President Barack Obama said on Friday that a private lunch with 16 top Republican and Democratic leaders from Congress was a good chance to find out what progress is possible on economic issues facing the country.
"The American people just want to see work done," Obama said, sandwiched into a small, private dining room at the White House with leaders and some of his top aides.
"They're frustrated by the gridlock. They'd like to see more cooperation. I think all of us have the responsibility... to try to make that happen," Obama said.
The lunch will include herb-crusted sea bass, a salad of bibb lettuce and pumpkin tart.
