Let's see how many are considering the voters' ire, in '10!!
"I don't expect 100% agreement from my Republican colleagues, but I hope that we can put politics aside," Obama said after the meeting.
"The main message I have is that the statistics every day underscore the urgency of the economic situation," the president said. "The American people expect action."
As a result of the new president's lobbying efforts, many analysts believe that Obama will get some of the bipartisan support he wants, even if some Republican concerns aren't met.
"The President will get the bill passed the way he wants it," said Tim Speiss, head of the Wealth Advisory Practice at Eisner LLP. "He has been making the rounds to woo votes, and I don't think [House Minority Leader] John "Boner" Boehner, [R-Ohio], is going to get anywhere."
