Everybody fellow americans and welcome to the full court press. Here we go on thursday, december 20. How about it. Four shopping days left until christmas. And lot to talk about because finally we see some action here in washington, d. C. I was there yesterday in the White House Briefing room when president obama announces a task force on guns. He put Vice President joe biden in charge. He gave them only one month to come up with a set of recommendations that he would then push through congress. And then he opened up the floor to questions and all the White House Press corps wanted to talk about was the fiscal cliff. Come on it just shows how out of it they are.
