And good morning. Welcome to morning on two. Its saturday december 27 president. Good morning. It is a bit chilly outside right now. Start of the weekend. Lets turn to rosemary. Have jackets going. Could be chilly throughout the day or a warm up . A lot like how we had yesterday without the wind. We expected the wind to die down. We knew once it went away the temperatures would fuel. Thats what happened. Giving you a live look outside this morning and at the bay bridge. Yesterday at this hour bay bridge had a wind advisory because boy the winds were gusting strong for some of us, no longer the case. No trouble getting across that bridge. We are fog free and we are again with the cold numbers. 31 degrees at walnut creek. Some of us are below freezing this morning. Now to your freezing, nevado, 31 in santa rosa. We have an advisory for parts of solano. Lets take a bit of a tour here. We will start along the peninsula, a lot of 30s and low 40s. 37 across the city. We shift into areas like ....
Business. Okay. Take a deep breath. Count to ten. Because there may at last be a way out of at least part of the monumental standoff in washington. Right now were just half an hour away from a crucial meeting between House Republican leaders and the president at the white house. And everything could hinge on what happens there. Senate democrats just left the white house after their meeting, and Senate Republicans will head over tomorrow morning. Now over in the house, gop leaders announced this morning that theyll offer a bill authorizing a temporary increase in the debt ceiling if the president will agree to substantive negotiations on other fiscal matters. What we want to do is to offer the president today the ability to move a temporary increase in the debt ceiling in agreement to go to conference on the budget for his willingness to sit down and discuss with us a wa ....
Revenues will come from guess who . The rich. Maybe they need to learn a thing or two from president obama. This is a solvable problem. I do remain optimistic that we can get something done that is good for families. Its exactly one month since the president s resounding reelection, but if you thought the campaign was over, youd be wrong. In the fight over the fiscal cliff, the president is again reaching out to voters for their support. This afternoon a Northern Virginia family got a special visit after sharing their story about how a 2,200 tax increase would hurt them. And for the president , it was a chance to remind the public and congress that without a deal, taxes will go up for everyone at the end of the year. The message that i think we all want to send to members of congress is this is a solvable problem. The senate has already passed a bill that would make sure that middle class taxes do not go up next year by a singl ....
I think its a great asset for democrats. They have tried 45 times to do the same thing, and they lost every time to defund obama care. Now we have a new deal. What were going to do is hold a bunch of hearings and try to embarrass the president this way. All their yelling and screaming about obama care, what is their alternative in they dont have one. That came after nancy pelosi made it clear she believes it was the bank bailout affectionately known as t. A. R. P. And not obama care that torpedoed them in 2010. I dont buy into the idea we lost the election because of the health care. One of the most damaging votes our members had to take was the t. A. R. P. That was really the vote that sort of soured people. They didnt like that vote at all. Still even as some red state democrats go to survival mode not all are climbing aboard the freakout train. One said, if Jeanne Shaheen thinks it helps her in new hampshire, then you know what ....
Own, cornerstones of what it means to be middle class. Whats become a barrier, the soaring cost of higher education. This country is only as strong as our next generation. If you work hard, study hard, and are responsible, here in america, you can make it if you try. Even as this pecks increasingly crucial to get into the middle class, the cost of a College Education is going further and further out of reach. With the average student borrower graduating more than 26,000 in dead. At the university of buffalo today, the president said that has to change. Higher education is still the best ticket to upward mobility. If we dont do something about keeping it within reach, it will create problems for economic mobility for generations to come. Thats not acceptable. To help make that change hahn happen, the president is propose a plan to tie federal aid to the schools offering, using a variety of metrics to reward the schools helping s ....
