Situational difference here, he is saying, well, lets work with this. lets put all this issue on to congress to saw what we come up with. this is a flip-flop of some sorts i would say. so it isnt surprising that people dont trust him. jon: judy, you know, president bush essentially during the bush years after 9/11, there were no other successful attacks on american soil. so when president obama campaigns against what he called, illegal wiretapping and everything else, during the campaign, all of...

>> lets work on that. >> but let me get back to policy with you, joan. extending unemployment benefits, you talked about how we have the deficit dropping. but the other part of this is that it actually would help the economy. >> yeah. >> it would create 200,000 jobs this year by boosting consumer demand. and not extending benefits really weakens the economy and costs 300,000 jobs. >> right. it actually does in the end more than pay for itself with its stimulative effects on the economy, reverend...

Party on one hand and ultra conservative on the other hand. so my argument to boehner and mcconnell is lets go ahead and have arguments on the things we disagree about. lets work on the things we do agree about. a classic example is immigration reform. we have both democrats and republicans voting for a common sense bill that would strengthen our borders, fix the legal iimmn system, that would hold companies hiring in hiring undocumented workers and taking advantage of them. oh, by the way, we w...

[ applause ] i took up this cause knowing it was hard. there was a reason why no other president had done it. to make sure every american has access to quality affordable health care and make sure that...
