I wish the president hadn't thrown this in the lap of Congress, it's sort of looking for help for his own lack of leadership, but the fact is, if the Congress turns down the president now, it's not only a blow to President Obama, I think…
I think there's some room here to work on something that gives the troops the flexibility they need, gives Congress the oversight it needs.
I'm saying, talk to the opposition. Find out what they need. If the requests are reasonable, fill them.
