dollars or hundreds of millions of dollars in cash from the government. i think it s wrong. i think it stinks to high heaven and i think the administration has to explain how it is they would consider giving money to campaign contributors businesses. reporter: romney used this line of attack in the past. it has been successful. whether or not it changes the subject from bain remains to be seen. we know most independent fact checkers said the bain attacks from the obama campaign from mr. romney are false and misleading. though the president is setting a record for his ad campaign on the tv screens across america with its attack ads, he did or interview with cbs argued he is actually pretty positive on the air. this is an interesting thing to watch. if you look at ads that we do, first of all we ve done a whole slew of positive ads that talked exactly about how we need to change our education system, how we need to change our tax code, how we need to rebuild america. how we need to p
the obama campaign can t blame mitt romney for the ailing economy. a lot of republicans have said, jon, listen, romney has got to be better at counter punching. he has been on the defensive. he had a tough weekend. this week has got to be a reset button. the media interviews he did late last week did not really work. so they re trying this. and certainly they have to make the case that president obama vowed to change washington as we know it and it has not changed. it actually has changed for the worse according to some. jon: yeah, but there are indications that the bain attacks haven t necessarily worked. i mean the president and mitt romney are still essentially tied after weeks of the president s team pounding mitt romney on his business experience. yes. i mean this election is still a jump ball with obama i think having a slight lead in some of these battleground states but the obama campaign hasn t indicated they will keep hammering him and, i do think that bain, coupled with th
american energy. so, those just don t get attention in the news. but, we re very much promoting it. reporter: they don t get attention in the news because they are basically outnumbered. in june, independent studies said that the obama campaign, 75% of its ads were negative. so a three to one margin. for instance in the battle ground state of ohio, dayton, a i can particularly important state, city, for two weeks, in the latter part of june, all the ads that ran from the obama campaign in dayton were negative. jenna. jenna: interesting. the president is heading out to ohio again today. we talked aed a little bit about the calendar. labor day will be here before we know it, carl. what about the vice president pick? reporter: romney spent the weekend talking about vice-presidential elections with staff in new hampshire. he spent a couple weekends on it. there is buzz out there that he will make the buzz early. next two weeks before the olympics would seem highly unlikely. that would
outsourcing. american business are outsourcing now because we have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. under president obama s watch federal regulation has become increasingly burdensome. we can certainly point to the role of government having expanded too far beyond its means as a reason that american businesses are struggling and american families are struggling. jon: and the discussion for ano. thank you both for joining us. thank you. thank you. jenna: now this warning from economists, many are growing increasingly pessimistic about the economy here at home. a new survey finds a majority of economists see growth slowing in the next few months ahead. part of those 113 days, so very crucial as we move closer to the election. the debt crisis in europe is a big issue according to these economists and looming tax increases if washington can t reach a deal, some of that is
the presidential campaign narrative away from his personal finances and tenure at bain capital republican mitt romney will launch a fresh assault this week accusing accusing president obama of political cronyism at the expense of middle class workers. the media hopefully will know eye not true and not cover it that way. i wish bogus attacks would be revealed by the media to be bogus attacks. as seen in the last week or so the mainstream media are actively trumpeting all the attacks. what they are ignoring at the very moment they are demanding that governor romney disclose his tax returns and bain capital and all this stuff they are ignoring the fast and furious executive privilege. they are ignoring the activities
