As for -- has some thoughts on Romney and the attack on his business record to -- in Britain and Brett.

The Obama campaign attack on Mitt Romney and Bain Capital was predictable indeed inevitable the Romney camp was caught off guard when he was hit with the job killer charge during the primaries.

Responding defensively that -- it also created lots of jobs that seems to be their response so far this time.

Team Obama though -- team and a weak position to make such charges in light of the president's force closing of hundreds of auto dealerships.

In the administration's takeover of GM and Chrysler thousands of jobs lost.

Then there's Solyndra which went bust despite mr.

Obama's infusion of more than a half billion taxpayer dollars 11100 jobs lost.

It's an Obama spokesman Jay Carney about all that quote.

There are no guarantees about success and failure in the business world that is the way business works and everybody recognizes that.

Well exactly.

The Romney camp could cite this as a classic case of shoe on the other foot disease but it's still a kind of so -- year old man defense instead -- might consider laying out a broad defense of how Bain Capital indeed capitalism itself works.

And to make the moral case for it as the system that is brought the greatest good to the greatest number of people and to point out that is the system most of harmony.

That's a free society leftist by our founders.

In hard economic times that system always comes under attack from the left and requires defenders.

If not the Republican candidate for president.

Then who.

Read a lot of this depends on how big -- body it is for these commercials you know we don't know definitively from the campaign how much money they're putting behind this.

But it generates a lot of coverage we don't necessarily know how many ads are purchased.

Not only that it it it strikes me that tonight for example if the ad buys it the Obama -- who's -- having -- relatively small.

It that I -- may get more exposure on the TV news tonight and it will.

And paid time on television.

After all it's gonna hit fifty states this from our coverage -- that the Romney responsibly roster spots which is a web bad.

Who also get a wide to recover so what happens is now is of these campaigns create these videos.

They -- them on YouTube were tossed him out there make a small by and that catapults them into the public consciousness.

And make some part of debated it's of great to force multiplier moments -- credit Brit thank you.
