axelrod held a press conference to discuss mitt romney's economic record as governor of massachusetts. mitt romney supporters attempted to shout down the speakers during the event, which took place in front of the massachusetts state house. this is just over 30 minutes. >> good morning. thank you for being here. my name is pat hazarddad. i'm the speaker pro tem of the house of representatives. it's so interesting to see people here who don't agree with us. and to see the props that they are using. bubbles, bubbles that were just like the promises that mitt romney made to us. filled with nothing and immediately broken. i'm here as a former middle school teacher and the former chair of the committee on education. mitt romney either didn't care what it takes or he just didn't want to do it. because his record as governor proves, and i know firsthand, that his view of education was that it was a luxury and not an economic engine for improvement. under mitt romney, who wanted to change the total way that we provided education, he wanted to privatize two of our most important colleges. he w

actually taken place yet, nobody is feeling them yet until 2014 if you are mitt romney, one of the central arguments is that this president has expanded government, he has created new entitlements and so doing, actually hurt economic security you made it harder for people to create jobs. i don't think he goes back on that he announced over a year ago this week, central premise was i'm going to repeal the health care law. so, i don't think that that argument diminishes just because it was found to be constitutional t can be constitutional and still be a bad idea. this is still going to be the battleground of politics, particularly because you can be opposed to health care and not take a benefit from someone. that's why time is of the essence. once this thing gets hold it is very hard to take something away once it has been given. nobody has really been given anything yet. >> we are going to hear from the president at some point later today about this. david gregory, thanks to you. chris matthews, andrea mitch, chuck todd. much more from all of them. look this is the decision. people

party convention, the sign you can see on there, is obama presidential library. the mitt romney for president campaign paid the expensed for the key note speaker at that convention this weekend. they flew newt gingrich to missoula, montana, to go to the convention with the outhouse out there. they paid for him to provide the culminating speech to the weekend's events. there's no word that he commented on the, for a good time, call michelle outhouse decoration, but it's interesting he was there on the mitt romney campaign dime. he did a fund-raiser for mr. romney when he was there, and his trip was paid for by campaign donations. now that the republican party has their nominee for president, mr. romney's candidacy, i think, has been inbued with retroactive inevitably, of course, he's the nominee, look who was in the field running against him. that's the main stream and beltway and the liberal and democratic take on what happened in the process this year, but it's interesting to note that's not the way the republicans see it. if they saw it the same way, they would be keeping mitt rom
