most people on the progressive side wanted it to work, meaning to get people enrolled who work every day but don t have health care? is the plan enrolling people like that? in the early going, definitely not. that was very distressing to the supporters of this legislation, chris. more recently, there are indications they re now reaching the uninsured. great researching, the new york times, this morning, millions of people getting health insurance that didn t have it previously. new york and kentucky are saying 70% to. 5 of their enrollees are newly insured. nia, the interesting thing the president didn t do, he didn t sell this health care thing. he did it because he d argue things like pre-existing conditions and your kids get covered until they re 26 to meet the middle class, comfortable
these are one-off characters. everybody has their fringes. the problem is you have policies that in the voters minds can be conflated with the crazy things that some people say. yeah, but joe, this is just not crazy things. this is actual policy. the idea the president is lawless has even become a party of part of the gop s policy. congressman cantor, for example, sent a memo to the house gop saying, quote, president obama has provided new clarity as to what constitutes an imperial presidency. the house will consider a number of bills to restore the balance of power created by our founders. this is cantor to gop members of congress. this is party policy. and by the way, the president hasn t done anything that ronald reagan didn t do, that george bush didn t do, that other presidents haven t done. and if you notice, they never
nation and this week did coverage. face the nation s was especially good. what those two shows did that meet the press didn t do was they talked to scientists. they both talked to either climate scientists or meteorologists. meet the press had a debate which the other two shows really didn t in the same way, about whether climate change is happening. even though the host david gregory started out by saying that he didn t want to have a debate, he still brought on someone who denied that climate change was happening in the first place. right. he said he wanted to talk about the policy, get beyond whether it s happening or not, but having a skeptic on they seemed to get muzled in the issues that have been debated endlessly. it makes a lot of sense if you don t want to have a debate about the facts, you don t bring on people whose primary focus in the segment is going to be to debate the facts about whether climate change exists or not. it was why do you think shows are c
actually in his latest new yorker interview, he actually blames the media and fox news for the reason why he can t get his message across. this is what he said. he says this, according to new yorker, in the issue, he has one of his big challenges is to get the issue has been the inability of my message to penetrate the republican base so that they feel persuaded that i am not the caricature you see on fox news or rush limbaugh, but somebody who is interested in solving problems and is pretty practical. he goes on to say what ronald reagan didn t have and tip o neill didn t do, why they had it so easy, they didn t have congressmen in a congressman who can just line up against me on all these issues. so once again, not saying this is what i did wrong, like maybe senator snow said in maine before she left, she said the president has done nothing to reach across the aisle.
action lawsuit who are going to be looking into this. it s going to come out. and the u.s. attorney. he was une kwif call in his denial yesterday. he was not denying he was told by a staff, he wasn t denying that something occurred in the summertime and perhaps he had something to do with it or he didn t know, have anything to do with it. now, if you want me to believe that this was kept from the governor on purpose because they didn t want him involved, yet there was a culture that this comes up from, i could believe that. i had nothing to show to you that the governor did this on this particular day. i know what the governor didn t do, because i wrote a letter to mr. baroni when he was still with the port authority, assistant director, on september the 13th asking him, what in
