republicans on capitol hill. the president is talking business leaders, celebrities in the hispanic community, trying to prep them for 2012. democrats need their votes, but they are frustrated because comprehensive reform never happened and also because this administration deported a record number of people, at least in the last year. the president facing a little bit of a challenge from both sides here. he will likely address that in his speech in el paso today. laura. >> we'll be listening. thank you very much. back here live in hayward, waiting for the sun to come up. it's always coldest before it arrives. hopefully a nice day in the area. good morning to christina loren. >> it's chilly to start, but we are going to be perfect. if you are tough enough, throw an extra blanket on tonight. don't run the heater. give your pg&e bill a break. today, we are not dealing with
