what we know is we can overcome the wall of vote suppression with a higher wave of vote registration. you ve got to invest, do the hard work and start now. speaking of which, one of your colleagues, republican state senator barry fleming in the other house has a bill to limit early voting. what do you think is going to happen with access to voting rights in georgia between now and election day? we re going to fight very hard to avoid any limitations. representative fleming s bill would limit municipal elections and not affect or 2014 elections. more importantly, i think we have to remember that we have 833,000 unregistered african-american, asian and latino voters. wow. that represents almost 32% of the total voter turnout from 2010. if we can register those voters, there s no trouble in picking up those seats. the other just to draw a fine point here, stacey, the president lost by 300,000 votes. exactly. governor diel won by 258,000
the senate will end its session. for a couple days, we talked about how rhetoric was dialed back, people sounded happier, they were speaking in more measured tones on both sides of the aisle. well, that all changed. the house gop have their conference meeting this morning. coming out of it, we heard from some house republicans that were very angry president obama rejected their plan that would raise the debt limit until november 22nd. listen to what one of the house members had to say, this is representative fleming. as you know, and you probably heard already, we met, apparently we re getting a bait and switch strategy from the white house. the president apparently was not negotiating in good faith. all he said is whatever you offer, i am not interested in it. he is hoping to cut a deal with the senate, which would i think be a terrible deal, to undermine
leaders primarily in the house got together and essentially plotted as the reporting goes to how they could, you know, grind the administration to a halt. i think a lot of the people who were elected, the tea party republicans elected in 2010, were ideologues whose mission was not to stop obama care but to dismantle government. you saw the other day the head of the congressional budget office said if we defaulted on our debt that would be catastrophic for the country and the response from representative fleming, one of the tea party guys in the house, was, why are we always listening to the xhis? they re not always to the economists, they re not always right. when you get to that point you have a big problem. and the truth of the matter is, the president has good relationships with individual members of the congress.
rationing that comes with obama care, it still goes out of business in 12 years if we don t radically change this. thank you very much, representative fleming for joining us this morning. we appreciate it. thank you, molly. and up next, an update on a story we ve been following closely. that school told to hold its graduation elsewhere can stay. it has to cover up some religious signs. remember this song? hey there delila what s it like in new york city the plain white t s are performing live on the plaza. it is the kickoff to our all american concert series. so stick around. proud to stand on our own proud to be homegrown a familiar face and a name you know
