On Hannity Romney surrogate and former New Hampshire governor John Sununu.

Went head to -- with -- Juan Williams over the president's comments about what it takes for American businesses to succeed take a listen to us.

All the president has been doing is condemning success.

How can you how can you be president of America.

How can you be president of this country if you condemned the success that America is noted for.

And then when you didn't mean the business people.

Particularly the small business people that you hope.

Will create some of the jobs that this administration hasn't been able to coax.

A lot of the private sector.

When you insult them use scare them again -- they're not going to make investments here and create jobs with a president like that I guarantee you.

So what we are seeing in the private sector is -- hoarding of capital there waiting to see the result of the presidential election.

If -- President Obama is elected that capital goes off -- if I'm these elected they -- equipment and they start hiring here.

-- Johnson in other words that people of America are being punished by their rich right now who is -- they are hoarding capital none other than I don't mean what if I had recommended that they have they don't know making money they don't care about providing jobs the American people John I think you're hurting your -- -- -- it's -- They're scared stiff of the incompetence in the White House yet and policies.

And policies which -- -- the every day being touted as we want to punish you for your success.

We're gonna tax you more we're gonna regulate feel more we're gonna impose Obama can't -- you more we got to cut your ability to create jobs.

And now we are not very happy without an American agenda of of success.

Brit Hume also talking this morning weighing in on the comments by both President Obama in that Romney.

I think there's a distinct difference in viewpoint here between the president and Mitt Romney.

Between liberals and conservatives.

On how central government is to the success of our economy into the success of our businesses.

And the president was making I think -- perfectly understandable point over the weekend.

That the government plays a role that government and it creates an infrastructure roads and bridges and our legal system in the copyright laws and so on.

And the national defense that make possible at least make their -- to make possible things going in this country.

But -- to gonna step -- when he said look if you if you if you build a bit if you've got you've got to visit you didn't build that someone else made that happen.

Now he met him Martin.

Quite have meant to go quite that far but I think it does suggest a view that he holds.

That government really is sort of the nerve center -- -- is -- it did that to the point of inspiration in the key.

Really to our success as a nation and our successes and economy and I think I think Republicans and conservatives very strongly disagree with that and I suspect -- that most Americans disagree.

And governor Mitt Romney's tax returns also a big talker today in the race for the White House Democrats and -- Obama continuing.

To attack the presidential hopeful over not releasing -- returns yet well yesterday Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said this quote.

Mitt Romney is running for president of the United States and he and his campaign team leadership.

Need to put their big boy in big girl pants on to defend his record.

They don't want to show -- his record and they are running the most secretive campaign of a major party in history.

Well former Republican presidential candidate John McCain striking back about those attacks take a lesson.

Somehow manage that there was something wrong it's actually true.

No actual revenues -- no basis whatsoever.

It is the kind of Chicago.

-- style campaign that's being run by.

By the Obama campaign this somehow intimate.

That there was something wrong with someone's.

Tax returns without any basis effect whatsoever.

This really love it.

It's gutter politics and they should be ashamed but they will never -- -- All right well McCain also flatly rejected the idea that he didn't pick Mitt Romney as his VP Canada it.

Because of something in his tax returns say that he -- Sarah Palin because she was simply the better Canada.
