asking as to why but it's political this came down to deal making with senators such as john mccain lindsey graham where they would not get behind certain policies that the president wanted to push forward unless there were promises made that first of all kuantan and i would remain open that military commissions would continue so you know i'm not sure if you're asking what more there is is there some sort of you know deep dark secret i think that for the most part it's it's it's fear mongering and it's politically charged but what about there's notion that president obama you know when he made some of these promises did not have access to some of the intelligence did not have you know all the knowledge that he has now i mean could that have been more of a catalyst for changing admiring think it's all politics. i think it's a whole politics i don't think that the you know the intelligence first of all is suspect at least with you know some of the detainees we've seen some of these detainees assessment produce these are the documents that were released by wiki leaks earlier this year on the guantana

but republican senators john mccain and lindsey graham are already working on a plan to weasel out of today, jim cli born, a member of the super committee, said he's open to rolling back those cuts too. president obama is on the record on this. >> already some in congress are trying to undue these automatic spending cuts. my message to them is simple. no. i will veto any effort to get rid of those automatic spending cuts, domestic and defense spending. >> representative chris van hollen was a member of the super committee. he's "outfront" withous tonight. good to have you with us. we appreciate it. and let's cut straight to this issue of the sequestration, the defense cuts in particular. mccain and graham are open to rolling it back, jim clyburn are open to it. are you. >> >> i'm not. the president is absolutely right to threaten to veto of any effort to undue the sequestration because if you undo the $1.2 billion sequestration you immediately automatically increase the deficit by $1.2 trillion. that sends a terrible signal to people in the markets and other places around the world. a

republican senators john mccain and lindsey graham are trying to figure out a way to get everybody outthat was already passed and signed into law. they say they're writing legislation to prevent those automatic cuts from ever going into effect. same goes for congressman buck mckean, chairman of the armed services committee e in the house. however, it looks like he will have to get around house speaker john boehner. speaker boehner says he does feel bound by the automatic cuts because, quote, he says, it was part of the agreement. should also be noted that all of these guys are going to have to get around the president who had this to say about efforts to get out of this deficit deal, now that congress has decided they maybe don't like it. >> the question right now is whether we can reduce the deficit in a way that helps the economy grow, that operates with a scalpel, not with a hatchet. and if not, whether congress is willing to stick to the painful deal we made in august for the automatic cuts. already some in congress are trying to undo these automatic spending cuts. my message to th

. >> john mccain, lindsey graham, and joe liberman are on an increasingly shrinking island.e and more people that have looked at the united states after a decade of war -- and i will guarantee you any candidate, any candidate that talks of needing to get out of decade-long wars will be rewarded in republican primaries. you are isolated. your day is done when it comes to becoming a neo con. and you better tell mitt romney that, because if he keeps walking down that path, he loses big. >> the island you're talking about is being expanded. marco rubio is the next generation of that vision, kelly iote, senator kirk from illinois. the republican party sound a lot more like mccain, liberman, and lindsey graham than they do jon huntsman and ron paul. and theç nominee who wins -- t republican who wins this primary, the republican who wins this primary, i will bet will not be someone who is advocating jon huntsman's and ron paul's view on foreign policy. as much as the neo cons have been demonized -- >> i'm not -- >> the reality is they represent the most dominant force in republica

legislators like john mccain, lindsey graham saying they've already put the wheels in motion.ing. and the president is saying, look, i'm going to veto anything that tries to get around these cuts. so already a lot of tension building up. the white house also making the point that, look, these cuts don't go into effect until 2013. so there's still plenty of time to try to find the balanced approach to deficit reduction. what's interesting, craig, is that congress wrote this into law in the first place, now they're trying to write their way out of it. so we'll have to see what happens. but certainly when congress comes back, there'll be a lot of discussion and debate around this very topic. >> on a lighter, much happier note here, i understand the big white house christmas tree arrived this morning, is that right? >> it certainly did. a 19-foot tree arrived here earlier today. it will be housed in the blue room here at the white house. quite lovely. and it will be decorated by volunteers all across the country, and then the first lady is going to unveil it next wednesday to mili

