recently amy walter came back. she's our national editor, and she came back to us from abc news and the hotline. then we have two young people on board. lauren fulton runs the web site. ashton barry runs everything else. there is so much younger -- i turn 60 later this year. there is so much younger talent in the place that i can see this thing going on, you know, even after i start slowing down. i think i have to go full tilt through one more mings election, and then soort of, you know, kind of gradually downshift a little bit for a while longer. >> what has happened to your interest in politics since you started all this? >> i still like politics a lot. but i have to tell you, by the time i get to december of an election year -- heck, by the time i get to december of an odd-numbered year, i'm kind of here. i have to go into a month or so where, you know, where i try not to think about it at all. but a lot of what is said about washington, it is true. and two friends of mine -- my friend wrote kind of an indictmen

amy is great. ed for glen t host ivel on "washington weekly." we're very excited to have her back. >> a little down on the first page, he says "the mid-term elections are two weeks away. but the powerful cannot wait that long to learn of the outcome. and they call in cook who for a e of $5,000 to $0,000 -- $20,000 gives his audience an early return. that's in 2006. first, leading authorities, one of your bookers, has this video on their web site of you. >> a legacy. >> and this is where i kind of get fairly critical of the romney campaign, because i think they have made a major, major strategic decision. they sort of -- remember, romney kind of won the republican nomination very tactically. he basically raised more money than his opponents. he out-organized them, out maneuvered them, and let's face it, in some cases, we're talking migits.group of i mean, this was not an impressive group of people. they came out with this over confidence. the thing about it is, they have never told his story. >> migits? >> well, there was a certain -- i how eleme

i want to get to amy. but steely resolve.en, from two years ago, assad must go to i'm going to order a strike, and then we're going to congress, and then, wait, congress, how about this process? amy, what does this mean for the president? i'm sure you disagree with steely resolve, but, also, president putin. >> you know, i like my theater on broadway, not in foreign policy. i laughed, i cried, it was better than "cats." what we've been watching unfolding here has been a debacle from start to finish. what this means for president obama is, as maria said, is a way out, a way out of a mess of his own creation. vladimir putin has outmaneuvered him very expertly. he even took a victory lap in "the new york times" this week to lecture us about democracy and not threatening force and military strikes around the world, which is something actually vladimir putin has engaged in himself. basically, this is a reprieve for the president. what this means is it kicks the ball -- it kicks the can down the road. six months from now, we won't

thank you very much, amy.had, you're up. 30 seconds on the clock. >> maria, just watch the winds of congress. you'll continue to see that they'll gain support for syrian strike. that should move the market. also, you have two fed governors speaking tomorrow. any type of indication for a fed tapering may throw a wet blanket on market speculators, as well as auto sales are coming out tomorrow. you should see a better than expected number, as the u.s. economy continues to improve. >> all right. we will leave it there. thank you to you both. we'll be watching. we had sort of a slow market day today, although volume did pick up at the end of the day. we'll take a short break and talk about irony. will proposed military action in syria ease the white house budget's wrangling with congress, because he'll be forced to make deals to get the votes on syria? president obama's former budget chief peter orszag is with me next. stay with us. thank you orville and wilbur... ...amelia... neil and buzz: for teaching us that yo

. >> our apologies for audio program with amy hollyfield. we will go back to amy but, first, we go to pictures of what is going on. you can see the hotspots burning right there at 1,500 acres. when the sun comes up firefighters will try to do battle and only 10 percent containment so a tough battle head with today's weather. >> mike had a good view of the fire driving in and you are describing how it wrapped around the south side. walked outside and there was the on glow of the fire as it mid from the eastern side to the south side and it was spreading both ways, spreading up toward the observatory and spreading down into the valley behind blackhawk near the fault lane that runs back there so the folks in blackhawk that live in the deepest part toward the back, i would imagine they are starting to get nervous and a lot of the vegetation up there with the oil in it that burns so much, there is a lot of it up there in that area and that could go up quickly. you can see the environmental wins are light and no wind in concord and livermore but w

we are going to jump away again, and in addition to amy kremer and jason johnson, i want to bring inh insurance company executive. the reason we want to bring in mr. potter right now is we heard two very starkly different things on the floor of the house, right? eric cantor says that passing obama care would just destroy the economy. nancy pelosi said exactly the opposite. she said, mr. potter, that getting rid of obama care would add to the deficit. who's right? >> you know, carol, i think that i was a newspaper reporter before i was a health care insurance executive and i have never seen anything quite like this. what i think is really going on is that people are getting sick and tired of the same old political arguments. they are really wanting to know at this point what is actually in the law and how it will affect them and what they're most concerned about is whether they will have affordable care that's there for them when they need that. more and more americans are beginning to realize that actually obama care is delivering on that promise. so i think what we're seeing is just
