should convene leaders from both sides of the aisle. is this something you're hearing a lot on this. do people feel the president has not shown enough leadership here? >> i think what's going to happen today with these votes is pretty much a side show for a couple of reasons. both of them will fail. you talk to people what needs to be done, neither one of these spending reduction packages gets nowhere near actually bringing down deficit numbers. there may be some defections. republicans feel they might be able to hold all their folks in line. there's a lot of chatter about who will defect, why is mcconnell delaying the vote. there's a sense on the republican side while a lot of republicans, especially moderates are not crazy about the house bill they want to send a signal to the democrats that they are serious about cutting spending. so when this goes down i expect lot of press releases to come out from republicans saying i voted for the house bill, i don't like it but we have to send some type of a message.
