energy policy as well as regulations to protect works and rein in industries. let s turn to columnist for columnists, david korn. i need to preface something i m going to say about whether or not the president feels appreciated. let me quote mr. burton directly. what the president is doing is making sure that people know whether or not you re on the left or the right that we ve done a lot, we ve got a lot more to do. and if you re on the left, someone like keith olbermann or rachel maddow, someone who helps keep our government honest, then pushes and prods to make sure people are true to progressive values he thinks those folks provide an invaluable service. i want to thank mr. burton for his kind words and the president for his. and i want to sort of rise to this bar, i hope, by asking this. if on the eighth day of the administration, if the president knew the gop has been anti-everything, why has he been negotiating with them as if he could get a yes from them?
and rein in the financial industry. let s turn to the washington bureau chief, columnist for politics daily.com. good evening, keith. i need to preface something i m going to say about whether or not the president feels appreciated. let me quote mr. burton directly. what the president is doing is making sure that people know whether or not you re on the left or the right that we ve done a lot, we ve got a lot more to do. and if you re on the left, someone like keith olbermann or rachel maddow, someone who helps keep our government honest, then he thinks those folks provide an invaluable service. i want to thank mr. burton for his kind words and the president for his. and i want to sort of rise to this bar, i hope, by asking this. if on the eighth day of the administration, if the president knew the gop has been anti-everything, why has he been negotiating with them as if he could get a yes from them? because the president doesn t
