I've tried to find a basic FAQ or help on the slider and posted in WP help and didn't get any. It says it can pull by including or excluding post IDs, that way it's not just showing the same photo for 2 weeks. But when I select to include the post IDs it does nothing. When I set "exclude" by post ID -- it deletes the entire slider.
There must be a way for the slider to show what I want it to show rather than just pulling everything or nothing.

David Haye: So What Groves Lost, He's 26-Years-Old!
By Luke Furman
Former two-division world champion David Haye believes super middleweight contender George Groves, only 26-years-old, has more than enough time to rebuild his career and become a world champion.
This past Saturday night, before 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium, Carl Froch knocked out Groves with a perfect right hand in the eight round.
Haye himself suffered a TKO defeat at the age of 24 and bounced back to unify three titles in the cruiserweight division and captured a world title at heavyweight.
"He's 26-years-old...so what he lost. It happens to the best of us. I lost when I was 24 and it didn't stop me from two years later coming back and becoming a world champion. It happens. You come back and you learn from it," Haye said.
"It takes some rebuilding, but he can be rebuilt. He's a very mentally strong, young guy. He's a fighting person. He was a kickboxing champion when he was a teenager. He knows what it's like to be knocked down and hurt. He comes back."
Haye used to promote Groves under his Hayemaker promotional banner and the two boxers are also former stablemates under trainer Adam Booth.
Luke Furman covers boxing for bokser.org.
Seeing that Lennox Lewis got KTFO and came back both times to dominate..... I'd say Groves could as well, providing he corrects his attitude and also takes a couple years to try and 'forget' the KO loss. The loss itself...well…Comment by sofreshhh on 06-02-2014

Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
The Cubs managed only six hits while committing six errors in the field, as the EXST Angels defeated the EXST Cubs 4-1 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa this morning.
Considered by most observers to be the Cubs #3 best pitching prospect coming into the season, RHP Chris Carpenter made his first appearance of the year after nursing a sore shoulder throughout Minor League Camp and after starting the 2010 regular season on the AA Tennessee Smokies 7-day DL. Carpenter was the Cubs 3rd round pick in 2008 out of Kent State, and went a combined 6-7 with a 2.82 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP and 52/118 BB/K in 130.2 IP at Peoria/Daytona/Tennessee in 2009.
Carpenter got through the top of the 1st inning, stranding a runner at 3rd by getting a strikeout (swinging) and a 5-3 ground out to end the inning. But the Angels scored in the top of the 2nd, thanks to a lead-off triple and a one-out RBI single. Carpenter was pulled after getting a strikeout for the 2nd out of the inning. For the day, Carpenter threw 36 pitches (23 strikes) in 1.2 IP, allowing just the one run (and it was earned) on three hits (two singles and a triple), with three strikeouts (one swinging and two looking) and no walks. Carpenter did throw a Wild Pitch, and he also committed a throwing error while trying to pick a runner of 1st base.
AA Tennessee 1B-OF Matt Spencer (at Extended Spring Training while rehabbing from a broken toe suffered in Minor League Camp last month) got nine ABs in today's game, leading off each inning. He reached base twice, once on a double leading off the bottom of the 2nd inning (and he eventually scored what would be the Cubs only run of the day), and on a walk leading off the bottom of the 8th. When a player gets this many plate appearances in one game, it usually means he is nearing the end of his rehab assignment, so expect to see Spencer back in the Tennessee Smokies lineup very soon.
In addition to Carpenter getting into his first game of the season, 20-year old 6'4 260+ Venezuelan RHP Larry Suarez saw his first Extended Spring Training game action today, as did 19-year old 6'6 Taiwanese RHP Tzu-An Wang. Suarez relieved Carpenter and allowed one hit but no runs, and after retiring the side 1-2-3 on just 10 pitches in his first inning of work, Wang allowed two unearned runs on two hits and a walk in his second inning. (NOTE: There is another pitcher from Taiwan named Yao-Lin Wang at Cubs Extended Spring Training, but it's easy to tell the difference between the two Wangs because while Tzu-An is a lanky 6'6, Yao-Lin is a stocky 6'0).
It had to be discouraging for the Cubs coaches to watch the players get only six hits (including just one XBH) while committing six errors one day after "Camp Day," when hitting and fielding are practiced and drilled for several hours.
