indicates that because democrats and republicans are saying we are not -- 535 members of congress, juan, are not going to do what i call fiscal surgery. that's what is going to be required. now, here's what the republicans did not do. they have not done a good job of explaining to the american people what they can and cannot do relative to the budget. and so the perception that's reflected in that poll is that they ought to be able to move mountains when they don't control all of the mountain tops. >> juan: herman cain, wait a minute. we get republicans on the factor and immediately they want to point a finger at president obama. why don't you talk about republican responsibility here. why aren't republicans talking about the need for entitlement cuts, social security. medicare, medicaid. defense spending and making that case to other republicans? >> well, i don't know why they are not talking about it. but herman cain is talking about it i gave 20 speeches last week
