next fall. we're joined now by jonathan allen from politico. reshaping how both party goes into the midterms now, how is that? >> two weeks ago it looked like republicans were in trouble with the shutdown, voters were very angry with them for that. now it's the president and his parties that's in trouble it could mean that the democrats lose the senate, certainly makes it almost impossible for them to win the house if voters blame them and if this obamacare website doesn't get functioning well. it's a real flip in fortunes in a very short period of time but one democrats in congress are worried about they are starting to separate from the president, 39 house democrats voted against him on a republican plan this past week that would allow some of those expiring insurance plans to go into the future. this is a crisis moment for the democrats and a lot of them are really angry at the president for letting them go out and repeat the promises he was making on obamacare that didn't turn out to be true. >> jeff: the president doesn't have to worry about re-election. but what is the white house strategy now at this point?

>> well, there is really no agenda until this website gets taken care of, until obamacare gets implemented and if he's not able to save democratic seats at the polls, if he's not able to turn that script around can forget about having an a gain in the final two years of his presidency when you have a republican party anxious to get its candidate into the white house. >> glor: jonathan allen from "politico", thank you very much. >> my pleasure. >> glor: a major loss in the literary world today. famed writer doris lessing has died. lessing a british author of more than 50 works is perhaps best known for her "the golden notebook" awarded the nobel prize in 2007. the academy citing her skepticism, fire and visionary power. >> jeff: doris lessing was 94 years old. later here prince harry walking with wounded warriors.
