>> greta: indeed. does the white house have a tin ear about this? he could leave the plan and go on vacation. i'm not taking his vacation away. does the white house think this is a cruel thing to do? >> absolutely not. the white house has to plan for all nine innings. they can't drop the plan and the president goes on vacation or else the plan dies as soon as it escapes his lips. nobody in the city is more eager for jobs than the white house because the president's reelection depends heavily on it. they are trying to ramp up to kickoff the fall, when congress comes back here's going to be the jobs plan and here's what we are going to fight over. >> greta: and point out that the people in the white house will wait until september like the two of us, they have jobs. sam, thank you. >> right now some key democrats are getting an earful during a town hall in detroit, maxine waters told a riled up crowd that the president is running out of time. >> the congressional black caucus loves the president too. we
