richard wood agrees in theory, just not here. >> i'm a big national park service fan.to me personally. i think unfortunately all of us feel that way. >> reporter: the national park service says 280 million people visit the park system every year. their concern is if the picture out of washington is one of political disagreement, it's going to ruin this view for an awful lot of people. emily schmidt, cnn, mcclane, virginia. >>> all right, let's talk about what's going on with this forced mandatory budget cuts awaiting the president's return from florida today. joining us, cnn contributor ryan liga. this is totally made here in washington. >> totally made here in washington. this started in 2011 when the republicans and the white house could not agree to a grand bargain. and what they did is they decided they needed some incentive to get the long-term deficits under control. that incentive was a policy that everyone agreed was done. so they wrote this into law this would happen on new year's eve that just passed unless they did something smarter and better. unless they m

as as richard said, tomorrow's my last day as secretary of state and the wood is hard to predict what any day in this job will bring i know that tomorrow my heart will be very full. serving with the men and women of the state department and usaid has been a singular honor. and secretary kerry will find there is no more extraordinary group of people working anywhere in the world. so these last days have been bittersweet for me, but this opportunity that i have here before you gives me some time to reflect on the distance traveled and to take stock of what we have done and what is left to do. i think it's important as richard alluded in his opening comments, what we faced in january of 2009. two wars come to an economy in, traditional alliances fraying, are diplomatic standing damaged, and around the world people questioning america's commitments to core values and their ability to maintain our global leadership. that was my inbox on day one as your secretary of state. today conclave the world remains a dangerous and complicated place and of course we still face many difficult challenge

richard soccarides, ron brownstein. nice to have you all with us. how do you feel about president obama playing golf with tiger woods?onder if tiger played lefty. >> you might be saying where are the photos of said golf outing? there are none. the two men met back in 2009. they vowed to play a round of golf. just a month before the sex scandal broke. the first lady decided to take the first daughters skiing in colorado. >> she was away. the president hit the links in palm city, florida. houston astros owner jim crane as well and the outgoing u.s. trade rep ron kirk joining the foursome. >> the type of thing, the president must have really, really wanted to play golf with tiger woods. i'm sure nobody on the white house staff thought it was a good idea and probably tried to maneuver around it. and that's why they didn't have pictures, the staff didn't want prick tou pictures. >> is that the moment where the president said, if you are so smart, why am i president? >> the administration talks about transparency. a lot of angry white house correspondents because they wanted to see photos of this outing. >> let him play go
