people seem to be very curious as to how we prepare for the debates. let me tell you what i do. first, refrain from alcohol for 65 years before the debate. [ laughter ] second, find the biggest available straw man and then just mercily attack it. big bird didn t even see it coming. [ laughter ] by the way, in the spirit of sesame street, the president s remarks tonight are brought to you by the letter 0 and the number 16 trillion. i never suggest that the press is biased. i recognize they have their job to do and i have my job to do. my job is to lay out a positive vision for the future of the country and their job is to make sure no one else finds out about it. i ve already seen early reports from tonight s dinner. headlines, obama embraced by catholics. romney die dines with rich people. steve: joining us for an instant review are entertainment
the armed services and always have. and question why mitt romney and the five sons haven t served as opposed to why didn t barack obama serve. tens of millions of very good americans choose to the to join the military. that is exactly right. whatever, there are progressives around the country right now that are throwing away their whoopi goldberg fan cards. she needs to apologize for the question. it was inappropriate, wrong. but look, i think ann romney handled herself brilliantly and beautifully in this interview. i think mary kathrine is exactly right, they could have asked questions they didn t ask, they gave her a lot of time to talk about her early relationship with mitt romney which sweet and tender. they talked about costco, the family dinners. it was also a puffy interview, come on. megyn: when you go on the view and you re running for office there are going to be some of those questions. thank you so much. coming up a doctor in a key swing state trying to rally colleagues a
happen to be one of them. [laughter] people seem to be very curious as to how we prepare for the debates. let me tell you what i do. first, refrain from alcohol for 65 years before the debate. [laughter] second, find the biggest available straw man and then just mess leslie attack it. big bird didn t even see it coming. [laughter] i learned that there are worst things that can happen to you on your anniversary than for getting to buy a gift. i was actually hoping the president would bring joe biden along this evening because he ll laugh at anything. [laughter] there were some moments where the humor got a little bit of a little bit biting. it seemed the campaign came right into the room, listen here. don t be surprised if the president mentions this evening the monthly jobs report where there was a slight improvement in the numbers. he knows how to seize the moment, this president. and already has a compelling new campaign slogan. you re better off now than you
second, find the biggest available straw man and mercily attack it. big bird didn t even see it coming. [laughter] by the way, in the spirit of sesame street, the president s remarks tonight are brought to you by the letter o and the number 16 trillion. [cheers and applause] campaigns can be grueling, exhausting. president obama and i are each very lucky to have one person who s always in our corner, someone who we can lean on and someone who s a comforting presence with whom we wouldn t be able to go another day. i have my beautiful wife ann. he has bill clinton. [laughter]
people like david gregory and other reporters validated her validation of that lie, except she got caught, has to walk it back, but walks it back by saying romney sean: didn t use the exact words. in the main he was right. what does that mean? now the same people validating her, now they ve got to walk it back. why can t you be honest in your answer? sean: the problem is the president in the rose garden never said banghazi was a terror attack. 14 days later, he s still not. anybody that runs interference for obama on this one issue is deliberately misleading the american people, sean. you can have a difference of opinion on different things, but the record is clear here. how many times must we go through it? six times at the u.n. speech. if the buck stops with hillary clinton, why when she was asked, who gave secretary rice the orders to do that, is her answer, you ll have to talk to her.
