Even as conservative Republicans vowed not to yield on their Obamacare demands for delay, President Barack Obama announced he would meet with the four top leaders of Congress at the White House on Wednesday to urge lawmakers to reopen the government and raise the U.S. debt ceiling.
Obama will meet at 5:30 p.m. EDT with Republican House Speaker John Boehner, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.
Boehner's office said the meeting would be the start of serious talks to bridge differences that led to government agencies closing down.

ReplyDeleteDemocrats control Washington not the tea party.
ReplyDeleteBoehner is nothing but a drunk womaniser who lives for the Georgetown cocktail circuit. He will cave in to Obama like he always does. When will we have had enough? Obama denigrated our greatest generation of war heroes while sending money to the Muslim Brotherhood. What would it take to get people to understand this POTUS despises this country?
