House Minority Leader John Boehner on Wednesday asked President Obama to give Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) a last-minute invitation to Thursdays health care summit.
In a letter, Boehner noted that the Stupak amendment, which bans federal funding for abortions, is not included in the presidents reform proposal or the Senate version of the health care bill.
Yet CNN and Quinnipiac University surveys consistently indicate that the Stupak amendment reflects the will of the American people, he wrote. Including Representative Stupak would send a signal that the White House respects the views of a majority of Americans and a bipartisan majority of the House on the critical issue of life.
The White House has told Republicans they can invite another lawmaker to the summit since the administration invited Sen. Ron Wyden, a White House official said. As for Boehner's request for Stupak, the official said, "If they want Stupak to come, they can bring him."

Totally concur. But what Im saying is that the bill is a horror show beyond public funding for abortion. And that as a tactic the Demons could conceed on this point and get the votes they need to pass an abomonation only second to abortion.

Even former President Bill Clinton appeared pessimistic about the prospects for health-care reform.
The health care is hard to do, but I thought it would happen this time because all the trends that prompted me to act are worse, he said, speaking about health care reform in the past tense during an interview with Fox News. I thought it would happen, but
Yes, the Rat media.
If, at the end of the day, there is no healthcare bill ipso facto Obama has failed.
I know we make fun of the teleprompter for good reason but he’s not without some ability to speak off the cuff. As long as he can lie to make up for his deficit of knowledge it’s almost as good as teleprompter. The only time he becomes flustered is when he encounters unexpected opposition. Will they challenge him effectively on his lies?
It is like some kind of sick Donald Trump reality show.
Tune in later to see who is the biggest loser.
They should use Alinsky tactics on the Alinski invaders. Isolate Obama and Demonize him.
Only reason Bo invited Stupak is because he read it Stupid...Not very good at reading you know. “Oh, sure you can bring stupid with you.”
OMG No “Tele”! What will he ever do? Not very good at organizing paper notes....In fact I’m not sure he could organize the TP.
But still no mention of who the other House critters are that received invitations.....Did they have to RSVP and bring a gift for the hostess?
Have you noticed that when even this bunch realizes that he would look more ridiculous than usual with his telepromters, he has a little mini-me prompter in front of him. Watch for that.
“has a little mini-me prompter in front of him.”
LOL...must be controlled...like a (Soros) puppet...
I’m stuned at your maroon response.
Okay.
Stop it. (Memo to Self.)
;)
P.S. Don’t be a Clymer!
(Gawd, I love Dick Cheney.)
Well...Just shows how wrong I can be...{:-o
