group to deliver. we are keeping our promises. politico reported the president fired a warning shot the republicans if the bill fails saying this but i honestly think many of you will lose your seat in 2018 if you don t get this done. the republicans blowing remarks off as a joke. rob: did the president seal the deal before the big vote tomorrow? pete sessions and freedom caucus member ends utah senator mike lee weigh in on why republicans are still split. it really comes down to most of these members on the house side, the house side has an opportunity to look at are we getting a better bill and better position for the american people, and the answer is yes but i think there will be overwhelming evidence by that time that this is a better bill than we have today. there may not be a second shot at this opportunity.
the griddle as the heat went up his approval ratings went down. just as the majority of voters once seemed to think he could do no wrong, this year some acted as if he could do no right. it was enough to make even the presidential seal come unglued. we cannot sustain oops. was that my oh, goodness. the president seal falling off the podium. yeah, i don t know. maybe we spent money on other stuff and can t afford glue anymore. he hasn t convinced anybody that he s moved us or knows how to move us in a direction that is appropriate. unable to satisfy his own constituents from the left and certainly unable to find common ground with those on the right. i d say president obama had a bad season.
