it's absurd. >> obama's problem is this. his ads are attacking equity capital and bain capital as vampire capitalism in the days, and at night he's going back and raising money and cory booker and a number of democrats saying are you nuts? you're destroying the people that are coming into our communities and helping us out! and this is the heart of obama's campaign. and it's under fire. >> taking their money and then asking if these are the set of skills you want to run the 61 country two different things. and vampires do their best work at night. >> well, there are you. let me say this -- mitt romney was a brilliant businessman and manager. he brought in terrifically talented people, i know the company very well. it was in massachusetts and very big way when i was there. he is an outstanding businessman. so he was also -- >> obama's . is very simple. he says romney cannot shoehorn his way in to a -- saying he has executive experience on the basis of his experience at bain capital. >> false! it's absolutely false! you don't

the obama campaign believed obama is better than anyone else. i think we got a glimpse that was when president obama was talking about the bain and trying to reconcile, he made that point better than anyone else. better than anything we have seen thus far. it is a risk because you don't want the negative to go up and the positive to go down. >> thanks for mentioning that. great reporting and if you care about this, read it. i want to switch from the sublime to the ridiculous. mitt romney is incentivizing his donors of the possibility of a dinner with donald trump. june 28th, this is new york city dinner with the donald. you see i want you. his hair looks less ridiculous in that picture than real life. what is this about? we saw this with george clooney. this is kind of drawing attention to how people like us talk about it. >> it's a way to raise money and they think they will raise money. they are playing with fire. george clooney on the other hand and donald trump made controversial and divicive statements so far. >> he still is on the birther

coming up, president obama -- stop. president obama support the occupy movement. simple question, right? i wonder why the white house press secretary jay carney had a tough time answering that. his comments left. dana's favorite band reo speedwagon. and kim loves to dance to this song. ♪ ♪ if you have copd like i do, you know how hard it can be to breathe and what that feels like. copd iludes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiva helps corol my copd symptoms by keeping my airways open a full 24 hours. plus, it reduces copd flare-ups. spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that does both. and it's steroid-free spiriva does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell yr doctor if you have kidy problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you ta, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if yr breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing ure. other

obama came in right as things hit rock bottom. he came in and for months things got worse because we were falling off cliff. there was some sort of sharing of blame that didn't exist from the great depression and allows key financipoll policies to get muddled. >> i suppose they took office in january rather than march 4, right? >> that's it. >> okay. well thank you for the constitutional change which is allowing you to come in just in time for the blame for the catastrophe by the bushes. >>> i want to talk about virginia and the states doing well. again, i think that may help obama but you never know. anyway, thank you sam stein, as always, thank you the brilliant ezra klein and brilliant stam stein. >>> is there a growing rift within the pro business better off people, i must say, like cory booker, politically, and rank and file regular democrats who mistrust big economic power? this is "hardball," place for politics. today is gonna be an important day for us. you ready? we wanna be our brother's keeper. what's number two we wann

what we have with the obama administration is it corporate welfare where president obama thinks it is right to take taxpayer dollars to give to private companies and take bets on the private companies. that is wrong. what is right is the private sector that you have risk capital. you put capital in businesses to try and grow the businesses. some succeed, some don't. when mitt romney ran bain they were very successful. they traded thousands of jobs. great success stories. more to the point we don't think the government h should be in the position of picking winners and losers in the economy which is result of the president's economy. we have stagnation. >> chris: what about that argument that it is the private sector. if companies want to take a chance they take a chance but the government shouldn't be picking winners and losers. >> well, that is two different arguments. the first one i actually think is a little cheeky because in several of these bankruptcy cases you saw the investors profit by dumping the pensions on to the government and actually getting bailouts from the government

barack obama making promises. barack obama in 2008. barack obama today. we showed a little bit of it in our first seth of the program tonight and that is that he changes his mind frequently and often and the case today was about gay marriage. is that the way to go at barack obama? let him eat his own words, in other words. >> and exactly what obama is doing to mitt romney as well. sean, there are three aspects to an effective ad. number one, is it credible and when you see the video of the candidate that is as effective as it gets. number two, does it deal with an issue that people care about. you can bet that taxpayers are ticked off and they use money much stronger than that to describe how they feel when their money goes overseas. and sean the campaigns that focus on credibility, authenticity, impact and this differencial those are the ads that work and those are the ads that will actually move voters. >> we will be following these ads and more to come in the days and weeks ahead. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> sean: we reveal three key rea