In EXST Cubs roster news, RHP David Patton completed his rehab assignment and was assigned to Daytona (and in fact he got into last night's D-Cubs game), and RHP Chris Huseby (the Cubs 2006 10th round pick who got "1st round money" to give up his scholarship at Auburn) has arrived at Extended Spring Training from Daytona after struggling with his control. He had a similar problem in 2008 (17 walks in just 15 IP at Mesa), but it appeared that he had overcome it after allowing only 10 walks in 54 IP (while striking out 73 and saving 18 games) at Peoria last season.
Here is today's abridged box score (EXST Cubs players only):
NOTE: DH #1 Matt Spencer led-off all nine innings, getting nine plate appearances total in the game.
X. Matt Spencer, DH #1: 1-8 (F-9, 2B, 1-6-3, K, F-7, 4-3, 4-3, BB, F-8, R)

Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
I would actually pay money for him to have a better career than his namesake.
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
Az Phil, glad to see Carpenter back on the mound. Did he look sound? Also , how about our boy Larry Suarez? Has Huseby reverted back to a wildman again?
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
Nice to see our Pacific Rim scouting department bringing in more players. I got to watch a game in Taiwan once, and the baseball was pretty good, I'd say maybe AA talent but major league polished, and there were a couple of guys who "looked" like major leaguers. Chia Chia was one them, can't remember the other guy - a reliever.
http://taiwanbaseball.blogspot.com/ has a bit of USA oriented baseball news if anyone is curious.
Here's a blurb on the signing of Yao-Lin
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
I read this morning that the Angels Mike Napoli is unhappy with his playing time and the Angels may be interested in moving him. I can't claim to know much about Napoli other than that he appears to be a hit first/defense second kind of catcher. But it got me thinking about Geovany Soto and his future with the Cubs.
As I recall, Soto had a less than stellar minor league career, but it was good enough to get him some ABs in the big leagues. He impressed and got the starting job in 2008. A very good 2008 then lead to a crappy 2009, leading some people to question who the real Soto is. So far in 2010, it's looking like the 2009 version of Geo is the real Soto (although it is still very early).
So my question is, what is Soto's future with the Cubs? Should they be looking for an alternative? How long do the Cubs string him along until they finally cut bait?
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
Soto won the PCL MVP the year before he won the NL RoY, he's got a .430 OBP, I don't think I'd want to trade him for Mike Napoli.
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
Soto's actually hitting the ball very well and taking a ton of walks. His line drive % is 35.7 right now, but his BABIP is .231. That's bad luck in a small sample size. Is he going to continue to hit line drives 35% of the time? No. But he's not going to continue to hit the ball right at people for his whole career either.
You can attribute most of Soto's 2009 to a couple of things: 1. A dropoff in power (perhaps due to the hand injury and the extra weight?), which is illustrated by his lower HR/Fly Ball rate, down from 14.7 to to 10.3%.
2. And bad luck. His line drive rate dropped only from 21.0% to 18.1%, so, yeah, you'd expect a slightly lower BABIP, but his BABIP actually dropped from .332 to .243. That's a .089 difference. His K% actually went down in 2009 and his BB% went up slightly.
We haven't really established a career average BABIP for Soto because his 2007 was clearly very high and only 60 plate appearances and he 2009 was clearly very low. At .332 it seems fair to say that his 2008 was somewhat lucky, but not off the charts lucky.
Soto is not likely to hit for high batting averages based on his current numbers--his 2008 average of .285 will likely be near the best of his career--but his plate discipline and power might improve a bit with experience. A catcher who is likely to put up a .270/.370/.470 line is hardly expendable, even if he's a below average throw 'em out guy (also, people raved about his receiving skills in 2008, as I recall).
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
Charlie -- That was great info. Thanks!
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
Some more info: Soto is hitting .273 .448 .455 going into this at bat in the bottom of the 9th.

Certainly might be the hottest pitcher right now, but he's behind a few pitchers by most objective full season standards.
Well noted. You may also note that Lester's Career Playoff ERA is almost a full point lower, and he has a lower WHIP as well.
Can't have everything, I guess.
i'm happy enough with the Lester signing, but Scherzer has more than earned the extra money so far. If he was in the rotation instead of Lester, this team would feel practically bulletproof to me.
Blaspheme maybe, but I think Scherzer is the best pitcher in the NL right now.
Maddon was pimping Russell for Gold Glove honors recently as a manager should do...

- - GSP = Best P4P? (http://www.mmaforum.com/ufc/90761-gsp-best-p4p.html)
GSP = Best P4P?
How can GSP be the best p4p? what about Anderson Silva? cos even Dana White thinks Anderson Silva is the best p4p..
If you compare their UFC record AS is clearly better.
