their views. i think that for an active duty officer to comment on issue like this is inappropriate. reporter: mullen says there s an opportunity to speak up internally. if that is not enough the chairman says there is another option. if there is either policy direction that someone in uniform disagrees with, and i ve said this before, the answer and you feel so strongly about it, the answer is, is not advocacy. it is in fact, to vote with your feet. reporter: in other words, resign. a source close to mixon says at the end of the day he s a soldier, respects the chain of command and the decisions made at the highest levels. bret: mike, thank you. we will tell you what former cuban leader castro has to say about health care reform. and president obama looked surprised when the vice president dropped the f
influence, the shutting them out of the world banking system is off the table now. and denying them access to international reward reports also off the table. what s left is essentially nothing of importance. bret: mara, the administration touts which china or russia make any movement towards signing on to something. they got on a conference call, the chinese did, and the administration put that out. but it doesn t appear that china and russia are moving towards tough sanctions. no. i think it s a danger to oversell these moves. because we have heard this at a number of junctures at this debate. they never quite pan out. look, the obama administration had experiment to see if it could try to engage iran and if iran didn t want to engage, at least it would show our allies that we were trying and that would help us build up more of a case to put the sanctions. okay, now we are at step two to try to get the sanctions. that s not working. i think what we re going to be left with is tak
year price tag of no more than 650 billion. candidate obama promised to pay by appealing bush tax cuts for the wealthy. law as for with it medicare and taxes. history they say written by the victors mr. obama took a lap with other presidents especially truman who asked congress for universal coverage in 1945. when came here three years ago i towed the story of when johnson stood with truman and signed medicare into law that wasn t perfect either. i m sure there was somebody who was dissatisfied with it at the time. reporter: two giants said they are bracing for combined costs to comply with the new law. the by says it closes a loophole that allow big firms to deduct drug coverage twice in washington republicans vowed to fight on. tax hikes, medicare cuts, job killing mandates, accounting gimmicks, backroom
deals, we re again into going to fight to repeal them. reporter: mr. obama appears ready president we they are going to run on a platform of repeal in november. you ve been hearing that and my attitude is, go for it! reporter: hmm, sounds like bring it on. vice president biden talking at a fundraiser with democrats last night explained the potential cost of not getting health care across the finish line he told them we would have been done, absolutely done. bret: the next big thing for the white house financial regulation reform? reporter: indeed coming up soon. the senate will work on it, the white house expects to have a bill it can sign before the midterm elections. bret: thank you. president obama did not get much of a buns from his health care reform victory. new poll taken after passage shows the president s approval at 45% to 46% disapproval. survey taken before the house vote was 46-49.
are killing the business of high tech companies like medtronics who have to end up laying off high tech with. not exactly a trade-off you want. irs agents in place of high tech workers. the main argument against this obama care is it s going to destroy our economy, all the numbers in it are phony. it s going to create a huge amount of debt. but all of that which is true really is going to have a visible effect in mid decade. not going to have an effect today. so i think and on the other side, the obama administration is going to be able to argued republicans have said that the sky is going to fall if this is enacted. it s still intact. bret: the president said as much today. i think the argument is going to be ideological and theoretical as it has been up to now between now and november and i think the results will be roughly the same because we re not going to see a lot of change
