Governor Mitt Romney tried to take President Obama to school today over his education plan and what quickly evolved into a debate about who's really out of touch.
Chief political correspondent Carl Cameron with today's election lessons.
-- -- toward an urban Philadelphia charter school and told teachers and community leaders the education crisis in their communities -- nationwide has reached a tipping point.
He'll have a better perspective of that -- that I do but -- from my perspective our failure.
-- to provide kids with the skills they need for the jobs today and tomorrow is a crisis right.
Today Romney noted a recent McKinsey Global Institute study suggesting class -- less important than good educators for all the the youngest students one teacher suggested he's misinformed.
Romney who's been portrayed by the president and attacked -- as -- out of touch corporate raider interested more in profits than people.
Said the president is fighting education reform because he values teachers union donations more than educating the next generation.
He talks like he's for the underprivileged.
But when it comes to the money that comes from the teachers yet union he's putting that -- you know the campaign cash ahead of that the needs of our kids.
Mr.
Obama suggested Wednesday night that money so out of touch he thinks Americans are hurting because they don't work hard enough those of us -- Bruce.
-- a lot of time.
Talking a lot of lot of Americans.
Come to realize the problem it isn't the American people aren't productive enough.
Our productivity is actually higher than it's ever been.
You been -- -- harder than ever.
-- this morning argued is the president and vice president's lack of understanding and hostility to the American system that strangling growth.
No question but that he's attacking capitalism -- it in part I think because he doesn't understand.
How -- a free economy works.
He's never had a job in the free economy there has as Vice President Biden the latest Democrat to repudiate Obama's attack on Romney for a company that closed after Romney's former private equity firm Bain Capital got involved.
DC super lawyer -- noted defender of Bill Clinton in the ninety's Lanny Davis.
Romney wasn't even there when that plant went down that plan was about to go bankruptcy before being bought it brought it back.
And in fact created jobs -- the ad is misleading because it omitted those facts apart from the fact the person acting.
Is currently -- Obama Butler.
The general election TV ad war is providing something a stark -- distillation of the competing messages.
President Obama's first two TV commercials were negative attacks on Romney's business career.
-- released the second -- today so far only positive descriptions of the actions he has been promising for a year he would implement on day one so at least for now.
He can claim to be the positive one.
For now for now we'll see Carl thank you.
