President Barack Obama is summoning top Democrats from the House and Senate to the White House Wednesday afternoon for talks on raising the nation's debt ceiling.

White House spokesman Jay Carney says the meeting will take place shortly before 3 p.m. EDT. When asked why Obama was not meeting with Republicans, Carney would only say there were no other meetings to announce.

Wednesday's meeting comes as a new bipartisan budget plan is emerging in the Senate. The "Gang of Six" plan would slash the deficit by almost $4 trillion over a decade through a mix of spending cuts and new tax revenues. Obama has praised the plan.

Our only hope is that a sufficient number of Congressional Dems will resist.

he's "weak," Democrats will walk all over him like the Republicans do.

Why would anyone think he can persuade Democrats when he can't even persuade Republicans?

he's already given them what they want , he has already sold out....now he hopes to find enough gutless Dems in congress to ensure a huge a Republcian victory.

That should be easy.