obama's losing 40% to a federal inmate. obama can't win those reagan democrats. clinton was able to articulate an economic measure that connected not only with the center, but the reagan democrats. i don't see obama appealing to that part of his party at all? >> why would obama say out there that he forgot the magnitude of the recession. what's that all about? why would he make a comment like that? >> i think this campaign from the beginning, this re-election campaign, has done a lot to try to remind people just how bad it was. what they've tried to say is, it may feel bad, but it was really bad before. that is like any historical or counterfactual argument, so what he's saying is it's not just, larry, or you the voters, even he forgets. it's an inclusive way of saying we all forget it. >> i just think it's a dumb way to approach it, because you just heard scott rasmussen, the guy's running -- obama, he's running at a 37% economic approval. if i had a 37% economic approval, i wouldn't be saying i forgot the magnitude of the recession. >> i've got to tell you -- >

on the other hand, romney is attacking obama on the issues but not obama as a person. do you think that's a mistake? do you think romney should equally go after obama as a person, just as obama comes after romney as a person, to better acquaint the american population that he's who he is, european socialist and doesn't think like an american? do you think that should be brought out in the campaign? >> no. >> there's an -- there's an advantage to romney keeping it where he's got it, which is to use the own statements, promises, pledges and actions in order to paint a picture of him. the president makes a huge mistake going after romney in the way that he has. let me give you an example. the one-year anniversary of osama bin laden. what would have happened if the president said, you know what, let's not make this about me. let me get on a chopper or get in a motor cade, go out to the cia, and we will have to have the camera shot outside but i'm going to go in, in a private meeting with him, tell the cia how proud i am of them, what they've done, and follow the threads of

this came up in 2008 and obama was elected. to bring it up now, it's going to feel like old news. >> how are obama's people going to exploit this? >> i don't think the president benefits from an extended conversation about reverend wright. i think most voters think not only has it been litigated, they think it's racist. the people making the decision about this election wouldn't be persuaded by this, they would be offended by this. recent it was seriously considered is it was a bunch of rich fools sitting there thinking what can they do? >> in the proposed talks of jeremiah wright. >> i've been disappointed in the president's campaign to date which has been focused on character assassination. i just think we're wiser to talk about the issues of the day, what we do to get america working again and talk about our respe respective records, and so with that, i certainly hope that you get a chance to see our first ad. that will come up, i think, in a couple of days. it will be a positive ad about the things i would do if i were pres

president obama says mitt romney not qualified, and mitt romney arguing president obama doesn't have the skills to be president. that's going to be the fundamental debate for the next six months. now, wrapping up the nato summit in his home town, president obama said the u.s. and its allies are one step closer to winding down this war in afghanistan. >> afghan forces will take the lead for combat operations next year. this will mark a major step toward the goal we agreed to in lisbon. completing the transition to afghan lead for security by the end of 2014. >> like the united states committed to, nato said they'll have a true presence in afghanistan after 2014. the big questions, though, how many of those troops will not be u.s. soldiers and how long most americans will support even a reduced commitment there is unclear. one indication of what the lighter american presence looks like, defense contractor norfolk grumman finalize add deal to splip nato with its first five drones. >> we agreed to acquire a fleet of remotely piloted aircraft, drones, to strengthen intelligence, surveilla

he's got to run on obama. and even when donald trump is pimping romney he has to do it by going after obama. we have twoen candidates for the next two months who can't run on their own records and i think that means we're going to see a lot of red her igs like this. >> steve, you were a newt gingrich supporter. newt gingrich is to appear with mitt romney, donald trump. does that change your opinions about mitt romney moving forward, the fact that newt gingrich is throwing his support behind him and showing up on the campaign trail with him? >> no, i'm 38 years old, and i think a lot of folks that grew up in younger again rashgenerat not just proxies. when they speak for us, we don't check our minds. newt gingrich isn't on the ballot, mitt romney is. it's mitt romney's responsibility to sell people on voting for him, nobody else. >> so michael, let me ask you, under what circumstances do you think romney's association with donald trump could backfire? do you see this igniting the obama base or is this just some

