7:02 am
latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. it appears patience is wearing thin in the room where the president is meeting at the white house with eight top congressional leaders. both sides accuse the other of moving the goal posts, of failing to lead, and now it appears the president has had enough. they may have been all smiles at the start of the meeting. but tensions flared after house majority leader eric cantor, a republican from virginia, repeatedly proposed a series of short-term extensions of the debt limit if a larger deal proved unattainable. i said i was willing to come off my insistence one vote he told reporters afterwards. i asked the president would that be something he would consider? well, that's when he got very agitated seemingly and said that he has sat here long enough and that no other president, ronald reagan wouldn't sit here like this and that he has reached a point that something's got to give. cantor says the president shoved back his chair and walked out. a description democrats and the
7:03 am
white house dispute. when cantor tried to argue for a third time about doing a short-term deal, he was shut down and sat ashen face with a lump in his throat. the president finished the meeting speaking several minutes woe not be deterred in doing what is best for the country. democrats contend the two sides are making progress despite the acrimony. democrats still want to eliminate certain tax deductions for the wealthy while republicans want spending cuts equal to or greater than the 2.5 trillion dollar debt limit crease on the table. august 2nd deadline nearing moody's putting the bond rating unreview and ben bernanke warned congress a default could be catastrophic. >> there could have to be significant cuts in social security, medicare, military pay or some combination of those. >> reporter: the president and
7:04 am
congressional leaders are going to go back at it today. sit down again and talk and the president, we're told, has given them until friday to try and define the contours of a larger deal if they can't reach that deal by then, he has told them they need to drill down and figure out what they achieve. >> another deadline. cbs' nancy cordes for us, thank you. joining us now what he is hearing about the conflicting accounts is cbs senior white house correspondent bill plante. what are the ones in the room saying? >> reporter: good morning. the democrats familiar with the debt negotiations, as they prefer to be called around here, say that cantor's account is completely overblown. they say, people in the room say that mr. obama told the leaders enough is enough with delay and refusal to compromise. let's stop the posturing and positioning and stop catering to the political base and let's start compromising. a republican source quoted the president saying would ronald reagan be sitting here? i have reached my limit. this may bring my presidency
7:05 am
down, but i will not yield on this. after a version of those exchanges, the president pushed back his chair and left the room saying, "i'll see you tomorrow." but according to democrats in the room, he did not storm out. before he left, as nancy said, the president told them that they have got until friday to figure this out or something has to be done. now, all of this drama is a huge distraction, of course. in today's meeting, talk about the possible payroll tax cut and enforcement mechanisms for cutting and spending. one source says if they can make a little progress on that, they will be closer to a deal. chris? >> cbs' bill plante for us, thank you. failure to reach a deal on raising the debt limit could affect the average american. rebecca jarvis is here with more on that angle for us. >> good morning. as all of the attention is focused on who said what in washington, americans across the
7:06 am
country are beginning to fear the consequences if the debt issues aren't resolved quickly. >> i cannot guarantee that those checks go out on august 3rd if we haven't resolved this issue. >> reporter: when the president said social security checks may not go out on time next month, seniors across the country took notice. >> the president -- >> when i saw that, it shocked me but i said, no, this cannot happen, not in this country. >> reporter: 80-year-old cora meruelo is terrified about the government being late on a payment. if it comes for that she may not be able to pay for her heart medication. >> if i don't get social security how can i cover my expenses? >> i don't know how any of us will survive without it. >> reporter: 55 million americans receive social security checks every month and the thought of having to live without those checks, even for a few days, is unthinkable. >> i may be able to pay my rent,
7:07 am
but, you know, i'd have to not eat, you know? have you been to the supermarket lately. >> reporter: experts say delaying social security isn't just a scare tactic, but a definite possibility. >> unless that debt limit is increased, i think social security recipients are in line, along with everyone else, to get the limited amount of cash that is going to be available to the government, starting early in august. >> reporter: while most believe the washington debate will eventually be resolved and any delay would be temporary, seniors across the country are hoping politics can be put aside sooner, rather than later. >> senators and congressmen don't get social security, they get really big pensions for life, so i don't think they really care whether anybody else out there starves. >> clearly, no one is taking this lightly. >> folks depend on it. rebecca, thanks. there is news this morning of another arrest in the phone hacking scandal in britt.

