Well today, as he celebrated his signature health care law, meeting and exceeding expectations in its implementation, president obama made the case forcefully in a tone of voice he does not usually use. president obama made the case today on this victory lap speech that democrats all over the country ought to be running on the achievements of this law. and that republicans who opposed it then and opposed to now ought to pay a price not just in history for taking that stance but ought to pay a pr...

>> but even with full implementation and full funding, the affordable care act never gets to universal coverage. >> well, first of all, we dont know whether its going to get past 96%, 97% or not. we have projections. i think whats surprising is how big a surge there was at the end here. remember, we had two months of basically no enrollment at the start here and yet we crossed the threshold the congressional budget office projected. it suggests to me the demand for insurance is a lot higher, mor...

System. the augmented system goes over global star, and the result is, you can continuously track one second at a time for continuously across any trip and know exactly where an airplane is, that is invaluable, and in the case of 370, it would have told us whether the plane turned. whether the plane continued straight, and when it stopped emitting all together. >> is the government delaying the implementation of the product that you want to bring to mark sunset. >> they are not. we are in the pr...
