we are joined by fox news political analyst and david mercer for the dnc.nd silvia burwell should be a shoo-in but it appears she is receiving opposition from senators cruz and lee. are they right to be asking her these types of questions. >> yes, they are right to ask those questions. because they are representing their constituency. you have a lot of tea partiers that are conservative and they want to know about abortion issues. she committed to tell congress about it, and yes, she should answer those questions. >> and they want to ask her about obama care and to that end, is this something that could be an impediment to her getting confirmation? >> i think she's so very qualified, as we saw in the confirmation vote for her to be the director of the omb. it was 96 senators to zero that voted for her confirmation. it is hard to believe that one, she's not going to address questions posed by senators, which is custom to do so. she will respond. and we will hear answers from her and see her confirmation, i think before the end of the month, given her qualifi

let's discuss it with angela and former deputy national finance director david mercer. great to see you both. david, this is coming from a group who has been very supportive and has spent millions of dollars towards promoting obama care. but now the study seems to say, you know, they and their other employers think the mandate for them is not such a good idea. >> well, i think they're projecting into the future, and they're trying to give a hypothetical of what could happen, but as we see with eight million plus enrolled in the exchanges, we see job growth, as we saw this past month. we see walmart going from moving 35,000 part time employees to full time employees so they can in fact provide health care insurance. so i take heart to heart what the woodson report says in that they have confidence in the business community providing health care to their employees, and therefore, they're not going to have to suffer the penalties. the penalties are there and on the books, but most will not suffer them because they're going to make sure that their employees have health care
