weird. you couldn t write this that the white house wouldn t know about sex scandal involving the c.i.a. director. obviously there are a lot of questions about benghazi and petraeus. this whole period of last week, it s been a week ago tonight we were calling ohio. it s overshadowed a lot of the potential the president had coming out of the electing. he is going to have it in the news conference. this lab major focus of it. i don t think the white house wants any more distractions because there are questions about the f.b.i., c.i.a., military. all of this is mixed up in what a increasingly weird sex scandal. greta: there is a story, general kip ward was stripped of a star because he accused of spending tax money extravagantly. do you know if any of us stole $82,000. we would end up in the slammer.

platform has been amended as shown on the screen. [applause] okay. it was a priceless moment . first of all it is the first time in american history where there was a split vote on god. i have one word for the chairman. bell tone. you need a hearing device mr. mayor. if you really thought that 2-thirds of that crowd said aye. i thought i had a hearing issue. brother, you have a big one i tell you that now. what a moment and embarrassing moment and distraction and not just embarrassing but what a revealing moment. what a moment to say that we are not sure we want to put god back in the language of our platform and then to say we are not too sure whether we will stand by israel or not. this was a convention about relecting president obama and a time for democrats and the
of that as this convention begins to get under way. but i d say, jon, that what we heard in to malley answer is in the o malley answer is a lot of the case that will be made this week. people may not feel like they re better off, the obama administration is trying to make the case than they re better off than they would have been under republican leadership and better off than they will be if they should make the mistake in the democrats eyes of electing, of electing mitt romney. so that s what we ll hear. it s not as good as being able to come out and tick off a long list of particulars and ways that the country is clearly better off, but i guess it s the best they can do. jon: and, you know, when you look at things like the unemployment numbers, i mean, the president points to the fact that jobs have been created for some consecutive number of months, but basically, it s a number that keeps up with population growth in this country.
deeply entrenched problems in our country it would be necessary to take sweeping steps. romney minced no words and jumped on early. it would be a bold move to bring ryan on into the campaign. in so far as there are a lot of democrat goesing to argue his plan for medicare reform would do away with medicare. could be risky business in key states like florida and arizona, states with large populations of seniors. democrats would be eager to attack that. watch ryan say he stands by principals of the ryan budget but begins to promise that he will be backing the romney ajebda and bring principal principals principles to the ryan campaign. it s about passing romney agenda by electing the president. if you re just joining us you re seeing a lot of video here of paul ryan. we re talking with our chief political kpontd correspondent.
