again disregard for what? for future generations and how would you do that? we re spending what we re doing now. we have got to reform obama care. treat everybody equally. quit giving waivers and exemptions to you cronies. give it to individuals. let s slow down the massive overspending because history will judge us. and character is when you do the right thing, even when nobody s watching or when the polls are against you. that is what we need to have. character and do the right thing. and let me in the end will come out good. i appreciate your passion, but i want to jump in with one final question it s a passion for honesty because we hadn t been getting any. of course we re not suggesting that everybody has great suggestions, you know, we have to mix and match you re wrong there, you re wrong there so what i ask you, sir, is tell me what the president
83% saying they disapprove of what you re doing there. so let me continue here, congressman. as you know, your colleagues have gone home for the weekend. no votes until monday night. will they get an earful from their constituents? or are they hearing a different course from the folks back home? or does it depend on where they re from? it depends in part of where they re from. if you re from new york or california where you believe spending your grandchildren s money is somehow moral than you may get encouragement to keep demanding more phone. but most americans are getting it. you re having unions now, one has voted to have a strike over obama care. it s the worst spending program in the history of the country. people are getting it. let me tell you about polls. listen this is so important. the only poll that s important is the poll after we get to where we re going. and i m telling you, if we cave and show complete disregard yet
grand canyon. with these deals comes a catch. states must foot the bill themselves. utah, colorado and south dakota also coming to similar agreements with the feds and so has new york state. starting tomorrow, it will reopen lady liberty to visitors once again. a stalemate in washington, d.c. now posing a danger to job security for lawmakers. we re going to discuss the gridlock and the public s growing anger with congressman h louie golmert later on. we ve seen major technical problems since the rollout of the obama care website. consumers hoping to sign up for the health care exchanges have been met with glitches and backedup web traffic. the obama administration says it s working to make improvements but now it seems the problem may be going beyond the initial registration process. molly hindenburg live now from
