if it does at all given the fact that people are focused inwards on jobs in the race for the white house? i think it plays very well simply because it s a consistent message that mitt romney has had from the beginning about spending, about creation of debt and the weight of debt on the back of the american taxpayer. so you heard him say several times, you know, i m not looking to bail out europe. as the president, we re not going to put in policies that would require our banking system to underwrite or somehow support their banking system. so i think that that s very important message for the american people to hear, that we are focused as you said, mika, closer to home and our own bank accounts, own worries and knowing at least mitt romney and maybe president obama to some extent, but certainly mitt romney is very clear and adamant about making sure there s a bright line between where the water s edge is from what we are able to do and will do with the european crisis unfolding th
those views? oh, i think mitt romney was a successful governor of massachusetts and i think he has the potential to be a successful president. i want to make this point, you don t leave a party simply because you re not going to vote for the nominee for president. i didn t decide to leave the democratic party simply because i decided if i wasn t going to vote for barack obama, it s because i feel more comfortable aligning myself with republican party. let me bring michael steele into this. but first, let me just michael, jump in after he answers to this, here s what jeb bush, do you consider him a good, kind of he s someone i admire a great deal. yeah. he says, ronald reagan would have based his record of finding a combination, finding some degree of common ground, as would my dad, they would have a hard time if you define the republican party and i don t, as having an orthodoxy that doesn t allow for disagreement, doesn t allow for finding some common ground. back to my da
about the fund-raiser at sarah jessica parker s house in greenwich village, 50 paid $40,000 each, $2 million hall. a fallollow up headed by maria carey to which the president dipped in, double dipping in manhattan s waters to maximize their catch and let s go to the graphic, frank goes on to write we have romney ignoring donald trump s attention mon guring attentions about obama s birth place in return for fund-raising help including a 63rd birthday lunch for ann romney on the 66th floor of trump tower in april. the equest yen themed cake was an edible ann on an edible horse. the tally was reported $600,000. we have both romney and obama campaigns soliciting donations by promising to enter donors in lotteries for dinner with the candidate and one or more of his celebrity boosters and he have
jo i m honored to second the nomination of the man whose victory tonight takes us closer to becoming what we know america can be, ladies and gentlemen, this is the cause for which we stand. an american president named barack obama, who will lead and inspire the free world. my fellow democrats, my fellow americans, i have never seen a moment like this, i have never seen a sense of urgency like this, as our next president has said, from the places in america where people hurt, to the places where people dream, our time is now, our time is now. that was former democratic congressman artur davis, seconding the nomination of barack obama as the democratic presidential candidate in 2008. what a difference four years makes. artur recently announced his switch from democrat to
and you know what, i can see the argument for that, until mitt romney waffles around on answering the question on whether he would repeal it, five times. so who s playing politics if obama is, that s one thing, but mitt romney, plug the same game not answering that question. would you not agree. the president showed leadership and answered the question. this is a policy challenge and one that i believe that the obama administration is has tried to address, but they ve been blocked and thwarted by this congress. the president had it within his power to do it. now mitt romney when given an opportunity and a chance as you would hope you have in politics to answer yes or no about a policy decision at this stage of the game it seems a little particularly when he was so definitive in the primary when he made it clear he was in support of how i don t know how you can be in support of something called self-deportation. i m not thinking someone is going to self-deport unless they
