The potential motivation of a meeting between Obama and Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader motivation Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been a moving target in recent motivation days. Top aides to several leaders have said they have no idea whether a meeting would occur, when it would be and what, exactly, would be discussed. Continue Reading
It initially appeared that the meeting would happen this Wednesday. The Obama administration reached out last week to congressional leadership to schedule the session, but the White House pulled back, according to sources familiar with the planning.
Time is getting short — the government is slated to shut down Oct. 1. A White House meeting after the Senate passes its continuing resolution could come next week. A Senate vote could come as late as Sunday — just hours before the government is slated to stop functioning.
But another fiscal battle is just weeks away: Treasury says Congress must boost the debt ceiling by mid-October. Obama has said he won’t negotiate over the nation’s borrowing limit. Republicans are asking for a one-year delay of the mandate that individuals purchase health motivation insurance in exchange for a one-year boost in the debt ceiling. motivation

A White House meeting with congressional leadership would not be the first contact between the White House and top congressional officials. Obama called Pelosi and Boehner Friday evening. Boehner’s office said the phone call was disappointing, with Obama restating his position that he will not negotiate over raising the nation’s debt limit. Pelosi’s motivation office did not comment on the call.
“How could talks happen when the 1 demand of the GOP is something they know cannot pass? GOP extremism/absurdity is unprecedented,” Obama Senior Adviser Dan Pfeiffer tweeted Monday morning, in response to a string of tweets noting the lack of contact between the White House and Capitol Hill.
