Its the bottom of the ninth day of the Government Shutdown. And with the nation edging closer by the day to a firstever default, the president is summoning lawmakers to try and break through the deadlock. All House Democrats have been invited to 1600 pennsylvania avenue to meet with the president this hour. And tomorrow the president invited all 232 House Republicans to follow suit. 18 of them are actually planning to show up. A small group of leaders and committee chairman, handpicked by the speaker. The white house moments ago issued a statement saying they are disappointed that all would not attend and earlier today in what passes for bipartisanship during these dark days in washington, House Republican leaders boehner and cantor met with their democratic counterparts, pelosi and hoyer. Unfortunately, to listen to speaker boehner, he spent the last nine days distilling his talking points on the president S Health Care law. What a train wreck. We need to sit down and have a conversat

You know, like Charles Kraut hammer. Theres a r
Republicans are doing this for purely political purposes, not on principle. So clearly they are listening. Which is why nearly half of the democrats who regained control in congress in 2010. Mark murray has been living and breathing these poll numbers. Americans are speaking loud and clear about the shutdown but Senate Republicans were otdly quiet after the meeting with the president today. Well, one reason why is that at the end of the day, this is going to come down between the white house and House Republicans. The Senate Republicans, many of them have been fuming privately. Weve seen a lot of blind quotes from them. But there hasnt been a lot of pressure because the ball game is in the House Republicans corner on how to move forward when it comes to the continuing resolution to end the Government Shutdown and also to raise the debt ceiling. That said, we did get some type of sound from susan collins, republican senator from maine. She was saying how todays meeting was cordial and e
