Boehner: GOP leaders haven’t met Obama for health talks since April

The ball is in President Obama’s court to reach out to Republicans if he wants a bipartisan bill on healthcare reform, House GOP Leader John Boehner (Ohio) said Monday morning.Boehner told reporters that the president has not invited House GOP leaders to the White House for meetings on healthcare reform since the end of April.
Earlier this year, GOP leaders sent a letter to the president in May stating that they would like to work with the administration to find “common ground” on healthcare reform.
But the administration responded with a tersely worded letter indicating that they had healthcare reform under control.
If not mistaken, didn’t the house refuse to allow republican input on Obamacare? Whether or not, our President’s calls for bipartisanship and his noble claims of blindness to party politics are grossly contradicted by his own resistance to anything resembling his own words.
On another note, why bother hitching the republican party to this unpopular and anti-freedom legislation? Let the dems sink with it.