that was an obama 2008 state. great, thanks. >> bob: even before this issue we never thought there was a chance he'd carry that. north carolina, he has resoundly defeated yesterday. but let's remember the turn-out was 15%. i think that in virginia, the state changed demographically so much in the end it will help him. it will get him a lot of money. >> eric: help whom? >> bob: obama. >> eric: it helps him in virginia? >> bob: northern virginia. >> dana: but turn-out may be stronger. >> eric: north carolina, can you imagine holding your national convention in north carolina and trailing, especially because now with the issue all he had to do is just keep quiet. >> dana: they realize he was in uncomfortable position. when the reporters and the media felt that you are equivocating, and that you are not telling the truth and there is a charade, they will call you out on it. so i agree from the t political stand point it smells bad. overall, bab-up, say three months from now. how are people going to feel about this? it

but that candidate, president obama, senator obama, on that ballot, not a candidate in favor of same-sex marriage, which he now is. >> you know, actually if you take me back to 2004, there's quite a lot of research done. karl rove encouraged marriage initiatives to be done on a bunch of different state election ballots and they happened to be battleground states. people went back and looked at the turnout. it did increase turnout occurring among conservatives. there was no correlation. think if you are trying to be crudely political about this, you have to say it's mixed. there are regional differences here, and in a close election, it can make a marnl natural difference. you know, igs possible that both toure and jonathan are height here, in terms of the percentage win among african-americans, president obama will could just fine, but actually, on the margins of turnout among religious groups, religious latinos and religious african-americans, they may be inclined to stay at home. u.s. a marginal call. but in a marginal election it makes it all the more gutsy the presidents that taken t

what happened to that barack obama? the president today is a typical politician prone to hyperbole and divisiveness and it is sad to watch. >> you proposed a scaled back investigation of the dream act which would allow children of illegal immigrants to get vitas if they are either attending college or serving in the military and then would allow them to stay in this country while applying for permanent residency. isn't that i understand it is scaled back but isn't that still a form of amnesty. in. >> no. because, first of all, we don't create any special pathways. we use the existing immigration system to deal with a humanitarian issue and that is these children who entered illegally. they follow their parents. er that parents put them in the predict ament. now, they have grown up here and engrained into your culture and sew eyety and we spent public dollars to educate them. the case of a young girl here in florida who is the valedictorian of her high school and accepted to dartmouth and yet has a deportation order. i t

the reality is, and i listen to obama and i have obama surrogate notes here. >> all right. >> i have surrogate notes here which he's not rhee elying o. h comes, i fire people, too. >> this is not what happened in bain capital. i've reduced employees in my city 25% because it's the only way we would survive. call me a job cutter if you want. >> let's call me a job cutter. >> he was out there being cory booker and not really considering how to advance the president's message. >> yes! >> i think he's absolutely wrong if he's saying that bain capital in looking at the record is off limits because what else is there in this campaign? looking at the massachusetts record of mitt romney? in that regard, he was serving his own constituency, that is his donors and the people in manhattan. >> not only did he say that bain was off limits, he actually also said that bain overall had done good for the economy, and he was touting bain, and more important, i think, than any of that is he's implicitly saying that barack obama, that president obama has been caught up in the same old politics of nausea

44% for obama and 46% for romney. jen, what happened in the past month according to this "new york times" poll? >> we can talk about the poll with without talking about the methodology. they re-polled many of the people they polled in the past, but you know, the most important issue is women will be working on the policies and the issues of the candidates and what they represent and we're comfortable with where president obama is on those issues. >> our pollster here at cnn did point out to me that he has a problem with going back and re-questioning people they questioned a month ago, some you can find, some you can't find and that seems to show a distortion. >> also, they polled 6% more democrats than they did republicans so i'm sure there was some attempt there to even up the score for the president and they failed to do that, but the key here, wolf, is what's happened in the last month and the first thing is women do not like contentious environments and it was very ugly at different times and that suppressed our n