jon: we have heard some criticism from senators like john mccain and lindsey graham of the president's pullout plans from iraq, essentially saying it is precipitous but by and large republicans have not made that a centerpiece of any criticisms of the president. is it because they feel that ultimately whether people like it or don't like it will not matter when they vote? >> no, i think it is because of the polls. the politicians read the polls. look, senator mccain and senator graham make some very good points. just because you're making some good arguments doesn't mean the people are with you. most of the polls i've seen about iraq more than 60% of the americans agree with the president's decision and much more importantly, if you look at the swing independents, they overwhelmingly approve of the withdrawal from iraq. so that is not a case you want to make during an election campaign. jon: all right, larry sabato, from the university of virginia. good to have you on. thanks, larry. >> thanks, jon. jenna: talking national security being a part of 2012 election as well. world leaders a

it's republican senators, john mccain and lindsey graham who want to rewrite the law ordering the swordats who want to protect the social programs to try to come up with a law that would protect those. we'd be back to square one. i think that the chances for that, i think that's even a bridge too far for this congress. this congress has done pretty much everything to avoid making the tough decisions. but doing away with a law that they already ratified in order to save them from making a tough decision, if they can go into meg tiff territory and approval, if they can go to minus, i think that would get them there. >> okay. eleanor clift from den vor rather than d.c. safe travels. >> thank you. >>> see you again soon. >> all righty. >>> there is no doubt a lot riding on this holiday shopping season for retailers. they probably like to hear a new rasmussen report says a quarter adults have started holiday shopping. 73% have yet to hit the stores. that's me. that's an early group out there saying they've finished their shopping. really? have they wrapped all those gifts yet too? who wants

we're hearing the same thing where we are, and we want to get out of afghanistan, but john mccain and lindsey grahamf we step out, we get hammered. >> correct. and they have used the argument that pulling out is showing weakness that it'll undermine american security, and they did it quite well for many years. what i find interesting, though, on capitol hill is if you talk to members of congress that actually have constituents throughout here fighting in these wars, they will tell you that the human toll now has taken such a terrible turn, and it keeps affecting individuals in the sense that they don't see what is the larger purpose for afghanistan. but on top of that, it's this idea of what exactly -- who exactly is fighting this war? and joe manchin, the senator from west virginia has taken the ground out of this is a rich man's war, but a poor man's fight. it's folks in washington with all of these grand ideas about how we're going to reconstruct a democracy or we're going to save ourselves from terrorism or all sorts of grand ideas and he takes it to the people with retail politics and say, why

areared and no deal for the $1.2 trillion in savings, automatic cuts -- host: that's john mccain and lindsey grahamng that. what do you think, mark zandi, does that change the playing field because they are talking about not letting the cuts go into place? talk about john kerry said on "meet the press," the economy could be affected by it. if we're not serious about cuts, we're not serious about cuts. guest: so this is not unexpected. this is what you'd expect. now that the committee has broken down and the automatic spending cuts will be coming, there will be efforts by congress to scale that back or at least reshuffle the spending cuts that are coming. this is -- so this is not unexpected. i do think it's important that if congress decides to scale back the cuts to defense spending that they figure out how to pay for it. so if we're not going to marek the cuts that we agreed to on defense, then we're going to have to come up with those cuts somewhere else. i think it's reasonable to say, you know, listen, these cuts to defense are too significant. we need a strong military. this is going to degra

trillion in savings, automatic spending cuts are supposed to take effect -- host: that is john mccain and lindsey graham who are doing that. what do think, mark zandi, does that change the playing field because they're talking about not letting the cuts go into place? it talks -- it touches on what senator kerrey was talking about yesterday, saying the economy could be affected by this. if we are not serious about cuts, we're not serious about cuts. guest: this is what you would expect. now that the committee has broken down and the automatic spending cuts are coming, there will be efforts by congress to scale that back or at least to reshuffle the spending cuts that are coming. so this is not unexpected. i do think it is important that if congress decides to scale back the cuts to defense spending, that they figure out how to pay for it. if we are not going to make the cuts that we agreed to on defense, then we're going to have to come up with those cuts somewhere else. i think it is reasonable to say, you know, listen, these cuts to defense are two significant. we need a strong military. this is going
