That was great to see, but we need much more of this. And the default hysteria needs to be dealt with - I have a strong feeling Boehner is not nearly strong enough and tough enough to deal with it on his own; especially next week when you know it is gonna get exponentially worse. More of the Republicans and conservatives need to be able and willing to address these issues head on.
I just found this:
“President Obama held an off-the-record meeting with five conservative journalists on Tuesday afternoon.
Present at the meeting were Charles Krauthammer, the Washington Post columnist and Fox News contributor; Paul Gigot, the Wall Street Journal editorial page editor; Robert Costa, the National Review’s Washington editor; syndicated columnist Kathleen Parker; and Washington Examiner columnist Byron York, according to a source with knowledge of the meeting.