that is what president obama is ahead. he did rescue the american automobile industry when mitt romney would have let him them go bankrupt if he is ahead when it comes to the priorities of hispanicarate commu-- the community. he is for immigration reform. he is making sure we can close the achievement of for hispanic- americans by ensuring that we make strategic investments and not just drastically cut our budget, like the republicans have proposed. so that we can give people an opportunity, especially when the industry is through economic downturns are beginning to evolve. some are going to continue and the same way and others will not. we need to make sure we invest in job training, educational opportunities, so at the next stage of americans careerist they have a lot of different opportunities instead of remaining stagnant, which is what would happen if mitt romney became president. a couple of democrats have come out in the race in arizona and and have sought to put distance between themselves and the president. is tha

what happened to that barack obama. he is a politician that is prone to hyperbaly and it is very sad to watch. >> senator, i want to move on to specific issues. you propose a scaled back version of the drome act and allow children of illegal imdeprants to get visas if they are serving in college and military and allow them to stay in the country while applying for permanent residency. isn't that a form of amnesty? >> no, we iges existing immigration system to deal with a humanitarian issue . these children who entered illegally or overstayed visas, these are children and they follow their parents and the parents put them in the predictament and they grew up here and engrained in our society and they have much to contribute to our future. the case of the young girl who is accept in dartmouth and yet has a deportation order. it is crazy to deport someone like that. use the immigration system. we do that for poem to stay here legally and study and work and point if they want to stay here permanently as i suspect they will,

president obama makes a surprise visit to afghanistan. >> mitt romney responding to the obama campaign saying he hay not have gone after osama bin laden. that accusation against the governor irresponsible? a growing political controversy. >> we, learn to ignore [ bleep ] >> bill: also a gay activist attacks the bible at a conference for young people. some students walk out. outrage is growing. we'll have the latest. >> caution you are about to enter the no-spin zone. the factor begins right now. >> bill: i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. president obama, afghanistan, bin laden, that is the subject of the talking points memo. at 4:00 a.m. afghan time. president told the world we remain strong alleys against the war on terror in general. it marks the anniversary of osama bin laden's death. president did a good thing by going into the war zone, showing the world that the u.s. power is firmly intact. it sends a message that america will not tolerated terrorist attacks but most importantly the xhard in chief he rallied the zbloopts time and again they have called to serve i

the obama campaign has mitt romney on the ropes early on. romney is reeling on national security, and president obama is going after romney now on the economy. if you're a leftie and you support president obama, you got to love this ad. here it is. >> over the top, out of context. big oils new attack ad. president obama's clean energy initiatives have help create jobs for projects across america, not overseas. what about mitt romney? he shipped american jobs to places like mexico and china. as governor he outsourced state jobs. he's still pushing tax breaks for companies that shift jobs overseas. it's just what you expect from a guy that had a swiss bank account. >> if you're an independent you got to love that. it's going up in ohio, iowa and virginia. the obama campaign released this graphic showing where romney has bank accounts and trust funds all over the world. for the faint of heart who thinks it may be too soon for president obama to go on offense, you better think again. bush defined keary in 2004 and he never recovered. it helps wh

obama about it. that comes up again and again in these conversations, and that he also saw the same-sex parents of some friends of sasha and malia's and he had more or less resolved one way or another to raise this issue and address it prior to the convention later this summer, where there may or may not be a fight over a platform in the democratic -- a fight over a plank in the democratic platform. but that joe biden's comments o meet the press on sunday forced the the issue. despite what some people say or believe, this wasn't a planned orchestration, with having biden come out and set up a trial balloon -- >> they were winging it? >> they were kind of winging it in a way. the president was moving in this direction. no doubt biden knew that. no doubt arne duncan and others around him knew that, so they felt freer to talk about this, realizing it wouldn't create too much of a problem. but once biden got out there, one white house obama adviser told me, it got to the point where he just didn't want t

president obama is a lovefest. he must be going on the view because he thinks he has a problem with women. and look, it's a excellent way to reach women at home during the day. this assuming women are stupid. that they woner what the president feels about his shades of gray. his answer was funny about that when he was asked about that. this is what he is industrying to communicate, he likes french fries, qu crashamole which i thought were banned from the white house. >> eric: good, you define like the fact he went on jay leno. does this do him any good? >> dana: i would haven't advised it. does it do him good? i think women are unsatisfied with him and his answers at this point. this is fun. love to know that we share a love of quacamole and chips. that is my favorite, too. but how will you reach across the aisle to get things done if you win that you think you will or we hope that you will even? they're unsatisfied. the white house needs to find and create opportunities for president obama. not just to give a spee

