unpopular things across this country, shutting down the government. i think mitch did a very good job of showing good leadership in the last several days when he came out and said, in the press, i m going on vote for cloture on the limiting debate. he didn t have to do that. if he was totally worried about a primary race, he might have gone a different direction. but it s leadership. that s what this is all about. and i think that s what he showed there. i think that s what you re going to see during the next 72 to a week 72 hours to an hour to the next week. let me forecast even ahead to the debt ceiling. do you think it was a smart strategy, senator casey, for president obama to come out early and say, he s not going on negotiate on this. and before anyone can walk in the room he has closed the door. look, the problem here with playing games, with defaulting,
outside of the crisis. we re going to talk about that more. ted cruz just wasted the last day, which means republicans are getting closer to a huge problem. senator chambliss, i want to know what you re going to do about it. so that s next. just by talking to a helmet. it grabbed the patient s record before we even picked him up. it found out the doctor we needed was at st. anne s. wiggle your toes. [ driver ] and it got his okay on treatment from miles away. it even pulled strings with the stoplights. my ambulance talks with smoke alarms and pilots and stadiums. but, of course, it s a good listener too. [ female announcer ] today cisco is connecting the internet of everything. so everything works like never before.
and obviously saxby s hole in 1 on 11 was perfect. it was a great day. boom. candidly it was a lot of fun. if you re going to lecture the president shouldn t you really check if there is a boycott of gop golf? and more importantly, this quality of time complaint does reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of politics today and what s happened to the republican party. there are hazards to progress in washington, big ones. gerrymandered congressional districts are reducing competition and they enable politicians to pick their voters instead of voters picking politicians. and that has led to a far more polarized voting record in the house. democrats are a little more liberal than they were in the 60s. while republicans are far more conservative than they used to be. you can see right there the republicans breaking up in the right-hand corner away from the pack. and that s data from political scientist keith poole. then there s the money. 2012 was the most expensive election in american
five republicans to the white house for a movie screening with the stars of lincoln. and none accepted. on the invite list were speaker boehner and senators mcconnell, alexander coburn and snow. now, maybe movies just don t offer the bipartisan bonding of golf. well, it turns out the president has been doing that too. here s obama and boehner back in the summer of 2011. doesn t that look nice? and here he is with republican senators corker and chambliss on the links just three months ago. here s the president and senator corker talking about something with putters in the hand on the green. and here s senator corker talking about playing golf with president obama on tv. what did you learn about the president from his golf game and what did you learn about what he intends to do? well, you know, it was mostly golf. he was easy to be around, and candidly it was a lot of fun. and obviously saxby s hole in 1 on 11 was perfect. it was a great day. boom.
planning is taking place. we think that s where the activity is planned for. so, yes, these programs, even though they re controversial, this is a good indication of why they re so important. and this is the key part of the debate, senator durbin. it was the chairman of the judiciary committee, your colleague, senator leahy, who said wait a minute, i know the nsa tells us 54 plots in one way or another have been this wartded because of the program senator chambliss is referring to, he says that s a bit of an joef statement, and he said it in open testimony this week. listen. open testimony is section 215 to thwart or prevent 54 terrorist plots. not by any stretch can you get 54 terrorist plots. this program is not effective. it has to end. so far i m not convinced by what i ve seen. do you agree with that? we had a meeting in the white house, saxby and i attended it