7:12 am
gadhafi forces they say about four miles or so down the road that way. one difference today is you can't hear it right now but a few minutes ago, the sound of jets in the air, presumably nato air cover. this is the fringe of the area that the rebels control, about a hundred-mile strip that runs from here back towards the tu niecian border. the issue now is whether to push forward to the town of garan a major crossroads which would open up the route to tripoli. the real question, though, is whether these guys are prepared to make that kind of move and the indications now in terms of weapons and control and tactics is that they aren't. mark phillips, cbs news, in qualish, libya. the murder of 8-year-old liba. a suspect erin is in custody

michele bachmann has gotten mixed reviews. her stand on the debt ceiling is criticized for blocking a possible deal. outside of washington voters are liking what they see. >> president obama is holding the full faith and credit of the united states hostage so that he can continue his spending spree. hi, everybody! >> reporter: challenging the president on the debt ceiling debate, michele bachmann is the candidate on the rise. recent polls show she's leading mitt romney in iowa, the latest release wednesday of likely iowa caucus goers has her with a 13 point edge, 29% to romney's 16% and she's resonating with voters across the country, moving up eight points and ahead of sarah palin in the latest poll of republican voters nationwide and into second place behind romney. that's more than double what she was polling last month before her strong performance in the new hampshire debate. but her new prominence also is bringing tough scrutiny.
7:34 am
critics have challenged many of her assertions. >> we must make a bold choice. >> reporter: this week she was hit with criticism she's anti-gay and therapist at her husband's counseling practice tried to help make gay clients go straight. her husband denies those reports and bachmann is keeping her focus on key political issues like spending cuts. for months she's made clear where she stands on the debt ceiling. highlighting in her campaign ads. >> i will not vote to increase the debt ceiling. >> reporter: bachmann insists there's no need to increase the debt ceiling and says president obama is exaggerating the risk of a default. >> we cannot go on scaring the american people. we need to be truthful, and i call on the president and the treasury secretary to tell the truth to the american people. >> reporter: sarah palin has been watching this from the side lines but last night she told fox's sean hannity she'll make a
7:35 am
decision by august. >> i would offer myself in the name of service knowing confidently that i have those common sense fiscally conservative pro private sector policy experience and ideas that can be put to good work for this country. >> reporter: now if palin were to get in, that obviously could really slow down bachmann's rise. if palin gets in, erica that could change in, i'm not talking about moving pieces around on the chess board, that would turn the chess board completely upside down. we'll know soon enough. >> yes we will. we bring in cbs news political analyst john dickerson. good to have you with us this morning. quickly when it comes to sarah palin she said she's going to say something soon, probably august. do you think she's made up her mind at this point? >> it's hard to know with sarah palin. we have the periodic moments where she disappears for a little while and comes back on the scene. she's on the cover of "newsweek"
7:36 am
magazine. she's hinting and flirting, seems like she's reasserting herself in the moment when michele bachmann is on the rise and in the debt negotiations so she looks like she's doing something. >> michelle bamichellebachmann race, seeing a rise in iowa. what is giving her this momentum, john? >> we always knew there would be two primaries in the republican primary, in the establishment, mitt romney is ahead and the anti-romney candidate, somebody else who represents the kind of core conservatives, the movement conservatives and that's the group that michele bachmann is at the head of and speaks for so she is rising up in that group, they like what she's saying. they used to say you can't run as a politician from washington but she's using that as her strength. she's saying i'm in washington fighting the establishment and that's working well for her.
