President Obama met with a group of prominent liberal commentators on Thursday to discuss the Gulf oil spill and the administration's response. The meeting came in the midst of a rare firestorm of criticism from the left over the president's response to the spill.
It was surely not coincidence that the journalists seen leaving the White House that afternoon--the New York Times's Gail Collins, the Washington Post's Eugene Robinson, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, and the Wall Street Journal's Gerald Seib--were some of the more prominent critics of the president's Oval Office address on Tuesday

They were a quart low on adulation and needed to be re-fueled.
...more like a spanking.
I’m sure they are all kissing his ring right now.
You could tell the liberal commentators were taken to the wood shed last night. They didn’t just tone it down they were 180 from the night before.
Catching Heat From Left, Obama Meets With Liberal Commentators to Discuss Gulf Spill
What a disgusting, puny, narcissistic bully.
The poll numbers must be rattling that skinny head of his.
We know now (as if we didn’t already) not the believe anything they say. It’s obviously not their viewpoints but talking points.
He brought them in to read them the riot act and tell them what is instore from them or instill fear if they do not tow the line.
Stalin's little puppit....
I wonder if they’ll get more than 15 minutes.
No Chrissie Matthews ?
Maybe they were afraid he’d pee on the carpet.
It's telling that the Obama Admin moves much more quickly to contain political problems in the liberal media universe than it did to contain the oil spill.
This says it all...
The meeting also suggests that Obama is devoting more effort to spinning his administration’s policies concerning the gulf spill than he is with actually devising more effective policies. His meeting with these lefty journalists was, after all, roughly three times as long as his meeting with BP CEO Tony Hayward.
This guy has an empty skull. He brought in the media to tell him what to say so he can get his poll numbers back up. Nothing else. This has nothing to do with marching orders. It is Obama out of ideas and picking their brains on what to do next.
He has never been and never will be any kind of leader. Zero original thought.
Maybe they were afraid he’d pee on the carpet.
I'd be.
