>> good evening, russ mitchell is off tonight, i'm nor awea owe donald. reaching a debt ceiling agreement before the financial markets opened in asia after the republican deadline for reaching a deal came and went late this afternoon. president obama invited the two top congressional democrats but no republicans to a whitehouse meeting. congressional coursent nancy cordes has the latest. >> with time running out, house speaker john boehner said if he could not reach an agreement with democrats by tonight, republicans would roll out their own plan. >> i would prefer to have a bipartisan approach to solve this problem. if that's not possible, my republican colleagues in the house are prepared to move on their own. >> boehner says the republican bill would likely involve two steps. first a short term extension of the debt ceiling accompanied by a package of spending cuts and then another extension in six months or so, after congress can identify more cuts.

on face the nation, ears senator jon kyl said that would satisfy the republican aim of offsetting any increase in the debt ceiling with equal or greater cuts in spending. >> if we can reduce spending by a trillion dollars, then we extend the debt ceiling a trillion dollars worth and that would take it at least through the end of this year. >> but the president warned on friday he would veto that approach. president obama called for an increase in the debt ceiling. >> we have to extend this debt ceiling through the next election, into 2013. >> treasury secretary time geithner argued today that anything less would inject too muchen certainty into a weak dme. >> we can't adopt a approach that leaves the threat of deal hanging over the country. that would be deeply irresponsible to do. >> both sides blame the other for dragging the economy to the brink over of all things raising the debt ceiling, a typically uneventful affair congress has

successful carried out more than 70 times. >> i would just say to to speaker boehner the president negotiated directly with you in good faith twice and you walked away from it. at some point the speaker has to accept the responsibility beyond his caucus to this nation. >> democratic soarltses tell us tonight -- sources tell us tonight that the two sides have reached an impasse and senate majority leader harry reid is preparing his own legislation to raise the debt ceiling. what you could see this week is two rival plans one in the house one in the senate both being put up for a vote. >> nancy tonight the president met with democratic leaders with you not republicans. what does that say about the chances for a deal? >> well, it probably dashes any hopes, nora, that the president and the speaker were seriously negotiating again after the speaker left those talks on friday, in fact the speaker had a conference call with his fellow house republicans this evening in which he specifically said that any agreement will not involve something that he works out with the president.
