The president's reelection team.
Refusing to issue down senate majority leader Harry Reid's claim -- Romney and his taxes.
Republican saying that the claim has no basis in reality.
I've been around this town for a while.
Actually like -- but what he did on the floor of the senate is so out of balance I think he's lying about his statement that knowing something about.
About Romney so this is what's already there isn't yet and I know I think the leader of the -- it really did I think he's created an issue here.
I think he's making things up and a time when the country is just about to fall apart.
Former New Hampshire governor John Sununu is here former White House chief of staff under George H.
W.
Bush the senior advisor.
To Mitt Romney's team their -- -- sir good morning to you good morning happy Monday as -- as well what do you make it this.
Well look as as Howie -- pointed out in a column in the Boston Herald the other day.
It's not Harry Reid its President Obama and the Obama campaign.
Doing what they always do.
They they did it knew Hillary Clinton and she called him out.
They tried to do it to John McCain with the complicity of the New York Times that printed that garbage about some kind of a marital infidelity.
And they did it to.
That's Sarah Palin when she came on with that crazy allegation.
Better husband was involved in some kind of an Alaskan separatists thing and marital problems -- that turned out to be equally false.
The Obama campaign and President Obama.
Are the ones that are behind this dishonesty and misrepresentation.
Because they're trying to hide the failure.
Of this abysmal presidency.
That we have had in office for the last four wheel well it is true that when you talk about this you don't talk about issues.
You don't welcome it -- point 3% unemployment.
That's it does that not the intent.
That is the intent but all of a sudden they're gonna find out that they're losing because of that not winning because the public is beginning to understand how dishonest.
This president and his campaign is.
And it is in my opinion.
Eroding the only asked that he ever had and that was -- a general likable feeling.
That the public had toward him say what you write this starts to go against the president's popularity.
Absolutely.
And you are right they are trying to hide really rotten day that they came out Friday.
And the complicity of the liberal media is hiding the reality of the numbers that came out Friday if you go to the website for the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
You'll find that the very first piece of information and table way is that there were a 150000.
Fewer Americans.
Working in July than in June.
And that's why the unemployment rate went up that that's the number of Americans who dropped out of the workforce nowadays and it's the number of Americans 55000 they stop looking for work.
This it no that's the number of of Americans that -- not a fewer number of Americans that we're working.
Whether they dropped out -- were fired are lost -- jobs by some other means.
People lost jobs in July and if you go to schedule at the table way.
On the on the web site you'll see all the data are right has there were any team in your view responded aggressively enough.
On that well recharge -- a couple days behind what do you think of that well.
They they may have been a couple of days behind but I certainly think.
They put it in the context look.
Harry Reid is a bumbling -- senate leader he hasn't been able to pass a budget.
He hasn't been able to do anything about entitlement reform he's done nothing worthwhile except the bidding of the Obama administration.
This they have pointed out that Harry is lying and the public is they don't understand that Harry is lying if I think they'd -- and I'll never.
Of Democrats on the talk shows on Sunday David -- -- talking to Chris Wallace he said I don't know who Harry was talking to.
Yet not one Democrat took the opportunity to.
To denounce -- agree for the comments he made on the for the senate.
Up Harry -- with progress.
-- pointed out that Harry probably got it from -- into the mirror while he was -- But the fact is is that he was encouraged to do stuff like this by Axelrod by the president by the White House this is the way they operate it is Chicago style.
Gutter politics trying to hide the failure.
That they have ahead for the last hole -- it clear you don't have proof of that but that's your belief right that your hunt flat but it's not my belief.
That that there is a direct they operate like that now that's the way they operate all the time you have -- you have Hillary Clinton pointing it out.
You had what they did to go to John McCain you have what they did this Arab element.
That's not conjecture that -- do you believe Harry Reid goes on that branch again today or this week.
I don't know what Harry Reid does and you -- does not think Harry Reid probably doesn't know whatever you need to go to that -- and that is that do you believe Harry Reid is getting mileage confidence.
I think Harry Reid thinks he's getting mileage off of it I think it's gonna go on.
To a point where the president is being seen as somebody.
Who is promoting your dishonesty and I don't think that's good for the presidents John Sununu thank you for your time we'll speak again maybe about a week's time thank you --
