At them come in, sean donovan housing and urban development there in the gray suit, arne duncan with education a lot of these people have served four years. This is not exactly a new team. He didnt clean house by any means. There are some new people, john kerry but its a very familiar group of people. Is there fresh vision there . Thats one of the things well be able to judge tonight. Woodruff a good point, mark. The president is replacing about half the cabinet, about half of them have announced theyre leaving. We know some of the new names but most of them havent taken their jobs yet. You know, there were some conversation that, you know, as david was just saying that some of these folks are exhausted from four years of partisan warfare. I think it is. I think its always difficult to replace somebody who is enjoying her work or his work. For any president. This is a president that, quite frankly, is comfortable with a smaller circle of people. Woodruff if i can just interrupt, the ge
Finally what you reported tonight that he will call for withdrawing 34,000 troops out of afghanistan by the end of the year and, of course, were still scheduled to be in afghanistan until the end of 2014 to have some troops there. Pelley were waiting for president to enter the chamber here. We expect that in another minute or two. Nancy cordes is our capitol hill correspondent and nancy, after the president makes his remarks tonight, well be hearing the republican response from senator marco rubio of florida. Reporter thats right, scott. Hes expected to say he hopes the president will abandon his obsession with raising taxes and hell say president obama believes that Free Enterprise is the source of all of our problems. Mr. Rubio is really going to be focusing on the middle class were told, in his speech tonight. He is going to make the argument that the republican party, not the democrats are the party that is better situated to help the middleclass and to help more people get into th
Cabin, there has been no other gunfire. And what can you tell all the residents of big bear and the surrounding area at the moment as the sun is about to set. This guy still on the loose . I cant answer that for you. But its a possibility . Cindy, thank you. Thank you for talking to us. So you just heard an update from syndrome Cindy Bachman with the Sheriffs Department. Theyre not exactly sure through all the shooting that anned earlier today there you saw the most interesting question of the night. Christopher dorner on the loose or not, or did he burn in that cabin. John yang still with us from the l. A. Bureau of nbc news. John, that was quite a news conference, leaving us with nothing really except the possibility that the person being pursued here, Christopher Dorner who may be responsible for four killings right now is on the loose again. Thats right there. Is no indication. I mean clearly they say this is the cabin where he was holed up, that the fire, theyre not sure how the f