i would argue both president obama. if you believe in the power of the individual to get up in the morning and take care of themselves and take care of their families and work hard and play by the rules and pay their taxes and have limited government i believe this choice could not be more clear. >> raise your hand if you voted for barack obama in 200will 8? tell us did we make the case? >> you both made the case. i am not going to vote for barack obama in the next election. because i am not happy with the way things are combls going right now. romney who knows something about business and has experience in government. he was a governor. >> did you vote for obama? >> i did. i am going to go with romney from now on. what i would like to see from romney is specific issues get away from the tax spending boil played articling uments that are made every four years. break out of the box do something more dynamic. don't kiss babies. be more dynamic. >> what would you want from him? he said he is going to repeal obama care, low

this obama was on the back. he basically went on the country and accuse these guys are wanting to raise taxes on working people. that was actually quite effective. the tax-cut extended for the first year, republicans hold it on everything. i think that you saw a real education happening culminating with this more partisan and more populous test of the presidency. it's a real question that i believe in and on, is this a case of obama having finally learned his lesson, the bipartisan engagement is a fools errand, and if you want to get something done, ultimately you have to take a case to the people and put pressure on your opponents from the outside, or is this a case of obama in the white house having been burned by that experience, realizing going into an election, we can't keep doing this. but, should we win reelection and we get into november and december, and facing those challenges that i have described at the beginning, will he reversed the form and try to do this bipartisan behind-the-scenes good-faith en

obama's evolved position on gay marriage was big news, but why now? was it big news? and deserving the coverage that it got? >> the coverage on "the washington post" and the step on gay marriage and friday, obama's evolution, next to mitt romney's piece, evolution is a great word, given the fact that barack obama first had the pro marriage, gay marriage, 1996 and obama moves from supporting gay marriage to opposing it back to supporting it again, that's evolution. when mitt romney does it, it's a flip plot. >> jon: why isn't it a flip-flop? of course it is, and when mitt romney changed his opinion on abortion, for example, he would say is evolving they call it a flip-flop and see it as a craven move and when obama switches his position twice, hardly anybody, if anyone referred to the fact that he used to support it in 1996 and pretty, in a very craven way switched his position and you know, somebody said this is less evolution and more intelligent design. and he really-- >> very good. >> not just some accidental thing that happened. >> and joe scarboro called it the b

, pro-obama spots. what do you make of that? >> well, first, third-party advertising, that's non-candidate advertising, has historically been more attack driven and more deceptive. and that's true this year as well. secondly, when there are imbalances in money tied to messages, the side with the higher dollar amount of messaging has the advantage. we showed this in 2008, interestingly, when the advantage was with the obama campaign, which in some media markets outspent john mccain four to one. we documented the effect of that difference in the presence of controlling everything else that might have affected voters. and we showed a difference in vote choice based on the amount of money -- differential in the amount of money spent by the two campaigns. and the biggest problem occurs when there's a differential in spending and a high level of deception tied to a high level attack because now you have the worst possible consequences. the whole electoral environment becomes more attack driven with deceptive

the reality is -- i listen to obama. i have obama surrogate notes here. they're talking about the positive issues that define one economic policy that to me reflects where bush was -- >> let's not get too pious about this. their strategy is also to so disqualify romney as a legitimate alternative to president obama which is very similar to what president bush did to senator kerry in -- >> you got to fight tyson, go after him when he's 6 years old, before he grows up. they want to knock romney out before the convention. i'm a detroit guy. grew up there. romney gets a bum rap. what there really was was a debate on how to restructure. romney had the tougher plan. in both cases the auto industry is smaller than it used to be. it had to be. we had to lose capacity. it's a good story now. >> you give credit to obama for guiding that chapter 11. >> they both wanted the bankruptcy. obama wanted to put in billions of dollars than the bankruptcy. romney wanted the bankruptcy. what romney didn't say but he should have, there would have had to be a government liquidi

