it seems like a lot of democrats aren t particularly happy with what s in the boehner bill but a lot of republicans aren t particularly happy with it either. does that potentially make it a good thing? i think that with the time deadline we re facing so close that none of us are going to be completely happy with what goes through. i do think we have a common goal of raising the debl ceiling with significant cuts, dollar for dollar cuts. i think that basis is the same among democrats on the senate and republicans in the senate. so i think we have a basis to move forward, that a cut for cut debt ceiling lifting can go forward. but then we have the opportunity before the end of the year under the proposal that speaker boehner has put forward and also i think would be acceptable in the senate, to look at the long-term cuts necessary to make it better. jon: you re not running for

no agreement. nor is there an agreement on a house republican push for a much smaller plan made up of spending cuts alone. if all else fails, we may end up with an idea floated by the top senate republican, mitch mcconnell. we laid it out for you. three separate votes between now and the next elections to raise the nation s debt by $2.5 trillion, and there would be $1 trillion in spending cuts and a special congressional panel to shore up entitlements, and the up side supposedly for republicans is keeping the issue alive for another year and blaming the president, who, by the way, is not ruling it out. it s constructive to say if washington operates as usual and cannot get anything done, let s at least avert armageddon. that s i m glad that people are serious about the consequences of default. i want to bring in my colleagues from the white house. dan, to you first. the president says the negotiations have not been ugly, as some have claimed, and he still has hope for a
