Matter? >> at the time chris dodd said it was a huge mistake to pass it with only democrats. it has i think ceded part of the public lack of support for obama which has now grown over time. the real problem is now, it is in place and i think democrats are getting treated like the alamo. >> final thought. >> republicans are in a dangerous place here. we had four elections in a row where we said we are going to do this. we own everything. if we dont do t go into red states, purple states. they hav...

Ambassador. when i was undersecretary for arms control in international security i did dealing with proliferation, i did it a whopping 10 times in four years. and for joe biden and chris dodd and john kerry it was a big issue in my confirmation hearing. lets see if they think its a big issue now. >> bill: you said political. did you ever do it for political reasons? >> no, i said i would be happy to have the names and intercepts put on the public record. >> bill: come back in two days. shannon, ...
