the president say things about me and my policies and the if i were to coin a term it would be obama-loney. [ laughter ] >> jon: how can a guy that looks so much like don draper be so bad at writing ad copy. everybody loves about a lonism try for a neat no one likes obama's loaf. that's an insult. maybe they hit you back with pastram-ney. and counter back with about a barack-loaf. i think pun time is over. raise your gain. >> when mitt romney closed bain. i lost my health care. my wife become ill and there was nothing they could do for her. she passed away in 22 days. i do not think mitt romney realized what he has done to anyone. >> jon: that's what i'm talking about. don't dance around romney hood. obama-loney. mitt romney killed that guy's wife. who is full of obama-loney now white killer romney. take a bow super pac guy who made that ad. >> how can you imply that mitt romney and bain are to blame for that woman dying of cancer. >> my goodness we don't and would not. >> jon: how could you think so little of me. anderson cooper you are a cad and a bounder of highest order and i thank to

what is obama-loney supposed to even mean?s almost like if they were playing the dozens and romney's mama's joke was like your mom is a woman. and not very nice. it doesn't work. and it's not witty. i don't even understand what it means. >> nobody's tax is going to be raised. everyone gets a 20% tax cut. >> he's doing the same thing with the tax cut as he's doing with his own taxes. he's saying, just trust me, there's nothing bad here but i'm not going to tell you what my plan is. >> i think he's fine with the raks returns. he released the same amount as john mccain. >> no, he didn't. >> he has a second year coming out. >> no, no, no. john mccain in the senate released every year. as long as he was in the senate, every campaign, he released them all by the time he ran for president, he released two years and that was just to catch up. but the number of returns and disclosure on john mccain far exceeds anything we have gotten from mitt romney. >> same as ronald reagan. you know what's funny in all of this? >> same as ronald rea

and if i were to coin a term, it would be obama-loney.t's in contradiction to the truth, and it relates to everything from how m going to help the middle class to tax policy. he's simply saying things that are not accurate. >> for more, let's turn to joy reid, radio talk show host mark simone, and keli goff. great to have you with us tonight. mark, let me ask you, if mitt romney is going to claim that president obama is lying about his plan, why doesn't he release the specifics to prove that he's lying about the plan? >> that's a very good question. this tax foundation study is totally flawed. it's based on nothing. they have made up details that don't exist. if you go to jennifer reuben in the washington post, she asked a great question, why don't they call the romney campaign and ask them to fill in the details other than make up assumptions? >> he comes out saying the president is lying without giving specifics. >> we're in the middle of a campaign. you're supposed to exaggerate. if the original campaign was hope and change, the four y

>> if i were to coin a term, it would be obama-loney.ving up a dish simply in contradiction of the truth. >> but nothing quite as entertaining as this superpak ad. >> i'm a romney girl in a romney world. life is fantastic. it's fantastic. >> i met romney, let's go party. >> joining me to try to make sense of this is political satirist john fugelsang. >> she looks like st. pauly girl. but we know mitt doesn't go that way. it was a great week for attacks by politicians. it is robin hood in reverse but don't say romneyhood. that means the steal from the rich to give to the poor. and mitt didn't coin obama-loney. >> so mitt once again claiming credit for something he didn't do. >> a great week for unclever attacks by politicians. >> and avoiding anything that matters substantive at all. >> mitt sure is. he's gotten suckered into a debate with not the president but the heads of the democrat and senate. >> you want to go to harry reid right away. you want to just dive into this. >> you and i agreed on this last week but i've evolved. >> tell m

have a good morning. >> so obama-loney. romneyhood.y of killing a woman. >> where are they talking about the issues, about what the candidates are actually going to do? i didn't hear one thing that either one was going to do, and that is so frustrating to voters. >> well, it's a fine line i think between a pithy zinger that really gets at something a candidate is trying to do and name calling. >> we're not there yet? >> we probably are there. the romneyhood line was intended to say his tax plans would take from the poor and give to the rich or something like that. obamaloney i assume was intended to say the president is not telling the truth. but whether or not they are effective or meaningful has to doith whether or not they are getting at the deeper message that the campaign wants out there, as opposed to just sounding line playground taunts. >> does it work for one candidate more than the other? >> i don't think it works for anybody. it's so frustratingly negative, much more so than in the past. and very early. i don't really mind t

mitt romney responded to what he thinks about that lay belt he says it's obama loney if you can say thatver. >> thanks for that live report. we'll see you tomorrow. >> the democratic national convention is four weeks away. organizes want to make sure you're taking part whether there in charlotte or not. the dnc the mobile app will provide more ways for people to participate either in person or virtually. this includes live streams of convention speeches and suggestions on where you can eat this. comes after the release of mobile apps by the campaigns of president obama and mitt romney. >>> coming up all new for you at 6:00, a baby left outside a church right in our backyard. who found him and what police are telling us about it tonight. >>> we wear them to protect our heads? what doctors are using helmets to treat? at sleep number, individualizing your sleep is at the heart of every innovation. with the sleep number bed, it's not about soft or firm. it's about support where you find it most comfortable. the magic of this bed is that you're sleeping on something that conforms to your indi

