It is a museum. It is obviously a residence. It is a park, a president s park, and it is a work place. And all of those combined, for the first lady, as opportunities for her. And also some hazards. As they live their lives their lives in the white house. It is a place for children. It is a place to raise a family. With a first lady with no compensation for what she does, its difficult to say exactly what her role is. We will talk about this.

But that was about a real disagreement. Slavery. It was regional, it was economic, it was historical. It was, after all we came to know, moral. This is a over a law the congress passed, that the Supreme Court of the United States declared constitutional. Its isnt a sign of weakness for boehner to say when he gets up in the morning were going back to the original system . Sorry crazies, were going to go back to the law and move on. Jonathan martin, youre chuckling, but its so sad. Its so sad because all he has to do is say regular order, ladies and gentlemen, were going to do what weve always done. Enforce a law we wrote and the president signed. And he would probably invite a challenge to his speakership if he was to do that. I think the more likely scenario, chris, at this point given were a few days into th
