contin
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE BECAUSE HE
COULD NOT MUSTER ENOUGH
REPUBLICAN VOTES TO PASS IT.
NOW, PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS JUST
MADE REMARKS ABOUT THE FAILURE
OF THE BILL, THE FAILURE OF WHAT
WAS HIS SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN
PROMISE.
HE WAS SPEAKING AT THE WHITE
HOUSE AFTER AN EVENT THERE, AND
HIS REMARKS WERE TAPED BY THE
WHITE HOUSE POOL AND, IN JUST A
MOMENT, IN ABOUT A MINUTE, WE
WILL HAVE THOSE REMARKS AS THEY
ARE FED OUT LIVE.
MARGARET BRENNAN IS AT THE WHITE
HOUSE FOR US TODAY.
MARGARET, WHAT HAS THE PRESIDENT
SAID SO FAR?
WELL, SCOTT, THE STRATEGY
HERE SEEMS TO BE TRYING TO PIN
THIS ON A FAILURE TO GET ENOUGH
DEMOCRATS ON BOARD, BUT, AS YOU
POINTED OUT, IT WAS THE
PRESIDENT'S OWN PARTY THAT
WASN'T FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS
REPUBLICAN PLAN TO OVERHAUL
HEALTH CARE.
THE CAMPAIGN PLEDGE HAD BEEN
REPEAL AND REPLACE, THE PLAN
KNOWN AS ObamaCare, AND NOW IT
SEEMS TO BE COLLAPSE AND
REPLACE.
THAT IS BETTING THAT THE HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM THAT IS FACING REAL
DIFFICULTY IN PLACES LIKE
KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE WILL
EVENTUALLY FORCE THE HAND
BECAUSE IT WILL HURT THE PUBLIC
ENOUGH TO HAVE THEIR LEGISLATORS
GET ON BOARD WITH A NEW VERSION
OF THE BILL.
NO TIMELINE ON THAT YET, SCOTT.
Pelley: MARGARET BRENNAN,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THIS IS THE PRESIDENT JUST A FEW
MINUTES AGO WITH HIS FIRST
COMMENTS ON CAMERA IN THE OVAL
OFFICE.
LET'S LISTEN IN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE WITH WERE VERY CLOSE.
IT WAS A VERY, VERY TIGHT
MARGIN.
WE HAD NO DEMOCRAT SUPPORT.
WE HAD NO VOTES FROM THE
DEMOCRATS.
THEY WEREN'T GOING TO GIVE US A
SINGLE VOTE, SO IT'S A VERY
DIFFICULT THING TO DO.
I HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR THE LAST
YEAR AND A HALF THAT THE BEST
THING WE CAN DO POLITICALLY
SPEAKING IS LET ObamaCare
EXPLODE.
IT IS EXPLODING RIGHT NOW.
MANY STATES HAVE BIG PROBLEMS,
ALMOST ALL STATES HAVE BIG
PROBLEMS.
I WAS IN TENNESSEE THE OTHER
DAY, AND THEY'VE LOST HALF THEIR
STATE IN TERMS OF INSURED, THEY
HAVE NO INSURANCE, AND THAT'S
HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER PLACES.
I WAS IN KENTUCKY THE OTHER DAY,
AND SIMILAR THINGS ARE
HAPPENING.
SO ObamaCare IS EXPLODING,
WITH NO DEMOCRAT SUPPORT WE
COULDN'T QUITE GET THERE.
WE'RE JUST A VERY SMALL NUMBER
OF VOTES SHORT IN TERMS OF
GETTING OUR BILL PASSED.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE
HOW GOOD OUR BILL WAS BECAUSE
THEY WERE VIEWING PHASE ONE.
BUT WHEN YOU ADD PHASE TWO,
WHICH WAS MOSTLY THE SIGNINGS OF
SECRETARY PRICE WHO'S BEHIND
THEM AND ADD STAGE 3, PREMIUMS
WOULD HAVE BEEN GONE DOWN AND IT
WOULD HAVE BEEN STABLE AND IT
WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY STRONG.
BUT WE'RE VERY, VERY CLOSE.
I THINK WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS
ObamaCare UNFORTUNATELY WILL
EXPLODE.
IT'S GOING TO HAVE A VERY BAD
YEAR.
