It's both sides. You can't blame one party.

To quote the president, the private sector's doing just fine.

Governor Romney wants to create jobs through the private sector. The president wants to create jobs through the public sector, through the government.

I think frankly the October surprise of this election will be the bottom falls out on President Obama's numbers and Mitt Romney will probably win a comfortable election.

The only way it goes away is if job creation in this country gets strong, and I don't know an economist who believes that will be the case.

The president basically said all those rich people, they are just doing fine.

If you're the president you want to make it all about Mitt Romney. I think that's why they're going so hard after Bain.

Yes. And kudos to Bill. That's a very frank acknowledgment.

If you're the president, you want to make it all about Mitt Romney.

You can't avoid it, but that's what good campaigning comes down to.

If you're Governor Romney, you want to make it a referendum about how bad the economy is.
