Count me as somebody, my understanding is people invest in private equities because they want a return in their money, they don't want to invest to create jobs.

If Romney would have said that I made a lot of money for the people who invested in me, that is a totally true thing. But Romney put it at issue by claiming that he created these jobs without -- without counting the jobs that they lost.
If he wants to point out the companies that succeeded, people to the companies that failed if he doesn't merit.
Again, it is example of me at the craps table. I don't just get to count what I win. I got to count what I lose, too.
I mean, I'm a little bit older than Romney. I would have remember something like this in high school. That's not -- you -- that's something that you wouldn't forget.
You know, I guess so. Look, things happened in the '60s that certainly wouldn't be acceptable now, this being one of them.
What I found kind of troubling was his response. All his responses are kind of predictable and political.
Well, I mean, first of all, they're just not going to -- they're not going to say, do you like this economy or not, because we know the answer to that. Do you want to go back to the economy we had before? And that Romney is doubling down…
I don't think that -- that Speaker Gingrich or Santorum or Paul will be able to bring him on without some real action on the part of -- on the part of Romney. He's got his work cut out for him by the time he leaves campus.
Well, I think that everybody, most Democrats -- repair their relationship with Gingrich and Santorum. Large constituents within the Republican Party that are still unenthusiastic about Mitt Romney. I don't think that Speaker Gingrich or…
the political fallout that that could cause for President Obama as he heads into full campaign mode for the fall.
I think the president needs to talk more about the middle class, talk about how he's not satisfied with the pace and why he has a jobs bill that's sitting there and languishing and doing nothing at the Congress.
This president has created more jobs in three years than President Bush created in eight.
The number -- this recession has been very, very difficult on a lot of families, particularly middle class families in this country.
What Gene had said is very accurate... this president created more jobs in three years than president Bush created in eight.
I don't think these numbers are very good. I don't think the numbers last month were very good either.
The middle class in this country has been hit by a truck. And, you know, that needs to be acknowledged.
I think it could be a little bit of the latter. I mean, the idea they're doing this now, I mean every energy expert agrees on it. The president doesn't have anything to do with gas prices. But every political person knows that when these…
I just am not sure, technology moves pretty quickly. I can say production is up under this president and consumption is down.
By the same token, he who lives by high energy prices dies by high energy prices.
You know, Erick Erickson, our colleague at CNN, pointed he can't carry the south, he can't carry evangelicals, he can't carry blue-collar voters. I mean, he's got a real problem with basic constituencies in the Republican Party.
Let me be uncharacteristically blunt. I agree with Mrs. Barbara Bush, the grand dame of the Republican Party, who said this is the worst campaign she'd seen in her lifetime.
The Obama people, they're not going wait very long. They're going to start on Governor Romney in the -- in the immediate future here.
