Political experts say that governor Romney had to go in their last night and shake up the 2012 race.

During that debate if he wanted to do well when it came to this.

Actual voting in the beginning of November.

He and president battled over issues on the economy they talked about health care so how did it Mitt Romney -- last night talk Herman Cain.

-- -- -- I'm in several times during the primaries -- a former Republican presidential candidate of course.

And also the CEO of godfathers pizza good morning mr.

-- welcome good to have you here.

Thanks mark the happy to be -- tell you one of the few people who has been up there on stage with Mitt Romney in the past did you see -- different Mitt Romney net in any -- last night.

I saw the same Mitt Romney that I -- when I was debating him do in the group Republican primary.

Because I expected him to go in prepared we -- well he was knowledgeable which he loves.

And his depth of knowledge and his command of the facts.

As he was rebuffing the different statements made by the president was absolutely impressive I thought last night over all -- of was a defining moment for Mitt Romney.

Because he didn't get screened through the mainstream media the American people got to see the Mitt Romney that I know a lot of people that have debated him.

No yeah we we have been told that he was looking -- that opportunity to just go get ahead on the stage and to sort of rebuts some of the things that he said.

He had been misrepresented on let's play a little bit of sound from last night and if this goes to the issue of -- how the president spent his capital so to speak in the early days.

Of his presidency.

Let's watch.

I just don't know how the president.

Could've come into office facing 23 million people out of work rising unemployment and economic crisis at that at the kitchen table.

And spent his energy and passion for two years fighting for Obama care instead of fighting for jobs for the American people.

When you think about that statement in the president basically came back we should note.

By saying that he did that he did both at the same time it worked on Obama care and you worked on the jobs market -- -- Unfortunately.

He did not see here's what I have observed a lot of people observe our President Obama.

He does not know how jobs are created.

He thinks jobs -- created about spending money on government.

And that's not the case so I believe the governor Romney was absolutely right on when he -- that he invested too much capital in Obama care.

Which was his personal objective.

You'll recall -- that the American people when they were -- They didn't want that.

Version of Obama care they didn't want that version but he passed it in a way rather than focus on how you really create jobs so I believe the governor Romney nailed him on that.

I -- we're talking you about jobs here in here's another piece of sound.

Last night that -- do a little bit with the way that money has been spent on the new energy front let's watch.

But don't forget.

You put nine -- billion dollars.

Like fifty years force the breaks into into solar and wind.

-- to decide the Solyndra and just current test Lennar one and -- at a friendly city don't just pick the winners and -- you -- the losers.

And that it you know it was says catchy phrase is there at -- and which got outlast.

From the reaction there but it but -- -- it goes to the heart of the question whether or not the government should be attempting to pick winners and losers in new technology.

And they should not see here's here's this is a perfect example of how governor Romney was so prepared.

That ninety billion dollars and number that he used to refute the president's plane that'll -- companies make too much money.

Secondly President Obama contrast to take advantage of people's lack of understanding that that the difference between a profit at a profit margin.

He takes advantage of the fact that a lot of people don't understand that all companies happy and that's billions of dollars over many years to make that prop.

And so when governor rod McCain met with a nine billion dollars I thought that was and -- statistic to refute.

The misinformation that the president was trying to get people to believe.

Yes you know I think you touched on something that -- asked about a freak out.

And he call about a number of different industries last night he said you think ExxonMobil only as any more money he say to act about insurance companies which.

Have definitely been you know -- is sort of somebody that he has no you know as a reverence for and that health insurance process he's made that quite clear.

He's talked about act caps in the past attacked about Wall Street a little bit last night in terms of the day and anybody need anymore money in those areas.

Think about that.

I think that is just aggravated class war -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Ideology and his thinking about how you make this nation more prosperous.

President Obama believes that the government should be of -- and a -- control it.

That's totally against what is made this country great that is created.

An economy that represents 25% of the world GDP and he wants to slow it down but trying to tell companies are looking to make.

Telling people who have been successful well average and made enough money yet no and that's not the way.

America works and that's not how the free at a -- system -- mister Herman Cain thank you sir good to see you.

Thank you -- that resist.
