And right out of the gate, a bullish speaker, john boehner, is pushing back against claims that he is being bullied by right wing rebels. He says he simply cant put a bill on the floor, because he doesnt have the votes to pass a clean continuing resolution. And in his effort to get the president to give in on something, it sounds as though the speaker has already moved on to the next even more cataclysmic fight over the debt limit, while, of course, blaming the president. A senior white house staffer this morning said that the president would rather default on our debt than to sit down and negotiate. Now, the American People expect when their leaders have differences and were in a time of crisis, that well sit down and at least have a conversation. Yes all the speake

A german magazine reports that the United States may have been monitoring german chancellor Angela Merkel for more than ten years and the director of the National Security agency is denying reports that he discussed operations involving merkel with president obama. Susan mcginnis is in washington. Susan, good morning. Good morning, annemarie. You know, many here seem unfazed by word of this kind of monitoring.