Win: 13, Loss: 0 (8T/KOs, 3 Submissions, 2 Decisions)
Won Fight of the Night (3 times)
Won Knockout of the Night (3 times)
Won Submission of the Night (2 times)
Most consecutive title defenses (Eight)
Most successful title defenses (Eight)
Most consecutive wins in the UFC (Thirteen)
Longest UFC title reign
Win: 16, Loss: 2 (5T/KOs, 2 Submissions, 9 Decisions :sarcastic11:)
Won Fight of the Night (2 times)
Won Submission of the Night (1 time)
If GSP is that great, why can't he finish fights? why does he have to admit that he fights "Safe"?
GSP says he is the or wants to be the best p4p in the world, yet he is too scared to Anderson Silva. :confused02:
Silva vs GSP is long overdue and we'll probably never see it :( only cos GSP is too chicken to face Anderson Silva and avoiding it hardcore...
Why doesn't Anderson Silva want to go up in weight and fight JBJ? What about Anderson "playing it safe" against Maia and Leites? Both of which were horribly outclassed more so than anybody GSP has ever fought.
Anderson Silva isn't a little bigger he is a huge 185lber the guy walks around probably a good 30lbs bigger than GSP.
While GSP is good... Anderson Silva is P4P best right now...
I honestly believe Silva is the p4p king. But the argument for GSP being number 1 is that he's strong in absolutely every aspect of MMA. While Silva is clearly weak at the most important one, Wrestling. Regardless, I still think Silva is #1.
I think Anderson Silva has shown more weakness in getting his ass dominated for 20 minutes by Sonnen than GSP has. Silva has also lost the first round to both Hendo and Lutter as well as losing the last round to Maia. Silva has looked human, GSP has dominated.
I don't want to add anything but this: Maia was NOT "outclassed" in the Silva fight, if Silva had been a badass and tried to actually BEAT Maia he could have ended up being submitted.
Saying Silva outclassed Maia in that fight and that's why he acted the way he did, is like saying GSP outclassed Shields on the ground so bad and that's why he didn't take him down more.
Either way I would have to go with GSP. Regardless if you like his style or not, GSP has dominated all his fights for years.
I'd give Silva the #1 spot still

Live Blog: Second Obama-Romney Debate
President Barack Obama and challenger Mitt Romney returned to the debate ring Tuesday night after a long weekend of intense practice, with Obama looking to improve on his first performance and Romney hoping to build on his momentum since their first meeting. Here is our live blog.
Live Blog Ends
OK, thanks for joining us tonight. We'll see you next week for the final debate. Go ahead and read our main debate story here, and see more coverage at WSJ.com/election2012
Overall, both the GOP nominee and Mr. Obama risked being seen as too aggressive at times. Mr. Obama even ended with an attack on Mr. Romney's complaints about the "47%" who receive government benefits and/or don't pay income taxes. In the end, a tense, dramatic debate that featured a re-energized president against a newly confident challenger.
The two candidates also traded a lot of blows over China and international trade and a few on international taxation. Mr. Romney again appeared more aggressive on China, and even told the president that he's got investments in China too. Mr. Romney said the U.S. must become more attractive to entrepreneurs. Mr. Obama said that the U.S. has to encourage more high-wage, high-value jobs, particularly in manufacturing.
In a question on the attack that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Mr. Romney appeared to fumble when he suggested that Mr. Obama had misspoken about when he had labeled the attack an act of terror. Mr. Obama probably came off better in the tense exchange, although moderator Candy Crowley said in effect that both candidates were right about parts of the issue.
Mr. Romney also appeared to do fairly well in questions concerning women – an area of big concern for both camps.
Mr. Obama also made some cutting comparisons of Mr. Romney and former President George W. Bush, suggesting Mr. Romney is even more conservative in several respects, on social policy in particular. Mr. Romney again came back strong, ripping what he termed Mr. Obama's unsuccessful record on job creation, deficits, entitlements and immigration, among other topics.
A question on energy produced an early close-quarters battle in which the candidates were virtually nose to nose, talking bluntly and frequently interrupting. Viewers might have assumed that Mr. Romney was the more aggressive in that exchange, and impressions matter. But Mr. Obama eventually got off some sharp shots over Mr. Romney's tax plans – and didn't get mired in so much detail this time.
Final Thoughts
Wrapping up, here are a few thoughts about the course of the evening:
The president was much sharper and more aggressive than in the first debate in Denver. He went on the attack early, and seemed confident. But Mr. Romney did a reasonably good job of stepping up his own attacks quickly.
