It is being reported that President Obama is meeting with 16 Democratic senators + Joe Lieberman at 4:15 pm ET today, presumably to discuss their opposition to the various health care proposals and to get them on board with the President's proposal which he revealed in his address to a joint session of congress last night. In addition to Joe Lieberman, the President is meeting with Senators Mark Pryor and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, Mark Warner of Virginia, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Evan Bayh of Indiana, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Tom Carper of Delaware, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, Mark Begich of Alaska, Mark Udall and Michael Bennet of Colorado, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Bill Nelson of Florida, Kay Hagan of North Carolina, and Herb Kohl of Wisconsin.
I'm not sure we can trust Lieberman. He is likely to go back to the Republicans and tell them everything that transpired.
