Obama constrained by Congress despite budget win
President Obama faces limited legislative leverage after a debt ceiling clash and a 16 day shutdown. Officials say he will rely more on executive actions to pursue farm bill immigration reform and a longer term budget deal, while Republicans demand concessions. A bipartisan panel must craft a deficit plan by December 13, with funding through January 15 and debt limit relief through February 7.

Syria peace talks eyed for November 23 Geneva 2 convening set
Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby said peace talks to end Syria’s civil war were scheduled for November 23, though envoy Brahimi said no date had been officially set. Brahimi would travel to key capitals before announcing a final date amid factional opposition and regional backing questions. A Friends of Syria meeting is planned in London on Tuesday.
