mitt romney's message that barack obama is in over his head. will romney retool this argument if the jobs situations keeps improving? >> i think he'll have to fit improves dramatically. he'll stick with it as long as he can. >> still works. they predicted 8%. economists expects it will bump up before it comes down again. >> yes, i think he'll make that same argument. he's betting on the facts that the mood of the country is still pretty depressed. i do think at some point he's going to have to be careful of this idea that he's laid off a lot of people in his own record. >> he's going to stick to that argument because that's the only rationale that romney has for his candidacy, whatever the numbers are. chris: he's a one-trick pony? >> it's a good trick in a bad economy. chris: well said. thanks for a great round table. john heilemann, andrea mitchell, nia-malika henderson, and howard fineman. that's the show from new hampshire. thanks for watching. we'll see you again next week. [captioning made possible by nbc universal] okay... is this where

the only person who can beat barack obama at this point is barack obama himself. >> you say that, but mitt romney had played a very good campaign so far. he's the first republican, not a sitting president, to win in iowa and new hampshire. what more could he be doing than he is doing? >> well, he's playing a very good game of defense when he has a lot of money working to his benefit, and he's playing defense. he's not tapping into the zeitgeist of the last two or three years. he hasn't done a nod to the tea party whatsoever. he's borderline embarrassed about what's created this in our country where we're finally talking about fiscal sanity, a return to the constitution, all those things. it's going to be interesting because right now there is -- i was just in new hampshire. there's a lack of enthusiasm, and people are trying to make a pragmatic decision. can i get behind this guy the way i got behind john mccain? >> let me switch to michael reagan. is there a lack of enthusiasm? there appears to be. having said that, it is early days, and he has won the first two votes. i mean, he's n

it needs to be about barack obama. and that's where -- >> i was going to come back after the break with that thought. your father, remember he said, no republican should speak ill of another republican. and i think i can ask you about that. and, also, andrew brighton who only speaks ill of everybody. we'll be back after the break and debate that very point. all energy development comes with some risk, but proven technologies allow natural gas producers to supply affordable, cleaner energy, while protecting our environment. across america, these technologies protect air - by monitoring air quality and reducing emissions... ...protect water - through conservation and self-contained recycling systems... ... and protect land - by reducing our footprint and respecting wildlife. america's natural gas... domestic, abundant, clean energy to power our lives... that's smarter power today. >>> ladies and gentlemen welcome we have an opportunity in this race. we have an opportunity to be the true conservative, the true conservativ

but barack obama. >> sean: let me ask this. speaking of barack obama. the campaign has been aggressive. an argument can be made maybe it's making some people uncomfortable. end up being a good process because it will be billion dollars that will be waged against you. it will be a billion dollars against the republicans. you want dirty air and dirty water and kids and autism and elderly defending themselves. that is what they said already. i guess, if you get the nomination are you willing to go against president obama. bill ayers fair game. is it just the economy or foreign policy or some of his background that was ignored in 2008 is that legitimate? >> i think anything that is truthful about a is legitimate to discuss in a campaign. there is no question, president obama has a lot of explaining to do. he has failed the american people. he didn't turn the economy around. he didn't get us more safe from iran. he has failed. i will point that out day in and day out. i'm afraid president obama will do what he's been doing is dissenting from the truth and i

beat barack obama. that's the number one certain for republicans. they are hungry, hungry for somebody who can go in and debate fiercely against barack obama and hopefully beat barack obama. a majority of south carolina republicans say gingrich is the better candidate. if he can carry anything like that, that he's the better experienced to be president, that he's the better candidate to beat obama, if he can carry that into florida, romney has problems. >> gloria, let's talk about mitt romney. it's been a bad week. i thought his performances in the debates were lackluster. he looked weak on this whole issue, and now he's under real attack and he doesn't seem to have a change of gear. whereas gingrich looks fired up. >> right. and romney needles to have a change of gear. i think what the campaign discovered is inevitability is not a great strategy and i don't think they're going to do that again and they're not going to talk about how electable he is anymore. you're going to see a different, finely tuned

