For now we hit the story of the top of the show that it caught.

President Obama's campaign ad that attacks Mitt Romney for his role in the GST steel takeover.

It is misleading.

Jumps to be so by many major -- and publications.

Bain Capital actually kept the company alive -- eight years.

Fox News political analyst Juan Williams is in DC.

You know what -- and I don't wanna -- -- -- you with you about -- -- good old bad.

I don't know make that point I think we could go on all day about that what I want to say is this major publications -- -- of that ad is misleading.

That it is factually inaccurate that it is on fat and I think that's a mistake.

For a campaign to put out an ad like that you've already alienated -- moderates within the Democrat party I think this is another mistake.

By the Obama campaign and you say.

I think you're right I think there's problems with the ad now that the mistake is there really tricky issue Stuart because it's -- remember we're talking politics.

Most people will not know of the inaccuracies that represented in that.

Add and its follow.

What most people get out of that add is that Mitt Romney was involved in now -- what Rick Perry governor Texas a fellow Republican called.

Vulture capitalism and that it damage people's lives and that's the message that the Obama people want to send.

And -- the fact checkers and political fact in Stuart -- want to point out the inaccuracies.

They'll -- you know maybe 1%.

Of the nine the nine as opposed the 99% who will get the message from the Obama can't.

Just seems like sometimes this is an inept reelection campaign not as on the -- as we thought they would send him as good as they -- back in 2000 night that's my comment and you side.

That's curious I haven't seen any evidence of that why do you say that's very well of Joseph Biden for example leading on gay marriage pulling the president may be reluctantly behind him.

The railing against the rich the class wolf I'm reading in his class wolf.

And I'm I'm I'm -- that maybe that's a mistake to betray America like that that that's my point.

Not these people are really Smart I I I wouldn't underestimate the Obama team David -- throughout the top David -- is really a hardball player.

And these folks are experience that the difference obviously -- you've -- and he's running as an incumbent this time.

Not as the challenger the outsider.

But they put in place.

All the right.

Basics right now to have a winning formula and got I -- even you know -- you and I often disagree about the president's performance but I think the the American people if you just look at the numbers on the economy would say this president has not performed well up to he's not lived up to expectations and so on his -- airport.

And I'm -- started running out of time I'm are subject but I really wanna get to some that I think is a very sad story and this is -- to -- this look at this poll for second.

Among -- of white middle class voters that are struggling financially Mitt Romney leads President Obama 58 facility to.

The same poll shows that poll nonwhite voters favor Obama three to -- Looks to me a lot we are racially polarized that this presidency is not brought us together really not I don't know whose faulty days but we -- miles apart and I find that -- and you.

Yeah Iowa you know I mean obviously had 43% white voters with -- Obama back in 08.

Now it's down in the thirties and especially white men and then it's especially blue and white -- with less education high school education or less.

Overwhelmingly oppose President Obama.

Then you have on the other hand African Americans Hispanics and blacks in the ninety's Hispanics now -- the seven -- in terms their support for Obama regardless.

Of their income situation.

That is part of it the other part Stewart is to keep in mind.

The younger population the country's disproportionately people of color of the older population -- -- white if you will.

And the consequences you have this huge divide.

And an America we often -- played out in terms of the race but generation only the divide is just as evidence and class wise it's becoming evident as well got it.

Juan Williams everybody I see you everywhere -- have a great holiday spirit YouTube -- good to see again thank you good luck.