and if i were to coin a term it would be obama loney. >> reporter: and there's more. this new ad from the romney campaign. >> under obama's plan you wouldn't have to work and wouldn't have to train for a job. they just send you your welfare check. >> reporter: prompted a heated response today from the white house. >> let me say that this advertisement is categorically false and it is blatantly dishonest. >> reporter: things first began to reel out of control last week when senate majority leader harry reid actually went on to the floor of the u.s. senate to claim an unnamed source had told him romney didn't pay taxes for ten years while at bain capital. >> the word is out that he hasn't paid any taxes for ten years. let him prove that he has paid taxes, because he hasn't. >> reporter: romney has called reid out repeatedly most recently today. >> the message i gave harry reid was put up or shut up. i don't really believe he has any kind of credible source. >> reporter: but reid just as doggedly refused to divulge his source or back up his claim with documentation. and t

if i were to coin a term, it would be obama loney. >> how can a guy who looks so much like don drapere so bad at writing ad copy? everybody loves bologna. at least try for a meat nobody likes. o bali ve loaf and you counter with barack wufrt. >> it won't be long until he announces his running mate. it's a short list and stephen colbert wanted keith ellison of minnesota, a democrat to be ready if the call comes. >> for mitt romney said keith ellison, i want you to be my vice president. would you take it? >> no, sir. >> you say that now, you but you don't know what's going to play. let's roll play. ring, ring. ring, ring. >> hello. >> please hold for governor romney. ♪ >> keith. >> hey, how are you doing, sir? >> keith, ha ha ha ha ha. now then, keith. you know i'm running for president of the united states. >> yes, sir. >> well, it has been made clear that i need a vice presidential candidate and i was hoping that you would be mine. >> no, sir, i'm sorry i can't do it. >> keith, i'm very excited. thank you. we are going to be a great team. >> no, sir. >> ha ha ha ha. that's great. than

first, it was romney hood and obama loney. now president obama is accusing run on hatred.. issues, huh? the latest round started yesterday when the vice president joe biden made this comment about governor romney in virginia. owe said in the first 100 days is he going to let the big banks once again write their own rules. unchained wall street. [boo] >> they are going to put y'all back in chains. >> the vice president later said he meant to say shackles. since republicans talk about unshack ling businesses from regulations. carl cammeron streaming live on a bus tonight. oxford, ohio, where governor romney's running mate congressman paul ryan just wrapped up a rally, carl? >> we're riding the ryan bus here in ohio where he has just wrapped up his event. last night, mitt romney finally sort of gave republics the type of aggressive criticism of barack obama they have been clamoring for. he wrote his own speech. he went after the president. he went after joe biden and democrats. accusing them of a campaign of hate. listen. mr. president, take your campaign, division and anger

if i were to coin a team, it would be obama-loney, serving a dish in contradiction to the truth relating to everything from how i will help the middle-class is tax policy. he simply is saying things that are not accurate. >>carl: so cue up the youtube match up. >>shepard: and what is up with the pick on vice president? >>carl: it is that time. mrs. romney will return from the olympics and that opens up the window. the spouse needs to be around when the would be nominee picks the running mate or announces. we know from mitt romney himself because some of the people have gotten speaking engagements that does not necessarily disqualify him. last night it was revealed by the republican national committee that jeb bush will be a speaker at the convention and it was report add various right of other would get speaking engagements and it will not disqualify them. he said don't think for a second we would not be dealer enough to come up with ways to throw people off the scent. so, a variety people would have been given speaking engagements, including rick santorum, his formal rival, still on the

the other day it was romney hood and obama loney, and then an attack over welfare for obama and romneyfinger pointing is everywhere on the airwaves and online, and watch this latest spot from a conservative group affiliated with the romney group that targets the latino vote. >> don't be fooled by president obama's words, he is not committed to the immigrants. obama has deported more people than any other president in the country's history. >> some pretty tough stuff, and so let's bring in rafael romo who has been dig og ging into t ad. and this really goes after president obama about the stance on immigration. and give us a fact-check, true or false? has president obama deported more people than ever before? >> well, kate, it is some numbers by the department of homeland security, and yes, it is in fact true. if you look at the numbers for the deportations for the last three years, you will see that the president's administration has deported shy of 400,000 people every year, and if you go back to 2007, the last year of the bush administration, there was about 80,000 less deportations

