confirmed in the past. the president responded by saying we ll provide more lethal aid to the rebels. that s been a slow and so far not meaningful response, according to the people in the region. the same thing in egypt, right? what s the consequence if the government goes out and kills hundreds of protesters if there s not a response? what critics will say, that emboldens the general cc in cairo. president assad in damascus to take even harsher actions. all that is balanced against what you are talking about, the president s desire to pull back from the region to be less of the world s policeman, not get involved in other people s civil wars. these are tough and difficult choices. i want to talk about because you have spent time with the man and i think understand him in a way that none of us do, i feel like as a compassionate person and someone who is truly a global citizen, though he was born in the united states of america, i think part of me wonders how much this weighs on him
voters come out who are young, who are multicultural the obama base. and off-year elections, where the republican base can influence who runs and who turns out to vote for them, you ll get more and more conservative legislatures. there has to come a point where the two sides clash. there has to. i don t know how it s going to happen but it will probably happen in an off-year election. i would say, john, the wrath of legislation that s gone through the north carolina statehouse, the curbing of reproductive rights, the worst voter suppression laws in the country, that s a good way to get them to the polls. if they re allowed to vote. go ahead. what the other problem will be now that they re pushing their primary up to right after south carolina, that will move the entire gop primary way to the right. yes. you ll have republican
right. as they ve accepted whole hog obama care or parts of it, they refuse to admit that s what they re doing. jan brewer said while i remain opposed to the affordable care act, it s become increasingly clear to me that the status quo is not an action. with my medicaid restoration plan we can continue providing cost effective care to these individuals, arizona s working poor. amazing, it s jan brewer s program. god bless her. that means there are people in arizona that will get health care that wouldn t have gotten it otherwise. and they are people who really need it. it was a smart thing for her to do. she had to find a way to do it to nullify her constituency. she couldn t say it was barack obama s. she eats scorpions for breakfast. i wish more governors would do this, stop calling it obama care, call it heritage care. i don t care.
the word this linked it to a community first choice program, a program in medicaid to help people who are disabled get care at home db at home instead of being put into a nursing home or an outside institution. this is one of the things in obama care is a very big deal for the affected population. noonan was upset about some edge case with someone whose guardian as a caregiver and it turned out there s nothing there. this is precisely the program, the community first choice program that perry is endorsing and trying to sign texas up for. to give perry a little bit of credit here, this is not a core program of the obama care coverage provision. it s something else obama care is doing. if you repealed the law which perry said over and over he would like to do, you would repeal this program, too. in that way there is an incredible deficit of understanding among a lot of republicans in general, a lot of republican governors of what actually is in this bill. you re being kind when you s
time. eugene, because you re from the carolinas, i would go to you otherwise. north carolina does have a history as al hunt writes in bloomberg, north carolina produced a much envied system of higher education and community colleges, good race relations, a desirable quality of life and healthy business business. the model which served the region and country so well is gone. thank you, governor mccrory. it s one of those states that i think has both become more conservative and more liberal or progressive over time. and more polarized. yes. and so this may be the way north carolina goes. it may swing wildly from progressivism to this sort of
