Looks like Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro could be partying Sunday at the White House.
The AP is reporting that DeLauro is one of 15 lawmakers invited to Obama's home for the Super Bowl. She is the only one from Connecticut on the list.
Obama has supposedly invited a bipartisan group, and it is another step in the president's effort to reach out to lawmakers. He is hoping to break down the partisan divide in Washington, D.C.
Do you think his efforts are working? Last I heard, Republicans were pretty set against his economic stimulus plan. Think inviting them over for some pizza and beer will help?
What can Obama do to bridge the gap? Will he succeed in unifying Congress? I think this brings us back to an age-old question. Why can't we all just get along?

First,drop the ornaments from bailout,install tax cuts suggested by Republicans,combine the best parts of bailout put together by both groups,add in peoples comments of such and have Senate do same.
I find it difficult to believe that Republicans will be swayed by Obama's pizza and beer. And, if by some chance, Republicans are swayed by charm, food and alcohol, then they should just resign now.
Obama should eliminate the pork from his exorbitantly enormous spending package...new cars for federal employees???? Give me a break! Hasn't he learned by now that throwing money at a problem does not necessarily solve the problem? I think he should let the markets adjust themselves---yes, this will take time, but his proposal will only worsen conditions. BUSINESS needs to grow, NOT GOVERNMENT. The way to stimulate business is via tax cuts--like Reagan did cutting the rate from 70% to 28%.
Some Democrats---the last number I heard was 11 Democrats---oppose Obama's plan so I hope Obama will take a step back and rethink instead of just reacting compulsively with these pumped up spending numbers.
