President Obama said he hopes to check a few more items off his legislative agenda after Election Day.

“My hope is that we can make some modest progress in areas where we agree and where we’ve been working together,” Obama said after meeting with top congressional leaders at the White House on Monday. “After the election, I’m even more hopeful that we can get some things done. But I want to thank everybody for coming here. My hope is that by the time Congress adjourns, before the election, that we will have an agreement in place to fund the government,” he told reporters after the meeting.
