Obama invities GOP leaders to his dog/pony health care show.

It is still a waste of time since this move is designed to embarrass the GOP and Obama won't agree to anything that doesn't fit into his worldview. The only way bipartisan agreement works for him is if the GOP says yes to his demands.

In the first major step to revive his health care agenda after his party's loss of a filibuster-proof Senate majority, President Barack Obama on Sunday invited Republican and Democratic leaders to discuss possible compromises in a televised gathering later this month.

Obama's move came amid widespread complaints that efforts so far by him and his Democratic allies in Congress have been too partisan and secretive.

The Feb. 25 meeting's prospects for success are far from clear. GOP leaders demanded Sunday that Democrats start from scratch, and White House aides said Obama had no plans to do so.

"If we are to reach a bipartisan consensus, the White House can start by shelving the current health spending bill," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

A White House statement Sunday said Obama repeatedly has made it clear "that he's adamant about passing comprehensive reform similar to the bills passed by the House and the Senate."
"He hopes to have Republican support in doing so, but he is going to move forward on health reform," the statement said.

Told ya, its nothing more than a show by Obama who feels he can fool the public with this fake meeting of "bipartisianship." If the GOP and the public is against Obamacare in its current form but Obama insists that something will pass similar to it, why bother having this obvious display of fakery by the White House and the Dems.
