the question is whether this is sort of a routine checkup or if this bill is truly going into the operating room. as for what the white house is saying about this, the deputy spokeswoman sarah huckabee sanders said in a briefing, a very short briefing, sean spicer spoke about 40 minutes and then she spoke about 20 minutes in the briefing room today. she said, yes, they re looking at making adjustments, making some changes to this legislation. she also pushed back on the score of the senate health care lej lejts la legislation that found that 22 million americans would find themselves without medicaid. here s what she had to say this afternoon. there is a reason he s bringing senators over here today to talk it through. we know there will be changes, we know there will be adjustments. the thing the president was committed to was making sure that anybody who currently receives medicaid that s not touched, and that is consistent with what s in the bill.
leak names of american citizens? if that were true, we don t know much aboutut it and would have been absorbed with this non- story. i would like to finish that by saying these people make the necessary gymnastics to survive aal change in administration and before trump came into office, there were leaks about collusion and then comey assures him he is not the subject of an investigation, which it was leaked that he was with timing surreal making adjustments to fit the next administration and massage themselves in a way that would be .suitable. thank you for joining us. thank you. a news conference today, the president president denied asking for a loyalty oath.
says that, obamacare is a disaster, that this is going to replace it. and there are opportunities to improve on it. that s a little bit different than what we heard from sean spicer at the briefing yesterday, who said this is more about the sell than it is about making adjustments. but everyone who has come out of those meetings that we have talked to so far, ali, has said that the president did seem to listen to their concerns. listening and actually adjusting to the bill to the point to where they could support it are of course two different things but there s no doubt about it. they re going to coin to bring it in mick mulvaney has a lot of ins with conservatives on the hill. reince priebus is going to deal with some of the outside groups and vice president pence who knows a lot of people outside the hill and was also for 12 years a governor, ali. i want to bring in business crystal, the founder and editor of the weekly standard.
like michael fleischer less overhead but mr. obama opposes that. so the average working american is caught in this terrible ideological war between the liberal president who want to continue spending to stimulate the economy and an angry opposition that wants to let the free marketplace loose. right now it appears the president will stay his liberal course that opens him up for width they ring criticism for example. first lady michelle obama under fire for taking a vacation in spain. white house says the obamas themselves are paying for her personal expenses but security costs, of course are born by the taxpayer. some americans believe this is a slap in the face. that the first lady should be helping the american economy by traveling here. democrats like kirsten powers and maureen dowd have even criticized the trip. coming up the economy is not getting much better and the white house does not seem to be making adjustments. it took president reagan about two years to turn the jimmy cart