LAST YEAR YOU HAD OVER 100%
INCREASES IN VARIOUS PLACES.
IN ARIZONA, I UNDERSTAND IT'S
GOING UP VERY RAPIDLY AGAIN LIKE
LAST YEAR.
LAST YEAR WAS 116%.
MANY PLACES 50%, 60%, 70%.
I GUESS IT AVERAGED -- WHATEVER
THE AVERAGE WAS, VERY VERY HIGH,
AND THIS YEAR SHOULD BE MUCH
WORSE WITH ObamaCare.
WHAT WOULD BE GOOD WITH NO
DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT, THE
DEMOCRATS, WHEN IT EXPLODES,
WHICH IT WILL SOON, IF THEY GOT
TOGETHER WITH US AND GOT A REAL
HEALTH CARE BILL.
I WOULD BE TOTALLY OPEN TO IT
AND I THINK THAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN.
I THINK THE LOSERS ARE NANCY
PELOSI AND CHUCK SCHUMER BECAUSE
NOW THEY OWN ObamaCare.
THEY OWN IT, 100% OWN IT.
THIS IS NOT A REPUBLICAN HEALTH
CARE, THIS IS NOT ANYTHING BUT A
DEMOCRAT HEALTH CARE, AND THEY
HAVE ObamaCare FOR A LITTLE
WHILE LONGER UNTIL IT CEASES TO
EXIST, WHICH IT WILL AT SOME
POINT IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
AND JUST REMEMBER, THIS IS NOT
OUR BILL, THIS IS THEIR BILL.
WHEN THEY ALL BECOME CIVILIZED
AND GET TOGETHER AND TRY AND
WORK OUT A GREAT HEALTH CARE
BILL FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS
COUNTRY, WE'RE OPEN TO IT, WE'RE
TOTALLY OPEN TO IT.
I WANT TO THANK THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.
I WANT TO THANK PAUL RYAN.
HE WORKED VERY, VERY HARD, I
WILL TELL YOU THAT.
HE WORKED VERY, VERY HARD.
TOM PRICE AND MIKE PENCE, WHO'S
RIGHT HERE, OUR GREAT
VICE PRESIDENT, EVERYBODY WORKED
HARD.
I WORKED AS A TEAM PLAYER AND
WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE SEEN IT
PASS, BUT, AGAIN, I THINK YOU
KNOW I WAS VERY CLEAR, I THINK
THERE WASN'T A SPEECH I MADE OR
VERY FEW WHERE I DIDN'T MENTION
PERHAPS THE BEST THING THAT
COULD HAPPEN IS EXACTLY WHAT
HAPPENED TODAY BECAUSE WE'LL END
UP WITH A TRULY GREAT HEALTHCARE
BILL IN THE FUTURE AFTER THIS
MESS KNOWN AS ObamaCare
EXPLODES.
SO I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR
BEING HERE.
IT WILL GO VERY SMOOTHLY, I
BELIEVE.
IT CERTAINLY WAS AN INTERESTING
PERIOD OF TIME.
WE ALL LEARNED A LOT.
WE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT LOYALTY,
WE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THE VOTE
GETTING PROCESSED.
WE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT SOME VERY
ARCADE RULES IN, OBVIOUSLY, POET
THE SENATE AND IN THE HOUSE, SO
IT'S BEEN -- CERTAINLY, FOR ME,
IT'S BEEN A VERY INTERESTING
EXPERIENCE, BUT, IN THE END, I
THINK IT'S GOING TO BE AN
EXPERIENCE, AT LEAST, TO AN EVEN
BETTER HEALTH CARE PLAN.
SO THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH AND
I'LL SEE YOU SOON.
IS IT NOW YOUR INTENTION TO
GO FOR TAX REFORM OR WHAT'S NEXT
ON YOUR --
WE PROBABLY WILL BE GOING
RIGHT NOW FOR TAX REFORM WHICH
WE COULD HAVE DONE EARLIER BUT
THIS REALLY WOULD HAVE WORKED
OUT BETTER IF WE COULD HAVE HAD
SOME DEMOCRAT SUPPORT.
