david: i think it is grotesquely unconstructive. we have reduced ourself to be schoolyard, somehow saying two wrongs make a right. is obama embracing other democrats, no. is he good at embracing the rest of his administration, no. is he isolated, is he combative yes. i think he is doing all of those things. you are conflating a bunch of things. health care reform, there was a big battle, people voted, he got his way. that was not forcing it down their throats. that was the legislative process working. there were other cases where he achieved victory. he used executive authority. republican presidents use executive authority. there is always a cry from the other side saying, oh my gosh, imperial presidency. that is how washington works. just as obama has done wrong in terms of not reaching out, mitch mcconnell said my job is to stop obama. he did not say, my job is to make america stronger. he did not say my job is to help the american people through more trade. he took the opposite side. he certainly has not been terribly constructi

so, the house provision was unconstructive and at odds with how this issue has been addressed time and time again in a bipartisan manner. and we continue to believe that the right way to address this issue is consistent with what we proposed. and that we have always said, as many of you around this table know and have been reporting on for years, we have always said that we're open to having a conversation about social security reform more broadly. we have laid out a set of principles that would be important in the context of that conversation. but it is just not tenable to walk away from what has been a very clear, bipartisan approach to addressing the issue. so in terms of answering your question concretely, that's how we think this is going to need to get done. questioner: [inaudible] it's an internal debate among republicans. do you actually expect to play a role in the crafting of a republican budget? it seems at moment your fingerprints appear on it, it loses republican support. i'm curious whether the strategy that you're employing in this aggressive way that the president is ta
