and joins us live from the white house. i was surprised to hear what steve hild brand had to say. good morning. we ve heard this from pundits and outsiders but not somebody inside the obama inner circle. he came here to the white house yesterday to warn his colleagues without a big course correction he thinks democrats will take it on the chin in november. steve hildebrand has a stark warning for his old friend. there s a real shot we ll get slaughtered in election this fall if we aren t leading the efforts to reform washington. it s what we campaigned on in 06 and 08. reporter: he helped deliver iowa for the president.
