the president isn t just dealing with government push-back. yesterday democrats protested in opposition, with senator bernie sanders leading the charge. some of you may remember that when barack obama was running for president in 2008, he said that he would not cut social security. we want the president to remember what he said and not go back on his word. it issen clear whether the deal-making in general will actually go anywhere. tonight the president will break bread with sonar republicans, but with still bitter tastes lingering, perhaps they should start with dessert. with us, the washington post s ezra klein. what a day to have you, ezra. what a day. i m so happy to be here.
across the aisle but now i m going to govern. wouldn t this be considered loophole government because if george w. bush had done this, liberals whofb hitting the room? sure. there s no question that part of what happens when a president flexes authority is that the other branches of government push back against it. that s pretty standard. when you re going into an election year, the point of the president is whether or not his supporters will buy the congressional version of this story or whether or not they buy his version. either way it looks like it s moving forward. i said we don t have a name, right? no name yet. we should start a twitter hash tag, name melissa s show. msnbc host, always a pleasure. if you want to follow the good professor, her thoughts, log onto the nation.com. she s also on twitter. send her a note.
