yes, i can talk intelligently, not just about the texas economy, but what the texas economy means for the u.s. economy. all this money that he raised, all $17 million of it, won't matter all that much if he cannot execute the basics of campaigning. and that's the base. he has to look presidential, he has to look up to the job, he has to look electable. because that's ultimately what republican primary voters are looking for, and it's why mitt romney has reemerged as the front-runner in a lot of ways, because he so steady and you can imagine him on a debate stage with president obama. >> and, in fact, mitt romney going after rick perry in florida on the social security question. that's clearly a vulnerability, particularly with so many retired folks in florida. >> and we've talked a lot about this, andrea, social security, rick perry standing by his phrase that it's a ponzi scheme. he's walked that back to say, look, if you're currently getting social security, we're not going to take that away from you, but the program needs to be reformed. mitt romney wants to make sure that the nuan

storyline he doesn't want to tell you, he wants to be talking about jobs, the jobs he created in texas it, economy in texas, instead, talking about a story with racial elements, obviously dang roux, heard herman cain, the african-american candidate in the field, and elect ability for perry, he is going to be running, if he can, against the first of a for president. this is not a minor issue in his campaign to take care of. >> chris cillizza with the daily fix. talk to you later about the the next 24. thank you very much. >>> president doesn't know hot had opponent will be left and chris matthews says the president can't decide to go left or center that is the subject of "hardball" to chris matthews is here with us now. >> andrea. >> this big show tonight, big players, let's talk about the debate, essential debate which with you say is a decision the president has to make long before he knows who his opponent is going to be. the republicans know what kind of a campaign they are going to run, don't know who is going to run it. going to be anti-obama, what the issue will be for them. the democrats kn

president obama joined our colleague michael smerconish on the radio today to talk about the economy, texas and efforts to restrict voting rights. michael smerconish joins us later. >>> finally, let me finish tonight with a night millions say they'll never forget. >>> we start with another victory for president obama on the war on terrorism. evan, nbc news terrorism analyst and richard wolfe is an msnbc terrorism analyst. how did we get him? >> we got him because of the fact after months of tracking this individual, after months of firing missiles at him fruitlessly, we got the right opportunity. there was a meeting that was taking place, it was not near a major populated zone, there wasn't the threat of civilian casualties, and it worked out. it was the right time and the right place. but there was a lot of work and there were a lot of failed efforts that led into this. >> how safer are we today, because we got him? >> well, here's the problem. anwar al awlaki didn't have an official title. he wasn't the leader, he wasn't the deputy leader. he was an adviser. so he assisted with recruiting

>> mitt romney, the main target as the eight presidential candidates faced off on the economy in new hampshire. texasernor rick perry talks about the plan. >> rodney care was obama care. rodney care driven the cost of small business, insurance premiums up by 14%. we have the lowest number of kids as a percentage uninsured of any state in america. you have the highest. >> perry, like michele bachmann had seen his popularity tunnel. political animal. >> consequence has been that mitt romney is starting to look more reasonable by comparison. >> with perry lagging third in the polls, herman kaine soared to second. also questioned romney. >> can you name all 59 points in your 160 page plan? >> to pullet america on the path to become the most creative plages, it's going to take someone who knows how to do it. it's not one thing, it's a number of things. >> he hasn't faced the tough scrutiny as the other candidates. >> i guess it's going to be with him. the long-term knock will be lack of running a campaign. >> since some moved up their primary so they could start around new year, romney gets a new edge. >>

texas. >> spoken with experience. jonathan, rick perry today is trying to get us all to focus on the economy. k points out unemployment in texas is now on the rise. what is this big claim for this jobs plan? is there any merit? >> it is important to look at plans to keep the campaign substantive. the problem with the plan is it is a bad one. we have china, for instance, moving very aggressively toward a green energy economy. we should just forget about it, the most promising technology in the world, then go back to oil and gas. it is fine to do some additional drilling, but he wants to turn over the national parks for this. >> he mentions yellowstone, says he wouldn't do it there. >> that's fine. the other huge problem is he wants to dismantle the epa and turn over responsibility to the states. think about that for a minute. what that means is a race to the bottom. if you're a big polluter and realize you can't pollute in illinois or new jersey, you say let's go to texas. that might be good for texas, but not good for united states. he is not running for president of texas. >> the other thing

