DAVID GREGORY:
The question of who is Mitt Romney is on my mind throughout this program today and I asked Ed Gillespie about that. The kind of campaign he would run. Whether he would just focus on the president's record or would he be a guy to present big solutions to the big challenges that the country faces. I guess the same question is also applicable to President Obama. Will he spend his time simply tearing down Governor Romney as an alternative or is he going to run on a big idea for his second term?
ROBERT GIBBS:
Well, look, the biggest idea that we're running on is to continue moving in the right direction of fixing this economy. Look, the last six months of the Bush administration we lost 3.5 million jobs. And we know this about Mitt Romney. He's not a job creator. When he was governor of Massachusetts they were 47th out of 50 in job creation.
His experience is in downsizing and outsourcing jobs and bankrupting companies and walking away with a lot of money for himself. His economic ideas are the failed economic ideas that we tried for eight years. Tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires and letting Wall Street going back to writing the rules all over again. That is the policies that got us into this mess.
This president wants to build on 25 consecutive months of private sector job growth, 4.1 million jobs. And to really institute some strong values of fairness and responsibility. Build an economy that lasts. Invest in our children and in their college education. Make this country strong. Make this economy vibrant. And continue on the path to adding jobs in it.
