as for the president s daily brief, julie s argument makes absolutely no sense. she said president bush didn t pay enough attention to the president s daily brief before 9/11, yet she s defending president obama for spending even less time on it. that s not what i m doing. president bush had every day, six days a week, and yesterday president obama was supposed to have his presidential daily brief, but he canceled it and went to a political fundraiser in las vegas. so julie s attacking romney for a statement, but president obama goes to a political fundraiser, he has no time to meet with netanyahu, his intelligence briefers, but he has time for a political fundraiser in las vegas. i think that says i m not whatsoever, with all due respect, i m not saying the president does not read his daily intelligence brief if that s what you re accusing me of megyn: no, no, we know he does. yes, he megyn: the question is whether he sits down with his advisers, and he does that only 56%
business to do. reporter: he tried to fire up the crowd by attacking romney on a topic gets lots of attention right now. medicare. my plan reduces the cost of medicare by cracking down on fraud and waste and subsidies to insurance companies. their plan makes seniors pay more so they can give another tax cut to millionaires and billionaires. reporter: medicare also on mitt romney s mind as he headed to north carolina to fund-raise. earlier in the day he told cbs this morning, obama s plan would hurt medicare recipients. the president, when he was campaigning, in denver, colorado, four years ago, said that, that medicare was on the pathway to become bankrupt. and yet he is taking $716 billion from the medicare trust fund to finance obama care. reporter: the republican national committee echoed the criticism in a new ad on the web. what do you call $700 billion in cuts to medicare? the obama campaign calls it an achievement. reporter: romney said that he
about bain? absolutely. i think they are history, if there were any second guessing on this strategy. the president s campaign rolled out sort of an attack ad, attack line of attacks just a couple of months ago about bain and went very hard after romney s record there, arguing that he as private equity firm took over other companies and allowed them to die off in some cases. the reason the obama campaign feels so strongly about this, romney is obviously trotted this experience out as success at bain and helping other companies turning other companies around. sort of the core why he s ready to be president at a time of great fiscal crisis in the country. what obama said yesterday in tampa, romney is experienced at making money for himself and making money for his friends and wall street but not for the country at large. by attacking romney and bain and
creation fair game. is nonsense. we had over 100,000 jobs. created tens of thousands of jobs. thousands of jobs. hundred thousand. ridiculous. when you re president the president is about people. your job is not simply to maximize profits. it s not the same job requirement. all fair game. now we have some numbers to discuss. there s a washington post abc poll today. the president ahead of romney. 49, obama. candidate romney relied on him to come vote for him. a gender gab with mitt romney on the other side of that. i believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country. do i believe the supreme court should overturn roe v wade, yes. have to be careful. i am pro-choice.
money. when the company they get involved with fails, they still make money. it s legitimate. but folks, making money regardless of the consequences for the workers, the companies they ache wire tor the communities that get wasted is another question. now republicans like to note that some democrats are uncomfortable with the obama campaign mentions of mitt romney s record at bain capital. a new pro-obama superpac ads reminds republicans that some republicans do not share that discomfort. i happen to think that companies like bain capital could have come in and helped these companies if they truly were venture capitalists. but they re not. they re vulture capitalists. someone very wealthy comes in, takes over your company, takes all the cash and leaves behind the unemployment, that s not a model we want to advocate. governor romney has claimed
