president obama doesn't want this to happen. no president would want this to happen on his or her watch. so he took the case, as he said he would, to the american people from the east room of the white house. and just over an hour ago, the president made it very clear that he is not on board with speaker boehner's plan. >> defaulting on our obligations is a reckless and irresponsible outcome to this debate. and republican leaders say that they agree we must avoid default. but the new approach that speaker boehner unveiled today, which would temporarily extend the debt ceiling in exchange for spending cuts, would force us to once again face the threat of default just six months from now. in other words, it doesn't solve the problem. first of all, a six-month extension of the debt ceiling might not be enough to avoid a credit downgrade and the higher interest rates that all americans would have to pay as a result. we know what we have to do to reduce our deficits. there's no point in putting the economy at risk by kicking the can

obama at the altar. this is after the speaker himself had said in the earlier round of negotiations that negotiating with obama is like negotiating with jell-o and, yet, he returned for a second yellow round i think republicans have to be extremely aware of optics now. two choices, accepting mcconnell which is simply a parachute out of this dilemma. punts everything until next year and the people will decide in the election. you raise the debt ceiling and nothing happens until election day. the other option is the one that i think steve has talked about. a plan according to what the republicans have wanted, cuts only and increase in the ceiling that matches the cuts. the reason they have to go short on this because if you are going to speak about 2.5 trillion in cuts. it's going to look unreasonable. you want to look reasonable because how the american people decide who is at fault will hinge on reasonableness. i would recommend a smaller raising the limits, say half a trillion so the cuts look reasonabl

and steve moore, is president obama a socialist? >> no, he's not a socialist, but everything he's done on the economy has had one underriding theme, and that is that he wants to radically redistribute income and that means taking money from the rich and from companies and giving it to lower income people and i think that's a philosophy that always fails and by the way, one other point. one reason, kim, that more companies don't speak out against these, the federal government is the biggest customer, to a lot of the companies. they worry if they complain they're going to lose a lot of business. >> the problem that they're experiencing now, though, stuart. they've now realized that without consumer demand picking up in this country. without people actually coming and buying their products, they're not going anywhere. and that is not going to be restored until people start having jobs, and those people are able to spend money and that's why they consider what president obama is doing as a weird political philosophy. >> james, last word
