Suitorman, Senior Editor at reason magazine. Kasie, let me start with you. Weve already seen far right groups like Heritage Action criticize the plan, Club For Growth as well, freedom works, rand paul calling it obamacare light. You tweeted this a few hours ago. Here it is, it is still early so caveats apply but events of today suggest Gop Health Care bill is already on life support, if not Dead On Arrival. How can that be so early, kasie . Reporter well look, craig, this bill has run into extraordinary opposition just in the first handful of hours that it has been out in the public, and youre saying you tick through some of the groups that have come out and opposed this, the Heritage Action went so far as to say this doesnt repeal obamacare. That of course kind of the cardinal sin for a party that has spent the last however many years campaigning specifically on repealing obamacare. So the people who are to younger people and less generous to older people. There would be a cap so that

to younger people and less generous to older people. there would be a cap so that really high income people wouldn t be able to get access to it at all, but really the question here is what are republicans trying to do with this bill, and i m not sure they know, except to say we have a bill that has repealed and replaced obamacare, because it s really not clear who the constituency is for this legislation, and the fact that so many major conservative groups have already come out in opposition. heritage action, freedom works, americans for prosperity, this bill was supposed to unite the right which was really fractured about health care, going into this process. and they have united the right in opposition to the bill. one of the chief complaints, peter, as you know to obamacare, it was rammed down our throats so fast. no one had time to read it. it was 1200 pages, we couldn t get our heads around it. no cbo scoring, no public hearings, markup on the bill set for tomorrow.

i am not going to stand by and let the supreme court take away the right to vote from us. you cannot stand by. you cannot sit down. you got to stand up, speak up, speak out and get in the way. that was congressman john lewis speaking yesterday. just as fiery as he was 50 years ago on the steps of the licncol memorial. same spot from where he addressed the crowd. the brain trust is back. esther, bob, peter, thanks for coming back. esther, let me start with you. this wednesday president obama will be on the same steps addressing the nation on the same day that dr. king made that i have a dream speech. collin powell was on this morning and he was asked on face the nation if president obama should be more of an advocate for civil rights. take a listen to his response.

but it certainly is appropriate. he is, after all, the first african-american president of the united states. he is the symbol of the dream that martin luther king, jr. was describing 50 years ago. so it is appropriate, of course. the problem is for him, is that he is to use a cliche, following a great act, 50 years later. he is going to have his speech compared to martin luther king, jr. s immediately. and that is a tough comparison. and speech writers, peter, have already said, you know, it s not going to be anything like the i have a dream speech. we do know the president reached out to john lewis specifically to get insight into what it was like that day 50 years ago. what do you think that we will first of all, what do you think we will hear from president obama in what do you think we should hear from president obama wednesday? i think the best keys to what we will hear or might hear are the speeches that obama has given on race in the past and also his first book dreams
