that and the president took full responsibility for this, and i love ross' writing, he's very melodramaticut a big difference between what happened today and the war in iraq is that there was no banner that said mission accomplished behind the president. >> in the days leading up to it, they said everything is ready to go, we've tested it and we're in good shape. >> but again, this president -- [ speaking simultaneously ] >> 20 million people did try to sign up. that is a huge surge. you're right. they absolutely should have been prepared for this. no question about it. democrats are as frustrated as everybody and the president was the one who said it today. there's nothing more frustrated than him. the fact of the matter is we have to look at the human element here. i don't think they're going to delay it. i don't think they should have delayed it. there are millions of people who are desperate for this kind of health care and who are getting it. then you juxtapose that with republicans who are obsessed with taking something away from 30 million people who need it and i think that's where

i held the ball and said melodramatically like on was on a tv show wants to shake it. i want to shape into a sword. imagine that ridiculous i sounded. imagine how ridiculous i sounded telling this to a complete stranger. i was a jackass. i told her how uncomfortable, came around large groups of people even people in the house and told me obviously your house has been penetrated, being penetrated all over again. after that when i was raising hell i would say i have to penetrate. do you understand? my house is being penetrated, give me a break. even when i was having a bad day, having heard tell me shut up, not saying anything, being quiet, talking in girlfriend's voice, has your house been penetrated? i shake my head yes and looked all people. ever i was done saying that, listening to a waterfall, went down her watch and tell she was bored but she didn't want to listen to sad stories and i didn't blame her and she wanted me to spend a day in isolation, a whole day and see how i felt and the day of isolation is exactly what she needs. i really think the day of isolation

in this case you make an exception because actually it's not melodramatic. any franchise i have seen in america. tied to that city. i would say there is more. he called me up for years saying hey -- i never heard mike say this. turn on your tv set. you are about to see something you have never seen before. that was that extraordinary saturday afternoon. ortiz rallied the city together. you can't explain it. >> what he did was unscripted and the fact that it had a cuss word is bossy. >> it contained an adjective. i heard so many people say afterwards that he said exactly what i was feeling. that's how i felt. i will flip it around. if the red sox lost this series, i think the other reaction would have been it is only a game. i think what happened on patriots day was a communal attack. i would say this is the biggest small city in america. >> it is. >> when the firefighters from engine seven arrived at that scene, everybody on that truck, you know this. every guy on that truck from the chauffeur down to the lieutenant down to shawn o'brien, a great firefighter
