in new york, ron christie and here in washington, julian epstein. ron, what does it mean the retire retroactively? can you break that down for me and the rest of america? >> good afternoon. i think i can. what governor romney did is that he elected to go on a leave of absence to go return the olympics in february of 1999. something similar to what he had done when he went to run against is that right ted kennedy in a previous position. he decided since he was going to hopefully return to bain capital, he said i'm not going to return to my part time or full time status. instead, i'm going to retroactively elect to not come back. this is really a slight of hand the president and his campaign are running as if governor romney were show in charge of bain. "the boston globe" who wrote a book on governor romney said he left in february 1999, i think this is more of a political statement. >> the slight of hand is not obama's, but it is romney's because if you retire, you retire. you put the date out there. you cease to be paid, but when you retroactively re

national urban league ceo and ron christie. lemen, welcome back. >> hey, tyler. >> jobs and the white house. can president obama recover from this jobs report? pretty dismal and dismal quarter or can romney move ahead? ron, you go ahead. >> i think president obama has a lot to be concerned about, tyler. i think this is the 41st month in a row where unemployment is above 8%. the president coming in to office assumed that his economic policies if we had a $800 bec e billion stimulus to here in 2012 the president told us that unemployment would be at 6%, so it's a very, very sobering report. one that shows that so many millions of americans are out looking for work and aren't getting the full-time employment they're looking for and gives governor romney an opening. >> mayor? >> you have 26 straight months of private sector job growth and bhil no one is happy with the current unemployment situation, directionally, there is job growth. it's not fast enough. it's not strong enough. and not enough jobs are being created. but part of th

ron christie, good to have you back on the program, john fugelsang, always.t about these comments? it's almost as if these people at these fund-raisers are talking down hard working middle classers. >> i don't think so. to coin the phrase that john mcenroe, come on ed, you can't be serious for the obama folks to criticize mitt romney for raising money this week, i look to anna wintour. she went to sarah jessica's place in new york and raised a ton of party. to suggest that obama is out of touch is a nice bit of political theater but they all do it. >> every candidate raises money. it's about the attitude of the 1% who are attending mitt romney's fund-raisers, people contributing to this. the egoism and arrogance of these people to suggest that somehow the rich know better than the rest of america, that to me is a representation of the class warfare that republicans are always crying about. >> only in this case. >> it's only class warfare if you fight for the bottom 99% of the population. i will no idea days i buchanan from the great gatsby was a romney suppor

ron christie, always good to have you back, and john, always. ron, i have to ask you first, what about the comments? it's almost as if these people at the fund-raisers are talking down the hard working middle classers. >> i don't think so. to coin a phrase john mcenroe used to say, come on, ed, you can't be serious. for them to criticize governor romney for raising money, i look at anna wintour, she went to sarah jessica parker's and raced money. >> it's not just about raising money. every candidate raises money. it's about the attitude of the 1% attending mitt romney's fund-raisers, contributing to this. the irotism to suggest that the rich know better than the rest of america, that to me is an example of the class war fare. >> it's only class war fare if you fight for the 99%. i had no idea daisy buchanan was a supporter, but it's not about conservative versing liberal. six states will decide the election. is he supposed to run on his personality or his record? he has to raise the super pac money, flood the states with negative ads. knl is it a
