the white house's view and selling this as an aggressive stab at our spending because critics on the left say it's too hard on low-income folks and in the center they say it doesn't bow after entitlements. he is doing this as the house is taking up spending for this career and is sort of framing the budget fight we will see play out in the next few weeks, and sort of making his approach to this fight and saying i'm occupying this space in the center and i'm willing to work with republicans. what are you going to do? many white house reporters are frustrated because they have not gotten many chances to speak to the president since the egypt events have unfolded, so he will get questions about that. >> theres that been a sense of frustration in talking to the folks at the white house that this is a white house that promised transparency here but in terms of access, it's something we it h to fight for.
