Felicia Sonmez and Kara Rowland discussed the confrontation expected in the next week between Congress and the White House over spending cuts and a potential government shutdown. They reacted to video clips of the previous day’s Internet addresses by President Obama and Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) in which both called for fiscal responsibility and no government shut down. Both reporters said they did not expect the government to shut down. Topics included entitlements and Social Security, possible areas of compromise and what cuts might be made, the point of view of freshman Republicans, and congressional members' salaries and the fact they would continue to get paid even in a shutdown. They responded to telephone calls and electronic communications.

Current political cartoons were shown at the end of the program. close
