theme, they being the obama people next year. i m wondering whether some folks are going to buy that. i don t think it helps the president and the democrats if this is going to be their theme to have it simultaneously articulated by a group of street protesters whose operations have been shut down by not at all conservative municipal officials because of squaller and silence. occupy wall street is a definitely debt minus for the democrats. if this is their net minus for the agenda. bill: i think the polls absolutely show that. but gussied up in a different way, the class warfare thing does resonate in some communities, there is no doubt about it in my opinion. now, the media research center is a conservative watchdog group. they did some very interesting studying of the morning shows. cbs, nbc, and abc they say that the morning presentations are still very pro-obama.

top i shall use if not the key issue in 2010. if unemployment is hovering around 9% or 10% in november, it doesn t look good for the democrats. i assume you agree. obviously we ve had some pretty positive economic news. i don t think any of us should expect to it drop dramatically between now and november. this will be a gradual decline. what is more important is how people view the economy. do they feel more optimistic? do they think not just in the short term but the long term in things like energy and education, are the democrats and the president really providing a good road map for our future. providing real leadership as opposed to playing politics. where does health care fit in? as a net plus or minus for democrats? i believe it is a net minus for democrats because it was such a divisive battle into 2009
light, ensuing scandal embarrassed even the members who got the deal and caused the president to disavow them. the deal with the special deal intact is what the house is asked to pass this week. the white house over the weekend decided though deals weren t so bad overall. now the house is contemplating slipping the bill through without a direct up-or-down vote on it. this is an election year. president is calling for courage. but he is not up for re-election this year. bret: what about this rule, and them saying it helps members who don t want to vote for the senate bill. i don t think it helps. whichever vote is passed that has the effect of passing the senate bill will be seen as vote on senate bill. i think the fact they re trying to find a way to sneak it through without up or down vote adds further notoriety to a bill scandal-plagued so far. my view is it s net minus and
