The essential three steps of Community Organizing:

2) "I'm going to be obnoxious and disruptive until I get what I want!"
3) "Give me money! You owe me!"

The bigger story here is not that they asked President Numbnuts to leave is that President Numbnuts asked Pelosi and Reid not to speak to the Republicans.

That’s the rumor: -that he is so inept that he is ignored by those who have the intelligence to make the hard choices.

Obama was asked to leave the room, probably to get the coffee for everyone.

The least experienced man in the room was asked to leave. Sounds reasonable to me.
To: Nachum
Great. We rolled over even without him in the room. The GOP disgusts me.

I had to click on the link at the blog to get to the real article , the link is provided below, The deal was made back on July 23 but kept secret which is why a bill appeared out of thin air so fast last weekend.
“On July 23, they claim, the White House called Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), telling her not to participate on a call with Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). Pelosi informed Reid, who declined to participate, and the call was canceled, the Republican sources said. (A Pelosi spokesman could not be reached for comment.) Later that day, the four leaders met with Obama at the White House. At one point, GOP officials said, the Democratic and Republican leaders asked Obama and his aides to leave the room to let them negotiate. A tentative deal was subsequently struck, but Obama privately threatened to veto it, the sources said. Reid has repeatedly denied that he ever signed off on such an agreement. The following day, staffers for Boehner, Cantor, Reid and McConnell continued to work on an agreement, according to Republicans. After more twists and turns and involvement from Vice President Biden a bipartisan deal was reached a week later. Seventy-three percent of House Republicans voted yes as 50 percent of House Democrats voted against their president. ”