REMEMBER THIS, WE HAD NO
DEMOCRAT SUPPORT, SO NOW WE'RE
GOING TO GO FOR TAX REFORM,
WHICH I'VE ALWAYS LIKED.
-- SPEAKER RYAN'S LEADERSHIP
AND HIS ABILITY TO GET THINGS
DONE.
YES, I LIKE SPEAKER RYAN, HE
WORKED VERY, VERY HARD.
A LOT OF DIFFERENT GROUPS, HE'S
GOT A LOT OF FACTIONS.
THERE IS BEEN A LONG OF HISTORY
OF LIKING AND DISLIKING EVEN
WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY,
LONG BEFORE I GOT HERE.
BUT I'VE HAD A GREAT
RLATIONSHIP WITH THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.
IT SEEMS BOTH SIDES LOVE TRUMP
AND THAT'S GOOD AND YOU SEE THAT
I GUESS, MORE CLEARLY THAN
ANYBODY.
I'M NOT GOING TO SPEAK BADLY
ABOUT ANYBODY WIN THE PARTY, BUT
I THINK THERE IS A HISTORY.
I THINK PAUL WORKED REALLY HARD
AND I THINK WE'LL GO VERY, VERY
STRONGLY FOR THE BIG CUTS AND
TAX REFORMS WHICH WILL BE NEXT.
-- LET ObamaCare EXPLODE?
THERE IS NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO
ABOUT IT.
IT'S GOING TO -- THINGS ARE
GOING TO HAPPEN TO ObamaCare.
THERE IS NOT MUCH YOU CAN GO 'DO
TO HELP IT.
I HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR A
YEAR AND A HALF.
I SAID, LOOK, EVENTUALLY -- IT'S
NOT SUSTAINABLE.
THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE
LEAVING, YOU KNOW THAT, THEY'RE
LEAVING ONE BY ONE AS QUICK AS
THEY CAN LEAVE AND YOU HAVE
STATES, IN SOME CASES SOON, THAT
WILL NOT BE COVERED, SO THERE'S
NO WAY OUT OF THAT.
BUT THE ONE THING THAT WAS
HAPPENING AS WE GOT CLOSER AND
CLOSER, EVERYBODY WAS TALKING
ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL IT WAS, AND
NOW IT WILL GO BACK TO REAL
LIFE, PEOPLE WILL SEE HOW BAD IT
IS AND IT'S GETTING MUCH WORSE,
YOU KNOW, I SAID THE OTHER DAY,
WHEN PRESIDENT OBAMA LEFT, 17,
HE KNEW HE WASN'T GOING TO BE
HERE.
'17 IS GOING TO BE A VERY, VERY
BAD YEAR FOR ObamaCare.
VERY BAD.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE EXPLOSIVE
PREMIUM INCREASES AND THE
DEDUCTIBLES ARE SO HIGH PEOPLE
DON'T EVEN GET TO USE IT.
SO THEY WILL GO WITH THAT FOR A
LITTLE WHILE.
I HONESTLY BELIEVE -- I KNOW
SOME TO HAVE THE DEMOCRATS AND
THEY'RE GOOD PEOPLE -- I
HONESTLY THINK SOME TO HAVE THE
DEMOCRATS WILL COME TO US AND
SAY, LOOK, LET'S GET TOGETHER
AND GET A REALLY GREAT HEALTH
CARE BILL AND PLAN THAT'S REALLY
GREAT FOR THE PEOPLE OF OUR
COUNTRY AND I THINK THAT'S GOING
TO HAPPEN.
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WEREN'T
ABLE TO CRAFT A DEAL AMONG THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY?
WE WERE VERY CLOSE.
WE WERE PROBABLY ANYWHERE FROM
TEN TO 15 VOTES SHORT, COULD
HAVE BEEN CLOSER.
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW BECAUSE YOU
NEVER KNOW HOW THEY VOTE IN.
THE END, I THINK WE WOULD HAVE
BEEN TEN VOTES, EVEN CLOSER.
IT'S HARD TO GET 100%.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A VERY,
VERY LARGE NUMBER OF VOTES,
AMONG ANY GROUP, AND WE WERE
VERY CLOSE TO DOING IT.
BUT WHEN YOU GET NO VOTES FROM
THE OTHER SIDE, MEANING THE TBMS
R DEMOCRATS, IT'S REALLY A
DIFFICULT SITUATION.