As we stand by for more closing thoughts, check out this new gizmo: WSJ Vote Compass: Which Candidate Sees the World Most Like You? Includes both Romney and Obama, plus candidates for the Green Party, Libertarians and Constitution Party.
Missing: Any mention of the housing market or what to do about it. And, unlike last week, no talk of Supreme Court.
We'll have some post-debate analysis shortly.
A final question on perceptions of the candidates gives Mr. Romney a pre-emptive chance to deflect concerns over his videotaped complaints last summer about the 47% of Americans who get federal benefits and/or don't pay income taxes. He cares about 100% of Americans, he says.
Good thinking, because Mr. Obama acknowledges that Mr. Romney is "a good man." But then attacks him on the "47%," suggesting that Mr. Romney doesn't care about Social Security recipients and others who've worked hard.
The debate runs into overtime — well past 10:30 scheduled end time.
From Sept. 12: Who Said What: Timeline of Statements on Libya, Egypt Attacks – Includes video of Obama, Clinton, Romney remarks.
The debate isn't even over and a parade of Obama surrogates is parading into the debate site "spin room." It's a big contrast to the first debate, when Obama surrogates didn't show up for several minutes after the debate ended — well after the Romney surrogates.
Romney says that labeling China a currency manipulator, a step that the Obama administration and his Treasury has refused to take, would allow him to impose tariffs on Chinese goods. The designation, under the relevant statute, triggers negotiations between the U.S. And China. It doesn't change the authority of the U.S. To impose tariffs, which are determined by U.S. Law and its World Trade Organization obligations.
More on China
Romney makes third mention of China, saying the country has been "artificially holding down the value of their currency. China has been a currency manipulator for years and years and years." He said Obama has failed to label the country a currency manipulator. Romney suggests he will use his power in office to hit China with tariffs as punishment. This is a complex issue, but as Romney has risen in the polls recently global attention to his views in this area has spiked.
The question on assault weapons appears to catch both candidates by surprise, but each tries to seize the opportunity to score a few social-policy points. Mr. Obama advocates an assault weapon ban, but also urges better schools and more intervention to "catch violent impulses before they occur." Mr. Romney opposes new gun legislation, but gets a chance to agree with Mr. Obama on a social policy issue, calling for better schools and parenting, as well as changing "the culture of violence that we have." That could provide a bit of reassurance to suburban moderate voters after some strenuous disagreements on other issues. The president tries to distance himself at the end.
Just over five minutes left and no mention of Romney's "47%" comment.
More on Obama's remarks the day after the Libya attack: Obama also very clearly made reference in the middle of his remarks to the anti-Islamic video that was presumed also to be involved when he said "We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others."
The debate here is whether the White House quickly enough acknowledged the terrorism angle, rather than its initial read, which is that the protest was spontaneous and related to the video.
The "terror" remark comes in passing and isn't obviously what the president claimed it was.
Here's the full transcript. Also, video.
The question about gun control — what would each candidate do to ensure AK47s are kept out of the hands of criminals — called for careful handling in Nassau County. This is part of the country that sent Rep. Carolyn McCarthy to Congress as an anti-gun campaigner soon after her husband was killed in a 1993 shooting rampage known as the Long Island Railroad Massacre. Neither candidate mentioned the incident, but they certainly trod delicately.
Mr. Obama labeled the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya, an "act of terror" during his remarks a day later at the White House: "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for," Mr. Obama said. "Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done."
Benghazi Question and Answers
Libya finally appears in the debate after nearly 90 minutes. Mr. Obama for the first time says that he was ultimately responsible for the security of the U.S. officials who were killed at the U.S. embassy in Benghazi last month. The president pushed back hard on Mr. Romney's suggestion that the White House failed to initially call the assault a terrorist act because of political considerations. "The suggestion that anyone on my team…would play politics or mislead when we've lost four of our own is offensive," Mr. Obama said.
In a small violation of the rules, audience members on both sides applaud both Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney on a detailed question about exactly how the president and the administration described the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Fifteen minutes to go in a pitched battle that has featured a lot more attacks – and a lot more heated exchanges – than the first debate. Both candidates have appeared well prepared. The result could depend on intangibles: credibility, likeability, gut feelings. Mr. Obama in particular seems much more engaged and personally invested. But Mr. Romney has been tenacious and sharp from beginning to end.
Romney was clearly prepared to bring up the president's pension (he said Obama also has investments in Chinese companies and offshore accounts), but the timing was awkward. The discussion had already moved away from China and on to immigration. Romney asked: "Have you looked at your pension?" Obama demurred: "Mine's not as big as yours, I don't look at it that often."
