Even as conservative Republicans vowed not to yield on their Obamacare demands for delay, President Barack Obama announced he would meet with the four top leaders of Congress at the White House on Wednesday to urge lawmakers to reopen the government and raise the U.S. debt ceiling.
Obama will meet at 5:30 p.m. EDT with Republican House Speaker John Boehner, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.
Boehner's office said the meeting would be the start of serious talks to bridge differences that led to government agencies closing down.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a tea party favorite, said there would be no solution until Obama and Democrats who control the Senate agree to discuss problems with the nation's unfolding healthcare overhaul.
"The pigsty that is Washington, D.C., gets mud on a lot of people, and the question is, what are you going to do moving forward?" Chaffetz, R-Utah, said on CBS' "This Morning."
Nearly all of the lawmakers who spoke to Newsmax insisted that, after the House took three votes on continuing resolutions in 10 days, their constituents were rallying to their side in the ongoing duel with the Senate and White House.
