and the brain trust is back. we want on t introduce all of t again. it takes too much time. you know them. many americans including president obama will sit down thursday to enjoy a hearty thanksgiving dinner. football, perhaps. maybe wine, beer, whatever you people do on thanksgiving. no one s here to judge you. it s been an up and down few weeks for the president. that s undeniable. we asked the brain trust, what does president obama have to be thankful for? i ll start with perry bacon in washington, d.c. what s the good word? what i said was the democratic governors help obama care. i mean that in two ways. the health care law, data coming out about them, what you re seeing more and more is the states with democratic governor to enroll people and make the program work. there was data last month that shows more people enrolled in plans in kentucky than in texas. that s important. texas is a huge state.

you would be competing over who s saving families more. instead you see the same approach from republicans, we have no ideas except what to be against. they could be competing right now. what if the best idea is to say no? you were talking about federalism. part of federalism is the right of exit. we re not going to do that. we re going to set minimum requirements for insurance at a different level than you would, california versus texas. there we have natural experiments. they offer different level of services, different levels of taxes, different levels of regulation. let people choose. don t pretend that obama care which forces this top down mandate all across the board everywhere in the country and taxes people if that s federalism? no. we don t want to race to the bottom on certain things. but there is a lot of room for competition and flexibility. a lot of room for republican governors for taking a creative approach on this. a few of them are, partly the irony here is a lot o
