President Barack Obama met with several MSNBC hosts this afternoon at the White House to discuss tax rates, according to Huffington Post reporter Jennifer Bendery. The reporter wondered if an "MSNBC love fest" was going on at the White House.
Here's Bendery's reporting, in a series of tweets:
Just passed Al Sharpton walking into the WH.

Also, Al Sharpton is so unbelievably tiny now. I actually gasped when I saw him pass by just now. Hope he's ok.

Rachel Maddow is now in the West Wing. How do I know this? I just walked in with her.
— jennifer bendery (@jbendery) December 4, 2012
Never met Maddow until now. We kind of look alike, esp today. My intro: "Are you my long lost sister?" Her: "Glad we both got the memo."

Maddow, heading into West Wing, said she was here for a "hippie cabal." Asked if I was coming. NO, DAMN IT, I WASN'T INVITED.

So... in the last hour, I watched Rachel Maddow, Al Sharpton and Lawrence O'Donnell all walk into the West Wing. MSNBC love fest?(continued)

Forget about the first 100 in the phone book, I’d settle for the first 100 in the nut house.
Well, well...if there was any doubt that the MSM was anything but a proxy arm of the DNC, this absolutely erases all doubt...
??????
The official position of the White House is left-wing barking moonbattery.
It’s the other way around. The DNC is the political wing of the MSM.
Elections have consequences...
The moonbats are in charge.
They won; to Hell with us and anybody else.
While he wasn’t my ideal or favored candidate, does anyone here think Mitt Romney would have had a “Hippie Cabal” in the White House?
Some people’s hatred of RINOs, Mormons and the not idealogically pure will be the death of all we hold dear....
God knows what will come of this, but I would worry if I were you!
FR readers are not surprised that the current occupant of the white house hangs out with leftist moonbats and criminals.
The man has no shame.
A real man wouldn’t be seen in the same room with those people.
Rachel Maddow & Al Sharptongue at the White House.Unfrigginbelievable.
Our country is in the hands of a total idiot.
They’re colluding how to manage the left-wing news when Obama ends up extending the Bush tax cuts for all.
Who just wants the car to go over the cliff? I do!
Obama will also be pressed on entitlement reform...another sacred cow of the left.
The meeting was held to manage the way the deal will be covered on the left; I have no doubt about that.
I wish he were “only” an idiot.
But it’s much worse than that.
These folks are our new version of Pravda/Tass
They are probaby excited about their future in this role.
The same type of idiots are currently re-writing the “core-curriculum” for our nation’s children.
Oh well - I can homeschool, right? or send them to private school, right? Wrong.
The writers of Race To The Top and Core Curriculum will make sure there is no escape.
Does anyone really think O wants to avoid the cliff?
The cliff is part of the plan

Obama Wrong: Housing, Not Tax, Policy Caused Recession
By PAUL SPERRY
Posted 12/04/2012 06:39 PM ET
President Obama argues Republicans want to go back to pre-recession policies of cutting “taxes for the folks at the very top” and rolling back “regulations on big banks.”
He warned: “We tried that top-down approach. It’s what caused the mess in the first place.”
Did it, though?
Most economists agree the recession was caused by the subprime mortgage crisis, which had little if anything to do with tax policies.
In fact, real economic growth accelerated after 2003, when the Bush tax cuts for top earners and small businesses fully went into effect. The 73-month economic boom of the 2000s didn’t end until December 2007, when the housing market collapsed.
So what killed housing?
To hear Obama, greedy bankers were allowed to run amok, rubber-stamping loans for practically anyone with a pulse.
He’s right that underwriting was a joke, and as someone who advocated for easier home lending, he would know.
Clinton’s Role
Only, it wasn’t because regulators looked the other way. Quite the opposite; they encouraged lenders to make risky loans.
Shoddy subprime lending expanded due in large part to federal housing regulations that institutionalized “flexible” mortgage underwriting standards for loan originators and government-backed mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
