Obama 'likely' to meet with congressional leaders this week
THE HILL ^ | 23 SEPTEMBER 2013 | JUSTIN SINK

“I think it’s likely that the president will meet with leaders,” Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One. “I don't have a time for that or a day for that. But here’s the bottom line: Congress needs to act responsibly in order to ensure that the government does not shut down.”

Aides on Capitol Hill have said since last week that the White House was attempting to schedule a meeting with Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

He’s meeting with only Democrats (McConnell and Boehner are Democrats, for all intents and purposes, and have NO opposition to whatever The Messiah tells them to do, and they go along with the Dem’s whenever necessary. Their phony “for show” antics are only to allow them to falsely claim they are fighting him......what a disgusting pair of whores....

Yeah, I heard that too. No negotiations. Now it’s Blinky who is trying so hard for a meeting with Winky and Nod. To recite Cowboy Poetry?

Ooops, sorry Barry. You’re to blame in January when people get their insurance premium increases.

YOU POLARIZED IT, YOU OWN IT.

The votes don’t exist for cloture. Bottom line.

I'm sensing weakness.

You can put all of these titans of stupidity and malfeasance in one room to plot and scheme, but Ted Cruz holds all the cards now.

That would explain the panic. Panic is good. They're getting shrill, and lashing out wildly. They don't have their talking points down, so they won't be able to muster a counter-attack against the Tea Party.

Cruz seems to have caught the Rats off guard. They must have figured that Boehner would be able to contain Cruz.

“Congressional leaders” has been the Mother of All Oxymorons since 2008. The Kenyan and his Marxist comrades are running this country. All of it.

After this likely meeting he, the not-so-little missus, and their camp followers will have to have big vacation. That president’n sure is hard work!

"Likely" to meet.

As in; "Look, the people voted and obviously agreed with what I believe. I WON. This is what I want. Why are you against this when I so obviously won? You need to wake up and realize that this is what the people want, since I won. Are you racists, or what?"

I can’t understand why 0 doesn’t just issue an EO to spend as much money as he wants and be done with it. The Constitution means nothing when it comes to most other issues.

The RINO’s turn a blind eye anyway.
