in addition t that, they made the decision to ta on, to useheir capita, to spend if not alof it, a bigg unk of it not only with the big timus package w t big bailut packae to do health care a lge rather than a more contained version ofealth care. and i think they underestimated and then mispyed the republan oppositiono all of this. >> what would you add to that or subtract. >>i'm not sure it was inevitable >> you don't thi it is inevitable. >> no, he lost the independence, that i don't think he had to lose. if head taken a stimulus package of 00 billion instead of $787, i ink he would haveeld the independence, held a lot of republics. if he had taken a sort of a mor moderate version of health-carreform, i think he could haveeld on to there widened benefit pla i ink we have held on to some of those indendence. the major reason hes falli downnow, the secondaryeason is the onomy is still not, you know -- but the majo reason is health-care reform. his major domestic initiative unpopular. the slight majity of the american ople disapprove of it. and there's no si that at has let up. and so h
