Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., met with President Barack Obama and key budget advisers Friday to discuss financial reforms and energy issues under review in Congress.

Dorgan was one of four Democratic senators invited by the White House to meet with Obama and his top advisers to discuss the federal budget and other issues. Dorgan said they had "a pretty wide-ranging discussion about a good number of issues."

The North Dakota senator said he raised the potential for new financial reforms and regulations to help rebuild the economy. Dorgan has sought more accountability into the expenditure of economic recovery funds and joined with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., to push for an investigation into the causes of the financial crisis.

Also attending the meeting were White House budget chief Peter Orszag and Sens. Mark Begich of Alaska, Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire.

Gee, you'd thought Oba Mao would have invited McCain or some other prominent RINO to this meeting to give him "bipartisan" cover.

McCain just seems to always saddle up alongside the hardest left members across the aisle... Since he’s done this to our side three dozen times over the last 20 years, we should stop thinking of it as a coincidence. No, it’s fair to say, John McCain hates the conservatives and, in all likelihood, wants to “transform” America.

To address global warming, Obama has called for the use of a cap-and-trade system to set controls on carbon dioxide emissions. Carbon sequestration technology captures and buries carbon dioxide emissions from coal-burning power plants to control the emissions.
