who says gridlock is bad? i am in favor of gridlock. it keeps the government out of my business. i like the previous caller's suggestion on referendum. when the constitution was passed, i can understand the power of the legislature. but today i think any law passed by the legislature should be turned into a referendum and voted on by all of us with on- line computers and free long- distance phone calls. let the people speak approval of what the congress passes or veto it. host: do you think enough people would get involved in the state conversation like that? caller: i do, on the issues they are passing now in congress, like spending, spending what they don't have. they're spending my money. the obamacare would never have passed in front of the american people when it was originally proposed and passed by a democratic house and executive branch. i think we have a runaway government that is in too much of my daily living and business. host: on twitter -- you can send us your tweet. in other news, we told you about the egyptian president, what the baltimore sun is calling as startl

what happened is gridlock and that gridlock from a partisan stand point but gridlock in the republican party. gridlock that said we are not going to take the farm bill because we can't get consent because the far right of the caucuses you aren't going to get any crop insurance. we don't believe in crop insurance. we don't believe in the farm bill. you have to have someone who will stand strong for the farm bill. the congressman talked about the study he had. at the last minute he saw a lot of flurry of activity. with talk about the discharge position. the discharge position you circulated, you got eight signatures from other republicans. i don't call that success and i don't think that is the path forward. we have to have a bipartisan farm bill. we have to have people who represent the state who believe it's important enough to sit on the ag committee. berg: ag has been a nonpartisan issue for all -- for years. republican democrats got together and we came up with an option that would have reduction in spending but everyone came together. the last few months, it's been more partisan an

david, let me ask you first. >> welcome to gridlock, america. because we have two competing views of how we should move forward in america. with the congress, especially with the difference between the fiscal conservatives and those that believe in more of a centralized, big government approach which is barack obama's core when it comes to his belief in the system. the states are what need to get involved in this. and they're not going to. so this president is going to have to reach across the aisle. the first two years he had congress. he had the senate. he had the house. he took one major initiative. >> when you said the president did not reach across the aisles the first time effectively? >> he didn't reach across effectively. on the other side there was no compromise from republicans on certain issues. >> what kept barack obama from becoming an effective governor if you will of the country was not his inability to get away from his own party. it was the inability of the republicans to acknowledge that this man was legitimately president and

i was thinking how similar when i see a marriage in gridlock.pass stored and counseled literally hundreds of marriages that were caught in gridlock, i would say you need to do the exact same things to break the gridlock in congress and the white hoe that you do in a marriage. first thing you do is, you decide you're going to stop fixing the blame and start fixing the problem. as long, you have only so much energy. as long as you invest energy in the blame, which basically what we did during the campaign, you spell blame, b-lame. and anytime you wasting time, not getting on problem. either fix the problem or fix the blame that is first thing you need to do. second thing you need to do is you need to abdon malicious motive accusations. in other words, there are republicans who are patriots and there are democrats who are patriots. and lot of campaign was more about the other guy is a jerk. that doesn't get you anywhere. blaming, labeling, only creates more hard feelings. only creates hurt. neil: that is why, you were going to host both the candida

it was a short-term way to describe this, there was a short-term gridlock. leading up to when cnn started projected that obama could keep the presidency. and we saw a big pop here around lunchtime that went from a third of 1% to up over 10%. not huge pop, but that was repeated pretty much everywhere. all these markets in japan and shanghai were down considerably more until we got news it looked to be the re-election. so the status quo as you say has been reestablished, but there's a huge but. this is the fiscal cliff, which was the big shout-out behind the election as far as the financial markets are concerned and will only become a bigger problem until it is actually dealt with by a divided congress. the fiscal cliff, of course, is where we get the automatic kicking in of tax rises and spending cuts, equally about $600 billion, which has the potential, if it actually happens, to knock the biggest economy back into recession. the initial relief was relief on uncertainty out of the way with the status quo maintained. >> why did they go up at all if they are g
