President Barack Obama plans a trip to Capitol Hill this week to meet with lawmakers as his push for healthcare legislation moves forward.

Congressional officials say Obama plans to visit the Capitol on Friday. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because the meetings have not been announced.

The White House declined to confirm details of the president's schedule for Friday.

Obama's fellow Democrats are pushing a healthcare overhaul that remains the president's top domestic priority. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hopes to have legislation on the House floor for a vote on Saturday.

Why not today?

Oh wait, never mind, it’s going to be overcrowded with average Americans who are displeased with him.

Good thing I generally don’t watch TV on Fridays. It will be nothing but an all day “gush-fest” as the MSM fawns over his every move.

I’ll bet he decided to visit today to give Pelosi a reason to shut down the building for “security” reasons. I don’t think she wants all those citizens in her House.

"President Barack Obama will go to Capitol Hill tomorrow to meet with House Democrats, as they seek the 218 votes they need to pass the bill, a Democratic leadership aide said."

I wonder if this includes Rahm Emanuel- arm twisting to get votes

He wants this now so he can have it a done deal for the state of the union....

It'll be real cool when he reminds us that we own GM and employment is 10%, that the government is broke and we're destined for more taxes..
