charles: a prominent democrat turned on president obama. listen to what chuckchumer had to say about obamacare. roll the tape. >> we took their mandate and put all of our focus on the wrong problem. health care reform. charles: what he is saying to me, we went with obama's ego. the middle of the recession. something that did nothing for the job market. >> i have been saying this for a long time. think about all of the stupid things that obama did. i covered the financial crisis. we were in desperate shape. he tried to raise taxes. he did obamacare. he did dodd-frank. it's schizophrenic. it made no sense. charles: harry reid cut a deal with the gop. >> obama will say no to that. he understands the tide of the country is turning against him. this property is polling so far to the left. >> remember why he is wrong. it is not just obamacare. these guys came in and raise taxes. the democratic party, by the way, his friends on wall street have been warning him for years. it will not run forever. >> i think it is good news. we have been debating whether or not obama w

chuck hagel with inauspicious start at his senate confirmation hearing. there he is talking about iran policy. we are back with the panel. interestingly, charleswhen the president comes out today, at the exact same moment that he is with chuck hagel and vice president biden announcing this resignation, secretary kerry is across the world announcing that the deal with iran has fallen through. it is going to be pushed back delayed next year. >> what an amazing coin densz. there is no way they could have held on to hagel for another day or two. the reason is, they wanted a distraction from what is a complete failure. this extension. remember, 10 months ago we were told we were in the last ditch negotiation with iran. it would last six months, we would relax sanctions in order to encourage their cooperation, which, of course completely illogical. just the exact opposite. in six months, if we don't have a deal, if iran doesn't stop the program as we have demanded in six u.n. resolutions, then we will reimpose sanctions. the president said the sanctions are reversible. what happens at the end -- incident dentally, congress insists on passing a bill
