confirming he's reprizing his role as jason bourn. what super hero outed him first? this is "way too early." ♪ >> hope you had a great weekend, i'm thomas roberts, welcome to "way too early." the show that knows if you're going to be a good liar you have to have a great memory. we're going to talk about that coming up. we start in china where president obama is in beijing for the first time since 2009. he is pushing a u.s. supported trade agreement at the economic cooperation summit and will meet with china's president on wednesday. president obama is also scheduled to visit australia in this week-long trip days after democrats lost control of the senate in midterm elections. the president is now taking a greater responsibility for those results and promising to end washington gridlock.

>> also want to ask you about what happened on tuesday. >> the buck stops right here at my desk. whenever as the head of the party it doesn't do well, i have to take responsibility for it. the message that i took from this election, and we have seen this in a number of elections, is people want to see this city work. and they feel as if it's not working. and they know one person in washington and that's the president of the united states. so i've got to make this city work better for them. >> the president is also resisting calls from republicans to wait on immigration reform. president obama says he has given john boehner plenty of time to act on this and is ready to take executive action by the end of the year. >> i told hip at the time, i

have legal authority to make improvements on the system. so john, i'm going to give you some time, but if you can't get it done before the end of the year, i'm going to have to take the steps that i can to improve the system. >> are you saying here today their time has run out? >> their time hasn't run out. i'm going to do what i can do through executive action. it's not going to be everything that needs to get done. and it will take time to put that in place. and in the interim, the minute they pass a bill that addresses the problems with immigration reform, i will sign it and it super cedes whatever actions i take and i'm encouraging them to do so. >> the former democratic governor of vermont says president obama is not the sole responsibility. the candidates lost because they failed to articulate a clear message to voters. >> the republican message was we're not obama.

what was the democrat's message? we're not really either. you cannot win if you are afraid. it felt like it. where is the democratic party? we have to stand for something. >> the former 2004 presidential candidate says he's not going to run again, planning to support hillary clinton if she confirmed that she's returning for president. fo former president george w. bush is speaking out and he promotes the new book on his father. he was quick to weigh in on the question that many political pundits are asking, whether or not his brother jeb is going to run for president in 2016. >> it's a lot of speculation about him. i occasionally feel the speculation by saying that i hope he runs. i think he would be a very good president. >> i think it's 50/50. he and i are very close. on the other hand, he's not here

knocking on my door agonizing about the decision. i would give it a toss-up. i know this about jeb. he's not afraid to succeed. he knows he could do the job, nor is he afraid to fail. >> 41, a portrait of my father, will be released tomorrow. from a former governor to a current one, scott walker fresh off reelection is weighing in on the 2016 debate and he isn't ruling himself out for a potential run himself. walker offered kind words for a fellow wisconsin republican, paul ryan, but was keen to promote governors as the key to vi victory in a potential campaign against a hillary clinton candidate. >> you made a pledge in october you were going to serve all four years. does that pledge still hold? >> my plan was r for four years. but certainly i care deeply about not only my state, but my

country. if we're going to beat hillary clinton in this next election, we have to have a message that says hillary clinton is all about washington. . in many ways she was the big loser on tuesday because she embodies everything that's wrong with washington. we offer a fresh approach. 31 governors have the exec tich experience from outside of washington to provide a much better. alternative to the old, tired, top down approach in washington. overall governors make much better presidents than members of korng. >> congressman ryan might be the only exception. loretta lynch is president obama's pick to be the next attorney general. if confirmed, she would become the first african-american woman to hold this job. president obama praised her qualifications at the white house ceremony held on saturday, but he did not say whether he's going to send that confirmation

to the lame duck senate or to the incoming republican majority. instead saying that he hopes she will be confirmed without delay. president obama says that the u.s. is entering a new phase in its campaign to defeat isis in iraq and syria and he's approved the deployment of 1,500 more than troops to iraq. that doubles the number sent there since june. president obama is insisting they will not be yutzed in a combat. role and will not rule out additional troops in the future. >> we will provide them close air u support once they are prepared to start going on the offense against i'sis. >> will more troops be needed? >> as commander-in-chief, i'm never going to say never, but the kmapders who presented the plan to me say is that we may actually see fewer troops over time because now we're seeing coalition members starting to partner with us on the training

and assist effort. >> there are growing concerns this morning about the fate of isis's leader. the leader was wounded in an air strike in mosul. the pentagon is confirm iing it launched a series of airstrikes on friday, but there's no information that isis leaders are injured or dead. so this information brings us to our twitter question for you this morning. it involves our troops. do you support this move to send as many as 1500 more u.s. troops to iraq and how does this impact your opinion of the post-war strategy? tweet us your most creative answers to us. we'll put the best tweets on later in the show. the two remaining american prisoners being held by north korea are back home safely on u.s. soil. a plane carrying the two landed in washington state late

donuts comes after 11:00 a.m., which they think is a big opportunity. they are already moving in this direction. i think they do some wraps with egg in them and i understand that there's a steak sand wuch. i u don't think it has a hole in the middle, but it represents part of that push into afternoon dining. >> really interesting to see them expand the brand and go in new ways. whatever it takes to stay relevant. still ahead on "way too early," why you don't want to be a chicago fan this morning. green bay decimate the bears in "sunday night football." we'll bring you that action. and frigid temperatures and first snow in parts of the country. look at that shot behind us. that's a live picture from south dakota.
