and you smiled. and threw it. and i decided i would never, ever leave it anywhere. because that wonderful, bouncy, roll-around thing. had made you play. and that. had made you smile. [ announcer ] beneful. play. it s good for you. part of the president s job tonight is to solidify and extend the gains made with female voters. democrats also want to make sure that the overwhelming support for the president among african-americans and the latino community will translate to a high voter turnout come november. joining me now, star jones. she s the national spokesperson for the national association of professional women. she s also, of course, today show law and society contributor. first, star, let me talk to you about the national association of professional women. you re with this group. what were they looking for or looking to hear out of this convention and even the rnc?
condi rice. you can tell he knows he has ten point deficit with women and romney is really aggressively trying to close that. and the president s job tonight and the job of the dnc speakers is to make sure to remind people that the republicans views on issues. pot just in terms of abortions and women s rights, but also women tend to be more liberal on education and taxes. and i think you ll hear michelle obama speak out on those issues, as well. it s not just a women s issue thing. just in general women are such a big bloc. white women the biggest swing group. and that s who this convention is targeting. perry, shira, stay with me. i want to bring in dan jones, president of rebuild the dream. good to see you. good morning. i want to play a clip from the president yesterday. he was in toledo, ohio. they know that everybody if you don t buy into their plan, even if you don t vote for them, they re thinking, well, maybe we ll discourage people, we ll get folks so disillusioned by
wouldn t look to these people as targets but unfortunately they do, so you have to balance the good work they re trying to do in these countries with the risk that they take by going in harm s way to help out people who need help. jon: the word of this raid was apparently well, the raid was still going on while the president was getting ready for or even making his state of the union speech. we heard him saying to leon panetta good job tonight, leon, as he was on his way into the speech. you had written yesterday, ironically, that you wanted to hear more from the president about america s position in the world and, you know, our foreign policy. here s one of your lines. in the end, you can t help but feel, you wrote, peter, american strategy is adrift with team obama presiding over our decline as a world power, tonight, meaning the state of union, would be a great time for the president to make the case to the contrary if that s possible. did he make that case? no, he didn t. he ma
