politicos rather an article about it not seen in in order to other places but
it hasn't been getting a lot of height but i think it's it will soon enough and
it's very important
uh... there's a new group of moderate democrats centrist democrats that you
take a moderate centrist anyway you like here
uh... that have gotten together
and that might challenge obama some issue
and mainly the first in a fight about his business budget and they're worried
about spending that it's too much spending
and they led by ben nelson of the bresca maryland through louisiana and have
imbibe indiana
uh... their number of other people up on this
lua causes about fourteen people in facts not that willis and very important
uh... middle block and they might actually pull some republicans intuit at
some point two
now if they go off the reservation all bar will be able to get anything done
possess a large chunk of democratic votes
he absolutely positively needs to get the fifty-one for the budget let alone
to get the sixty for other things
uh... so that their filibuster proof or for other was facial
now there are some parts of the group some members of the group
that i have more faith in than others clever castles in the group
uh... i think the she is savvy and smart
both from on a political sense there of policy level as well
unless she's in the room
joe lieberman's in the caucuses well
that gives me some cause for concern
the fact that ben nelson is one of the leaders of the congress gives me great
cause for concern
because he's a guy who appealed office support bush on
many of his
uh... policies and those policies one of the indus actress
uh... now can this group you
uh... the face absolutely that you can go one of two directions and at this
point
it is not clear which of those who directions sanitary
but this could determine
how all bomb a legislative
and how much he is accomplished in the next four years
so that's why i think it's a
uh... very very important stories so
were two different rich is what it is
they say hey you know what
we're fiscal hawks and we wanna make sure that the budget gets under control
so if you're gonna allocate money out to the bailout for example two hundred
fifty billion dollars
which they can be leveraged to seventeen fifty billion dollars within the budget
what while we want to keep an eye on then make sure
but that doesn't get out of control
there is some spending programs where we think maybe it's too heavy a hand
we wanna read that in a little bit
and make sure that uh... the deficit is that a number of that's not going to be
very high but
that is gonna be easier to rein in later camera
if he got down that path
that i think this could be a great time
an ethnic it'd help obama
kit actually she post partisanship bipartisanship etcetera
if this sound
middle-of-the-road centrist views that most americans are gonna be comfortable
or they can go a different here
they go on a direction of
okay
these tax cuts
me
getting rid of them we can have it
can't raise taxes on the rich
we gotta make sure that we protect the operate come bracket
we had a measure
that we protect
summit industries are being affected agriculture being a top one
because a lot of the senators are concerned about that
the healthcare industry
et cetera and these are the guys who pay our bills and so this is what they pass
for who watched their back
and were not allowed or bombing get the real change that he wants
i'm gonna be open mind sabo things are possible and i really do believe that
of the first signed as not a good sign
there is a separate report now talking about how some senators and some that
are in the school bus on that or not
and some congressmen as well
are uncomfortable with some of the
tax
increases the top bracket
so here comes the money you know
you know you were wondering how are they going to get with all these democratic
senators highly estoppel bombers
legislation are they gonna stop this
you know
plan for change
well allot of those democratic senators and congressmen
have gotten there to do a lot of contributions from a lot of those
industries and the top income brackets
so
are they
they didn't pay those guys oo
all that money
not to come through for them in the clutch
and this is the clock
so the first sign is not a good sign it looks like uh... the people with the
money arlena protected as we all knew
but that recently that was going to happen we
republics were in a backup the question is how many democrats who do they get on
their side
and this is going to be great struggle go bomb administration anarchism bombing
going to be able to overcome
these guys if that's the direction that they go in
will get some compromises that are better for the country if they
for example take some of the bailout money in my opinion
uh... we did some convoys that were not comfortable with but can live with
or were they settle change altogether
these fourteen so-called centrist democrats
will probably decide things
so
desire for stuff
signed today exists
and that would be
and that and i'm here to tell them we got our eyes on you
for better or for worse
and will key but regular through all the days and weeks and months ahead
and see what they do and i will look for all the signs of which direction they're
going to go in one of those two tour different passes they can take
