welcome back. this just in by lynn cheney, tweeting a picture of her home after just ten days after having a successful heart transplant. the obama re-election campaign is defending their candida candidate's record and pushing back against attack ads on the air waves. here's the latest response to the ads panning the president's energy policy. >> under president obama, domestic oil production is at an eight-year high. so why is big oil attacking him? because he's fighting to end their tax breaks. mitt romney stood with big oil for their tax breaks, attacking higher mileage standards and renewables. when you see this ad, remember who paid for it and what they want. >> joining me this morning is ben la bolt, the press secretary for the obama re-election campaign. nice to see you. we know the attack ads from republicans are going to be coming fast and furious, but the fact is gas prices are high.
