The president facing more plunging Approval Ratings. As the president honored mandela, the white house announced the administration has turned to the clinton era for help. Former clinton chief of staff john podesta returns to the white house to serve as what the Obama Administration calls a counselor to the president after a series of scandals, misrepresentations, misstatements, and contradictions over a number of events and issues in the overall failure of the obamacare rollout. Major issues that now threaten the president s agenda, his legacy, and his partys prospects and next years elections. White House Press Secretary jay carney said of the move, the president is looking forward to his council on many issues, including the implementation of the Affordable Care act, a Climate Action plan, and executive actions.

On his way to the podium, president obama shook hands with other world leaders, including cuban president raul castro and what the Administration Says was a spontaneous and counter. Nonetheless, some republicans slammed the president for. Senator mark arubia said, obama should have used the moment to ask castro about the basic freedoms that our that are systematically denied.

The house and senate have announced just moments ago they finally reached the elusive budget deal that both parties had sought. The deal is for two years and establishes the amount that congress is legally allowed to spend on discretionary not entitlement items over the next two fiscal cycles including the remainder of this fiscal year and for fiscal 2015. The deal would save approximately 63 billion in sequestration cuts spread equally between defense and nondefense and would require the raising of fees including airline fees and an overall federal Employee Pension programs and contributions. Those changes to include an increase in the annual contributions paid by most federal workers. This bill reduces the deficit by 23 billion it does not raise taxes and it cuts spending and a smarter way. That means and a budget agreement that reduces the deficit without raising taxes and replaces some of the arbitrary acrosstheboard spending cuts with smarter, promised reforms that pay for this relief. Lou house is expected to take the bill up as early as tomorrow the senate to follow if it passes the lower chamber. Also on capitol hill today, republicans and democrats on the House Foreign Affairs committee wrote secretary of state on the proposed Iranian Nuclear deal as the president s top diplomat attempted to persuade congress against enacting new sanctions against the iranian regime. Ranking democrat blasted the Obama Administration for not requiring that iran stopped enriching uranium as part of the six month interim deal. I want to make it clear that i have some serious reservations about the agreement. First and foremost, it seems to me at a minimum that it should have required the iranians to suspend the uranium enrichment as demanded by six separate Un Security Council resolutions. I do not think it is asking too much to say that at least while we are talking he stopped enriching. Lou called the negotiations delicate and confirmed that the road Iranian State would only be required to slow their enrichment process. Iran cannot increase the number of centrifuges in operation, and it will not install or use any next generation centrifuges to enrich uranium. Lou in the Senate Finance committee today held a confirmation hearing for the president s choice to head the Internal Revenue service, john cussed cannon who told senators he would work to restore the public trust in the wake of the agencys targeting of conservative groups in the scandal that has ensued.

There is also no technical deadline, which means no public deadline. Obamacare problems continue to compound themselves. The Washington Post report that it is in addition to millions losing access to their Current Health care plans to let doctors and hospitals, obamacare will also limit drug coverage for those with chronic conditions. Joining us now, fox news contributor, former senator scott brown. Good to have you with this. Good to be on. Lou every night seems to bring another development, revelation about what obamacare is with the nancy pelosi is voice over my back saying, you know, if you want to know just passed the darn thing. We are finding out. The idea that drug coverage would be lost for people with chronic conditions and other roadblocks are just unimaginable. But they keep coming. Well, i dont want to settle jews so, but when i was running for the United States senate i pointed out a lot of the problems of were going to be experienced. You have half a trillion of medicare cuts which are starting to take effect. Eighteen new taxes including the medicare device tax that is crushing businesses. It is no surprise. The money has to come from somewhere. Theyre going to take obviously from the lesser expensive drugs. On sorry, the more expensive drugs and try to, you know, save money so that they campaign for the entire plan. It is broken. Everybody knows that it is broken except the administration. That is why they brought in podesta. As you referenced earlier in your show, the average american is not going to be sitting around the dinner table during the holiday saying so, my gosh. He is here. Think in this. No one knows a mix of the washington insiders. He is there to push a very liberal Progressive Agenda to expand the president s executive powers to try to address and deal with a lot of things that congress is now allowing the do. Lou and as you well know, he is a highly effective person and operator. But he is being as jay carney said, being brought into employment the Affordable Care act. I thought it was an extraordinary choice of words because if it is going to rest on his shoulders, as good as he is, he is probably going to be in deep trouble. Well, you will have a lot of work to do. The fact in the president and his administration and everybody who is trying to a minister the obamacare plan is basically changing long without the ability of congress to interject be part of the process, i would not be shocked if theyre is a constitutional challenge as to the fact that they are making and changing laws without the Proper Authority to do so. Number two, Everybody Knows that it is a mess. Even their own some democratic senators, as you know, senator baucus said it is a train wreck. It is. The website, the cancellations. Each and every day there is something new which is why you have senators and congressmen who voted for this who rammed it through the need to go back to their home states immediately until people why they voted for it, why they did not vote for the grandfathering of all these amendments that would have given the protections that the American People deserve and why theyre losing their Prescription Drug care now. Lou lets take a look at the president s most recent disApproval Rating which is an astonishing 57 . His Approval Rating has dropped to 38 in the newest poll. Also showing 41 percent would vote for a republican. 38 percent for a democrat for the house. The first time that democrats have, as the underdogs on the generic ballot. This is the panic in the concern and the anxiety that we saw in the senate early which is now in thh house. This administration making these moves. Is it a sign of desperation . Of course it is. You get what you vote for. Every single democratic senator voted before i got there to ram this thing through. And then they made sure that they did not take up one amendment that would have protected the American People through the grandfathering process to allow them to keep the plan. They had many opportunities to fix this and says to do nothing. Now theyre filing see why a bills, obviously covering a backside saying, they go home. Im really doing it. I did not release understand it. Im going to fix it. Theyre just doing it for show. The American People finally waking up and holding senators and congressmen accountable for ramming something through against the American Public policy that is hurtful to the medical industry, doctors, hospitals, nurses to run our great country. Lou to put questions. We are already at a time. This new budget deal. Mary ann ryan had pulled off. The leaders are supporting. Your reaction to what is the first bipartisan budget action that i have seen in years. Well, its about time. As you know the senator said that it does not address the big things, and clearly it does not. Saving 23 billion, while that is important we are running a 17 trillion National Debt and a trillion dollar deficits. We need to do more. They need to address theebig things. Theyre just taking the cancer that they can go home for the Winter Holiday break. The good news is it does create some certainty and stability so people can plan, businesses and individuals can plan. We do get back to the regular water. That is a good thing. We really have to start getting into obviously medicare, medicaid, social security. Lou lets cut to one of the other big things. Your view on what you think of Draft Movements, particularly for the United States senate in New Hampshire. You are one of those people b
