Component. just strict spending cut this is very, very easy for obama to draw the same line on i would say that bill clinton drew in 1995. i would sooner shut down the government as bad as that is than sign a bill this disastrous to hurt this many people and the polls showed that countrys on clintons side heading in to that. national parks close and took three or four days for republicans to fold. i dont know how it will play out. >> the big question is how much people feel the pain. how much ar...

Those guys are just not willing to pick that fight right now and boehner in particular. i keep coming back to this. really key thing to remember is that boehner i think would be in real danger of losing the speakership if he cut the kind of deal the president is talking about and always remember that mitch mcconnell keeping an eye on whats happening in kentucky with an election coming up so i think its fanciful thinking. im sorry you didnt talk about obama talked about the jedi mind meld. >> tha...

Would you want to hold the sequester in place for military spending and not fordow most tick spending or would you take a hard look at both sides? >> right. i think weve got to lift the sequest sequester. it is an absurd way to do budgeting. i think we have to reform our national priorities. i do believe that we need substantial new revenue. by asking the wealthiest people in this country and the largest corporations, some of whom, by the way, in a given year made billions in profits and dont pa...
