Obama was to meet with Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and other Senators in a rare Sunday session ahead of possible debate Monday on key amendments.
Conservative Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., has threatened to filibuster reform legislation unless it contains restrictions on abortion coverage and the Senate has yet to find common ground on a government-run public option for health insurance.

“No church today, Barry?”
You beat me by about 12 hours...but great minds think alike, LOL!
Senator Bob Casey- D of Pennsylvania — who is supposedly anti-abortion — said recently on TV he’s not “ruling anything out” when it comes to voting for the bill. This when asked whether he would vote for a healthcare bill that includes abortion provisions.
I was just gonna say that.
Great minds..
He never goes to church. Sunday is golf day for pampered little Barry.
Hah, he had his tax evading number pushers trim $2 billion off the projected deficit, which he will now use to “pay” for Obamacare. Nonexistant dollars all. Nothing like running the gubmint on Mopoly money.
Has there even been a president in our history who didn’t have a church?
I Thought he was against lobbying??