de comenzar la campaña. >>> el presidente barack obama usará el poder de su tercer discurso del estado de la unión para convencer a un pueblo que está descontento con el estado del país, que lo mantenga en su puesto. >>> voy a presentar un plan que perdure, dijo el mandatario. >>> quiere informarle al país, qué es lo que heredó y cómo vamos a progresar en el futuro. >>> impulsará a los sectores de energía y manufactura, será un mensaje populista, sin mencionar a mitt romney, que hizo público su pago de impuestos. >>> esta noche va a hablar de cómo proteger la clase media, cómo abrir las puertas al pobre para entrar a la clase media y cómo el rico tiene que contribuir más. >>> los republicanos ya rechazaron los temas por adelantado parece que lo que veremos es una repetición de lo que hemos escuchado. >>> también se dice que se tiene que promover la unión. >>> el presidente viene y nos trata de dividir, decir que este grupo tiene más que otro. >>> indica que lo que tiene que haber es igualdad de oportunidades para todos y el énfasis de crear empleos. >>> en el primer

we all want to beat barack obama. and it's a-- >> and americans fear more than anything that barack obama get-- >> and if you find that's an issue, i would love to see gingrich debate him, it would be a clear line of demarcatio demarcation. and most the people would love to see them. lincoln douglas style debates. if he's not the nominee we don't get a chance to see that. the governor would expect the attacks on bain capital and his time there to come from president barack obama, and not republicans. it seems in the next week or so it's not going away as an issue and we had governor perry on and he doubled down with very harsh language tonight. will the governor respond to that. >> i think that people understand these are desperate attacks by people desperate to be in the white house. and he has a message what he forsees in the economy. are we going to be an entitlement society 0 are an opportunity society. >> sean: you know what i don't understand. i think there's justifiable anger at wall street and i really do and

in the end it is going to be a referendum on barack obama. did he fulfill the promises that he made to the american people? did he live uh up to the standards that barack obama set for himself on employment, jobs, the debt, the deficit? the answer to all of those questions is, no it has been a miserable failure and that is going to be what this election is about, and i think that as a referendum on this president and where we are in this country he loses every day of the week and twice on sunday. >> you saw sarah palin's facebook posting where she says this is not gingrich versus romney, it is the republican establishment versus the tea party. is that how you see it? >> i don't -- i don't see it that way, but i do think that she taps into a good point, which is that people are angry. they are angry with washington, they are angry in many ways with both parties, and that we know we have to get serious about our debt and our deficits in this country, and, you know, when paul ryan and the republicans come out with an entitlement reform package t

when i started covering barack obama and michele obama they were barack and michele. the extraordinary thing that i was watching happen was watching these regular people become president and first lady of the united states. what i was seeing is it wasn't a process that happened on inauguration day when he took the oath but a learning curve. made all the more dramatic in the obama story because of national and political life and the fact that they are the first african-american president and first lady. we see a couple things happening in this book. we see people learning to take their partnership that used to be a private thing and turn it into a white house partnership. they have a tough landing initially in the white house and turn it around. the third thing the book is about the most fascinating thing i find about barack obama which is his struggle with politics. after all these years they can't get over the fact that the politician has a complex relationship with the business he is in. i worked on this book for two years and published it. the white house cooperate

of against barack obama, his failed policies? are you confident the resentment building between some of the campaigns will go away? >> the longer this campaign goes on, the better it is for republicans. this idea that the bickering or the intensity of it, that just gets people more active and involved. you know what we are doing? we are talking about the issue. we are the center of attention in the national media right now. one of the reasons the national media wants this race to be over, so they can start focusing on who the nominee is so they can start beating their brains in. the longer we keep it going, talking about the failures of this administration and talking about the differences between the candidates, that is a good thing for the republican party. it's a good thing to be able to defeat barack obama instead of giving him the free field of carpet bombing whoever the nominee is starting in february. let's keep the thing going, keep it focused on the differentialiation between the candidates and we will be better served f

it needs to be about barack obama. and that's where -- >> i was going to come back after the break with that thought. your father, remember he said, no republican should speak ill of another republican. and i think i can ask you about that. and, also, andrew brighton who only speaks ill of everybody. we'll be back after the break and debate that very point. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 let's talk about the personal attention tdd# 1-800-345-2550 you and your money deserve. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 at charles schwab, that means taking a close look at you tdd# 1-800-345-2550 as well as your portfolio. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 we ask the right questions, tdd# 1-800-345-2550 then we actually listen to the answers tdd# 1-800-345-2550 before giving you practical ideas you can act on. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 so talk to chuck online, on the phone, tdd# 1-800-345-2550 or come in and pull up a chair.

