live with a preview from captiol hill. >> reporter: the political stakes are very high for president obama. the speech that he delivers tonight to a joint session of congress could make or break his push for health care reform and that success or failure could define the rest of his presidency. throughout the summer americans have expressed anger and frustration over health care reform and many have asked tough questions. >> if this is bill is so good would you commit to this town hall and to the national audience to making every member of congress subject to the provisions of this bill in its entirety? [ applause ] >> reporter: the president will offer answers in tonight's address to congress. people will come away understanding where he is on these big issues and these big questions. >> reporter: on tuesday, he met with congressional leaders at the white house to talk strategy.

>> we have plenty to work from. >> reporter: however, some real obstacles remain. one sticking.is a public option. republicans are dead set against government-provided health insurance. >> it is government intervention in to the free marketplace. >> reporter: the president's own party is split. conservative democrats say they will side with republicans against the public option, while liberal democrats say no public option means no bill. >> he needs to draw a firm line in the sand and say i need it, i want it and i'm prepared to fight for it. >> reporter: another issue is if americans who opt out of the insurance should be fined. whatever version the house passes it will most likely include a public option. whatever version the senate passes will not that means they will need to be reconciled in a joint session with house and senate leaders and that means whatever final version that could be up for a vote won't be until fall.

armando trull for 9 news now and wusa9.com. yesterday the president delivered his much-anticipated pep talk to american students. he spoke around noon in arlington, virginia. the address was available to classrooms across the country. the president left politics out of his remark and focused on the students. >> that's why today i'm calling on each of you to set your goals for your education and do everything you can to meet them. it can be simple as simple as doing your home work, paying attention in class or spending time each day reading a book. maybe you will decide to stand up for kids that are teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look. >> reporter: some con federal reserve servetives called it leftist indoctrine nation. several parents chose to keep their children out of school for the day. teachers in rockville hood high school had their televisions on during the

speech. students say they enjoyed the pep talk and some say it reminded them of what their parents would tell them. >> i thought, as a whole, it was useful to have words of encouragement from the president of the united states. >> i think that if president obama's speech could motivate a student somewhere in the united states to do well on his or her tests then it was a good minutes of our 20 minutes in class to listen to the speech. >> the cafeteria was open to students that didn't want to see the speech but we're told the cafeteria remained empty. you can hear what students in virginia lad to say about the president's remarks at wusa9.com. the district spent $41 million on the summer jobs program. that down from last year but significantly higher than similar programs in most big cities. almost 20,000 young people took part in the program this year. that's more than all other

large american cities except new york. some critics of the program say it is too expensive while the district deals with a budget deficit but the mayor says it is valuable because it keeps young people off the streets and out of trouble. virginia governor kaine has ordered $1.35 billion in cuts to the state fund. while there are cuts to all areas state-supported colleges are among the hardest hit. they will take a $2 million cut. it doesn't sit well with students that could lose financial aid. >> it is unheard of customerring the struggling we are already going through. >> education is the fundamental aspect of a healthy society. >> reporter: there's good news on the public school funding, no cuts for them since their budgets are already in place. jessica doyle is here with
