john avalon and my friend from cnn money. i appreciate you joining me. i hope it is better this time around. to you, john, sequester was supposed to be the poison pill. what about this time? >> that is right. every time we set out the self-imposed markers designed to scare congress, they have been managed to blow past it. the impulse to charge into the bayonette was a super fail. there are public polls, we have to do something. bottom line, this is not rocket science. this is a budget reconciliation committee. this used to be done. whether patty murray and paul ryan can get it together, that is what the country can focus on. >> there is no real last-minute deadline here. the december 13th date. >> there is one deadline. january 15th. if they fail, we see more sequester cuts in 2014. >> the congressional budget office. the number saying how many jobs could likely be created in the next year if we did not have sequester. what are they telling us? does it look like republicans and democrats are finding something to replace it with? >> the cbo has basically

john king is "outfront," john avalon, and of course, john king, we were talking earlier about what annt moment this is for this president. he has been compared many time by the kennedy family which i'll share in a moment, the kennedy family itself to jfk who has become a, an idealistic, sunny, lionized figure in american politics. in that speech, did he measure up in. >> he was very subdued in the speech which i thought was quite interesting. that's the tone he decided to strike because i think he is reflecting on the legacy of president kennedy even though this is a celebration of the medal of freedom winners tonight. he talk about being in the arena hour. jack kennedy could have lived a life of luxury. we all saw blossom in the big endorsement in 2008. being in the arena has its peaks and its valleys. president kennedy only serves two and a half years but he had some valleys. this president is in one right now. when you're in a valley, styles it helps make to step back and reflect on the peaks. >> a deep valley, some might say. i think it is interesting, you point out the subdued to

family and had developed such a good relationship with then senator hillary clinton, that's why john avalona surprising moment. but what this president misses at the moment. consider what he's doing. he's spending the first year of his second term defending the signature achievement of his first. all of his energy oxygen is going into fighting to protect the law that had passed, not add to his legacy by passing new laws. one of the people, the type of people he misses is somebody like ted kennedy who knew how to work with republicans, who also knew how to rally, would had so many legislative initiatives that were given up for lost and gone that someho revived themselves. that's the kind of advice and help and morale boost this president could use right now. >> just to add to that point. jfk needed an lbj as well. there is that contrast between the idealistic leader and the guy who could twist arms in the background and get things done that. together created the democrat party's heyday in the 1960s. barack obama is a more cerebral figure. he campaigned as this idealistic figure. sometimes yo

john avalon, let me get your analysis. the out lines of what the president wills going to say.was broken here first on cnn by dana bash, our chief congressional correspondent. what do you think? >> look, wolf, i think the president is trying to adjust to facts on the ground and a lot of conservatives who are slamming this pivot aren't exactly rooting for the law to work in the first place. you have a rollout, which has been disastrous. you have people getting kicked off the plans, contrary to the president's promise. it's reasonable for the president, not just in political damage control but a matter of providing a safety net, to make an adjustment on the ground, improve the current situation. let's be real, he was doing this because he was facing a rebellion of democrats in the senate and house, folks who want to grandfather the people in who are getting kicked off these plans. it is a pivot by the president but also a concession to reality. it's necessary to restore some kind of faith in this, as we go through the rocky period of rollout to try to address that. to ignore it,

senior political editor of the daily beast done avalon is joining us to talk more about this. look at the public perception, honesty and truthworthy taking a a hit. can we do anything to change that? >> look, first of all, these are brutal polls, this is the cost of the healthcare.gov scandal, going at the president's personal core tributes. he has been seen as someone who likes politics or not, all of a sudden when that constant campaign promise. if you locate your play, you can keep it. when all of a sudden that hard not health care plan isn't working as advertised. walk is as dysfunctioned as ever, those tributes are going down, is it impossible? no, absolutely not. he's still the president. people trying to say this is over for their own political purposes. this is a real sign. >> of course, you can do something to fix it. this is politics. how do you combine 50-plus percent say not trustworthy, they don't admire them. 50-plus percent. 70% say he's likable. >> that only exists with politics and family. >> to some extent the president is in your living. >> reporter: i do th

so retail groups like general growth properties, hospitality properties, avalon, sl green, one of thels that are still out there. they don't believe in the general idea of the correlation trade -- as rates go up, then you sell stocks off in general. a lot of people are arguing the taper's because -- if you taper because of the strong growth numbers, that the rate also still essentially stay at zero. a lot of them are pointing to the reversal today. they're not dramatically selling off the entire stock market. we've had a day and a half correction. there's the reversal there for the last two days for the s&p 500. people are noticing that. you'll notice financials are doing better. some people, i think incorrectly assumed the yield curve will steepen a little bit, so you can see some of the big regional banks moving to the upside today. ipos, it's been a huge week. this was the biggest week for ipos in several years. we're going to have two interesting ones next week. you both know them, extended stay america, this is the biggest owner/operator of north american branded hotels, and miff

cnn political analyst and executive editor of the daily beast, john avalon here with all the answers.rote a great article, a great piece in the daily beast, looking at, as we like to say, the cross-tabs going deep into the exit polls what are your big takeaways from last night? >> christie's win is monster. it cannot be underestimated that a republican won new jersey across the demographic divides and the fact that he won the latino vote outright. we're not talking about someone who bridged the gender gap, we're talking about someone who reversed it, against a woman. a strong showing by chris christie and that itself is a big memo to the gop. virginia, a lot closer than people expected. still in ken cuccinelli's loss, there's something historic. >> in your piece you write this is a revenge for rinos. you write extremism alienates, moderation matters. it was a close race in virginia. >> it was closer than expect. keep in mine for the last almost three decades virginia has always voted against the party of the president just elected. history would show that republicans would carry this.

now to talk more about it is cnn political analyst and executive editor of the daily beast, john avalon. the hypocrisy on both sides is noteworthy and startling as dana points out in her piece. harry reid was threatening this for a very long time. both sides have threatened it. why pull the trigger? why are democrats so frustrated. >> things are objectively worse than ever before when it comes to abuse of the filibuster. the key stat that the senate majority leader's office is putting out nearly half of all filibusters occurred under this president. this illustrates how much precedent has been blown up over the last, in particular, decade. filibusters out of control, nominations aren't going through, promises repeatedly broken, trust at an all-time low inside the institution. now harry reids switches his position and drops the nuclear option. it's an extraordinary situation. >> in a situation when you know it's about finding way to work with the other side, you do something you know will not do that. >> they are feeling they're essentially cutting their losses. this way they can get at
