have all been giving speaking engagements at the rnc convention. so they re off your long list? you don t think that we would be so silly as to not provide from time to time the capacity to throw people off, do you? that was mitt romney today, once again providing absolutely no clues regarding his vice presidential pick. undeterred by a seeming lack of evidence, drudge report announced that president obama whispered to a top fund-raiser this week that he believes gop presidential hopeful mitt romney wants to name general david petraeus to the vp slot. general petraeus quickly knocked down any speculation this afternoon in a statement from his spokeswoman. director petraeus feels very privileged to be able to continue to serve his country in his current position, and as he has stated clearly numerous times before, he will not seek elected office. but it turns out, as everyone in the world speculates and waits with bated breath for the announcement, wikipedia, as usual, may have th
law was even passed to put people into work. and i think as long as this waiver authority is being used for the purposes that he wanted, which is to end welfare, as the way we used to know it, and really support work, i think that he ll stick with president obama. cal, i want to go to you. as someone who has sort of witnessed mitt romney s career thus far and has done a great job reporting on it, can you expound on romney s 2005 position on welfare when he was governor of massachusetts, a time mitt romney would not like to have a lot of sunlight shed on? sure, alex. it s interesting to note, you know, john s absolutely right. he was advocating a similar type of waiver at the time in 2005. but it s important not to overreach on that argument. i remember massachusetts at the time was one of those 44 states that was already operating under a waiver. it was going to expire that year. and mitt romney was actually called heartless, as far as the work requirements on, you know, welfare re
cnbc and for at least the bazillionth time, by our count, floats the idea that president obama was maybe, probably, totally, likely born outside of the united states. if i were romney, and i m not, i would say very simply, i will release my returns, which are 100% legit, everything s fine, if you release the information that we want. whether it s his passport records, whether it s his college applications and college records. and i would sort of absolutely if i were romney, i would do this. i will release my returns if you release the records that you ve been trying to shield for the last four years. normally, it would be best to ignore where donald trump is getting his information, but the source is an article posted to glenn beck s website, the blaze. a man named wayne alan root claiming to be a classmate of president obama s at colombia university says, quote, the obama scandal is at columbia. root says he believes that
but where is the outrage over conservative conspiracy theories and race baiting regarding president obama and his family? ari melber and michelle goldberg join me next. and speaking of unfounded allegations, we have another wacky theory about mitt romney s vice presidential pick. that s coming up. you ll inevitably find yourself on a desolate highway in your jeep grand cherokee. and when you do, you ll be grateful for the adaptive cruise control that automatically adjusts your speed when approaching slower traffic. and for the blind spot monitoring that helps remind you that the highway might not be as desolate. .as you thought.
outrageous. under obama s plan, he wouldn t have to work and wouldn t have to train for a job. this advertisement is categorically false and blatantly dishonest. there are all kinds of different gymnastics being performed by the romney campaign. governor romney himself signed a letter asking for the same waiver program. to give states powerful performance incentives to place people in jobs. in 1996, president clinton and a bipartisan congress helped end welfare as we know it. the opportunity it gives us to end welfare as we know it. end welfare as we know it. newt gingrich calling president obama the food stamp president. i don t think you have to be the sheriff of nottinham to figure out exactly what s going on here. it s like robin hood in reverse. it s romney hood. damned right. robin hood was stealing from the government. romney hood. robin hood was a tea party
