The contentious interview here:



Part two here.

Well worth a watch.  Obama takes responsibility for the bill ("my bill").  That is good.  He puts his marker out there.  The Louisiana deal is okay because of Katrina.  Hawaii deal is okay because of earthquake?  Florida Medicare breaks will apply across states.  What is amazing about this interview is the rapidly changing legislation affecting one-sixth of the U.S. economy is so uncertain that Baier has to ask whether or not the deals are in or out.
