folks, this election in my view is the fight for the heart and soul of america. again, these guys aren't bad guys. they just have a fundamentally different view. the best way to sum up the president's view, my view, and i think your view is we see america where in the words of the scripture, what you do unto the least of my brethren you do unto me. as president barack obama says we are our brother's keeper. we are our sister's keeper. we have an obligation, and it's at the outset, as i said, i believe this election will come down to character, conviction and vision and it will not surprise you, i don't think it's even a close call. so it's time -- it's time for the naacp to do what it's always done, what it did for me and the young kid in wilmington, delaware, that's inspired a generation to stand up and make our case, stand our ground and make a hard vision for america. god bless you all and may god protect our troops! thank you! thank you! ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ mitt romney addressed the naacp yesterday, if you want things better in the african

a snapshot of america. people are frustrated because each and every one of us wants to make the country better. i'm terrified that we may be the first generation of americans that don't do that. so when i decided to run for congress, i got a ten-year-old and eight-year-old and five-year-old. i didn't run to be a congressman. i came to do some thing and get things accomplished. as a small business owner, when there is a problem with the business, i gather people around the table and what is the solution. i think we in washington and washington that is broken which is why we are here to fix it. we need to put people before progress and we can find things that we disagree about. i'm sure if we focus in the areas that we agree, that is where we're going to move things forward. >> let me ask you, is it congress? is it politics that is broken or is america broken? how many think politics is broken? isolated it to politics. are they the problem? or are they the solution? >> i would agree it's politics. i have six

our report looked at north america and it's important for north america. our numbers are significantly less conservative than those of the energy information administration. we looked at what is potentially available and by the way, our numbers on mexico show a different profile than the numbers adam showed from the eia, which quite conservatively show a continued decline in mexican production. i think the world is going to find at the end of the year that mexican production will be up year on year from onshore production, there are discoveries offshore in deepwater that have just been announced. the full results of experimentation and the extension of the eagle fjord from texas from just the other side of the border are just becoming publicly available and there's oreason no assume that the geology won't work. what there's reason to be somewhat skeptical about is whether a company like pemex can do what the independent entrepreneurial companies of north america can do, and let me be very specific about this. what has allowed this to work and what makes it

the idea that we should be proud of america and invest in america is not controller. i think it's good sense. >> if it's a matter of degree, how much do we owe the government? do i owe the government now half of what i earn? >> no, no. >> bill: wait, wait, if president obama is reelected i will be paying half my money to the government in one form or another with the raise in social security taxes, with the obama care stippen on top of the federal income tax. i'm up around 50. so is anybody else making over 250,000 a year. so the president wants half. i'm saying to myself, okay rk juan, i agree and that makes me very very frightened with what juan said, that the structure that we have in place here takes money to operate. it does. we have to defend ourselves. we have to have infrastructure. we have to pay that but, where we are going wrong and where mary katharine is going right, juan, is that government didn't build the factor. i built the factor. >> yep, you sure did. >> bill: the government didn't help my education. i paid every nickel of my education. i didn't get
