hopefully life brought you something better so you didn t have to monitor twitter all weekend, but i have to tell you this was extraordinary. the president went after the special counsel with literally well over a dozen tweets. he then said he could run the probe himself, which is just, to quote former attorney general mukasey, zany. and he now seems to really be dug in about ducking the interview. but, wow, does he seem freaked out. let s figure out why. let s get after it with former trump campaign manager corey lewandowski. welcome back to prime time. thank you, chris. great to be here. why so freaked out all of a sudden? well, look, i don t think it s freaked out. what i think it is, is the president and by and large the
repealing and replacing obama care since 2010. we ve campaigned on it in every election since. the principles that are in a lot of these have been public for a long time. hold on. you just rolled out the actual bill. it s gone through three committees two had unanimous republican support. i understand that. we re working through the process. this was something the president campaigned on, told the american people it would be a top priority. republicans who ran for the house and senate said it would be a top priority. something he talked about for seven years. to suggest we re rushing anything, i think we ve done this very very deliberately and very responsibly to make sure that people can read it. so, again, with all due respect to the folks who tackled this in the past, we actually put the bill online, let everyone in the entire world read it, didn t jam it through, to quote former speaker pelosi, who said if you want to read the bill, wait until we pass it. we let the entire worl

president. they were blaming the company. that s going to be a challenge for employers who see this as an opportunity to shift their costs on to the taxpayers. but the thing to understand here, and this is the reason why the president delayed the employer mandate, this thing is a train wreck. all those theoretical arguments we had about people paying more, losing their coverage, being forced to do something they didn t want to do is not theory anymore. and between now and november of 2014, people are going to lose the coverage they have. they are going to be forced to buy something they don t want. i think that s a real problem for anyone who supported obama care. shannon: do you think it will impact the 2014 interms. that s a philosophical argument do you believe the government should control your healthcare this is about economics. to quote former president clinton it s arithmetic this time. shannon: if anyone has a calculator out there. wall street journal piece anyone int
note following it. he said the bush tax cuts should be extended that republicans gleefully jumped on even though clinton was their favorite surrogate. extending all of the current tax rates for at least a year is really important. even bill clinton came out for it before he was against it. worry bill clinton s remarks and larry summers s remarks, it s obvious that the economy needs the certainty of the extension of the current tax rate. to quote former president clinton, they will have to put it off until early next year. president clinton gets it. bill clinton said temporarily extend them. a lot of times, most of them missed the word temporarily. the president turned the debate on romney last night. his basic idea is if those of
