But I didn't get that feeling from President Obama. And quite honestly, he left that meeting and went to a fundraiser in Chicago. And, you know, it's just a sad fact. You know, He talks about wanting to have the Grand Bargain. Well, why didn't he put that in his budget that he presented last February that lost zero to 97 in the United States, you know, dominated by his own party again last year. In all sincerity, we tried to negotiate with this president. Rob was right there. We sent from the Senate, I know three of our most knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely sincere individuals that wanted to work toward a solution, and they got nowhere. (03:15–03:30)
