Manchin skipping Obama's Capitol Hill meeting
By Rebecca Savransky - 01/04/17 08:43 AM EST

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) says he doesn't plan to attend President Obama's Wednesday meeting with Democrats about defending ObamaCare.

"In good conscience, I can't do it," Manchin said Wednesday on MNSBC's "Morning Joe."

"If anyone listened and paid attention to what the American people said when they voted, they want this place to work. Can you imagine in here ... we have the outgoing president coming up here today to talk to only Democrats. We have the incoming vice president coming up to talk only to Republicans."

I'd call a press conference....hoping that a dozen or so other DEMS find some courage.

Put the country before party....boyz and girlz.
