ZT:
President Obama asked Americans tonight to pressure congressional Republicans to accept a "balanced plan" to reduce the federal debt through taxes as well as budget cuts in order to stave off a government default that will kill jobs and slow the economy。
9:15 p.m. -- Obama ends with another appeal to Congress: "The entire world is watching. So let's seize this moment to show why the United States of America is still the greatest nation on Earth."
9:14 p.m. -- A direct appeal to voters: "If you want a balanced approach to reducing the deficit, let your member of Congress know. If you believe we can solve this problem through compromise, send that message."
9:13 p.m. -- Obama says he likes the Senate plan, but many Republicans don't -- and he again urges compromise, including Tea Party members who have been his fiercest critics.
"The American people may have voted for divided government, but they didn't vote for a dysfunctional government," Obama says.
9:11 p.m. -- "We can't allow the American people to become collateral damage to Washington's political warfare."
9:10 p.m. -- Obama lays the blame for a potential default on the Republicans "cuts only approach" -- and that includes today's revamped plan from House Speaker John Boehner. Also says Boehner's two-step plan will create the same standoff in six months.
9:08 p.m. -- "So we're left with a stalemate," Obama says. He then proceeds to explain how the dispute is holding up an increase in the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling -- threatening a government default as early as next week.
9:07 p.m. -- Obama says most wealthy Americans are "willing to pitch in" to cut the federal debt -- and quotes conservative icon Ronald Reagan.
9:03 p.m. -- Both parties have responsibility for cutting debt, Obama said -- but only his party is asking wealthy Americans to pay more to help close the gap. He touts his plan to reduce the debt by $4 trillion over ten years.
Republicans, meanwhile, are seeking a "cuts only" approach to the budget, Obama said, putting the burden on the middle class, and hurts programs like education and new energy research.
9:01 p.m. -- Obama begins from the East Room of the White House by saying that the the $14 trillion-plus debt "directly affects the lives of all Americans," costing jobs and slowing the economy.
