the republican advancing on all fronts there
leading a budget slashing offensive in washington
in a war on union rights in a number of states
awsome progressive lawmakers are starting
to get frustrated president bomb it is it
made me counter-argument clearly enough
organ congressman peter defazio said he wants
to see more backbone from the president quote
the problem is a negotiator in chief and where
he'll end up and whether we can put some skill
is fine ice sumi caved on taxes in december
cassie was blackmail of the treaty with russia
the nuclear weapons which was absolutely critical
that's pretty pathetic also
wow those are strong words and that's going
to mark
congressman we're says quote
we spent a lot of time waiting for the delaware
council obama white house
and we kind of to some degree have to internalize
idea that you know what that's probably not
the way to go
we have to start initiating some of this
if you watch a show on a regular basis for
salt tablets or are we appreciate secondly
you know i couldn't agree more with that statement
and our fight over n_p_r_ and the republicans
as usual have landed the first punch today
the house voted to defund n_p_r_ and of course
partisan vote of two hundred twenty eight
oh one ninety two congressman weiner pointed
out they've certainly of npr budget thread
on the house floor today
atomic striking track fitzpatrick brothers
they talk about master cylinders in slave
cylinders it's katie
i'm glad my republican friends are finally
getting to the bottom of this and they will
all that giggling as snorting that they do
every weekend on their show as can be some
kind of conduct clearly talking to the russians
are the chinese are something with all that
giggling and snorted
its financial relieved that we had been some
more urgency session that we waive the roles
of the house they require seventy two hours
so we thought
we get these guys off my radar
north has rear first decade of course fashion
everywhere is joining us now
first you know on the republicans
their complaint obama's filling up brackets
when there's so many more important things
going on
and they're not only got the japan situation
we are no fly zone libya
and or about the threat of npr
yeah that's pretty much a summer you know
they are kind of a draft in their own right
because
the a pretty good on what they are against
they know they're against health care bonino
against their french of arkansas they know
they've already achieved one of things they
wanted to do is give it expressed in millions
and billions
beyond that they're kind of wonder and try
to figure out what to do each day
so the idea that there are finally cracking
down on wait wait don't tell me in morning
edition and clicking clack i guess they finally
found their cause for the week
all right now congressman there's been some
tough quotes some of which i read this decision
another tough quote about the president
uh... if
is impression that uh... present no bomb is
a showing up to fight enough on these issues
but first let's be clear you know i very much
want to present a success and work hard to
make sure he serves a second term and
his record of success in the first he has
been pretty remarkable you know the counter
thrust that what they would say to people
like me and peter defazio stasio you may like
the the way we
we're proceeding maybe want to see more fight
for getting a lot of things done the for the
problem is that when we're having this debate
about the budget can't just be in the american
people about numbers it has to be about what
our values are as a party and what it is that
we're prepared to fight for and that's kind
of what we need a little bit more from the
president but it you know i i think you've
got a real issue and make a distinction you've
got people like senator mcconnell who wake
up every morning thinking about how they make
sure the president fails and the rest of us
in the democratic base who really want the
president to succeed
and i think the problem we have now is raw
watching this debate over budget numbers in
washington
we know clearly what the republicans did for
smaller government less taxes uh... so uh...
reduce deficits in his like that
the democrats have tortured killing a much
better way what is we're fighting for medicare
medicaid
daily environment education is the things
we're not gonna give on and i think that's
where we can use the presence of you see 'cause
related to the problem is in you know this
look
allah tax cuts are brothers got what they
wanted now on the budget of uh... president
gateway forty billion got no credit for it
you know on the cuts the heating oil et cetera
et cetera four billion at was the second at
six billion sanga seller problems have moved
image so how do we at the white house to realize
hey you know what this is not the right way
to constantly give it
you know but it's also important to know that
the lot of the things the president doing
that he's got some good things to fight on
you know
over the summer he said he wanted to have
every federal agency reduces waste by five
percent that's a big thing the budget is proposed
to two thousand twelve is the smallest non-defense
discretionary budget since eisenhower's now
like he doesn't have good things to go out
and pitch in to sell it to fight for
i think that we can see these budget negotiations
as simply being kind of transactions and i
think you know the president needs to understand
that one of the things that gets us all fired
up in gets us in congress
fight in a place that he can defend the things
we care about
exactly leads us to match for asking to do
a little more night couldn't agree more with
our congressmen when the thank you so much
for your time tonight thank you
