Lawmakers huddle with Obama on Libya

From NBC's Kelly O'Donnell and Carrie Dann
At 2pm ET, President Barack Obama is scheduled to make his first public comments addressing last night's United Nations Security Council vote to impose a no-fly zone over Libya.

His remarks will take place after an emergency bipartisan meeting of key lawmakers, who are discussing the situation with the president at the White House.

Several members of Congress will participate by phone because they are no longer in Washington after wrapping up legislative business yesterday. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner, and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor are among those who will call in to the meeting.
