it has to do with globalization, nothing do with obama, roey. it is obvious that obama cannot run on his record. he has a terrible four years behind him that he cannot stand up for, so what he does is distracting. the strategy is kill romney, a character assassination. on out towson, romney's defense is to say -- on outsourcing, romney's defense is to say you,. it is not only that you are outdoors in jobs, you taking money from americans inaxes wind and solar being made in china. if you want to talk about outsourcing, which is a preposterous subject in the first place, each as mitral charges at the other and that is why it is a ridiculous debate. -- each is going to roll charges at the other and that is why i just a ridiculous debate. >> i find myself on comfortably disagreeing with -- un mfortably disagreeing with colby uncomfortably disagreeing with charles street free trade is seen by a majority as costing jobs. when you are just indifferent to the fact that places like flint, michigan and ohio have been wiped out, and just say "that is part

if things are not going with obama, roey, as rick santorum would say, is not the guy to make the difference. >> yeah, but in november -- first, if these are the jobs numbers in october, then there's a significant problem. it's not very early, it's about halfway through. i mean, conventions are literally around the corner. we have olympics and then we have the conventions, and then it's game on and it's sort of race to the finish. but you're right in that june numbers are not the same as october numbers. but to a person, i mean, when you look at the polls, this income inequality narrative, which is really where obama's trying to go with the bain attacks, this is not what voters think about when they go to the polls. they think about, do i feel richer? do i feel poorer? wy go to the pump, do i feel richer? do i feel -- so it's going to be that feeling of confidence, as your chart pointed out, security, stability, you know, literally the day you go to the polls. >> there are some interesting findings, though, in some recent polls that have come out. and one basically asked, it measured economi

. >> let's watch the clip of mitt roey and diss3 pts wree tsoo a that includes obama care. and i'm going to work to reform and save -- [ audience booing ] >> now, tavis, you mouthed the word "stupid" there. >> you weren't supposed to say that on air. >> i wasn't sure if you were going to say it on air. thought i'd jump in first. everything's on air here, baby. >> i feel like robert blake now. got to be careful what i say around here. no, when i say stupid. this is the problem that candidates have oftentimes. the same can be said of obama, that can be said of romney. we all saw that picture a few months ago of the obama campaign staff in chicago. white, white, white, white. great conversation about why the president doesn't have more people of color around him running his campaign. it's one thing to beg black folks for their vote. who's running the operation? dr. west made the point any number of times. the advisers around him in the white house came directly from wall street. is it any wonder they look out for their friends on wall street. the same can be said of mitt romne

they said, oh, gosh, governor roey at bain capital closed down a steel factory. but their problem of course is that the steel factory closed down two years after i left bain capital. i was no longer there. so that's hardly something which is on my watch. >> the key development in today's story is the year, 1999. that's when mr. romney says he left bain to run the winter olympics in salt lake city. a number of news outlets uncovered filings with the securities and exchange commission which show him still on the corporate books through 2001. they list romney as ceo, president and managing director of bain capital. you can take a look right there. the question of course is did mr. romney exercise an active role at the time? was he actually making management decisions? or was this just some kind of clerical artifact of his leaving so suddenly? the romney campaign telling us, quote, the article is not accurate. as bain capital has said. as governor romney has said and has been confirmed multiple times. governor romney left bain capital in february of 1999 to run the o

so both of them agreed to things that mitt roey and the republicans on the hill in particular have notn willing to concede. >> well, if you remember, after the initially after when george bush agreed to that, there was a recession shortly thereafter and then once we got beyond that is when we saw 4% growth. let me go back to reagan. reagan's economic tax cuts didn't actually kick in until about '83 which is when we saw the economic growth. remember, he ripped off four consecutive quarters of 8% growth or higher. that's a remarkable difference. i'm sure the president at this point would be willing to accept george h. bush as four consecutive quarters of 4% growth. understand, this is a truly horrific situation and right now, his policies have done nothing to get us out of this. >> bill? >> you know, it's interesting, david brings up 1992. well, at this point in 1992, clinton was actually ahead by about 15 points. the challenger in that election. if you look at mitt romney right now, the reason that he's either a little bit behind or tied with the president is because the american people

video clip they pass around of governor roey endorsing exactly what was so controversial and republicansmney now promising to repeal it on his first day of office if he does end up occupying this building behind me, congressional leaders will vote on it first thing when they get back from the july 4th recess. they voted on itin the house of representatives. all sides now, even governors, republican governors, rick scott, scott walker, and today bobby jindal said they will not implement key provisions. that's the k they will simply ignore it for the time being. they think as a political calculations if they enact some of these things, they will provide a disincentive for people to fight against it. john boehner said about his plans to repeal about the obama health care law. >> this has to be ripped out by its roots. this is government taking over the entire health insurance industry. the american people do not want to get on this path. they don't want the government telling them what kind of insurance policy they have to buy and how much they will have to pay for it. if you don't like it
