Republican Sen. Scott Brown will get his wish this summer to play hoops with the president.
"He actually said we can play basketball," Brown said, referring to one of the takeaways from his meeting at the White House today with President Obama.
There, however, was some substance out of the meeting.
Brown said his meeting with the president covered a host of issues, but the oil spill and energy/climate legislation seemed to dominate. The Massachusetts senator said he made it clear that he would not support legislation offered by Democrats that caps emmissions.
"I told him I'm not in favor nor could I support a national energy tax or a 'cap and trade' proposal," he told reporters outside the Senate chamber. "But I'm very excited about working with him in a bipartisan manner to come up with a comprehensive energy plan."
Brown suggested new legislation address wind, solar, hydro, nuclear, geo-thermal, and grants/loans for businesses.
"I told him take the best from each bill [that's been offered by Senators]: from Lugar, from Murkowski, from Kerry," Brown said, "and pull together a bill that everyone can support."

Tweety strikes again, who was the idiot from Pensacola he just had on his show, there are 470 skimmers in the Gulf and 15 foreign vessels, please go the the Deep Water Horizon website. Tweety should go work for the National Enquirer.
I give up -- Joe Scarborough?
'Tweety' is sounding more like 'Foghorn Leghorn' with each passing day...
"Why I TELL you I say"...
Yes, indeed, Feisty. Yes, indeed.
Don't you know it Anna Molly... lol
Ayla is hot. Dems are ignorant...and who the **** is "tweety?"
Gee.. I don't know FUC? Why don't you figure it out?
OKAY I GIVE, KIETH THE MELLON HEAD (I wouldn't say that if he wasn't talking crap) Who was that idjuit that he just had on..you pundits are the biggest, stupidest, dumbf';/.ked ness ever unleashed on the "American People"..we want to be informed not bullsh';./;ed.
OKAY RACHEL'S TURN.. I agree with your assessment however your conclusions are flawed..one quick thought..opinions are like a/.'holes every one has one...duh.. I worked on the Davis Pond project..massive..quit being duplicitous..listen to what the POTUS said. What he is talking about is way bigger than what you pundits in your 24 hr cycle can even comprehend..say goodnight Rachel.
I luff yous guys
I hear you.
I'll overlook Keith and Rachel and continue to enjoy their shows, although I disagreed completely with their view of President Obama's speech. Chris, Howard, Keith, Rachel all wanted a political speech and a lot of policy. They were wrong, that was not the place for political policy-making. If they had stopped long enough to actually analyze what Pres Obama said, instead of thinking about what they wanted, they would have found some substance in what he said.
I am discouraged by the lack of any engineering intelligence and detailed jounalistic professionalism of Chris, Howard, Keith, and Rachel regarding the entire Gulf Coast disaster. They do not have a clue on how to go about fixing this human man made disaster and yet they expouse fear and misunderstanding ( like chicken little, "The sky is falling"). This is indeed a real problem for America give that these four are the the best in their trade.
As a general statement the entire US media is a disgrace with fox news also being disgusting and un American by their total lack of any segement of the truth. Does free speech also mean telling lies and speading false hoods. What happened to truth and actual facts in advertising and "news" reporting?
On a positive note, Mr. Matthews had an outstanding documentary on the New radical right
