i would ask dan, dan, you were in the obama administration. you had, in the first two years, 60 senators, democratic senators, you had a big majority in the house and you had barack obama as president. you didn t get this problem solved. so donald trump has been president for one year and now we have to shut down the government to get it done? hang on, dan, hang on, dan. i think that s interesting but that was the last administration. we re talking about now. no one no one is criticizing we ve been talking about this for 15 years under bush, under obama, and now they re saying if we don t get this done this week, we have to shut down. there are other administrations, even the obama administration, you re right, who didn t get it done. let s talk about getting it done now. what i m wondering about, did those other senators, lawmakers, come to that meeting to make sure the president didn t do the same thing again? i was going to ask that question of you, steven, but i ll ask it
