would have done. they would recognize that lives can be lost by too much discussion about things like that. >> ed henry is at the white house. it is interesting to note that liz cheney said the same thing on the fox news network. is the white house responding to this notion? >> reporter: they are not directly responding. in recent days, they have heard this criticism before. basically, white house aides believe it is nonsense. they say they were just trying to give the american people as much information as possible in a broad brush, about the mission to kill osama bin laden and also to try and let the world know that this was not just about eliminating bin laden but about getting intelligence that may help foil other plots in the days ahead without giving up too much information, the broad brush. the democratic position could be

labeled amnesty by critics, because remember, democrats for the first two years of president obama's term, controlled both houses of congress with very large majorities and it was just not an issue that he wanted to take up. but as you get closer to 2012 and those hispanic voters that you mentioned become increasingly important to the president who sees his poll numbers not where he wants them to be, you have got to find a way to reinvent it. general jen is he at a iraq of losing those hispanic voters, being that he won 67, 68 percent of the votes in 2008? >> it's not just important that you win. but that you have a large turnout and that there are issues that can drive hispanic voters to the polls. it's not just enough to win 67 percent of that vote. you need a large turnout in nevada, colorado, virginia, other places that are going to be right on the razor's edge when it comes to this election and where large hispanic turnout could make the difference. jenna: that's interesting. getting back to that mojo you were talking about earlier, why not use some of that mojo on the economy,

critical things, then we can take a look at everything else in terms of where we need to cut. it might mean a furlough of federal workers, which is not a bad idea. >> quickly, mr. boehner last night mentioned he would be interested, he would be allow a debt ceiling raise if there were equal cuts in spending. is that fair? >> it's fair. but it's another stall tactic. frankly, i'm disappointed with representative boehner for putting that on the table. this congress has shown it does not have the ability to stop spending. i think that they are just avoiding the tough choice. don't raise the debt ceiling. pay for the stuff that is critical. then the other things are forced cuts. >> there it is, a few minutes with john mccain. up next, democratic solution to soaring gas prices. repeal oil and gas subsidiaries. really? we talk about the real solutions how to ease pain at the pump with a former oil company executive. that's next.