7:37 am
>> jan, rick perry could decide by labor day whether or not he's jumping in. what is he waiting on? >> he's waiting on the end of the legislative session, now had minor back surgery and also going to see how things play out the rest of the month going into that straw poll in iowa in the middle of august but my sources say that he is going to get in this race obviously that will have a huge impact on bachmann and other people who as john says are trying to be that alternative to mitt romney so he would really shake things up if he gets in. it will be interesting to see what voters say about the candidates. when i was in iowa and here's what's remarkable about michele bachmann. over and over and over people said to me she's so genuine, she's so real. there's something about her that comes across as this authentic, real person and voters really feel like they can relate to that. she speaks for them. >> so john, how would that translate on a national level? >> well this is the challenge for michele bachmann is that e
7:38 am
authenticity in iowa, key state for her, born there, that translates well for her in her constituent but in other states she needs to find a way to be authentic and support a specific portion of the party but show she can play on the national level. is she a contender? how would she look against barack obama, how do people see her in the oval office. at the moment she's a force but the question is, is she is a contender. >> and with rick perry perhaps jumping in, could shake things up. anybody else that either one of you have heard of, who may be jumping in besides palin and perry at this point? >> erica, everyone's been throwing out names for mud because people think the field is rather week. we're seeing bachmann picking up steam, hints that perry is going to get in, the field is looking settled. you hear things maybe new jersey governor chris christie is going to get in, even though he's said 1,000 times he's not.
7:39 am
john, what do you think? >> nobody else is out there, and even perry or palin, the challenge is getting in late is not easy. this is a difficult thing to run for president and it's a long, hard slog and so these supercandidates who might sweep in out of the wings it ain't going to be so easy for them. >> thank you both. just ahead the u.s. soccer team on the quest for a second world cup championship. we're cheering them on all the way. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. ♪

8:01 am
how bad it can be. >>. it can be a flat tire and two hours of traffic. we sympathize for them in los angeles. welcome back. i'm chris wrag lee along with erica hill. traffic is moving smoothly so far, but we still have an hour to go. >> we do. we'll keep it going smoothly heading it off to jeff glor with a check on the headlines this morning. we'll go our best to crash and burn this morning. good morning, guys. talks on the debt limit resume today with a deadline. president obama has told congressional leaders they much reach some sort of deal by tomorrow. cbs news senior white house corp upon dent correspondent bill plante is live with more. >> reporter: jeff, good morning. they were the tensest yet according to all sources, but there are different verses of what happened inside that room. some republicans say that the president blew his top, but democrats say that he simply took a firm stand. after the photo op was over the smiles apparently dropped and
8:02 am
the debate heated up. house minority leader eric cantor says the two-hour meeting ended with a threat from the president after hearing short-term extensions if they couldn't agree on a bigger deal. i said i was willing to come off my insistence that come through with a vote. so i asked the president would that be something that he would consider. well, that's when he got very agitated seemingly and said that no other president, ronald reagan, would sit here like this and that he's reached a point that something's got to give. eric, don't call my bluff, the president warned. i'm going to the american people with this. and with that eric said abruptly he shoved back his chair and left thement radio. he insists that mr. obama left on much better terms simply saying enough is enough, see you tomorrow. despite the drama the president and congressional leaders are meeting again tomorrow and every day in d.c. others on capitol hill are not
8:03 am
so open to negotiations. >> president obama, quit lagging. >> this scathing rant was posted to the internet accusing the president of using scare tactics for political purposes. >> you know darn well if august 2nd comes and goes there's plenty of money to pay off our debt. >> reporter: wednesday a rating service warned with the deadline looming it was putting america's triple-rating bond under review. if there's any good news here it is that at today's meeting scheduled for later this afternoon there are actual items on the agenda like extending the payroll taxes and getting more revenues. it is still possible progress can be made. chris? >> thank you, bill. i'll take it here. in new york last night the funeral for a murdered 8-year-old leiby kletzky had thousands turn out in brooklyn. parents let him walk home from camp alone for the very first