do you have a problem calling barack obama the food stamps president? >> i'm not surprised. >> i think he's the food stamps president. we haven't had this many people on food stamps in the history of the country. >> but this isn't because of president obama, this is because of the economy we are in. >> can you give me a date when he starts being responsible for the economy? at what point do we get to say it's barack obama's fault? is it five years down the road? >> wait a minute, sean. if it is truly -- we were talking about this and personal responsibility. if it is truly barack obama's fault that everybody is on food stamps then we need to blame all the rich ceos that no one wants to tax in the employment sector. >> what about the racist, asking people to be -- were you ever a janitor? i used to wash dishes by hand. >> i was a dishwasher. i hated it but i was in a restaurant. >> it's an awful way to make a livingism can say that from firsthand experience burning was it a good experience. >> it was a great experience. my parents made me, i had no choic

beat barack obama. that's the number one certain for republicans. they are hungry, hungry for somebody who can go in and debate fiercely against barack obama and hopefully beat barack obama. a majority of south carolina republicans say gingrich is the better candidate. if he can carry anything like that, that he's the better experienced to be president, that he's the better candidate to beat obama, if he can carry that into florida, romney has problems. >> gloria, let's talk about mitt romney. it's been a bad week. i thought his performances in the debates were lackluster. he looked weak on this whole issue, and now he's under real attack and he doesn't seem to have a change of gear. whereas gingrich looks fired up. >> right. and romney needles to have a change of gear. i think what the campaign discovered is inevitability is not a great strategy and i don't think they're going to do that again and they're not going to talk about how electable he is anymore. you're going to see a different, finely tuned

it's barack obama. don't do anything that weakens anybody. >> i don't think that's possible, though. if you could possibly -- seen how effective the ads were for mitt romney through his super pac or whatever it is, is it possible for them to stay positive? >> at this point? >> i like the theory behind it. i've talked it a lot of people who liked that underlying theory of -->> the idea. >> of not going negative. is that a gender thing, by the way? do more women like that than men? what do you think? >> i think everybody would like to keep it positive and on the up and up. but we saw mitt romney last night on the hannity show also talking about all those ads and the negative ads. look, when barack obama and his billion dollars come rolling out, you got to figure they're not all going to be positive. >> listen, you two kids living in a bubble, i know boxing and i know one thing. >> thank you, john travolta. >> there's nothing better than a pre-fight fight at the press conference before the fight. you have

en new hampshire, pero lo que sabemos que mitt romney seguirá atacando al presidente barack obama,. >>> interesante, donde ha quedado newt gingrich que está batallando por los últimos puestos. >>> después de estar casi en primer lugar. >>> y rick perry desde carolina del sur, también envió un mensaje, que dice que piensa que será la alternativa a mitt romney. >>> muchas gracias, ahora pasamos a las repercusiones de esta noche, angie nos ha dicho que ha sido una noche histórico para mitt romney, carlos rajo, mitt romney vuelve a ganar, hace historia, dos victorias consecutivas. >>> qué tal josé, muy buenas noches, como adelantaban en la nota, básicamente casi mitt romney es el candidato inevitable, a mi juicio casi un milagro impediría que el señor mitt romney fuera el candidato republicano. >>> lo único que puede pasar es un traspié o algo del mismo candidato mitt romney, que en estas últimas 48 horas ha cometido errores, qué tiene que hacer mitt romney para tratar de garantizar el liderazgo que lleva, de dos estados, concluyendo la elección. >>> el gran problema, j

