but the night of the state of the union address, it was ten days after gaby giffords was shot. >> righty's life, seats him next to michelle. he brings in the family of that little 9-year-old girl who wanted to see her congresswoman and got shot and killed. and then he doesn't mention gun control. the american people were ready. you say does it make a difference? well, sure. if we limited magazines to 11 shots, that assailant wouldn't have been able to kill and injury dozens of people that he did because that's common sense. the american people support that. the president should have called for it. people want strong leaders. and we're afraid of the gun lobby. and we're all terrorized by it. democrats as well. nobody wants to touch it. everyone says, well, the clinton congress lost because of the assault weapons ban. baloney. >> and to that point, governor, the policy landscape here keeps shifting. right? the assault weapons ban was passed, but it had a ten-year expiration. it has expired and not been renewed. the supreme court has ruled for the first time in american history that you ha

he had gaby giffords, osama bin laden, but essentially it was a straight track down until the summers coming back up. >> let me ask you, first of all, 46.5% given everything, pretty good numbers, i think. >> well, exactly. and just to segue to the next chart because one of the things i've enjoyed watching is who gets blamed for the economy. and interestingly, obama is only down here at 12%, the number one culprit is still bush, congress is still a culprit, wall street, and then a bunch of others. and so what is interesting, i think, about this is the american people have been able to make some disconnection between the state of the economy and the blame for the economy and not blamed obama. now, it's also true if you look at this poll back over time, it has moved against obama. if you go back to september of '10, that 12% was 5% and this 22% was 37%. so over time, people have started to shift the blame toward obama and the question will be a year from now who they're blaming. but now part of why he's at that approval rating with 8.6% unemployment is the fact that people recognize thi

we pushed a lot of people to do this after the gaby giffords shooting.better behaved congresses at the state of the union address. bipartisan seating, talk about it. >> it's much easier to demonize people if you don't know them or talk to them. this is a simple step and one done at the last state of the union. but it's just -- if you get to know the members of congress, evan bayh who was at this press conference yesterday to announce this reform, i think he was in the senate for 14 years and three times had meetings with members of the other party. that was stunning. and i don't think members now literally don't meet with other members at all. there used to be caucuses, monthly lunches, there's a series of steps here that would encourage members of the opposite party to meet on a regular basis with each other so they know each other. >> one final thing. harold and i working in congress for quite some time and we're deeply offended at this. >> uh-oh. >> make members come to work. what are you talking about? >> it's pretty radical. >> show up? >> you're ge
