Obama Reaches Out To Congressional Leaders -- Wall Street Journal

Lawmakers From Both Parties Invited for Talks on Budget, Debt Limit.

WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama invited congressional leaders from both parties to the White House on Wednesday to discuss the partial government shutdown and looming debt-limit crisis, a White House official said.

Mr. Obama will use the meeting—the first with congressional leaders since the shutdown began Tuesday—to press leaders to reopen the government and reiterate his position that he won't negotiate on the debt limit or under the threat of a continued shutdown, the official said.

House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) received invitations Wednesday morning for the meeting.

My Comment: President Obama reaches out to Congressional leaders .... you got to be kidding me. This is a total waste of time .... the White House and Senate Democrats have already made it very clear that they will not negotiate .... and the Republicans are already split on what to do next .... this meeting will just be used as optics for the main stream media. The problem has always been the same .... the U.S. has lost control of it's spending and no one is willing to cut entitlement budgets .... in fact .... they want to expand it with programs like Obamacare .... and both political parties are to blame for this. As to my own prediction on the present mess .... the Republicans will cave-in and the U.S. budget deficit catastrophe will be kicked down the road for the next administration and future generations to handle.
