that comment did not sit well with conservatives, including me, and including eric boling who will join me in just a moment. first here's the governor correcting the record. >> well, i said i agreed with the dissent. the dissent made it very clear they felt it was unconstitutional, but the dissent lost. it's in the minority. so now the supreme court has spoken. while i agreed with the dissent, that's taken over by the fact that the majority of the courts said it's a tax and therefore it is a tax. they have spoken. there's no way around that. you can try and say you wish they would have decided it's a different way, but they didn't. they concluded it was a tax. that's what it is. the american people know that president obama has broken the pledge he made. he said he wouldn't raise taxes on middle income americans. >> clearly this is an issue that's not going away anytime soon. joining me in studio with analysis of this requesting debaton going debateare the coh" eric boling and kimberly guilfoyle. let's take a look at something president obama said just today. >> i believe that in americ

the president had a tax reform plan presented to him by the simpson-boles commission. he decided to punt and not take it. he has the plan, mitt romney has the same thing. but the devil is in details of tax reform. if you're going to lower the top rate, where are you going to get the money from in you're going to have to get rid of cherished deductions like home mortgage interest. so this is where it becomes a huge problem. i mean, i believe, and dana knows much more about this than i do, at some point when they look over the fiscal cliff and they're faced with $98 billion in budget cuts, which is going to come after the election, and expiration of tax cuts and all the rest, they're going to look at it, and they're going to say, we have to do something. but after the election. >> that's the key. that all is not going to happen. expiration date is the end of the year, which is two months after the election. that is key. the house is going to vote on this. the republicans are going to vote on this because they want tax reform. to end it where you started it, just to be cl
