Couple years there there were republicans fighting for all efforts to do that were fought by the democrats unfortunately to fix fannie and freddie, should bush have fought harder for it . Absolutely. Did the democrats stop it in the senate . Yes, they did we need reform. The first thing obama did when he came in was make that spending in iraq and afghanistan in the base line of the budget to make it infinitely into the future. We took that back and stopped that abuse with the budget deal going into 2011, the republicans in the house and senate. We dramatically have different parties, the Republican Party both willing to reform entitlements and paul ryan we talked about earlier has four times put forward a budget that reforms entitlements and keeps the country from going bankrupt.

That also changes the dynamic as far as the United States is concerned. The foreign secretary said, we have made some progress in the negotiations, i think there is a willingness on both sides to try to reach a deal, but the obstacles are still formidable. These are about Big Decisions which are going to have to be reached primarily by iranian colleagues, about the future of their nuclear industry, and the amount they have invested in it. Those are difficult decisions. And as the foreign secretary said, there are still a number of them which are critical to success on which we do not have movement.
