biden made them act. the other thing i want to say, chris, one of the givens here they have been saying they would have done before this the convention. that was not what i was hearing in weeks leading up to this. >> let me check mark on that. that's a key point. was the president intending sometime before now and the conventions to support marriage equality? you say, glenn, they weren't set on that course yet? >> i had heard -- now, the thing that the white house folks say is that obama made the decision and that changed the political calculation. so i'm not accusing anyone of being disingenuous. the book on this prior to his announcement was that they -- the thought was it would have been smart to do it six months ago but in the absence of doing it six months ago -- >> did biden goose them into action or push them into action? did he create the idea of doing this and force president's hand or simply move the president ahead of schedule. >> i think there was a very lively debate internally about this. i

i understand what jobs mean and joe biden doesn't have a clue. >> governor, to that point, joe biden isn't, quote a bureaucrat, joe biden, not to demean bureaucrat, joe biden han a senator representing the people of delaware since he was in his late 20s. you would demean that as that level of public service? >> well, of course he's been a public servant in government. the point is this. when you look to figure out how to grow the economy, how to start businesses, invest in business, getting businesses to grow, expand and provide jobs you should look to people who have done that, have some knowledge about it, some understanding about it. have been in touch with reality about it. for joe biden who has been again in government as an electsed official since gerald ford was president, to stand up and lecture mitt romney or anybody else on whether they get it or not is laughable. i mean give me a break. the guy hasn't seen the private sector, private investment or job growth in a meaningful or direct way in 40 years. >> do you think that mitt romney as the head of bain capital gets it? wha
