Lets go to our white house correspondent, michelle kosinski. Were learning some of the details about the president s speech to the nation, indeed to the world tomorrow night. What have you learned . Reporter first of all, its interesting this is going to be in primetime. That tells you this is going to be something significant. The question of course has been what news is going to come out of this, what we havent heard before. The white house is being facetious about that saying, were not going to rule out theres not going to be a big announcement.
