nbc's kristin welker joins us live from the white house.stin, one imagines that each day the president wakes up believing that the white house -- sorry, that house republicans will see sense and perhaps pursue a more balanced approach and then they come up with another brilliant way to slash discretionary spending, cut programs for the poor. what's the white house saying about republicans' latest budget proposals? >> reporter: well, martin, good afternoon. it's interesting, the white house hasn't officially weighed in really. they say they are reviewing the latest cr proposal by republicans, only saying that the president has specific guidelines that include that it not be political, that it be a practical approach. so they haven't given a specific response to what they think about this. but you're right, the appropriations level has been set at a lower level in part because of the sequester. remember, democrats and the senate are going to put their own plan forward in the coming days, so we'll have to wait and see how those negotiations pa

that is still a long ways off. >> kristin, one question about the bill signing. violence against women act into law and offering a hearty thank you to his vice president joe biden who, of course, had originally drafted that very bill. >> reporter: yeah, martin, i think that that was -- there were some emotional moments certainly during that bill signing ceremony. vice president biden introduced the original bill back in 1994, and then it had some trouble passing. republicans weren't willing to pass it. finally it did pass, and the president today sort of celebrating the bill, talking about the fact that it represents an expansion of preventing violence against women but also same-sex couples, also for those who live on tribal lands. so this really represents an expansion of the violence against women act so the president celebrating that today. martin? >> kristin welker live for us at the white house. >> reporter: thanks, martin. >> much more ahead. first, sue herera has the cnbc market wrap. >> good afternoon. good to see you. another positive day on wall street

i want to bring in nbc's kristin welker live at the white house.stin, i know you were reporting from outside the briefing room, but as i watched the president from here, it seemed as though this sequester business has become extremely personal for the president. would you agree? >> reporter: well, i think that's right to some extent, martin, and you heard him say this is a loss for the american people to some extent, an acknowledgment that washington has failed the american people in this instance. as you point out, he held that 3res conference for 35 minutes, answered a number of questions, in part explaining what this really means for the rest of the country. not just washington gobbledygook as he said but really what the real world implications will be. so that is sort of the personal side of this for president obama. now, of course, there is a political side to this as well. the american public if you look at the polls, they are on his side when it comes to getting a deal done. they do want to see a deal that includes new revenues as well as sp

so kristin, i want to talk to you about this.e said, look, i think the party should change our position on gay marriage. it's not about talking about it or not talking about it. we need to change our position and get closer to where the american public is. do you agree? >> i think that the party needs to showcase the diversity of opinion that is within its ranks currently. so think about it. young voters broke heavily for president obama back in 2008 when he did not favor same-sex marriage. it was only about a year ago that he evolved on his position. i don't think it's as cut and dry as one party is all in favor and one party is all opposed. i think republicans need to sort of highlight the diversity of opinion. >> how do you do that, quickly? >> i think you can have folks, pick someone like marco rubio, you showed a clip earlier. he believes marriage is between a man and woman but he thinks states should be able to decide what they want to decide. so he has taken this middle position. i think that's an interesting sort of -- it

mayor, kristin, vernal, vernal was rather reserved tonight. last week when we were at macy's during black history month, the first thing she said, "see it?" she has one of those world champions diamond rings. she won't let her husband touch it and she shares with everything and she has two of them now. i thought she would do that again tonight. >> it's your night. >> yes, it's my night so you are being cool. i also noticed that david chew ended up with some friends of his. supervisors. david, would you please take a bow to the rest of your supervisors, malia, campos, the tall man, scottie. stand up scottie. let people see you. mr. farrell? eric maurd, norman yooe, you've got the whole board. oh, my god!. i am just so delighted, christina that mom's at the mayor's office that you altogether decided to do a closing ceremony for black history month. harlem would disagree with you on that because tomorrow there is another harlem kelly version of black history and he's been doing it for years. it's the most inexpensive event that i have ever been t

kristin dolgren, nbc news, oakland. >> now, much more ahead on "today in the bay," including what sanll and won't be headed back to the bay area. >>> good morning. there's lots to do today. as you begin your saturday, i'll start us off with a stop. today is the last of the saturday shows at the planetarium on the college campus. a great place to learn about the red or the blue planet or even listen to pink floyd for their astronomy and laser shows. this is the last of the saturday evening public shows. but they'll start again in september. offerings tonight start at 5:00. tomorrow is st. patrick's day. all the shenanigans kick off today. nbc bay area is proud to be the sponsor as our own dublin hosts the largest festival in the east bay. there's a traffic stopping parade. it's a treat each and every year. taking place right around the dublin civic center. there's a big green deal across the bay too in san francisco. at the san francisco civic center plaza, the theme is honoring the celtic woman. and the parade's grand marshal, the san francisco fire department chief herself. this para

we are going to review the proposed not to exceed rates, director of financial planning kristin hollings will make that presentation and we have our chair rate fairness board on the proposed not to exceed rate. so with that i would like if s f g tv could bring our powerpoint presentation and we'll hear from mr. mets. >> thank you very much. i'm david mets. i'm here to provide you with a brief summary of the results that have survey. it's already been presented to members of the public utilities commission and i will move through it fairly quickly and answer questions you may have. you will see here the methodology of the survey, it tracts the survey that we have conducted for p u c and prior years and we have conducted many interviews in mid-february. those results were statistically weighted. the survey was conducted on land lines and in english, chinese and spanish to not exclude participation. the results of the survey we conducted last year in 2012 as well as an initial survey done in 2011. however, interpreting those results i want to draw cautions about differing methodologies whic

maybe you've heard of them and nbc's kristin dahlgren shows us what it's all about. >> let's go!let's go! >> it used to be a marathon was the ultimate way to push your body to the limit. this is not your father's fitness. >> getting back to our roots, playing in the mud and being a kid again. >> are you ready? >> just outside phoenix, arizona, thousands lined up and then dragged, climbed, crawled and fought their way to the finish of what's called a spartan race. one of the latest crazes in extreme fitness. >> you talk to people who have done marathon, triathlons and they've tried it all and they said this is the toughest thing i've ever done in my life. kobe has done more than 30 races. he quit his job to become a professional racer. >> the challenges can be intimidating. they challenge you on things you don't normally do, but it's not just about the physical. you need to be mentally tough to do this. >> so why do something so hard, something where you sign a waiver that literally says there is a real possibility you may die, why, says divorced mother of three ann reynolds, is t

good afternoon, commissioners, i'm kristin craven executive director for san francisco beautiful. i think we are in all favor in stream lining procedures and our concern is simply with the process. i don't believe we are in the business of creating code reforms that gut our planning code. this is our fear. we would like for there to be a review process for exceptions to the rule that they should be treated as exceptions in the case of delicate daisy's. that sounds like an important story that you should hear and review but that we shouldn't give entitlements to national corporations and other examples that myeloshowed. our concern is really about the process. we don't think you should give your right to review away in favor of expediency. thank you for your time this afternoon and look forward to hearing on how you weigh in on this. >> good afternoon, alex walker. i want to say a few words today on behalf of tom dual vich who is also chair board who could not be here today. i want to draw a few things out from the letter he sent this morning to members of the commission and staff.
