President Obama slams Romney's tax proposals, calls plan 'Romney Hood' – Paul Steinhauser reports

Out of nowhere, the famous outlaw Robin Hood has stepped into the 2012 presidential race, not as a candidate, but as a new attack line in President Obama's stump speech.

During a campaign stop in Stamford, Connecticut last night, the president dubbed Romney's tax plan "Romney Hood," saying that the candidate's proposals are "like Robin Hood in reverse."

Romney's camp has fired back, asserting that Obama's assertions are false and responding that "there's only one candidate in this race who's going to raise taxes on the American people – and that's Barack Obama."

On Early Start this morning, CNN political director Paul Steinhauser discusses this new line of attack and weighs in on speculation about Romney's VP pick.
