"President Obama's bipartisan meeting on health care reform planned for February 25 will be broadcast livehttp://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/02/08/health.care/index.html?hpt=T1, a senior administration official said Monday.
Coverage details were not complete, but the official said the White House expected "the whole thing to be live."
In a CBS interview broadcast nationally Sunday, Obama said: "What I'd like to do is have a meeting whereby I'm sitting with the Republicans, sitting with the Democrats, sitting with health care experts, and let's just go through these bills -- their ideas, our ideas -- let's walk through them in a methodical way so that the American people can see and compare what makes the most sense."
Obama first floated the idea of face-to-face, televised talks with Republicans to seek a health care compromise last week. In a speech Thursday at a fundraising crowd, he said that whatever legislation emerges from the talks should then go to Congress for a vote."
I hope all o' the Republicans show-up!!
