President Obama lays out the plan for the day and his hopes for what can be accomplished. He talks about where we are now and why this meeting is so necessary:
"Politics, I think, ended up trumping practical common sense. I said at the State of the Union, and I'll repeat -- I didn't take this on because I thought it was good politics. This is such a complicated issue that it's inevitably going to be contentious. But what I'm hoping to accomplish today is for everybody to focus not just on where we differ, but focus on where we agree."
