I think this is a debate that actually helps Mitt Romney. The more this election is fought over economic matters, the economy...

I think when you look at his record in its totality and you look at the reputation he has as a fixer of economies, that's what this election is going to come down to.

Barack Obama doesn't... have this distrust of all things private, private economy, the private sector.

He acts as if none of his policies have anything to do with the bad economy that we have right now.

But President Obama's budget, if he gets everything he's asked for, would increase it by $10 trillion, twice the amount.

If we don't do anything about our debt we're risking the full faith and credit of the United States.

Barack Obama's issue today is debt. It's his job to deal with it.

Barack Obama was a United States senator, he opposed raising the debt limit. He called it unpatriotic to raise the debt limit.

Every president has to deal with the issues that are on the plate in the era in which they serve.

We can't have a debt this high.

If we don't do anything about our debt, we're risking the full faith and credit of the United States.

I think what you're hearing is in 2012 the president will run a blame and blame and complain and not solve. That's a formula to be a one-term president.

You wonder why the private sector in America, the business community is not generating jobs... it's because they don't trust President Obama because he is so anti-business.

If they're a vulture, the private sector is a vulture. That's the problem I have with President Obama at large. That's why the private economy is so hurting in this -- under the Obama years and the only group that's doing well is the…

You're not going to see a surge in job creation in this country so long as President Obama sits in the White House.

It's unfair but it's worse than that because it's really an indication of the president's world eye view.

Barack Obama will only attack anybody if they ever let somebody go in their job, if they ever laid somebody off in their job. It's fundamentally anti-capitalist.

Twenty-three million unemployed, 8.1 percent unemployment is pretty good?
