mr. president, your future does not look bright in christmas season. joining me with analysis on where the president stands now is the rnc chairman, michael steele who just announced this week he will seek another term in that position. mr. chairman, appreciate you being here. good to be back. sean: wall street skwurpb says this is the worst congress in modern history. i m not sure what to make of this omnibus in the senate. looks like this was good news this was the bill with 6,600 earmarks in it. eight billion dollars worth of earmarks. i want to send out a shout-out and applause and thanks to mitch mcconnell and leadership for drawing a bright line on the congress saying stop the spending. we don t need to do this now. the nation is tying to heal itself economically. let s keep these bush tax cuts in place.
