Obama meets with governors on economy
40 governors and governors-elect — including Palin — plan to attend

WASHINGTON - President-elect Barack Obama is meeting with nearly all the U.S. governors in Philadelphia next Tuesday to discuss how the economic crisis is crimping states and their budgets.

Nick Shapiro, a spokesman for the Obama transition, said the meeting will provide an opportunity for Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden to talk with state chief executives about "the unique challenges facing our states." The discussions are being hosted by National Governors Association Chairman Ed Rendell and Vice Chairman Jim Douglas.

Douglas said 40 governors and governors-elect plan to attend the group discussion, which was put together just in the last few days, at the city's famed Independence Hall .

1. Keith said Mooselini is supposed to be there.

That should go over like a lead balloon.

2. She is, and no doubt, she'll try to elbow out everyone else. I hope

she might one day realize it's not all about her.

5. She's a sociopath..one leaves the stage..

another one enters.

11. One can hope

I can't think of a better place for her to come to that realization. Hard to imagine Rendell letting her upstage anyone. She's a lightweight in that group, IMO.

Not to mention how little time she's spent governing her state these days.

3. Tell her the meeting is out by the bell.

4. Brilliant..I love how Obama likes to get everyone

involved and sets the standard.

[onehandle]

6. Will Palin let him talk? Will she be covered in turkey blood?

These are the questions that don't keep me up at night.

7. Who is not coming?

I'd like to see that list...

8. Ear marks, get your red hot ear marks. Step right on up and get your piece of the pie...

:sarcasm:

What will John Mccain say (Mr. You Will Know Their Names) and what will Sarah Palin say as she grabs her cut (Miss Wasilla Budget Killa)?

Don't really care, just slightly curious.

What a bunch of pukey hypocrites....

9. Palin will be just another governor and Obama and Biden are Prez and VP

That is better then any Thanksgiving turkey or pumpkin pie

10. does this mean palin is associating with terrorists associaters

who don't love america as she does?

I'm concerned about her 2012 run.

12. Palin may actually have something to contribute...

seeing as the Oil fund that each Alaskan gets dividends from may be a model for some of fed-controlled proposals for banking/auto/etc.

13. Why only 40? n/t

14. Ugh. Traffic nightmare.
