SUMMARY: In summer 2011, a partisan Congress sparred with the White House on how to solve the U.S. debt crisis. Judy Woodruff talks to journalist Bob Woodward about his new book, "The Price of Politics," about how Washington's politicians couldn't look past their own political aspirations in order to forge a deal.
JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): ..... we turn from presidential politics to the related topic of partisan gridlock in Washington.
Yesterday, I sat down with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Bob Woodruff He's written 17 books that look inside the White House, Congress, and other branches of American government.
He's back this month with "The Price of Politics," chronicling the failure of the president and congressional leaders last year to reach a grand bargain on how to attack the budget deficit and the debt.