>>chris: but senator, a point that obama made yesterday, president obama made in the speech yesterday, he says the republicans and romney will take this country back when it comes to gay rights and birth control and when it comes to abortion. >>guest: well, there are differences of opinion between the parties on the issues. for example on the issue of life, yes, the republican party by and large, although there is diversity on the life issua

unions donate to obama. at the same pace that karl rove -- >> people, the eel people -- evil people are koch brothers. >> i'm ready to do away with this seg minute. how about that? is the u.s. going to give up mount rushmore? that is what one official calling for. details next up. ♪ ♪ let me tell you about a very important phone call i made. when i got my medicare card, i realized i needed an aarp... medicare supplement insurance card, too. medicare is one of the great things about turning 65, but it doesn't cover everything. in fact, it only pays up to 80% of your part b expenses. if you're already on or eligible for medicare, call now to find out how an aarp... medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company, helps cover some of the medical expenses... not paid by medicare part b. that can save you from paying up to thousands of dollars... out of your own pocket. these are the only medicare supplement insurance plans... exclusively endorsed by aarp. when you call now,

>> i think obama has the bigger problem. he has the worst record of any president since the great depression. second, bureaucratic investment has been a disaster. we had one solar company that went belly up for $2.1 billion and we have solyndra at $185 million. obama has no model of effective job creation as compared to private capital and this is why it will fall flat on his face, plus i was very careful, i didn't go after private equity. he's going after all private equity in a way which explains why you had senator warner and the governor of massachusetts why he had the closest allies and senator feinstein and cory booker on the show. there were 15 or 20 democrats who say this is an inaccurate and wrong approach for the president to be taking. >> if the chief qualification is i'm mitt romney, i worked in private enterprise and therefore that experience is what makes me a job creator when that's not at the core, and that's want the chief function. >> let me go a step further, because we'll get to his private record. there

he's a businessman and barack obama is a bad businessman-- >>> barack obama -- >> barack obama's record? >> the first president in modern history with a net loss of jobs -- >> no. >> sean: we will have fewer people working over a million less people working, after he's been president -- >> you are judging from the day he took over -- [overlapping dialogue] >> before his economic policies were in place. you are judging him on the previous administration. >> i'm sorry, you know, juan... his numbers are right. this is the other thing that frustrates me and a lot of people. the administration and a lot of democrats, they use bogus numbers. if you look at the in fact facts, the numbers he is giving are exactly right. i am not judging president obama on being able to control the rhetoric out there. the fact of the matter is, they're attacking bain capital, they are attacking what they call equity groups. why? they don't understand business. it is not going to fly -- >> if they don't understand business, let people have this conversation and let them have an argument about the scme whether or

obama campaign trying to define him as out of touch. responded by saying -- what's interesting here is the romney campaign has not responded to these obama ads when they have come observe. will they this time? on the one-year anniversary of osama bin laden's death the obama campaign is getting a lot of grief for a campaign video put out. team obama says it is fair to ask what mitt romney would have done. joining me now is romney's foreign policy advisor. >> hi, chuck. >> i want to ask specifically first on mitt romney's phraseology in new hampshire even jimmy carter would have done that? >> it was courageous when president obama made the decision to activate seal team six to take out osama bin laden was a great decision. just about every u.s. president would have made that decision. >> why do you say that? can we stop here? it's public record. defense secretary robert gates, vice president biden and a couple of others in that room. it was a 55/45 call. >> there is only one person who there is lots of disagreement in matters of foreign p

i mean president obama. it does do you know what obama does with people who stand up for job creators, he silences them. they had pressured booker into taking back support of the free market. this is how far president obama has sunk running an all out assault on job creators and in his own democratic party anyone who dares to defend them must be silenced. if you agree sign our petition. i stand with cory booker. if you sign it you will give your e-mail address to the republican party which will make infinite use of your e-mail address from here to spamternity. he promptly followed up the endorsement by saying there are he promptly followed up the endorsement by saying there are a lot of other people out there that some of us wish they had run for president, but they didn't. when tom davis endorsed mr. romney this way. >> he may not be mr. personality. this is the guy who gives the fire side chat and the fire goes out. >> off message like when jon huntsman endorsed mr. romney with this love song to the republ

