goes well, opinions could change. it s not going to change until it is implemented. steven, you went to 49th street. hold the story up on 48th street. our msnbc colleague stephanie and i went to this littledown town belmont, outside of carolina, they intentionally use the phrase obamacare. what was interesting, there were people dead set against it. there were people for it, there were people that knew some things about it. but the vast, all of them the thing that ran through all of their comments, they didn t exactly know what obamacare did. they were confused by it. they didn t know what exactly the components were and that s what i think has been the problem all along. here s this great law that we all sort of know is going to help people will be very beneficial to people, but for the one can exactly explain why it s so important and what they get and what they get from it.
younger children, we will have better deposit problems. part of the problems with the opinions on obamacare and the gap between you noted the number of people who favor and oppose, also about equal percentages of americans oppose defunding the law, too. so you have this law enacted for four years where it hasn t been fully implemented. so people aren t able to see the potential benefits. now the flipside as you implement it. president obama is acknowledging there will be glitches. everyone s glitches will be played up. but the point is that you have this law and you have been messaging on it for a number of years and the people who stand to benefit from it, the uninsured potentially the ones making less than $50,000, those constituencies actually oppose, don t view obamacare favorably. you could reason if you were to rom it out and implement and it
maybe a little ann richards thing here. it may be interesting to note, anne s daughter, cecil richards now runs planned parenthood. we will see this turn no a fascial race. will you see a lot of money pouring in. i gave money to wendy davis, i ll say right here, rather than buying the shoes, i gave money to her. you know, i think i.t. might take us a step towards turning texas purple. it will be interesting to watch. wendy davis is an amazing magnetic personality and i look forward to seeing it. let s also remember, she did another filibuster. it was on behalf of education. so she really does come with a populist record. not to diminish women s rights, it s not merely. it really is. it wasn t a one off. the filibuster, too, as a way of sort of building, getting a message out, that is what we will talk about tomorrow, so we will get to that in tomorrow s

watch c-span, it was almost must-see tv. we had 600 if you re a really boring guy. i haven t watched it in years and i found it fascinating. we didn t know what would happen on any of these given 600 amendments. at least the process has begun where we re shedding light of weird things in the budget. we were funding studies on yoga. not that i have anything against yoga. but we have to have a messy conversation when will we have a messy conversation about the items that matter? social security. raising the retirement age, which the speaker already said needs to be done. virginia senator warner and senator chambliss talking about working on entitlements. if you re worried about a big partisan fight over it, look at what s happening out in the states, and you realize that politicians are going to have to put their life on the line to
