we weren't out there screaming "moving the goalpost."s searching for something that would make it easier for his people to vote for it. we were searching for something at would make it easier for democrats to vote for it. and put balance in the package. obviously it w unacceptae to the president to real the affordable care act. it turned out to not be acceptable to the speaker to go higher in revenue. but what we learned was the speaker couldn't even go to his original offer. he couldn't... he would have called the president back and said "let's goor the orinal package, maybe a little lighter on entitlements." but he could don't that. i think he went back to his caucus-- and whether it was the tea party or the general atmosphere, it wasn't something he could sell. >> rose: characterize negotiations. probably the most interesting thing you've seen in your professional life? >> this was veryhallenging and difficult negotiation. >> rose: the clock was taking. >> the clock was ticking but it was also basically from the end of june from, like