but, and this is important, barack obama is saying that won't happen to you as long as barack obama is president. now it is clear what his message is to voters. he's saying hey, you're safe with me. but i can't guarantee the next guy isn't going to disappear your son and hook his nipples up to a truck battery. or, as he used to say, hope. but with the economy where it is, folks, he's going to have to go even further. i think next he should introduce, sign and then oppose a law granting him the command never chief prima nucti, the right to deflower any man's wife on their wedding night. now of course, president obama would never do that. but president gingrich? do you really want to take that chance? or to make sure he never has to leave office, obama could simply sign the law allowing ex-presidents to hunt americans for sport. up until now that was only legal for vice presidents. so-- (applause) i miss that good man. so if you're up set because you voted for barack obama thinking he would be better than george bush on indefinite detention, you better vote for him again. not because he'

that's the exact opposite of barack obama. >> but barack obama does not live in a man key where the other guys are bad guys. lynn sweet, you cover chicago politics. i think melinda nailed it. the tough tactics of organization and politics are the right who make everybody on the left evil. not just different in terms of their judgments. >> absolutely. i think newt, who says he's an historian, needs to do some more resear research. saul alinsky never wanted to overthrow the system. he wanted to change it so everybody had a fair shake. he didn't want to destroy the table. he wanted everybody to have a seat on it, chris. and that's what he did in his earliest days of organizing in chicago. >> i think he uses the word alinsky because it sounds like a jewish name, but he uses it to suggest trotski. 90% of the people have no knowledge of the guy, but it sounds like trouble. >> i was just in south carolina, chris, and i did ask people because he had been using this. i was in his election night hotel. people don't know who he is. i want to add one more thing. organizing sounds like union, conserva

he has to meet barack obama where he is. what we saw in the debates last week where he is more feisty and commanding, that's necessary going forward. >> and also, jack, i imagine you were delight about this, turned this whole debate from his wealth and success from what looked like a negative because he looked so defensive about it into much more of a positive and finally stood up i guess you would have done a long time ago, hey, i've been successful, so what? that's the american way, isn't it? >> finally, he did it. it took him a long time. he's not a braggard guy. candid like that doesn't come easy. patting himself on the back wasn't easy and he did it. he did it in a first class way. he is a first class person. in doing that, he put the thing on the table. people might not like it. john kennedy was a wealthy man. franklin roosevelt was wealthy. teddy was wealthy, we had wealthy presidents. >> he said the important thing, did not inherit my wealth. people are under the impression he was born with a silver spoon. i did not

he has to look as if he can do that with barack obama. not just in the republican debate. >> last night, newt gingrich abandoned the job creation argument. his job creation numbers have been repudiated. his tax figures will now be raked over. this is a moment not of populism in this country. but he has now entered a moment which i think his team never anticipated. there was a smugness of being the candidate. that led him to be unaware of the mood in the country at the moment. a view that the elites in this country, that the government is rigd against you. you need to find a way to open it up. >> how do you explain why mitt romney is having so much difficulties with this issue? what is he trying to hide? >> on the taxes? >> yeah. >> i don't know. we'll know when we get perhaps more than two years. once you start from maybe i'll release one year, i'm going to release two. what's in the third year. if you release the third, what's in the fourth? >> i don't think it has anything to do -- i have been with enough candidates, i don't think he ha

i want to do everything i can to make sure we defeat barack obama. i just think a clear reagan conservative has a much better chance of defeating him than somebody who comes out of a massachusetts moderate background. >> schieffer: so what you're saying is that he would be the weakest candidate? >> well, i think it's very hard for him. i don't want to pick weakest or strongest. i think it's very hard for him to differentiate romney care from obama care and very hard for him to differentiate appointing liberal judges which he did when he was the governor of massachusetts. these are things that are going to come up. i think for the conservative movement it makes it more difficult frankly. that's why i think here in south carolina i'm probably going to win next saturday because as a georgia reagan conservative i fit much more comfortably with the average south carolina republican. >> schieffer: mr. speaker, i want to ask you about something you told us when you were out in iowa. you said flatly that mitt romney was a liar. i got to thinking about that.

