The ball is in President Obama's court to reach out to Republicans if he wants a bipartisan bill on healthcare reform, House GOP Leader John Boehner (Ohio) said Monday morning.
Boehner told reporters that the president has not invited House GOP leaders to the White House for meetings on healthcare reform since the end of April.

He only listens to Soros and people like him. What’s the big deal? Do you really expect him to listen to the people?
He won.
Then the GOP shouldn’t vote for it period. They should either abstain and stay away from the hall or all vote no en masse. Let them own it if they push it through.
Can’t have a meeting with anyone with a brain he might learn something.
Bi-partisan in Obama’s world means you just vote for whatever he tells you to.
I HOPE then, that the minute he speaks his first lie tonight, they get up and walk out on him.
Wasn’t Pelosi asked about why Republicans weren’t invited to meeting with Dems and Obama just the other day....and wasn’t her answer that the plan was for them to meet with him separately?
Keep the TV off and the ratings down.
This whole debacle is going to belong the the liberal Democrats. They own it.

HEALTHCARE BILL: ONLY DEMOCRATS INVITED: PELOSI LYING AGAIN?
The last time Reublicans were invited to talk to Obama about Healthcare was in APRIL. In her press conference following a meeting with the President, Pelosi misleads the public into believing Republicans have been included in recent discussions.
Apparently, however, the only bipartisanship going on is between Democratic factions.

Walk out on him.
“Then the GOP shouldn’t vote for it period.”
They were plenty for it before Obama’s stupid town hall strategy prompted the public to look at it.
They still want health company campaign contributions, aka “bribes” aka “free speech money”. They’ll squeeze it out longer until they realize no more bribe money “campaign contributions” is coming in.
I wouldn’t watch Nobama tonight even if ACORN paid me.
I'm sure someone somewhere will put into a rebuttal article that 0bama has met with GOP Senators, one or two maybe, and that will be the sum total of his *bi-partisian* effort. The thing is, Republican yeas are necessary in the House, he doesn't have 218 with a public option or 218 without it, relying on Dem votes alone. This legislation MUST initiate in the House, a bill must garner 218 in order to be sent to the Senate, otherwise, Constitutional challenge would be upheld. Even if they do get some phonybaloney out of the House, they strike the language and insert whatever *compromise* this Gang of Six comes up with, THAT will have to go back to the House and garner 218 again ... I just don't see it happening, and it especially will not happen if they cannot con enough Republicans into voting for this junk.
Walking out on the Messiah? The Pubbies would never do that. They are terrified of being called racist.
I guess I’m actually glad about that.
We don’t need a compromise health care reform bill, because we don’t need a health care reform bill at all.
Well, it’s about time they GOT OVER the color of the man’s skin. I don’t care if he’s purple...if he stands there and lies, they need to WALK OUT!!

GOP leaders haven't met Obama for health talks since April (Obama Shuts Them Out)
 "... so if somebody has a better idea of how to do that, put it on the table. For the moment, however, as far as our House members are concerned, the overwhelming majority of them support a public option." (Nancy Pelosi, Tues, Sept. 8, 2009) |
No one in the Republican Caucus is voting for the Healthcare bill — they are standing united but nothing they can do unless they get a lot of Blue Dogs.
