The shutdown would end today. call a vote. call a vote. put it on the floor. and let every individual member of congress make up their own minds. >> ever since the country entered shutdown mode, president obama has been pushing that message. take a vote. he has been calling on house speaker john boehner to bring up for a vote what everybody is calling a clean cr. that just means money to fund the government without strings attached to other policy things like getting rid of health reform or what...

Thats good. >> so julianna, any sense in the white house that the same people who said we will not negotiate, we will not negotiate, we will not negotiate, are starting to think oh god, 51% of americans angry with us. we may have to negotiate. >> i think one of the lessons that the white house takes from the 2011 debacle over the debt ceiling then was that by negotiating, the president actually came down to their level and rolled in the mud with the rest of them and thats why he came out so inju...
