WASHINGTON — The White House has postponed a meeting with Democratic and Republican congressional leaders to Nov. 30 after top Republicans said they had a scheduling conflict.

The meeting, originally scheduled for Thursday, will mark be the first time President Barack Obama will sit down with Congress' new bipartisan leaders since the Nov. 2 elections that cost Democrats control of the House of Representatives and shrank the Democratic majority in the Senate.

In the wake of a bitter election campaign, the session could presage cooperation or friction between Obama and House speaker-in-waiting John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

6. This is a calculated insult by two punks.
Bottom line they have no respect for the President and see themselves as King Kraps of the world but still they will go on
talking head shows and say they are willing to work w/ the President although they just don't have time to meet w/ him.


God Damn it Mr. President do not think that your body's warmth will make the rattlesnakes you are in bed w/ happy
and they will not bite you. These people want to ruin you to help their rich friends get richer ..... remember your roots
of helping people in Chicago.

13. The time has come Mr President to totally IGNORE the Repubs. If you agree to meet with them on the..
date they gave to you....Then you are no longer fit to be the Commander in Chief in my eyes.

14. Mr. President. Tomorrow would be a great day for you to hold an impromptu
press conference with your new re-elected Dem leadership to discuss some issues for the lame duck session. First up--the Bush tax cuts, and how the Republicans' refusal to compromise will likely mean a tax increase for the middle class.
