they're focused on how can we show that it's not possible to get a good deal. and my simple point is let's wait and see what the deal is. >> so what's the strategy now to try to bring some sort of unanimity in terms of the tone and approach here? >> you know there's a bill in congress that's going through right now that would essentially give congress some kind of final approval of the agreement itself. essentially allow congress to disapprove of it and stop it from happening. the president is trying to say, let's slow down, can i finish the final details in june 1st and i'm happy to have congress weigh in after that. he's trying to delay people from coming out against the agreement so early before it's finished. i don't know how successful he's going to to be. the key question right now is not -- you've already seen republicans are pretty much adamantly against this. the key question now is will democrats look at it closely and decide they can support it. >> all right. perry bacon at the white house, thank you for that.
