All from India as a President Obama he says his campaign is not getting hostile this -- this from yesterday.
If you look at the overall predictor of our campaign.
And the ads that I've approved.
And -- produced by my campaign you'll see that.
We point out short differences between the candidates.
But we don't go out of bounds.
Former Clinton advisor and that's important to mention how grateful McClintock advising his name is Doug showed an he has via -- effect that.
What do you make of the president saying look is not personal it's not -- day.
He Parse his words very carefully.
Because the ad in question the one where he accuses.
Mitt Romney and Bain Capital of giving a woman cancer was produced by.
A super -- affiliated with him that he's raise money for but is technically independent so while.
Technically what he said is true.
The spirit of it is just plain wrong he is running a nasty campaign -- of course he is here's what they've concluded.
They can't win on the merits.
His record is not a good what people think that they are less well off than they -- Four years ago consequently they believe that they have to demonize governor Romney and sadly Stewart for you when those on the right.
Governor Romney is cooperating.
You think you you think that this tactic of and the president.
You think it's a winning tactic it's pretty bad I understand -- it may be the only thing he's got is the best -- -- strap right.
I don't think that's a winning strategy.
-- Stewart I don't believe it is necessarily a winning strategy but.
Tactically they've been beating Romney day after day week after week I take your point that and a big election people ultimately vote on bigger things.
The president has still at the convention talk about the future because unless he has a vision for the future I agree with you -- -- tough to went.
I think the Romney campaign is actually gotten out front on a few issues notably Medicare.
When do you think that's a lousy strategy because Democrats win on Medicare I think -- the Romney team of gotten out -- -- that -- have gone on the attack.
Forcing the president to go on the defensive.
I think there -- out front not following.
Prefer the president's view on Medicare.
To either governor Romney or Paul Ryan's I think the Republicans are frankly leaving with a very weak issue they should be talking growth.
Jobs.
And stimulating the economy they have been silent for so many months Stewart it's almost impossible to fathom why is it.
Not impossible that Romney Ryan beat up the president on -- take that issue away from him and then.
Go -- go easy on Medicare and then move on to jobs in the economy which -- -- -- issues that every American.
Just as the campaign season really gets into -- idea.
Maybe it's a good.
Strategy.
It's entirely possible that we'll try to do that but they get about a week when the vice president is announced to have a free -- I wouldn't use that -- run to go after the top issue that your neighbors and my neighbors are concerned about jobs and the economy rather than Medicare.
Bottom line I think -- made -- mistake.
I believe the President Obama will coal is the Obama stock market rally and try to take credit for I think that's going to be his strategy.
I think however that he's really -- -- -- of Romney.
-- the rally because people are anticipating that maybe we can get something going in the private sector with a Romney victory and you say are.
I say this is a very this most recent rally is a very tepid one people are deeply skeptical and what the White House is more scared of than anything else.
Is to take credit for something.
That evaporates very quickly so I think the president is loath to do it especially in light of that comment a couple of weeks ago the private sector's doing.
Just fine I don't think the president wants to take credit for too much good news in the markets given that there has been a lot of bad news so I think he's going to be very very hesitant.
To take credit.
May be at the end of the election held -- but right now I think he's gonna be very cautious if election were held today.
I agree it would be very very close but I think Mitt Romney would still -- and you say I say the electoral map if you go through it as such it would probably go to President Obama.
And I am not an Obama supporter on -- -- and company support.
Was that you'll that was that as a finalist line that was better be very good inspect you Carthage well Bosnia smelting plant will get -- invited back they'll look in the new talking point is all that I could come -- -- -- comes from years of experience.
From the heart of death threats you have excellent -- -- not sure if I don't think you're.
