[MICHAEL GREGORY] Obama Romney Ready, set, go [ROMNEY] As president, I will sit down on day one Sit down with leaders for a couple hours Talk about the issues, talk about challenges [OBAMA] Part of being a leader is not just saying "I'll sit down" But you have to have a plan What it is that you intend to do You have to have a plan [MICHAEL GREGORY] Okay, moving on now Will the economy get better soon? [CANDIDATES] (Uh, uh, uh) [MICHAEL GREGORY] Or will I have to buy my Microsoft Zune? [CANDIDATES] (Uh, uh, uh) [OBAMA] The reason we've been in such a crisis (Such a crisis, such a crisis) Reckless behavior Banks making money hand over fist [ROMNEY] You couldn't have people opening up banks In their garage and making loans You have to have regulation It appears we got some agreement [MICHAEL GREGORY] (Oh shit) [ROMNEY] I love Big Bird, I like PBS I like you too, but I'm gonna stop the subsidy to PBS [OBAMA] I work to cut a trillion dollars out of our budget [MICHAEL GREGORY] Are you gonna tax rich people The percentage that's equal? Or will you give them piles of cash So they can use hundred dollar bills to wipe their ass? [OBAMA] Under Romney's definition, Donald Trump is a small business That kind of approach I believe will not grow our economy [ROMNEY] It's not just Donald Trump you're taxing It's all those small businesses You raise taxes and you kill jobs [OBAMA] I lowered taxes 18 times [MICHAEL GREGORY] Time for some closing statements If you got something to say, you better say it [ROMNEY] Bring down rates, broaden the base Simplify the code, incentives for growth [OBAMA] Are we gonna double down on the top down? America does best when the middle class does best [ROMNEY] Bring down rates, broaden the base [OBAMA] Are we gonna double down on the top down? [ROMNEY] Simplify the code, incentives for growth [OBAMA] Are we gonna top down on the double, double down on [ROMNEY] The base
