Obama To Call Boehner And Reid Early This Morning
Tweet
WAKEUP CALL! — The offices of John Boehner and Harry Reid should be expecting a call from the White House in the early hours of Thursday. President Obama told reporters just a few hours ago that he would ping their offices in the morning to check up on budget negotiations, and that if they hadn’t “made progress,” they’d be summoned back to the White House.
“We’re going to keep on pounding away at this thing, because I am absolutely convinced that we can get this done,” Obama said.
Obama’s public schedule is more or less open until a 2 p.m. meeting with Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, so there’s plenty of time to squeeze in a budget chat.
The government will close tomorrow if a deal isn’t reached.
