Maine has a new data out this morning blasting Mitt Romney for his days at Bain Capital it focuses on -- steel company the Bain Capital -- which later went bankrupt.
Jordan -- company now is Jason Mattel.
All of all of -- Hollywood hypocrites Jason welcome back hey thanks Stuart for having me -- seems to me like President Obama is jumping on the JPMorgan.
Mess.
And sort of characterizing.
It Mitt Romney.
These typical Wall Street that nasty guys there evil that capitalists vote for me not for them.
What we knew this was coming it was predictable.
It's so offensive -- that that Barack Obama would actually criticizing Mitt Romney on job creation.
When Barack Obama has overseen 8% unemployment his entire presidency -- we have the lowest job participation rate.
In thirty years so it's totally offensive that he would he would go and that line but.
It in defense of Mitt Romney.
At least he's handled I think the that this line of attack ably in the primary Newt Gingrich came at him with the same line at Bain Capital and was able to hold his argument I don't think it's -- I think.
I think it's gonna fall flat since OK so you don't think it's a successful -- techno -- because Mitt Romney has dealt with this are ready and able to show hey listen -- in the free market -- deal with capitalism some people.
Yes lose their job but if you have a growing economy.
Then people can find other jobs are probably the Obama economy knows finding -- -- -- -- job and you can't find when you -- on unemployment.
And I mean.
It's you don't think that the JPMorgan loss resonates bankers acting badly again losing a ton of money taxpayer a down the road may be on the hook.
President Obama capitalizes on that goes after Mitt Romney on that basis you don't think that's it anyway successful.
No only if Mitt Romney's able to hit it and so okay.
You know JPMorgan -- these billions of -- what does Barack Obama done under his stewardship of the economy he's lost millions of -- moreover -- -- Ratcheted up the debt.
By five trillion dollars under his presidency.
And he's we have some things -- we have a failed stimulus so as long as Mitt -- it would make the pivot.
Find what happened -- JPMorgan.
And and it will us billions of dollars and and investments I investors are losing money.
Input to that brought moderate he's radical turnaround is right Herman -- are -- to a record and what show there's a difference between Mitt Romney -- Private investment -- being capital and and and these companies and the public treasury with Barack Obama has made a mockery of and raided.
And saddle generations to come with obscene amount of how do you think Mitt Romney is doing so far because he's not come across as a -- guy who's beating -- President Obama.
He's -- kind of he's almost a step back go -- lot of class.
-- you -- you rankings doing as a candidate.
Okay are -- OK -- political but that that age he just became.
If the the candidate for the Republicans I mean he's not -- officially a candidate.
It just became the two man race this is so early 100 you wanted to come out and then go back hard the president I I want his vice president.
To do that because Mitt Romney's character is a reserve type of guy either classic type that you have to you have to be true to yourself so -- want to be anything he's not comfortable with.
But Jason why isn't -- coming out maybe he did this more during the elected during excuse me the debate cycle but explaining against this -- What -- is he did in the public sector what private equity is what alternative investment -- bottom line what capitalism is.
He should be out there saying listen this is part of making money this is how you keep the wheels of the economy don't.
-- I I agree he should fully embrace that he's not coming out and being strong enough in this juncture this.
And it just came out I mean it was it was just released and I -- he's gonna have an entire campaign season to.
To respond -- fundamentals likely to -- about about the response by the way I've got Romney's reaction to the two -- this is Romney's reaction to that Obama at this and -- just come out it is a fast response his what does that.
We welcome the Obama campaign's attempt to pivots back to jobs.
And a discussion of that failed -- cool.
Mitt Romney helped create more jobs in his private sector -- -- a more jobs as governor of Massachusetts the President Obama has for the entire nation.
I think and.
That's -- enterprise that it could.
It's kind of either we can write these response this book that the good thing before for Mitt Romney is is the pivot back -- job that brought.
Obama wants to talk about jobs he wants to talk about the operation in the economy.
We won't have that the -- and most people know this economy isn't an awful mess it's like Barack Obama -- spike the football have a tough stand top down dance on.
I stagnant economy is stagnant economy would have been worse -- -- if we didn't accomplish what we did.
That's not really all a winning formula for -- election in of people -- the election in November who wins.
I'm not gonna prognosticate and now there's so many different factors how nasty can -- -- get from here.
It shouldn't get will be get really -- -- And they sometimes get from want to win an election Jason -- -- thank you very much for joining as young man and we appreciate that the youth vote right now.
