Of our own accord using the kinetics we have seen. We have seen Good Progress but it is insufficient and we will continue to lean on that. As it relates to the political process, we have through secretary kerrys efforts in the geneva process a pathway forward for the parties to work. And the biggest and most immediate challenge, i think particularly as it relates to the spillover is had refuge challenge and we will continue to work that. Continue to work that including perhaps opening our doors to more refuges . Not opening our doors but rather continuing decades long and generations long tradition of maintaining the doors open in this country as a source of refuge to to the worlds most vulnerable. That has been the case, i think admirably since our earliest days. In the first term an official told me once of the conversation with the president in which the president was asked how do you wish to be remembered context was Foreign Policy and the president answered he wanted to be remembe
And graphics and presentations. Perhaps you feel as i do, every time we have not won a Pulitzer Prize is a great injustice. Apparently you do. But we know the truth and the truth no matter how much or organizations and journalist cawe covet this and should be heartened by the experts we see in the finalist. Amid this year of celebrations, it is worth reflecting that the pulitzers represents standards. High standards in an era where we have seen standards erode or under frontal assault. When we see distortion and disception and lazy reporting, the pulitzers remind us week take a different route. In pointing us in that direction, the value of the pulitzer is greater than it has ever been. Today we have two sessions that will allow us to do what the pulitzers sask us to do; dig deep. The second is an interview by eugene robison. Winner for columns during a historic election. The first panel will address the oba administration. Joel becker will joe becker will be the questioning person. He
Hurricane at sandy. The president will join president clinton and a monday afternoon campaign appearance. Mitt romney has scrubbed his appearances today, instead spending the next two days in ohio. Just over one week ago in the campaign. We will be talking about early voting on the washington journal. We want to begin with the what this question. What if it is not decided on election day . What if there is a recount or multiple recounts . Lets begin with some news of the morning. The front page of the New York Times. Marty it is now counted by county. It is now county by county. There is also this from the washington post. Va. Even as being scrubbed for a number of candidates. The scheduled destruction did not stop the two candidates from delivering attacks on each other yesterday. The president of using his of parents to accuse mitt romney of raising taxes on middle class when he was governor of massachusetts. The question we are focusing on this morning is, what if there is an electi
How to out the debate in the head to think about how aggressive july look, how aggressive do myself . It was so clear that mitt romney who could be oisin in the program was never going to flinch, never going to show a flash of anger and its clear barack obama in every debate does not like mitt romney. By the end of you saw there was a shot on some of the different shows where you could see both of them at the table he looked like by the time he was going to be on top of mitt romney. He felt so agitated i think. He finds we hear this from a lot he finds that romney to be dishonest and almost every answer he gives and therefore he almost seasons with anger when he talks to reduce bernanke guilaume that might come obama, he said two weeks ago that what you said. The air brushed history. Rachel, did you have a thought on that . Thats been proven ongoing narrative that connects all of these including the Vice President ial debate putative how aggressive should you be, how do you come out as
Let me finish tonight with this. At the risk of challenging the conventional wisdom, a risk ive spent much of my life taking, i see no reason to accept some grand deal among the president , the house democrats, and House Republicans. Why on god earth would a republican member of Congress Interest in protecting himself or herself politically vote to raise taxes on those he represents . Why .

So this odd republican out there is going to both raise taxes and make his somewhat better off voters pay more for health care . No way. We really dont need to get to the liberals, progressives, but just for the sake of candor, why on this gods earth would a good democrat need to cut or i dont get why people are talking about a deal, that no politician out there worried about his or her reelection or renomination would ever want to i can mmake. The truth of what im saying