>> i think i'd have to agree with governor romney when he called that obama-loney.ch from someone making these remarks. i think, you know, at the end of the day it's clear that governor romney will not raise taxes on any americans and, in fact, i think the tax center, independent tax center, found that president obama's plan would actually, in fact, raise taxes and have raised taxes on americans. that's the bottom line. it is a complete fabrication to say governor romney will raise taxes on americans. he will not. >> let me throw you one, ben. a different issue. harvey weinstein threw a big star-studded fund-raiser for the president, whopping $40,000 a ticket last night. yet despite all this, he's still being outfunded by mitt romney who's raising a lot more money. if mitt romney continues to raise considerably larger funds than you guys do, then he could do to you what he did to his republican nominee rivals which is blow them out of the water financially. >> let me take just one second to respond to what tara said. a nonpartisan report came out last week that said

and if i were to coin a term it would be obama loney. serving up a dish which is simply in contradiction of the truth and t relates to everything from how i'm going to help the middle class to tax policy. is he just simply saying things that are not accurate. >> >> shades of newt gingrich who accuse mitt romney once of pias bologna, we now have slogan for slogan with less than 13 weeks before the election day, shep. r ithepard: carl, the today for welfare as well. >> that's right. mr. romney is attacking president president obama for executive action taken in july in which the health and human services department suggested that t it was possible that there might be a waiver of work requirements in the 1996 clinton welfare reform, welfare to work law. this is a little bit of mr. romney now talking about what he says is president obama's attempt to gut that program. >> i hope you understand that president obama just the last few days has tried to reverse that accomplishment by taking the work requirement out of welfare. that is wrong, if i

if i could coin a term, it out of bounds obama-loney. >> it's pathetic, isn't it? >> you wonder how many people in a room conspired to come up with that brilliant -- >> this is not the white house correspondence dinner. you're not slow jamming with jimmy fallon. this is now a serious business. we are within three, four months of the election. people have to decide who's going to run the bigger super power in the world and all they're doing is cracking one-liner puns, coming out with poisonous attack ads. you wonder where is the big picture? where is the leadership america is crying out for? do you see or hear a vision for america? >> at least obama actually has policies that we know. some of them may be popular, some of them may be unpopular. one thing romney is doing is not coming up with specific policies about anything. so there's no big picture from them at all. and from obama, you know, the descent into romney hood is stupid anyway. as a slogan, it doesn't work and conveys the wrong message. >> the one area i would love to hear from both of them about is guns.

if i were to coin a term twould be obama-loney.e is serving a dish which is simply in contradiction of the truth and relates from everything from how i am going to help the middle class to tax policy. he is saying things that are not accurate. >> sean: it goes back and forth. joining me with analysis, stuart varny and the co-host of the ever popular "the five." >> okay. >> sean: i got it. dana perino. let's look at had he is saying here. it is just not true. >> it's factually, totally inaccurate. i think that liberals believe if you get something here, it's taken away there. they think that the cake is always the same size, that if i reslice it a gain for one is an absolute loss for another. the president is flat-out wrong. he says, if you pay -- the middle class is asked to pay more in taxes so you can give money to the rich. that's nonsense. >> sean: but as much as we pay attention to the fact that romney and surrogates -- obama and surrogates refer to romney as a felon who didn't pay taxes for 10 years, who doesn't like women, i

and if i were to coin a term it would be obama-loney. he serving up a dish which is simply in contradiction of the truth. it relates to everything from how i'm going to help the middle class to tax policy. he simply is saying things that are not accurate. >> well, the robin hood theme, the president introduced last night, has gone out there on the web and lots of people are talking about it. look at this. site called men generator has a romney hood page. here it is. romney hood takes from the poor ask gives to the rich. tax breaks for me but not for thee. sherwood forest, where are all the trees? all the trees, i should say, are all the right height. playing off another number there. when you look at the numbers here, guys, it is true. if you are going to cut everybody 20%, look at what happens. say you are in the 35% bracket right at the top. that means you saved $70,000 off a million bucks. in the lower bracket you don't get a 7% tax cut and get like a 2% tax cut. 20% off of 10% in the lower rate is 2%. 20% off of 35% gets you down to

turns out this week is making romney-hood and obama-loney high brow language from a lincoln/douglas debateit was supposed to be a real debate about the real contrasts in this campaign and real issues. instead, we are seeing attacks reach a whole new level. vice president joe biden started a chain reaction with these remarks tuesday while he was in virginia. >> he's going to let the big banks once again write their own rules. pun chain wall street! they are going to put you all back in chains. >> meanwhile, mitt romney was facing -- actual scrutiny over his vp pick and his policies? so last night in ohio romney just couldn't wait to change the subject. >> this is what an angry and desperate presidency looks like. his campaign strategy is to smash america apart and then try to cobble together a 5 1 of the pieces. mr. president, take your campaign, the vision, anger, hate back to chicago and let us get to rebuilding and reuniting america. >> but undeterred, the obama camp kept right on hitting at what is the issue and that's romney's push to lose regulosen regulation regulations. >> they beli
