[ light laughter ] i zinged ya. >> you zinged me. >> i zinged ya. >> you zinged me. >> i zinged you. >> i got zung. i tell you what, you know, mitt, it's been real, it's been fun. but it has not been real fun. >> ha-ha-ha. i guess this is good-bye? >> yep.

that means it's time -- prime season for stammers open to trick you out of your vote. we revert of letters going out to voters saying they're not eligible to go to the polls. now there are reports of phone calls that are just as bold. >> once it started happening, i grabbed my mail and started jotting down progress on our water bill she took note of an unusual request coming from the other line. >> she told me i did not have to go and vote on election day, that i could vote right there over the phone. >> she said the woman calling sold her she was with the republican national committee. then the conversation stopped after she questioned the woman and all that was heard wallace a dialtone. but i got annoyed. >> bishop used the star 69 service not only to get the mystery caller's phone number but to call it back to get answers, but no luck. >> nothing. it doesn't accept incoming phone calls. >> we called the same number only to find it has been disconnected. bishop pass along information to police and the supervisor of elections. she says this is a first far. >> this is

al gore stammers. barack obama is cold. that kind of thing. >> i don't mean citizens and i don't mean members of our armed citizens and i don't mean southern whites. >> but, he has to do is reinforce the existing idea of who you are out there. >> the hotel california, you can check in, but you can never -- >> trust the staff with your valuables. >> that is true anywhere. >> but especially california, and j.k., north mexico. -- a.k.a., north mexico. >> is more about his turn, professorial facade. >> with me always is my and burk translator. after the recent town hall debate and the town halt -- the town hall debate -- >> i've got my sweater back. >> when you do make a joke, it has the risk of offending a lot of people. on the iran, most canadians do not care if they have offended you, and that is -- on the other hand, most comedians and do not care if they have offended you. that is where, it gives them strength. >> that is it for our newshour. thanks so much for watching. >> make sense of international news at bbc.com/news.

especially to account for the resolution contained strong and arguably unfair criticism eventually stammered bass propositions made to add a russian delegation stayed there with chairman said again that rush can bypass the pace.

the rule of brussels thousands of new crowd onto the streets of paris to demand an end to topple stammers that's plaguing the people. this and much more ahead for you after the break to stay with us. looking at some dogs you simply do not believe they come speak and goodness how they can wrong oh. it's an international sled dog race with those driving the dogs. coming from as far away as a strength in canada and the u.s. i come to russia and everybody is so very friendly they welcomed me with open arms and the scenery is so beautiful it's very much like a laska and so i felt at home the first sled dog was brought here from australia now let's try and come to this remote russian village to take part in the race it's not surprising they love it this trail are amazing but even more amazing is the story of how racing first started here atoll it wasn't the top. grazing who set the trail of place but a nun and for all friends who brought their dia to life. five years ago of a bill to dog kennel in the village kids from the local open h. came round to take care of the dogs and one day they state

and the president was stammering, unfocused.: sitting there watching this i could not believe anyone seeking to hold the office would have his head down not address his opponent. it was bad manners aside from everything else. >> i agree i was surprised how sharp he was. it was a great performance. but barack obama with plenty of the debates hillary and edwards drove the debates pushing forward. he did not engaged later he got better. >> have you ever seen a better debater? >> there have been. lou: i am curious. >> ronald reagan. lou: he lost in the first one. >> two out of three from walter mondale. lou: maybe this is a new level. i just want to see how stingy they are with their praise. i think he blew the doors off. >> he had the night of his life. he did. and barack obama i thought had been decent but not great. he does things well. debating is not one of them. lou: does he get better? >> no. he keeps the head down who are the lowlifes challenging me? i think that is the arrogance coming out. he does not seem to enjoy a the p

. >> while these pictures show the good times, they don't show the stammer who posed as a representativem mcdonald's. he used a fake check. >> it turned out he didn't work for mcdonald's. >> but he did use the tickets for themselves. >> he presented himself very well. we thought it was legitimate. >> this particular type of crime is becoming more common? >> it is easier. people can create fraudulent checks on the internet. >> if you are accepting a check from a stranger, ask to see a driver's license, address and telephone number. >> no one is immune. no organization or individual is immune. >> the volunteers had to eat the $500 loss at a time when fund- raising is not easy. >> every dollar is really important for us. >> we made mcdonald's where the situation and the company confirms it was a state check saying they are very disappointed to know someone would use their name and brand in this way. they say the mcdowells family of washington will make a $500 donation to the fire department. >> a good ending to that. if you have a story for seven on your side, we want to hear from you. the

. >> sean: i found the president stammering and on defense, mitt romney on offense. one moment interesting to me is when president obama couldn't explain his own debt. very a plan to reduce the deficit by $4 tril bin but given a $6 trillion in new debt. i wasn't sure that worked well for him. >> if you noticed mitt romney able to point out many things like that. promise that's barack obama had made for instance he said as a candidate he would cut the deficit in half and more than doubled the did he have it and added trillions to our already-mind boggling debt drowning this country. mitt romney able to point out many of the points many of us in the audience have been longing to hear barack obama be questioned about and have to give answers. barack obama did not have answers tonight. do you know why? he didn't have his buddy, the teleprompter in front of him writing out someone had written out for him in all of the years of being a candidate and the president. the answers. he finally had to be candid and rely on his own knowledge about how the economy works to answer t

