It was billed as a big meeting. The first time top leaders would meet the president since the shutdown. In the end, Speaker John Boehner said their evening meeting at the white house amounted to little more than a polite conversation with zero headway. Earlier in the day, president obama told Cnbcs John Harwood essex as operated even though he has tried to work with republicans. During the course of my presidency, i have bent over backwards to work with the Republican Party and have purposely kept my rhetoric down. I think im pretty wellknown nor being a calm guy. President obama has called for a clean continuing resolution to fund the government. One that does not try to strip obama care funding. In order to do so, just 17 house members would have to break ranks. Thats assuming all 200 democrats will vote for it. Right now according to the huffington post, that number of republicans stands at 20 conservative congressmen. Devon nunez compared it to lemings with suicide vests. I dont understand the whole point. The whole strategy. Most americans dont understand it. But look, i have supported it. I am support our leadership. Because part of this problem in this whole group that i referred to, this has been ongoing for three years where theyve continued to block our leadership for three years to get 218 votes. The leming caucus, youre talking about the tea party caucus. Its not the tea party caucus. Its guys twwho meet privately, conspiring. Mostly just about power and gotten us nowhere. The house meanwhile passed two narrow spending bills funding only the National Parks service and National Institutes of health. Senate majority leader harry reids answer to a question about the plan raised a few eyebrows. You all talked about children with cancer unable to go to clinical trials. The house is presumably going to pass a bill that funds at least the nih. Given what you said, will you at least pass that and if not, arent you playing the same political games that republicans are . What right do they have to pick and choose what part of governance can be funded . Its obvious whats going on here. You talk about reckless and irresponsible. Wow. What this is all about is obama care. But if you can help one child who has cancer, why wouldnt you do it . Listen one against the other. Why would we want to do that . I have 1100 people at an air force base sitting home. Nef a few problems of their own. This is to have someone of your intelligence to suggest such a thing im just asking a question. Reid later tweeted republicans are in desperate straits that they have resorted to accusing me of not caring about kids with cancer. Shameful. The roll dwrout for the Affordable Care act has been far from flawless, but we have a look at how many people checked out the Health Exchange website.

After five months of testimony, days of deliberation, a not guilty verdict in the wrongful death case. The jury found aeg was not liable for the superstars death. Jacksons mother sued aeg for between 1 billion to 2 billion arguing the company was liable for hiring dr. Conrad murray without properly checking his credentia credentials. The jury disagreed. He was competent to do the job of being a general practitioner. Now that doesnt mean that we felt he was ethical and maybe had the word ethical been in the question, it could have been a different outcome.

Congress currently considering reforms to the nsa and surveillance laws. Lets go to politics on the national level, actually from the city level to go to the national level.

Steve sedgwick live in lon dan. Good morning, steve. Well its interesting. Youve got the president saying on cnbc that wall street should be worried about it and wall street, goldman sachs, Brian Moynahan at bank of america and deutsche saying theyre worried about it. This recovery weve had so far is not necessarily sustainable. Its not wellestablished.