"humility." (laughter) even i have to say in yesterday's press conference when confronted with his attack on romney's record obama did make a good point. >> i just recommend that everybody take a look at people's previous statements in terms of whether they thought it was appropriate to go into pakistan and take out bin laden. i assume people meant what they said when they said it. that's been at least my practice >> stephen: there you go. the president means what he said. but be careful if you disagree with the commander-in-chief he might seine you to the prison at gitmo he said he would close.

i would rather meet with her than obama. at least she wears an actual crown not a figurative one. >> bill: economy is in trouble like european economies. spend a gazillion dollars on these people to run around and live in the 18 castles they have to hunt the foxes. what do you think about all of that? >> i would rather waste money on something that wears pretty blue colors than tattoo removal. that's where we are at over here. but to say we spend like drunking sailors is a misnorm. drunken sailors only get tattoos. we pay for tattoo removal. if you are asking me what i would like to see these two old people walk around in pretty colors with all that lettuce fruit salad on their thing, yeah probably. we waste more money over here in my book. >> bill: going to cover the tattoo removal. >> no. i just remember lois cap our dame out here in san that barbara was pitching for 50 k for tattoo removal. >> bill: ever been to fargo, north dakota. >> i love the movie. >> bill: 36-year-old school teacher named madian swigert. she made he

obama 43%. also rasmussen asked likely voters about the president's handling of the economy. 37% say good or excellent. 48% say poor. with us now to react fox business anchor lou dobbs. this is the biggest gap that we have seen since the race began. and i'm saying that gay marriage might have had a little something to do with this because this is an overnight. the daily track something overnight. it's right on the heels of president obama coming out for gay marriage. >> it certainly if we have to pick one event, there is no question that the easiest way to put that causal relationship together would be to obviously the president's statement that he is now, he has evolved to same sex marriage support. it's going to be interesting to see what's going on here as we see more polls overtime. but that's really the only variable at work here. >> bill: the economy though is getting shakier and shakier this week the market did very poorly. jp morgan are they out of business now? did wendy's buy them? som

>> about obama? >> sean: yes. >> i would like them to know he is temperamentally unsuited for the job of president. you know, you look at lyndon johnson, he couldn't give a good speech. he couldn't read from the teleprompter, but he understood how to work the levers of power in washington. barack obama is a wonderful speechifier. looks good, great tie. he has no idea how to work washington. he doesn't really have any interest in it, either. vipeople tell me that they attend meetings on foreign affairs with him and he gets a phone from the head of state and he complains in front of everybody, you know what? i have to deal with these congressmen to get my bills passed. of course he does! he doesn't like to do it? maybe that's why there is a disconnect. bill clinton would be up into all hours of the night and talk to anybody who would talk to him. >> ronald reagan and tip o'neill. >> sean: is it after 6:00? >> yeah. >> sean: interesting point. all right. let's talk about meeting jeremiah wright. >> yes.

>> barack obama? >> ask us a hard one. >> cares about average people. >> of course obama is going to win on that. >> consistent? >> probably obama, because of the press -- [laughter] wait, i've got one word to say. obama on the same-sex marriage, right? in favor when he ran for the state senate, opposed when he ran statewide -- >> he evolved. >> that is called a flip flop if you are a republican. >> exactly right. >> straight forward? >> i give that to romney. obviously, fox has failed again. the power of the liberal press. >> the thing about john f. kennedy is that people knew he was privilege, but people like him anyway because he was a real person. >> what does that mean? >> you know what that means. he looked like a real person, not a ken doll. >> give me a break. [laughter] this kind of hagiography -- "he looks like a real person"? >> romney has been playing before conscripted american population, as opposed to the kennedys did look at the people standing in front of barack obama, at the kennedy

>> romney attacked senator obama when senator obama said he would go into pakistan. then romney said he would not move heaven and earth. president obama came into office and he reorganized the bin laden unit in langley. he made them work more closely with tampa, the central command in tampa. with the forces in kabul. he moved heaven and earth. he reorganized. president bush said bin laden was just one person and i don't spend much time with him. five years he was saying to fred barnes and i quote, not a top priority use of american resources. president obama had a different view. he made getting bin laden a top priority and he made a call that bob gates who served president bush and president obama called the gutsiest call he could make. now romney saying anybody would have done it is not by the stated positions of governor romney and the lack of actions by president bush. >> ari? >> it's amazing paul still can't be gracious about it. the fact of the matter is if president obama had not flip-flopped on the very thing he criticized president bush for, enhanced techniq

