STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): I saw a message from one of our producers on Capitol Hill that said that [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell [(R-KY)] said anytime President Obama invited him to the White House, he always showed up. This is the first time he could ever remember somebody not showing up for a presidential meeting, particularly something this important, because we're talking about financing the federal government of the United States for another year.
