willard mitt romney says he won't be a president of deception.dd statement from a man who plays loose with the facts day in and day out, a man who has made twisting the truth the benchmark of his campaign. so i've decided to break out the willard meter. we're going to judge romney's statements on a scale of 0 to 4 willards. zero means he's telling the truth. four means, well, he's really, really not telling the truth. and we're ready to try it. let's start with governor romney's speech today. >> if i'm the president of the united states, we're going to stop this out of control spending, this prairie fire of debt. >> that's a two willard. sure, you might help the debt fire, but it would be hard when you're pouring gasoline on it. your tax cuts would add over $2.5 trillion to the deficit. let's try another. >> 3 1/2 years in as president with america in crisis, with 23 million people out of work or stopped looking for work, he hasn't put forward a plan to get us working again. >> well done. 4 out of 4 willards. really, the president doesn't have a

lately willard mitt romney's team has had a little trouble with spelling. rolled out an app with a better amercia. now they're offering a sneak peek at one of their as. not a peek as in a look at, a peak, p-e-a-k like a mountain top. i have flubed or word or two in my career, this election is about something bigger. it's about the role of government believing that government can help people, that it can be a force for good, that people who work doing people's business, the public sector, are key to making this nation great, that's what president obama believes. on the other side you have willard mitt romney, a candidate with a disdain for those working in government. >> we will stop the unfairness of government workers getting unfair pay and benefits. >> we have 145,000 more government workers under this president, let's send them home and put you back to work. >> sen them home, who? what a jobs plan that is. teachers are government workers, so are firefighters, and police officers. you want to send them home? the truth is republicans want to cut, cut, cut.

. >> i want to close tonight by talking about why willard mitt romney should hold a pot luck. ome of willard's california neighbors are not happy about him leaving near by and plans for his renovation of his home. one local says she's worried about the nightmare of instruction. others don't like the giant suv parked and blocking all incoming traffic. so i think willard should host a pot luck. first, willard, be sure to talk about the trees. >> it seems right here. the trees are the right height. >> next, don't brag about your plans for an underground mansion and elevator for your car. >> tell you what, $10,000 bet? >> be careful not to ask personal questions. >> hi, how are you,ly shake your hand away anyway. you don't have your make up on yet, good to see you. >> and we know you don't have the best track record with dogs. if a neighbor's dog gets loose, don't let it get in front of a car or on top of one. and lastly, don't insult what people bring to the pot luck. >> i'm not sure about these cookies. they don't look like you made them. >> no. >> no, they came from the local 7-

jeb bush, and current presidential nominee willard mitt romney. leaders in the republican party, but what does it mean to be a leader in the gop today? on tuesday, mitt romney attended a fundraiser in las vegas with donald trump. he continues to raise questions about whether the president was born in america. here is romney's weak response when he was asked about the comments. >> i don't agree with all of the people that support me, my guess is they don't agree with everything i believe in. >> that's just a lack of leadership. today, he did it again. >> i disagree with it. i think -- there is no question that the president was born in the united states of america. i don't go around telling all my supporter what they should think or say, but he knows what i believe about this. >> this is a man unwilling to stand up to attacks on president obama just so he can get votes from the extreme right wing fringe. today, jeb bush struck a very different tone against far right orthodoxy. remember last year's debate when they refused a deal that would cut $10 i

. >> that was willard mitt romney talking about his love of france.of his life. remember this olympic video. [ speaking french ] >> there is another reason he loves france, it helped him avoid serving in vietnam. in the late '60s, he avoided the draft. it was one of four deferments that kept him from the war. that's interesting right? because he participated in protests supporting the draft and the vietnam war. that's him right there. when ram any ran for president decades later, he was quoted assaying i longed in many respects to actually be in vietnam. if you long to be in vietnam, getting four deferments is an odd way to show it. why is this all important? romney is talking pretty tough about sending americans off to the kinds of wards that he managed to avoid. he increased defense spending by 2.1 trillion dollars. and he said this about president obama's decision to withdraw from iraq. >> the president's failure to secure an agreement, and maintain 10,000 to 30,000 troops has to be a signature failure. >> back with me is david corn, a washington b

tonight's lead, willard mitt romney has a jobs problem. and we saw it on full display today. it's not exactly a new problem. for months now he's been arguing that he is the man to fix this economy. that he could bring us back from the brink. that he was leading because this president made things worse. >> when he took office, the economy was in recession. and he made it worse. and he made it last longer. >> he didn't create the recession, but he made it worse and longer. he did not cause this recession, but he made it worse. >> that was romney's argument. and he was sticking to it. except he soon found out it wasn't the best strategy. >> i didn't say that things are worse. >> wait. didn't we just play this clip? >> he did not cause this recession, but he made it worse. >> that's what i thought. romney repeatedly blamed president obama for making things worse until this little slipup. >> isn't it a hard argument to make if you're saying, like, okay he inherited this recession and took a bunch of steps to turn the economy around and now we're seeing more jobs but vote against h

a vision that stands in direct opposition to that of willard mitt romney. a man who made millions in junk bonds who always made sure the cards were stacked in his favor. and who profited by sending jobs overseas. >> it was reported that governor romney's old firms were pioneers in outsourcing jobs to china and india. they tried to clear this up by telling us there's a difference between outsourcing and offshoring. that's what they said. you cannot make this stuff up. what governor romney and his advisers don't seem to understand is this. if you're a worker whose job went overseas, you don't need somebody trying to explain to you the difference between outsourcing and offshoring. you need somebody who's going to wake up every single day and fight for american jobs and investment here in the united states. that's what you need. that's why i'm running. >> this president's right. word play means nothing to someone who's seen their jobs leaf the country. in a few minutes we'll talk to a woman whose job has been outsourced by bain capital. she and 169 of her coll

and that's certainly true for willard mitt romney.get this picture of willard and his posse, the old bain gang, back in 1984? but they were his buddies back then, and they're still standing by his side. this man has given romney almost $780,000 for all his political campaigns. this fella served as governor romney's secretary of administration and finance. and this guy is still one of romney's best pals. and one of his most trusted political advisers. and who could forget about another bain buddy who told the new york times we should have more inequality in america. he said quote, the wealth concentrated at the top should be twice as large. and having a small elite with vast wealth is good for the poor and the middle class. these are willard's people. the 1%. they help make him what he is today. they help form his world view. and what a bad view that would be for the country. romney supports the paul ryan plan which could devastate the middle class. a new report shows americans making between 50 and $100,000 a year would have to pay al

remember when willard mitt romney couldn't stop praising bill clinton.as running as a democrat. well, somehow i don't think he's going to be name dropping the former president any more. not after clinton's blistering attacks during a series of obama fund-raisers last night. >> his opponent who says that he's got a better idea was a governor of a state that was 47th in the country in job growth, and his plan, his plan, is to go back to the bush program. except on steroids. >> former president didn't stop there. he took the whole gop to task. >> he's had to get all this done while people as recently as last week were still saying he wasn't born in america. he's had to get all this done with a house of representatives that had one of the tea party members claim that 78 to 81 members of the democratic caucus were members of the communist party and neither the presidential nominee nor any of had leaders rebuked him for saying that. nobody has seen a communist in over a decade. >> and then president obama came out to make it clear he's not going to stop fighti
