. >> yes, i really think one of the big disappointments for him early in the year was olympia snowe,epublican senator from maine who obama just believed he was going to bring her on board and he couldn't. in this final push, it was a congressman from pennsylvania, outside of pittsburgh, jason altmire, who was showered with presidential attention. two parties at the white house. phone calls from the president. rahm emanuel talking to him. cabinet officials calling. and in the end altmire who knows a lot about health care and worked in the insurance industry just said it's not popular in my district. gwen: wow. >> and then congressman kasich came to another conclusion. >> yes, he did. >> dennis kucinich. gwen: kasich a former congressman. >> kucinich who is advocate of a single payer government system, very liberal, he had been in the white house for meetings, too. and wasn't budging. and then he had this ride aboard air force one in the presidential cabin. gwen: air norse one rides. -- air force one rides. >> it's a little bit of extra razzle-dazzle. but what he said and others have s

olympia snowe and susan collins win decisively in the democrat state with two republican senators now because they are weak but strong in the center. dick lugar wins the election overwhelmingly where only a few states the way rick santorum a conservative senator gets his but kicked semi j.d. hayworth. >> the strength is in the center it is there for everybody to see the we have been fed the dumb down version and they are so invested in telling everybody their way is the only way that franklyestroy it. >> let's go to the audience. >> i am from brooklyn. this is why we live in a prozac nation because of the confusion. i try to understand and i consider myself with bush at derangement syndrome i think i have that. >> three recovered? >> slightly. [laughter] i still don't like him but i fell into it. my question is this may be philosophical but if people think the country has shifted so far right in comparison to last 40 years, it looks like it ships back and forth record you think it has shifted so far to the right, a center-right is not the true center it is the center do see what i am

tomorrow we have portland, seattle, olympia, boston and denver. and we're continually adding new places. so if you have friends in other places, to some of the look on our website. find that some of the other places that we are going tour. . . >> thank you so much. [applause] this tour has been great largely because every rego we have a huge gathering this is a great example especially of the power to get people together and communities that care about these issues. we're getting great media we are thrilled about this today i was on the list of 35 best sellers of "the new york times" and rahall big gets better. that is not bad for a book about stop. [laughter] i am not actually going to read from the book but you can do that years of fd by a top paper coelho if you buy your book from local bookstore will cost $28 more than from amazon but it creates the jobs and keeps money in local communities and has a space to gather force base is like this but buying a book online while it is better than not buying it at all does not give the value to a commit

at one point last summer, or in september, i think harry reid had his 60 votes, he had olympia snowehad a trigger for the public option that the democrats wanted. i think at that point if he had just rammed that through instead of going back to a full public option, i think this would have been a done deal and it would have been over, quite frankly, and obama would have signed it last fall. so i think that was a real mistake. but i do think now, look. they really ought to vote up or down. i can understand it, i mean if our side, so to speak, gets beat, they get 217, 218 votes, fine. but if you do this subterfuge deem to pass thing, it is going to be a little bit like the election of 2000 where you get the supreme court of united states overruling the supreme court of florida or something like that, and this could leave a real rotten taste in people's mouths for a long, long time, because this is historic legislation. it is clear that a majority of the country doesn't want it. and i think to ram it through that way, i think, will do permanent damage to political relations in this city

not even from olympia snowe in the end which shocked me. >> okay. >> so i think that they're -- >> joanhim work with the republicans on education, on financial reform, and economic development or not? >> you know what, you know what, mark, actually not for the sake of working with republicans. i would like to see some republicans walk forward and work with him. i'd like to see scott brown make good on his campaign promises but not obama working with republicans just to do it. >> got to go. out of time, thank you, joan. thank you, mark. >>> up next, president obama holds not one, but two closed-door meetings with the israeli prime minister netanyahu. what's going on between bibi and barack? we'll find out in the thick of this biggest-ever diplomat fight between the two countries. can they get together and find common ground? tdd# 1-800-345-2550 tdd# 1-800-345-2550 to help with my investments. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 so where's that help when i need it? tdd# 1-800-345-2550 if i could change one thing... tdd# 1-800-345-2550 we'd all get a ton of great advice tdd# 1-800-345-2550 just for being

look how much flak olympia snowe gets from the right.ican national committee retreat recently they very narrowly defeated a resolution to reinstate purity tests for their members. and if they had that, ronald reagan wouldn't have made it. yeah. they are forcing moderates out from their own ranks. so -- >> as i am talking to you, we were -- someone sent in a comment earlier saying oh, i can't believe these guys are blaming it on the public. and what i'm getting from them is they're saying there's time for self-assessment for everyone, including them, omar. >> there's self-assessment to be made for sure -- >> but from the voter as well. that may be a tough pill to swallow for people who are watching or for some americans. >> well, i think the voters do have to take responsibility. and it's our job to go and vote for the people we think will advance the interests of the american people as a whole. so you know, come september and then come november we'll see what the american people say. and the independent voters are going to play a crucial

olympia snowe, susan collins and arlen specter. are you saying if you had been a senator, a republican senator in the u.s. senate, in 2009, you would have voted for the stimulus? >> yeah, that's pretty clear. i think it was the right thing to do at the time. you have to go back and remember what was happening at the economy. it was literally falling off the cliff. some of these, you know, ideas to try to prop up our economy frankly began under the bush administration, president bush. it was the tarp. they wanted to make sure the financial institutions did not collapse, that people didn't have to have fear and a run on the banks or something of that nature. when it came to the stimulus, it was money to help our economy. things have started to stabilize now and they're getting better in florida. >> chris: mr. rubio? >> i don't know how you define stability, having the highest unemployment in florida's history is certainly not stability, especially to the one out of ten floridians can't find a job. stimulus is a failure. we establishe

