charlie rangel coming out and saying they need to get back to work. more and more folks seem to be saying this doesn t look good, at a minimum, for them to be on vacation while the economy s bleeding and the dow is hemorrhaging and we re getting credit downgrades. reporter: sure. and, megyn, you re right. there are more and more calls for action and for congress to come back and do something. the problem is you need a plan fist. you need a blueprint of what they re actually going to get done because as we saw in the last three weeks before they left for recess, before this debt ceiling deal that eventually passed both chambers there was a lot of back and forth and a lot of grinding to a halt. there has to be a plan, a call of action that they can actually believe that they can get through. either chamber of congress and then to the president s december tock try to effect things. right now there s not a sense that there is such a plan, and there are calls for the leadership

welcome back to the ed show. last night president obama said the american people were fed up and he s right. but republicans are still trying to sell their plan through the right-wing media. we already told you about the boehner trying to get clearance from rush limbaugh, but now politico reports a bigger pr campaign by boehner and his top lieutenants. they are privately reaching out to sean hannity, britt hume of the wall street journal, and conservative commentators of the national review, the weekly standard, and other publications. no wonder they re so desperate, because the numbers show they re in trouble. in a new poll, 46% trust president obama more to make the right decisions on how to reduce the federal deficit. 34% trust republicans more.