time. a suspect was arrested after police found part of the boy's body in his freezer. the commissioner ray kelly said it was a random act of violence. >> it is extremely sad and it is extremely rare to have this as an outcome for a missing child. but as we said, this is every parent's nightmare. we understand that. so it makes this so horrific. >> absolutely terrifying case. police say that the suspect told them where to find the boy's remains. former first lady betty ford will be buried today in michigan. this morning long lines of people waited to file past her casket during a public viewing at the gerald ford presidential museum in grand rapids. hundreds of mourners were already on hand when the casket arrived. betty ford died at age 93 on friday. she'll be buried this afternoon next to her husband. four minute past the hour now on this thursday, it is thursday, correct? >> i believe it is. it does feel like a long week,

this weather report sponsored by this weather report sponsored by expedia. the best travel tools are all in one place. where you book matters, ek expedia. >> that's your latest weather. here's erika. the traditional nicknames for weather marines may not conjure up the image of a woman, but my how times are changing. last month the first female began commanding the training grounds in south carolina. cbs news correspondent russ
8:07 am
mitchell has her story. >> reporter: this is parris island, south carolina. and the sign makes clear on the way in here is where they make marines. and now this marine factory has a new foreman. >> what i'm asking you to do -- >> reporter: or correct me, forewoman. i have to ask you when you found out you were getting this post, what was your first reaction? >> you know, i mean, there are times now that i wake up in the morning and say, am i really here? am i really here at parris island? >> reporter: on june 17th she's already made history as the first woman to leave the marine recruiting folk here. as a distinction she acknowledges but won't dwell on. >> am i a trailblazer here at the depot? yes, i'm the first female. i'm the first woman in the history books and now will move
8:08 am
on. for the women behind me, they will will hopefully benefit from the things i have done. but i do think of myself as a pioneer. >> reporter: she may not think of herself as a pioneer but she's forging new ground. in fact, reynolds is one of only two female generals now active in the marine corps. at six feet tall she cuts an impressive imposing figure, but it is her stay chur as a leader earning her respect. a 1986 graduate and former basketball player at the naval academy she's the first female marine to hold a position in a battleground, like she did while positioned in afghanistan. now not just with the marines but to create them as well. >> at the end of the day we push them to be more than they think they can be. >> reporter: physically and mentally. for many the enduring image of
8:09 am
parris island comes from the vietnam film. hollywood's version is not that far off. this is a tough place. we joined general reynolds as she observed her first crews ball. a 54-hour test of strength, endurance and teamwork that each recruit must passed before being called a united states marine. any idea how tough it is to become a marine? >> it's the hardest we can make it. and we have to make it hard because our nation expects the united states marine corps to be the 911 force to always be ready, to always do the right thing. >> reporter: parris island graduates 20,000 marines every year. male recruits from east of the mississippi and all female recruits here. >> i get the pleasure from
8:10 am
watching from the very beginning until the day they march across the parade deck friday morning as young marines. it is an honor, a blessing and it is a tremendous responsibility. and i'm going to work hard every day to take good care of this depot and the marines here. >> reporter: it's a promise these future marines and all of the nation's busy servicemen and women around the world are counting on. russ mitchell, cbs news, parris island, south carolina. just ahead on "the early show" the budget cutbacks in one school district, did they lead to the death of a 10 yield student? we'll look at the growing shortage of school nurses and how parents can protect their children. this is "the early show" on cbs. booking a flight by itself is an uh-oh. see if we can "stitch" together a better deal. that's a hint, antoine. ooh! see what anandra did? booking your flight and hotel at the same time gets you
8:11 am
8:12 am
8:13 am
8:14 am
cutbacks happening one on campus is no longer the case. >> reporter: in tacoma, washington, 10-year-old mercedes meres took the school bus with her sister every day, but the ride on october 7th, 2008, would become her last. >> she left for school at about 8:05 or 8:06 in the morning. she was fine. next thing i know i got a call that she had an asthma attack and they called the emt. >> reporter: the family said even though the school had a plan of action and an epipen in case, mercedes didn't get her medication or cpr. school officials called an ambulance but it was too late. mercedes died in the hospital that morning. >> no one attempted cpr, no one put her care plan into place, nothing. >> reporter: due to cutbacks there were only 11 full-time nurses to cover 18,000 students in the bethel school district. this is not just a problem in washington state. nationwide there's no standard
8:15 am
