of what a governor mitt romney did with an 87% democratic legislature. you ve got to do it in a bipartisan way, not the way democrats did it, slamming it through without republican support. so there s no national health care plan, it s up to the states. that s part of it. it s an oversimplification, but we have to deal with medicaid. we want to block grant this to the states on medicaid, so that they can craft plans and have maximum flexibility, on medicare. there are things that we ve got to be able to do. that governor romney has laid out. of course, we re going to tackle this and make it happen. so if you live in a backwater state no, if you live in a backwater state that doesn t want to do anything on health care what state is a backwater state? what state is a backwater state? i don t buy that. no, they all going to excuse me, until massachusetts did it, nobody else had done it. who else had done it? no doubt who else there is no doubt. describe lo
president in this election. hillary clinton took heat off the white house yesterday when she said she, not the president, was responsible for the lack of security in benghazi. the former president has emerged as a major booster out on the campaign trial. so, just how important is the clinton factor this election? we ll get to that. that s always fun. plus, i ll go toe to toe with obama and romney stand-ins for another round-up just answer the question, my turn to pose the questions i would like to ask the candidates in tonight s debate. jason chafman of utah will play president obama. let me finish with this, heavyweight battle. this is hardball, the place for politics, life from hofstra university. hey. hey eddie. i brought your stuff. you don t have to do this. yes i do.
states can solve lots of these issues. and how we deal with it in utah is going to be very different in massachusetts or florida. absolutely, it s going to be a little bit different. so it s very possible of course we re going to do this. well, wait a minute. i m sorry? it s the year 2012. it s the year 2012. so when obama did it, nobody ever did it in history. and you re saying, of course we would do it. is there any evidence in history that the republican party would have ever created a health care plan? have you ever tried to do it? ever? tell me when you guys we have passed when did you guys create a health care plan? we have passed more bills that are now sitting in the united states senate than you can possibly imagine. there s more than 30 jobs bills, there s a number of bills that deal with health care. and yes, a president when is the republican party ever created a national health care plan president obama will grant each state a waiver. presiden
from new york, i think from queens, playing president obama. and also playing governor romney we have u.s. congressman jason from utah. let s go to the first question to you, i m talking to president obama now, if your face. yes, you are. i ve been unemployed for three years. you say you created 5 million jobs. what do you say to me? i say we have more to do. i created 5.2 million jobs over the last four years of my in my term in office. we ve created 500,000 manufacturing jobs in this country in the last two years alone. there s more work to be done and help is on the way. re-elect me and i ll make sure every job that wants a job gets a job. okay. let me ask governor romney a question. you say you want to go after iran even if they have the capability, that s the phrase, capability of producing a nuclear weapon. how do youtify preemptive war? hey, look, one of our
of the best health care systems out there. so, despite what you said, even president obama points to utah as one of the best health care systems. okay. thank you, very much. you have won the debate. anyway, thank you, joe crowley. thank you, congressman jason chaffetz. when we return, let me finish with this heavyweight championship fight we re going to watch tonight. i hope it s a big one, because it s so important. you re watching hardball, live from hofstra university. the second presidential debate. in america today we re running out of a vital resource we need to compete on the global stage. what we need are people prepared for the careers of our new economy. by 2025 we could have 20 million jobs without enough college graduates to fill them. that s why at devry university, we re teaming up with companies like cisco to help make sure everyone s ready with the know how we need for a new tomorrow.
