Establishment Conservative Journalists Meet Off-the-Record with Obama at White House
Breitbart ^ | 10/8/2013 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 10/08/2013 9:14:29 PM PDT by RightGeek

In a clear attempt to woo largely establishment conservative commentators who have loudly opposed the GOP’s current government shutdown strategy, President Obama held an off-the-record meeting with the Washington Post’s Charles Krauthammer, the Wall Street Journal editorial page editor Paul Gigot, National Review’s Washington editor Robert Costa, syndicated columnist and former CNN co-host Kathleen Parker, and Byron York of the Washington Examiner.

I’d just love to know Krauthammer’s professional opinion (psychiatrist, not commentator) of Obama, especially after meeting/observing him in person.

Actually he just wanted their advice on how to survive as a has-been!

And what an excellent choice of participants he made...

Their response should be...Repeat after me.

“I am not your serf. I am not your knave. You are not my king. I will not kiss your ring. I will not kneel.”

I’m not a journalist but how on Earth can that be remotely ethical?

I double dog dare Obama to privatly meet with Alex Jones or Mark Levin. Better yet make it a pay-per-view event in the cage.

What? Obama meeting with select press members? No unethical in any way.

Care to explain your reasoning?

Just receiving their orders. They’ll each gladly comply and play their part in the false paradigm as controlled opposition.

I think this is not his first time meeting with Obama. Seem to recall a similar event a few years back.

I guess I’ll have to reassess York. I didn’t figure him for a stooge.

Seriously, what a vacuum.

Kathleen Parker? She is not even a moderate Republican.

York has done some good work, but is so laid back you can miss his point anyway.

Krauthammer will take his talent to plug any side of any issue, as long as there’s a paycheck at the end of it. He doesn’t seem to care about anything much.