for school health care. if you live in vermont, you have one school nurse to just over 300 students. if you live in michigan, you have one school nurse to just under 5,000 students. so there's a great range of what children are receiving in the united states for school health services. >> reporter: and as schools suffer budget cuts, school nurses are becoming scarce. >> it is not a shortage of nurses, it is a shortage of funded positions. school districts need to make that a priority and need to have a funded position available for a school nurse to be in the building. >> reporter: the school acknowledges they could use more funding and more help. >> certainly, i think every school district could use more nurses. oftentimes it is a matter of funding and finding personnel to staff those positions. >> reporter: janette meres says the lack of a school nurse not only contributed to mercedes' death but also killed the heartbeat of her family. >> i don't see it as being a
8:16 am
paramount. >> the meres family filed a lawsuit against the district seeking $15 million in damages. joining us from washington is amay garcia of the american nurses association. good to have you with us. >> good morning to you. >> we see kids like mercedes meres right there. it is a case with tracking consequence there is. on a national scale, how often are we seeing things like this happening with a shortage of nurses out there in schools? >> i know it happens way too often. parents should be able to send their child to the school and know they will come home unharmed or actually come home. and on a shortage of nurses, i would say that in schools it is a shortage of funded positions for nurses. it is typically not a problem filling them when there's a funded position. >> so basically you are saying school districts need to appropriate more funds to have nurses on hand at the school. i just want to throw one number
8:17 am
out there. as of 2010 more than 50% of public schools across the u.s. do not have a full-time registered nurse. 25% of schools have no nurse at all. now you think it is a financial thing, why isn't it getting more attention or why are school districts not doing more? >> well, what's fascinating to me is that parents in vermont have prioritized this. and parents in other places have not necessarily raised their voices. in the state of washington where mercedes and her family lived, there was one nurse per roughly 2,031 kid. parents should be asking is there a nurse in my school, and will there be somebody to take care? because the school says it is not a big deal. our school secretary or parent educator can do this, but there is a value in actually being a registered nurse because registered nurses know how to
8:18 am
assess the kids, plan for their care, how to treat and how to respond to an emergency. >> amy garcia, thank you for taking the time. we appreciate you speaking with us this morning. >> thank you very much. >> all right. coming up next, carmageddon is coming to los angeles. it is not a film starring ben affleck. we'll tell you why the residents are freaking out about it. we'll be right back. this is "the early show" here on cbs. defend your choice every day with fiber choice. visit fiberchoice.com for more. to stay healthy. but did you know fiber choice can help support your overall well-being? every tasty tablet has prebiotic fiber from fruits and veggies... that lets your good bacteria thrive and helps support your immune system. fiber choice. an easy way to defend your health everyday. learn more about prebiotics and get a free sample at fiberchoice.com.

8:21 am
dubbed the nation's busiest freeway usually looks, 500,000 cars travel ten miles linking west los angeles to the highly populated san fernando valley. because this stretch is so heavily traveled it needs to be widened, and to be widened, it needs to be completely shut down. >> even if we get the message out to half the people it means 250,000 people are trying to use that road. >> reporter: from friday night to monday morning traffic could be backed up for as much as 64 miles as thousands of commuter twhos rely on the freeway find other ways to get around. los angeles residents have a word for what's to come, carmageddon. even actor eric estrada is getting the word out. >> avoid the area or just stay home. >> reporter: this doctor at a nearby ucla hospital knows where he'll be spending the weekend. >> staying in my office. i'm sleeping here.
8:22 am
>> reporter: and the hospital support staff will also be roughing it, sleeping on cots in a nearby not yet occupied medical office tower. >> i'll be staying here for four days. it's going to be like a vacation. >> reporter: still many are capitalizing on the expected catastrophe. >> thought poke fun at it, make a little money along the way. >> reporter: the freeway might be empty and the skies might be full. for $4 jetblue will fly you over the mess and 400 bucks a local helicopter company will give you and a friend a birds eye view. >> booked about 15 tours so far, expecting anywhere from 80 to 100. >> reporter: the last time los angeles warned to expect this level of gridlock was during the 1984 olympics, so many people were scared off the roads traffic was a breeze, maybe this happy history will repeat itself and this time will be calmag

8:38 am
country. his near magical methods provided real life inspiration for the novel and film "the horse whisperer." >> it's not like a take a hold of a horse's ear like it's an old-fashioned telephone and speak into it but the communication with the horse really is your body language, your presence. that's why a lot of people don't get along too good with horses because they underestimate how much he is really taking in, how much he's aware of. >> reporter: instead of using traditional methods to break a horse with whips, ropes and fear buck believes in creating a relationship with respect and instinct. >> one of the biggest challenges of a horseman is to to be able to control your emotions. >> reporter: a philosophy forged from a violent childhood at the hands of his abusive childhood. >> just to glance at him across the room might provoke him into coming and beating you up. the horses when i first went to
