'We're working out the issues,' House Dems say after Obama climate meeting

President Obama urged House Democrats today to reach consensus on global warming and energy legislation during a closed-door White House meeting. After the meeting, Democrats stressed that Obama stayed away from details and urged lawmakers guarding regional interests to work together. Waxman declined to comment when asked if the markup would start this week, saying only that he remains committed to moving the bill by Memorial Day. The Democrats also confirmed a published report that the White House was interested in linking support for a climate change bill with a separate plan to expand domestic energy production...NYTimes
