the gop was hell bent on winning this came of chicken tax cuts would end while unemployment was ending. they said the stimulus didn't work. people buy that. that is proveably not true. obama lost that message war. that's the one thing he is saying. white house aids were blunt we're going to have to give up on killing tax cuts for the rich. getting more for our people is more important than getting less for our people. any fight in december could

quite possibly only until a new congress came to town. he couldn't have gotten anything else done that he got done over don't ask don't tell. obama went after a deal. the package would extend the bush tax cut for two years extend the tax cuts for the wealthy. obama had won 238 of stimulus for yielding on 114 billion in high income tax cuts. he says clearly obama had gotten the better deal. the public had been seen this over tax cuts answered over that obama had not gotten what he

wanted. axelrod and other aids were not allowed to admit in public that the president had achieved a second stimulus. that's part of why the economy has gotten better and better and we've had all these months of job growth. corn finishes by saying what happened is not an indication that obama is likely to yield in a new faceoff but he will be assessing the dynamics in a new grid lock. that's not caving in, that's governing. much more as we continue on the "stephanie miller show." >> putting people out of work. >> stephanie: we need to get rid of all of them.

is the president's first election proposal to spur more economic growth. >> susan rice has just met with senator mccain. he said he has 50 unanswered questions about the september 11 attack on our consulate in benghazi. as we wait to find out if anything emerged from this meeting that rice had with the three senators, a new poll shows that a majority of the public does not think the obama administration is hiding anything when it comes to benghazi. 54% of people surveyed are not happy with how the administration handled its response to the attack but say it's not because they think there's any sort of cover up. most think the administration was simply conveying the best information it had at the time. and finally in lucky for us news, rick santorum is saying he is open to another run for president in 2016.

he tells the weekly standard there is a fight right now for the conservative soul of the republican party and he is not backing down. i say go ahead and run. we're back after the break. >>i jump out of my skin at people when i'm upset. they're doing this this corruption based on corruption based on corruption. >>that's an understatement, eliot.
