HR589 Meeting Update: Is the meeting still on? NO!! Cancelled due to Shutdown!!
Is the meeting still on? YES. Boehner has to be in the Oval Office at the White House today at 1 p.m. As of the time I hit the PUBLISH button for this post it is ON… will update later…. Once again, there is a budget war raging in the background and political tension is high as you can see on CNN and MSNBC. Regardless, the friendship between Rep. Scott and fellow Virginian, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor will help… as will the focus of Rep. Lee.
Rep. Lee understands that if the bill is designated as an “emergency” finding funding is unnecessary. Can the White House be convinced that’s a good idea? Sources say they already have been. Did CBC Chairman Emanuel Cleaver think of this at the White House meeting last week? No… but that was then. This is now.

Today 12:01 PM White House Shutdown Talks Preempt Boehner Meeting On 99ers
HuffPost's Arthur Delaney reports:

HuffPost's Arthur Delaney reports:
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) had to cancel a planned meeting with Reps. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and Bobby Scott (D-Va.) to discuss possible legislation for the long-term unemployed on Thursday.
Instead of chatting about “99ers” – people who’ve exhausted 99 weeks of unemployment benefits without finding work -- Boehner’s heading to the White House Thursday afternoon for more shutdown talks with President Obama.
“We’re disappointed Speaker Boehner had to cancel the meeting,” Lee spokesman Joel Payne said. “We hope it can be rescheduled for next week.”

They don't give a s.h.i.t. and they will always find an excuse for canceling the meetings. You'll see.

* all Politicians, capitalist pigs and Boehner!

I call all Republicans Boners, because they are a bunch of stiffs, and not the good stiff.

In the midst of severe budget cuts, government shut downs, republican resistance and, a slowly declining unemployment rate, how does anyone find the strength to continue to believe the 99ers will suddenly start receiving unemployment benefits after one year without them?

As if we didn't know the meeting would be cancelled. Maybe we can get free tickets to the 3 ring circus going on in D.C.

What a mess this country is in! Such a shame. And from what I gather the differences aren't about money now but about ideology?

Some of the people in WA are nothing but useless, overpaid people who look and say the right things to the media but are useless to get our country out of the depression. We the 99ers are hurting the most in this depression that politicians got us into. Funny, the politicians are the ones working in this depression and the 99ers have nothing.

No matter what the naysayers say, this is hopeful news. I'd say the fact that Obama is addressing unemployment among blacks in his speech today is also hopeful. Perhaps he has been waiting to act until he had announced his 2012 presidential run.DesperateInRI wrote:Can the White House be convinced that’s a good idea?