republican candidates are going to pivot from criticizing the president's iraq policy to the economy and jobs today. texas governor rick perry is going to be unveiling his new plan to try to create jobs and fix the economy. really it's an effort to get noticed above herman cane in his 9-9-9 plan. but governor perry is being noticed for an interview he did over the weekend with "parade" magazine in which he revived the birther issue. the question of whether president obama was born in the united states. perry had dinner with donald trump. they talked about the issue and the interviewer asked governor perry do you believe president obama was born in the united states. he said, quote, well, i don't have a definitive answer. perry can't afford. that his numbers are down. support dropping from 30 some percent down to 16. marla? >> brian, thank you. the it is 5:42. i want to update you when it comes to the morning commute. a lot of green so far, mike. >> that's good news. you are an expert. green means go. but this mines there's a disabled vehicle on the southbound of 101. we'll watch as crews try to clear that

texas. the economy and jobs the top issue on americans' minds.he voting in iowa. the caucuses there kick off the primary caucus calendar. rick perry trying to get his mojo back and raise those poll numbers. >> another problem, his campaign kind of hinted that he was going to start skipping some of the debates. not the case anymore. >> not the case. an update from last week. remember when he campaign said maybe they won't be going to all those debates anymore? his poor performances in a lot of those debates were the reasons for his declines in the polls. but the candidate himself saying he will go to all four debates scheduled in november. go to the calendar quickly. first one on november 9th, the cnbc debate in michigan on the economy. then you've got a debate, a cnn debate -- sorry, a south carolina debate on the 12th, a cbs debate. a cnn debate on the 22nd of november. this is a foreign policy, national security debate. and another cnn debate on november 30th in arizona. arizona becoming a power player in primary politics, they're moving up the

we have done that in the 15th largest economy in texas over the past decade.rica is looking for a president who has a proven track record and the courage to do what this plan says. >> can you give us a postcard-sized answer on how your plan compared to the 9-n 9 plan and newt gingrich's plan. >> herman's plan doesn't have a value tax and a national sales tax. that's the biggest difference right there. americans do not trust washington, d.c. to have a new form of taxation. what they are looking for is simplicity and something that is flat. something that is fair. this plan addresses all of those. i think when you look at what we are talking about here from the stand point of getting americans confident and if there is a tax plan in place that will take care of their tax needs, if you will, this postcard is the way to do it. >> talking about making it option, does that add another layer? you look at the business that has for so many years and use the old system whether it was on a host of different issues and appreciations or whatever it is in the old system and

we have done that in the 15th largest economy in texas over the last decade and i think americans areooking for a president who has got a proven tax record and the courage to do exactly what this plan says. >> governor, can you give us a postcard size answer to how your plan compares to herman cain's 9-9-9 plan and newt gingrich's 15% flat tax cut. >> let me visit you about herman's plan. this doesn't have a national sales tax. that's the biggest difference right there. americans do not trust washington, d.c., to have a new form of taxation. what they are looking for is simplicity, they are looking for something that is flat. they are looking for something that is fair. this plan addresses all of those. so i think when you really look at what we're talking about here from the standpoint of getting americans confident that there's a tax plan in place, that will take care of their tax needs, if you will, this postcard is the way to do it. >> governor, is that just adding another layer to this tax plan? >> actually, it doesn't. the idea that you can pick and choose. you may be a business

while texas has had a very strong economy, he needs to take it out of the region. and he is presenting a plan on friday. i think you can look for him to unveil parts of his plan tonight in the debate. he's been debating, doing debate prep with a romney stand-in. he's been practicing very hard. i talked to a senior member of his campaign today who said they're taking it very seriously, they understand how high the stakes are. perry has done nothing but prepare for this debate. and i think you're going to see a different rick perry tonight, one who's more jocular, one who can take punches and land punches. i think they realize that this is do-or-die. >> michael, as jennifer is saying, rick perry needs to go after president obama, so let's focus on the incumbent, the president. he's in pennsylvania this hour, florida later today, talking about his jobs plan. it is in trouble in the senate. this morning's poll not a glowing recommendation. 42% approval in iowa, worse in new hampshire at 38%. how does he bring those numbers up? >> well, the president, thomas, is under w