On immigration, Mr. Obama rebuts the idea that he didn't offer a plan. Mr. Romney rebuts the idea that he endorsed the entire Arizona law and that he would encourage self-deportation. Mr. Obama tries some middle-of-the-road rhetoric on immigration reform. "I'll get it done," Mr. Romney replies.
More on the question from the 2008 Obama voter: This becomes a platform for one of Mr. Romney's sharper answers, on Mr. Obama's record. The president has not cut unemployment significantly, or offered promised plans to reform Medicare and Social Security or immigration, and also hasn't cut the deficit or health care premiums – in fact they're going up, Mr. Romney says.
Mr. Romney got in the first significant reference to the federal health law tonight by noting that "Obamacare" is a major concern for small businesses. That's an argument that favors Republicans. Mr. Obama in a response soon after indicated he wouldn't let that be the final word, even if there isn't a specific audience question on the subject. He said he passed the law to guarantee that "insurers can't jerk you around," and painted Mr. Romney as hypocritical for seeking to repeal a health law that is similar to legislation passed in Massachusetts when he was governor.
Romney's bottom line: Vote me for and you'll get Ronald Reagan's economy, not George W. Bush's.
Romney's recollection of the last four years under Obama is a strong moment for him, as he describes–more in sorrow than in anger–how bad the economy has been. Economic growth is too slow, he said, and food stamp usage is too high. "The president wants to do well.. but the policies he's put in place.. have not led this economy take off and grow as it could have," he said.
This is a solid answer for Romney. He's listing the areas where Obama has fallen short, rattling off higher health care costs, a sluggish economy and a rising deficit. Instead of sounding defensive, he's aiming for authoritative.
A 30,000-foot question from a somewhat disillusioned voter who supported Obama in 2008 but this time isn't so sure. Romney uses the question to boil down his election platform: "If you elect President Obama you know what you're going to get…a repeat of the last four years."
"Governor, you're the last person that's going to get tough on China," Mr. Obama says. It's an effort to undercut Mr. Romney's get-tough rhetoric on China, which has helped him score points with voters, according to recent polls. But the president's comment is also appears to be a payback for Mr. Romney's comment that no one thinks Mr. Obama will help increase oil production.
More than halfway through the debate, and not a mention of foreign policy or the September terrorist attack in Libya. The Obama administration has faced heavy criticism over the response to the assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, which killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Also no discussion yet of Iran's nuclear program, which was a major issue in last week's vice presidential debate.
Mr. Romney runs into a gray area on women's health as he says that all women should be able to get contraceptives. He has repeatedly said he won't try to take away women's birth control, but he's also vowed to pull federal funds for Planned Parenthood, a leading provider of contraceptives. And he took issue with an Obama administration push to mandate even religions institutions to cover contraception in their health care plans.
Romney again says he'd "crack down on China." He's stuck by his guns on this issue, despite discomfort from some business groups. His criticism of China has been consistent through the Republican primary and through the general campaign. He says he'd label the country a "currency manipulator" on his first day in office. A few days ago the Obama administration delayed making a determination on this issue until sometime after the election.
Mr. Obama seized a chance to talk about contraception coverage in the health law. the issue cuts both ways: It favors Democrats when it's framed as being about insurance companies providing access to birth control, rather than about religious objections of Catholic employers who pay part or all of their workers' coverage. He suggested Mr. Romney's concern about the requirement means he "feels comfortable having politicians in Washington decide the health care choices that women are making." Mr. Romney responded that he didn't believe bureaucrats or employers should control that decision for women, but wasn't able to move on to the religious liberty response that usually helps Republicans.
Back to the discussion about women and economic equality: Mr. Romney makes a play to build on his recent gains among women, focusing on economic opportunity. He describes his effort to get more women in his cabinet and senior staff when he was governor of Massachusetts. "I recognized…sometimes you need to be more flexible" on work hours and other issues, he says. He also repeats the statistic that 3.5 million more women are living in poverty than four years ago.
Mr. Obama pushes for more recognition of his successful efforts on equal-pay legislation, and on health care and contraception coverage. "These are not just women's issues, these are family issues, economic issues," the president says.
Drilling Facts
Both candidates were correct, depending on what time frame they were referring to. In just the past year, oil and gas production on federal lands has fallen by 14% and 9% respectively, as Mr. Romney said. But in Mr. Obama's first three years in office, oil production–though not gas or coal–was up 13% compared with the previous three years. Federal gas production fell about 9% over that time, and coal production on federal lands was down slightly.