president obama makes a surprise visit to afghanistan. >> mitt romney responding to the obama campaign saying he hay not have gone after osama bin laden. that accusation against the governor irresponsible? a growing political controversy. >> we, learn to ignore [ bleep ] >> bill: also a gay activist attacks the bible at a conference for young people. some students walk out. outrage is growing. we'll have the latest. >> caution you are about to enter the no-spin zone. the factor begins right now. >> bill: i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. president obama, afghanistan, bin laden, that is the subject of the talking points memo. at 4:00 a.m. afghan time. president told the world we remain strong alleys against the war on terror in general. it marks the anniversary of osama bin laden's death. president did a good thing by going into the war zone, showing the world that the u.s. power is firmly intact. it sends a message that america will not tolerated terrorist attacks but most importantly the xhard in chief he rallied the zbloopts time and again they have called to serve i

i think obama has the bigger problem. he has the worst record of any president since the great depression. second, bureaucratic investment has been a disaster. we had one solar company that went belly up for $2.1 billion and we have solyndra at $185 million. obama has no model of effective job creation as compared to private capital and this is why it will fall flat on his face, plus i was very careful, i didn't go after private equity. you heard the president just now. he's going after all private equity in a way which explains why you had senator warner and the governor of massachusetts who is one of his closest allies, senator feinstien and cory booker on this show. there were 15 or 20 democrats who say this is an inaccurate and wrong approach for the president to be taking. >> if the chief qualification is i'm mitt romney, i worked in private enterprise and therefore that experience is what makes me a job creator when that's not at the core of private equity, that's their not chief function. >> let me go a step furthe

barack hussein obama. the ricketts plan. according to his spokesperson, he is not even the person behind it. this was floated out may 10, 2012, in of all places, chicago, illinois, the home of the president. what is your reaction to what i'm holding in my hand? >> tamron, this is what the opposition party does. they try to defeat the person in the white house. this is not unusual. i don't know why it is so shocking and people are getting been out of shape about it. they're telling what you most people have been saying all along them want to do all they can to oust president obama from the white house themselves don't like the spending, the deficit, they dope like what this country is becoming and they want to do something about it. obviously super pacs have a lot of power and influence to spend their money any way they choose and people can contribute to it. it is illegal, it is not unethical. and i'm sure president obama and his team will do all they can to make sure mitt romney never sees the light of da

both the obama campaign or cory booker for this fact. what private equity has done, yes as a function and the president talked about it today. it's an important economic engine in this country. but there's absolutely no question that private equity and its successes have contributed to the disparity and wealth in the country. >> let me turn to margaret. the problem for the republicans is that while that's great cory booker did what he did, when you see me interview newt gingrich there's a local issue. newt hammered mitt romney exactly on this point week in and week out often on this show. now has to sit there with a straight face trying not to laugh saying actually it's all great. i lot it wrong. >> and the truth is. the numbers wore out. he did get it wrong. because the electorate really backlashed at him. it didn't pay off. if anything, we had a moment of honesty from gingrich. >> the real, was a result of good capitalism. mitt romney had more money to spend than gingrich. $4.8 million in debt, romney bursting with cash. >> and when th

. >> barak hussein obama. >> the co-host neglected to ask obama about this. >> bill? >> once again. consequences of gay marriage. >> i wilt -- will once again tell you, i love the apocalypse. >> once you have gay marriage all of the cats are beating up on the dogs. it is the end of the world. jedediah, as a fan of president obama and "the view" this must have been a nirvana for you. >> it was great. i like these segments. i like the fact that -- i do. i have to give him some props. >> what does props mean some. >> props, kudos, like good job. >> are you propositioning our commander-in-chief? >> that i am not doing, i can promise you. >> the gun they use in a play, a fake gun? >> i am talking a thumbs up. >> are you selling him property? >> you mean proper respect? >> is that what it stands for? >> it is a word i hate. >> thank you for educating us. thank you. >> go ahead. >> andrew breitbart, my buddy, understood this well. you have to penetrate pop culture. these are the little battles, but the war is getting out there and speaking to our kids and getting them to und
