President Obama has set up a meeting with both sides later today

About 20 minutes ago, C-SPAN said the meeting was 2 1/2 hours away. I hope President Obama stands firm and doesn't give in to Republicans the way he has in the past. Of course, it would be even better if the meeting turned into an arrest for extortion.

Present. We have Pelosi, Reid, and the President, they have boehner, and McConnell

I have no doubt the President will make it clear that they will not budge on the budget or raising the ceiling.

They republicans will either accept it, which they won't, or have a temporary face saving kick the can down the road