as the republicans tell it, it is about barack obama. he didn't get to the white house last week, they will tell you, he has been there three years and he has made things worse. the nastiness of this republican primary season is but a preview of what is to come. our system has its flaws, we don't find out much about issues but we do find out a lot about the candidates, their backgrounds, character and how they respond to pressure, good things to know about those seeking the most powerful office in the world, but the best part is, we get to make our choice for whatever reason we choose. whether they ever heard what he said or even know who he was i get the feeling a lot of people will be thinking the way kevin white thought, comparing the candidates, not to the almighty but to the alternative. kevin white was 82. back in a minute. i am mark sanchez with a message for women. this is the actual sound of my heartbeat. >> schieffer: and that's all the time we have today. thanks for watching this special one hour edition of face the nation, an

remember who barack obama ran as the first time? he was the big anti-war -- he was going to gut everything, pull america out, pull america back. then he sat down and realized that, you know, if he was going to run for re-election, he couldn't, given the threats, do what we wanted to do. president obama in a second term as commander in chief, he said he was going to manage the decline of our military and focus all resources to grow the welfare state. this is a man who will do just as much damage to our military posture as ron paul would do. >> sean: last question. one of the things where i notice that the mitt romney -- john mccain did it yesterday, hit you on the issue of earmarks. now, the constitution does say that congress authorizes spending and money. >> right. >> sean: you defend the practice. you have been -- when asked about it, you didn't retreat from it because you think, what? >> well, i would say, you are right, the congress is authorized under the constitution to spend moan. jim demint, who was someone who focused on re

they will hold their noses because they hate barack obama so much. they do not like barack obama because he happens to be black. it's just that simple. and i'll give you two good example ps s of that. a woman that is close to me said in 2008, in the primary when he beat hillary clinton, she is a democrat, her whole life and she is a big hillary supporter and i said you are going to switch to obama and she said no i cannot vote for that black guy. >> you still think that race trumping everything? >> i do. they hate him so much. fast forward to now, a friend has an obama sign, two realtors called her and said, would you please take down your obama signs, you are devaluing home prices that are on the market. now, i'm sorry, you can call that whatever you want. it's racism, it's in your face -- >> or maybe democratic homes don't sell -- we will talk more about this later on in the show, it's of course martin luther king day. where do you square on that? >> i am 100% in line with jimmy. south carolina is certainly a place where racism is palpable and an o

obama en noviembre >>> y donde está rick perry? él está haciendo campaña en carolina del sur, una de las primarias críticas para la supervivencia de los candidatos, para romney, aunque gane, la claves de su futuro depende de cuánta ventaja le saque a sus adversarios aquí pero romney no debería cantar victoria todavía, porque te acordás, en el 2008, decían que iba a ganar el presidente barack obama, y de sorpresa >>> en el último minuto w ganó clinton >>> y también contraste con iowa la semana pasada, los votantes aquí republicanos tienen otras preocupaciones, por lo menos distintas a los votantes en iowa >>> es un electorado muy especial que están votando en cifra record, y según una última encuesta, 60% de los republicanos votantes dijeron que están votando porque están preocupados por la economía w en contraste con iowa que eran 42% >>> y 33% votan por el candidato que sea capaz de ganarle al presidente barack obama, uen mensaje muy fuerte para carolina del sur >>> efectivamente, angie, muchísimas gracias, ah

we knew little about barack obama four years ago before the iowa caucuses. afterwards, we know a lot about him. pay attention to how he won iowa, you learn how he would win the presidency. >> which is the candidate that the white house would like to be running against for the rest of this year? >> ron paul, they would love to run against him. they would love to run against rick perry. >> anyone but mitt romney. >> the least like to run against, mitt romney, mitt romney. >> thank you for coming. we will have more on the events in iowa later on. is a case that came to define race relations in britain, the murder of a young black man. two white men had been found guilty in the trial of stephen's lawrence's murder. >> an unprovoked racist attack near a bus stop. a young black man fatally stabbed. a notorious murder. the police watched their suspects. public anger boiled over. a bereaved family fought for justice. today, after 18 years, they got it. as she's mother wept heard the verdict ran out. >> how can i celebrate when i knew that the state could have happen