I clearly spoke too soon. Obama is now going after Romney squarely on Lilly Ledbetter and now contraceptive coverage.
Both candidates seem to have strong answers on the topic of equal pay, and it's the only topic so far tonight that has not included direct attacks, though Romney rounds out his answer with a general attack on the economy under Obama.
Romney relates the question on equal pay for women to a story about staffing his cabinet as governor of Massachusetts and ensuring qualified women were well-represented. Drawing on his personal experiences – like the female chief of staff they built a flexible schedule for – was part of his debate prep.
Mr. Obama is really using the worst-case scenario on Mr. Romney's numbers to try and drive home a point. He says Mr. Romney's plan would essentially worsen the deficit by $8 trillion. But that number doesn't give Romney any credit for eliminating or capping deductions and loopholes. There really isn't much in the way of independent budget analysis to back up Obama's number there (which he later changed to $7 trillion to $8 trillion).
Mr. Obama says Mr. Romney's numbers don't add up, and said that Mr. Romney – as a business executive – wouldn't accept such a "sketchy deal."
Mr. Romney is clearly annoyed. "Of course they add up," he says. Mr. Romney said what doesn't add up is the $4 trillion to $5 trillion in deficits that the country has racked up during Mr. Obama's presidency.
Question about equal pay for women is about as softball as they come for President Obama. His decision to talk about his grandmother first, and the Lily Ledbetter Act second, was probably smart. The Ledbetter law is often portrayed at doing more than it really did– it made it easier to sue for discrimination, it didn't guarantee equal pay–but Obama's description was pretty accurate tonight.
Mr. Obama gets in a dig about Mr. Romney's own personal tax rates, which have been around 14% the last couple of years — and the president comes back to the topic in the followup discussion. He's broadening his attack to more personal areas, and also taking tougher shots at Mr. Romney's tax plan, calling it "a sketchy deal." Mr. Romney suggests that the president is misleading voters about the Romney plan.
Mr. Romney vows to keep the top 5% of taxpayers paying 60% of federal income taxes.
In 2009, according to the Tax Foundation, the top 5% got about 32% of all adjusted gross income and 59% of all income taxes.
In the 2000s, the top 5% averaged 28.4% of all the income in the U.S.
Economy (a broader definition of income than the AGI on tax returns) and paid 40.3% of federal taxes of all sorts — income, payroll, excise and corporate, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
For more on taxing the rich, see this.
And at 33 minutes in, Obama raises issue of Romney's low personal tax rate, something that he failed to mention in debate #1.
Romney pushes more on taxes, but tries to put his plan in perspective. He says the point of lowering tax rates is to boost employment. "For me this is about jobs," he said. "I want to get America's economy going again."
When Obama says Romney promised tax cuts for everyone (including the wealthy) in the GOP primary but changed his tune now, it's just one of the ways he's aiming to undercut Romney's credibility tonight.
More Romney Tax-Plan Details
Romney is asked how he would deal with deductions if he's going to lower everyone's tax rates 20%. He offers, a little more officially this time, the idea that he would have an aggregate cap on deductions at $25,000. That means a middle-class taxpayer could have a total of $25,000 in tax deductions on things like mortgage interest, charitable contributions, etc. He's used previous numbers, such as $17,000 or $50,000, but perhaps he's gravitating towards the $25,000 figure now, as more of a middle ground.
After Romney scolds the president – "you'll get your chance in a moment, I'm still speaking" – the media pooler covering Mr. Romney says there was an "audible gasp in the hall at Romney's brush off of the president there." (The pooler is in the debate hall, while other reporters are in the media center.)
One thing to keep in mind in this back and forth over federal leases: A big part of federal energy leasing is done offshore, such as in the Gulf of Mexico. After BP's Deepwater Horizon rig blew up and spewed crude in the Gulf, operations were halted for months. That post-Deepwater setback accounts for a big part of the decline in permitting for federal energy.
Mr. Romney repeats a comment about the middle class being "buried" in the last four years. It's a line that got a big response from focus groups in the first debate.
Thanks to his opening question, #getjeremyajob is trending on Twitter.
The two have been talking directly to each other. They even come close to each other physically for a few moments as Mr. Romney asks about whether the Obama administration cut energy licenses on federal lands. They disagree on that point — and just about everything else on each others' records on energy.
And the gloves are off: Cross talk and jabs, all over energy. Mr. Romney asks a question about federal energy policy, talking about what he says is lower federal energy production. Mr. Obama said that's not true. In reality, private lands do account for the vast majority of new production. But over the first three years of the Obama administration, federal lands oil production is up 13% over the first three Bush years.