when he managed to get the vote of olympia snowe for his bill. those opportunities are out there right now, and being followed by, for example, senator lindsey graham of south carolina and the senator kerry on the issue of climate change. to me, those opportunities are not gone at all. and it is the way the senate operates. you do need to form some sort of bipartisan consensus to pass important legislation. >> i want to take the opportunity to ask the last question here of the panel. i think all of us, we talk about reconciliation but maybe we could ask the panelists to give us a preview of what we might see in the next several weeks or month or so of procedure dealing with the health care bill. what are the things you like to highlight, what are the likely, what's the likely course of the health care bill and what are the likely obstacles and will we do, what's your top pick on something that we should watching for that we might not be? >> i can go first, and you say that i think that the real challenge is going to be actually passing the senat

on february 23, 2010, senator olympia snowe stated [unintelligible] to go a bankrupt and shift their health-care costs to public programs such as medicaid. we know that maintaining the status quo will mean lost productivity and making families sector. i have some other colleagues who would like to share their stories with you. i yield to mr. bishop. >> i thank the congresswoman for yielding. let me associate myself with all of her remarks. let me make a couple quick points. reference was made to the fact that lifetime caps have been part of the industry. those caps were set in the 1970's at $1 million. for the most part, that limit remains the same. despite decades of increasing costs in terms of health care coverage and health care services, the lifetime cap remains in place. the fact that so many of our bankruptcies are associated with catastrophic illness i think tells a very compelling story. it tells the story that the tragedy of illness is compounded by the tragedy in insolvency given our current system. something we have an obligation to address. let me say i have a constituen

state is one of those four and a very unhappy governor, christine gregoire joins me on the phone from olympia. you're not happy your attorney general joined the suit. >> what he done is put the position of the state of washington and its people is to die health care reform in this state. a leaves behind small businesses and those are pre-existing conditions. those who are uninsured, young adults, those reason medicare. and it leaves behind my taxpayers who are paying for the uninsured today. to say that he represents the people of the state of washington i find fundamentally flawed. >> governor, most people realize the attorney general is elected separately from the governor and it can happen like in your state where they're from different parties. were you consulted regarding this lawsuit? >> i was not. i served three terms as attorney general in my state and by tradition the office always consults with the chief client and that client is the governor of the state. more often than not, when we're involved in public policy, with the speaker of the house and majority leader in the senate, no c

there has always been this hope among democrats that maybe they can entice the maine republican, olympia snowe, to come over. if they get one more republican maybe they do not have to use the reconciliation strategy. but i can't see -- as he mentioned themselves, how that would bring over republican votes and most of them are skeptical. most are expecting the reconciliation strategy. most are fully ready for it and hope to make the strategy itself and health care issue a referendum at the midterm election. host: where is house speaker nancy pelosi in all of this? guest: there is supportive of the president's efforts. she talked about how bipartisan he is, patient he has been and willing to listen to different ideas and willing to change the composition of the overhaul this late in the game. she, of course, has the challenge of lining of the requisite number of house votes to start this ball rolling. remember, it is a two-step process, where the house would have to clear the health care bill that the senate passed on christmas eve and then the house and senate would have to negotiate with

he got olympia snowe from the hill to vote him on the jobs bill. do you know why she did? >> why?lled her up and asked her to. >> he spent more time with her on the phone than -- >> i know that sounds silly, but the presidents that work are the presidents that know how to work the hill either through fear or through love or a combination of both. and this white house has not figured out -- forget the republicans! they haven't figured out how to deal with democrats. >> he has not dealt strongly with his own party. he has not dealt strongly with the washington system. he ran against it and it is costing him. it's also costing him with his banking people. same thing. with the stimulus bill. he could have got more and he should have got more. he has not taken on the institution that he came out of and that he wanted out of, because he knew it didn't work. >> i've got to say, professors don't do well running washington. i know firsthand newt gingrich and dick armey were great in the minority, they were great when they were running, you know, this sort of rebellion against washington an

committee, senator kent conrad and ranking republican member of the small business community senator olympia snowe mac. both senators conrad and snowe had a long history of working across the aisle to reach consensus. we also reached out to senator kennedy. had meetings with him. all the relevant ranking members together met with senator kennedy and how gracious he was and how much he wanted to work together. he wasn't trying to do this for ted kennedy. it was for people who needed health care. it was very touching. it ended up we had six groups of senators, three democrats and three republicans. we worked hard to forge a consensus. we rolled up our sleeves and plow through the issues and met 31 times for 63 hours over the course of four months. many have said we met too long. many have said i should have broken off my discussions with my colleagues. but i wanted to go the extra mile. i wanted to try it. wanted to bend over backwards. i wanted to do everything i could to reach a bipartisan consensus. why? because that is the right thing to do. that group of six senators came very close to an

let me ask you this -- >> well, look, this bill, joe, could not get the support of olympia snowe, fors sakes. every single republican in the house and senate went against him. it's define the differences between the two parties. politically it looks like a winner to me. with due respect, david frum is a neocon. es not a conservative. the thought that the republican party should have collaborated in this kind of takeover, that would have been fatal for the gop or anybody who got into it. >> there are a lot of democrats. i'll i just say, before we blame the tea party movement, which people like david frum like to do, blanche lincoln opposed it and joe lieberman was against it for the longest time. the democrats, president's biggest problems came from democrats. they had a 79% vote majority in the house of representatives. they this came down to the wire. i find it hard to believe that americans are going to see what happened as a huge rejection of the republican party as the republican party's waterloo. >> politico's mike allen, thank you very much. happy friday. >>> senator claire mcca