and obama stammering, stambling, without that teleprompter, this guy is lost.s is a myth that was shattered last night. he was reduced in 90 minutes, before the american people, i felt. >> yeah. that's because romney had a clarity of purpose, a clarity of mind, a clarity of principles that we know that obama has lacked for a long, long time. i think that going forward now, there is now an extra burden on these liberal journalists to do-- >>> not going to happen. >> a lot of the left thought that jame lehrer failed at. i think that's what romney and ryan vato brace for. there will be a town hall format. from my recollection of covering the last several election cycles, where they have the town hall formats, they have been stacked. they have been stacked by liberal journalists and we have this liberal debate commission. i think going forward, that has to change. but the liberal journalists are going to want to prove their own cred. >> sean: they are dying to say, come back. it doesn't matter what happens. i can name the names and what they will say, in regards to

we know that the administration seemed to stumble and stammer throughout that -- throughout the early details and romney did the same thing with his early jump to get a press release out trying to capitalize ploliticaly off of this. is that the great problem of a four-year administration that warrant the criticism that the obama administration is weak and failed? >> i don't think so it is. the argument that the republicans put forward is a very, very weak one. the headline out of the speech today, the headline tomorrow is syria. that's the only place where there's a little bit of daylight -- substandard. >> andrea mitchell made the poir point we don't know what's happening to help the rebels. governor romney would be more up front with giving them weapons and helping and assisting the rebels. we don't know what's going on. >> there's enough reporting to suggest that isn't taking place. words do matter. if you have a presidential candidate saying up front i will arm these people, that has consequences. some of those are very dangerous consequences, and so perhaps by promising it this e

zingers but we know, for example, just on the tax loophole question, that paul ryan stumbled and stammered through when on fox news yesterday, there are openings available but the problem, at least that we're hearing, chris, from the obama team, is they're worried his answers will be too long and not crisp and concise. >> well, you know, having watched the president both when he was a candidate for president and as a candidate in the primaries, he's -- he has a tendency to filibuster his answers and kind of -- they kind of meander. i think his debate team is advising correctly to keep things focused and tight if you have a debate format where there's no time limits. the bigger question here is, if the romney campaign is truly focused on zingers, this could be be a debacle. because i can tell you having dundee bait preps, that -- having done debate preps i don't care how gifted they are, to time the moment to do the zinger. usually they force it and it comes across awkward and flat and a terrible reaction. successful debates and candidates who are successful pushing narrative, they push a v

romney was sweaty and fidgety and stammered quite a bit.he strategy was a very cynical and vacuous one as you point out. it's this idea he wants to get across he's not a crazy warmonger and that's all he needed to do. that's the only bar he needed to cross. i think the polls will show in a couple days that the american people want more substance than that, they want more character, they want more steadiness, more poise, a guy who is more in command of what's going on. i think the polls will show that it's just a matter of days, notwithstanding this false narrative that republicans are trying to give right now that they still have the momentum. >> john -- >> the momentum stopped. >> john, to julian's point, i mean, everybody that i have heard on this subject from the right has said that mitt romney did marvelously because he looked presidential. i mean, really? pierce brosnan looks presidential. daniel craig looks presidential. is that it now? >> he's looked presidential since 2008 when he first started running for president. that wasn't a b

moment for him and obama was vastly different than last time, he was much more aggressive and less stammering from obama earlier in 2008 when hillary clinton was consistently beating him in their early debates. >> i agree with al, absolutely, obama if you look across the polls probably had a four-point lead heading into the first debate across all of the polls, probably a one point lead heading into this debate, if, it is not over, everything about the economy and everything else suggests we are going to have a very close race but i was on your show two weeks ago and i thought romney easily won the first debate and i think, i would say obama significantly won this one not by the same margin, but significantly. >> rose: jon meacham. >> i don't know that i agree with the adjective or the adverb significantly. i think that the denver race, the denver debate transformed the race, i don't think this transformed it. and i think it has kept governor romney in the hunt and was, i think closer to a draw, at least to my ear closer to a draw on substance, i thought romney's gave about three, i think, st

the president stammered around on immigration. i mean, listen. i think what you gave the president a "b" minus and romney a "c." >> he's a tough grader. >> he is a tough grader. >> i don't want to be in your class. >> neither of these guys really blew it away last night. but the president did much better. but i don't think anybody tuning in that's uncommitted said oh, my gosh, barack obama has shown us the way to the promised land over the next four years. >> no, but to your point, though, joe, and to marry up one of your points to mark's point about, you know, people showed up, i think, wanting to know whether the president would have another bad performance. but i think more than that, the biggest question for a lot of voters is when they looked at that denver debate was, does this guy actually want to be president? >> right. >> is he actually willing to fight for his job? and i think that he answered yesterday pretty compellingly. he showed up and fought for his job. and mark actually raised this on the show yesterday. he fough

he was stammering. listen. >> this was not the decision -- of the president.s -- it was a consequence of steps that were taken by the company itself -- to rationalize the company -- so it could exist back. reporter: a short time later, he indicated that the president was involved in this. >> this policy that the president undertook was one that was designed to say that the -- the larger -- the larger universe of people rely on the auto industry? congress is planning to get to the bottom of this. right now, to bail out of the auto industry is the number one talking point for the obama campaign in both ohio and michigan. so the timing here is critical. megyn: joining me now for a fair and balanced debate is chris plante and julie radinsky. so it seems without getting too bogged down, the allegation is that the obama camp to step in to save the union workers and the nonunion workers pensions. although it was initially denied, it appears that that is what they did. david axelrod is sort of admitting that they did do something, but he says with some greater good in
