but america s winter olympics were mired in scandal and deficits. they turned to mitt romney. he faced a $400 million deficit and turned it around to $100 million sur palace. mitt gets things done. he changed my life. mitt romney brought a huge sense of hope. he allowed athletes like myself to be able to restore our dreams. welcome back. at the top of the hour a beautiful look at london whereof course the 2012 olympic games are going on. that ad of course references olympic games that went on ten years ago, and that was a new ad, part of the pro-romney super pac restore our future that s spending $7.2 million over nine key battleground states from nevada to florida. welcome back to morning joe. mike barnicle, john meacham,
defenses. they want to know who will object, and who will look the other way. my message to the people of israel and the leaders of iraq is one and the same. i will not look away. and neither will my country. he met with benjamin netanyahu who threw his support behind romney and say that sanctions against iran have not worked, in his words, one iota. perhaps the highlight of the trip occurred earlier today when mitt romney and mrs. romney visited the western wall. it is one of the most sacred sites in the jewish faith. and it was received well by orthodox jewish-americans who i talked to earlier today. they told me, in their words, president obama does not get it. mitt romney does. candy? jim, while we await to see mitt romney take to the micropho microphone, the mayor is introducing him. i want to ask you, we know here at home that the political audience that mitt romney is hoping to reach are american jewish voters as well as evangelical christians who have a strong tie t
corporations foreign income, governor romney s plan would encourage company to shift more operations to foreign tax havens creating 800,000 jobs in those other countries. i want to give incentives to companies that are investing in you, the american people, to create american jobs, making american goods that we re selling around the world stand for three proud words, made in america. the romney campaign called the tax report the president was referring to there biased pointing out that it was written by an obama supporter. today mitt romney will be at a rally in pennsylvania as the super pac supporting him sets a new fundraising high. restore our future collected $20 million in june. that s four times what it raised in may. also, dwarves the $6 million raised by the top super pac supporting president obama in the same month. meanwhile, no sign that democrats plan to let up the attacks on romney s record at bain capital. he had why on msnbc, debbie
negative to a lot of voters. that s why voters who say they re swayed have gone in a heavy way to the president s side. let me ask you something that s pure fix material. could it also be i agree with what susan just said but could it also be the obama campaign has done a better job marshaling its message? is the romney campaign hindered by an inability to make those supportive of romney are saying what they d like to be said. i think that is broadly true. if you look at the spending on ads, barack obama spent about $96 million on ads thus far the vast majority has been spent? states we re talking about. are mitt romney in the general election has spent $23 million on ads. in eight swing states, colorado, nevada, iowa, new hampshire, florida. in those states, super pacs, republican super pacs. americans for prosperity, restore our future, crossroads gps. they have outspent mitt romney
restore our future. but an outside group. they have outspend mitt romney in every single one of those states. mitt romney spent $2 million in florida. crossroads and the koch have spent 9 million. you can control your message a lot easier when it s you paying for it. if the campaign decided we need to marshall these forces, that would violate the law. absolutely. they cannot coordinate. public buying information, how much money you re spending is public information. you can call the radio station, so you can get it that way. remember, in 2008, barack obama essentially said you know what, if you want to support me, give it to me. it s why he raised $750 million.