-- THE DEMOCRATS NOW?
NO, I THINK WE HAVE TO LET
ObamaCare GO ITS WAY FOR A
WHILE AND WE'LL SEE HOW THINGS
GO.
IT'S NOT A QUESTION OF, GEE, I
HOPE IT DOES WELL.
I WOULD LOVE IT TO DO WELL.
I LOVE GREAT HEALTH CARE FOR THE
PEOPLE OF THIS NATION, BUT IT
CAN'T DO WELL.
IT'S IMPLODING AND SOON WILL
EXPLODE, AND I WANT NOT GOING TO
BE PRETTY.
SO THE DEMOCRATS DON'T WANT TO
SEE THAT.
SO THEY'RE GOING TO REACH OUT
WHEN THEY'RE READY, AND WHENEVER
THEY'RE READY, WE'RE READY.
DO YOU FEEL BETRAYED BY THE
HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS AT ALL?
NO, I'M NOT BETRAYED.
THEY'RE FRIENDS OF MINE.
I'M DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE WE
COULD HAVE HAD IT.
I'M A LITTLE SURPRISED, TO BE
HONEST WITH YOU.
WE REALLY HAD IT.
IT WAS PRETTY MUCH THERE WITHIN
GRASP.
BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S GOING
TO COME OUT OF IT IS A BETTER
BILL, I REALLY BELIEVE A BETTER
BILL, BECAUSE THERE WERE THINGS
IN THIS BILL I DIDN'T
PARTICULARLY LIKE, AND I THINK
IT'S A BETTER BILL.
YOU KNOW, BOTH PARTIES CAN GET
TOGETHER AND DO REAL HEALTH
CARE.
THAT'S THE BEST THING.
ObamaCare WAS RAMMED DOWN
EVERYONE'S THROAT 100% DEMOCRAT,
AND I THINK HAVING BIPARTISAN
WOULD BE A BIG, BIG IMPROVEMENT.
SO, NO, I THINK THAT THIS IS
GOING TO END UP BEING A VERY
GOOD THING.
I'M DISAPPOINTED, BUT THEY'RE
FRIENDS OF MINE AND, YOU KNOW --
IT WAS A VERY HARD TIME FOR THEM
AND A VERY HARD VOTE, BUT
THEY'RE VERY GOOD PEOPLE.
-- NECESSARILY LOVE WHAT --
THERE WERE THINGS YOU DIDN'T
LOVE.
WHAT?
I THINK BIPARTISAN WE COULD
HAVE HAD A HEALTH CARE BILL THAT
WOULD BE ULTIMATE AND I THINK
THE DEMOCRATS KNOW THAT.
I THINK SOME DAY IN THE NOT TOO
DISTANT FUTURE THAT WILL HAPPEN.
I HAVE BEEN HERE 64 DAYS, I
NEVER SAID REPEAL AND REPLACE
ObamaCare.
YOU'VE ALL HEARD MY SPEECHES.
I NEVER SAID REPEAL AND REPLACE
IT WITHIN 64 DAYS.
BUT I WANT TO HAVE A GREAT
HEALTH CARE BILL AND PLAN, AND
WE WILL.
IT WILL HAPPEN, AND IT WON'T BE
IN THE VERY DISTANT FUTURE.
I REALLY BELIEVE THERE WILL BE
SOME DEMOCRAT SUPPORT AND IT
WILL HAPPEN AND IT WILL BE AN
EVEN BETTER BILL.
I THINK THIS WAS A VERY GOOD
BILL.
I THINK IT WILL BE EVEN BETTER
THE NEXT TIME AROUND.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE
IN TOO LONG A PERIOD OF TIME.
ANYTHING SPECIFICALLY YOU
WANT THE CHANGE?
Reporter: I DON'T WANT TO
SPEAK ABOUT SPECIFICS BUT THERE
ARE THINGS I WOULD HAVE LIKED
EVEN MORE, BUT I THOUGHT,
OVERALL, THIS WAS A VERY, VERY
GOOD BILL, AND I THOUGHT TOM
PRICE -- DR. TOM PRICE, WHO
REALLY IS AMAZING ON HEALTH CARE
IN HIS KNOWLEDGE, I THOUGHT HE
DID A FANTASTIC JOB.
