NRO "President Obama is meeting with House Republicans at the Capitol. According to GOP sources, members are challenging him on a variety of issues." Among these are:
...Representative Candice Miller (R., Mich.) asked the president to stop playing games with sequestration and reopen the White House for tours.
...Representative Peter Roskam (R., Ill.) challenged Obama about his leadership. He described the current political problems in Illinois, and told Obama that he needs to do a better job than Democrats in their state.
Basically Rep. Roskam said Obama was turning the US into a big Illinois.
Obama Huddles with House Republicans "The overall tone of the meeting seems to have been cordial. Asked if Obama lectured the group, Representative Steve King (R., Iowa.) hesitated for a moment. “Maybe a little bit,” he said at last."
Republican confronts Obama on birth-control mandate "Fortenberry has been one of the most vocal critics of that decision, which was passed down by the Health and Human Services Department in January of last year as the agency was implementing the Democrats' healthcare reform law. Opponents say it will force some employers – particularly faith-based non-profits – to cover contraception in defiance of their moral convictions."
Tense meeting between President Obama, House GOP "Republicans focused on political issues — quizzing Obama on why his White House stopped giving tours after the sequester took effect. But the House GOP also delved into policy, where Republicans heard Obama say he doesn’t want to balance the budget in 10 years. That’s the challenge issued by Rep. Paul Ryan in the GOP budget unveiled on Tuesday."
