welcome back to "the ed show." last night president obama said the american people were fed up and he's right. but republicans are still trying to sell their plan through the right-wing media. we already told you about the boehner trying to get clearance from rush limbaugh, but now politico reports a bigger pr campaign by boehner and his top lieutenants. they are privately reaching out to sean hannity, britt hume of the "wall street journal," and conservative commentators of the "national review," "the weekly standard," and other publications. no wonder they're so desperate, because the numbers show they're in trouble. in a new poll, 46% trust president obama more to make the right decisions on how to reduce the federal deficit. 34% trust republicans more.