While Romney talks about his energy policy, he's careful to offer a mix of criticism toward the president, some of his own policy prescriptions and a personal anecdote about coal workers he's met on the trail. It's a delicate juggle and he'll have to keep it up all night.
Moderator Candy Crowley asked an interesting question: Is $4 gasoline the new normal, or cause for major concern? She focused on where energy concerns actually hit voters; both candidates are talking in 30,000-foot terms but not dealing with that pocketbook question.
We're 15 minutes in and Obama is looking sharper than 12 days ago, moving to attack while explaining his points much more succinctly. He's also looking up at Romney and smiling while Romney talks, not looking dour and down. It's a better start.
Earlier, Mr. Obama says that Mr. Romney has the oil and gas part of the energy equation, but "not the clean energy part." Clean energy is the key to future competitiveness, he said.
Mr. Romney countered with his own all-of-the-above approach, and stressed that the president has not supported traditional energy sources. He made a direct plea to support the coal industry, and touted his idea for energy independence as the key to a manufacturing revival. He even took a swipe at the nixed Keystone pipeline, a flashpoint subject.

He made a direct plea to support the coal industry, and touted his idea for energy independence as the key to a manufacturing revival. He even took a swipe at the nixed Keystone pipeline, a flashpoint subject.
This is shaping up as a slugfest. Oil production and gas production on federal lands are down, Mr. Romney says, because of regulatory restrictions. "This has not been Mr. Oil," he says.
Mr. Romney answers the Obama attack on the auto industry with a sharp attack of his own, saying Mr. Obama actually took the auto companies bankrupt. Mr. Obama says there's a big difference between their approaches.
Then the president takes more shots at Mr. Romney, saying he "doesn't have a five point plan, he has a one point plan" that allows the rich to play by a different set of rules.
"That's what's been squeezing middle class families," Mr. Obama says.
Romney fights to get a word in at the end of this lively round, saying the auto attack was "way off the mark."
And again, energy. This is a flashback to 2008 after all. Mr. Obama hit all his usual points, but this time with a very rare emphasis on coal production and coal employment—key for some swing states. He says that Mr. Romney has the oil and gas part of the energy equation, but "not the clean energy part." Clean energy is the key to future competitiveness, he said.
Responding to a question from a college student, Mr. Romney promises to "keep our Pell grant program growing," once again separating himself from the squeeze on the federal student-aid program that his running mate, Paul Ryan has favored in the budgets he has crafted in the House. As the "Hechinger Ed" newsletter reported, Mr. Romney has separated himself from Mr. Ryan on this de this point previously.
"The House-passed budget takes the necessary next steps to take the Pell program off auto-pilot, bring spending under control and target the award to the truly," Mr. Ryan has said. He proposes to freeze the maximum Pell grant award at $5,550.
Interesting exchange between the two candidates over the auto rescue/bailout. Obama takes a shot at Romney, saying he called for letting "Detroit go bankrupt." Romney said Obama essentially put the companies through bankruptcy, just like Romney has proposed. Obama came tried to differentiate their positions. He said the government support during bankruptcy was necessary or "we would have lost a million jobs." Romney, cut off by the moderator, said Obama's description wasn't true.
Well, that didn't take long. Answering a question about how college students will get a good job, Mr. Obama talked up energy policy. Notably, when he talked of the "energy sources of the future," he didn't mention electric cars, or the nearly $2 billion the administration has invested in battery makers for those cars.

Notably, when he talked of the "energy sources of the future," he didn't mention electric cars, or the nearly $2 billion the administration has invested in battery makers for those cars.
Mr. Obama starts with a quick jab at Mr. Romney's opposition to the auto bailout. Could be a sign of more attacks to come.
Lists. The president has just started one, regarding jobs. Given the pressure he's under to better enumerate a second-term agenda, I think we should be expecting a lot of them tonight.
The first question on how to get a job out of college is a softball of sorts for Mitt Romney. He starts with an anecdote from Pennsylvania — possibly an overture to a state that could be in play soon, if current trends continue.
The candidates take the stage – and it will soon be close-quarters fighting on the spare stage. Messrs. Obama and Romney trade toothy smiles and grip each others' arms. And here we go.
Mr. Obama's press shop issues a press release, likely telegraphing their punch. The headline: "PRE-DEBATE FACT CHECK: Romney's Plans Wouldn't Create 12 Million Jobs And Could Slow The Recovery"
We're moments from the start.
