"outfront," democrats turn on the white house. the top obama officials got an earful from senate democrats during a closed door meeting about the obama care website fiasco. the white house now in damage control mode. republicans saying we told you so. we begin our coverage with dana bash. >> the gentleman from ohio, mr. boehner. >> march 2010. then minority leader john boehner came to the house floor as democrats were poised to pass obama care. he issued this warning. >> look at this bill. ask yourself, do you really believe that if you like the health plan that you have, that you can keep it? no you can't. >> it is just one example of a republican effort before the health care bill became law of the handled to push back on this presidential sales pitch. >> if you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan. period. no one will take it away. no matter what. >> that was the summer of 2009 during the least health care legislation battle. so was this weekly gop address. >> on the stump interesting president regularly tells americans that if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. but if you read the bill, that just isn't so. for starters, within five years, every health care plan will have to meet a new federal definition for coverage. one that your current plan might not match even if you like it. >> fast forward three years, that's exactly what is happening. insurance companies are dropping americans all across the country from their health plans. many because policies don't have coverage now required under obama care. democrats trying to calm constituents, call it a good thing. >> if we don't enforce this policy, insurance company can continue offering flimsy coverage that disappears when people actually need it. and no one should want that. >> the hhs secretary struggled to explain. some current plans are no longer available because they're bad for consumers and no longer legal. >> many women are charged 50% more than men. that will be illegal. >> the problem? that's not what people expected when they heard this over and over. >> if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. >> while republicans are eager to say i will you so, privately democrats are increasingly frustrated and regretful that they left americans with expectations that didn't pan out. in fact, this week the number two house democrat, steny hoyer said they should have been more precise in saying that people may not be able to keep their plans if they don't meet new imagineder to coverage. >> our thanks to dana. a lot of questions. >> the former contractor who leaked some of america's most secretive surveillance programs is now work forg a major russian website. the united states has charged with espionage. as to government property but hasn't been able to arrest him because the russians are giving him asylum. outfront, a former counter terrorism agent. there are still a lot of questions and they're saying we cannot tell you exactly what this online job is because of his security, quote/unquote. but a job working for a major online company in russia, for real? >> well, you know, i think the problem with that is that who knows whether this is just a cover for the russian government or if this is their version of the nsa that's operating through this internet site. the fact is that whether or not he reveal secrets overtly, he can still reveal intelligence about our capabilities. if you remember the scene from the movie argo where they find the shredded documents and one by one those pieces of papers are literally useless but when you put it together, it is a lot of jerns. so a give like edward snowden could leach out a lot of intelligence just by in that field in russia. >> which is an interesting point wi . maybe they sell hats but it could be their version of the nsa. you don't always say you are what you are. that brings me to the point. we don't know what the job. is his attorney said they're with holding it for security reasons. how valuable, tim, do you think snowden is at this point as an intelligence asset for the russians? >> he is of great value. just his knowledge of how he got hired. the process of his hiring. the type of work he did. the personnel he worked. with all of those things, there's a arraign why when you're in the intelligence communicate and you have a top secret clearance or a clearance above that, why pillow talk is banned. everyone you associate. with any foreign nationals you associate with all have to be reported. the agencies have to look at that and to see if there is a possible envelope being built around that you could sap information from you. so whether he intentionally gives it out or not is not the question. it is what he knows and what those around him want to know. >> does fact that he has a job. what does that mean in material of his significance? the russians, just to anger the americans, i was looking for a polite way of saying it cork give him aisle you will. but giving him a job could mean something else. you would think if they had exploited him to the fullest, they're not going to have pity on him themselves don't care about any individual american over there. they're like, we're done with you. wash our hands, go. we don't care what the americans do to you. the fact that they're letting him get a job, what does that mean? >> i think it means, i guess on my part, they're going to juice hill for more intelligence and more information until there's nothing left but pulp. giving him a job in the communicate that he work in before. even though it is not an intelligence job on the surface, it could be used, his position could be used to drain intelligence from him. so i think it is significant because whether this company is allied with the russian government or allied in some way with other foreign intelligence agencies, i don't know. like google and i can't had a and other companies here in the united states that the nsa hacked into and was able to get back door intelligence and data from them. the same thing would be going on in russia. >> thank you. still to come, controversial comments made by ted cruz's father themselves regularly campaign together. it is not like his father that he never sees says something outrageous. you will hear what his father has had to say. >> plus major news about electronic devices on planes. you might not have to shut down that, you know, anymore. and for the third time, body parts found at a water treatment plant. the mystery gets bigger. we investigate. i got this. [thinking] is it that time? the son picks up the check?
