"We are very, very committed so that the middle class and workers don't end up paying the tab for a party we didn't get to go to, and the president is committed to that as well," said AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. Participants in the meeting also voiced their fierce opposition to raising the eligibility age for Medicare and Social Security, he said.
The hour-long meeting included officials from the activist group MoveOn.org, the union AFSCME, the woman's group AAUW and the liberal think-tank Center for American Progress. All were active in Obama's re-election effort, and Obama could call on them for help as he makes his case to the American people for his "balanced" approach to cutting the country's yawning deficit problem.
"We won the election, but we're going into another campaign now," AFSCME President Lee Saunders said after the meeting.
Obama is scheduled to meet with 12 business executives Wednesday and is likely to meet with congressional leaders from both parties Friday to discuss the looming fiscal crisis.
