dee dee would know better than me. accept bad news. it will raise the question of how good president obama is at accepting that news and acting on it. i actually think josh raised the issue, though, if we re going to talk about climate change and that s what podesta want to do something on, what will the president allow the epa to do basically and will he go ahead and regulate carbon as a really important legacy item, something he can really leave behind, and according to everything he said before feel proud of, at potentially political cost. not for him. be squawking and jumping up and down and tearing their hair out. senator joe manchin is not going to be with the president. i feel like we are seeing a president obama who is, if not
eugene, only 2% of african-americans believe he s white. not a lot believe white people were shooting down the chimney with gifts to bear. not in my house. that s the general experience. i will end it on this, josh. 33% of democrats believe santa is no, is santa democrat or republican 3.3% say democrat, 20 republican, 40% are unsure. how can he not be democrat. obviously a democrat, spreading the wealth. racially ambiguous. a socialist. we have to leave it there, thank you to dee dee, josh, katty and eugene. that is all joy reid in tomorrow at noon eastern. happy holidays to everybody especially all my producers and their families and especially
