President Barack Obama has invited Republican and Democratic lawmakers for drinks at the White House as they consider his economic recovery bill that still faces opposition.
White House aides say about two dozen key members of Congress were invited to the Executive Mansion Wednesday evening. The guest list includes six House Democrats, six House Republicans and five senators from each party.
The event is expected to start after the House considers Obama's $825 billion economic recovery bill that he has championed virtually daily in his young presidency.
Obama went to Capitol Hill Tuesday to meet with Republicans, some of whom have called some parts of his plan "insane."
