Obama is ready to work with everyone, to speed the recovery of our country up. he said he had the pen in hand, to sign the papers that they all agree on. But a deal still has to be made, so Obama also announced that he's inviting Congressional leaders (as well as other business and community leaders) to the White House next week to get the ball rolling on negotiations. Obama said, "I am not wedded to every detail of my plan. I'm open to compromise. I'm open to new ideas." I don't look for the Republican's to put much effort in helping make things better. I believe Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, would rater see the USA go under, than to see Obama do a good job bringing our country back to where it was. I hope I'm wrong about them. for the sake of our country.
