absolutely right. at some point the leader is placed in that position to bring members together to do the right thing. leader pelosi when she was speaker she did an excellent job of it to bring us together to make those right decisions. and some of those decisions are hard. your entire caucus is not going to agree with you all the time, but that's the role of a leader, martin. that's what leaders do. that's why they're selected to do what they do. and so i'm hoping that he will take the leader pelosi's advice and get this done for the american people. it's not about democratic or republican. it's about doing what is right for the american people and doing it right now. >> indeed, sir. congressman elijah cummings. thank you as always. >> always a pleasure. stay with us. our type lines coming up. >> obama is daring republicans literally to blink. well, the joke's on him because i know some republicans who had their eyelids surgically removed. ♪
