nasa says they really don't think north america, north america is going to be threatened by this at all. its orbit just won't be anywhere near north america when it really starts to descend. but as the satellite enters the atmosphere everything changes. bit by bit pieces will cross the threshold, 50 miles up, enter the atmosphere and drop like stones traveling at several hundred miles an hour depending on their shape. the chunks will fall at different points along the satellite path. meaning debris when it does hit will come about 500 miles. this may be in the ocean. any one in the area may see a streak of fire for less than two minutes. eyewitnesses will be critical, radar will no longer be able to see the satellite. once it is in free fall. they're thinking ab ing ing abo late this

this point? >> well it depends. it depends exactly where it drops out of orbit. this is a tumbling satellite. so it depends itch f it reenter with the broadside out or skinny side out, that changes the trajectory, how fast, the angle it plunges through earth's atmosphere. >> thank you, gina. reporting live from houston. grab your hard hat today. >> keep an eye on the sky to make sure. and now,

ohio and kentucky. details from washington. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, linsey, rob. president obama brought his jobs pitch to the home turf of congressional rivals. he told supporters in john boehner's home state of ohio that his plan to stimulate the job market if backed by the gop would put more construction workers back on the job. >> there is no reason for republicans and congress to stand in the way of more construction projects. there is no reason to stand in the way of more jobs. mr. boehner, mr. mcconnell, help us rebuild this bridge. >> reporter: the bridge that spans boehner's district to senate mcconnell's home state was at the center of the president's pitch. president obama says construction projects like this bridge would create jobs under this plan itch the plan passes congress. boehner and mcconnell wasted no time sharing their criticism saying the bridge would not be fixed under the president's proposal. >> if a bridge needs fixing, by all means, let's fix it. but don't tell us we need to pass a half trillion dollar stimulus bill and accept job killing tax hikes to do it. >> i long supported replacing the bridge. i am pleased the president is bringing attention to this much needed project. but, you know, now, is not the time for the president to go into campaign mode. >> critics call the president's trip a political stunt. voters are waiting for both parties to build a political bridge and find common ground to deal with the country's long term unemployment. harder to fix the political bridge for sure. the iranian president is spewing more anti-american rhetoric, stopping just short of blaming the u.s. for 9/11. after provoking a walkout at the u.n. general assembly, a scene we have seen before, mahmoud ahmadinejad told the associated press that two jet liners could not have brought down the twin towers. he says some kind of planned explosion must have taken place. despite good will generated

radically reduce interest rates. it is called operation twist, because of its strategy. raising short term rates to lower long term ones. >> the fed did not deliver this time around. in fact the fed what they did do was basically try to alter existing format for stimulus. what it really didn't do was move the interest rates all that much. >> reporter: in washington house speaker john boehner tried to calm fears after the house wednesday rejected a funding bill. >> there is no threat of government shutdown. >> reporter: also warnings the global the economy entered a dangerous phase and heavy debt burdens in the u.s. and europe could suffocate a recovery. >> the world is in a danger zone. in 2008. many people said they did not see the turbulence coming. leaders have no such excuse

now" -- political showdown. the republicans running for president trying to highlight their differences and a winning edge in last night's debate. >> as front-runner rick perry and challenger mitt romney did their best to expose each other's weaknesses in a political primetime drama. it's friday, september 23rd. good morning, everyone. i'm linsey davis. tanya rivero is off this morning. >> happy friday, everybody. i'm rob nelson. we'll bring you the latest polls on the republican race, and show you why michele bachmann had to do a little back pedaling last night after what she said about taxes. and you'll also see how florida's jewish voters are doing their best to reach out to front-runner rick perry. >> also this morning, the old satellite, the size of a bus that is making a beeline for earth, today, it is falling out of orbit and could pose a danger to an area 500 miles long. but it looks like north america may be in the clear. >> yes. >> later this half-hour, starbuck's

same thing. >> brave guy. >> well, we begin with last night's gop debate in florida where the big field of candidates did what they could on stage to set themselves apart. >> conservative front-runner, rick perry and moderate mitt romney were quick to point out their differences by sharing weaknesses. good morning, brad. >> reporter: good morning, rob, linsey. the debate hosted by fox and google took place in a part of florida that traditionally votes republican. with a stage full of republican hopefuls in orlando, the night belonged to former governor rick perry and former massachusetts governor mitt romney. romney wasted no time questioning perry on social security. >> there is a rick perry out there that said, almost, quote, it says -- that the federal government shouldn't be in the pension business, it is unconstitutional. unconstitutional and should be returned to the states. so you better find that rick perry and get him to stop saying that. now -- >> reporter: perry fired back on health care and what romney published in his book. >> your hard copy book you said it was exactly what the american people needed to have, that romney care given to them, as you had in massachusetts. then in your paperback, you took that line out. so, speaking of not getting it straight in your book, sir, that would be a one. >> reporter: the latest quinnipiac poll shows perry ahead of romney by a comfortable margin in florida. but, when up against obama, it shows romney beating obama in the sunshine state. if perry won the gop nomination, the presidential race in florida would be neck and neck. michele bachmann trailing in the polls, maintained her conservative message on jobs, and the economy. >> you earned every dollar. you should got to keep every dollar that you earned. >> reporter: she later back pedalled saying taxes must be paid. as the focus shifts to perry, florida's jewish voters are paying attention to him. a supporter tossed him a custom made personalized yamaka at orlando's faith and freedom forum, a symbolic gesture before the debate. they found common ground last night, they support scaling back the department of education, bachmann even said she would shut it down and lock the door. rob, linsey? >> interesting side note to that idea about mitt romney's book "no apology" when it went to paperback version, there was a line that in fact was taken out that read -- we can accomplish the same thing for everyone in the country speaking of health care reform and the mandate issue. his camp came out and defended it. says always revisions are made from hard cover to paperback. certainly there had to be political consideration behind it after the president's health care plan. >> wasn't very helpful that perry pointed that out. >> of course he did. >> a jab for a jab there. >> they keep going at it. i wonder how everyone else on stage feels, a two-man race at this point. >> exactly. >> basically, you don't count. you are not a threat to me. turning the page, president obama focuses on education today offering states a way to get around the no child left behind law. yesterday mr. obama was in the home state of house speaker john ll.hner, pounding away again on posing in the shadow of a decaying bridge, mr. obama urged boehner to pass the bill and put construction workers back to work. >> well a family affair in
