representatives would stand strong saying we should fund every part but not obama care. and yet, mr. president, what we ve seen in the last two months has been extraordinary. millions of americans speaking up in overwhelming numbers. saying obama care isn t working. mr. president, the unions are jumping ship. democratic members of the senate and the house weapon to the president and said, we want to be exempted from obama care. this law isn t working. and it is worth reflecting on how extraordinary it is to see the american people rise up in such incredible numbers and to see the house of representatives engage in what i consider to be a profile in courage. standing with the american people. now, a path forward, the way we are going to stop obama care. the way we are going to stop the
time, i am optimistic, i am inspired by the millions of americans who have risen up. if the american people continue to rise up, i am confident that in time, the u.s. senate will follow the lead of the house of representatives and listen to the american people. that is our job. that is our responsibility. this is a terrible deal today. but it is a terrible deal for the american people. at the same time the path forward if the american people rise up, we re going to turn this around. we re going on restore jobs, we re going to restore economic growth. we re going on restore the ability of people struggling to climb the economic ladder and to achieve the american dream and we re going to stop the number one job killer in this country. that is obama care. you re listening to senator ted cruz. he is on the senate floor and giving a very impassioned indictment of obama care and the deal that is about to pass the
1,000 points. you can say it doesn t matter. you cast the vote that did what seemed to be the right thing for the country. you re saying that people who cast that vote paid the price of their jobs. that s pretty sad. it is a group that says we want this to pass but not with my vote. and you said i hope this passes but i can t vote for it. they re at their own political safety. as you look at the plates in american politics, these districts have become so polarized. they re either safely republican or safely democrat. senate not so much. you get a bigger vote in the senate. i have to say. i think with everything he is saying makes sense. he is being honest. it is a pathetic reality. that you have people casting votes hoping they don t get what they want because it smart for reelections. that is against everything americans would like to think is happening. in that case it comes back to
it s a comeback story. there s no question that the city of new orleans is stronger, faster and better. we ve rebuilt the education system, the health care system, economic development. as you noted, tourism. different parts are coming back at different levels. when it gets cold, the poor get colder, and lower ninth will continue to struggle, as it did before katrina. but the overall message from the city of new orleans today is the resilience of the people here and how far we have come. as president obama said yesterday on the steps of lincoln memorial, we can talk about where we ve been, but how far we have to go. this city continues with challenges, but the story of new orleans is good for america, and we re thankful for everything americans have done for us. we know that the city is host of the super bowl, sugar bowl, ncaa women s final four,
companies in offshoring jobs did him damage and rightfully so. you make use of the charges made by the republicans. we think the experience that he is hanging on needs to be skrutinized. and exploited and destroyed. thank you. u.s. congresswoman from florida and the chair of the democratic national committee. back to you. thank you chris and congresswoman. tom brocaw is with us from new york. tom, it s great to have you with us. the americans are looking at the results and what should americans know about what the results mean both for republican party politics and for what happens next? there fundamentals for tonight. both in iowa and especially in new hampshire, the voters in new hampshire are able to go in with the sanctity of a voting booth, it appears they were making judgments on electability and who is best able to do something about the economy.
