Is it true?

That President Obama called the head of the Congressional Budget Office to the White House for a meeting after the CBO came out with its study that none of the current health care legislation being considered will actually reduce what we spend on health care, as claimed by the President?

If this is true, this seems awfully close to the line of inappropriate meddling by the Executive in the business of the Legislative. The CBO was created to cut through the politics of the budgetary process so that somewhere, somehow, Congress could get honest numbers on what they are spending.

Do you think the President was just being social or calling the CBO to the carpet for coming out with numbers that contradicted his?
