And center in that krconversati as well. can the u.s. walk and chew gum at the same time? we ve got a lot of big domestic fish at home to fry but there s a lot on the front burner foreign policywise. can we do it all? absolutely. you have to do it all. number one the world is much smaller so you can t ignore the world. that s why i m encouraged more people are talking and you have more countries engaged. that s the way that you resolve some of our international issues. domestically, we had a big setback, i think, in the house this weekend when the republicans withdrew their continues resolution which says there s some hard times in the future in regards to whether or not they re going to shut down the government or not. and so we will be focusing on that. but we have to do both because they re both very important to us. let s talk specifically, though, about where we re going domestically because september 30th, october 1st, that date coming down the line with what we are doing in ....
It s supported by the majority of your caucus or majority of republicans, it s kid of a new feature in washington. you used to have leaders in congress who would compromise across the aisle, who would work with the other side and really get something done. that s really what boehner needs to do. if he s not running for speaker, if he isn t worried about what comes next in terms of his political speaker, then putting together a continuing resolution that both sides can agree on is just one way, i think, to keep the government open. getting both sides to agree. bill, explain how much of boehner s speakership is on the line here if he doesn t come up with a deal. well, it depends how you view on the line. there is a report that boehner might not run for speaker again in 2014 because he s so sick of this. he has to decide what he wants the legacy of his speakership to be. does he want his legacy to be the guy who couldn t keep the government open because they were so dysfunctional or a ....
And boehner s budget battle looking like he s asking anyone, anyone for ideas now. those are today s topics for our agenda panel. sebrina is a politics reporter with the huffington post, bill share is a senior writer at campaign for america s future. gang, it s great to have you all here. bill, let me start with you. as we look into rand paul and stumping on behalf of republican senatorial candidate in new jersey, this is the race cory booker is in and looks like he has a decisive lead. what does this say about what s going on in the party with rand paul showing up on christie s turf? he s showing christie up. this is bad news for christie. christie is already considered suspect by the rank in file republicans because he stood with president obama in the aftermath of hurricane sandy and didn t stump for mitt romney at the end of the 2012 campaign. now christie has been basically keeping his distance from lonigan because he s certificate ....
The gulf oil spill change her mind. a giant picture of a oil read, increase offshore drilling and production, offshore drill willing create jobs and increase energy supply without cost to the taxpayer. that s not an unusual message among republicans but this flyer came out right in the wake of all of this. should somebody have been trying to keep it out of the mail? yeah. yes. we ve seen polling, the recent poll that shows, you know, by and large, majority of americans support offshore drilling, even in the wake of bp. most of america, though, does not mean connecticut where obviously you have a public that s very concerned with its shoreline. so, i think, you know, positioning yourself in a republican primary, one thing she s got to win a wwf match on an oil rig. this was a foolish rookie mistake for them to do. but polls, as amy said a few moments ago, still support offshore drilling. bottom line connecticut? well, maybe with her base. ....
