what harryid said to get washington working and he said he is glad they changed it. >> republicans don'tk it is fair. and the president doesn't think his nominations whether it is it federal judgeships or executive nominations have been blocked. they are going to make their points, bill. but the president will come out and try to make the case and he's sitting around and waiting while the senate dithers on the nominations. and the republicans have their point to make. >> and quickly before the computer cuts us off. one more point. republicans said if it happens, this is a way for the white house to change the topic and focus from bullpen bum care, how much truth is that? >> reporter: there is truth to that. the president is struggling in defense on health care. and this lets him get more on offense. and a year or so from now. they could easily turn the rules back. that's why it is a dangerous move for democrats. >> thank you, we're waiting for word on president obama on the nuclear option today that was invoked in the senate today, we'll have more on this on the other side of the break.
