Obama Spokesman: No, Obama Won't Meet With Congressional Leaders

Mitch McConnell invited him for a meeting and Mr. Leadership says no. He's not even voting "Present" anymore.

White House press secretary Jay Carney, while not directly saying the invitation had been rejected, said Obama did not need to hear Republicans tell him what they would not support.

That, Carney said, was "not a conversation worth having."

To quote a suddenly wise-man, Obama is being "a dick".

Yesterday Obama dickishly pointed claimed he'd worked hard on this.

I met with every single caucus for an hour to an hour and a half each -- Republican senators, Democratic senators; Republican House, Democratic House. I’ve met with the leaders multiple times. At a certain point, they need to do their job.

Oooh...he spent 4-6 hours on this. Damn, that deserves a round of golf or two. Maybe even a trip to Hawaii.

As far as who has done their job and who hasn't. Keep in mind that Obama presented a laughably out of of touch budget with so much spending even the the Democratic Senate rejected even debating by 97-0. He did give a speech about it but as the head of the CBO said, that's useless.

Republicans meanwhile have passed the Ryan budget in the House and most GOP Senators supported it when it came up for a vote in that chamber.

Where are the Democrats? The Democratically controlled Senate hasn't passed a budget in over two years. Where's Obama's actual plan, not some dickish speech?

It's almost as if Obama is not interested in doing something but would rather have
an issue to run on. Leading from behind indeed.

Obama did get one bit of action from his speech and press conference yesterday...the Senate is going to stay in session and forgo the traditional July 4th recess.

Meanwhile, August isn't exactly the drop dead date for the debt ceiling.
