cannot find and then maybe the people who are educated here who then go back home can can actually stay here. it s an immigration issue. and why that bill hasn t been voted on [ overlapping speakers ] l.z. what i m asking even if you don t agree with this do you think this is congress asserting their right to use the power of the purse? well congress certainly has the right to use the power of the purse. the problem is that there are certain areas i would think that the party that says this president isn t serious about security that this president isn t serious about patrolling the burden wouldn t pick the one department that handles those two issues. that s the reason they look like idiots. they re accusing them of not being serious. [ overlapping speakers ] l.z. tara, we are out of time. i ll let you guys keep talking about it on commercial break. we have a lot of other news to get to. i appreciate the discussion. it s an important one to have. thank you both. coming up ne
was a lie. powerful words from the new jersey star ledger editorial. jake tapper is here with us. jake, just when you think the story may be going away, all of a sudden it explodes. although i do share some of the caution that others have expressed here about this letter, not that this isn t serious, it certainly is, but it s carefully worded and what wildstein s lawyer is suggesting is that there exists evidence not that he has it but there exists evidence that christie knew of the lane closures during the lane closures, not afterwards. he said he learned about it afterwards. that is not the same thing as saying he knew that the lane closures were politically motivated or he knew that they were a vendetta or even that he remembered. it just says there is evidence that he knew about it and then in a separate part of this key paragraph it says that wildstein
we ve got, of course, the one-year obama care delay. we have tax reform, keystone pipeline, of course, blocking net neutrality. pretty much every quote/unquote jobs bill we have passed this year and last, aka corporate giveaways, means testing medicare, cfpb changes, tort reform, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. i feel like they re leaving something off this list. jay carney, you got any ideas? a birther bill to attach to it. the birther bill. that s what they forgot. i don t know how they could have overlooked questioning the president s place of birth in addition to everything else that they ve ever wanted. i mean, this isn t serious, is it? no, it s not. it s the romney economic agenda. it s basically saying agree to implement the economic agenda that we would have had if we had won the last election. in exchange for that, we ll cause the government not to
over. it s only about whether i m going to be humiliated in having a line crossed and doing nothing. steve, the administration has been accused of telegraphing tactical maneuvers here in advance. reuters quoted a military source today quote he does this all the time. all he, assad, has to do is watch the news what know what our tactics are. sure enough after that was reported the hill newspaper blog said today that assad is moving prisoners to military sites across the country that might potentially be targeted. human shields we are tag talking about. shiewrks human shields. major equipment has been moved out of military installations and people on the ground reporting this now for a couple of days. nobody should be surprised when we tell them what we re likely to hit and certainly what we re not going to hit that the assad regime responds exactly as they have responded. it s just one of several ways that suggest that this isn t serious. the way we are going about what we are likel
golf course, 20 hours in the air, plenty of time working out. now he races back to washington, you know, like the lone ranger on his horse silver in to save the day. this isn t serious. this is not a president that s serious about spending, is it? this is not about leadership. 1,337 days, harry reid hasn t pass add a budget. they have been in control the whole time. this fiscal cliff was predictable. we knew this was going to happen two years ago. and don t forget, these are the bush-obama tax cuts. all the president needs to do is actually propose some spending cuts. i think with geithner s admission that the debt ceiling will be burst through on december 31st clearly shows it s a problem. it s time to cut spending, not for now but future generations that have to pay this off.
