let me show you what mark penn said about the president's strategy, mark penn for those that don't remember was a strategist for the clintons. he writes in "the huffington post," barack obama is careening down the wrong path towards re-election. he should be claiming the vital center, not abandoning it. he should be holding down taxes, rather than raising them. he should be bringing the country together, rather than dividing it through class warfare. but then another clinton apostle, if i can use that term, jim carville says that obama had a good start yesterday. he says i think he fired his own negotiating philosophy which was a pretty good start. the white house is responding. this was a good start yesterday, and i want him to go through and make some other good starts. well, what do you think, david? who is right? >> well, if mark penn knew what the american voters wanted, we'd be talking about president hillary clinton today. so -- and, you know, can you say the same thing about james as well. it shows the divide within the democratic establishment, not the democratic party. i think the
