Obama seeks to build unity with Senate Democrats in election year

By way of Roberta Rampton WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama sought to construct a united front with Democratic senators on Wednesday, inviting them to the White Home to talk about "shared targets" heading into midterm elections through which Republicans will attempt to make the most Obama's woes to select up seats. Obama entreated senators to hold off on a proposed Iran sanctions invoice that many improve – and which he has vowed to veto. The White Home has said the legislation would derail a world deal to curb Iran's nuclear program. Obama, now not identified for his tendency to schmooze, sat on a stool with a microphone in the ornate East Room of the White House, giving brief remarks ahead of taking questions from senators for approximately ninety minutes.
