But I'm with senator Bob -- -- -- state of Florida senator during the break was.

You had a very interesting point that.

Trinidad a little little one -- laws it.

This helps -- jazz the dates you can put in those terms but that did did those who might that concerns this is slipping away from the the Romney campaign.

This -- -- them of that.

But this is more than that I mean you know harp and the base the conservatives and believers and limited government are really frustrated how long this president's been able to get away with saying some of the things that just aren't true.

And not having to justify his record.

And I think tonight for the first time they feel if someone stood up -- pointed out the things he's done wrong call them out on the things he was saying that aren't true.

And offered an alternative and I think that's gonna excite a lot of people.

By the same token I thought the president tonight was clearly an uncomfortable.

He's uncomfortable talking about taxes he's uncomfortable talking about the economy he's uncomfortable talking about job creation.

And now we understand why the economy's doing so poorly he just doesn't have a grip on those issues and his basic assumptions about jobs are created are just wrong.

You won't surprise me and I hadn't realized the green technology -- it is now we're over the ninety billion dollar figure.

Global was more poison me and they register over read body language senator it would.

A surprise to the president -- I think he was shocked -- when he turned around when Mitt -- -- and ninety billion dollars -- -- -- two million -- -- that's a stunning figure headed towards whatever we were doing to do you have because he has this attack about oil which by the way is not for the oil -- -- -- that -- -- -- credit allies into the results and accounting treatment -- older than either of the two -- running for president combined and then it fits those who aren't even those companies -- -- -- -- for -- businesses and cost thousands of jobs.

But in addition to that.

Mitt Romney's point was that it's a very small exemption in fact what he gave us the lenders of the world.

Is worth fifty years of that exemption the other powerful moment and something that's really frustrating president goes around talking about this mythical.

Tax cut that we get companies to ship jobs overseas.

Mitt Romney turns to him since I've been in business for twenty I have I -- -- I -- I don't know what you're talking about and the president had no come back for that because it isn't true.

Finally the myths of being exposed and I think that castle was crumbling what.

Atkinson had that since you mentioned that -- old.

Do we have this in our tax code or not -- presence as we do Mitt Romney says we don't president says Mitt Romney has applied -- -- dollar.

Tax cut coming on -- Mitt Romney says it's not five trillion dollars.

Leaving aside your own party and and even the president's party.

Do you think it it confuses people at home and then they have to kind of pick and choose who they think is telling the truth.

Well look I think that they'll be planning a fact checking tomorrow about the reality but here's the important point Mitt Romney said he said look his goal is simple.

He wants to lower the tax rate he wants to simplify the tax code.

But he's not going to do it in a way the growth the debt.

Those are very specific but powerful governing principles now he's -- -- Republicans and Democrats and how to accomplish that.

That's how you get things done in Washington DC.

Not like this president that has tried ram it down our throats.

Basically -- without working with the Republicans.

Force things like the stimulus and obamacare on to the economy without any input of the legislative branch on many occasions that's been counterproductive.

You know they've got to go senators of poets of this morning -- the latest read on Latinos is at 72% -- the president.

Is that -- gonna chambers.

Let me tell you that -- a -- Latinos across America right so you -- massive number of Latino voters in California and in New York those states and unfortunately not in contention.

So what about the Latinos that live in Florida and Virginia and North Carolina Colorado -- residents up in Florida right well but here's the point among Latinos in -- states.

That that the gap is much closer and and to really Florida the press I think -- Mitt Romney is gonna win the Latino vote.

Just yet about -- -- of August Florida itself the latest poll shows that it's a one point -- statistical tie.

Barack Obama won Florida last time by four points I think.

So that means that there are people in Florida.

That voted for him the last time that are not gonna vote for him now that's a trend.

And I think that's a good trend for us senator Rubin thank you very very much to the BZ does that and is looking around as these throngs following -- -- I -- --
