when mitch was referencing -- it is interesting. i was elected mayor and one of the first stops i had was, literally, within 7 feet of where i am standing here today, but it was just dirt. that was the groundbreaking for this. here we are seven years later at the ribbon cutting. despite the delays, we are here. we are here as well in reference to what mitch was saying. a lot of it was not easy. the private commitments did not come in as expected. the money did not all materialize exactly as expected. but we call on someone who at the time could lead the way in terms of reconciling some of the concerns counties like san francisco had around their acute care facilities. we went to her many times to help us with san francisco general and to help us with laguna honda hospital. one of the big reasons we are here was the ingenious legislation that she appropriately and wisely introduced on behalf of not just this city but cities and counties large and small up and down the state, and allowed us to leverage federal dollars. it is appropria

but mitch mcconnell has the right to offer an amendment. if he does, if the republicans offer an amendment on the floor, then we will require them to vote on the individual protections in the bill that are very popular. and that even some of the new republican house members have said they support. so, in the end, their repeal bill is going to be so full of holes it looks like swiss cheese. let me give you some examples-- are republicans going to vote no on a provision to maintain the donut hole benefits so that seniors pay less for prescription drugs? are they going to vote against the ability of 21- to 26-year- olds to stay on their parents' they're new in the job market and often can't get it themselves. are they going to vote to repeal the mandatory... not the mandatory, but the free check- ups that seniors on medicare get which save billions of dollars in prevention. we all know early check-ups work. so i think, at the end of the day, their effort to repeal is not going to work at all. it shows something, bob. there are places we can wo

republican leader mitch mcconnell connell said he welcomes the president's attention to the issue. >> i'm all for the president changing his tune, but unless he has a time machine he can't change his record. and if we're going to make any real progress in the areas of spending, debt, and reining in government, the president will have to acknowledge that the policies of the past two years are not only largely to blame for the situation we find ourselves in but that unless we do something to reverse their ill effects, the road to recovery and prosperity will be a bumpy one. >> reporter: majority leader harry reid said upcoming debates over deficits raising the debt limit and health care should be based on facts not empty rhetoric. >> the american people voted in november for a divided legislative branch of government, a democratic senate, a republican house. they didn't elect houses led by competing political parties because they want us to compete. they did so because they want us to cooperate. we cannot cooperate without an honest debate. we cannot have an honest debate if we insist t

host: you talked about mitch daniels as well. guest: i made the case yesterday that i think he is running into trouble if he tries to run for president. he has not been gathering staff or making a huge number of public appearances. he is quietly biding his time. i think in this political era, you cannot really do that while you are simultaneously quietly talking to media. what happens, criticism and hot shots mount and you are not equipped with an infrastructure to respond. he made a comment last year, calling for a truce with conservatives, setting off a firestorm of criticism. he did not have an aggressive infrastructure to push back on that issue. there have been recent stories on his less than impressive record in indiana as compared to a very good record with the cato institute. when something like that happens, it politician has to respond or begin to shift the narrative. mitch daniels has been an excellent governor in indiana. he was not able to do so. i think the danger for him is the best staffers who get gobbled up by t
