Today President Obama pushed Congress to immediately act on one thing that most people on Capitol Hill agree on, to keep the Middle Class tax rates where they currently are.

Republicans are starting to show some signs of compromise with the debt talks, with the latest evidence being the defection of several Republicans from the Grover Norquist tax pledge. Many believe that the president has the upper hand this time around. So could this actually be true?

Today at 3 p.m. the president is holding one of the last cabinet meetings this cabinet will have. The current shuffle is taking places with speculation of who is in and who is out, most notable Secretary Clinton is expected to stay with Ambassador Rice to take her place.

We will cover all of this and more today at 3 with The Washington Post Dana Milbank. Be sure to tune in.
