This is the cbs morning news for wednesday, october 2nd, 2013. Good morning. Good to be with you. Im annemarie green. Well, as the federal Government Shutdown enters its second day, theres no progress toward a resolution to report. Democrats and republicans are blaming each other. Party leaders on both sides of the aisle warn the budget battle could last for weeks and could morph into an even larger battle over the debt ceiling. Susan mcginnis is in washington. Susan, good morning. Good morning, annemarie. There was some back and forth here on capitol hill, some billed proposed that take sort of a piecemeal approach to reopening the government, but most of it was finger pointing here at congress and the white house as americans across the country begin to feel the impact. Day two of the first Government Shutdown begins and theres no resolution in sight. One leading republican says the shutdown alone may not bring democrats and republicans together. Most budget agreements in the past have always involved debt limit increases. Thats what we think will be the force in action to bring the two parties together. But a group of moderate republicans say its time to pass a funding bill even if its without proposals from the more conservative members of the party to weaken the Affordable Care act. Its not clear yet which of those factions is going to win out. Last night the house tried to pass three bills to fund parts of the government. Democrats stand firm and say its all or nothing. Now theyre focusing trying to cherrypick some of the few parts of government that they like. As lawmakers debate, americans across the country are feeling the impact of the shutdown from closed museums and parks to federal workers forced off the job. This is not how you run a country. If thats what theyre in there, then they need to be removed themselves. Then theyll understand how it feels to go without money, without a paycheck. Joe brought his family to the air force museum in dayton, ohio. The plane he flew was inside behind a locked gate. That was very, very important to see where he sat, what he did. Im sorry. I simply cant say anymore. The u. S. Economy is losing 33 million each day the government remains closed. Now, those three bills could come up again today here in congress. Also there might be another that would reopen the National Institutes of health hospital. Thats after word that hundreds of patients are not going to be accepted, included children with cancer who go there to seek experimental treatment. Annemarie . Wow. And its only just begun, susan. Susan mcginnis in washington, thank you. The main budget holdup is the battle over president obamas formal health care law. Open enrollment in the Affordable Care act started yesterday, and as predicted there were technical glitches including stalled websites and error messages among others. President obama said the demand exceeded expectations. There were five times more users in the marketplace this morning than have ever been on medicare. Gov at one time. That gives you a sense of how important this is to millions of americans around the country. Wyatt andrews takes a closer look at obama cares first day of business. Reporter as millions of people flooded the website, the website temporarily broke under the strain. The main page went from aplow now to please wait. Then the website went down. Several States Running their own exchanges also had delays. In washington state, the website closed down. Administration officials said the federal site was overwhelmed by 2. 8 million visitors, a number they never expected. White house Senior Adviser david simas said the problems drew an all out response. We expected a slow rampup and what we saw today was an overwhelming response that exceeded even what weve seen in medicare on any given day. So it was a good start. We identified problems. Tomorrows going to be better. Reporter despite the delays and inconvenience, the white house argued the high numbers were a sign of intense interest in obama care. California alone saw 1. 7 million hits on its website in the first hour. Connecticut reported 130,000 hits. Maryland, 87,000. What the administration is not reporting is how many people actually enrolled on tuesday. Some of thats because officials wont know until people sign a contract with an Insurance Company and make a down payment. But we also know these firstday problems are what stopped many people from signing up. Wyatt andrews, cbs news, washington. Police removed what they describe as a destructive device from Jacksonville International airport in florida. The airport is open for business this morning.

The investigators are still searching for evidence. 67 people were killed by the militants during the fourday siege. And shopkeepers say there is widespread evidence of looting. Many are blaming Kenyan Security forces. Its unclear if the mall will reopen. At united nations, israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced irans efforts to ease tensions with the u. S. He called irans president Hasan Rouhani a wolf in sheeps clothing. Last week he said he was willing to discuss the Nuclear Program but netanyahu speaking yesterday said the iranian president was not to be trusted. I wish we could believe rouhanis words, but we must focus on irans actions. And its the brazen contrast, the extraordinary contradiction between rouhanis words and irans actions that is so startling. Netanyahu said israel will act alone if need be to prevent iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Well, coming up on the morning news, the search for suspects.