SAME WITH MIKE PENCE.
I THINK THESE TWO GUYS, THEY
WORKED SO HARD AND REALLY DID A
FANTASTIC JOB.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE IT.
Pelley: A VIDEOTAPE OF THE
REMARKS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP IN
THE OVAL OFFICE JUST A FEW
MINUTES AGO, REACTING TO A MAJOR
LEGISLATIVE DEFEAT, THE FAILURE
OF HIS SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN ISSUE
WHICH WAS TO REPEAL AND REPLACE
ObamaCare.
THE PRESIDENT WENT OUT OF HIS
WAY, AS YOU SAW, TO BLAME
DEMOCRATS FOR THE DEFEAT, BUT
THAT CONFUSES THE ISSUE.
THE REPUBLICANS DID NOT NEED ANY
DEMOCRATIC VOTES TO PASS THE
BILL IN THE HOUSE TODAY, NOT
ONE.
THE PROBLEM WAS REPUBLICANS
COULD NOT GET TOGETHER IN
SUPPORTING THE
CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS FELT
THE BILL DID NOT GO FAR ENOUGH.
MODERATE REPUBLICANS BELIEVED
THE BILL WENT TOO FAR IN CUTTING
BENEFITS TO THE POOR.
AND, SO, REPUBLICANS SCUTTLED
THIS BILL COMING UP ABOUT A
DOZEN OR SO VOTES SHORT.
JOHN DICKERSON IS OUR POLITICAL
DIRECTOR AND THE ANCHOR OF "FACE
THE NATION."
JOHN, WHERE DOES THIS GO FROM
HERE?
WELL, THE PRESIDENT'S GOING
TO MOVE ON TO TAX REFORM.
THAT'S GOING TO BE JUST AS HARD.
IT FACES ALL THE SAME DYNAMICS,
SAME COMPLEXITY, ALL THE SAME
FACTIONS HE TALKED ABOUT.
IT WAS REALLY QUITE A STRIKING
SERIES OFFCOMMENTS THERE BY THE
PRESIDENT.
HE SAID AT THE END THERE HE
NEVER CALLED FOR REPEAL AND
REPLACE RIGHT AWAY.
HE CALLED FOR IT DAY ONE OF HIS
PRESIDENCY.
HE SAID MY FIRST DAY IN OFFICE I
AM GOING TO ASK CONGRESS TO PUT
A BILL ON MY DESK GETTING RID OF
THIS DISASTROUS LAW.
HE ALSO SAID THIS WAS ABOUT THE
DEMOCRATS IN TRYING TO PUSH
REPUBLICAN VOTES THIS WEEK, HE
SAID IF THE REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS
IN THE HOUSE DIDN'T VOTE FOR
THIS THAT REPUBLICAN VOTERS
WOULD PUNISH THEM, WOULD SEND
THEM OUT OF OFFICE.
HE DIDN'T MENTION THE DEMOCRATS.
THE REASON THE DEMOCRATS WERE
NOT PART OF THIS IS THE
STRATEGIC CHOICE AT THE
BEGINNING OF THIS ENTIRE PROCESS
WAS TO DO THIS EXPLICITLY
WITHOUT DEMOCRATS.
AT THE END OF HIS REMARKS YOU
HEARD THE PRESIDENT COMPLAIN
ABOUT DEMOCRATS PASSING THE
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT WITH 100%
DEMOCRATIC VOTES.
HE'S EXACTLY RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
REPUBLICANS WERE GOING TO COPY
THAT STRATEGY PRECISELY.
SO THIS WAS A FIGHT AMONG
REPUBLICANS.
DEMOCRATS WERE NOT ENGAGED IN
THE CONVERSATION.
IN ALL MY REPORTING, I KEPT
ASKING IF THERE WAS ANY
OPPORTUNITY TO REACH ACROSS AND
EVERYBODY KEPT SAYING, NO, THIS
IS WITHIN REPUBLICANS AND ABOUT
REPUBLICANS BECAUSE TO HAVE THE
CHOICE THAT WAS MADE ABOUT HOW
TO GET THIS THROUGH --
STRATEGICALLY THROUGH THE
PROCESS.
