[applause] so when i look at all of you here and reflect back on this road that we have traveled since we started this program at san francisco general in 1983, i don't see so much individual acts of heroism, but people who demanded and then were given the opportunity and the resources to do as has been said earlier, the right thing through the power of collective action. together with our san francisco city mothers and fathers, the leadership of the health department at san francisco general, some of whom are here today, ucsf, and most importantly, our alliance with our patients, including those

dion has been in iowa, and he predicts there could be a big surprise for the caucus. he joins me later. ♪ you, you ain't alone ♪ and just let me be [ male announcer ] this is your moment. ♪ your ticket home ♪ [ male announcer ] this is zales, the diamond store. >>> about $40 less every paycheck. now, if you're living in john boehner's congressional district, that's about a tank of gas. think about what $40 means to you. that's what the white house has asked people to do via twitter.

dion, senior fellow at the brookings institution and columnist for the "washington post" and friend ofne. e.j., good to have you with us tonight. >> thank you. >> happy holidays. how come it was the right thing to do today but not the right thing to do yesterday for john boehner? what happened here? >> because i think he added up all of the things other republicans were saying. you know, we got so accustomed to the newspaper headline "democrats in disarray." it was almost programmed into the computers. i don't think we've ever seen since president obama took office the kind of disarray you saw in the republican party. the senate republicans did one thing. they thought the house was on board. the house sabotaged that. senate republicans say, well, wait a minute, boehner never told us that this was going to have that sort of problem. boehner himself signaled that he actually accepted this deal and then got pushed back by some of his own right-wing members. and i think what's going on in the republican caucus in the house is not just some of the younger members. indeed, a few of them said
