metaphor. according to one report the campaign hopes that she will soften your image. true? i think that is true. i will think it is also that she is very attractive and very smart and effective. has a speech in american exceptionalism that is a remarkable speech and she is enjoying it. took her are awhile to get into the rhythm of being out there on her own but she is having a great time and gave a great talk yesterday in atlanta and i m proud of her. how is your golf game? really bad. and i bet with this campaign getting worse. exactly right. chris: we will see you on the campaign trail, sir. up next, congress extends the payroll tax holiday but are they now done legislating for the rest of this election year? we ll ask house majority leader eric cantor when we come right back.
tough, talking about cutting a billion dollars in aid? i m talking about the real prospect that in egypt does not demonstrate that this sees things in the way that we do in terms of the promotion of freedom, human progress and the protection of minority rights that there will be repercussions on capitol hill, there is no question about it. chris: cutting off aid? that discussion is alive, chris. i m not going to say right how to because we will have to get into the details of what the commitments of the egyptian government is going to be. let s not mistake the fact you have a very radical shift in egypt right now going on in terms of a government that could be maybe not as friendly to u.s. interests. chris: democratic congressman maxine waters had some choice words for you you this week. take a look. i saw pictures of boehner and cantor on our screens. these are demons! these are legislators who are
crowd there and there had been a lot of talk he is going to make major economic announcement and new policy. i m told no, he is not. thatle be a huge disappointment for a lot of people looking at him and he may want to rethink that. it will take something big like that to ignite the conservative base around him. usually the romney comes in and wins is starts carpet bombing h his main opponent. there will be a lot of money coming at santorum. chris: don t you think there is a possibility because he has done that so much that that is beginning to blow back on h him? no, maybe it will. he doesn t really have any other choice unless he really thinks he will wen this. not just come interesting there. newt gingrich primary funder basically said i will give him more money to make sure that romney isn t the person. they want to support gingrich to pull more votes and divide the field more because they want no romney. i think that, you know, yes,
republicans gave up on all their objections and passed the payroll tax cut extension. i see what both karl and what both of these men are saying is that essentially depending on the poll that you look at you see a lot of different things. look at the fox news battleground poll you see obama doing better just from a couple of weeks ago, previously swing state polls were showing obama losing because he wasn t doing well with independents. a lot of that is because of what is going on in the primary which is right now you have santorum at the front which is somebody who really alienates a lot of independents and even romney was really being hurt by the fight with gingrich being so negative scaring off independents. right now they are in a great position and if they can keep this message going on with this fight over contraception and the other issues around women i think the obama campaign sees this as a positive for them. chris: karl, the president submitted a budget this week that
rather than in washington being the chief executive of the united states. chris: do you you agree with that? i think it is unrealistic to think that this town is going to get anything done between now and november. they haven t been able to get a whole lot done, either side in the four years. november is going to decide this one way or another. and i think that i think they i wouldn t have said it, i wouldn t have telegraphed it the way the administration telegraphed it but i think it is unrealistic to think anything different is going to happen. chris: we have to take a break here. when we come back, where the wild republican campaign stands now and whether a late entry could still get into the race. our sunday group breaks it down. we know a place where tossing and turning have given way to sleeping. where sleepless nights yield to restful sleep. and lunesta can help you get there, like it has for so many people before. when taking lunesta, don t drive or operate machinery
