while our number one objective is to make sure this president is successful. and so sometimes the president has often said when he was running for office, i may not tell you what you want to hear but i will tell you what you need to hear. i think that's what we must do. we must tell him what we believe that he needs to hear and hope that we can work things out. i'm sure we will. i mean, i ran his campaign by the way in maryland and his primary and general. i see him as a very good friend. but sometimes, you know, friendship can -- you can go through some tough times. >> rocky moments. all right. representative cummins thanks so much for being with us. >> been my honor. >> thank you. >> next, so you ready to say good-bye to 2010? when we come back the president closes out the year jibjab style. you don't want to miss it.
