While 30 say it has given them a less favorable one. 61 said it had no impact. And finally, this is the most troubling number 46 said they feel that President Trump fired comey to slow down the russia investigation. And 38 buy the original explanation from the white house, that it was done over legitimate concerns over how comey handled the Hillary Clinton email issue. And theres a report that a frustrated President Trump is considering firing many of his Top White House aides. It adds up to a week, at best, the administration has a communications problem. Or at worst, it is facing accusations of obstruction of justice. I was going to fire comey. Donald trump contradicted his white house aides and his Vice President , adding to questions as to why the president chose to fire fbi director james comey when he did. No one from the white house. That was a d. O. J. Decision. He took the recommendation
but the president needs to back off and let the investigation go forward. We need to call
he should do that now. all tax returns, not just the personal but the llcs. it s not going to be in his tax return if there s anything there. if you can show me we need to do that, i will do it. i can t say on television, based on your question, that s a good idea. but i m open-minded to all things russia. the bottom line is, i think russia tried to affect our election, undermine our democracy. i want them to pay a price. i have yet to find collusion between the trump campaign and russia. there s a washington post story that comey went to burr to get more agents and more money. that s not true. there s a lot of things that are said that are true or half-truths. let the process work. i promised the people of sking and the people of the united states, i do care about this. i have nobody to punish. i hope you don t regret coming on now. happy mother s day. it was fun. that s the most important message to say. there you go.
to the thought that he was trying to stymie the russia campaign. i sat down with secretary of state rex tillerson and asked him whether he agrees with the president the russia story is fake news and witch-hunt? the president has made it clear he feels it s important we re-engage with russia, the relationship with russia, as he has described and i have described as well, i think at an all time low point since the end of the cold war, with a very low level of trust. i think the world and it s in the interests of the american people and russia and the rest of the world we do something to see if we cannot improve the relationship between the two greatest nuclear powers in the world. the president, i think, has committed to make an effort in that regard and asked me to make an effort as well. i understand that. you look at what s happening in the western european nations, france and germany and italy and
hasn t closed a deal with the voters. in ohio obama s up by a point. and in pennsylvania the president actually leads. so given the kind of frustrating economy that isn t booming, the stock market is, but unemployment is still in the low eights. looks like he could win this thing on the economy if it happens. yeah. you extrapolate, you could say, if it drops below eight, maybe the election wouldn t be that close. but what i think these numbers are telling us are not just that romney s economic message hasn t penetrated, but that the obama campaign s message which has been to define mitt romney as this unattractive, selfish, rich guy. what hurts that he s a selfish rich guy or he s secretive about the tax returns? it s all part of a piece.
there. it was like the dream we worked for was gone. according to the treasury department the bailout created 115,000 jobs. according to treasury. regardless, the ad is only the latest in a very convoluted message of ads from romney over the years on the auto bailout. in 2008 he wrote an editorial under the headline let detroit go bankrupt. he wrote then if general motors, ford, and chrysler get the bailout they asked for yesterday, you can kiss the american automotive industry good-bye. it won t go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed. that s future telling there. that was wrong of course. and earlier this year he had a different response. he took credit for the auto bailout. let s watch him this time. my own view was that the auto companies needed to go through bankruptcy before government help. and frankly that s finally what the president did. i pushed the idea of a managed
