creating jobs. mar gee margie, do they not want to talk about the economy? mitt romney brings up the record at bain. he points to that as his main credential. he doesn t talk about his time when he is governor because he was 47th in job creation. it is not just about bain. it is a huge list of things that i think was well captured in the latest obama ad. it is his tax havens and not being forthcoming and not releasing tax returns. he was the most withholding president since richard nixon. you can see reports of what he says. it is taking credit for things after he left bain and not wanting to take credit for other things that happened while at bain. it is his history on out sourcing, corporations are people. it is all of those things that have come from the romney campaign. and that is before you get to his actual policy and how he is going to really protect the wealthiest among us at the
basically saying, i am not a crook. that s never a good thing to be doing on a campaign. repeating the charge reinforces the charge. what romney is hoping to do is reinforce something bad that is happening for the president right now. what he wants is to remind people of the distance, the shadow between obama 2008 and obama 2012. but they have him playing on their turf. this is a time we would come to in the campaign we knew, but this is the absolute assault on mitt rom nay s character as it on mitt romney s character. it is withering. it is relentless. it was on the sunday shows today, and what romney hopes is the president s negatives continue to go up. the president who ran as a healer and a unifier, if he is seen as attacking he will suffer collateral damage in these swings. the obama campaign can keep it up because they have the
that s the person way. that s part of the system. but that doesn t necessarily make you qualified to think about the economy as a whole. who is the better man to get america s economy back on track? a fox news political analyst and jimoo green, former fox news contributor and great to see you both today. thanks for having us. i will start with you, angela and just ask you, bane again? i feel like this is deja vu. is this more than the president and his administration s effort, let s say or trying to divert the attention away from how the economy is doing now? it is a diversion, but this is what the liberal strategy has been, and it has been a smart one. jaime, in running politics, the first rule is never let your opponent define your message. and clearly mitt rom nay needs to give back romney needs to give back on message and what he needs to do to create a better america and a better economy and talk about what this president hasn t done.
paycheck fairness act. he won t tell us which tax loopholes he would close to make his budget work. he can t name the federal agencies he wants to cut. he refuses to say whether he would have signed the lilly ledbetter fair pay act. he won t take a stand on the violence against women act and he won t talk about the carried interest tax break which is huge, my friends. candidate romney, don t you think he owes us a few answers? but it seems like he s simply following in the footsteps of another famous politician of decades ago. republican candidate thomas dewey, dewey, i tell you, this guy was famous for making sweeping statements, very generic that sounded good, but he never got into the devil in the detail or the specifics. it works for dewey, and he almost beat harry truman in 1948. just like the empty speeches are working for mitt rom nay as he closed the gap on the president. watch the comparison.
almost beat harry truman in 1948. just like the empty speeches are working for mitt rom nay as he closed the gap on the president. watch the comparison. let s start with free enterprise. americans have come to pass under our free system of productive enterprise. not just because i love job creators. it s because i love jobs. the only way to win the peace is to provide strength. american strength is essentially for our kids, for us, and for the world. the only thing they re afraid of is strength greater than his. i have the force to communicate our strength. there will begin in washington the biggest unraveling, unsnarling, untangling operation in our nation s history. we got to have people who stop thinking of themselves of just republicans and democrats and think of themselves as americans.
