endorsement endorses obama. that very same newspaper comes out and says president obama should be re-elected. and then go to utah. you would presume a stronghold area for mitt romney. surely he s going to carry the state. but there, big local paper says no, president obama has earned re-election. what do newspaper endorsements mean in a 121st century campaign? it would be easy to dismiss them to say they don t amount a whole lot, there s so much media out there, but i actually think for a lot of undecided voters, who you might call low information voters, their local paper is still a go-to source for what s going on. it s a trusted source, it s reporters they know, it s editors that they know. so it can mean something in a swing state to those voters who are kind of on the fence. i think it can make a dense. ari, 18 days to go and the
11%. president obama has gotten a little help from his friends on this one. democratic senator chuck shumer pushed a bill, but really it just required the secretary of the treasury to file a bunch of reports, analyzing chinese currency. it never even came to a vote in the house of representatives. but it was a very good way of showing the chinese how which is part of the game of playing tough with china. china does actually respond to the public pressure that senator schumer brings to the game and the public and private pressure that the obama administration brings to the game. so on monday night when you hear mitt romney once again say this.
architecture. i don t think they re going to go there. bringing it back though, look. mitt romney s classic debating position. we ve seen it two times already is not to offer up solution and to say i don t have to do anything. i just have to critique you. you re the president. so when people ask him what would you do about this or that problem. simpson bowles. he says i don t need to give you an answer. it s a bit like hearing his wife saying we don t need to give you those tax returns. you have all you re going to get. i was going to say, don t forget there is another vulnerability for governor romney and that is when we talk about trading and the goebl economy, president obama has a wonderful argument too make about who was it that was betting against the american economy, who was it part of shipping jobs overseas, putting money in foreign bank accounts, trying to obfuscate their responsibility to the united states and reduce their tax
they ve come up with an alternate theory of reality and i m sure they ll come up with some alternate theory of reality for monday s debate as well. i think it will be a mistake for president obama to spend too much time relitigating libya. because there are a number of studies that have shown, polls semi-recently that have shown the majority of americans are tired of war. they don t want more troops in afghanistan. we don t want more troops. they re wary of sending troops to syria, wary of troops in iran. so i think it s important for the president to press romney the n. in the way you saw biden press ryan. that is a death knell for romney. the americans don t want it. i think it s another way for obama to talk about how he has tried to change the nature of american foreign policy to be about multilateralism and not about cowboydy plomcy. let s look at president obama in the 2008 debate finding a way
mitt romney s classic debating position. we ve seen it two times already is not to offer up solution and to say i don t have to do anything. i just have to critique you. you re the president. so when people ask him what would you do about this or that problem. simpson bowles. he says i don t need to give you an answer. it s a bit like hearing his wife saying we don t need to give you those tax returns. you have all you re going to get. i was going to say, don t forget there is another vulnerability for governor romney and that is when we talk about trading and the global economy, president obama has a wonderful argument too make about who was it that was betting against the american economy, who was it part of shipping jobs overseas, putting money in foreign bank accounts, trying to obfuscate their responsibility to the united states and reduce their tax burden. so there are other things that are right for the president.
