WASHINGTON (CNN) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called her meeting with President Bush "constructive," and said the president listened to her delegation's concerns after their recent trip to Iraq.

"We reported on our trip to Iraq and Afghanistan to him," Pelosi said directly after the meeting. "He spent a good deal of time to us listening to each one of us give our impressions of what we saw there."

Pelosi added, "I think it was a very constructive meeting, it was respectful and we found some areas of agreement, in terms of our sizing up what the challenges are there."

Rep. David Hobson of Ohio, the lone Republican on the delegation that traveled to Iraq, also said the president was open to discussion.

"He asked a number of questions, he made a number of comments -- it was all very positive," Hobson told reporters. "We found a number of areas where we agree."

The meeting comes a day after news surfaced the president has agreed to establish a "bipartisan working group," with congressional leaders to improve dialogue between the two branches of government.
