It is not what our founders envisioned. >> joining us is gregory meeks, democratic congressman of new york. thank you for joining us. we understand that the laws and rules and regulations that apply to fill busters in the senate do not apply in the house. what did you think of the president calling out the kind of obstructionism that he's basically been the victim of for five years? >> he's had enough. i think it is clear from his tone he's been conciliatory, he has reached out, tried to do everything that he could to make sure that things worked in a bipartisan way. and at every step of the w...

With him when he spoke about obama care, as if supposedly you were trying to distance yourself from the president. you've seen those stories. i want you to react to it. >> i don't pay any attention to those stories. if they had looked at my calendar they would see i was hosting a lunch in lake charles for 300 women and i wasn't going to stand them up. i'm sorry i couldn't be with the president. i flew down with him, put out a strong statement, he acknowledged me. i'm proud of what this president has done in many ways and many issues. we don't agree on everything. i didn't agree with george bus...
