i don't have time to feel sorry for myself. i don't have time to complain. i'm going to press on. i expect all of you to march with me and press on. take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes, shake it off, stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying. we are going to press on. we've got work to do. >> welcome back to "morning joe." john meacham, steve rattner and michael steele are with us. >> michael steele, very exciting. we've got a guest here, special guest we're going to go to in a second. but i've got to get your input because i'm thinking of run day running for office. if i'm a politician and people are upset with me and they think i'm detached and i haven't done enough for them and i may have turned my back on them. is it a good idea or a bad idea to tell them to stop complaining?
