved that a president obama gave the order and seal team six took out usama bin laden. [applauding] on another front, every american is less secure today because he has failed to slow iran's nuclear threat. in his first tv interview as president he said we should talk to iran. we're still talking and iran's facilities are still spinning. president obama has thrown allies like israel under the bus even relaxing sanctions on israel's cuba. he abandon our friends in poland by walking away from missile defense commitments. but he is eager to give russia's president putin the possibility he desires. after the election. [booing] under my administration or friends will see more loyalty and mr. putin will see less flexibility and more backbone. [applauding] we will honor america's democratic ideals because a free world is a more peaceful world. this is the bipartisan foreign policy le

obama has been defining romney with negative ads and negative ads work. so he will be able to push back some. whether he should use that opportunity to go toe-to-toe on likeability, with obama i'm not so sure. >> i think she is saying empathy. >> i'm not sure that might play to obama's strength. he would do better to focus on his accomplishments as governor, keeping employment low, saving the olympics in utah, his business record success at bai . keep the focus on -- at bain. keep the focus on his accomplishments, let obama play the likeability game. >> it doesn't work, it has not work. we have heard enough about the olympics, i hate to bring up this subject, but franklin roosevelt when he died somebody was caught crying and the reporter said to him, did you know mr. roosevelt? he said i didn't know mr. roosevelt, but he knew me. >> dan, the embracing -- mediate the dispute, where do you come down on this? they are going to bring in testimonials all week to his business success, bane capital, romney did -- they want to bring out this record of success and