8:39 am
live with my foster parents, were my refuge, that's where i went to hide. one thing i started off with was an empathy for the horse, and then as my understanding grew with the horses, then i started to learn how to help them. a lot of times, rather than helping people with horse problems, i'm helping horses with people problems. >> reporter: that desire to help led him to train other horse owners. it was at one of his clinics that artist cindy neal became a buck convert. >> i'd been riding horses all my life and never seen it this way. it seems like mental telepathy, the horse is reading his thoughts. he established this language so beautiful and yet simplistic and we can all do it. >> every movement you make on a horse, there is a perfect position of balance. >> reporter: cindy was so inspired she wanted to make a documentary about buck and his method, despite having no film experience. >> i went up to him and i asked
8:40 am
him and i thought well if he says no, i'm off the hook. >> i had said no many times over the years about people who wanted to document what i do, and she just have just caught me at the right time and i said "well, go ahead." >> reporter: what cindy captured in her directorial debut "buck" won over many who have never had a horse encounter. >> i don't know what you're trying to prove. >> reporter: with lessons more often about humans than horses. >> if you got a lot going on in your life, probably a lot it's a lot bigger story than this horse. >> he sneaks in all these life lessons when he's talking about horses. it's really a metaphor, for people. >> sound fair? >> look at buck's life and his transformation and realize that it doesn't matter what's happened in your past, that you, too, can leave that baggage behind and start today, and do whatever you want. >> it will make you better in
8:41 am
areas you didn't think related to horses. >> reporter: what you learned from buck did that completely change your relationship with your horses? >> totally, totally. there you go. there's a new respect that we have. they're just so with you. it's such a different feeling. there's no pulling, yanking, you know. it's just, it's a dance. it's a glide. >> reporter: such is the legacy buck hopes to leave to the equestrian community. what do you love most about what you do? >> there's been a lot of horses over the years where people would say just so you know, this is our last stop. all i know is if it doesn't work, they're done, and thousands and thousands of horses over the years have ended up living a long life with the person once they understood each other. everybody wins. >> reporter: it's such a beautiful sentiment to see he was born out of this abusive childhood, such a great message
8:42 am
applies to dogs and children. is he traveling around doing clinics? >> travels nine months out of the year, constantly on the road. this is his life, isn't something he does just for the cameras. >> does he travel himself? seems soft spoken, a fairly private guy. is he, does he keep to himself or have other folks that help him out and go with him? >> he spends time with the people at his clinics but a family man. his wife and daughters are such a major part of his life as is his foster mother, betsy shirley and incredible. >> beautiful film. >> wonderful piece. >> katrina thanks. here's chris. thank you, the final installment of the harry potter series hits theaters tomorrow. the series has plenty of fans among grownups. michelle miller has more on the multigenerational appeal of the boy wizard. >> our world has faced no greater threat than it does

today. >> reporter: few works of children's fiction make it to the big screen, even fewer manage to cross that generational divide. >> there hasn't been a single harry potter movie that let me down. >> reporter: as far as sun moon and his daughter remi are concerned -- >> harry potter! >> i got hooked on it and couldn't stop. >> reporter: harry potter has worked wonders on their relationship. did it bring you and your daughter closer? >> i think it did. >> yeah it did, i think so. i think so, yes. >> we had a lot of talks about it. >> oh, yeah, all the time. >> reporter: though they don't always agree. >> did you like snakes? >> at first i didn't like him at all. i thought he was creepy. >> j.k. rowling voted this world simultaneously captive to children and adults. >> i liked magic when i was young and i guess i still like
8:44 am
magic. >> a grown man would love this series because a, he's still a child at heart but they have all sorts of things that are sophisticated that a child can sort of understand but an adult can understand more fully. >> you're a really good teacher harry. >> i'm supposed to enjoy harry potter because of my children but in fact i do personally really enjoy reading and watching the movie. i admit it. >> reporter: and waiting for each chapter to unfold in real time is part of the thrill that moon fears will be lost when the final film opens at midnight. >> every summer, every year we would talk about it. there was always anticipation. >> reporter: and there lies the question, will the next generation of potter fans feel the same magic? >> the books are a masterpiece of fiction writing and people will come back to these for generations to come. >> reporter: moon's not so sure but remains confident the final chapter of the story he shared with his daughter for most of her life won't disappoint.
