President Obama is back again -- -another trip up Pennsylvania Ave to the Capitol.  He is lunching with his former Senate Democratic colleagues in the Mansfield Room, but before that, Fox has learned that he will meet privately with the North Dakota delegation to talk about that state's serious flood problems along the Red River in Fargo.

Obama faces some uphill challenges from members of his own party, particularly on cap and trade. And new deficit projections out of CBO arent helping him on health care either.  Despite all the spinning that Dems & the White House are nearly identical on budgets --- they're quite far apart.
