. . Obama Scrubs Indiana Trip, Hopes to Announce Shutdown Averting [Budget Deal]AHN [All Headline News] The dark clouds of government shutdown gathering over the United States seemed to get a silver lining of hope on Thursday night as President Barack Obama sounded an optimistic note after his meeting with the House Speaker John Boehner and Senate leader Harry Reid in the presence of Vice President Joe Biden.

A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/3ekfeww . .My hope is, is that Ill be able to announce to the American people sometime relatively early in the day that a shutdown has been averted, that a deal has been completed that has very meaningful cuts in a wide variety of categories, that helps us move in the direction of living within our means, but preserves our investments in things like education and innovation, research, that are going to be important for our long-term competitiveness, said Obama
.Without mentioning them, Obama cited a few outstanding and difficult issues, saying, Theyre important to both sides. And so Im not yet prepared to express wild optimism. But I think we are further along today than we were yesterday.
. snip .Im expecting that as a consequence of the good work thats done by our staffs tonight, that we can reach an agreement tomorrow, said Obama.
. . . White House hopes last-minute heroics keep government running By CARRIE BUDOFF BROWN & GLENN THRUSH 4/8/11 4:34 AM EDT Updated: 4/8/11 7:01 AM EDT Politico http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0411/52782.html . .Republicans have hit President Barack Obama for being out of touch, disengaged and unwilling to lead on the budget negotiations and Democrats arent wild about his taste for last-minute heroics either.
.Administration officials say thats flat wrong and that Obamas team has been quietly working with lawmakers for weeks. The presidents late entry into direct talks was a calculated strategy, they say, to avoid overexposing Democrats sole marquee star and to gain maximum leverage after House Republicans and Senate Democrats fell short of an agreement.
. And to the doubters, they say it works. .Obama staged several eleventh-hour interventions on health care reform. He repeated the tactic with far greater success during last years tax-cut debate, and he did it again Tuesday popping into the White House briefing room when the drumbeat over his lack of public involvement was loudest and the talks were disintegrating behind closed doors.
.But its a strategy that chafes against his negotiating partners on both sides of the aisle and theres no guarantee it will work this time. There are many outstanding issues, from defense dollars to abortion, and the unpredictability of Speaker John Boehners tea party caucus may defy an Obama-style perils-of-Pauline rescue to prevent a shutdown by midnight Friday.
