that we would have gotten passed last time that would not be able to pass this time. i think the president himself has said that we may need to look at, you know, smaller items on certain issues. but again, i want to emphasize the fact that we are going to continue to focus on making sure we eliminate things like these perverse tax incentives to ship american jobs overseas. >> i want to play you a quick sound bite from the president, who was campaigning in illinois. something he said caught our attention. >> so 20 months later we no longer face the possibility of a second depression. our economy is growing again. >> a strategy memo, democratic strategy memo went out, stan greenburg, pollster, james carville, democratic operative, that said stop saying the economy has gotten better. this works against democrats. it doesn't work for them. in fact, it shoves people into the republican side.
