President Barack Obama and congressional Democratic leaders agreed Tuesday to bypass a conference committee and keep negotiations to reconcile the Senate and House health care reform bills a closed-door affair.
They concluded that the House will work off the Senate's version, amend it and send it back to the Senate for final passage, according to a House leadership aide, speaking on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the private meeting.
Obama held an Oval Office meeting Tuesday evening with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his No. 2, Sen. Dick Durbin joined in by phone.
Obama himself will take a hands-on role in the final health care talks, convening another meeting with congressional leaders at the White House on Wednesday, the aide said.
The aim is to get a final bill to Obama's desk before the State of the Union policy address sometime in early February.

We need people with exactly that statement on a protest sign walking in front of the White House, every single day until next presidential election day in November 2012.
“Obama and Dems Agree”
Now, theres’ a surprise headline.
This is bondage.
We who are about to die of taxation curse you.
D@mn you all.
While it is not a “lie”, it does withold certain “truths”. The Constitutional Convention was open to opposing parties. This 0bamanation is NOT. It is explicit in its exclusion of the GOP. Also, the Founders did not run around saying the discussions were going to be wide open to the public and then turn around and to the exact opposite.
Satan and demoncrats speak in half-truths
OF course they won’t even let the minority party sit in for audit and input. It will be fun watching him eventually fall.
DING DING DING !!! WE HAVE A WINNER !!!
This process is an OUTRAGE.
bttt, great idea
“Obama, Dems Agree to Closed-Door Health Negotiations (Will the MSM finally call out the liars?)”
++++++++++++++
All I have to say about that headline question is: Don’t hold your breath. The RAT press is carrying water like good little boys and girls in the O Youth movement.
That and their ulitmate goal of a communist America.
LLS
Democrats live in an “opposite” world. When they say most moral they mean most corrupt, when they say most transparent they mean least transparent, when they say liberal they mean fascist, when they say tolerant they mean intolerant. It’s a simple rule that makes it easy to understand the left.
Evidently so....
Exactly what I told a friend today who is still an Obamao koolaid drinker...YOU LIE (to Zero and Pelosi)....
This person is waiting for the Healthcare legislation to pass so they can take the risk of finding another job becauase the government will be providing her heatlh insurance.....
(I couldn’t get across to this person that there will be NO JOBS out there as long as Zero and his comrades control this country.....and what good will this new “benefit” be when it doesn’t even go into effect til 2013 or 2014...and it probably won’t cover this person anyway!!!
