EmailFrom Sunlen Miller
President Obama will spend his day in a series of behind-closed-doors meetings.
In the morning, Mr. Obama will receive his regular rounds of briefings from staff and then will have lunch with Vice President Biden. Afterward, he will meet with Secretary of State Clinton in the Oval Office.
In the afternoon, the president will "briefly attend" a meeting on the administration’s cybersecurity efforts in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. The meeting will be led by Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and will be attended by cybersecurity stakeholders from across the country.
In the evening, the president will meet with House Democratic leadership in the Oval Office to discuss legislative priorities before the August recess.
Expected attendees include:
-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
-Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), Majority Leader
-Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), Majority Whip
-Rep. John Larson (D-CT), Democratic Caucus Chairman
-Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-CA), Democratic Caucus Vice Chairman
-Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Assistant to the Speaker and Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
-Rep. George Miller (D-CA), Chair of the Democratic Policy Committee
-Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), Chair of the Democratic Steering Committee
On Tuesday, Mr. Obama held a similar meeting with the Senate Democratic leadership.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said that during the president's closed door meeting with Senate Democrats, they discussed the next three agenda items for the next few weeks: financial reform, passing an extension of unemployment insurance for the long-term unemployed and lending for small businesses.

“Sig..

Are you suggesting Code Pink, for example, didn’t protest Bush while we fought in Afghanistan? It appears Code Pink has had a change of heart now that Obama is in charge, no? What’s with that?

No unemployment? Thank the republicans! For the rest of you -When the economy stalls again – you can thank the republicans too. The republican’s weren’t worried about the deficit when that big insurance company and their friends the Wall Street execs were giving themselves bonuses with taxpayer money!!! Next election – let Congress feel the sting of the unemployment lines!!! No more raping and pillaging the middle class!!! – How many years have you paid taxes? 30? 40? Your government bails out bankers and Wall Street execs using your tax dollars – but unemployment is allowed to expire? What happened to “by the people” or “for the people”? Or are the big campaign contributors the only “people” who count to congress? They are playing games AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME while you are wondering how to feed your kids? Figure it out! Malfeasance – Failure of a public official to perform their duties!!! Next Election MAKE YOURSELF MATTER BY VOTING!!! 10% unemployment carries 10% of the vote! Use it!! Fire them all next election or recall every Congress member NOW for Malfeasance – Failure of a public official to perform their duties!!! Next Election – Lets get people elected who actually represent all the People- this current congress represents only special interest groups!

Huummmmmm . . . . . .
Didn’t Bush get criticized because he had monochromatic opinions surrounding him? Obama would do better if he met with people smarter than he is with the opposite persuasion.

the most important agenda right now is Cybersecurity which can be written to give Obama almost unlimited power over all communications in the USA. Coupled with FCC-mandated controls in relay stations, NSA wiretapping, and government mandated digital television broadcasting this new control could be very useful in an “emergency” or to simply control, manipulate, or track information or political opponents.

CBS: 74% believe the stimulus either has done nothing or has made things worse.
The nation now realizes that this poor man is simply not up to the job.

Sigmonde and Dontget818 are right – why isn’t the media covering Code Pink anymore?
On 7/4 they ran Bring Our War $$$ Home! protests against BP and the war.
Every third Wednesday, they have vigils against the war.
In Albany on 7/23 there is a National Bring the Troops Home Now conference.
In August, they are having grassroots action camps
Yesterday, they had a march for peace at the Golden Gate Bridge.
Its not like the protests aren’t happening, why aren’t they in the news?
