Below is one of the TV interviews Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) has given after leading this weekâs House Democratic revolt against President Obamaâs tax deal with Republicans.
In this interview with The Big Picture, DeFazio tells an empathetic Thom Hartmann (starting at about the 2:40 mark) that the backlash against Obamaâs deal is âunprecedentedâ during his 24 years in the House, and that he hopes it gives Obama âan opportunity to be the president he told us he was going to be.â
