WASHINGTON (AP) - Signaling he'd meet critics part way on health care, President Barack Obama said Tuesday he's willing to sign a bill even if it doesn't deliver everything he pursued through a year of grinding effort at risk of going down as a dismal failure.
The Democrats' massive health overhaul legislation is stalled in Congress by disagreements within the party and the loss last month of their 60th Senate vote, and with it, control of the agenda. Republicans suspect that Obama's invitation to a televised health care summit Feb. 25 is a thinly disguised political trap. On Tuesday, the president tried to change the dour dynamic, indicating he could settle for less in order to move ahead.
"Let's put the best ideas on the table," Obama told reporters after meeting with congressional leaders of both parties. "My hope is that we can find enough overlap that we can say, this is the right way to move forward, even if I don't get every single thing that I want."

BS, this bastard is not going to meet anyone half way.
So what he’s saying his that he’d settle for “The Camel’s Nose” Healthcare System? NO!!!!!!!!!
Associated Press false propaganda.
I heard what Obama and Gibbs said.
AP is blatantly not reporting the truth.
Hold Fast! ObamaCare is sinking fast. Don't give the rats an inch!
...he's such a big hearted scumbag
A t*rd in the bowl is better than a (oops, THE) Loon in the White House.
That's right Bambi it is all about you.
This is the Delphi Technique at work.
They asked forstuff they knew they couldn’t get all at once, now they are ‘compromising’ back to what they really want at the current moment (incrementalism) and perhaps one or two things more. If there is still resistance they’ll drop the one or two things more as ‘good faith’ efforts.
This is totally staged and planned. It’s been great theatre.
I heard him today. He’s all about “I want”, “I want”, “I want”, and refuses to acknowledge that the rest of don’t want what HE wants. This guy is a wanna-be dictator and so are the rest of his cronies.
My way or the highway.
Lets just keep the ball rolling you suckers.
Repubs...don’t take the bait. Resist. Resist. Resist.
How about one that’s tort reform only then?
Wasn’t this teenage miscreant just lambasting the GOP because they couldn’t SHOW him a plan that would cove ALL Americans?
But now he’s been noted to say he’s OK if he doesn’t get everything he wanted.
This dude is a schizo adolescent punk.
OMG, can this creep be any more inconsistent?
Exactly. If the 41 stay together, Obama is toast. If they don’t, we all are.
Obama, you’ll get nothing and like it.
He’s looking to give them the Haiti special a burning tire around thier neck. It’s a setup to label them the party of no. If he starts with his demands and bullying I hope the republicans have enough sense to get up walk out and find the nearest fox news camera to express thier diappointment of the president and his unwanting to come to a bipartisan agreement.