Many of today's likely themes — jobs, Medicare, the 47% — have been playing out for some time. But one of Mr. Romney's attack lines — cirticizing the Obama administration's "green stimulus" – got a big boost today when one of the high-profile recipients of federal clean-energy grants–A123 Systems, a battery maker based in Massachusetts–filed for bankruptcy.
Michelle Obama and Ann Romney are both wearing magenta! Unity!
Stuart Rabinowitz, the president of Hofstra University, host of the presidential debate, says he is giving up his seat so one more student can get into the room, in addition to the 700 who won a lottery for seats. All them, he says, have registered to vote and promised to cast a ballot in November.
If there was one key demographic group to watch after the first debate, most political experts think it was women. By some measures, Mr. Obama has lost a significant chunk of his large lead among women likely voters since September – at least for the moment. With all the focus on women, though, don't lose sight of several other vital groups where Mr. Obama's support has appeared to weaken, including younger Americans (those under 50), but also older Americans (over 65).
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell had a piece of advice for Mitt Romney on social issues just ahead of the debate: State your beliefs, then move on. "I think Mitt Romney's going to say, 'Look, I'm pro-life, the president's pro-choice, now let's talk about how we're going to create jobs and get our country out of debt,'" Mr. McDonnell told reporters shortly before the debate began.
That 12 million figure starts with "energy independence." The Romney energy plan–which stresses increasing oil and gas production–would produce more than three million jobs by the end of the decade, or 2020, his campaign says. That said, the intellectual ammunition behind that estimate also figures that continuing Obama policies would do about the same.
No doubt anticipating Obama attacks on Mr. Romney's economic policy proposals, the Romney camp just sent out a preemptive press release. It lists multiple authorities including respected economics firms for Mr. Romney's claim that his policies would create 12 million jobs in his first term – i.e. in 4 years. The release is a bit fuzzy on the timeframe, and one headline says the components of his plan "will enable robust job growth over the next four years and beyond." It adds that the tax plan "will help create nearly 7 million jobs over the next decade."
For his part, Mr. Romney hopes to continue to build a case for centrist voters that he is both likable and trustworthy as president.
One relatively new issue that could come up tonight is the math behind Mr. Romney's claim that his policies would generate 12 million jobs. Mr. Obama also is apparently gearing up for another assault on the math behind Mr. Romney's tax plan, although the president's attack on that issue seemed not-very-productive in the last debate.
On its face, Mr. Obama's strategy might seem obvious – get more aggressive. But there are distinct risks. Sure, it's hard to imagine the no-drama Mr. Obama invading Mr. Romney's personal space onstage, as Al Gore did to George W. Bush in a 2000 debate. Still, a real risk for Mr. Obama is that by attacking Mr. Romney on nitty-gritty details, Mr. Obama will be seen as ignoring the big-picture issue that voters really care about – the way forward to a stronger economy. That in turn could make Mr. Obama seem petty, and open him up to counter-punches. So Mr. Obama will need to pick his shots carefully.
Fully 72% of respondents in a Gallup poll said Mr. Romney won the first debate, versus 20% who said Mr. Obama won. One bright spot for Mr. Obama and his supporters: Recent Pew polling suggests that more people still expect the president to win tonight's debate than Mr. Romney, although the expectation gap has narrowed since the runup to the first debate.
First, to state the obvious: The biggest question tonight is whether President Barack Obama can regain some political momentum after Mitt Romney soundly defeated the president in their last confrontation in Denver about two weeks ago. Both nationally and in crucial swing states, Mr. Romney narrowed the gap between the two candidates, and even pulled alongside or ahead of the president in some national surveys. See all polls.
OK, let's get started. Welcome to WSJ's live blog of the second presidential debate. In a few minutes, other voices will be chiming in. For now, here are a few thoughts to set the political table.
Our host today is John D. McKinnon, who will be our main live blogger. We've also assembled a team of Wall Street Journal reporters in Washington to sound off in greater depth on the topics covered: Damian Paletta will specialize on taxes, the economy and the budget; Keith Johnson will offer insights on energy and environmental issues; Jay Solomon will focus on foreign policy issues; Louise Radnofsky will focus on health care and Medicare; and David Wessel will weigh in on the economy. Jess Bravin will keep an eye out for Supreme Court news. Also, Laura Meckler and Sara Murray will report from the debate itself, at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y.
Welcome to tonight's live blog. We'll be getting started in a little bit with some pre-debate analysis. The debate starts at 9 p.m. ET.
