oil spill. they'd like to get back up to 50 by the election. if you ask the american people, country right track or wrong track the wrong track number has spiked up since the oil spill and most pollsters tell you it's part of it. that it's mostly the economy but people keep looking for something to be happy about and when you see those images of the oil that certainly doesn't help. how do they see it there? >> two different ways. first of all in terms of the impact on his agenda they say inside the west wing, look, this president got the stimulus bill, got the health care reform. now he's got wall street reform that he's going to sign in the next few days. they think his agenda has been moving forward despite this from a substantive standpoint but they realize this gulf oil spill in particular has taken them off that monotonous, you know, the straight forward, stick to the jobs, jobs, jobs issue he talked about in the state of the union. it has deterred from that message so they're hoping if they turn the corner here -- they already have some accomplishments in their back pocket but they want to go to the american people like he did go to michigan today and focus in on jobs. they have not been able to do that in large part because of this gulf spill in recent weeks.