SO THERE'S A LOT OF REVISIONISM
GOING ON HERE, AND THE QUESTION
IS DOES THAT REVISIONISM STICK,
OR DO REPUBLICANS HAVE A BIGGER
CONVERSATION ABOUT THE FACT THAT
THE CONSERVATIVES WHO BLOCKED
THIS FROM HAPPENING, THEY'RE NOT
GOING AWAY.
THEY DIDN'T DISAPPEAR WHEN
DONALD TRUMP WAS VOTED IN AND,
NOW, THE QUESTION IS WHAT ARE
REPUBLICANS GOING TO DO ABOUT
THE DISAGREEMENTS IN THEIR OWN
PARTY?
THEY ARE NOW THE GOVERNING
PARTY, AND IT'S UP TO THEM.
Pelley: MARGARET BRENNAN IS
STANDING BY AT THE WHITE HOUSE
FOR US.
MARGARET, LAST NIGHT THE
PRESIDENT ISSUED AN ULTIMATUM.
HE TOLD REPUBLICANS, PASS THIS
BILL TODAY, FRIDAY, OR LEAVE
ObamaCare IN PLACE.
THEY WEREN'T LISTENING AND, AS
WE NOW HEARD FROM THE PRESIDENT,
SEEMS LIKE THE PRESIDENT IS NOT
GOING TO STICK WITH THAT
ULTIMATUM.
HE SOUNDS LIKE HE'S GOING TO
CONSIDER OTHER PLANS FOR HEALTH
CARE.
YES, HE SIGNALED THAT THIS
MAY NOT BE THE ALL-OR-NOTHING
SITUATION THAT HE FIRST
DESCRIBED AND THAT HE MAY COME
BACK TO THE TABLE, PERHAPS, AT A
LATER DATE TO NEGOTIATE ANOTHER
HEALTH CARE BILL HE SAYS THAT
DEMOCRATS WILL BE FORCED TO GET
ON BOARD WITH OR PERHAPS HE WILL
BE FORCED TO REACH ACROSS THE
AISLE TO GET DONE BECAUSE HE
SAYS THERE ARE GOING BE ENOUGH
PROBLEMS ON A STATE LEVEL WITH
THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM KNOWN AS
ObamaCare THAT WILL REALLY
FORCE THEIR HAND.
THIS CHALLENGE HERE IS --
THROUGHOUT THIS CAMPAIGN AND
BEGINNING OF THIS PRESIDENCY,
64, 65 DAYS IN, THERE HAS BEEN A
QUESTION WHETHER THE REPUBLICAN
MAJORITY IN CONGRESS WOULD HAVE
UNQUESTIONINGLY FOLLOW THE
PRESIDENT'S ORDERS DO, HIS
BIDDING.
WE SAW TODAY THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT
THE CASE, THERE IS STILL A SPLIT
WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND
AMONG THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR
DONALD TRUMP, IT WILL BE VERY
INTERESTING TO SEE POLLING
NUMBERS REFERENCING WHAT THEY
THINK ABOUT HOW HE HANDLES THIS.
SO FAR, THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS
OUT FROM QUINNIPIAC AND OTHERS
SHOWING LOW APPROVAL RATINGS IN
TERMS OF HOW THIS HAS BEEN
MESSAGED AND HANDLED ON CAPITOL
HILL.
SO WE WILL SEE HOW MUCH OF A
POLITICAL BLOW THIS WILL BE TO
THE PRESIDENT, SINCE THIS IS HIS
FIRST REAL ATTEMPT AT A
LEGISLATIVE EFFORT GOVERNING AND
WHETHER HE -- BECAUSE HE SPENT
SO MUCH PERSONAL CAPITAL ON
THIS, SCOTT -- 17 MEETINGS HERE
AT THE WHITE HOUSE, CAMERAS IN
THE ROOM -- TO SHOW HOW INVESTED
HE WAS.
Pelley: MARGARET BRENNAN AT
THE WHITE HOUSE.
THERE WILL BE MUCH MORE ABOUT
THIS ON YOUR LOCAL NEWS AND OUR
CBS STATIONS AND OUR 24-HOUR
STREAMING NEWS SERVICE CBSN AND,
OF COURSE, RIGHT HERE ON THE
