Romney hood.
The newest catch phrase for president Obama's attacks on Mitt Romney.
-- value have to -- -- recent group is in DC with that.
That sounds like a pretty good catch phrase Robin Hood in reverse it was -- it got a great response from his audience you think it walks.
A little bit yes I do and by the way I've tried very diligently to suppress my college records.
-- don't work is still working on that -- Stewart.
Hopefully you know we'll ever see that.
If you yes I think I think the tax stuff is really making a very big difference on two fronts obviously.
This disgraceful.
-- Joseph McCarthy tactic by Harry Reid is working.
I think that's why the White House is not repudiating -- Harry Reid because it's driving up Romney's negatives.
Likewise I think Romney's negatives are also going higher because of what Obama is saying about who benefits who gets current.
By the Romney tax plan Romney's got to hit back a lot harder on -- Yes he hasn't so -- off.
I -- you -- his response yesterday was to go inside look I agree with president Clinton's welfare reform.
And I basically want to get back to that welfare reform after present -- -- killed it.
As my colleague -- David Asman he has said that's a bank shops it's not a direct go -- it -- -- That's -- you know and -- blew a lot of us who follow this full time don't quite get it we don't quite understand.
Why Romney has not been more assertive but frankly I think he and the Republicans have made a compelling argument.
Why Obama should be fired the bigger part of the story -- has not made a compelling argument why he should be hired that still is missing.
When the president goes to these fundraisers with Harvey Weinstein and on the win to a when he goes of these things.
Who do you think that -- it up pulls in money for him.
But does it bring in votes.
At this I don't they certainly want him to be appealing to be on the -- -- is of this world.
It's the whole thing is so unsavory.
I as I -- there were no virgins in the world of fund raising its eye on both sides it's an unseemly thing you have to hold your nose.
Look the other way they're so desperate for money.
It obviously right now Obama is trailing in fund raising his trailing Mitt Romney so he's gonna have to do a lot more of that is based doesn't like -- you're right Stuart.
But I don't think it's gonna cost them a lot of votes why is -- trailing in fundraising.
Well a lot of rich people don't like him.
They can be to be blunt I think an awful lot of wealthy people feel -- I think his rhetoric toward the financial industry has been so provocative.
That he's turned off a lot of potential.
Contributors.
As I understand that there are certain rules electoral rules that -- Mitt Romney cannot spend as much as he perhaps would like to spend right now he's going to wait until a little laid up.
West front -- -- -- and not subject to the same rules he spent 400 million.
That's why this -- is on depleted so he's gonna go out -- double time on fundraising between now and the election is that is that accurate about the rules.
Yes Stewart who once run he's the nominee he can start spending a lot of his own money for now it's money raised by Karl Rove for Sheldon Adelson people like that.
Mean I understand the Obama strategy drive up your opponent's negatives real high.
That's why Obama spent all this money on ads.
But once we get past Labor Day the date.
The balance will be tilting in the other direction.
The financial gloves are off asked the latest -- -- Creek valley I won't look into college prep school it's please don't know -- can dissect with -- -- All right they -- all right thanks very much right.
