if all 100 senators were here at the united states capitol tonight, everybody working it would have been a cliff hanger by almost anyone's assessment. the democrats need five republicans to go with them. we have counted four republicans who will vote to open up debate on the issue. but there is a question of one more republican, according to our count. we don't know whether they had the votes. but we know senator john koren of texas went to the florida or saying there were 17 not present from texas. the weather causing problems to get here. >> 1.3 million americans waiting word on that and their families. so then what happens? where do we go from here, joe? >> tomorrow, 10:00 eastern time, the senate is expected to take up this issue, which they could have taken up tonight. it would have been a win/win for them since if they get the numbers and can open up debate, perhaps they have a bit of momentum on this issue and other issues. if they don't get the numbers and they don't get the vote, then they have a political issue to take to the polls later on. that is, of course, unless republica

state of the unit address -- state of the union address last night. the president has made no bones about his frustration with partisan gridlock on capitol hill. he says he will use executive orders to pass legislation that is blocked in congress. america does not stand still and neither will i. canever and wherever i take steps without legislation to expand opportunity for more american families, that is what i am going to do. >> president obama delivered an address before a joint session of congress and millions of americans watching on television . that speech is the subject of today's inside look. joining us is a u.s. specialist. much moreike it was a confrontational barack obama we heard in that speech. would you agree? >> yeah, but there were signs that he was going to go it alone. remember in the first few weeks, "i have a pen and i will use it when it is necessary. also, the opinion polls are bad and he has to do something about it. finally some republicans may be moving on the immigration bill. maybe he realizes this is the time to say it is now or never. at the november elections are very soon and then he will be a lame-duck duck pre

united states? >> well, and i'll honesty, i think that the greatest immediate threat to the united states is in fact the paralysis that we see in the two square miles that encompass capitolhill and the white house. if we can't begin seriously to address the problems that we face, whether it's education or immigration or the deficit or the national debt, a host of other problems, none of those problems can be solved in the span of one presidency or one congress, so the only way we can actually make headway against those problems is through bipartisan solutions that can be sustained through more than presidency and congress. and if we can't begin to get past this paralysis and ching tan, then i think we are in serious trouble. if you want to talk about national security issues, i think we have to worry about cyber. we have to worry about a terrorist in this country with a weapon of mass destruction. we have to worry about iran. we have to worry about north korea and we have to worry about something inadvertently creating a crisis in the south china sea. those are all kind of out there on the horizon as far as i'm concerned is significant problems, but the biggest challenge
