Reporter former scottish Cardinal Keith obrien would have been among them but announced his resignation last week. Now in a statement he has effectively admitted inappropriate sexual contact with other priests and he apologized. The successor to Pope Benedict must put such things in the past.

Thats now to politics, no sign for compromise and the cuts known as the sequester that started going into effect over the weekend. Nbcs chief white house correspondent, chuck todd is here with the latest. Good morning to you. Good morning, savannah. Welcome to the new normal of washington budget politics 2013, where inaction leads to an actual action that nobody likes but at the same time nobody stopped, resulting in these automatic cuts known as the sequester. Its clear neither side wants to have a budget fight over the next few months as both president obama and Speaker Boehner waved the white flag and allowed sequestration to continue. These cuts will hurt our economy. This is not the smartest way to cut money. Reporter considering that nobody wanted the sequester its striking how little was done to stop it. Instead the president and the speaker of the house have seem content to simply blame each other. The president demanded it. Its happening because of a choice that republicans in congress have made. Reporter a sequester showdown was avoided by doing nothing, allowing these automatic budget cuts to become law. When the president signed the sequester order a number of agencies across government were notified how much they have to cut. It may be months, if ever, that the public feels the direct impact of these cuts. But in a sign of political exhaustion, both the president and the speaker are signaling they wont do battle over funding government the rest of the year, taking the prospect of the Government Shutdown at the end of this month off the table. Theres still optimism both parties can forge some grand bargain on taxes, spending and entitlements much later this year. I think we need to do a big agreement for the country. Bipartisan compromise on revenue, raising tax with serious entitlement reform. Reporter meanwhile as republicans use the sequester debate as a rallying cry to move on from 2012, its clear mitt and ann romney are still grab e grappling with their loss. Obviously it was a winning campaign. It worked. Do you think it was fair . No. The president had the power of incumbency. Obamacare was very attractive, particularly to those with no Health Insurance and they came out in large numbers to vote. As you can see, mitt romney joins mccain, mcgovern and others in the pantheon of defeatdefeat ed president ial candidates that took a little while longer to get over their losses, if ever. Matt . Jeb bush is the author of a brand new book called immigration wars. Governor bush, always good to have you here. Nice to see you. Chuck said this is the new norm in washington, dealing with sequester, the cuts went into effect, the finger pointing continues. Is this the new norm . Every few months, are we to see a manufactured crisis that doesnt get resolved . We have the continuing resolution coming up at the end of the month. And then in early may, the debt ceiling again. I view this kind of as a temporary problem in our history, but it is it appears to be the last two years were going there crisis to crisis to try to deal with these fiscal problems that we face. The cuts went into effect friday night, although they roll out over a long period of time, and yet im surprised there hasnt been more outrage on the part of the general public. Do you think thats because people are simply numb to this by now, the dysfunction of washington or do you think theres a little case of crying wolf here, and they dont believe how severe the impacts going to be . There was a lot of crying wolf. On both sides . No. I think the president kind of led the charge to say that widows and orphans were going to be out on the street. When it didnt happen he actually, himself, kind of stepped back on friday to say it wasnt going to happen that way. Well have significant cuts in defense spending and Discretionary Spending for sure. I think it was oversold. Youre right, i think people are just numb by this dysfunction and they watch it with their peripheral vision. Some people, senator lindsey graham, for instance, is saying we can still get a grand bargain. He wants the president and the speaker to go back to where they were back in 2011 and pick that up and deal with entitlements and perhaps more revenues because of closing loopholes. Should your party come to the table on the issue of increased revenues . You know, i think its a little hard to imagine after january where the highest the biggest tax increase in American History took place and then go back to say we have a revenue problem. I think the focus no wiggle room there at all . There may be. If the president s sincere about dealing with our structural problems. But the thing that we could all agree on is how do we create high sustained Economic Growth for starters, and how can we get back to a degree of normalcy where, like, budgets are passed . Im not talking about tenyear estimations, but going to the new normal being the house and the senate pass a budget and theres a compromise and the president signs it into law. This all gets to the dynamic in washington right now. You are passionate about Immigration Reform. You write in your book, among the many steps we need to take to restore american Economic Growth and prosperity, none offers a more immediate return than improving our immigration system. But if were still pointing fingers over the sequester, is there any chance that meaningful action is taken on immigration in this kind of dynamic . Well, this is the one place where cats and dogs seem to be getting along a little more. And so im optimistic that there could be a consensus about Going Forward on immigration. It would be better to get the budget issues behind us so there could be a focus on this, and an Energy Policy and Regulatory Reform and the things that would allow us to grow at a more sustained rate. Youre going to speak later this month before cpac. Youve been invited. Obviously youve got in new book out that youre talking about. It sounds like you are gearing up for a run. Those are the kinds of things people do when theyre increasing their public profile. Are you going to run in 2016 . Thats way off into the future. I have a voice. I want to share my beliefs about how the conservative movement and the Republican Party can regain its footing, because weve lost our way. But you clearly have not ruled out you will not definitively rule out a run for president in the year 2016 . I wont but im not going to declare today either, matt. Are you surprised that cpac did not offer an invitation to chris christie, a guy who gave the keynote speech at the Republican National convention, a guy who has a 74 Approval Rating . Why did they snub him . Are you surprised by that . A little surprised. On the one hand he did get invited the year before and he will get elected next year when he gets reelected for sure. I think there was some disappointment in how governor christie dealt with the budget issues related to sandy, trying to advocate his position. I can understand that. Budget issues, not the optics of him appearing with president obama . You dont think that has anything to do with this . I dont think so. I think the issue of castigating the house, particularly, for not going along with a 60 billion spending deal that had very little to do witsandy recovery and when it got down to funding sandy, House Republicans went along with that. Thats what i think was the critique. Look, i love christie. I think governor christie is part of the future of the Republican Party for sure. Whether he is going to cpac or not is not really changing that. I can see that in a Christie Campaign ad in 2016. Jeb bush, i love christie. I do. I love the man. Youll come back in our 8 30 half hour. Were going to take a lot about immigration. Appreciate you being here. Thanks. Now heres savannah. Demolition crews in florida are back at work clearing away debris from a sinkhole that swallowed a 37yearold man in his home. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez is there covering the story. Gabe, good morning. Reporter savannah, good morning. Demolition crews plan to finish tearing this home down later today. This, after an emotional day for the families who lived here. As her world crumbled, Janelle Wheeler is also torn apart. Over 40 years of memories just gone. Reporter her home near tampa now deemed too unstable after a sinkhole at least 30 feet wide and 50 feet deep swallowed 36yearold jeff bush from his bedroom and just kept growing. At this point, its really not possible to recover the body. Reporter but on sunday, authorities recovered some keepsakes for the people who lived here. An american flag, pictures and a bible. God works in mysterious ways. He knew we needed this. Reporter florida has more sinkholes than any other state. 15,000 cases have been reported, many clustered in the central part of the state. Last may this huge hole swallowed a backyard near orlando. The next month another destroyed an entire home near tampa. But they werent nearly as bad as this 400foot hole in 1981 that devoured homes, cars and businesses. Experts say many things can cause sinkholes, in florida, its a domino effect. The states sandy soil on top of clay supported by a deep layer of limestone can suddenly collapse due to shifts in floridas unique underground rivers. But even experienced engineers say they havent seen one quite like this. The problem with this one was it was entirely within the building, so it was hidden. And so it became catastrophic. Reporter once the demolition is finished, crews will decide how best to fill the hole to stabilize the area. The two homes next door remain evacuated. Savannah . Gabe gutierrez, thank you very much.
