susan mcginnis is in washington with more. susan, good morning to you. >> reporter: terrell, good morning. yeah, more attack ads are getting ready to hit voters today. the obama campaign is trying to use romney's record on jobs, specifically, overseas american jobs, to try to tell voters that he's not the right one to fix the job market. the romney campaign is fighting back. starting today, the obama campaign goes after mitt romney in ads attacking his record on outsourcing at bain capital. >> just last week, it was reported that governor romney's old firm owned companies that were pioneers -- this is not my phrase, but how it was described in the report -- pioneers in the business of outsourcing american jobs to places like china and india. >> reporter: on "face the nation," a romney campaign adviser said bain capital helped companies grow. >> what you have are companies that are expanding in to new markets. we should be encouraging that, not attacking that, and this is just another assault on free enterprise by president oba

susan? >> yes. i also wanted to mention around this interprofessional collaboration which is the foundation of care coordination and the infrastructure being that was being mentioned down there. there are some things that are happening and some of this can be pushed from the public side and some of it is being pushed from the private side. so on the private side you have foundations like the commonwealth fund, for example, that has done work on the mary naylor and eric komen but also trying to get people trained in that. i think that's really important. people that are already out, there not just the new students, that are really very critical. and there's the robert johnson foundation which is critical. aarp working on future of medicine, future of nursing work with a high, high priority on interprofessional collaboration. we have 49 states with action coalitions, many of which are making this a high priority across the state, across different disciplines. it's very, very challenging. we know there

ladies first, susan.egorize the president's announcement position, how many parts principle driving policy? >> six months before an election, everything is political. and this does the president a lot of good with the important voter group. on the other hand, it is completely consistent with the dream act that he said he would sign. this doesn't go as far as the dream act and doesn't provide a path to citizenship, but it provides something for the young people brought here illegally as children who followed the rules, went to school, some served in the military. it gives them a way to get work permits to stay in the country. so i think politics and principles kind of mesh on this one. >> dana, do you think come election night we'll be pointing back to the day the president announced this as being pivotal to him winning some key states? >> i don't think so, alex. because this election is going to be decided almost entirely by the economy. but if that makes it a very close election, and it is just, you know

. >> let me send this over to susan, mcdonald's, coca-cola, nike. they're likely to rein in if there's more turmoil in europe, what do you think? >> it's important to keep it in perspective. so, the u.s. economy, you'll actually with gary, the u.s. economy is not driven by exports. and we only export 10% of our-- gdp to 10% of exports. and versus consumption driven consumption and demand. the percentage that comes from europe and great britain is only like 2%. jonas, we haven't heard from him yet. >> these are great points for people who are rational. in a panic, don't care about the exports, the last few collapses of country and russia, soviet union defaulted on a little bit of debt, that was a big deal on the financial markets and the economy. and i believe thought it was a default on some debt. it doesn't take a lot to cause a worldwide panics we've written off greece and it would have to spread to other countries. the u.s. economy is weak, not in a reception, but it's weak, we can't take the entire european euro area and go into a deep, deep rec

. >> susan? >> less a master stroke and more an indication of how worried obama is about his election prospects. because he has lost really the white, blue collar vote he desperately needs. he needs to pick up somewhere else. he needs to pick up his base and drum up support. hispanic voters are increasing at least by 2 million this year, it is still less than 9% of the vote. he really needs to drum up more support from the rest of his base if it is going to have a big impact. again this is a sign he is desperately worried about his reelection process. >> the 2 million of voting population or population? >> right now there is fewer than 22 million voters who are hispanic who are expected to vote in the 2012 election. that is less than 9% of the overall vote. he still has to make up for that somewhere. >> paul? >> two things. first of all it shored up his greatest weakness with latinos, which was enthusiasm. he is going to get a huge share of the vote, the question is will they come to the polls. h
