Face to Face

Ed Gillespie, a senior adviser to Mitt Romney's campaign, says the president's policies have been "hostile to job creators" and Mitt Romney's policies would fix that.

Douglas Brinkley says the relationship between the White House and the press is now "very antagonistic." Authors Robert Merry, Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy share how the relationship has changed throughout history.

Michael Duffy thinks "If the Supreme Court acts in a certain way on health care, some of those accomplishments that the President was talking about last fall might not be as lengthy." Robert Merry, Nancy Gibbs and Douglas Brinkley agree it's too early to speculate on the president's legacy.

Obama Campaign Senior Adviser Robert Gibbs defends negative ads about Mitt Romney's time running Bain Capital which Gibbs says Romney's "only thesis for being President of the United States -that he's some kind of economic savior."

Democrats Sen. Hubert Humphrey and Rep. George McGovern appeared together on "Face the Nation" while they were campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination. They both expressed confidence that President Richard Nixon was beatable. Of course, neither of them ultimately did.

Vice President Joe Biden promised the families of fallen soldiers one day "the thought of your son or daughter or your husband or wife" will bring a smile to their lips before it brings a tear to their eyes. Bob Schieffer joins him in hoping that day comes sooner rather than later for all.

Sen. Richard Lugar says he served Hoosiers the best way he knew how by finding compromise to pass legislation that answered important questions and solve problems.

After their service, some veterans face another enemy at home: unemployment. But some companies have made it a priority to get newly discharged vets back to work. Mark Strassmann reports.

Newt Gingrich on Sunday defended Mitt Romney from attacks made on his record at Bain Capital. 'Bain as an issue doesn't work because people look at it in balance,' he said on 'Meet The Press'. 'And they say, wait a second, yeah, you can pick a couple companies that lost. You can pick a lot of companies that succeeded. And as even as the governor of Massachusetts said last week, it is a good company.'The Obama campaign has been hitting Romney hard on Bain recently, releasing a series of ads that focus on ways that Bain has hurt jobs creation. Obama on Monday argued that Romney's business experience doesn't make him qualified to be president.Gingrich said that the attack 'is going to fall flat on its face ... Obama picking a fight on the economy is probably the worst possible strategy for his campaign.'The former presidential candidate's defense of Romney's business record may surprise those who followed his campaign. At one point, Gingrich made Romney's Bain record a central issue and referred to private equity as 'rich people figuring out clever legal ways to loot a company.'Obama's campaign was even inspired by Gingrich's attacks.Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley hinted at the discrepancy between Gingrich's statements now and those he made during the campaign.'I agree with Speaker Gingrich during his campaign when he had to address that claim that Mitt Romney initially made that, oh, he created hundreds of thousands of jobs, a claim he eventually backed off of under the speaker's questioning and pressing,' he said.Also on HuffPost:

Outgoing Sen. Dick Lugar (R-Ind.) said Sunday that he has no plans to campaign for Richard Mourdock, who handily beat him in a primary race earlier this month with the strong backing of Tea Party conservatives.Asked by host Bob Schieffer on CBS' Face the Nation whether he'll lend Mourdock a hand in the general election, Lugar suggested that his support will be extremely limited.'I've indicated that I hope Republicans in Indiana will support him,' Lugar said. 'I would say that I've offered advice to my former opponent as to the kind of way he might be a constructive senator. I hope that he will in fact begin to adopt some of these ideas.'But for the time being,' Lugar said, 'I don t plan an active campaign.'Mourdock, Indiana's current state treasurer, took about 60 percent of the vote to Lugar's 40 in a closely watched primary fueled largely by outside money. Conservative groups, disenchanted with Lugar's willingness to compromise with Democrats, dumped millions of dollars into the effort to unseat him after 36 years in the Senate.On Sunday, Lugar, 80, argued that national conservative groups had painted a misleading picture of his record, managing to undo his long-term favorability ratings with Hoosiers.'I think Indiana was unique in the sense that outside groups, whether it's FreedomWorks or the Club for Growth or the NRA or whatever, had no other playground. Indiana was it,' Lugar said. 'They were able to come in early on with hundreds of thousands and finally millions of dollars. I had 60 or 70 percent [approval] all these years, and it came down in this mirage.'Lugar previously told HuffPost that he wouldn't comment on whether or not he'd campaign for Mourdock.Senators on both sides of the aisle have said they regret losing Lugar, who had a reputation for bipartisanship. President Barack Obama issued a statement upon Lugar's primary loss, saying, 'W

CANNES, France -- Robert Pattinson has gone from playing a vampire to depicting another kind of bloodsucker a billionaire financier whose world crumbles in the course of a nightmarish cross-town drive in 'Cosmopolis.'The 'Twilight' heartthrob stars in David Cronenberg's Cannes Film Festival entry as sleek, self-centered moneyman Eric Packer, who sees his fortune and sense of self evaporate during an eventful day in his stretch limo.Pattinson's famously handsome face is on-screen in every scene, but 'Twilight'`s young fans may be surprised and confused by a film that explores Cronenberg's fascination with physical, social and psychic violence.The 26-year-old actor is not worried.'If some 12-year-olds went to go and see that, or got the video for their birthday sitting down and watching that, it's incredible,' the actor said during an interview on a Cannes hotel rooftop. 'I would love that to happen if I was a kid.'It's a bit of amiable mischief-making from an actor who wants to be known as more than doe-eyed vampire Edward Cullen, in love with human Bella Swan in the 'Twilight' saga.He said he craves the cinematic understatement that blockbusters don't always provide.'I remember when I was in the first `Twilight' movie, I really wanted to not have Edward touch Bella, apart from when he saves her life and when they kiss the first time,' said Pattinson, lightly rumpled but friendly and poised after a long day of press interviews. 'I was thinking of the (Ang Lee) movie `Lust, Caution,' and thinking there should be this tension there the whole time just standing near someone there's electricity.'But sometimes it just makes things too hard. You kind of forget that most people want to go to the cinema just to watch a movie rather than watch something really weird.''Weird' is par for the course with Cronenberg, and Pattinson gets
