President Barack Obama implored Democratic and Republican lawmakers to rally behind his vision of economic revival for an anxious nation. Obama called for more federal spending on core areas -- but alongside a long, hard commitment to reining in the nation's debt. He promised to veto any bill that contained pet projects and said the nation's political leadership is now a "shared responsibility." Idaho Senator Jim Risch says that's a great start but he says more has to be done.  Idaho Senator Mike Crapo agrees with Risch that more cuts have to be made. Idaho congressman Mike Simpson says he believes the president is also on the right track. A track Congressman Raul Labrador hopes the president is able to stay on.
