krauthammer puts the bar that high, what do you think? >> it is hard to disagree with charles. a policy that swallowed a presidency. everything that the obama care looms over the president so and he's at a tipping point for his own key policy initiative. it is not just whether the website works or doesn't work, it is people are able to shop? can they keep the coverage and do they finally get better health care? right now obama care is on display and the american people are troubled. >> joe, just to be clear, krauthammer is not saying it is president obama's legacy. this would make people turn away from the american liberalism because it proves big government doesn't work. is he overstating it? >> i don't think he is in the sense of health care. democrats are trying to get health care since harry trumman called for it 70 years ago. so, if it does self destruct, there is no doubt it will set back a key liberal cause i am sure for a decade but it will impact. on the other hand, it works the opposite way, too if it works, the republicans will be on the wrong side of history like th

our own charles krauthammer had this advice for speaker boehner.e a listen. >> they have been shifting their demands every 12 hours. he will have to come up with something stronger than i want to have a talk with the president. you have a president arguing what looks like on principle. if you argue, i just want to have a talk, it looks weak and indecisive. unless republicans can agree, they will lose on this. >> katie, i feel for john boehner because he's dealing with a divided conference, but is charles right on some level? republicans have been all over the map with de-fund it, delay it, medical device tax and delay the individual mandate, entitlement reform. they've been all over the place. >> they've been all over the place but they have been specific what they're asking for, whether individual mandate delay and everything you just listed. not that republicans say we want to have a conversation, they offered and passed more than a dozen things to the house and kicked them over to the senate and where they've gone to die. that's where harry reid

charles krauthammer, both doctor by the way. >> i think obama care is in fact going to be the reason that we are going to pick up seats in the house, and we are not going to lose the senate. >> when the other guy is committing suicide, get out of the way. this could be a setback for the entitlement state and the liberal arrogant idea that could set them back for a decade, and they know it. which is why they are terrified. >> dr. dean -- did howard dean think that in 2010 which was an historic loss for the incumbent party after a major piece of legislation was passed? in 2010 the democrats lost more seats than any other party had lost in a first-year mid-term. i don't know what changes all of a sudden for him the calculation that we found out that the president told you something that is not true so now vote for them? >> they were saying in 2010 they were getting people to vote against them. obama and his people were completely outmaneuvered in 2010 which the tea party people who sent out a lot of misleading information. >> the tea party people who said don't believe the president who

joining us from washington, charles krauthammer. so, i don't think president obama is give in after syria. that's the problem. he can't give in or he looks even weaker than he looked a couple of weeks ago, right? >> is he not going to give in because this is going to give him political advantage. this is a lifeline for an administration that's drowning. his numbers are low. the administration is in disaway. humiliated abroad, economy stuck in the mud at home. he really has got nowhere to go. i think they have been hoping for a shutdown because obama then gets to go on the stage and to give all that stuff that you showed in your introduction. this is a law of the land. i'm upholding the law except for one thing. it's completely lawless. he unilaterally changed about 17 provisions in the law after it was passed. >> bill: that's right. >> you are not allowed to do that under our system. but then he says that the republicans are the ones who are being unreasonable because they want to amend another provision. and as you pointed out, oba
