Season 2010 Episode 3580 | 23m 37s

During a very busy last week of the lame-duck session, Congress repeals "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and passes the START treaty as well as additional benefits for 9/11 first responders and survivors. But not everything President Obama wanted from Congress came to pass. Joining Gwen: Peter Baker (NY Times), Dan Balz (Washington Post), Gloria Borger (CNN) and Susan Davis (National Journal).
