Resolution to continue the operation of the government and can you not sign that? that could be the next sort of inflection point. >> i wonder, john, theres a lot of talk about the entitlement programs. the president mentioned them today at the press conference. i thought this was really interesting. politico quotes a senior gop congressman who says this notion that republicans are eager to reform entitlements, folks, democrats have it all wrong. republicans would love to avoid the issue politic...
