Obama takes Ohio healthcare skeptics aboard Air Force One
By Eric Zimmermann, The Hill
Obama puts the pressure on House Democrats
President Obama is getting some face time with two lawmakers who are skeptical of healthcare reform.
The president invited Reps. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) and Martha Fudge (D-Ohio) aboard Air Force One for his flight Monday to Ohio, where the president will hold a townhall on healthcare. Kucinich represents the Cleveland suburbs where Obama will be speaking.
Both lawmakers are liberals who are upset that the bill does not go far enough to crack down on insurance companies. Kucinich has said he is a "firm no," while Fudge is undecided. The flight will give the president an opportunity to press the Ohioans to vote for final passage.

A trip to Disney land would probably have done the trick to sway. Are our government officials children? A tour of Air Force one and they'll do what Obama wants. Unreal!

It has already been established that we can't believe anything obama says, why would he be able to change any thinking person's mind?

The interesting thing is, if you're on a City Council and had a private meeting it would be considered illegal unless open to the public. Where does he get off?
